Read this comment before watching the vid- and god I was so confused. I kept rereading it thinking I had read it wrong 😂 And THEN I got context and everything now makes sense.
Stereotypes are the reason that my parents didn't believe I was gay when I came out in high school. They said there were "no signs" and I was just wanting attention. This lead to me being deeply closeted for over 10 years and struggling with my sexuality. I thought because I didn't fit into typical stereotypes that I wasn't queer enough or that my parents were right, it was just me bring confused. It was awful. I became really depressed. It literally took up to a few months ago for me to be okay with myself and throw all the stereotypes in the garbage. I love women and that's what makes me gay. Literally nothing else.
I agree. Stereotypes have harmed me too. I'm the opposite: everyone always assumed I was a lesbian because of stereotypes. 20 years later I finally realize I'm a gay trans man and that's why "queer" feels good but "lesbian" was just never right for me. Proud of you for finding yourself in all the noise :)
4:45 The good part of "stereotypes" is when it fosters community and relatability. It is nice and validating when you realize certain aspects of yourself are found in other people too, makes you feel less alone and life a little more lighthearted :)
I laughed until I cried. In some ways, it was like seeing someone walking through a minefield blindfolded, but in a Monty Python way. The two of you are great together. For a long time I was hoping the two of you would collaborate together and each time you've done it you've exceeded my expectations.
Ohmygooood Alayna's insecurity with her hands before was also an experience of mine oh my gooooood!!! I have both very big hands and feet and felt very insecure about it as a child. Now, i feel so much joy about this part of me bc i like presenting masc!
Omg I so relate to Alayna saying that everything non-sexual turns her on lmao! I'm the same exact way with my partner. I can't handle anything 😂Standing a certain way, wearing black, wearing shorts, the veins in her hands or arms being pronounced, seeing any part of her hands in a photo or looking at them for too long in person 😂 The list is infinite.
THing about stereotypes I was literally having this conversation with my friend and I was saying how annoying it is that they exist, BUT at the same time I am part of the problem that contributes to the stereotype (obviously unknowningly) because you really cannot choose who, what and how you are attracted to people, etc
mak i just wanted to take a second to tell you how much help you are to so many people you light up my day every time i see your face on any platform aswell as your sisters hope you are having a good day. thank you your amazing
I loved what you guys said about stereotypes most people just look at them negatively but there are some good ones too and after I realized I was bi I leaned into some of them in the way I dressed and stuff and I felt more confident because I was being true to myself and people assume I'm queer now so I just automatically fit in with the other queer people at my school if that makes sense
This is gonna sound so dumb but I just got my heart broken yesterday and I'm in like mental and physical pain at this moment right now. At the same time I found your youtube channel and your tiktok and for some reason your content and you in general kind of ease me in a sense, I don't know why. I'm like dwell in sadness, pain and memories and everything is like crashing down on me and your content is like a float for me to hold on to and keeps me stable. So like, thank you, please keep making videos
The more masculine stereotype, I totally agree with what's being said. I came out recently, I always dressed the way that people expected of me, with a tiny bit of my own style. Now I came out, I'm finally daring to explore my own style, as in a more masculine style. It makes me feel more confident and I never felt like I was allowed to, until I came out.
i could literally watch full half-hour/hour videos of yall two lollll... such funny and warm, but also just as heartfelt and relatable and assuring content.
Mak your Friday video and this video were my late lunch break on an insanely busy day. Both videos made my break better than I could have hoped for. I'm recharged by this. I've also now added time to my break to watch this video a second time.
Hey I'm sorry to hear that btw I'm feeling down too , but let's always believe in ourselves and think good because everything happens for a reason right
I know I'm late to this, but I just wanted to give my two cents. In regards to which is more common "Mommy Issues," or "Daddy Issues": First of all, I don't particularly like these terms, as I think they're very reductive of very real and deep trauma. That said, I think "Daddy Issues" are more common because , by and large, men are expected to do A LOT less emotional labor than women. A woman has to do quite a lot to be considered a "good mother." In comparison to men, who are expected to do very little in regards to caring for their child's needs, outside of roof over head, breadwinning stuff. Because of this, I think overall "Daddy Issues" are far more common.
Mac, you're such a kind and generous person. I can see you have a great capacity to love and hold space for those you care about. Gives me a standard to hold out for :)
"Daddy" or "Mommy" "issues." Thing is, even as you folks were discussing it, it almost sounds like people are looking for reasons we're queer. You know? High school biology.... regardless of my relationship and friendship with my parents, I will or will not have baby-fine hair on my fingers above the first, or even, second, knuckle. My dad has blue eyes. My mom has brown eyes. I started with brown eyes. At 50, my eyes roam between hazel, green, and blue. In the words of Meghan Trainor, "G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S," it's my genetics. The dominant gene is the binary. However, just based on high school biology class and the quadrants of recessive genes, why is it so hard to believe that queer, in all of its wonderous forms, would exist naturally, regardless of how we interact with our parents. My parents had NOTHING to do with whether I'm a lesbian. That's genetics.
this was a really sweet video. queer friendships are amazing!! unrelated - don't feel like you have to have a "hoe phase." There are lots of people who don't have casual sex, and it doesn't mean they have a different sexuality. Everyone's level of trust, safety, vulnerability, etc is different.
Love you both and you’re both hilarious and totally relate to things that turns you on wow so much, and enjoyed this video a lot. Loved the depth of conversation you both had and made my day so much better. Thank you so much for sharing this
Even the fun stereotypes can suck. I don't match like any of the bi stereotypes and it gives me big FOMO even though they are used in that kind of fun 'in crowd' kind of way. Just something I think of with the within queer community stereotype stuff. Which you acknowledge but still bums me out.
I love the videos you two make. And no worries about shipping you two here that is just weird. I especially like when you two talk about labels. Personally they drive me insane and I hate using them. There are way too many and more everyday. I know some people like them and need them to feel like they fit in or belong someplace. No judgement here. For me I use three to describe myself lesbian, gentlewoman and hopeless romantic other than that I am just Tinne. We are all unique in our own ways so just do you and not worry about labels. Alayna would probably say I am a Demisexual and Demiromantic which I had to look up. As long as it is not toxic people can call me whatever they want. Labels usually make others feel comfortable because they do not define me. The shaving topic was great! I personally shave only my head once a year. I have never in my life shaved my pubic area. I use to shave my legs and armpits then I stopped. My body knows what it is doing and it is there for a reason why mess with it? Nature has it’s own ecosystem for balance and health so does the human body! But I respect what others want to do because as you both said it is a personal choice!
I’m a girl and I like girls. I don’t climb, I roller skate. Could that be perceived as gay? Like is that something that if I’m doing it, someone would be like oh she’s gay?
I don't think anyone is interested in reading this but i'm just gonna write it down anyway. So, I was watching the video and when i came to the part where they were talking about climbing it reminded me of something. (I am a lesbian but i'm scared of highs so i don't climb and my friends know that I like girls) One day, my friends and I were walking and they wanted to do sport and they proposed climing so I told them I couldn't. But then, they looked at me and said "but aren't you a lesbian tho ?" and even though I know a lot of lesbian woman blimb it surprised me how they seemed shocked by the fact I don't climb.
alayna finding vacuuming and picking up boxes attractive makes so much sense
Hahahaha right?! I thought that sounds like things I would be turned on by 😂
Read this comment before watching the vid- and god I was so confused. I kept rereading it thinking I had read it wrong 😂
And THEN I got context and everything now makes sense.
I love to see some queer people get together and grow closer, doesn’t have to be romantic to still be important :) thanks Mak
Same
Lmao Alayna being an emotionally distant mother with her delayed "I love you" 😂
😂

I’m so sorry😭but I’m glad you’re yourself now
Thank you for this other perspective 💞
I'm glad you've been able to embrace your own identity ☺️
I ship it
Mak saying "if girl...girl.. was real. girl" cavemen talk makes me laugh more it should
Fr 😂
Mak short circuiting when Alayna said I love you too😂😭
you two are such a vibe 💛 gonna patiently wait for the “when women.. “ video 😂
And the "who got more game" video.
hypothetically, your hypothetical girlfriends seem cool
Lol
We know it’s you mam
Oh this is getting bolder I love it! I hope whether they really are dating or not mahak can feel safe and supported❤️
hypothetically they seem pretty swaggy

Alana is hilarious "she'll like pick up a box".
Alayna
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle ya sorry that's what I have trouble spelling
you should definitely do a video of ‘when women:’ with alayna. that’d be so funny!
Ohmygooood Alayna's insecurity with her hands before was also an experience of mine oh my gooooood!!! I have both very big hands and feet and felt very insecure about it as a child. Now, i feel so much joy about this part of me bc i like presenting masc!
"the only thing that could make climbing better for lesbians is if we used our tongues" dyyyyingggg

Sooooo hypothetically speaking….. mahak and mak video together soon?!?! 😳🤍
Uh! Best collabs on the entire internet : a new episode !!!!!!!!
I litterally can't stop smiling right now 😱😃😃😃😃😃😃
mak i just wanted to take a second to tell you how much help you are to so many people you light up my day every time i see your face on any platform aswell as your sisters hope you are having a good day.

Also, Mak saying "get you a girl that can do both" in reference to having mommy and daddy issues 😂😂

So like, thank you, please keep making videos
I just love when Mak and Alayna collaborate..you guys are just hilarious 🤣 ❤
i just need more of your combo its just hella interesting and enriching
I wouldn't be mad at a "when women" video tbh 👀😂
Love you two together, please keep making content♥️
Haha Mak being super nervous after Alayna told her I love you for the first time 😂
take a shot everytime mak says hypothetically
You two are so adorable together - can't wait to see another video of you two talking!
I would love a when women... video. Just the little bit of you guys talking gave me a ton more confidence.
You are the only two RUclips channels which content I look forward to and actually watch every week and I love your colabs!!!

literally superior
Climbing checks all the boxes. I love the logic.

8:02. Mak i think its also words of affirmation 😅😅😂
Dudeeeeeee I was waiting for this fir so long. I missed your videos ❤️
I love Mak’s hair !
I loved the second part! Also cannot wait for the trio with Ashley hahahah
The hottest non-sexual thing is when someone does something skillfully. Be it folding laundry, training in a sport, talking to kids. Uh. Oh. my. God.
AHHHHHHHHH finally part 2
Legit thought Alayna talking about Boogs, then when she said, "when she's vacuuming, omg..", I'm like, "wot?"
As a quality time lover myself, I can hypothetically empathize with the LDR thing! *insert "I'm in this pic & I don't like it" meme here*
Hi! Love your videos I usually do not comment but here I am right now :) I love your work and I hope you are doing well, take care!!
this was a really sweet video. queer friendships are amazing!! unrelated - don't feel like you have to have a "hoe phase." There are lots of people who don't have casual sex, and it doesn't mean they have a different sexuality. Everyone's level of trust, safety, vulnerability, etc is different.
2:37 I literally do that with my necklaces all the time
Hey Mak,I hope you have a beautiful day,you are amazing 🙃🥰
Isn't it great...Now Alayna's hands are her Superpower
Thank you for giving it a name "demisexual" I've always related to Mak in that aspect but couldn't put a finger on it
If Mak, Alayna, and Ashley collab I will actually die
Love your collabs!! 😍
You both are the best duo
1:17 was me whenever I was going through my break up
Love you both and you’re both hilarious and totally relate to things that turns you on wow so much, and enjoyed this video a lot. Loved the depth of conversation you both had and made my day so much better. Thank you so much for sharing this
this is so cuuuuuuute yes more collabs omg in person would be fab!!
6:42 as a (mostly confused) bisexual, relating to this part too much is making me anxious 😂
This is beautiful! I absolutely LOVE these videos! 🧡🧡
It’s very hard to grasp that there are still people irl shipping in 2022. I thought we moved on from that.
Mak pulling her hair back! 👍
Alayna’s nose..👍
you two definitely have chemistry :)
Doesn't need to be romantic, but you can't expect us to not ship it :P
I think they’re together but trying to play it off that they’re not. I could be wrong but I feel it in my gut, and usually it’s right hehe
@@ima.m.1658 i doubt it based off of the things mak has said abt her gf on the WHGS podcast lmao
mak your mars is in scorpio thats why you need an emotional attachment to be intimate rather than hookups - from an astrological point of view ✨✨
that’s what i was thibking
Oh, so that's what my Scorpio Venus is reacting to 🥵
Bye
8:02 the sweetest thing LOL
Oh hey mommy is back
Y’all just confirming both of y’all are in a relationship w/ eachother
I like the fact that you two are good friends
ive been waiting for this =D woohoo!!
Tell me you are dating someone with out telling me you are dating someone... or actively denying it..🙌🏽
Even the fun stereotypes can suck. I don't match like any of the bi stereotypes and it gives me big FOMO even though they are used in that kind of fun 'in crowd' kind of way. Just something I think of with the within queer community stereotype stuff. Which you acknowledge but still bums me out.
Lifting up heavy things and forearms. alayna would loose it seeing a girl do Reverse Barbell Curls, Wrist Curls and the Forearm Roller
2:17

I love you! No romo :)
Only platonic things here
Can't wait for the when woman video 😍 love u both
love watching you mak🥰
Please stay positive! You are beautiful and loved very much
This made me feel kind of insecure about my tiny baby hands 🥺
But I actually love my tiny little baby hands 😁
I'm also very strong still 😉
I’m a girl and I like girls. I don’t climb, I roller skate. Could that be perceived as gay? Like is that something that if I’m doing it, someone would be like oh she’s gay?
The amount of flirting in this video😂, then they have the audacity to tell us not to ship them😂
love this duo ❤️
I don't think anyone is interested in reading this but i'm just gonna write it down anyway.
So, I was watching the video and when i came to the part where they were talking about climbing it reminded me of something.

Mak, Your Adam's apple is Gi-freaking-gantic!
You guys would be a good ship hahahaha! ❤️ love you both I love these collabs together!
If you guys just started a mutual podcast channel I would watch the shit out of it
