I watched the c4 doc and the main person lives by me. They work in a large local shop. I'm not for this. No idea why some men think being a woman is easy, try working full time while having endometriosis and the docs saying its just period pain for 8 years, whilst raising 2 kids solo. Love you and your outlook.
They think it's easier and honestly being trans alone is difficult. In my humble opinion trans male to female is...idk a word for it. So people like Blaire, like Alexis true transsexuals get it. The problem here lies when they still think and have the "male mentality". As a born woman, I scan the room instinctually for exits, routy behaviors and men. Anything that can harm me without even a thought. All women do within seconds of entering any situation. Unless you have grown up this way or discover by becoming female you just don't get it! Being female is an entire way of life, mentality and vibe. You can totally see the difference between transtrenders,AGPs and true trans folks (speaking mostly on MtF) I can't tell you how many times I've yelled at my screen, No girl!! Your man is showing! And I mean that entirely on how they act and not passability! I suppose my FtM example would be going to the gym 🏋️♂️ and bawling your eyes out at the free weights. I gaurentee the other men would be asking 1 of 2 things... either "Bro you good?" Or "you done with that?" Because again...gender isn't just genitals it's a mindspace. Trans people are trans in order to change the outside with how the inside is. Not to just wear a dress! Personally I think that alot of these tenders are incels who couldn't get laid or find any friends, so now they tack on a new identity and have a whole cult that will show them affection and confirm their delusions. I'm sad to say I believe that makes up about 80% if not more of the insane blue haired, commi leftys right now
“Positives of being a woman: cheaper car insurance and cleaner bathrooms” Whilst some of the negatives of being a woman: being disproportionately affected by domestic violence, r@pe, lower pay (depending where you are), being catcalled and sexualised even as a child, I could go on. This is so incredibly fucking offensive to women and genuine trans people. I’m hoping this is a small insane minority that channel 4 have given air time to stir up controversy. Great video and take as usual!
The second one is a bogus perk because I know a lot of women who are not clean at all. Although there are a lot of perks to being a woman like society caring more for your emotions, easier dating options (transmaxxers think like incels tbh), way more opportunities with DEI always prefering LGBTQIA+ and women over men. Also people generally don't view as a social threat so interacting is easier (learned this from trans friends who pass)
I think you missed the majority of positives: - you don't need to go to army, if war happens you don't need to go there and roulette your life on battlefront -> no you are in majority safe at home - you can wear/do whatever the fuck you want. Wanna wear skirts? Sure knock yourself out. Want to have nice nails? no problem. If men do anything feminine, at best you get strange looks, at worst you can get death penalty in some countries. Just think how privileged you are by being allowed to do anything you want and nobody bats an eye about it! - female privileges are real, not only those in points above, but you get much better treatment in some cases just by being feminine. Wanna try dating as a man? I dare you. There is a video of one woman, who lived as a man 18 months, got into big depression and died in 2022 with medically helped suicide. Go look it up and be amazed! Also who do you think build houses, roads, electrical grid,...? All pretty dangerous jobs, women do not need to do or be expected to do. Lower wage? Go into STEM and I assure you, that you will have nice salary as engineer. My gf has almost 6 figures. Problem is that a lot of women do not have ANY interest in working in STEM fields. Lately this is slowly changing, but still, majority of hard and dangerous low paid jobs are still done my men. You think it is fun doing low paid job at 40C degrees outside doing physical labour? Without that, you would live in cave. Also women can get sex in matter of minutes, while a lot of men goes without physical contact for years. Look up male loneliness epidemic. If you are a man with low paid job, you have 0.01% chances any woman will date you -> 99% of women do not want to date a man who earns less than them. In history those unmarried men were usually slaves or soldiers (cannon fodder). In modern world, the only thing that is changed is that they do not wear chains. - while I agree that women are disproportionately affected by physical violence, men are mainly affected by psychological violence. Suicide rate is 4 times higher in men than in women... dare to think why? :) You see feminists only fight for equal privileges and rights, but never for equal duties and responsibilities. I say this: "Equal rights - Equal fights".
That trans counselor has a very misogynistic view of "natural" women. I am a 53 year old biological woman and mother of 3 biologically male children. I have a history of PCOS, so I have weight issues, thinning hair, etc. I don't wear makeup and I dress in jeans and t-shirts. I have been married to the same man for almost 27 years. Never once did I attempt to attract a man because he was rich. I know it happens, just like there are men looking for a trophy wife. I don't think that's the norm, however, and shouldn't be someone's goal. Most of us are just doing the best we can and want to be happy and comfortable in our own skin. I think it's sad and morally wrong to encourage people, especially minors, to make permanent changes to their bodies to get some sort of perks that would be temporary at best, and as you pointed out, would ultimately cause gender dysphoria that would be harder to manage because of the permanent changes caused by the hormone replacement. You are wonderful, and entitled to your feelings and opinions, so don't apologize for them❤
@@Lea-bw9wj Absolutely. A lot of men don't really know women at all - paying attention primarily to those they find most attractive, and often projecting fantasies into them
The so-called counsellor has a derogatory view of women. Huge red flag. Don't believe the counsellor is genuinely trans. More like a cross dresser with a fetish.
Ah yes, being cat called, SA’d, having a period for the last 20 years, having fibroids, infertility, being talked down to because “girls aren’t as smart”, being taken advantage of because people think you won’t catch it, and always being told by my dad that he never wanted a daughter. Only a few of the benefits I’ve experienced of being a woman 😂
I don't think men realize how much they talk down to women. Also, when you're female not only do you get paid less (on average), but women also aren't promoted in their jobs as much as men are. Guys don't get it.
I wouldn't want a daughter either. Being a woman can be outright horrible, both because of biological factors, and due to how society tends to see women.
Same idea as a lot of tiktokers faking Tourette or other neurodivergent difficulty to be celebrated. Ultimately it will destroy, among all based people, the decency to show humanity and respect to people suffering greatly from genuine dysphoria. The more dysphoria is being played with, affirmed, celebrated wrongly, the less acceptant the future will be.
It's actually termed something now. Theres Rapid onset gender dysphoria, where these teens have never had gender durphoria all their life then all of a sudden theyre claiming to be trans. The tourettes is out of control, these girls never had any issue all their life but all of a sudden they form tourettes, it's a social contagion and it's sad, and drs should be telling these teens to knock the shit off! No syndrome, or disorder is fun to have. I also think they're doing it for clicks and likes and they want to make their careers as infuencers and not get real jobs as adults. It's all insanity. How any parent can't allow these things with their kids is beyond me.
As a biological woman, I can tell you I stand on the shoulders of all my sisters throughout history that have helped me gain the position I have which is quickly disappearing,😢 True women, love and respect each other, as well as those that respect us…
Julia frustrated me. I'm a woman and I don't go out hunting men who have lots of money just to be financially secure - that sounds like something incels say. Absolutely none of my friends in long term relationships/married picked a man for money. In some cases they actually earn more. I also don't put on a bunch of makeup every day with the goal of attracting a man. In fact, it's so rare I wear any makeup (and given my favourite choice of clothes is jeans, a tshirt and hoodie I don't go out of my way to look "girly" and attractive all the time) that if I do need some for a wedding or whatever I have to buy new stuff as the old stuff is dried up. If someone doesn't like me for who I am then that's their problem - I'm not spending loads of money and taking massive amounts of time every day just to impress a man and fit some men's stereotype of what a woman should be. The whole thing reeks of incel thoughts to me.
The stereotypes go on and on and it’s revolting. Female women have been set back 60 years in the last 5 years. They’re not moving away from stereotypes, they’re leaning into them as hard as possible. And I can’t help but notice that it’s female women experiencing the brunt of that treatment. And side note: I loved being pregnant and modern medicine makes child birth as easy as it can possibly be. My greatest accomplishment and purpose has been raising my daughter. He’s definitely not trans because he couldn’t have sounded anymore like a full blow man in that interview.
To be fair, some women do. It's not uncommon. It's not exactly classy...but not everyone is classy. If you really understand how to take advantage of womanhood and if you look fit enough, it can be very powerful. I've met some young women who "get it", and they managed to weasel their way into pretty amazing situations. High powered people, money, exclusive locations, all free, that kind of thing. I think the secret is that they figured out quite a lot about mens' feelings towards beautiful women, and were able to exploit that. They "played the role".
@@geometerfpv2804 of course it happens, but I would imagine it's not particularly common. The price is that it's essentially prostitution - those women will be expected to f those rich men they glom on to. The problem with this 'transmaxxing' is similar to a lot of transing in that it is playing up to sex stereotypes and assumptions. I saw this documentary and this man seemed a very mundane personality, essentially harmless, but the attitude really just reinforces the idea that women are dependent on men and use their sexuality to maintain men's continued goodwill🫤
@lynnm6413 exactly! If you read my reply from the previous comment it's exactly what I was saying. Dylan is so desperate to be famous and showed as much prior to that one off tiktok. It was done satirically and went viral so he continued. That sweet sweet dopamine and applause he never found singing, dancing, doing reality TV or anything else for attention...never paid off. Pretending to be a woman did so he ran with it. I personally think he is going to ride this gift as long as he can. Mark my words right here..April 23, 2024... Dylan won't detransition until the detrans folks are met with kindness, compassion and sympathy. Then he will come out saying how much respect he has for women and other trans folks and how he was scared of just being a feminine man and realized he's just a girly gay. Mark my words this is on my bingo card! But again he won't do it until being detrans won't loose him those views and clicks
I am a biological women and I can say with certainty that it is a man's world. These people are SO CONFUSED in so many ways. Anyone who thinks it's easier to be female, has never been female. You make such a good point, Alexis. If they don't pass as a woman, their life will certainly not be easier. "Julie" the trans counselor, should understand this. People are treating this as a game. So sad.
@@vamvam7690 My brother doesn't have to fear go out alone at least, not just r--e itself but even kidnappings (including human trafficking ) and having stalkers is disproportionately higher for us.
@@Ilive_420 yeh that’s true but then men are disproportionately affected by violent crime so they have to watch out for physical assault far more than women do. Like I said before, the two sexes each have their different benefits and hardships
Women’s cheaper car insurance doesn’t even happen anymore, insurance companies got told it was sex discrimination so they instead of lowering the cost of men’s rates to women’s rates they put the women’s rates up to men’s rates, mines went up the year it happened by £100 and hasn’t dropped since back to the rate it was before so he isn’t benefiting there at all 🤦♀️😂
Mine also went up by £100 last year for this reason! Yet again women are punished for men’s actions. Being a woman has so many disadvantages compared to being a man, they could have let us keep that!
Yes, here in US too. Mine went up a little bit. But a couple of years ago, my old insurance went to nearly $300 and I hadn’t been in an accident in years but the state I live in, people are horrible drivers and much was based off of that. So I switched and the company I’m with now is much cheaper.
@@ellie5447how is this women being punished for mens actions? We _were_ being insured accordingly, women at a lower rate because statistically we get into less high cost accidents so therefore our insurance was lower. Who do you think it was yelling about equality that lead to this change? It sure as hell wasn’t men! Women created this change and now we are having to pay _equally_ for it
I genuinely think there are a lot more men doing this than we are led to believe. Not entirely for personal gain, in the sense that this guy is doing it, but certainly for attention and clout online, for the ability to go into women’s spaces and sports, to be able to exercise a specific fetish out in the open. To me this is transmaxxing too.
Yea there's also a whole group of men who are using trans identities but actually have autogynophelia, which is men that get turned on viewing themselves in a woman's body, and thinking of touching themselves dressed as a woman, and having touched as a woman. It'd actually a fetsish. I agree theres alot more men who are doing this transmaxing to get the perks of being woman yet they still have beards, but wear makeup and dresses, and enter woman's spaces just because they can and then they claim that they're lesbian and still have rekations with only woman. Then you have the whole autogynophelia aspect of it. True trans people have gender dysphoria, and the very thought of being seen naked in a public place, or still being seen as a man cuases severe dysphoria, yet we have these men that are walking around in bathrooms naked, with beards, and have no gender dysphoria. Both of these groups are trans-trenders, and with the policies pushed for and now allowed, we are now seeing the rate of trans identifying people gone up exponentially! Its all insane. I want to wake up now.
f1nnster comes to mind. i fully believe he was munchausen by internet and cyber bullied into taking estrogen because he was a man who enjoys wearing makeup and womens clothing. trans activists said what he was doing was mocking and insulting them because he still identified as a man while styling himself feminine. i thought he was a bad ass for just being a guy dressing up how he wanted. he was pressured into medicalizing his fashion sense. (i'm not misgendering F1nn, he still uses any and all pronouns)
I first heard about this years ago in American prisons (no idea if it's happened in other countries). Men would say suddenly announce they identify as female and get moved to the female section. Some had committed horrible crimes against women and they still got moved. Suddenly female prisoners are being sexually assaulted and getting pregnant. 😥
A lot of trans activists have left a really bad taste in my mouth when it comes to the trans community. I'm so glad there are people like you who have a level head and aren't claiming to be trans just to get certain privileges. I respect you so much. ❤
Back in the day trans and our gay guy friends were welcomed into female spaces with open arms, but this! This trans maxing is one of the very reasons us women are concerned with the intent of people in our spaces. Btw hun you look bloody gorgeous! 💕
This is what mulvaney is doing, playing at being trans because it's getting him what he wants - fame, money, plaudits. He's utterly talentless, and I cannot WAIT for the truth to be out.
It's very problematic. This person is only taking the good things of womanhood and ignoring the struggles that women face day to day. These people are coming into our spaces for benefits it's gross. Not sure what benefits women actually has.
In the military, there are lower physical standard requirements, faster career progression through preferential course placement and promotion, all in the name of inclusion and diversity.
It is gross and I wish there wasn't a big part of young woman who have been raised in this environment so they don't think it's a big issue. But at the same time they're also told how awful men are, they're colonizers, control woman, they're toxic and get everything handed to them, beter jobs, better pay, and there's no use for men in society, yet they're claiming biological men are woman and allowing them to enter our personal spaces as a man with a penis who clearly isn't even trans but a trans-trender, and they're accepting this and allowing them to overtake woman's spaces no matter if we like it or not. So they hate men and think they're toxic and uneeded yet at the same time they allow the bio men to overtake woman and change anything they want and woman just sit back and take it with a smile claiming "they're woman!" No they're not, they're trans woman, and they're different from woman. That's okay but the denial of biological is pure insanity.
@@matthewbradley2299 I do not think any of these people are looking into military career if the leading reason is ''to make it easier'' for themselves.
Thank you for saying this. As a transsexual woman, I was shocked when I saw an article about transmaxing. These poor people believe that living as women is easier, yet they are most likely to detransition a few years later.
I did work with a gay guy who told me that he was bisexual and actually preferred women, but at 5' 3" and very slender, he just never got any interest from women. In reality, there may be some men with other mental health issues who may think that transitioning will solve their problems ....... They will come to a full stop when they realise it isn't true.
Since the whole trans debate started making waves in 2018-2019(?), I've been of the mindset that the ones that are going run away with this, causing the most problems/harm, are those men that are claiming this disorder for their own personal gain. Most especially for those sick predators out there trying to have a presumed justified excuse to be in private women's spaces. Because they want immediate, uninhibited access to women. I genuinely feel sorry and have compassion for those who have the true diagnosed disorder, such as Alexis, Blair, and Buck. This can't be an easy thing to come to terms with and how to go about your life, and I so appreciate hearing from them for their takes on these situations, as they all have displayed truth and rationality. Those that obviously DON'T actually have GD have proven to be misogynists that are the epitome of toxic masculinity and narcissism. Which is clearly demonstrated by their high aggression levels, deflection, lies, and gaslighting. There are plenty of others who have been infected with this trans mentality as a social contagion cause. Social media and twisted "influencers" make all this look cool, amazing, and fun to the point that kids will claim they are something else just to be a part of the group. They don't want to be socially isolated by their peers. In the 90's and 2000s, the D.A.R.E campaign was against peer pressure to do drugs. This is the peer pressure campaign challenge for this decade. Don't fall victim to the sirens song.
Transitioning for the perks that females receive instead of the gender you truly feel you identity with I find very problematic. As women there are reasons we have our own spaces and I guess “perks?” (I don’t like that word) because we are biologically different. Most trans women understand that because they identity as women and respect it. And as women we know it’s not always better or easier to be women financially, medically, dating etc. so I’m not sure where these thoughts are coming from. I find it very telling if you just to transition because want perks you claim women have and the society just accepts it…. Yes it is harmful to the trans community and to women as a whole…ugh… but I love how honest and open you are, you are always the voice of reason and I really appreciate your thoughts and views! Your eye lashes and hair look amazing today btw! 😊❤ ❤
@@itsacarolbthing5221involuntary celibate - they think that they deserve women’s bodies. They are usually vile towards women and think of themselves as high value males despite the fact they often still live with their mum and can barely string a sentence together when spoken to
I love how this person in the video is like "Working out and becoming more masculine is too hard," yet look at how much you have to do to transition. Transitioning seems waaaaay more involved than going to the gym more often. I dunno if you got a haircut, or are taking a break from extensions, but the length looks awesome on you! Love your videos
Totally agree with you Alexis. As usual, a thoughtful, sensible approach to what this new ‘trend’ seems to be about. Interesting there has been no mention of a certain Dylan with regard to Transmaxxing here…. Love your hair too ❤
Well I think it's hard to say Dylan is for sure doing that. I kinda think Dylan is looking for acceptance and is naturally a fem boy and so transition really isn't to far from who she really is.
@@aligracesherbalplace6159 yes, was just surprised the name hadn’t come up. There is no denying that Dylan seems to have benefitted hugely in many ways from “being a girl”, which is what the transmaxxers are said to be doing - the benefitting, I mean. I guess no-one really knows for sure what motivates someone to do anything, apart from the individual themselves, so no judgement here.
@user-rm6pq9zo4c oh I didn't take it as judgment!! And I agree Dylan does seem to be using it a lot for personal gain. There are a lott of things around them that make one wonder what the motive is.
I feel like this is coming from a place of self hatred. "I hate everything about myself, so I'm gonna change everything. Other people have a better life, and it's not fair."
As a biological woman this sends a chill down my spine. I really fear for the safety of myself and my daughter, there are bound to be transmaxers doing this to gain access to women only spaces for predatory reasons. I don't agree with everything you say Alexis, but i respect your honesty. Your vlogs are really enjoyable.
What are the perks of being a woman? I’m a woman and haven’t found what perks they are talking about. It’s ridiculous! Thank you Alexis for covering this nonsense! Cheaper car insurance? Really!?! My insurance isn’t cheaper!
As a trans woman, who experiences disphoria, worries about what might happen when I go out just being myself, fighting to get Healthcare for myself, it makes me VERY angry that people like this are basically taking the p@@@ out of both trans women and women in general. Is my life, your life if you're a biological women, joke to him? And it's definitely him in this case. This is making my blood boil!
My Gosh. I just started to transition at age 54. The hell to live with the secret of dysphoria and finding peace in transition. Why would you go through transition just because you think the grass is greener on the other side?
I absolutely believe this happens all the time. All these people saying their women without doing anything to actually transition and going full rage mode I’m a ma’am, you’re misgendering me etc.
On one hand, I can almost appreciate their honesty. At least they aren’t claiming they are actually trans and trying to take advantage, but I think that’s as much grace as I can give them for this … also not a huge fan of the daily wire, but this is Lady Ballers seem a lot less satire as far as the premise of the movie, being men, pretending to be just to benefit from the perks
ohhh this has riled me up, Transitioning is one of the hardest things i've ever done. I feel like this does nothing but put Trans people in a very bad light
Growing up as a girl means being taugt to constantly be on guard, we're so vulnerable. It's scary world for girls and women... It's insulting to say that we're living life on "easy mode", I've been harassed and assaulted by men because I'm female.
Alexis, aside from this horrendous issue which gives the trans community really bad PR... As a hairdresser, your hair looks great without the extensions. You're getting better and better at styling it. Also, when you did the pigtails/bunches the other day... Try doing it all swept around to one side, in one cute messy bun (behind your ear, down to the side of your nape)and pull out a few piecey bits around your hairline. You will be able to see part of it when looking in the mirror front on. You can add a cute diamante clip etc ... It'll look stunning on you when you're dressed up for a glam night. You're rocking your hair styling. Well done Alexis. 😁💙👍🏻
Its no wonder why us genuinely trans are getting more hate and targets we born trans we don't choose it especially for benefits if any I experienced harder been who I am meant to be totally agree with your points as a transwoman I find that person you talking about bad 🥺🤦♀️
I've wondered about that because for the longest time the argument for gay and trans rights was I can't help it or change it, I was born this way. Then along came the NB's and gender fluid who said my gender is whatever I say it is on any given day or moment in time. Then you have the neo pronouns who identify as animals, faeries, aliens, demons, clowns-whatever they dream up. Now the transmaxxers further undermine the argument of this is just who we are, we don't choose it, by not even having any dysphoria, they DO choose it. So I have to agree when they ask "who is it hurting?" , it hurts the legitimacy of the community at large in the court of public opinion.
I watched the Buck Angel video on this too and was like "I hope Alexis gets onto this one". I'm a couple days late but so glad to see you touch on this one.
Alexis, I 'm not trans, but I wanted to be. I have been dealing with dysphoria for many years now, but I manage it the best I can. I'm well into my 40's and I'm unlikely to be able to transition due to money and the fact that my friends, parents and brother would never accept it if I told them. I certainly don't feel how Sammy does! Transitioning; as you said is about aleaviating dysphoria, not gaining any "benefits".As I understand it, being a trans woman is hard, not easy. Recently I was thinking how so many other trans women youtubers have talked about how transitioning works; having to go talk to a pyschologist for a year, and having to dress as woman for a year, having to take estrogen for the rest of their lives, and getting breast implants, if fat transfer isn't an option and getting the "bottom" surgery. I wonder if I could make it as a trans woman, and I'm not sure I could. I have cross dressed in public, but I always wore a dress I bought at a Goodwill, and put make up that I bought at dollar store. It's hard to LOOK feminine! I can only imagine how it is to be a trans woman everyday and get insults and snide remarks. You said it; as a trans woman you can lose your friendships, and your relationships with your parents and any siblings. Sammy Is trying to "benefit" from transitioning because she didn't feel or look "masculine". I never felt or looked all that masculine when I was younger, but it wasn't totally about how I felt about how I looked, but identifying with women and wanting to one. It wasn't about "I'm not masculine enough to get a girlfriend, so I'll transition and try to attract guys". That thought process is very dumb and juvenile. Sammy is transitioning for the wrong reasons.
The issue with the pay disparity is... the reason woman overall get paid less than men is because we usually take 9 month minimum out of work per child we have for maternity leave. So the pay disparity would never effect these men as they see it as a benefit that they can't have children.
If this was true every woman on the planet would be transitioning to get out of planning the kids clubs and childcare! Joke (fyi)!!! Thanks for another fab video, love your take on life Alexis x
I'm so glad you covered this. I had suggested it to you a couple of times in your comments! I feel transmaxxing is really taking the P out of geuine transwomen and all transpeople, nevermind the damage to female spaces
Thank you Alexis for giving your views on trans issues. You are a lovely, genuine person. I listen and really respect your viewpoint. There are so many extreme and ridiculous ideas around these days that it can be difficult to find any common ground. I try to be fair to everyone without compromising reality and science. Btw, I have to say that your hair is beautiful without extensions.
This is just bizarre. I'm with you on this one Alexis. I so feel for genuine trans people. it must be a massive decision beyond words to transition, so for anyone to decide to transaction for all the wrong (and probably non existent) benefits - insane . Yes, the way the male/female differential in car insurance no longer exists you are right. Though that rating differential was based on actual accident statistics, it was seen to be discriminatory and outlawed a few years ago.
Living as a woman is not easy we get ignored by the doctors all the time . I was fighting for 13 years telling them i had pain and getting told its just anxiety. I finally find out its endometriosis but it was too late it destroyed my insides and i had to have a total hysterectomy at 32. My husband went to doctors said he felt under the weather and is glands were swollen and they sending him to hospital stright away for test he didnt even have to wait months for them as well. His temp was fine same with blood pressure and pulse. Turned out he was just under the weather and nothing was wrong but there reason was well hes not been in before to get checked so they just wanted to make sure . To me both genders have pros and cons but none of them are easy .
This is why gatekeeping is needed the whole arguments against trans women in women's spaces started because of people like this and agp if it was just people like alexis that just get on with it most people wouldn't care
People will turn to illegal or more unsafe methods of transitioning if the proper care is not there. Waiting lists for an intake can be years, and psychological evaluations can be incredibly invasive and extensive. There is a gatekeeping problem. But any best treatment should always be discussed between a patient and their doctor, maybe even with a second opinion. And of course a psychological evaluation sounds like a good idea, but if you are 30 years old, it doesn't do the therapist any good to know how you felt when you were 5 years old and have them tell you your entire life's story. These conversations can be a lot more directed and less time-consuming than that...
@@jeffafa3096 what I mean by gatekeeping is that this is a permanent solution to what could be a temporary problem it needs to be strict. The reasons behind it and what transition would look like and mean for an individual need to be assessed by medical professionals and therapists before even considering giving the person drugs. The waiting lists are so long because of people seeking procedures they don't need.
Hello Alexis. I am so sad for you right now. This must be heartbreaking for you. You are genuine & honest about the huge decision you felt you had to make for your true self. This person & people like them are going to make it so much harder for genuine trans women to integrate with the community as a whole the idea is appalling & untruthful. Trust me Alexis as you rightly point out it's not easy being a woman. The expectations on us are so much higher, especially these days. My heart goes out to you & all real trans women. God bless you for your very sensible & sensitive outlook on this terrible position. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿
I wholeheartedly agree. No one talks about the lasting side effects of hormone treatment, the risks of the treatment and that's why younger people think being trans is a trend, like there's a trans fairy godmother who waves a magic wand and poof you're a beautiful woman who can marry rich and be a kept wife, as all women strive to do. It's also like Alexis said about if you don't pass you will stand out even more and the perks that you think come with being a woman are really only going to be perks if you pass as a woman.
I was JUST ABOUT to comment that I love your hair that length when I heard you say other folks were saying that ....that style is lovely on you and bobs are coming back into style instead of the long, long, long run of long hair being "in".
I have a friend who lived as a woman for 6 years and had to stop his transition to save his life because the hormones almost killed him. Self medicating with hormones is dangerous and insane.
Thanks for your view. It's people like you, I fought for since childhood to be accepted and not bullied or physically attacked. And seeing your view, keeps me continuing. I struggled a lot seeing all this aggressive, delusional, activists and started to feel hate towards trans in general because of them and had to fight against that upcoming generalising feeling because I knew deep down, it's not the genuine transsexuals who feel and act this way. And this is exactly what JK Rowling meant with her first tweet. JK Rowling knows this activists protected by politics not only hurt women but also the genuine transsexuals. Same applies to Graham Linehan. Seeing the bullying, threads, cancellation, hatred towards people like these two, who just speak out the obvious facts is devastating. Also the genuine transpeople receiving hate, bullying, threats etc. For calling these activists out is absolutely disgusting and utterly concerning. I, for my part, am once more, thanks to your view, hopeful, convinced and savvy to do the right thing when standing for real trans rights, as well as homosexuals. But it needs the genuine trans community, gays, lesbians and Bis to call this inacceptable behaviour and trend out. Otherwise it could start getting back to the past when this community was chased by authorities and arrested for just feeling different. The public is already fed up with, especially because of all the bills governments passed to protect those aggressors, not much is needed anymore to get the generalised hatred back into people's heads and all the good for over decades was for nothing. It really needs the combined force of the genuine trans community, gays, lesbians, Bis, and heterosexuals to call them out and out and put an end to it. These people have utterly concerning psychological disorders that need to be treated with behavioural and other therapies. But it's not a gender related issue. By the way, your someone I would address to as she/her, woman the moment interacting with, because if you wouldn't tell me, I wouldn't know you were a man. Even after knowing, I'd keep addressing you with she/her/Ms. Woman. So that's that when it comes to pronouns. I'm sure JK Rowling would do so too. (or at least would have before she was threatened by the imposters)
It's infuriating. Like gay for pay, or girls playing lesbians for attention/pick me girl(s), or any snake really. While the rest of us who are genuine, fighting, and living our truths take the flack for all of it.
Glad you reacted to this! I watched it a few months ago and it seemed like it was being ignored by many trans or tra creators. Totally agree with your analysis Alexis!
@@regishel so AGP is defined as wanting to be female. So there is no restriction to someone with AGP having a boyfriend or girlfriend. Not sure how you came to this conclusion....
@@thornback5641 no, she‘s right. One has to first be hetero, to then switch that attraction onto his own body…due to his body not being female as he needs for his interest, ….voilà! So yeah, good point…maybe bi is a factor?
@@lynnm6413 I'm not posting the definition as YT loves to delete my comments and then put me in time out. A quick Google search proves you both wrong. Idk what else to tell you 🤷♀️.
i'm just shook, it takes us back, we as transwoman... then we wonder why people say we're just a man with boobs in a dress. i will not further comment. ridiculous.
"Stop and reverse hair loss"... Well yeah, that can be a major factor of dysphoria. Same for having a lot of body hair. And it doesn't require people to transition because things like Finasteride exist (which I'm taking myself while I'm on the waiting list btw). But I still want to start HRT properly, because transitioning is not about "having advantages", it's about "wanting to live the life that most feels like you". All of this just sounds like a weird anti-trans propaganda stunt...
With your face shape, I really like that length of hair on you. Mine honestly looks better shorter because of my face shape too, but I keep it longer for convenience. A ponytail is preferable some days because I live in TX and it’s hotter than the devils butt crack here.
First of all- your hair looks stunning! Color, styling- everything on point. 🤩 I wonder if they genuinely believe what they're saying in this "documentary". I don't want to be mean but to benefit from being a woman you need to pass as one and be conventionally attractive. Women get judged much more on looks than men. So, if he feels like he is failing as a man because he is "unmanly" I have sad news for him...he will fail as a woman as well. BTW: I don't know about women's bathrooms being cleaner. I encountered some very filthy public toilets...and the one thing I always envied men for is being able to stand while peeing. It's the worst if you had to in a dirty toilet.
I do not like being called a female bodied person! I haven't ever gone for guys that have loads of money for financial security, i am attracted to people based on their personality. I do not always wear make up or dress up. I work for my money and raised 4 boys on my own.
I love seeing how you were genuinely irritated in this video LMAO. Usually yes, you maintain such a composure and moderate tone, which is great but sometimes feels less authentic because we know... its something fundamentally bothering you. Obvs its good to not like, overtly rage but seeing you have to breathe through something that bothers you is wonderfully authentic hahaha. Love it.
I watched this documentary before hand and it really aggravated me as a Cis woman I wouldn’t be comfortable with a transmaxer in a female space and I think this makes all Trans people look bad which is further from the truth ,also as cis woman we definitely have less opportunities then men do so I will never get that they have benefits being a woman
YES! The reverse gender dysphoria is EXACTLY what I have been pointing out to people. I always thought it should be about the body. When we refer to "gender" as a concept outside of sex, we might as well be referring to gender stereotypes. How you align with those stereotypes is your "gender expression". If gender and sex are seperate, which I think they are, someone can be a feminine man and a masculine woman and NOT be trans. The difference is the dysphoria, which clinically sounds like a type of body dysmorphia. However, the clinical description, though it mentions the mismatch, doesn't specify that this dysphoria has to be dysmorphic. Due to that lack of clinical distinction, people are saying that you can be a guy that's 100% okay with your body physically but mentally feel "like a woman" and therefore transition. In reality, since he lacks the body dysmorphia, he's probably just an efiminate gay man, which is 100% okay. Look at Jeffery Star- perfect example of someone who likes woman's fashion and is 100% comfortable with the fact that he's a dude. When you put a gay man or lesbian woman on hormones, they begin to experience dysmorphia/dysphoria, and that triggers them to detransition. If you happen to catch this comment, what do you think about it?
I'm with you. I saw this the other day and wasn't sure how widespread it is, but there are tons of RUclips videos on transmaxxing. It is not easier being a woman, just different. And we have difficult things including our lack of physical strength against a man if assaulted, and there's that thing where the men only talk to each other in our presence. It's fine, I know they ones who think I should go make them a sandwich, but what a shallow view to take as justification for transitioning.
@Alexis Blake I totally agree with every single one of your statements and opinions 100% OMG! the obsticals and chalenges I for one alone have had to endure such as harrasment, asault countless and useless police reports and useless victims support
I watched this documentary a week or two ago, and after calming down from laughing myself into tears at the thought of men transitioning to the 'second' sex for the 'benefits' I honestly just ended up feeling bad for our poor, misled protagonist. I honestly think they have serious mental health issues that may or may not include gender dysphoria. I believe as a male they hated what they viewed as the male ideal of masculinity and that morphed into them hating their male form. I don't think that is rooted in gender dysphoria, but I think it is a gender issue. I think they hated the type of male they perceived themself to be and found some internet ideology that spoke to them. But I also wonder what if they really genuinely has gender dysphoria but it's easier for them to use this ridiculous ideology than explain gender dysphoria to people? What if this whole 'transmaxing' is being used as a veil to hide behind as to some it is easier to say they are doing it for 'perks' and not because of gender dysphoria? But overall it just has the reek of incel ideology behind it and personally I'd rather them dress up like girls claiming to be trans than going on killing sprees that target women.
Now I don't see why people couldn't transition just to be the best athlete in the women's section. It could benefit your life, recognition can give you fame, fame can give you sponsors and money and you could even go pro in your chosen sport. I hate that people are doing these things and making it harder for actual trans individuals like yourself and women who can lose opportunities and their safety.
An example of transmaxxing, I've heard is from a podcast called GirlDad Girls and one interview on there that stuck out like a sore thumb is Episode 12. Basically this was a father who was cross dressing at young age had no signs of gender dysphoria, but decided to come out his wife while married that he was trans and his wife was heartbroken felt she was stabbed in the heart after I was listening to the whole thing. Yes, he transition, but still has a guy voice and his kids still call him dad dad to this very day. It's truly sad in my opinion and I felt more for the wife since she was probably truly hurt and no empathy from her husband and he went into depression etc, but still has that emotional scar to this day.
Ok so 6 mins in & just had to side the video. So, I am a Biological woman (yes biological not cis) & I am absolutely just lost for words. This is honestly just diabolically wrong on so many levels. This is going to put genuine Trans people in so much danger it’s crazy. People that do this need to be charged with a crime. This needs to be stopped ASAP and made criminal. There are already so many ‘Genuine’ Trans people that deal with backlash from people who either don’t understand the Trans Community, Don’t want to understand the TC or just straight up can’t stand the TC. So now there are people like this, opening admitting they are only doing it for ‘The Perks’ it is going to put genuine Trans people in so much danger because the people who just hate the TC are going to just use this as an excuse to be able to call all Trans people they encounter fake, frauds etc etc. ugh, why do so many people have to be so selfish and entitled. I’m genuinely scared for the effect this is going to have on the actual Trans Community and actual Trans people. This is just so f***ing wrong and needs to be stopped before it gets out of hand. Seriously, is happening to this world. This is really scary because I can just see how it will get used as (a weapon) an excuse to be able to stop Trans Women from using the female spaces by saying the Trans person is not really Trans and are just pretending they are Trans so they can get in female spaces an probably get to young girls etc etc. I hope I am making sense in my comment. As I’m just really annoyed at this so not sure if I’m actually explaining myself well enough or just rambling an not making much sense lol. So I hope if you are reading this you can at least get what I am trying to say. I maybe should have waited to wrote this but just felt I wanted to write this comment now. Ok, back to Alexis now. Like I say I only got 6mins in when I started writing this. 😐 To all the genuine Trans people who may read my comment, I just want to say I’m sorry that people like the ones Alexis is showing in her video even exist as I believe this is Turing you all in more danger than you’re ready in. I know the whole world seems to be divided on one thing or another as it is. But we all need to just come together and support each other. I’ve never understood why we are all so divided anyways. We all have loved ones we care about, we all bleed blood if we get cut and we all cry tears when we are hurt or happy. We’ve let ourselves get divided and are happy to just fight amongst ourselves and I just wish we could see that we would be so much better off if we all just came together to help support one another rather than fight each other and tear each other down. Ok, ok. I’ll get off my emotional ‘Soap Box’ now an get back to watching Alexis’ video. Stay safe everyone. And I wish you all nothing but happiness and good health. 🫶🏼💖
I’ve just re-read my comment, yeah it’s not worded the best, so sorry about that. And also, there are a few words that are wrong but it’s because I use swipe to text on my phone. I can normally catch it when it puts a word I didn’t actually mean but because I was writing a, let’s call it a ‘passionate’ comment, I didn’t even check it before I posted it. I just wrote it and pressed send. lol Soo yeah, just wanted to explain why some words are wrong but I’m sure you know what the words are meant to be so you can still read it anyway.
I'm actually starting to see this more and more across all perceived discriminated classes. For example, someone I've known since we were teens has recently declared herself as autistic. This is someone who has navigated through society just fine for half a century, so even if she has some autism traits (Incidentally she has less than my family members do) they haven't affected her to such an extent that she has struggled with what society demands of us. However, she seems to believe that she can claim extra assistance (and likely extra sympathy) or at least use it as an excuse not to do anything about her own issues if she can blame someone or something else instead. I find this kind of thing abhorrent because it makes a mockery of those who are genuinely in need of this support and those genuine people don't seek to be in that position.
You’re doing a great thing! You are showing that Transgender people are just people and what we see on the media stories is not trans it is a grifter. You look like a million dollars btw, your hair is so gorgeous! ❤
Oh please, i lost everything, family, friends, work. I've been beaten, raped, shot at and homeless several times. I am constantly just working to survive.
Love your hair Alexis, the length suits you & frames your face beautifully. ❤️ Transmaxing is a huge insult to every genuine trans person, disgusting. If you don't love yourself how do you expect others to love you. If this person wanted to look manly, why didn't he do bodybuilding, grow a beard etc, don't need to transition for that.
On a side, more positive note, I love the natural hair without the extensions so much! Especially with the curls, very pretty! As always, in 100% agreement with you ❤
I get why they would do this with preferential treatment in hiring practices and all the identity politics junk, but it's more a disservice and slap in the face to people with gender dysphoria. This is why self identification is running rampant and can cause harm for those who go through proper systems with therapy. People say gatekeeping is bad, but the way I see it, it's keeping the people who actually need it safe.
Hair looks great with and without extensions. You speak great sense Alexis. TransMax is a new one on me? Never heard of it before. I do agree with your comments.
It is not like changing jobs. I would be a recipe for emotional disaster for someone who is not transgender. They, if they really exist, are not part of the trans community. This does hurt and makes our journey harder. I wish I wasn't this way, I wish I didn't have to go through all of this. It is not a joke; it is our lives. Stories like this make me sick. You did a very good job taking this apart.
My biggest coup yet and what a big investment into my future: Having surgery worth 60'000.- to save 37.- a year on car insurance, having paid a drink twice a year and randomly somebody holds the door open when I arrive😃
I just would love to see you featured in some of the big discussions out there in the media about these issues. I think it would bring such a calming and more sensitive view of all of the issues surrounding the trans community. You bring people together with sense and dignity and really if people like you could be the focal point, there would be so much more understanding and respect for the trans community in these highly contentious discussions. You're the best, and as always you look beautiful in every video.
As always alexis you give a fair take on trans trends and I think you are alowed to feel angry about this. This new trend is taking away your and other trans people's experinces. People who dont understand trans people are going to see this and its going to add more fuel to the fire. Much love to you and hope that people see this as not part of your community or use it for trans properganda ❤
it wouldn't surprise me if it's a body dysmorphia thing rather than a gender dysphoria thing, they want to have a feminine body, the transmaxxing is just their way of coming to terms with it.
Oh my word! I’m heated for you. That group giving advice to that child to lie to their parents to start but to promote illegal black market drugs That “counsellor” and I use that term loosely is atrocious for giving that advice. She seems to be very angry from what I see in that few minutes. As a woman I’m angry for you and all the genuine trans women who have gone through such a hard journey to finally be who they are for her to say the maxing is the same as what you n others went through. Because he wasn’t manly enough he wants to be female?? He needs professional counselling through his gp. 😳🤯😤😡I hope Channel 4 reach out to you Lovely. You should be the UK spokeswoman for sure . Rant over. 👏👍🏻
Hi Alexis. New to your channel and I have a lot of respect for what you are saying. These sort of people with their awful ideas will hurt our community as this sort of thing does get shown as a version of who we are. Nothing could be further from the truth.
1. Love your natural hair and think it looks good how you styled it. 2. This is what makes "cis" women mad, and honestly, more so should be. 3. Each sex has pros and cons. Pretending to be a woman for the perks denies all of the inherent struggles each woman has faced since the beginning of time. And it makes "woman" a costume. 4. You're absolutely right about loving yourself first. People can sense insecurity and desperation and negativity. So if you want a healthy, loving relationship, you need to work on yourself first. 5. People with true dysphoria should be outraged at this as well, since it's playing into the narrative that you're just playing "dress up". 6. There's a lyric in a song I like that says, "True friends will stab you in the face." Meaning, true friends will tell you the truth even if it hurts. "Support" does NOT mean always agreeing and affirming someone.
Thank you for being a truth teller. You and Liam are among the highest quality parasocial relationships I have here. Sort of how Johnny Depp has ZERO fans because he considers us his relatives, I feel that the friendship that you offer on your channel is genuine. Thanks
Honestly, seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for a "benefit", and the benefits are severely outweighed by the drawbacks as any trans person can attest to. This is likely just a justification to make transitioning easier to accept. Internalized transphobia is a hell of a thing. Ceicocat has a wonderful video discussing the "Incel to Trans Pipeline".
Wow. I hardly know where to start. At the very least, this is a great argument for keeping strict rules in place for transitioning. Alexis, as usual, is a voice of sanity on this issue.
I watched a documentary about a woman whose father tried to sell her to organ harvesters when she was a child because having a female child was considered dishonourable and a shame on the family. Blackmarket organ harvesting simply for being a girl..... So.... this person behaves with the height of privileged obliviousness...
To each thier own, but as a trans woman and a counsellor as well, I cant understand how this wouldnt CAUSE dysphoria. For such a long time, even after tramsition, I was scared to use womans spaces, so to 'transmaxx' just to get onto bathrooms I feel enforces rhe stereotype that transwomen only want to get i to bathroom and sports etc. Very confused by this, but as a counsellor, would love to talk to a transmaxxer to pick their brain to get a better understanding
Some people really do not understand women at all. I'm sure there are some women who are looking for men to take care of them financially. But, I think the majority of women work outside the home (at least in North America, where I live). Even in cases where a couple decides that one person will stay at home, likely to take care of children, there is still a shared workload. That is, there is value in the work done at home and value in the work done outside the home. Seems to me that 'transmaxxing' is thinking that 'the grass is greener on the other side of the fence'.

I watched the c4 doc and the main person lives by me. They work in a large local shop. I'm not for this. No idea why some men think being a woman is easy, try working full time while having endometriosis and the docs saying its just period pain for 8 years, whilst raising 2 kids solo. Love you and your outlook.
Don't worry, he will not experience any of that, no period, no kids.
They think it's easier and honestly being trans alone is difficult. In my humble opinion trans male to female is...idk a word for it. So people like Blaire, like Alexis true transsexuals get it. The problem here lies when they still think and have the "male mentality". As a born woman, I scan the room instinctually for exits, routy behaviors and men. Anything that can harm me without even a thought. All women do within seconds of entering any situation. Unless you have grown up this way or discover by becoming female you just don't get it! Being female is an entire way of life, mentality and vibe. You can totally see the difference between transtrenders,AGPs and true trans folks (speaking mostly on MtF)
I can't tell you how many times I've yelled at my screen, No girl!! Your man is showing! And I mean that entirely on how they act and not passability! I suppose my FtM example would be going to the gym 🏋️♂️ and bawling your eyes out at the free weights. I gaurentee the other men would be asking 1 of 2 things... either "Bro you good?" Or "you done with that?" Because again...gender isn't just genitals it's a mindspace. Trans people are trans in order to change the outside with how the inside is. Not to just wear a dress! Personally I think that alot of these tenders are incels who couldn't get laid or find any friends, so now they tack on a new identity and have a whole cult that will show them affection and confirm their delusions. I'm sad to say I believe that makes up about 80% if not more of the insane blue haired, commi leftys right now
You're a queen & we appreciate you 🫶🏾💓
Whats the show called? Im trying to find it to watch. Thanks..
@@lisadunn1138I think if you just put transmaxxing channel 4 you will find it. The transmaxxer appeared in the comments.
“Positives of being a woman: cheaper car insurance and cleaner bathrooms”
Whilst some of the negatives of being a woman: being disproportionately affected by domestic violence, r@pe, lower pay (depending where you are), being catcalled and sexualised even as a child, I could go on.
This is so incredibly fucking offensive to women and genuine trans people. I’m hoping this is a small insane minority that channel 4 have given air time to stir up controversy.
Great video and take as usual!
Channel four have a history of doing offensive videos
The second one is a bogus perk because I know a lot of women who are not clean at all.
Although there are a lot of perks to being a woman like society caring more for your emotions, easier dating options (transmaxxers think like incels tbh), way more opportunities with DEI always prefering LGBTQIA+ and women over men.
Also people generally don't view as a social threat so interacting is easier (learned this from trans friends who pass)
Woman's bathrooms are just as bad as the men's lol
I think you missed the majority of positives:
- you don't need to go to army, if war happens you don't need to go there and roulette your life on battlefront -> no you are in majority safe at home
- you can wear/do whatever the fuck you want. Wanna wear skirts? Sure knock yourself out. Want to have nice nails? no problem. If men do anything feminine, at best you get strange looks, at worst you can get death penalty in some countries. Just think how privileged you are by being allowed to do anything you want and nobody bats an eye about it!
- female privileges are real, not only those in points above, but you get much better treatment in some cases just by being feminine. Wanna try dating as a man? I dare you. There is a video of one woman, who lived as a man 18 months, got into big depression and died in 2022 with medically helped suicide. Go look it up and be amazed! Also who do you think build houses, roads, electrical grid,...? All pretty dangerous jobs, women do not need to do or be expected to do. Lower wage? Go into STEM and I assure you, that you will have nice salary as engineer. My gf has almost 6 figures. Problem is that a lot of women do not have ANY interest in working in STEM fields. Lately this is slowly changing, but still, majority of hard and dangerous low paid jobs are still done my men. You think it is fun doing low paid job at 40C degrees outside doing physical labour? Without that, you would live in cave. Also women can get sex in matter of minutes, while a lot of men goes without physical contact for years. Look up male loneliness epidemic. If you are a man with low paid job, you have 0.01% chances any woman will date you -> 99% of women do not want to date a man who earns less than them. In history those unmarried men were usually slaves or soldiers (cannon fodder). In modern world, the only thing that is changed is that they do not wear chains.
- while I agree that women are disproportionately affected by physical violence, men are mainly affected by psychological violence. Suicide rate is 4 times higher in men than in women... dare to think why? :)
You see feminists only fight for equal privileges and rights, but never for equal duties and responsibilities. I say this: "Equal rights - Equal fights".
none of which that guy would have to deal with.
That trans counselor has a very misogynistic view of "natural" women. I am a 53 year old biological woman and mother of 3 biologically male children. I have a history of PCOS, so I have weight issues, thinning hair, etc. I don't wear makeup and I dress in jeans and t-shirts. I have been married to the same man for almost 27 years. Never once did I attempt to attract a man because he was rich. I know it happens, just like there are men looking for a trophy wife. I don't think that's the norm, however, and shouldn't be someone's goal. Most of us are just doing the best we can and want to be happy and comfortable in our own skin. I think it's sad and morally wrong to encourage people, especially minors, to make permanent changes to their bodies to get some sort of perks that would be temporary at best, and as you pointed out, would ultimately cause gender dysphoria that would be harder to manage because of the permanent changes caused by the hormone replacement. You are wonderful, and entitled to your feelings and opinions, so don't apologize for them❤
That counsellor seemed like an AGP/ cross dresser type to me.
Shows how little interaction they have with real women because their idea's are based on male stereotypes.
@@Lea-bw9wj Absolutely. A lot of men don't really know women at all - paying attention primarily to those they find most attractive, and often projecting fantasies into them
@@sparagmos4748I think that works both ways round, I’m not sure women know men that well either
The so-called counsellor has a derogatory view of women. Huge red flag. Don't believe the counsellor is genuinely trans. More like a cross dresser with a fetish.
Ah yes, being cat called, SA’d, having a period for the last 20 years, having fibroids, infertility, being talked down to because “girls aren’t as smart”, being taken advantage of because people think you won’t catch it, and always being told by my dad that he never wanted a daughter. Only a few of the benefits I’ve experienced of being a woman 😂
I don't think men realize how much they talk down to women. Also, when you're female not only do you get paid less (on average), but women also aren't promoted in their jobs as much as men are. Guys don't get it.
Severe endo... multiple surgeries, estrogen blockers for 18 months before hysterectomy.
If your dad said that to you, he was a shit.
I wouldn't want a daughter either. Being a woman can be outright horrible, both because of biological factors, and due to how society tends to see women.
Being called a bitch because you advocate for yourself.
Same idea as a lot of tiktokers faking Tourette or other neurodivergent difficulty to be celebrated. Ultimately it will destroy, among all based people, the decency to show humanity and respect to people suffering greatly from genuine dysphoria. The more dysphoria is being played with, affirmed, celebrated wrongly, the less acceptant the future will be.
You referring to the Bailey girl on tik tok? I think her tourettes is fake.
Same with DID. They are all fake. I have a family that had real DID. These people are sick.
Blaire white been said!! But everybody got mad at her….
It's actually termed something now. Theres Rapid onset gender dysphoria, where these teens have never had gender durphoria all their life then all of a sudden theyre claiming to be trans. The tourettes is out of control, these girls never had any issue all their life but all of a sudden they form tourettes, it's a social contagion and it's sad, and drs should be telling these teens to knock the shit off! No syndrome, or disorder is fun to have. I also think they're doing it for clicks and likes and they want to make their careers as infuencers and not get real jobs as adults. It's all insanity. How any parent can't allow these things with their kids is beyond me.
This is spot on
As a biological woman, I can tell you I stand on the shoulders of all my sisters throughout history that have helped me gain the position I have which is quickly disappearing,😢 True women, love and respect each other, as well as those that respect us…
Julia frustrated me. I'm a woman and I don't go out hunting men who have lots of money just to be financially secure - that sounds like something incels say. Absolutely none of my friends in long term relationships/married picked a man for money. In some cases they actually earn more. I also don't put on a bunch of makeup every day with the goal of attracting a man. In fact, it's so rare I wear any makeup (and given my favourite choice of clothes is jeans, a tshirt and hoodie I don't go out of my way to look "girly" and attractive all the time) that if I do need some for a wedding or whatever I have to buy new stuff as the old stuff is dried up. If someone doesn't like me for who I am then that's their problem - I'm not spending loads of money and taking massive amounts of time every day just to impress a man and fit some men's stereotype of what a woman should be. The whole thing reeks of incel thoughts to me.
It is very incel orientated, the basis of the thinking is misogynistic. This particular bloke seems quite pleasant, but he also seems like an idiot.
The stereotypes go on and on and it’s revolting. Female women have been set back 60 years in the last 5 years. They’re not moving away from stereotypes, they’re leaning into them as hard as possible. And I can’t help but notice that it’s female women experiencing the brunt of that treatment. And side note: I loved being pregnant and modern medicine makes child birth as easy as it can possibly be. My greatest accomplishment and purpose has been raising my daughter. He’s definitely not trans because he couldn’t have sounded anymore like a full blow man in that interview.
To be fair, some women do. It's not uncommon. It's not exactly classy...but not everyone is classy. If you really understand how to take advantage of womanhood and if you look fit enough, it can be very powerful. I've met some young women who "get it", and they managed to weasel their way into pretty amazing situations. High powered people, money, exclusive locations, all free, that kind of thing. I think the secret is that they figured out quite a lot about mens' feelings towards beautiful women, and were able to exploit that. They "played the role".
@@geometerfpv2804 of course it happens, but I would imagine it's not particularly common. The price is that it's essentially prostitution - those women will be expected to f those rich men they glom on to.
The problem with this 'transmaxxing' is similar to a lot of transing in that it is playing up to sex stereotypes and assumptions.
I saw this documentary and this man seemed a very mundane personality, essentially harmless, but the attitude really just reinforces the idea that women are dependent on men and use their sexuality to maintain men's continued goodwill🫤
i thought i wrote this lmao no fugging lie, this sounds like me. i 100% agree
Sure...because women don't work and just lay around the house with our cats. Geezz
Dylan Mulvaney is basically doing transmaxxing, …and look at his music video
if it was possible to look like margot robbie it could be argued but gl if look like caitlyn jenner living as a trans person and not working
@lynnm6413 exactly! If you read my reply from the previous comment it's exactly what I was saying. Dylan is so desperate to be famous and showed as much prior to that one off tiktok. It was done satirically and went viral so he continued. That sweet sweet dopamine and applause he never found singing, dancing, doing reality TV or anything else for attention...never paid off. Pretending to be a woman did so he ran with it. I personally think he is going to ride this gift as long as he can. Mark my words right here..April 23, 2024... Dylan won't detransition until the detrans folks are met with kindness, compassion and sympathy. Then he will come out saying how much respect he has for women and other trans folks and how he was scared of just being a feminine man and realized he's just a girly gay. Mark my words this is on my bingo card! But again he won't do it until being detrans won't loose him those views and clicks
@@lynnm6413 Exactly
Great and true reply.
I am a biological women and I can say with certainty that it is a man's world. These people are SO CONFUSED in so many ways. Anyone who thinks it's easier to be female, has never been female. You make such a good point, Alexis. If they don't pass as a woman, their life will certainly not be easier. "Julie" the trans counselor, should understand this. People are treating this as a game. So sad.
I don’t think it’s necessarily easier to be a man though, the two sexes have benefits and hardships in different areas of life
@@vamvam7690 My brother doesn't have to fear go out alone at least, not just r--e itself but even kidnappings (including human trafficking ) and having stalkers is disproportionately higher for us.
@@Ilive_420 yeh that’s true but then men are disproportionately affected by violent crime so they have to watch out for physical assault far more than women do. Like I said before, the two sexes each have their different benefits and hardships
Women’s cheaper car insurance doesn’t even happen anymore, insurance companies got told it was sex discrimination so they instead of lowering the cost of men’s rates to women’s rates they put the women’s rates up to men’s rates, mines went up the year it happened by £100 and hasn’t dropped since back to the rate it was before so he isn’t benefiting there at all 🤦♀️😂
Mine also went up by £100 last year for this reason! Yet again women are punished for men’s actions. Being a woman has so many disadvantages compared to being a man, they could have let us keep that!
Yes, here in US too. Mine went up a little bit. But a couple of years ago, my old insurance went to nearly $300 and I hadn’t been in an accident in years but the state I live in, people are horrible drivers and much was based off of that. So I switched and the company I’m with now is much cheaper.
@@ellie5447how is this women being punished for mens actions? We _were_ being insured accordingly, women at a lower rate because statistically we get into less high cost accidents so therefore our insurance was lower. Who do you think it was yelling about equality that lead to this change? It sure as hell wasn’t men! Women created this change and now we are having to pay _equally_ for it
It was younger women got cheaper insurance compared to younger men, but as both got older, women’s insurance was actually more expensive than men’s
Damn, it's still this way in the states
I genuinely think there are a lot more men doing this than we are led to believe. Not entirely for personal gain, in the sense that this guy is doing it, but certainly for attention and clout online, for the ability to go into women’s spaces and sports, to be able to exercise a specific fetish out in the open. To me this is transmaxxing too.
Yea there's also a whole group of men who are using trans identities but actually have autogynophelia, which is men that get turned on viewing themselves in a woman's body, and thinking of touching themselves dressed as a woman, and having touched as a woman. It'd actually a fetsish. I agree theres alot more men who are doing this transmaxing to get the perks of being woman yet they still have beards, but wear makeup and dresses, and enter woman's spaces just because they can and then they claim that they're lesbian and still have rekations with only woman. Then you have the whole autogynophelia aspect of it. True trans people have gender dysphoria, and the very thought of being seen naked in a public place, or still being seen as a man cuases severe dysphoria, yet we have these men that are walking around in bathrooms naked, with beards, and have no gender dysphoria. Both of these groups are trans-trenders, and with the policies pushed for and now allowed, we are now seeing the rate of trans identifying people gone up exponentially! Its all insane. I want to wake up now.
f1nnster comes to mind. i fully believe he was munchausen by internet and cyber bullied into taking estrogen because he was a man who enjoys wearing makeup and womens clothing. trans activists said what he was doing was mocking and insulting them because he still identified as a man while styling himself feminine. i thought he was a bad ass for just being a guy dressing up how he wanted. he was pressured into medicalizing his fashion sense. (i'm not misgendering F1nn, he still uses any and all pronouns)
Yup.
That's how I feel about Dylan mulvaney
I first heard about this years ago in American prisons (no idea if it's happened in other countries). Men would say suddenly announce they identify as female and get moved to the female section. Some had committed horrible crimes against women and they still got moved. Suddenly female prisoners are being sexually assaulted and getting pregnant. 😥
A lot of trans activists have left a really bad taste in my mouth when it comes to the trans community. I'm so glad there are people like you who have a level head and aren't claiming to be trans just to get certain privileges. I respect you so much. ❤
Yet goes in woman spaces
Back in the day trans and our gay guy friends were welcomed into female spaces with open arms, but this! This trans maxing is one of the very reasons us women are concerned with the intent of people in our spaces. Btw hun you look bloody gorgeous! 💕
This is what mulvaney is doing, playing at being trans because it's getting him what he wants - fame, money, plaudits. He's utterly talentless, and I cannot WAIT for the truth to be out.
💯
Same for trans athletes...
"Pick up a book, man." Love you so much.
It's very problematic. This person is only taking the good things of womanhood and ignoring the struggles that women face day to day. These people are coming into our spaces for benefits it's gross. Not sure what benefits women actually has.
Well... Obviously, you silly woman, you were not paying attention. It's the clean toilets and cheaper car insurance.DUH.
@@kropka8259oh and free dinners, drinks, and more easier to find love! Insane
In the military, there are lower physical standard requirements, faster career progression through preferential course placement and promotion, all in the name of inclusion and diversity.
It is gross and I wish there wasn't a big part of young woman who have been raised in this environment so they don't think it's a big issue. But at the same time they're also told how awful men are, they're colonizers, control woman, they're toxic and get everything handed to them, beter jobs, better pay, and there's no use for men in society, yet they're claiming biological men are woman and allowing them to enter our personal spaces as a man with a penis who clearly isn't even trans but a trans-trender, and they're accepting this and allowing them to overtake woman's spaces no matter if we like it or not. So they hate men and think they're toxic and uneeded yet at the same time they allow the bio men to overtake woman and change anything they want and woman just sit back and take it with a smile claiming "they're woman!" No they're not, they're trans woman, and they're different from woman. That's okay but the denial of biological is pure insanity.
@@matthewbradley2299 I do not think any of these people are looking into military career if the leading reason is ''to make it easier'' for themselves.
Thank you for saying this. As a transsexual woman, I was shocked when I saw an article about transmaxing. These poor people believe that living as women is easier, yet they are most likely to detransition a few years later.
I did work with a gay guy who told me that he was bisexual and actually preferred women, but at 5' 3" and very slender, he just never got any interest from women. In reality, there may be some men with other mental health issues who may think that transitioning will solve their problems ....... They will come to a full stop when they realise it isn't true.
Since the whole trans debate started making waves in 2018-2019(?), I've been of the mindset that the ones that are going run away with this, causing the most problems/harm, are those men that are claiming this disorder for their own personal gain. Most especially for those sick predators out there trying to have a presumed justified excuse to be in private women's spaces. Because they want immediate, uninhibited access to women.
I genuinely feel sorry and have compassion for those who have the true diagnosed disorder, such as Alexis, Blair, and Buck. This can't be an easy thing to come to terms with and how to go about your life, and I so appreciate hearing from them for their takes on these situations, as they all have displayed truth and rationality.
Those that obviously DON'T actually have GD have proven to be misogynists that are the epitome of toxic masculinity and narcissism. Which is clearly demonstrated by their high aggression levels, deflection, lies, and gaslighting.
There are plenty of others who have been infected with this trans mentality as a social contagion cause. Social media and twisted "influencers" make all this look cool, amazing, and fun to the point that kids will claim they are something else just to be a part of the group. They don't want to be socially isolated by their peers. In the 90's and 2000s, the D.A.R.E campaign was against peer pressure to do drugs. This is the peer pressure campaign challenge for this decade. Don't fall victim to the sirens song.
Transitioning for the perks that females receive instead of the gender you truly feel you identity with I find very problematic. As women there are reasons we have our own spaces and I guess “perks?” (I don’t like that word) because we are biologically different. Most trans women understand that because they identity as women and respect it. And as women we know it’s not always better or easier to be women financially, medically, dating etc. so I’m not sure where these thoughts are coming from. I find it very telling if you just to transition because want perks you claim women have and the society just accepts it…. Yes it is harmful to the trans community and to women as a whole…ugh… but I love how honest and open you are, you are always the voice of reason and I really appreciate your thoughts and views! Your eye lashes and hair look amazing today btw! 😊❤ ❤
It worth noting that this guy identified as an incel before transitioning. And lots of incels are part of this movement.
What's an incel, please?

Totally agree with your take on this, Alexis. Your hair looks great.
I love how this person in the video is like "Working out and becoming more masculine is too hard," yet look at how much you have to do to transition. Transitioning seems waaaaay more involved than going to the gym more often.
I dunno if you got a haircut, or are taking a break from extensions, but the length looks awesome on you! Love your videos
Totally agree with you Alexis. As usual, a thoughtful, sensible approach to what this new ‘trend’ seems to be about. Interesting there has been no mention of a certain Dylan with regard to Transmaxxing here…. Love your hair too ❤
Well I think it's hard to say Dylan is for sure doing that. I kinda think Dylan is looking for acceptance and is naturally a fem boy and so transition really isn't to far from who she really is.
@@aligracesherbalplace6159 yes, was just surprised the name hadn’t come up. There is no denying that Dylan seems to have benefitted hugely in many ways from “being a girl”, which is what the transmaxxers are said to be doing - the benefitting, I mean. I guess no-one really knows for sure what motivates someone to do anything, apart from the individual themselves, so no judgement here.
@user-rm6pq9zo4c oh I didn't take it as judgment!! And I agree Dylan does seem to be using it a lot for personal gain. There are a lott of things around them that make one wonder what the motive is.
I feel like this is coming from a place of self hatred. "I hate everything about myself, so I'm gonna change everything. Other people have a better life, and it's not fair."
In Sammys case I'd swap *hatred* for *disappointment*
As a biological woman this sends a chill down my spine. I really fear for the safety of myself and my daughter, there are bound to be transmaxers doing this to gain access to women only spaces for predatory reasons.
I don't agree with everything you say Alexis, but i respect your honesty. Your vlogs are really enjoyable.
What are the perks of being a woman? I’m a woman and haven’t found what perks they are talking about. It’s ridiculous! Thank you Alexis for covering this nonsense! Cheaper car insurance? Really!?! My insurance isn’t cheaper!
You don't have to worry about your micro 🍆 or something
Be serious, each gender has its pros and cons.
@@k.d.kelley2830pros and cons? You make it sound like a job advert, or a choice!
As a trans woman, who experiences disphoria, worries about what might happen when I go out just being myself, fighting to get Healthcare for myself, it makes me VERY angry that people like this are basically taking the p@@@ out of both trans women and women in general. Is my life, your life if you're a biological women, joke to him? And it's definitely him in this case. This is making my blood boil!
To think of the long, challenging journey of true trans people like you and in any way equate that to these jokers is absurd!
My Gosh. I just started to transition at age 54. The hell to live with the secret of dysphoria and finding peace in transition. Why would you go through transition just because you think the grass is greener on the other side?
Good luck. I hope it all works out for you.
I absolutely believe this happens all the time. All these people saying their women without doing anything to actually transition and going full rage mode I’m a ma’am, you’re misgendering me etc.
On one hand, I can almost appreciate their honesty. At least they aren’t claiming they are actually trans and trying to take advantage, but I think that’s as much grace as I can give them for this … also not a huge fan of the daily wire, but this is Lady Ballers seem a lot less satire as far as the premise of the movie, being men, pretending to be just to benefit from the perks
ohhh this has riled me up, Transitioning is one of the hardest things i've ever done. I feel like this does nothing but put Trans people in a very bad light
Growing up as a girl means being taugt to constantly be on guard, we're so vulnerable. It's scary world for girls and women... It's insulting to say that we're living life on "easy mode", I've been harassed and assaulted by men because I'm female.
Alexis, aside from this horrendous issue which gives the trans community really bad PR...
As a hairdresser, your hair looks great without the extensions. You're getting better and better at styling it. Also, when you did the pigtails/bunches the other day... Try doing it all swept around to one side, in one cute messy bun (behind your ear, down to the side of your nape)and pull out a few piecey bits around your hairline. You will be able to see part of it when looking in the mirror front on. You can add a cute diamante clip etc ... It'll look stunning on you when you're dressed up for a glam night. You're rocking your hair styling. Well done Alexis. 😁💙👍🏻
Its no wonder why us genuinely trans are getting more hate and targets we born trans we don't choose it especially for benefits if any I experienced harder been who I am meant to be totally agree with your points as a transwoman I find that person you talking about bad 🥺🤦♀️
I've wondered about that because for the longest time the argument for gay and trans rights was I can't help it or change it, I was born this way. Then along came the NB's and gender fluid who said my gender is whatever I say it is on any given day or moment in time. Then you have the neo pronouns who identify as animals, faeries, aliens, demons, clowns-whatever they dream up. Now the transmaxxers further undermine the argument of this is just who we are, we don't choose it, by not even having any dysphoria, they DO choose it. So I have to agree when they ask "who is it hurting?" , it hurts the legitimacy of the community at large in the court of public opinion.
I am genuinly sorry that too many people can't discern between Individuals. You should never be punished for something that somebody else did.
I watched the Buck Angel video on this too and was like "I hope Alexis gets onto this one". I'm a couple days late but so glad to see you touch on this one.
Alexis, I 'm not trans, but I wanted to be. I have been dealing with dysphoria for many years now, but I manage it the best I can. I'm well into my 40's and I'm unlikely to be able to transition due to money and the fact that my friends, parents and brother would never accept it if I told them. I certainly don't feel how Sammy does! Transitioning; as you said is about aleaviating dysphoria, not gaining any "benefits".As I understand it, being a trans woman is hard, not easy. Recently I was thinking how so many other trans women youtubers have talked about how transitioning works; having to go talk to a pyschologist for a year, and having to dress as woman for a year, having to take estrogen for the rest of their lives, and getting breast implants, if fat transfer isn't an option and getting the "bottom" surgery.
I wonder if I could make it as a trans woman, and I'm not sure I could. I have cross dressed in public, but I always wore a dress I bought at a Goodwill, and put make up that I bought at dollar store. It's hard to LOOK feminine! I can only imagine how it is to be a trans woman everyday and get insults and snide remarks. You said it; as a trans woman you can lose your friendships, and your relationships with your parents and any siblings. Sammy Is trying to "benefit" from transitioning because she didn't feel or look "masculine". I never felt or looked all that masculine when I was younger, but it wasn't totally about how I felt about how I looked, but identifying with women and wanting to one. It wasn't about "I'm not masculine enough to get a girlfriend, so I'll transition and try to attract guys". That thought process is very dumb and juvenile. Sammy is transitioning for the wrong reasons.
The issue with the pay disparity is... the reason woman overall get paid less than men is because we usually take 9 month minimum out of work per child we have for maternity leave. So the pay disparity would never effect these men as they see it as a benefit that they can't have children.
This is my thought too? I assume they won’t have the same disparity- however stat wise, it will make it appear women’s pay is increasing?
If this was true every woman on the planet would be transitioning to get out of planning the kids clubs and childcare!
Joke (fyi)!!! Thanks for another fab video, love your take on life Alexis x
I'm so glad you covered this. I had suggested it to you a couple of times in your comments! I feel transmaxxing is really taking the P out of geuine transwomen and all transpeople, nevermind the damage to female spaces
Thank you Alexis for giving your views on trans issues. You are a lovely, genuine person. I listen and really respect your viewpoint. There are so many extreme and ridiculous ideas around these days that it can be difficult to find any common ground. I try to be fair to everyone without compromising reality and science. Btw, I have to say that your hair is beautiful without extensions.
This is just bizarre. I'm with you on this one Alexis. I so feel for genuine trans people. it must be a massive decision beyond words to transition, so for anyone to decide to transaction for all the wrong (and probably non existent) benefits - insane . Yes, the way the male/female differential in car insurance no longer exists you are right. Though that rating differential was based on actual accident statistics, it was seen to be discriminatory and outlawed a few years ago.
Living as a woman is not easy we get ignored by the doctors all the time . I was fighting for 13 years telling them i had pain and getting told its just anxiety. I finally find out its endometriosis but it was too late it destroyed my insides and i had to have a total hysterectomy at 32. My husband went to doctors said he felt under the weather and is glands were swollen and they sending him to hospital stright away for test he didnt even have to wait months for them as well. His temp was fine same with blood pressure and pulse. Turned out he was just under the weather and nothing was wrong but there reason was well hes not been in before to get checked so they just wanted to make sure . To me both genders have pros and cons but none of them are easy .
This is why gatekeeping is needed the whole arguments against trans women in women's spaces started because of people like this and agp if it was just people like alexis that just get on with it most people wouldn't care
People will turn to illegal or more unsafe methods of transitioning if the proper care is not there. Waiting lists for an intake can be years, and psychological evaluations can be incredibly invasive and extensive. There is a gatekeeping problem. But any best treatment should always be discussed between a patient and their doctor, maybe even with a second opinion. And of course a psychological evaluation sounds like a good idea, but if you are 30 years old, it doesn't do the therapist any good to know how you felt when you were 5 years old and have them tell you your entire life's story. These conversations can be a lot more directed and less time-consuming than that...
@@jeffafa3096 what I mean by gatekeeping is that this is a permanent solution to what could be a temporary problem it needs to be strict. The reasons behind it and what transition would look like and mean for an individual need to be assessed by medical professionals and therapists before even considering giving the person drugs. The waiting lists are so long because of people seeking procedures they don't need.
Hello Alexis. I am so sad for you right now. This must be heartbreaking for you. You are genuine & honest about the huge decision you felt you had to make for your true self. This person & people like them are going to make it so much harder for genuine trans women to integrate with the community as a whole the idea is appalling & untruthful. Trust me Alexis as you rightly point out it's not easy being a woman. The expectations on us are so much higher, especially these days. My heart goes out to you & all real trans women. God bless you for your very sensible & sensitive outlook on this terrible position. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿
I'm on Finasteride for hair loss. I'm a woman. We lose our hair too.
I think that Channel 4 are really irresponsible to even put this on television. So dangerous in terms of encouraging hormones without prescription.
Yes, and also, transphobes will jump on this too.
I wholeheartedly agree. No one talks about the lasting side effects of hormone treatment, the risks of the treatment and that's why younger people think being trans is a trend, like there's a trans fairy godmother who waves a magic wand and poof you're a beautiful woman who can marry rich and be a kept wife, as all women strive to do. It's also like Alexis said about if you don't pass you will stand out even more and the perks that you think come with being a woman are really only going to be perks if you pass as a woman.
People can get hormones not from doctors but it's not advisable.
I was JUST ABOUT to comment that I love your hair that length when I heard you say other folks were saying that ....that style is lovely on you and bobs are coming back into style instead of the long, long, long run of long hair being "in".
Oh my god the level of misogyny is astounding! Thank you for being a voice of reason Alexis
I have a friend who lived as a woman for 6 years and had to stop his transition to save his life because the hormones almost killed him. Self medicating with hormones is dangerous and insane.
Thanks for your view. It's people like you, I fought for since childhood to be accepted and not bullied or physically attacked. And seeing your view, keeps me continuing. I struggled a lot seeing all this aggressive, delusional, activists and started to feel hate towards trans in general because of them and had to fight against that upcoming generalising feeling because I knew deep down, it's not the genuine transsexuals who feel and act this way. And this is exactly what JK Rowling meant with her first tweet. JK Rowling knows this activists protected by politics not only hurt women but also the genuine transsexuals. Same applies to Graham Linehan. Seeing the bullying, threads, cancellation, hatred towards people like these two, who just speak out the obvious facts is devastating. Also the genuine transpeople receiving hate, bullying, threats etc. For calling these activists out is absolutely disgusting and utterly concerning. I, for my part, am once more, thanks to your view, hopeful, convinced and savvy to do the right thing when standing for real trans rights, as well as homosexuals. But it needs the genuine trans community, gays, lesbians and Bis to call this inacceptable behaviour and trend out. Otherwise it could start getting back to the past when this community was chased by authorities and arrested for just feeling different. The public is already fed up with, especially because of all the bills governments passed to protect those aggressors, not much is needed anymore to get the generalised hatred back into people's heads and all the good for over decades was for nothing. It really needs the combined force of the genuine trans community, gays, lesbians, Bis, and heterosexuals to call them out and out and put an end to it. These people have utterly concerning psychological disorders that need to be treated with behavioural and other therapies. But it's not a gender related issue. By the way, your someone I would address to as she/her, woman the moment interacting with, because if you wouldn't tell me, I wouldn't know you were a man. Even after knowing, I'd keep addressing you with she/her/Ms. Woman. So that's that when it comes to pronouns. I'm sure JK Rowling would do so too. (or at least would have before she was threatened by the imposters)
It's infuriating. Like gay for pay, or girls playing lesbians for attention/pick me girl(s), or any snake really. While the rest of us who are genuine, fighting, and living our truths take the flack for all of it.
Your makeup looks so good in this video. I love the combo with the eye and the lip. Very subtle but very beautiful
Glad you reacted to this! I watched it a few months ago and it seemed like it was being ignored by many trans or tra creators. Totally agree with your analysis Alexis!
Sounds like the AGP Trans found a new term for themselves like Nambla rebranded themselves as MAP.
Exactly, they are lying because they know a pa ra phil ia like auto gyn3 phil ia will not be accepted once people get clued in
No, Pretty sure the transmaxxer in the video was asked about his boyfriend, so they can't have AGF.
@@regishel so AGP is defined as wanting to be female. So there is no restriction to someone with AGP having a boyfriend or girlfriend. Not sure how you came to this conclusion....
@@thornback5641 no, she‘s right.

@@lynnm6413 I'm not posting the definition as YT loves to delete my comments and then put me in time out. A quick Google search proves you both wrong. Idk what else to tell you 🤷♀️.
i'm just shook, it takes us back, we as transwoman... then we wonder why people say we're just a man with boobs in a dress. i will not further comment. ridiculous.
"Stop and reverse hair loss"... Well yeah, that can be a major factor of dysphoria. Same for having a lot of body hair. And it doesn't require people to transition because things like Finasteride exist (which I'm taking myself while I'm on the waiting list btw). But I still want to start HRT properly, because transitioning is not about "having advantages", it's about "wanting to live the life that most feels like you". All of this just sounds like a weird anti-trans propaganda stunt...
With your face shape, I really like that length of hair on you. Mine honestly looks better shorter because of my face shape too, but I keep it longer for convenience. A ponytail is preferable some days because I live in TX and it’s hotter than the devils butt crack here.
First of all- your hair looks stunning! Color, styling- everything on point. 🤩
I wonder if they genuinely believe what they're saying in this "documentary". I don't want to be mean but to benefit from being a woman you need to pass as one and be conventionally attractive. Women get judged much more on looks than men. So, if he feels like he is failing as a man because he is "unmanly" I have sad news for him...he will fail as a woman as well.
BTW: I don't know about women's bathrooms being cleaner. I encountered some very filthy public toilets...and the one thing I always envied men for is being able to stand while peeing. It's the worst if you had to in a dirty toilet.
I do not like being called a female bodied person! I haven't ever gone for guys that have loads of money for financial security, i am attracted to people based on their personality. I do not always wear make up or dress up. I work for my money and raised 4 boys on my own.
I love seeing how you were genuinely irritated in this video LMAO. Usually yes, you maintain such a composure and moderate tone, which is great but sometimes feels less authentic because we know... its something fundamentally bothering you. Obvs its good to not like, overtly rage but seeing you have to breathe through something that bothers you is wonderfully authentic hahaha. Love it.
I watched this documentary before hand and it really aggravated me as a Cis woman I wouldn’t be comfortable with a transmaxer in a female space and I think this makes all Trans people look bad which is further from the truth ,also as cis woman we definitely have less opportunities then men do so I will never get that they have benefits being a woman
YES! The reverse gender dysphoria is EXACTLY what I have been pointing out to people. I always thought it should be about the body. When we refer to "gender" as a concept outside of sex, we might as well be referring to gender stereotypes. How you align with those stereotypes is your "gender expression". If gender and sex are seperate, which I think they are, someone can be a feminine man and a masculine woman and NOT be trans. The difference is the dysphoria, which clinically sounds like a type of body dysmorphia. However, the clinical description, though it mentions the mismatch, doesn't specify that this dysphoria has to be dysmorphic. Due to that lack of clinical distinction, people are saying that you can be a guy that's 100% okay with your body physically but mentally feel "like a woman" and therefore transition. In reality, since he lacks the body dysmorphia, he's probably just an efiminate gay man, which is 100% okay. Look at Jeffery Star- perfect example of someone who likes woman's fashion and is 100% comfortable with the fact that he's a dude. When you put a gay man or lesbian woman on hormones, they begin to experience dysmorphia/dysphoria, and that triggers them to detransition.
If you happen to catch this comment, what do you think about it?
I'm with you. I saw this the other day and wasn't sure how widespread it is, but there are tons of RUclips videos on transmaxxing. It is not easier being a woman, just different. And we have difficult things including our lack of physical strength against a man if assaulted, and there's that thing where the men only talk to each other in our presence. It's fine, I know they ones who think I should go make them a sandwich, but what a shallow view to take as justification for transitioning.
@Alexis Blake
I totally agree with every single one of your statements and opinions 100%
OMG! the obsticals and chalenges I for one alone have had to endure such as harrasment, asault countless and useless police reports and useless victims support
I watched this documentary a week or two ago, and after calming down from laughing myself into tears at the thought of men transitioning to the 'second' sex for the 'benefits' I honestly just ended up feeling bad for our poor, misled protagonist. I honestly think they have serious mental health issues that may or may not include gender dysphoria. I believe as a male they hated what they viewed as the male ideal of masculinity and that morphed into them hating their male form. I don't think that is rooted in gender dysphoria, but I think it is a gender issue. I think they hated the type of male they perceived themself to be and found some internet ideology that spoke to them. But I also wonder what if they really genuinely has gender dysphoria but it's easier for them to use this ridiculous ideology than explain gender dysphoria to people? What if this whole 'transmaxing' is being used as a veil to hide behind as to some it is easier to say they are doing it for 'perks' and not because of gender dysphoria? But overall it just has the reek of incel ideology behind it and personally I'd rather them dress up like girls claiming to be trans than going on killing sprees that target women.
Incredible conceptualization of what’s going on w this person
Now I don't see why people couldn't transition just to be the best athlete in the women's section. It could benefit your life, recognition can give you fame, fame can give you sponsors and money and you could even go pro in your chosen sport.
I hate that people are doing these things and making it harder for actual trans individuals like yourself and women who can lose opportunities and their safety.
An example of transmaxxing, I've heard is from a podcast called GirlDad Girls and one interview on there that stuck out like a sore thumb is Episode 12. Basically this was a father who was cross dressing at young age had no signs of gender dysphoria, but decided to come out his wife while married that he was trans and his wife was heartbroken felt she was stabbed in the heart after I was listening to the whole thing. Yes, he transition, but still has a guy voice and his kids still call him dad dad to this very day. It's truly sad in my opinion and I felt more for the wife since she was probably truly hurt and no empathy from her husband and he went into depression etc, but still has that emotional scar to this day.
Ok so 6 mins in & just had to side the video.
So, I am a Biological woman (yes biological not cis) & I am absolutely just lost for words.
This is honestly just diabolically wrong on so many levels. This is going to put genuine Trans people in so much danger it’s crazy.
People that do this need to be charged with a crime. This needs to be stopped ASAP and made criminal.
There are already so many ‘Genuine’ Trans people that deal with backlash from people who either don’t understand the Trans Community, Don’t want to understand the TC or just straight up can’t stand the TC.
So now there are people like this, opening admitting they are only doing it for ‘The Perks’ it is going to put genuine Trans people in so much danger because the people who just hate the TC are going to just use this as an excuse to be able to call all Trans people they encounter fake, frauds etc etc.
ugh, why do so many people have to be so selfish and entitled. I’m genuinely scared for the effect this is going to have on the actual Trans Community and actual Trans people.
This is just so f***ing wrong and needs to be stopped before it gets out of hand.
Seriously, is happening to this world.
This is really scary because I can just see how it will get used as (a weapon) an excuse to be able to stop Trans Women from using the female spaces by saying the Trans person is not really Trans and are just pretending they are Trans so they can get in female spaces an probably get to young girls etc etc.
I hope I am making sense in my comment. As I’m just really annoyed at this so not sure if I’m actually explaining myself well enough or just rambling an not making much sense lol. So I hope if you are reading this you can at least get what I am trying to say.
I maybe should have waited to wrote this but just felt I wanted to write this comment now.
Ok, back to Alexis now. Like I say I only got 6mins in when I started writing this. 😐
To all the genuine Trans people who may read my comment, I just want to say I’m sorry that people like the ones Alexis is showing in her video even exist as I believe this is Turing you all in more danger than you’re ready in.
I know the whole world seems to be divided on one thing or another as it is. But we all need to just come together and support each other.
I’ve never understood why we are all so divided anyways. We all have loved ones we care about, we all bleed blood if we get cut and we all cry tears when we are hurt or happy.
We’ve let ourselves get divided and are happy to just fight amongst ourselves and I just wish we could see that we would be so much better off if we all just came together to help support one another rather than fight each other and tear each other down.
Ok, ok. I’ll get off my emotional ‘Soap Box’ now an get back to watching Alexis’ video.
Stay safe everyone. And I wish you all nothing but happiness and good health. 🫶🏼💖
I’ve just re-read my comment, yeah it’s not worded the best, so sorry about that. And also, there are a few words that are wrong but it’s because I use swipe to text on my phone. I can normally catch it when it puts a word I didn’t actually mean but because I was writing a, let’s call it a ‘passionate’ comment, I didn’t even check it before I posted it. I just wrote it and pressed send. lol
Soo yeah, just wanted to explain why some words are wrong but I’m sure you know what the words are meant to be so you can still read it anyway.
I'm actually starting to see this more and more across all perceived discriminated classes. For example, someone I've known since we were teens has recently declared herself as autistic. This is someone who has navigated through society just fine for half a century, so even if she has some autism traits (Incidentally she has less than my family members do) they haven't affected her to such an extent that she has struggled with what society demands of us. However, she seems to believe that she can claim extra assistance (and likely extra sympathy) or at least use it as an excuse not to do anything about her own issues if she can blame someone or something else instead.
I find this kind of thing abhorrent because it makes a mockery of those who are genuinely in need of this support and those genuine people don't seek to be in that position.
You’re doing a great thing! You are showing that Transgender people are just people and what we see on the media stories is not trans it is a grifter. You look like a million dollars btw, your hair is so gorgeous! ❤
Your natural hair is beautiful! I like the poodle hairstyle ❤
I love how honest and genuine you are. You’re the T I can relate to in our community not the other nutters in it for whatever this guy is doing
Oh please, i lost everything, family, friends, work. I've been beaten, raped, shot at and homeless several times. I am constantly just working to survive.
Same,I feel that sometimes I'm in survival mode
Love your hair Alexis, the length suits you & frames your face beautifully. ❤️ Transmaxing is a huge insult to every genuine trans person, disgusting. If you don't love yourself how do you expect others to love you. If this person wanted to look manly, why didn't he do bodybuilding, grow a beard etc, don't need to transition for that.
On a side, more positive note, I love the natural hair without the extensions so much! Especially with the curls, very pretty!
As always, in 100% agreement with you ❤
Thank you so much for speaking out about this Alexis, for those of us who are voiceless, keep up the amazing work!
What perks? Nobody told me there were perks. I want my perks!
I get why they would do this with preferential treatment in hiring practices and all the identity politics junk, but it's more a disservice and slap in the face to people with gender dysphoria. This is why self identification is running rampant and can cause harm for those who go through proper systems with therapy. People say gatekeeping is bad, but the way I see it, it's keeping the people who actually need it safe.
Hair looks great with and without extensions. You speak great sense Alexis.
TransMax is a new one on me? Never heard of it before. I do agree with your comments.
It is not like changing jobs. I would be a recipe for emotional disaster for someone who is not transgender. They, if they really exist, are not part of the trans community. This does hurt and makes our journey harder. I wish I wasn't this way, I wish I didn't have to go through all of this. It is not a joke; it is our lives. Stories like this make me sick. You did a very good job taking this apart.
My biggest coup yet and what a big investment into my future: Having surgery worth 60'000.- to save 37.- a year on car insurance, having paid a drink twice a year and randomly somebody holds the door open when I arrive😃
'who are you hurting?'..........erm.......EVERYONE!
Julia is part of he problem.
I just would love to see you featured in some of the big discussions out there in the media about these issues. I think it would bring such a calming and more sensitive view of all of the issues surrounding the trans community. You bring people together with sense and dignity and really if people like you could be the focal point, there would be so much more understanding and respect for the trans community in these highly contentious discussions. You're the best, and as always you look beautiful in every video.
This is a great example of why there’s so much hate towards the trans community,
It’s really upsetting to hear these people and their reasons
As always alexis you give a fair take on trans trends and I think you are alowed to feel angry about this. This new trend is taking away your and other trans people's experinces. People who dont understand trans people are going to see this and its going to add more fuel to the fire. Much love to you and hope that people see this as not part of your community or use it for trans properganda ❤
it wouldn't surprise me if it's a body dysmorphia thing rather than a gender dysphoria thing, they want to have a feminine body, the transmaxxing is just their way of coming to terms with it.
Oh my word! I’m heated for you. That group giving advice to that child to lie to their parents to start but to promote illegal black market drugs That “counsellor” and I use that term loosely is atrocious for giving that advice. She seems to be very angry from what I see in that few minutes. As a woman I’m angry for you and all the genuine trans women who have gone through such a hard journey to finally be who they are for her to say the maxing is the same as what you n others went through. Because he wasn’t manly enough he wants to be female?? He needs professional counselling through his gp. 😳🤯😤😡I hope Channel 4 reach out to you Lovely. You should be the UK spokeswoman for sure . Rant over. 👏👍🏻
Hi Alexis. New to your channel and I have a lot of respect for what you are saying. These sort of people with their awful ideas will hurt our community as this sort of thing does get shown as a version of who we are. Nothing could be further from the truth.
1. Love your natural hair and think it looks good how you styled it. 2. This is what makes "cis" women mad, and honestly, more so should be. 3. Each sex has pros and cons. Pretending to be a woman for the perks denies all of the inherent struggles each woman has faced since the beginning of time. And it makes "woman" a costume. 4. You're absolutely right about loving yourself first. People can sense insecurity and desperation and negativity. So if you want a healthy, loving relationship, you need to work on yourself first. 5. People with true dysphoria should be outraged at this as well, since it's playing into the narrative that you're just playing "dress up". 6. There's a lyric in a song I like that says, "True friends will stab you in the face." Meaning, true friends will tell you the truth even if it hurts. "Support" does NOT mean always agreeing and affirming someone.
Thank you for being a truth teller. You and Liam are among the highest quality parasocial relationships I have here.
Sort of how Johnny Depp has ZERO fans because he considers us his relatives, I feel that the friendship that you offer on your channel is genuine. Thanks
Your hair looks STUNNING 😍 ❤
Honestly, seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for a "benefit", and the benefits are severely outweighed by the drawbacks as any trans person can attest to. This is likely just a justification to make transitioning easier to accept. Internalized transphobia is a hell of a thing. Ceicocat has a wonderful video discussing the "Incel to Trans Pipeline".
As always, you are the voice of reason. Love your hair without the extention. It looks even more naturally beautiful.
Wow. I hardly know where to start. At the very least, this is a great argument for keeping strict rules in place for transitioning. Alexis, as usual, is a voice of sanity on this issue.
I watched a documentary about a woman whose father tried to sell her to organ harvesters when she was a child because having a female child was considered dishonourable and a shame on the family. Blackmarket organ harvesting simply for being a girl..... So.... this person behaves with the height of privileged obliviousness...
To each thier own, but as a trans woman and a counsellor as well, I cant understand how this wouldnt CAUSE dysphoria. For such a long time, even after tramsition, I was scared to use womans spaces, so to 'transmaxx' just to get onto bathrooms I feel enforces rhe stereotype that transwomen only want to get i to bathroom and sports etc. Very confused by this, but as a counsellor, would love to talk to a transmaxxer to pick their brain to get a better understanding
Some people really do not understand women at all. I'm sure there are some women who are looking for men to take care of them financially. But, I think the majority of women work outside the home (at least in North America, where I live). Even in cases where a couple decides that one person will stay at home, likely to take care of children, there is still a shared workload. That is, there is value in the work done at home and value in the work done outside the home. Seems to me that 'transmaxxing' is thinking that 'the grass is greener on the other side of the fence'.
You made a fantastic point about the treatment transmaxxers may receive if they can't pass.
