I hope you’re doing well out there. I know a lot is going on, especially right now, and I really hope you are safe and happy, but just remember: no matter what it is, you have the strength to get through it. I believe in you. You’ve got this. 💜
My brother nearly died of Pulmonary hypertension. He's alive because of the efforts of that trans woman from the Ted Talk and the life-saving, affordable treatments she created.
“Nice name, did your MOM pick it out for you?” Me, a trans guy who took the name my parents would’ve given me at birth if I was AMAB: “well no but actually yes.”
@@ilaya4183 means assigned male at birth/being born into a male body what the commenter is saying is that his parents were making names incase if the babies would've been born male, and then his mom made a male name and he ended up choosing that male name instead of picking out a name himself.
@@sleeeepyy_ LMAOOO my second name could've been Jade but instead made it Jaden and my first name came from a horror movie called quarantine (ironic) and was named after a kid named Briana. My name is Brianna
My favorite trans god is Loki of the Nordic legends, who became a female horse, seduced a male horse so he would win a bet, and had a child with said horse who addressees Loki as,"mom".
“if you’re transitioning prepare to be the ugliest woman alive” ...i dont know... the woman who said there was no downside to being tall was pretty hot
Can we appreciate that Nintendo made a LGBTQ+ character before it was "a trend" with a lot of companies and they weren't just LGBTQ+ for a month. Also the character I spoke about was Isabelle she is Bisexual confirmed by Nintendo her first appearance was 'Animal Crossing: New Leaf' and after a while she gained a crush on the mayor player no matter if they chose if they were male or female at the beginning. This, this is why I really like Nintendo.
Plus the random trans trainer in Pokémon x/y (she talks about having been a "karate king" half a year ago, followed by "isn't medical science amazing!")
One of my trans friends did use the name her mom picked because her mom was so sure she was going to have a girl when she was pregnant that she had the name picked out. Turns out she was right, but it took nearly 30 years to realize it.
My mom lived in New Mexico when she was pregnant with me, in a checkerboard native reservation. The entire time she lived there, there was an old Navajo woman who absolutely swore she was going to have a daughter with beautiful blue eyes. That woman turned out to be right, it just took 16 years to realize it.
I've had a similar experiences to the cousin story. My moms a teacher and I randomly ran into one of the only students of hers I actually know, she kinda recognized me and after finding out who my mom is exclaimed "oh! Yes, I think I know you little sister!" 😐 "yah your probably thinking of me as I don't have a little sister" I said. The look on her face was priceless I tell you! The pure confusion!
"Never name your pet something you'd feel really awkward screaming at a park if it ever runs away." . . . Look- my dog was named Corona back in 2014, aight? At least with living on a farm we don't have much of a need to go out on walks to the park, LMAO
Plus the fact that Muk and Grimer are just piles of toxic sludge, Geodude is a rock with arms, Voltorb and Electrode are Pokeballs, and Digglets and Magnamites just combine with others to evolve.
The last post really does encapsulate what it’s like to be trans. I’m a trans woman who is also left-handed, and I understood EXACTLY what the artist meant. Also have a genderfluid friend who’s also ambidextrous, and they also get it. Kinda upset I didn’t come up with it to be honest, lol
Mine too! The bathrooms are sorted by class, so theres bathroom A (for classrooms that end with A example: 5A 6A) Bathroom B, Bathroom C, and Bathroom D
... To be honest, I don't think that trans people should be treated based on an outdated book written long long ago that says slavery is ok and stoning children to death is ok. Everyone should be accepted regardless of what some God says ❤
@@jasminevilliers9578 lol that is untrue, I would never say horrible things to anyone, especially since I'm a bisexual christian. It's true that god is friends with many lgbt people, its not a "excuse".
When it comes to sports, just split everyone by some measurable factor, like arm/leg diameters or something. Then give each "class" a dorky name like the do in fighting sports. That way everyone is on equal footing.
@@Thewaterspirit57 ooh I’ve always dreamed of making dragons and unicorns a real thing. Wyverns would be easier. I think a bird could probably be reverse engineered into one.
FUN FACT: Samus Aran is trans. Hirofumi Matsuoka, who helped work on the original design for Samus Aran, called her a "ニューハーフ" or "newhalf", which is early Japanese 90s slang for "trans woman". The term also implies that she did not have bottom surgery. In Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Other M, and official manga, younger Samus is depicted as a little girl, which would mean that her transition must have come early in her life so her height has nothing to do with her being trans. Also, just look at how Samus reacted to being called a lady in Metroid Other M!
Actually, one of my dogs is called "Little Sh*t" except it's in French (merdouille) which isn't a commonly spoken language where I live. And shouting it outside Feels *GREAT*
Fun fact: In Turkish, there are no he/him, she/her, it/its, they/their pronouns. There is only one pronoun that works for anyone and anything, o/ onun.
Fun fact, in the Philippines, there are no pronouns either, it makes it easier to sing love songs to any gender, Tagalog ones tho. I don't know any Filipino made English songs about gay love
In China(or rather, the Chinese language) even though we have different ways to write our genders (他for boy or just any gender(this is what wiki said lol), 她for girl) it is all pronounced in the same way(tā) It is so cool, love songs can be sang to any gender without it feeling weird, people who have changed their gender doesn't particularly have to tell a person they don't wanna tell to their pronouns (like teachers, or strangers, or homophobic parents). Sure, it'll still feel kinda off, since you know they think your pronouns are this rather than that, but still, it's better than English **rolls eyes** It has its little flaws tho, like when you are writing to a girl and autocorrect thinks she's a boy (because our keyboard uses 拼音，which is the pronunciation of the word). But honestly this is little to nothing compared to what you can get and also you can fix it by just using the writing pad in your phones So all in all, very glad to have this language in my life lmao
Someone asked me, “Would you leave your girlfriend for cheesy garlic bread?” And I said, “No. I am going to be in a polyamorous relationship with her and garlic bread.”
FUCKING YES Love you, so damn proud of you for being strong and brave and I wish you all the absolute best in your transition, whether social, medical or surgical, at whatever time, to whatever extent you choose. And may your enemies eternally stub their toes on cold metal.
@@septicemicsacrament4696 ok, new headcanon, his grandson is actually trans and is trying to teach him stuff. Him being a great person and also wanting to know for scientific purposes tries is best but It's a bit hard for him
@@mimikyulover3411 So, fun fact. The first Pokémon professor to ask the gender question was the one who canonically researches genders and breeding- Gen 1 had no genders, Leaf wasn't an option until the remakes.
Me: Hey mom I think I am non-binary My mom, not realizing what she’s saying: no matter what you identify as, you’ll always be *my daughter* Love her to bits and I completely understand that she didn’t mean to, but it was hilarious and hurt all at the same time
I remember me and a friend explaining the term “cis” to a friend and then just in the middle of an explanation I shouted “THEY GOT THEIR GENDER FROM THEIR MOOOOOOOMMM” and we wouldn’t stop joking about that for a week Good times
"There's a pokemon that's a trash bag?!" There's a pokemon that's a sludge pile. "There's a pokemon that's a candle?!" There's a pokemon that's a ball. "there's a pokemon that's a cupcake?!" There's a pokemon that's a seal, called Seel.
@@novaava Seriously. I personally think the inanimate object pokemon are great and really creative. The way they convey a concept in an appealing way using such basic shapes and colors is nothing short of genius. People don't know how just much expertise you require for a good pokemon design
As a left hander who grew up in the deep south in the 80's, I relate to that last part hard. I was called "Demon Child" and "Wrong" and "Evil" by my family and teachers, bullied relentlessly throughout school because I 'refused to conform to the way normal people did things'. I still have a tiny panic attack when I need to write something down in public because of that.
My brother is left-handed, and I was born ambidextrous. I was "corrected" (read: physically & verbally abused) into only using my right hand for everything. Now I can no longer write or draw with my left.
So my dad was left-handed as a child, and he had his hands beaten unto submission until he learned to use his right hand. Because of conditioning, he wrote primarily with his right hand, but he was actually ambidextrous. My point being: the fact that he was beaten into becoming right-handed did not erase his true nature as a left-handed person... Which just made me realize that my dad, although being an African man with very conservative upbringing, would probably be OK with my being bisexual if he was alive to see me right now... Wow
I had a ferret named Marco that ran away and I was crying yelling "MARCO" and I bet it looked like the weirdest game of Marco pollo ever (we found him)
My friends and i were talking about virginity and they said "Sorry you dont have to lose it as soon as possible and you can wait till youre ready" and i just went "Im an ACE at keeping it" forming an A with my hands!!. Lmao
I was a math tutor in college. One woman sat with me to go over her homework. She was self-conscious of her age and told me she feared school. She was beaten for using her left hand as a kid. As a left-handed person myself, I told her times have changed. You don't have to be scared. She said,"I know, but I still am." Her boss was paying for her education. She grew more confident each time I saw her. She would hunt me down so we could celebrate her victories together. She deserves the world.
I am a 56yo, gay, left-handed man who came out some 30 years ago and your last post from Trans Diaries has done more for my understanding of what trans people go through on a daily basis than any other article, chat, book or face to face conversation I've ever had! I've always obviously been a trans ally. But I've just never been given this perspective. Although my bullying as a lefthander could never compare to that of a trans person in a hostile environment, the comparison expands my empathy a hundred fold. Talk about walking in another soul's shoes? Thank you so much for sharing this OT. Just one more reason I love your channel!
I was born left-handed. I am now for the most part ambidextrous, except that I can't use either hand all that well. I grew up in a school that had a lot of teachers who thought left-handedness was "of the devil" and would punish any kids caught using their left hand as their dominant hand. They screwed me over. If I could remember their names, I would be tempted to hunt them down and hit them with a yardstick until the cops show up.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja I was lucky to have a left-handed mom and a secular education. Kids would tease me a lot. But nothing horrible and no corporal punishment. I did have a friend's dad tell me once that Lucifer was left-handed. But I didn't take it to heart and my mom told him to "Go to hell!" on my behalf! She was always in my corner. Hell, when I came out she was so determined to read and learn all she could that she'd read milk cartons because they said "homo" on the side!
@@josephstout1461 Times have changed a lot in my area since I was a kid. When I was a kid, no kids were openly gay. It just didn't happen because if they were, the bullies would beat the crap out of them every day and make their lives a living hell. The teachers, of course, would look the other way. This was a public school. Now days, there are very few people who will harass you for being openly gay. Some people may mutter to themselves about this or that, but they tend to not bother the openly gay person. The few who do tend to get harassed by witnesses for being homophobic lol. I don't really know what I am when it comes to sexuality and gender. I have only recently begun shedding the years of programming in an effort to heal. I know you have probably encountered quite a bit of abuse over your lifetime as well. The world isn't great, but it is better than it was even twenty years ago.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja I have to say, I have been incredibly lucky. I came out at 18, on October 12th, 1982. Before it was even National Coming out day. I have experienced very little direct harassment. I am only 5'1" and learned early on to make friends with the biggest person in the room first. So most bullies would think twice. Most of my adult life has been spent in and around the gay community. Fairly insular if you think about it. I wasn't exactly in a bubble because I worked in the straight world, a restaurant. But most of my free time and most of my income was spent in and on the gay community. I guess that was maybe a subconscious way of protecting myself. Things were different back in the '80s and '90s. Now you see gay flags hanging on houses out in the county. 30 years ago no one, including myself, would have had the balls to do that!
Hello! I am the creator of TransDiaries, I’m so happy you liked my post! This makes me so happy to read!! I was inspired to make this post because of an explanation that I saw on r/transhelp and I thought of converting it into a post! Stay strong and stay safe! :D
My Dad called me by my preferred name for the first time yesterday! Thank you so much for giving me the courage to come out, OT. For all of my trans brothers and sisters and siblings out there, it does get better. Stay strong!!!
i feel so sneaky when my trans friend is in the closet from her family, like when we used to hang out (we're still bffs but quarentine) we did all kinds of gay girl stuff behind their back, i feel like im that guy in old movies that secretly took the girl out of the house through the window to go on dates, but instead of dates we go to the shop look at dresses, we're brazilian btw, sadly brazil is one of the harshest places to be LGBT+, but im not gonna be intimidated by that PAN AND TRANS DUO YEAH!
hi! i just wanted to say 1. thank you for putting the memes in little boxes to the side of the screen so we can screenshot them- half my camera roll is just screenshots of the memes you react to lol. and 2. ik you tend to downplay the affect you have on others bc you say you're just showin memes and laughing, but as someone who is slowly crawling out of an extremely persistent depressive state- your little giggles and spouts of inspiration and overall positivity have done so much for my mental health. don't think you're just laughing and being goofy because you're also spreading hope and faith that there are good people out there. my entire life i've been surrounded by people who don't believe in me or see my worth and it shouldn't be like that, ofc, but that's how it is rn and how it always has been and its been extremely isolating. its difficult to believe there are better people and a better life out there when you've only ever experienced the sh1tty ones. having the experience of getting to know you piece by piece in your videos, even if its just through a screen, has broadened my perspective and that little box i've been trapped in my whole life. and no you're not the only youtuber or influencer out there who's smiley or positive, but you have had an extremely substantial role in picking me up and out of a really dark place. so thank you so so much for that and for putting so much of yourself into trying to help others. know that it's working and we are so grateful for you. you are loved and greatly appreciated
And its evolution which hangs around (pun unintended) hospitals and eats the souls of the people who die there. Honestly, can't blame 'em for wanting fresh stock.
Hi everyone, hope your day has been good so far. If not, I'm sorry to hear that, I hope it'll get better! Remember that you *are* valid, loved and worthy, and if your situation isn't great right now please know that it *will* get better. The world is so much better with you in it! We probably don't know each other but I'm so proud of you! ❤️
Thank you. My day has been pretty good. I think i'm almost ready to come out as a trans girl to my family. I came out to my friends last week and they are really accepting and and helped me decide on Chloe as my name
Me, being short: The larger body puts increased strain on the heart, resulting it it wearing out faster and shortening an individuals lifespan. Tall people die younger. Also Me, short and eating unhealthy junk: Hah, imagine needing to be tall to destroy your heart faster.
9:56 I’m not even trans but I LOVE THIS! It’s such a wholesome explanation about how people feel and experience their gender. 1000/10 pls show me more by this person!
My mom didn't pick out my name, her friend did. Her nameless friend whom I haven't met since. Nobody can spell my name based on how it sounds or pronounce it how it's written. I'm pretty sure my name is a cursed fairy gift.
My brother picked my deadname and he picked it because Flygon was his favorite Pokemon just before I was born. Now feel free to take guesses on what my deadname is.
I have been struggling a lot lately with dysphoria, school and homophobic/transphobic parants and have kinda been reaching my limit lately but hearing how encouraging and genuienly caring OT is in this video, and every video, just really means a lot to me. Thank you OT for encouraging me to keep going, I really needed it.
I hope things get better And same Ot kinda gives me like something to go on and i am happy his videos make me and msny others happiness Where our family is failing
We're all here for you. 🤗 Surround yourself as much as you can with people who love and support you for who you are and what you want from life, and kick the rest to the curb where they belong ASAP.
IDK what your life situation is precisely, but I'm here to say two things 1) mental illness is illness, if you spot any signs of suicide, treat them the same way a (competent) doctor would suggest treating signs of a heart attack or stroke, because a Crisis is just as much an uncontrollable medical emergency as those are (just saying this because I wish somebody had told me that when I was going through shit, it woulda saved me a whole lotta trouble. Don't think you're gonna kill yourself or anything, just trying to play it safe here). 2) Your life can change for the better in an instant. So don't give up hope, because if I (a neurodivergent asshole recovering from a years-long guilt complex that left me believing I was undeserving of love or friendship, very long and complex story, would be a documentary if anyone knew about it) can sort my shit out, make new friends, find new things to live for, and ultimately come out on top, SO CAN YOU!
Me being a shapeshifter is one of my biggest wishes but I also want to be able to shapeshift others, especially my best friend and her alters because I'd like to make them all feel like themselves when they're fronting/co-fronting
Texas boy here, deep in the heart of Republicania, saying out loud that TRANS PEOPLE ARE AWESOME AND DESERVE MORE SUPPORT. Time to be the loud majority, folks
As a Heathen (capitalized for reasons), I was excited when I saw that the editor put Thrymskvitha as a reference to OT's "gods have been trans" statement. It's one of the old Norse poems and one of my personal favourites. To simplify it, Thor finds out that Mjollnir has been stolen by Jotnar and decides to get it back. He discusses it with some of the gods and one of them then comes up with the idea that Thor should dress as a woman and present himself as the bride to be for the king of the Jotnar and Loki decides to come along to act as a bridesmaid (and let's face it, he lives for these shenanigans). Thor impresses the king with his lust for food, ale, and combat by eating and drinking more than the rest of the king's court and fighting off every single one of the giants on his own and requests his mighty hammer as the dowry for their marriage. There are variations of this story, mostly because things can easily get muddled when they're not properly recorded for centuries and there's always a bit of uncertainty in the translations we have, but the basic premise is mostly the same between them.
questioning my gender identity once again rn, all those "am i a boy?" questions are getting into me and causing me such a hard time. "would i feel more comfortable presenting myself as a boy? but i don't want to be what society thinks a boy is, BUT-" i feel hopeless and i have nobody to talk to about this. my head hurts lol
you could be demi-boy, gender-nonconforming transman or another non-binary identity! i hope you find what makes you happy regardless,, try thinking about what you could see yourself as when you've grown old (I'm non-binary and could not imagine myself as an elderly woman but don't fully identify with what i'd perceive an elderly male version of myself to be, so I'm a masc-leaning nonbinary who uses they/them pronouns, I hope this helps at all!)
There's more than one to think of what a man ought to be, and often even cisgendered men are burdened by societies expectation for what a man should be. You might be more comfortable presenting masculine, but that doesn't mean you have to buy into toxic views of masculinity. I find that a good way to explore questions like this is through stories. They're able to tackle philosophical questions as characters acting rather than as abstract theory. If you're a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender, there's a video by hello future me that reframes Iroh's character and personal story as one about fatherhood and him being a positive male role model for zuko contrasted by Ozai's toxic masculinity. You can also view your favorite characters who are women or who aren't gendered and see what aspects of them draw them to you and what parts of them you either see in yourself or look up to. Maybe you want to present more masculine and adopt masculine social traits, but there are parts of those characters you don't want to leave behind. Being able to recognize what parts of masculinity and what parts of femininity you like can help you decide who you ultimately want to be. I recently decided I want to transition and so even though I'm explore parts of femininity I like and want to be a part of there are still parts of masculinity that I've chosen to still strive for.
You can ask some friends to start referring to you with masculine terms and pronouns and see if it fits you. And you don’t have to be society’s definition of a gender to be that gender.
When it comes to LGBT stuff, I feel like a weird guy in the corner of a wrestling match, not understand what's going on but giving thumbs up nonetheless
In thinking about it, immortality seems way more like a curse than anything else. Watching everyone you care about leave you. Seeing the world slowly die for the sake of profit. Experiencing everything you've ever known change to the point that it's beyond recognition. It would be so isolating to know that no one else could really understand how you feel.
If you can call your friend that recently got married and changed their last name by their new last name then you can call someone by their new chosen name aswell KAREN
3:51 when I was a kid I always wanted to be a king, I always was told "why not a princess?" But my dad was like "HECK YEAH! BE A KING!" and I just kept that in my heart for so long and never realise how just some words can make someone's life just so damn memorable and amazing.. I decided that if I ever want to be trans,that I'd 100% come out to my dad first.
I am trans and a few of the most hurtful things I heard from my mom were “You don’t act Trans” (I have been questioning my gender since 4-6), “You are to young” (She said when was 11), and “You are just saying this because your friend did” (I am not, He helped me decide what felt right, each day, he gave me some, and He/Him just felt like it was who i’m supposed to be, I try my hardest to look and seem/act as a boy, so my family going ‘Yeah, SHE blah blah blah’ Hurts me. My dad thinks it’s a mental illness, so I have that going for me in life. (Edit) My friends accept me, so at least that’s good! I still love myself despite what they say! (I’m a trans F2M)
@@silvertongue231 that sounds scary, I’d believe it, I have family who does the same, i’ve hinted towards grandparents and they said I’d better not be trans, so yeah, i understand the fear, but that shouldn’t stop you from being you,, i’m sure he won’t find out, and if he does, hopefully he’ll understand. Even if it seems impossible.
@@V1nesAndStuffz I'm doing my best to be who I am in the closet. I just really wanna transition and I wish I could just tell them so I don't have to hear my dead name everyday
I have an online friend who transitioned, and I knew her when she was still in her "default settings" and had the dead name. She's the first trans person I've known, and the first to change pronouns as well as name. I wasn't really sure what to make of it all, it was a bit confusing at first, so I kinda skirted the sidelines and offered up a few kind words while I watched the whole process. It was pretty cool. She got reassigned, and is really happy now being a woman. She's pretty cool. :)
Lol, if gaming has taught me anything, it's that the default settings never work as well as custom. Will be using the phrase "default settings" from now on 🤣
hey, OT, you don't have to apologize for feeling down. you bring so much joy to us all the time when we're feeling down. all the wonderful supportive things people write in the comments are for you too. I hope things get better.
In Genesis 11:6, God said about humanity: "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." In other words, the reason why God confused the people's languages in the Tower of Babel was not because they were sinful. It was because their teamwork was so good that it made them LITERALLY OMNIPOTENT when working together as a group! So, yeah. Trans people, you can really replace God. All you need is a common language that connects you all!
I find it hilarious that this is a thing too...Like, this is HARD evidence the bible was written by humans with no understanding of the real world. It doesn't matter if people speak the same language or not. We would NEVER team up like this. Humanity seeks out fights, war, and control. We, as a species would have to be without those urges, or we'd never have that kind of power. But...individual groups, like trans and non-binary people, COULD all team up and become greater than god. True, there would be outliers like Blaire White, but those are EXTREME exceptions to the rule. Generally, most of us have our heads on straight, and we can make it happen. Hmm....Maybe that's what far-right Christians are so scared of...They KNOW we can defeat their god. LOL
Jesus was a jew, and I remember reading that there are 6 genders that they had at that time iirc.(I could be very wrong, it was the internet, but I see no reason why someone would make up that lie) I believe they were male, female, ftm, mtf, nonbinary, and something I cant remember. They definitely didn't use those exact words, but those are the words we have for them now.
@@mad_pac-man also like it's been edited so much so even if it was real It's been translated passed down and edited so much it probably doesn't even matter For the longest time it was just a few dudes who had access to it So you just trusted it Without knowing what it says Becuase you can't read
Today, I was doing a test in school and there was a little place for you to fill out your details. It was a serious test so my teacher was talking us through each step. When we got to gender, the only options were girl and boy. When we got to it my teacher said: "You don`t have to fill out this one if you are not comfortable. You might be non-binary." Just an extra little sentence like that made my day. Thanks teach.
This made me smile after worrying for way too long if my rights as a trans person will be taken away. It's nice to know there's still positivity out there :)
Hello! thank you so much for featuring my post! I’m u/TransDiaries, the person who made the last post! This is honestly so amazing to me, for my art to be given a platform like this and honestly feels so surreal,,, thank you so much!
Thank you for making that post. Posts like that are what helped me get out of my transphobia which is how I was able to realize I'm trans myself and not have internalized transphobia
While I don't know if he said it in this video, OT has honestly comforted and helped me accept myself as polyamorous, pan, and NB. Thank You, OT and I do hope you see this even though it probably is like a raindrop in the ocean.
Woah, it's really nice seeing a comic about dysphoria that DOESN'T assume that all trans people suffer from it! Makes me feel a lot less alienated (as a nonbinary person who used to be dysphoric when I thought I was binary, and no longer feel dysphoric after 3 years on HRT and becoming more comfortable with my gender not being binary). Too many people, even other trans people, try SO HARD to exclude us non-dysphoric trans people and dismiss our experiences as "faking" or "following a trend" or "taking up resources for 'REAL' trans people," so it feels really good to see a comic tackling the subject of dysphoria while making it clear that the experience isn't universal among ALL trans people. Thank you so much for including it, and by extension, us!
Downsides of being tall: People constantly saying "Wow, you're _really_ tall!" and then you're just like "um... okay..." and then the conversation just crashes because you have no idea what else to say. Not that I'm speaking from experience, of course.
When that happens there’s one simple way to fix it! Pick them up, roll them up in a ball, and dribble them to the nearest basketball court and dunk them.
@@VagueNaming Oh yeah, that's probably it. I don't really know how fast "Go" is, but if there's a $200 reward for passing them, then they must be really speedy.
Ah, common rookie mistake, but the way you handle a situation like that is actually by t-posing and looming over them intimidatingly while doing your best evil laugh.
So you know that Lego set OT was talking about? Well, I actually got that for my birthday a couple days ago and the fact that OT wants it too is awesome.
Speaking of changing names, while I’m not trans, I am a lesbian who is somewhat gender fluid, my names about to be official!!! If someone didn’t hack the Alaskan court system website it’d be done already. But it should be a week or so!!!!
These video's actually have helped me a lot! For a long time I've been on the fence, maybe thinking I was gender fluid between feminine and non-binary (I was born a male), but after watching some of these videos and realizing I relate to so much of this stuff led me to do a bunch of research about myself and what it means to be trans. It's been very enlightening and an absolutely wonderful experience so far, very similar to discovering my asexuality, and has helped a lot considering how transphobic my dad is. I just love how sweet and wholesome all of these videos have been, and I hope to see more. Thank you, OT, for doing what you do.
I hope you’re doing well out there. I know a lot is going on, especially right now, and I really hope you are safe and happy, but just remember: no matter what it is, you have the strength to get through it. I believe in you.
You’ve got this.

My brother nearly died of Pulmonary hypertension. He's alive because of the efforts of that trans woman from the Ted Talk and the life-saving, affordable treatments she created.

Awww 😍😊❤️
Glad to hear he's alive

FUN FACT: Samus Aran is trans. Hirofumi Matsuoka, who helped work on the original design for Samus Aran, called her a "ニューハーフ" or "newhalf", which is early Japanese 90s slang for "trans woman". The term also implies that she did not have bottom surgery.
In Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Other M, and official manga, younger Samus is depicted as a little girl, which would mean that her transition must have come early in her life so her height has nothing to do with her being trans. Also, just look at how Samus reacted to being called a lady in Metroid Other M!

Fun fact: In Turkish, there are no he/him, she/her, it/its, they/their pronouns. There is only one pronoun that works for anyone and anything, o/ onun.
Fun fact, in the Philippines, there are no pronouns either, it makes it easier to sing love songs to any gender, Tagalog ones tho. I don't know any Filipino made English songs about gay love
Same in georgian. Just ის
Same in armenian. Just na and nranq for plural
In China(or rather, the Chinese language) even though we have different ways to write our genders (他for boy or just any gender(this is what wiki said lol), 她for girl) it is all pronounced in the same way(tā)
It is so cool, love songs can be sang to any gender without it feeling weird, people who have changed their gender doesn't particularly have to tell a person they don't wanna tell to their pronouns (like teachers, or strangers, or homophobic parents). Sure, it'll still feel kinda off, since you know they think your pronouns are this rather than that, but still, it's better than English **rolls eyes**
It has its little flaws tho, like when you are writing to a girl and autocorrect thinks she's a boy (because our keyboard uses 拼音，which is the pronunciation of the word). But honestly this is little to nothing compared to what you can get and also you can fix it by just using the writing pad in your phones
So all in all, very glad to have this language in my life lmao
Not fun fact: In Spanish everything have a gender, even objects.

As a left hander who grew up in the deep south in the 80's, I relate to that last part hard. I was called "Demon Child" and "Wrong" and "Evil" by my family and teachers, bullied relentlessly throughout school because I 'refused to conform to the way normal people did things'. I still have a tiny panic attack when I need to write something down in public because of that.
My brother is left-handed, and I was born ambidextrous. I was "corrected" (read: physically & verbally abused) into only using my right hand for everything. Now I can no longer write or draw with my left.
wow thats disgusting treatment
So my dad was left-handed as a child, and he had his hands beaten unto submission until he learned to use his right hand. Because of conditioning, he wrote primarily with his right hand, but he was actually ambidextrous. My point being: the fact that he was beaten into becoming right-handed did not erase his true nature as a left-handed person...
Which just made me realize that my dad, although being an African man with very conservative upbringing, would probably be OK with my being bisexual if he was alive to see me right now... Wow
We know know that the bad place doesn’t support transphobia, this made the show even better

I was a math tutor in college. One woman sat with me to go over her homework. She was self-conscious of her age and told me she feared school. She was beaten for using her left hand as a kid. As a left-handed person myself, I told her times have changed. You don't have to be scared. She said,"I know, but I still am." Her boss was paying for her education. She grew more confident each time I saw her. She would hunt me down so we could celebrate her victories together. She deserves the world.

I am a 56yo, gay, left-handed man who came out some 30 years ago and your last post from Trans Diaries has done more for my understanding of what trans people go through on a daily basis than any other article, chat, book or face to face conversation I've ever had!
I've always obviously been a trans ally. But I've just never been given this perspective. Although my bullying as a lefthander could never compare to that of a trans person in a hostile environment, the comparison expands my empathy a hundred fold. Talk about walking in another soul's shoes?
Thank you so much for sharing this OT. Just one more reason I love your channel!
I was born left-handed. I am now for the most part ambidextrous, except that I can't use either hand all that well. I grew up in a school that had a lot of teachers who thought left-handedness was "of the devil" and would punish any kids caught using their left hand as their dominant hand. They screwed me over. If I could remember their names, I would be tempted to hunt them down and hit them with a yardstick until the cops show up.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja I was lucky to have a left-handed mom and a secular education. Kids would tease me a lot. But nothing horrible and no corporal punishment. I did have a friend's dad tell me once that Lucifer was left-handed. But I didn't take it to heart and my mom told him to "Go to hell!" on my behalf! She was always in my corner. Hell, when I came out she was so determined to read and learn all she could that she'd read milk cartons because they said "homo" on the side!
@@josephstout1461 Times have changed a lot in my area since I was a kid. When I was a kid, no kids were openly gay. It just didn't happen because if they were, the bullies would beat the crap out of them every day and make their lives a living hell. The teachers, of course, would look the other way. This was a public school. Now days, there are very few people who will harass you for being openly gay. Some people may mutter to themselves about this or that, but they tend to not bother the openly gay person. The few who do tend to get harassed by witnesses for being homophobic lol. I don't really know what I am when it comes to sexuality and gender. I have only recently begun shedding the years of programming in an effort to heal. I know you have probably encountered quite a bit of abuse over your lifetime as well. The world isn't great, but it is better than it was even twenty years ago.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja I have to say, I have been incredibly lucky. I came out at 18, on October 12th, 1982. Before it was even National Coming out day. I have experienced very little direct harassment. I am only 5'1" and learned early on to make friends with the biggest person in the room first. So most bullies would think twice.
Most of my adult life has been spent in and around the gay community. Fairly insular if you think about it. I wasn't exactly in a bubble because I worked in the straight world, a restaurant. But most of my free time and most of my income was spent in and on the gay community. I guess that was maybe a subconscious way of protecting myself. Things were different back in the '80s and '90s. Now you see gay flags hanging on houses out in the county. 30 years ago no one, including myself, would have had the balls to do that!

We're all here for you. 🤗 Surround yourself as much as you can with people who love and support you for who you are and what you want from life, and kick the rest to the curb where they belong ASAP.
IDK what your life situation is precisely, but I'm here to say two things
1) mental illness is illness, if you spot any signs of suicide, treat them the same way a (competent) doctor would suggest treating signs of a heart attack or stroke, because a Crisis is just as much an uncontrollable medical emergency as those are (just saying this because I wish somebody had told me that when I was going through shit, it woulda saved me a whole lotta trouble. Don't think you're gonna kill yourself or anything, just trying to play it safe here).
2) Your life can change for the better in an instant. So don't give up hope, because if I (a neurodivergent asshole recovering from a years-long guilt complex that left me believing I was undeserving of love or friendship, very long and complex story, would be a documentary if anyone knew about it) can sort my shit out, make new friends, find new things to live for, and ultimately come out on top, SO CAN YOU!

Me being a shapeshifter is one of my biggest wishes but I also want to be able to shapeshift others, especially my best friend and her alters because I'd like to make them all feel like themselves when they're fronting/co-fronting

Why?
my bro is 6'3 and I'm 5'3. I know the feeling.
@@sinifexxephinis4310 I just want to say the height difference is impressive tho
I am also 4'11 in a family of people who are all at least 5'9. Both of my brothers are over 6'.

As a Heathen (capitalized for reasons), I was excited when I saw that the editor put Thrymskvitha as a reference to OT's "gods have been trans" statement. It's one of the old Norse poems and one of my personal favourites.
To simplify it, Thor finds out that Mjollnir has been stolen by Jotnar and decides to get it back. He discusses it with some of the gods and one of them then comes up with the idea that Thor should dress as a woman and present himself as the bride to be for the king of the Jotnar and Loki decides to come along to act as a bridesmaid (and let's face it, he lives for these shenanigans). Thor impresses the king with his lust for food, ale, and combat by eating and drinking more than the rest of the king's court and fighting off every single one of the giants on his own and requests his mighty hammer as the dowry for their marriage.
There are variations of this story, mostly because things can easily get muddled when they're not properly recorded for centuries and there's always a bit of uncertainty in the translations we have, but the basic premise is mostly the same between them.
This makes me want to print out the last post, make little books, and give them out to anyone that's being mean.
I feel like all the lgbtqs can agree that he is one of the best allys.
As non binary and some of my trans* talk about his Chanel we agree

questioning my gender identity once again rn, all those "am i a boy?" questions are getting into me and causing me such a hard time. "would i feel more comfortable presenting myself as a boy? but i don't want to be what society thinks a boy is, BUT-" i feel hopeless and i have nobody to talk to about this. my head hurts lol
It seems you might be non-binary but its hard to tell from this comment alone
you could be demi-boy, gender-nonconforming transman or another non-binary identity! i hope you find what makes you happy regardless,, try thinking about what you could see yourself as when you've grown old (I'm non-binary and could not imagine myself as an elderly woman but don't fully identify with what i'd perceive an elderly male version of myself to be, so I'm a masc-leaning nonbinary who uses they/them pronouns, I hope this helps at all!)
There's more than one to think of what a man ought to be, and often even cisgendered men are burdened by societies expectation for what a man should be. You might be more comfortable presenting masculine, but that doesn't mean you have to buy into toxic views of masculinity. I find that a good way to explore questions like this is through stories. They're able to tackle philosophical questions as characters acting rather than as abstract theory. If you're a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender, there's a video by hello future me that reframes Iroh's character and personal story as one about fatherhood and him being a positive male role model for zuko contrasted by Ozai's toxic masculinity.
You can also view your favorite characters who are women or who aren't gendered and see what aspects of them draw them to you and what parts of them you either see in yourself or look up to. Maybe you want to present more masculine and adopt masculine social traits, but there are parts of those characters you don't want to leave behind. Being able to recognize what parts of masculinity and what parts of femininity you like can help you decide who you ultimately want to be. I recently decided I want to transition and so even though I'm explore parts of femininity I like and want to be a part of there are still parts of masculinity that I've chosen to still strive for.
You can ask some friends to start referring to you with masculine terms and pronouns and see if it fits you. And you don’t have to be society’s definition of a gender to be that gender.
Dude! Same!
When it comes to LGBT stuff, I feel like a weird guy in the corner of a wrestling match, not understand what's going on but giving thumbs up nonetheless
Thanks for doing your best.😊
Great! You have no idea how much queer people appreciate those who do their best to understand and support us!
Trying is all that matters, thank for supporting us!
You have the most important part on lock, I would say.
You're our weird guy in the corner at a wrestling match and we love ya for it
In thinking about it, immortality seems way more like a curse than anything else. Watching everyone you care about leave you. Seeing the world slowly die for the sake of profit. Experiencing everything you've ever known change to the point that it's beyond recognition. It would be so isolating to know that no one else could really understand how you feel.
Every time I'm having a bad day, or dysphoria is hitting hard, I watch one topic at a time and it always makes me feel better about life and myself
If you can call your friend that recently got married and changed their last name by their new last name then you can call someone by their new chosen name aswell KAREN

3:51 when I was a kid I always wanted to be a king, I always was told "why not a princess?" But my dad was like "HECK YEAH! BE A KING!" and I just kept that in my heart for so long and never realise how just some words can make someone's life just so damn memorable and amazing..
I decided that if I ever want to be trans,that I'd 100% come out to my dad first.
I am trans and a few of the most hurtful things I heard from my mom were “You don’t act Trans” (I have been questioning my gender since 4-6), “You are to young” (She said when was 11), and “You are just saying this because your friend did” (I am not, He helped me decide what felt right, each day, he gave me some, and He/Him just felt like it was who i’m supposed to be, I try my hardest to look and seem/act as a boy, so my family going ‘Yeah, SHE blah blah blah’ Hurts me. My dad thinks it’s a mental illness, so I have that going for me in life.
(Edit) My friends accept me, so at least that’s good! I still love myself despite what they say!
(I’m a trans F2M)
I'm FTM and people didn't understand it when I was young. Now I'm an adult and they can't tell me what to do. Hang in there.
You're a living legend, Bro.
~FTM Brother
I'm ftm and my uncle/roomie constantly listens to transphobic stuff I'm terrified that he might find out
@@silvertongue231 that sounds scary, I’d believe it, I have family who does the same, i’ve hinted towards grandparents and they said I’d better not be trans, so yeah, i understand the fear, but that shouldn’t stop you from being you,, i’m sure he won’t find out, and if he does, hopefully he’ll understand. Even if it seems impossible.
@@V1nesAndStuffz I'm doing my best to be who I am in the closet. I just really wanna transition and I wish I could just tell them so I don't have to hear my dead name everyday
I have an online friend who transitioned, and I knew her when she was still in her "default settings" and had the dead name. She's the first trans person I've known, and the first to change pronouns as well as name. I wasn't really sure what to make of it all, it was a bit confusing at first, so I kinda skirted the sidelines and offered up a few kind words while I watched the whole process. It was pretty cool. She got reassigned, and is really happy now being a woman. She's pretty cool. :)
using default settings as a way to describe someone pre-transiton is the best thing I've ever heard
@@spectralotl Thanks :)
Lol, if gaming has taught me anything, it's that the default settings never work as well as custom. Will be using the phrase "default settings" from now on 🤣
@@alvh4198 Lol! I swear it's like we just get assigned whatever random character generation the universe makes for us based on our race and class.
"She got resigned" is sending me 😂
here we observe, OT dying from laughter for 26 seconds straight, and moving on to the rest of the OT out of context mueseme we have-
hey, OT, you don't have to apologize for feeling down. you bring so much joy to us all the time when we're feeling down. all the wonderful supportive things people write in the comments are for you too. I hope things get better.
Do you know, why he's down?
@@Jaybird196 no, just what it says in the description
@@clairebenevento409 Okay. Thanks, anyway.
In Genesis 11:6, God said about humanity: "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." In other words, the reason why God confused the people's languages in the Tower of Babel was not because they were sinful. It was because their teamwork was so good that it made them LITERALLY OMNIPOTENT when working together as a group!
So, yeah. Trans people, you can really replace God. All you need is a common language that connects you all!
I find it hilarious that this is a thing too...Like, this is HARD evidence the bible was written by humans with no understanding of the real world. It doesn't matter if people speak the same language or not. We would NEVER team up like this. Humanity seeks out fights, war, and control. We, as a species would have to be without those urges, or we'd never have that kind of power. But...individual groups, like trans and non-binary people, COULD all team up and become greater than god. True, there would be outliers like Blaire White, but those are EXTREME exceptions to the rule. Generally, most of us have our heads on straight, and we can make it happen.
Hmm....Maybe that's what far-right Christians are so scared of...They KNOW we can defeat their god. LOL
Jesus was a jew, and I remember reading that there are 6 genders that they had at that time iirc.(I could be very wrong, it was the internet, but I see no reason why someone would make up that lie) I believe they were male, female, ftm, mtf, nonbinary, and something I cant remember. They definitely didn't use those exact words, but those are the words we have for them now.

Yeah god in the old testamate wasn’t a good person. Which is why Jesus is my Boi.
Today, I was doing a test in school and there was a little place for you to fill out your details. It was a serious test so my teacher was talking us through each step. When we got to gender, the only options were girl and boy. When we got to it my teacher said:
"You don`t have to fill out this one if you are not comfortable. You might be non-binary."
Just an extra little sentence like that made my day. Thanks teach.
This made me smile after worrying for way too long if my rights as a trans person will be taken away. It's nice to know there's still positivity out there :)

Hello! thank you so much for featuring my post! I’m u/TransDiaries, the person who made the last post! This is honestly so amazing to me, for my art to be given a platform like this and honestly feels so surreal,,, thank you so much!
Thank you for making that post. Posts like that are what helped me get out of my transphobia which is how I was able to realize I'm trans myself and not have internalized transphobia
@@jumpydashgd4699 no problem!! I’m so happy I could help
You. Are. Awesome.
While I don't know if he said it in this video, OT has honestly comforted and helped me accept myself as polyamorous, pan, and NB. Thank You, OT and I do hope you see this even though it probably is like a raindrop in the ocean.
Woah, it's really nice seeing a comic about dysphoria that DOESN'T assume that all trans people suffer from it! Makes me feel a lot less alienated (as a nonbinary person who used to be dysphoric when I thought I was binary, and no longer feel dysphoric after 3 years on HRT and becoming more comfortable with my gender not being binary). Too many people, even other trans people, try SO HARD to exclude us non-dysphoric trans people and dismiss our experiences as "faking" or "following a trend" or "taking up resources for 'REAL' trans people," so it feels really good to see a comic tackling the subject of dysphoria while making it clear that the experience isn't universal among ALL trans people. Thank you so much for including it, and by extension, us!
Downsides of being tall:
People constantly saying "Wow, you're _really_ tall!" and then you're just like "um... okay..." and then the conversation just crashes because you have no idea what else to say.
Not that I'm speaking from experience, of course.
When that happens there’s one simple way to fix it! Pick them up, roll them up in a ball, and dribble them to the nearest basketball court and dunk them.
@@VagueNaming Contrary to popular belief, I have never played basketball. Is that the one with the little figurines and the "Pass Go Collect $200"?
@@cojec I- I think so? That might be Soccer though, I’ve heard that soccer involves a lot of running
@@VagueNaming Oh yeah, that's probably it. I don't really know how fast "Go" is, but if there's a $200 reward for passing them, then they must be really speedy.
Ah, common rookie mistake, but the way you handle a situation like that is actually by t-posing and looming over them intimidatingly while doing your best evil laugh.

it reminds me of the Skye Larsen arc from watchdogs legion
So you know that Lego set OT was talking about? Well, I actually got that for my birthday a couple days ago and the fact that OT wants it too is awesome.
Whenever I feel like nobody understands how it feels to be trans, I watch these, and I feel loved.
Thats why most of us are here. We love each other.
The only thing that triggered me in this is him questioning my smol boi Litwick. HE IS MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GHOST LIGHT 😆!!!
Omg same
Speaking of changing names, while I’m not trans, I am a lesbian who is somewhat gender fluid, my names about to be official!!! If someone didn’t hack the Alaskan court system website it’d be done already. But it should be a week or so!!!!
congrats!!!
These video's actually have helped me a lot! For a long time I've been on the fence, maybe thinking I was gender fluid between feminine and non-binary (I was born a male), but after watching some of these videos and realizing I relate to so much of this stuff led me to do a bunch of research about myself and what it means to be trans. It's been very enlightening and an absolutely wonderful experience so far, very similar to discovering my asexuality, and has helped a lot considering how transphobic my dad is. I just love how sweet and wholesome all of these videos have been, and I hope to see more. Thank you, OT, for doing what you do.
