Hey, for the interest of educating myself on this topic, does that mean you were a woman that turned into a man or a man that turned into a woman? Thanks, and have a nice day!
I think one of the biggest red flags is the story didn't even mention HRT, which is the first step before surgery. Jumping straight to "the surgery" is a very cis way of looking at things.
I've met people who genuinely believe that once you are diagnoses with Gender Dysphoria, you're whisked away for "the surgery" within a week. With no recovery time too!
it's also really weird that it just suddenly jumped there with nothing in-between, like at all, just jumping from "i felt like a girl" to "in order to get the procedure" like most of the transition was instant
@artemis.nnnnnbbbbb AI uses what it finds online and word associations. It doesn't understand what the words actually mean, the nuances of language. And unfortunately a lot of transphobic rhetoric is available online to pull from, so it uses that language, that word association to produce the series of words. They are technically correct word to word, but the meaning is wrong on the larger scale. A picture example is hands with too many or messed up fingers. AI knows hands have fingers, so it puts fingers on hands. It doesn't understand the uncanny valley
this video is from one of those "real story!!!!" content farms where the stories are very much so not real - or at least, very heavily edited from a real story. it's not real. its a shame to know these channels are still churning out fake stories like this
(while I think this one's fake) I will say, if I ever tell my experience verbally.... I rather use a AI voice over vs my own speaking. My ADHD kinda messes things up verbally.
So alot of the confusion about the timeline and jumping around seems to be from them messing up the video order. I recognize the animation and its a content farm. So they probably had multiple people making each part and those parts got mixed up in the edit when it was being spliced together. Hope that helps with the confusion a little lol
The only two that get a pass in my book was the channel that originated this trend (I forgot it's name) because it actually had real stories. And MSA because last time i watched them a few years ago I remember it was actually pretty good, even though I knew the stories were fake they were still really fun. But the rest are often just hot garbage with ugly art and poorly written stories that actually pretend to be real.
Thought the story was fake as soon as the "feminine influences" stuff came in twinned with "no father" and "I was bullied" 🙃 Feels like one of those PragerU or whatever cartoons. I like that you were more empathic than I would be though Jamie just in case it is/was a real story 😅 I don't have quite that level of patience.
Yeah, I am seeing subtle vibes of shitting on single mums, putting all the blame on them. Like really, who would be telling a story like that, instead of focusing on the fact that her mother raised five children on presumably one income. The protagonist was more likely to be bullied (unfortunately) for wearing femme clothes she inherited from her older sisters. Or for her not fitting well with boys (oh, she said that). Who would even care about names? Edit, oh and 5.03 putting blame on her sisters. Because, god forbid, siblings play together. If there were a way to be disrespectful about a subject, they just went with it at every opportunity. Misogyny (blaming women in her life, strongly implying that there is only one right way to be a woman: make up, attraction to men, stereotypical female job, long hair, dresses, hour-glass body shape, "female" interests, gossiping), transphobia (inaccurate transition facts, like no HRT mentioned, and getting any surgery could have take her a decade or two), and homophobia (implication that she is a woman because she is in a relationship with a man). Surprised, they didn't sneak in racism in there. What is it, a rage-bait? -_- Jamie is really too kind about it! But yes, I get it. Just in case it was a real story.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like it could be an AI written story. Also, it feels like some of the scenes were out of place. I feel like that first scene about "the big city" was supposed to come after she moved to the city, and that scene talking about not having romantic attraction was supposed to be attached to the scene about all of her friends being female
It seems to me more like an ignorant (about transgender) and amatuer presentation, with all the misinformation from transphobes presented like a story. Realistic as a 3 dollar bill.
23:30 In Poland you need a 'good reason' to change your name. For trans people the most likely to get approved is to prove that you've been using your chosen name for quite some time.
Also, before changing the sex on your birth certificate, you can only change your name from female name to other female or unisex name or male name to other male or unisex name. And to change the sex on birth certificate you have to sue your parents and have "evidences" for your gender, e.g. hrt, surgeries, medical opinions, then court decide if your gender is valid. This could go on for ages, so most people are already years in transition before legally using their chosen name.
@igorrzeszutek4955 There is one recorded instance where a trans woman (Hanna Talczewska) changed her name without suing her parents, but yeah it's safer after changing your legal sex.
@@igorrzeszutek4955 actually it is not precisesly told by a law and whetever changin to a name of different gender then the previous ones it differs from city to city (there are actual lists for trans people where it's easiest to change name to a differently gendered one)
In Czechia, until a recent court case, you could only change your name to a gender-neutral one after starting transition. You could then get a new gendered name (along with an updated gender marker) after lower surgery, which had to include sterilization. These rules will expire in July of this year.
Voices absolutely can trigger uncanny valley feelings. This qualifies. 😬 ....ohhhh and of course with the lack of father figure. This is so freaking predictable.
@@meenakshinair9172 me too! raised by a single mother, didn't really like any of my uncles and only really like one of my male cousins. Transmasc! Definitely had that well....if there's no man of the house it might as well be me.
I wouldn’t worry about it being potentially real - that channel looks like one of the many, many content farms that all decided to rip off Storybooth (to my knowledge the only genuine one). The UA-camr Jarvis Johnson has an awesome series where he watches a bunch of these videos and proves that they’re pretty much all fake. I highly recommend it to anyone interested!
Think it's definitely AI written, it's like a weird mix of stories online from trans women the AI probably pulled it from UA-cam videos especially when she talks about doing makeup tutorials 😸 I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be some transphobic thing
I wouldnt be surprised if the story was made to prepare for a different channel of an ai woman doing makeup tutorials, and they'd probably act like its a real video and person
As a trans person, the closest I come to providing my dead name like that is I'll occasionally say "I used to go by [deadname]." when it's relevant, like when I'm catching up with someone that doesn't recognize me because they only knew me pre transition. Additionally, the timeline inconsistencies and language being geared to how cis people view trans people indicates that this written ai. As a trans positive story, the only way for the language to be written in that manner is if it was based on training data that includes mostly what cis people say about trans people and the timeline is a hallmark of a neural network because generative ai doesn't have memory, it just produces sentences that appear correct based on how it's trained
Funny this should be posted today. I was trying to justify and stand up to my dad regarding trans people. He refused to listen and used the Bible and such. I eventually just put my headphones on and ignored him as he continued his rant.
In the US, name changes are generally simpler than that. You're required to post notifications (in case you're doing so to dodge debt or something) for a month or so. Correcting your gender on legal documents can be much more difficult, though. You can get a passport with the right information, but state level rules vary widely and often prevent or heavily restrict having a new birth certificate printed. States tend to fall back on the BC, so you might have transitioned decades ago but be unable get identification with your true gender indicated.
Kraig with a k's kids were Jessika and Krystal, and hus grandchild is Kylor. I knew a family where all three kids had the same first and midfle initial, and there's always the Duggars.
it's either the little brother, the big brother, or the dad. i think playing "beauty salon day" with any masc figure in the family is a pretty common cis girl/fem kid childhood experience😂 i still remember doing my dad's hair or my brother's makeup at slumber parties with my cousins
In my neighbourhood, all the kids were within 6 years of each other. All the girls did dress the boys up in dresses and makeup. A couple of the boys ended up bi, but none were trans women and perhaps their queerness made them want to dress in pretty dresses and makeup with us, or maybe they wanted to just have fun. Either way we didn’t turn them trans 😂
I am a trans guy, but I'm one who wasn't born trans. I was deffinently a little girl. I believe gender can change, and that was deffinently the case for me. I also don't call my previous name my dead name. If someone says it, I cringe, but it isn't insulting. I do know people have different experiences, and not many people feel the same way I do.
I understand how you feel. I don't consider my previous name my "deadname", tho I refer to it sometimes as such because it's just easy shorthand. It's mostly cringe to me, but I'm not out at work so I go by it every day and I probably deal better than most trans people might. I don't think I changed gender personally, but I now have a greater understanding of it; so I think of my past self as a girl/woman. I don't identify much with the typical "I always knew I was X" even tho there were probably signs that I would eventually be happier as a man.
I do think that my feelings/experience aren't typical tho, and that's probably why it took me so long from when I started questioning my gender to realize I was trans tbh
It's certainly possible for identity to be fluid and to develop over the course of one's life. Nonbinary writer Sam Dylan Finch has said they weren't born trans, in pushing back against the overreliance on the "born this way" narrative by allies. I could also say the same, from a certain point of view. I'm agender genderfluid, and I've realized that gender identity can fluctuate on a day by day basis, or over the course of many years, or any combination thereof.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150-b9t I mean Jamie also kinds says trans people are born the way they are, which is meant to be helpful but it does make this topic a bit more... contradictory I guess
@yaboiEchogaming ai has existed since quite a bit before 2020 lmfao. a majority of these ridiculous story channels clearly use ai for their scripts, it's certainly not a stretch to assume so
Other comments have pointed out that this is fake, but id like to point out that the reason for the "Uncanny Valley" voice is because that is 100% a TTS bot or AI voice. Obviously it's not a perfect indicator, but there's normally a certain quality to transfem voices that this voice doesn't have. But yeah, the title and thumbnail alone raise soooooo much suspicion.
My stster had a preset dad, an awesome grandpa, a brother, all male friends... She still turned out very trans. I kind of connected better with girls, and I'm not trans. I tried makeup once and was like 'meh'. I don't know if we are special, but I don't think so.
the weird timeline of the story looks like there was a mistake in editing it with a few scenes from further part of the video ending up earlier than it should it should have been: people hated her at school for not dating -> she moved to a big city -> met more people like her -> family helped her medically transition and... I'm betting on the story itself being ai generated :P
Before he even said it, what was that intro😭. Ik some trans people are completely comfy sharing their deadname but immediately? Imagine this was meeting someone for the first time (as a trans person or a cis person) and they start with THAT
My daughter did a fantastic job helping me understand this. I hope you don't run into problems too often. From my own different experiences, I very much understand. As I'd get more and more healthy in life and self, the unhealthy parts of past life become more painful to endure when they'd come up. It surprised me, but also makes sense once I actually deconstructed it 😅 May you have a healthy, supported life as YOU. This mom (for whatever it's worth) wants only you to be YOU.
Hah. So funny watching Jamie ricochet between "This can't be real" and "this might be real, but it's weirdly written" and then back to "definitely can't be real". Love the empathy of trying to give it as much benefit of the doubt possible while being honest about the red flags.
idk how "well-meaning" machine-generated industrial content slop can actually be lol. it's purely for money and views with minimum effort. they're not putting any thought into it beyond that
In regards to name changes in the US: I certainly can't speak for every state, but I do live in one of the reddest states, and actually has a law prohibiting changing your gender marker on birth certificate, and I was able to initiate two name changes last year, without having any surgeries whatsoever towards my transition. For the record, that state is Kansas.
@TheRecreator3865 I know, it sucks. I even got strong pushback from the guy at the Social Security office in Independence KS about changing my gender marker with the SSA. He insisted that I need documentation that he knows damn well can't exist. Oh and the worst part? If you did happen to get your birth certificate gender marker changed, better not lose that copy; a replacement will revert your gender marker to your birth sex.
"I didnt have a father figure" Well i have an older brother and my father was abusive and yet here I am a closeted nonbinary trans masc At the very least some things in this story are odd but also i dont want to rule out they just butchered someones story without permission or something
Yeah my sister's family all havenames that start with BR My sister's husband is Brian Their two children are Brandy and Brandon Brandy has a husband, Brent, and two kids Brayden and Breelie Brandon has a wife Olivia (who no one else in my sister's family approves of*) and two kids Brexley and Breslyn The grossest part is my sister's husband will proudly say "their names must start with BR everyone k own they belong to me!" *Olivia is not only not accepted because of her name but because she's Hispanic and my sister's family are small town Texans and everything that implies so there's some racism in there as well The worst example was when Brent became verbally abusive to Brandy, cheated on her and left her, my sister and her husband encouraged Brandy to forgive him and taupe him back (probably because there might have been a chance she would start dating someone who's name didn't start with BR)
I know a family with all M names- mom, dad, and 2 daughters, so less people, but their last name also starts with an M. Sadly they didn’t continue it with the middle names, but still
The playground map thing is so interesting for i , a trans individual who is realizing that i might be outside the binary , havent had the experience of anyside. Ex: i have two friends so close i called them my sisters. I never played with anyone . But i always watched everyone on the elementary school yard. I felt like a observer more that in one group or the other
9:36 yes, when I was like a toddler i wanted to group among guys because i viewed them more similar to me. I think Freud is right about ages and phases. When I grew up people were more mixed so there wasn’t much of a problem 14:40 I was bullied too about it :(
I think it's possible that it's a true story, but it's been edited for the audience. There are some people who, when you submit a story for their video, put it through heavy edits. But some parts are still really EWW. So, I'm not sure.
Hi Jamie, Aussie transfemme here, where I'm from gender affirmation surgery is hard required in order to get a sex marker change. Furthermore it has to be confirmed by two medical professionals that affirtmation surgery has occured. It's not the case everywhere is australia (most notably victoria), but it is for quite a lot of it.
2:00 - I do think starting the video like this is fine. Would a trans person do that face to face, very unlikely, but for an educational video, it can be fine depending on who made it (mostly what their first language is), who the target audience is, and ofc how comfortable the person is with starting the video like that.
This is really cringe. In my state in the US, I had no problems getting a name change at least before I had any surgeries. I can't speak for other states. The stereotypes were all there. Referring to herself as a guy is just bizarre.
I remember that I littrly wrote a story about a teenage girl who got bullied when we had to write a few pages for swedish in like 8:th grade. My teacher was like, "You made it so belevitable." Yeah, I am swedish.
For anyone wondering: this is a fake story produced by one of many animated storytime content farm channels that popped up a few years ago (don’t remember exactly when, but it was probably pre-pandemic). I say this because a lot of people in the comments think it’s ai and while they’re on the right track the “real story” channels predate ai tools as we know them. Edit: from what I can tell and what I remember, almost every channel that claims to animate/narrate viewer submitted stories is fake. If you want real animated stories, the only channel I’d say you can trust would be Storybooth, since it was the channel all the content farms copied.
13:29 i understand that it feels a little AI, but i also think it sounds like a translated story . There is a chance the person who originally wrote it didn't speak English and it was translated without local dialect taken into account.
That could be true, but these "animted story" channels are almost always fake stories. The low-quality, quick to produce animation is a giveaway to that kind of low-effort content
NB transmasc that had a femme era here: No, my sisters did not help me with makeup except when I asked and only for specific questions. My roommates asked if I wanted to do hair and makeup more often than any sibling with an interest in makeup did! We were supposed to figure that stuff out on our own. Turns out that I don't really like that stuff much but that's only because it takes talent that I can't be bothered to develop.
I wonder if the person who made this animated video doesn't speak English as their native language. It could potentially explain some of the weird word choices/sentence structures and simplification of things.
Optimistically I would say that this is a fictional story written by a hopefully well-meaning cis straight person. Kind of rub me the wrong way that just because she's a trans woman it was automatically presumed that she would only be attracted to men "The way a normal woman would".
Firstly, Happy New Year Jamie, hope it's been great so far!! I love your videos! Secondly, as for name changing in the States (I'm from a northern state), you don't have to be trans to be able to legally change your name, depending on the state you live in, the fee to change your name varies, but if you're of limited/low-income, you can get an IPF form to fill out instead of the 'regular' name change form, which can reduce the fee or waive it completely. You'll also have to a hearing at your local courthouse with 2 people as your jury/witnesses, which can consist of family/relative(s), your spouse, and/or close friend(s). I'm currently in the process of getting my name legally changed finally after almost a decade of finding *my* name, as it's my first "big boy purchase" goal for 2025. ^Hope the info above helped a little bit.
just so you know, those kind of animated stories are usually fake and meant to be exaggerated (although they're still framed as "true stories", most of the time)
After watching too many of these videos when I was younger I can say that I really don't think any of them are real at all. The things that happen in these stories are way too insane and sometimes they even repeat the same story again but just change the character from female to male. The stories can be quite fun but only if you don't really take them seriously. A lot of people watch them to laugh about how ridiculous they are. When they do decide to do something on a realistic topic, its often overexaggerated or talked about in an inaccurate way in order to make it more entertaining and interesting to watch.
21:00 This is the part where it feels like an AI wrote it. This is exactly the kind of logical hiccup AI tends to do. It writes a coherent story and then suddenly out of left field comes "they hated gay people" in a story about being trans. Pretty sure this is all bs written by AI.
The Uncanny Valley can occur with any mismatch. It could be imagery and voice, voice and cadence, visual and cadence, an obvious machine with human body language, the reverse-- you name it. It's valid regardless.
In Wisconsin were I was born, you HAVE to bottom surgery before you allowed to change your sex marker on your (amended) birth certificate. Yeah, they want to sterilize you.
As someone who has read a lot of forces femme stuff (only way a young repressed me knew how to interact with my gender identity) this pretty sure this is just one of those
This is either fully AI, a cis person looking up being trans, or it's someone's real experience that they input into an AI, and told it to make a cohesive script, but it obviously messed up or there wasn't enough detail in the original story. Of course it could also be a completely real story, but the stereotypes and phrasing makes me doubt that a lot. It seems like one of those storytime channels that just make up stories.
Guys the video can’t be AI. It’s almost 10 years old and if you pay attention, you can hear the change in expression sigh’s, and breaths in the voice I’m not saying the story is real though that’s definitely completely fake 😂
In the US, you can start the process to legally change your name whenever you want! Cis or trans, changing your given name or your family name, for any reason other than evading the law. There's a small fee, a hearing with a judge (I don't know if you need this to take a married name), and a bunch of red tape. It would be harder to change your gender legally, I don't know what the procedure for that would be.
The storyteller might be an ai voice, it has the weird sentence stops. And that makes me think the story itself might be ai too (especially with all the other odd things)
If it weren't for the channel it was from, I'd suspect it to be the case of: 100 people submitted their story 1 got selected They edited this person's story down to what they wanted it to sound like And publish!
I had a mix of girl and boy friends growing up, had mostly female teachers, mostly talked to my mom, and had 2 younger sisters and 1 younger brother. I'm a trans man though despite all the feminine influences I had
it's hard to change your name in the US and even harder to change your gender marker. for the gender marker, there ARE requirements for how long you have to be living as the gender you are changing your marker to. most states have not added a gender neutral marker. therefore you would have to be living as the "opposite sex" and be changing your gender marker as such.
23:58 that’s the way I did it actually, currently in that last stage. At least for me in the U.S it just takes forever to get everything in order, so honestly getting myself feeling more comfortable in my body had to take priority over dealing with the bureaucracy of it all😵💫 I socially changed my name of course, but that last legal name change+ updating gender marking step does tend to be like the big last step, at least from the trans folk I know. But that is just my experience.
My mom lovesssssssss to do that beginning introduction for me then doesn't understand why it hurts me. Also as a trans girl, this video is soooo hard to watch. I am actively clenching my teeth every time I hear the stereotypes. The story is clearly written by a cis person who does not understand how being trans works and it feels targetted. I hope this narrative can fade away :c Edit: I was also in an all boy family so I don't understand the only feminine influences thing. It also sounds like it follows the trans medicalist beliefs which is yucky
I think re social influence, the video made it seem like the person was trans because they were bullied for their interest in feminine things (ie. the boys at school saying 'you're a girl' and making fun of the person for painting their nails, make up, etc.) into thinking they couldn't be a feminine boy/man and were, therefore, a trans girl/woman rather than that it was the influence of their sisters. But that's just my opinion
I've now reached the end. I'm 100% convinced this entire thing was made up by AI. the voice is fake, the story barely sticks to 1 point and is out of order....even family members disappear (4 older sisters suddenly become 2 sisters and a mum). I'm calling bullshit
23:39 nope, I changed my name almost a year ago but I’m not old enough to even start medically transitioning so I have no idea what the story is talking about 😭
12:03 Why is she more worred about what people will think about nail polish vs. a full face of makeup? it really is like an uncanny valley story. It's written like a fanfic from a newbie writer about a slice of life story.

I get it, this comment was made 19 hours before the video went up :D
that advertisement thing at the start with all the puns was so good
As a trans woman myself, the sheer amount of stereotyping here just hurts 🫠
Hey, for the interest of educating myself on this topic, does that mean you were a woman that turned into a man or a man that turned into a woman? Thanks, and have a nice day!
real😭😭😭
i grew up with only sisters and grew up to be a butch transfem like
ikr its painful this defo was not written by a trans person
true, true, I wanted to be trans once and even though I dont anymore, still hurts.
As a trans woman too. I too cringe at that fake story
I think one of the biggest red flags is the story didn't even mention HRT, which is the first step before surgery. Jumping straight to "the surgery" is a very cis way of looking at things.
I've met people who genuinely believe that once you are diagnoses with Gender Dysphoria, you're whisked away for "the surgery" within a week. With no recovery time too!
it's also really weird that it just suddenly jumped there with nothing in-between, like at all, just jumping from "i felt like a girl" to "in order to get the procedure" like most of the transition was instant
this somehow feels too much like a bunch of bits are missing
i feel like there's no way it's not AI written, but also it seems too inaccurate to be AI
@artemis.nnnnnbbbbb AI uses what it finds online and word associations. It doesn't understand what the words actually mean, the nuances of language. And unfortunately a lot of transphobic rhetoric is available online to pull from, so it uses that language, that word association to produce the series of words. They are technically correct word to word, but the meaning is wrong on the larger scale. A picture example is hands with too many or messed up fingers. AI knows hands have fingers, so it puts fingers on hands. It doesn't understand the uncanny valley
This sounds like someone quickly looked up being trans and wrote a story about it
Probably AI generated
This sounds like an AI quickly looked up being trans and wrote a story about it
Seriously. Emphasis on quickly. It feels so manufactured.
I had five sisters (I grew up with) and strong feminine influences and I am still a trans man. AMAZING RIGHT?
I had a very equal "influence" of male and female (THAT I GREW UP WITH), and I ended up as trans-femme! AMAZING!!!!
I have mostly fem influences but I turned out as a trans boy 😟
Cuz we’re all born this way, it’s not about influence >o
Yep, grew up with 4 sisters, still a trans man
I was raised in a feminist household and spent lots of time with female family members but I’m still a transmasc 😱
this video is from one of those "real story!!!!" content farms where the stories are very much so not real - or at least, very heavily edited from a real story. it's not real. its a shame to know these channels are still churning out fake stories like this
I'm sorry, this is super off topic, but I love that you have a Cure Wing pfp
@Ammiteur9 ah a fellow Precure fan!
I think there were just a ton of editing mistakes, because it probably is just one of those content farms
It feels kinda ai 😕 idk tho
@KrispyRoastPotato Very much so, hello there =)
"How fake do you want this to sound?"
"Yes"
That's an AI voice. I'm sure of it.
The script was probably AI generated too!
Pretty sure these fake animated story content farms predate ai by a couple of years, but yeah, still as soulless as you can get.
I think its like google voice synthisis 8nstead if stuff like elevenlabs
The entire thing screams AI
(while I think this one's fake) I will say, if I ever tell my experience verbally.... I rather use a AI voice over vs my own speaking. My ADHD kinda messes things up verbally.
So alot of the confusion about the timeline and jumping around seems to be from them messing up the video order.
I recognize the animation and its a content farm. So they probably had multiple people making each part and those parts got mixed up in the edit when it was being spliced together.
Hope that helps with the confusion a little lol
I LOVE FARMING IN A FARMING SIM BUT ITS NOT A FARMING SIM ITS REAL LIFE AND MY CROPS ARE PEOPLE
definitely, that was my first thought too
Their eyeballs are hypnotically round and solid
Thank you for explaining it better than I could.
All those videos are fake, any animated storytime from channels like that just make stuff up for views. Sucks tbh
The only two that get a pass in my book was the channel that originated this trend (I forgot it's name) because it actually had real stories. And MSA because last time i watched them a few years ago I remember it was actually pretty good, even though I knew the stories were fake they were still really fun.
But the rest are often just hot garbage with ugly art and poorly written stories that actually pretend to be real.
Do you mean channels like Jaiden Animations and Haminations?
@@Stellarseacowz Storybooth?
THEY ACTUALLY ANIMATED MY STORY is a fun parody of these types of channels that I came across many years ago.
@@AdelheidroMedici No, they don't mean every animated storytime channel. They mean ones with this specific fake vibe to it.
Tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary of being on HRT!
omg that's great! congratulations‼‼🎉
congrats!! :))
Yooo!!!! Congrats!!!! 🎉🎊 ❤️🏳️⚧️ /)
Congrats!!
Congrats
Thought the story was fake as soon as the "feminine influences" stuff came in twinned with "no father" and "I was bullied" 🙃 Feels like one of those PragerU or whatever cartoons.
I like that you were more empathic than I would be though Jamie just in case it is/was a real story 😅 I don't have quite that level of patience.
Yeah, I am seeing subtle vibes of shitting on single mums, putting all the blame on them. Like really, who would be telling a story like that, instead of focusing on the fact that her mother raised five children on presumably one income. The protagonist was more likely to be bullied (unfortunately) for wearing femme clothes she inherited from her older sisters. Or for her not fitting well with boys (oh, she said that). Who would even care about names?
Edit, oh and 5.03 putting blame on her sisters. Because, god forbid, siblings play together.
If there were a way to be disrespectful about a subject, they just went with it at every opportunity. Misogyny (blaming women in her life, strongly implying that there is only one right way to be a woman: make up, attraction to men, stereotypical female job, long hair, dresses, hour-glass body shape, "female" interests, gossiping), transphobia (inaccurate transition facts, like no HRT mentioned, and getting any surgery could have take her a decade or two), and homophobia (implication that she is a woman because she is in a relationship with a man). Surprised, they didn't sneak in racism in there. What is it, a rage-bait? -_-
Jamie is really too kind about it! But yes, I get it. Just in case it was a real story.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like it could be an AI written story. Also, it feels like some of the scenes were out of place. I feel like that first scene about "the big city" was supposed to come after she moved to the city, and that scene talking about not having romantic attraction was supposed to be attached to the scene about all of her friends being female
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense
It seems to me more like an ignorant (about transgender) and amatuer presentation, with all the misinformation from transphobes presented like a story. Realistic as a 3 dollar bill.
23:30 In Poland you need a 'good reason' to change your name. For trans people the most likely to get approved is to prove that you've been using your chosen name for quite some time.
Also, before changing the sex on your birth certificate, you can only change your name from female name to other female or unisex name or male name to other male or unisex name. And to change the sex on birth certificate you have to sue your parents and have "evidences" for your gender, e.g. hrt, surgeries, medical opinions, then court decide if your gender is valid. This could go on for ages, so most people are already years in transition before legally using their chosen name.
@igorrzeszutek4955 There is one recorded instance where a trans woman (Hanna Talczewska) changed her name without suing her parents, but yeah it's safer after changing your legal sex.
@@igorrzeszutek4955 actually it is not precisesly told by a law and whetever changin to a name of different gender then the previous ones it differs from city to city (there are actual lists for trans people where it's easiest to change name to a differently gendered one)
In Czechia, until a recent court case, you could only change your name to a gender-neutral one after starting transition. You could then get a new gendered name (along with an updated gender marker) after lower surgery, which had to include sterilization. These rules will expire in July of this year.
what defines a "good reason"?
Voices absolutely can trigger uncanny valley feelings. This qualifies. 😬
....ohhhh and of course with the lack of father figure. This is so freaking predictable.
I did not have a father figure so I decided to become one 🗿(I'm a transman)
@@meenakshinair9172 me too! raised by a single mother, didn't really like any of my uncles and only really like one of my male cousins. Transmasc! Definitely had that well....if there's no man of the house it might as well be me.
I find it funny couse the voice sounds a lot like a genuine animation youtuber i watch, but the tonation is just so dead here
I wouldn’t worry about it being potentially real - that channel looks like one of the many, many content farms that all decided to rip off Storybooth (to my knowledge the only genuine one). The UA-camr Jarvis Johnson has an awesome series where he watches a bunch of these videos and proves that they’re pretty much all fake. I highly recommend it to anyone interested!
Think it's definitely AI written, it's like a weird mix of stories online from trans women the AI probably pulled it from UA-cam videos especially when she talks about doing makeup tutorials 😸 I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be some transphobic thing
I wouldnt be surprised if the story was made to prepare for a different channel of an ai woman doing makeup tutorials, and they'd probably act like its a real video and person
I'm pretty sure this came out before that was a thing. What we're looking at is pure, 100% man made content farm garbage.
ITS NOT AI ISTG I WATCHED THIS VIDEO IN 2018
As a trans person, the closest I come to providing my dead name like that is I'll occasionally say "I used to go by [deadname]." when it's relevant, like when I'm catching up with someone that doesn't recognize me because they only knew me pre transition. Additionally, the timeline inconsistencies and language being geared to how cis people view trans people indicates that this written ai. As a trans positive story, the only way for the language to be written in that manner is if it was based on training data that includes mostly what cis people say about trans people and the timeline is a hallmark of a neural network because generative ai doesn't have memory, it just produces sentences that appear correct based on how it's trained
Living for the tato puns. 😂 Happy New Year Jamie!
Funny this should be posted today. I was trying to justify and stand up to my dad regarding trans people. He refused to listen and used the Bible and such. I eventually just put my headphones on and ignored him as he continued his rant.
i'm so sorry that happened, i hope you're ok
The Bible doesn't even say anything about trans people. Not one word. Some people use it to justify anything they already want to believe.
lol i know the feeling 🤝 so sorry
In the US, name changes are generally simpler than that. You're required to post notifications (in case you're doing so to dodge debt or something) for a month or so. Correcting your gender on legal documents can be much more difficult, though. You can get a passport with the right information, but state level rules vary widely and often prevent or heavily restrict having a new birth certificate printed. States tend to fall back on the BC, so you might have transitioned decades ago but be unable get identification with your true gender indicated.
I agree that the video was very discombobulated! And very robotic, I also think it is AI created.
I like ur profile pic! :D
The video was created before Covid, I know cuz I watched it in like 2020 or smth
I'm a little bit suspicious of Judy and James naming their kids Jasmine, Jennifer, June and Jamel.
I'll bet the father was named James Jonah Jameson.
Kraig with a k's kids were Jessika and Krystal, and hus grandchild is Kylor. I knew a family where all three kids had the same first and midfle initial, and there's always the Duggars.
@Asongbook it was more of an ethnic question. That's not to say they can't choose the name Jamel, but it's improbable.
James was right there 🤷
There's a Spider-Man character in there somewhere.
6:04 that's extra funny because in my language the game's actually called "don't get mad brother" lmao
That's funny. We call it "hurry up slowly" and our neighbor country calls it "human, don't get mad"
5:19 No, I actually agree with this one part, my friend had a younger brother and we 100% treated him like a small doll (he seemed happy enough)
it's either the little brother, the big brother, or the dad. i think playing "beauty salon day" with any masc figure in the family is a pretty common cis girl/fem kid childhood experience😂 i still remember doing my dad's hair or my brother's makeup at slumber parties with my cousins
@safirinha5582 Not in my environment, because we were all more masculine girls.
My sisters and I did that to my little brother too, at least the dress up part, and also painted his nails until our parents told us to stop XD
In my neighbourhood, all the kids were within 6 years of each other. All the girls did dress the boys up in dresses and makeup.
A couple of the boys ended up bi, but none were trans women and perhaps their queerness made them want to dress in pretty dresses and makeup with us, or maybe they wanted to just have fun.
Either way we didn’t turn them trans 😂
I am a trans guy, but I'm one who wasn't born trans. I was deffinently a little girl. I believe gender can change, and that was deffinently the case for me. I also don't call my previous name my dead name. If someone says it, I cringe, but it isn't insulting. I do know people have different experiences, and not many people feel the same way I do.
I understand how you feel. I don't consider my previous name my "deadname", tho I refer to it sometimes as such because it's just easy shorthand. It's mostly cringe to me, but I'm not out at work so I go by it every day and I probably deal better than most trans people might. I don't think I changed gender personally, but I now have a greater understanding of it; so I think of my past self as a girl/woman. I don't identify much with the typical "I always knew I was X" even tho there were probably signs that I would eventually be happier as a man.
I do think that my feelings/experience aren't typical tho, and that's probably why it took me so long from when I started questioning my gender to realize I was trans tbh
this is literally conversion therapy logic. gender doesn't change
It's certainly possible for identity to be fluid and to develop over the course of one's life. Nonbinary writer Sam Dylan Finch has said they weren't born trans, in pushing back against the overreliance on the "born this way" narrative by allies. I could also say the same, from a certain point of view. I'm agender genderfluid, and I've realized that gender identity can fluctuate on a day by day basis, or over the course of many years, or any combination thereof.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150-b9t I mean Jamie also kinds says trans people are born the way they are, which is meant to be helpful but it does make this topic a bit more... contradictory I guess
Whatever editor did the waving of the amber flag needs a raise, that was hilarious
That may be AI, no need to be so polite about it, that channel has been known to post fake stories.
Not ai, I watched the vid before 2020
I said May.
@yaboiEchogaming ai has existed since quite a bit before 2020 lmfao. a majority of these ridiculous story channels clearly use ai for their scripts, it's certainly not a stretch to assume so
Other comments have pointed out that this is fake, but id like to point out that the reason for the "Uncanny Valley" voice is because that is 100% a TTS bot or AI voice. Obviously it's not a perfect indicator, but there's normally a certain quality to transfem voices that this voice doesn't have. But yeah, the title and thumbnail alone raise soooooo much suspicion.
My stster had a preset dad, an awesome grandpa, a brother, all male friends... She still turned out very trans. I kind of connected better with girls, and I'm not trans. I tried makeup once and was like 'meh'. I don't know if we are special, but I don't think so.
I'm transfem and not into makeup. Let's just stop with the shallow stereotypes
@AnitaLichtenberg
How dare you?
:(
the weird timeline of the story looks like there was a mistake in editing it with a few scenes from further part of the video ending up earlier than it should
it should have been:
people hated her at school for not dating -> she moved to a big city -> met more people like her -> family helped her medically transition
and... I'm betting on the story itself being ai generated :P
The completely deadpan "and I love myself" was amazing
6:55 "when the older sister..." a real person with a real story to tell would have said "when my older sister"
this was one of stories of all time
Yep. Of all the stories in the world, this was one of them
Before he even said it, what was that intro😭. Ik some trans people are completely comfy sharing their deadname but immediately? Imagine this was meeting someone for the first time (as a trans person or a cis person) and they start with THAT
"hi, i'm (name) but my dead name is (dead name)" insane
At first I didn't think I had an issue with my deadname....but like the more I feel me the worse that name actually hurts me when I hear it.
My daughter did a fantastic job helping me understand this. I hope you don't run into problems too often.
From my own different experiences, I very much understand. As I'd get more and more healthy in life and self, the unhealthy parts of past life become more painful to endure when they'd come up. It surprised me, but also makes sense once I actually deconstructed it 😅
May you have a healthy, supported life as YOU. This mom (for whatever it's worth) wants only you to be YOU.
@KOKO-uu7yd Thank you so much! Your daughter sounds like a beautiful person as well. We all need more like you~
Hah. So funny watching Jamie ricochet between "This can't be real" and "this might be real, but it's weirdly written" and then back to "definitely can't be real".
Love the empathy of trying to give it as much benefit of the doubt possible while being honest about the red flags.
From the language and tone of it, I think this was made by a well meaning (but not knowledgeable) cis person with the aid of AI.
idk how "well-meaning" machine-generated industrial content slop can actually be lol. it's purely for money and views with minimum effort. they're not putting any thought into it beyond that
Not well meaning. Just a content farm.
In regards to name changes in the US: I certainly can't speak for every state, but I do live in one of the reddest states, and actually has a law prohibiting changing your gender marker on birth certificate, and I was able to initiate two name changes last year, without having any surgeries whatsoever towards my transition. For the record, that state is Kansas.
Bruh I live in Kansas... Well guess I can't change my marker any time soon!
@TheRecreator3865 I know, it sucks. I even got strong pushback from the guy at the Social Security office in Independence KS about changing my gender marker with the SSA. He insisted that I need documentation that he knows damn well can't exist.
Oh and the worst part? If you did happen to get your birth certificate gender marker changed, better not lose that copy; a replacement will revert your gender marker to your birth sex.
"I didnt have a father figure"
Well i have an older brother and my father was abusive and yet here I am a closeted nonbinary trans masc
At the very least some things in this story are odd but also i dont want to rule out they just butchered someones story without permission or something
Omg Nice plushie!!
I know a family that all have first names that start with K. Mum, dad and 3 daughters all have K names. 😂
Yeah my sister's family all havenames that start with BR
My sister's husband is Brian
Their two children are Brandy and Brandon
Brandy has a husband, Brent, and two kids Brayden and Breelie
Brandon has a wife Olivia (who no one else in my sister's family approves of*) and two kids Brexley and Breslyn
The grossest part is my sister's husband will proudly say "their names must start with BR everyone k own they belong to me!"
*Olivia is not only not accepted because of her name but because she's Hispanic and my sister's family are small town Texans and everything that implies so there's some racism in there as well
The worst example was when Brent became verbally abusive to Brandy, cheated on her and left her, my sister and her husband encouraged Brandy to forgive him and taupe him back (probably because there might have been a chance she would start dating someone who's name didn't start with BR)
I know a family with all M names- mom, dad, and 2 daughters, so less people, but their last name also starts with an M. Sadly they didn’t continue it with the middle names, but still
@@lithellylbeleth4426brrrr... That story gives me chills
Also naming a child after Brexit in the US is weird
The playground map thing is so interesting for i , a trans individual who is realizing that i might be outside the binary , havent had the experience of anyside.
Ex: i have two friends so close i called them my sisters.
I never played with anyone . But i always watched everyone on the elementary school yard. I felt like a observer more that in one group or the other
I lowkey did this in 5th grade, I just watched people play, didn’t really interact since I was busy reading
@Marshthekazorra yeah! I get what you mean. When neither of my sisters where there I just say on the curb of the concrete.
In elementary school, we mostly played make believe in mixed gender groups. At least that's the part I remember, my memory from that time isn't strong
23:07 r/BadWomensAnatomy 😂
9:36 yes, when I was like a toddler i wanted to group among guys because i viewed them more similar to me. I think Freud is right about ages and phases. When I grew up people were more mixed so there wasn’t much of a problem
14:40 I was bullied too about it :(
I think it's possible that it's a true story, but it's been edited for the audience. There are some people who, when you submit a story for their video, put it through heavy edits. But some parts are still really EWW. So, I'm not sure.
Hi Jamie,
Aussie transfemme here, where I'm from gender affirmation surgery is hard required in order to get a sex marker change. Furthermore it has to be confirmed by two medical professionals that affirtmation surgery has occured. It's not the case everywhere is australia (most notably victoria), but it is for quite a lot of it.
2:00 - I do think starting the video like this is fine. Would a trans person do that face to face, very unlikely, but for an educational video, it can be fine depending on who made it (mostly what their first language is), who the target audience is, and ofc how comfortable the person is with starting the video like that.
As the oldest of my siblings: still trans.
This is really cringe. In my state in the US, I had no problems getting a name change at least before I had any surgeries. I can't speak for other states. The stereotypes were all there. Referring to herself as a guy is just bizarre.
Yeahhhhh I don’t think this was written by a trans person at all.
I don't think this was written by a person in general
I think it's out of order - literally.
I remember that I littrly wrote a story about a teenage girl who got bullied when we had to write a few pages for swedish in like 8:th grade. My teacher was like, "You made it so belevitable." Yeah, I am swedish.
I feel you madam, same thing here I wrote a story but it was a German being bullied as I am German
For anyone wondering: this is a fake story produced by one of many animated storytime content farm channels that popped up a few years ago (don’t remember exactly when, but it was probably pre-pandemic). I say this because a lot of people in the comments think it’s ai and while they’re on the right track the “real story” channels predate ai tools as we know them.
Edit: from what I can tell and what I remember, almost every channel that claims to animate/narrate viewer submitted stories is fake. If you want real animated stories, the only channel I’d say you can trust would be Storybooth, since it was the channel all the content farms copied.
13:29 i understand that it feels a little AI, but i also think it sounds like a translated story . There is a chance the person who originally wrote it didn't speak English and it was translated without local dialect taken into account.
That could be true, but these "animted story" channels are almost always fake stories. The low-quality, quick to produce animation is a giveaway to that kind of low-effort content
I love watching these videos while questioning my own mortality
Yeah this whole story does just sound like an AI’s interpretation of gender representation. Side note; why she built like a One Piece character?!
NB transmasc that had a femme era here: No, my sisters did not help me with makeup except when I asked and only for specific questions. My roommates asked if I wanted to do hair and makeup more often than any sibling with an interest in makeup did! We were supposed to figure that stuff out on our own. Turns out that I don't really like that stuff much but that's only because it takes talent that I can't be bothered to develop.
I wonder if the person who made this animated video doesn't speak English as their native language. It could potentially explain some of the weird word choices/sentence structures and simplification of things.
It's AI written. The place the story is from is known for using AI to write stories or heavily edit existing ones. Hints the weird wording
Aaah thats my im trans. Too much fairy soup and prawn cocktail crisps
All the trans men thinking of that yorkie bar
Optimistically I would say that this is a fictional story written by a hopefully well-meaning cis straight person. Kind of rub me the wrong way that just because she's a trans woman it was automatically presumed that she would only be attracted to men "The way a normal woman would".
I swear it sounds AI
Firstly, Happy New Year Jamie, hope it's been great so far!! I love your videos!
Secondly, as for name changing in the States (I'm from a northern state), you don't have to be trans to be able to legally change your name, depending on the state you live in, the fee to change your name varies, but if you're of limited/low-income, you can get an IPF form to fill out instead of the 'regular' name change form, which can reduce the fee or waive it completely. You'll also have to a hearing at your local courthouse with 2 people as your jury/witnesses, which can consist of family/relative(s), your spouse, and/or close friend(s).
I'm currently in the process of getting my name legally changed finally after almost a decade of finding *my* name, as it's my first "big boy purchase" goal for 2025.
^Hope the info above helped a little bit.
just so you know, those kind of animated stories are usually fake and meant to be exaggerated (although they're still framed as "true stories", most of the time)
GAHHH I DON'T HAVE 20 DOLLARS FOR POTATO PLUSHIES JAMMIE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME :sob:
After watching too many of these videos when I was younger I can say that I really don't think any of them are real at all. The things that happen in these stories are way too insane and sometimes they even repeat the same story again but just change the character from female to male. The stories can be quite fun but only if you don't really take them seriously. A lot of people watch them to laugh about how ridiculous they are. When they do decide to do something on a realistic topic, its often overexaggerated or talked about in an inaccurate way in order to make it more entertaining and interesting to watch.
Omg the spud puns!! 🥰 I’m dying 😂
Thanks Jammi for those puns lol.
It feels like someone wrote out their long transition story and ask AI to summarise it
Please…it’s not ai, the video came out in 2020 😭😭😭
@yaboiEchogaming and open AI has been a thing since 2015
@@allidwalker better yet Birth of AI: 1950-1956
21:00 This is the part where it feels like an AI wrote it. This is exactly the kind of logical hiccup AI tends to do. It writes a coherent story and then suddenly out of left field comes "they hated gay people" in a story about being trans.
Pretty sure this is all bs written by AI.
This is a very real story... about how people who have no idea about those things imagine they work.
The Uncanny Valley can occur with any mismatch. It could be imagery and voice, voice and cadence, visual and cadence, an obvious machine with human body language, the reverse-- you name it. It's valid regardless.
As far as I'm aware, you can legally change your name at 18 here in the US, but like anything else, it can vary state by state.
Im only 3 min in, why does it feel like someone put "tell me a trans coming out story" in Al and thats the result 😭
About legal part: In Poland it actually is reportedly (I'm not that far in transition) difficult to get any bottom surgery befor legal sex correction
In Wisconsin were I was born, you HAVE to bottom surgery before you allowed to change your sex marker on your (amended) birth certificate. Yeah, they want to sterilize you.
21:24 yeah, if anything the character has implied they are aroace. It’s strangely segmented at best-💔Dess
hey i remember that thumbnail
I haven't watched this all the way through yet, still watching it. However, I'm getting a real strong sense that this story didn't actually happen
As someone who has read a lot of forces femme stuff (only way a young repressed me knew how to interact with my gender identity) this pretty sure this is just one of those
This is either fully AI, a cis person looking up being trans, or it's someone's real experience that they input into an AI, and told it to make a cohesive script, but it obviously messed up or there wasn't enough detail in the original story.
Of course it could also be a completely real story, but the stereotypes and phrasing makes me doubt that a lot. It seems like one of those storytime channels that just make up stories.
No male influence? No teachers, neighbours, uncles, policemen, did they not watch any movies with male lead characters?
Guys the video can’t be AI. It’s almost 10 years old and if you pay attention, you can hear the change in expression sigh’s, and breaths in the voice I’m not saying the story is real though that’s definitely completely fake 😂
In the US you can change your name to anything regardless of gender. As long as you're not doing it to avoid debt or prosecution of some manner.
In the US, you can start the process to legally change your name whenever you want! Cis or trans, changing your given name or your family name, for any reason other than evading the law. There's a small fee, a hearing with a judge (I don't know if you need this to take a married name), and a bunch of red tape. It would be harder to change your gender legally, I don't know what the procedure for that would be.
The storyteller might be an ai voice, it has the weird sentence stops.
And that makes me think the story itself might be ai too (especially with all the other odd things)
The entire thing feels AI generated
If it weren't for the channel it was from, I'd suspect it to be the case of:
100 people submitted their story
1 got selected
They edited this person's story down to what they wanted it to sound like
And publish!
the story also wasn't in english so they used google making it confusing when they edited down
I had a mix of girl and boy friends growing up, had mostly female teachers, mostly talked to my mom, and had 2 younger sisters and 1 younger brother. I'm a trans man though despite all the feminine influences I had
I just got delivered your book yesterday
AI voice, AI script. Impressive if the video was also done with AI.
looks so shitty it just might be
I watched it during covid, there’s no way it’s ai
@yaboiEchogaming voice cloning has been around since 1998. Just because you saw it before chatgpt doesn't change what I said.
it's hard to change your name in the US and even harder to change your gender marker. for the gender marker, there ARE requirements for how long you have to be living as the gender you are changing your marker to. most states have not added a gender neutral marker. therefore you would have to be living as the "opposite sex" and be changing your gender marker as such.
23:58 that’s the way I did it actually, currently in that last stage. At least for me in the U.S it just takes forever to get everything in order, so honestly getting myself feeling more comfortable in my body had to take priority over dealing with the bureaucracy of it all😵💫 I socially changed my name of course, but that last legal name change+ updating gender marking step does tend to be like the big last step, at least from the trans folk I know. But that is just my experience.
I have 4 older sisters, and they did dress me up. Had absolutely 0% effect on my sexuality/gender
Man i just love those content farm channels, this totally best video I've even seen from a channel like that
My mom lovesssssssss to do that beginning introduction for me then doesn't understand why it hurts me. Also as a trans girl, this video is soooo hard to watch. I am actively clenching my teeth every time I hear the stereotypes. The story is clearly written by a cis person who does not understand how being trans works and it feels targetted. I hope this narrative can fade away :c
Edit: I was also in an all boy family so I don't understand the only feminine influences thing. It also sounds like it follows the trans medicalist beliefs which is yucky
I think re social influence, the video made it seem like the person was trans because they were bullied for their interest in feminine things (ie. the boys at school saying 'you're a girl' and making fun of the person for painting their nails, make up, etc.) into thinking they couldn't be a feminine boy/man and were, therefore, a trans girl/woman rather than that it was the influence of their sisters. But that's just my opinion
That’s what the video implied, but that isn’t how being born trans actually works.
Ok, I'm only 3 minutes in......this is almost definitely voiced by an AI. there's a weird intonation to the voice. Kinda creepy
I've now reached the end. I'm 100% convinced this entire thing was made up by AI. the voice is fake, the story barely sticks to 1 point and is out of order....even family members disappear (4 older sisters suddenly become 2 sisters and a mum). I'm calling bullshit
23:39 nope, I changed my name almost a year ago but I’m not old enough to even start medically transitioning so I have no idea what the story is talking about 😭
12:03 Why is she more worred about what people will think about nail polish vs. a full face of makeup? it really is like an uncanny valley story. It's written like a fanfic from a newbie writer about a slice of life story.
