i'm kind of convinced that transphobia partly stems from a critical inability to understand that other people want different things. i have genuinely heard arguments against trans people and transitionary care that narrows down to "well i wouldn't want to transition" yes Janice, that's because you aren't trans. the same thing happens with homophobia "why would a man ever want to sleep with a man when women are so beautiful" because they aren't you.
Some people legitimately don't understand that other people are entire people worn full separate lives and experiences from them. They appear to think that the other people they encounter are literal NPCs, only spawning into existence and becoming activated when an interaction begins.
Yes exactly. This is why they harp so much on the idea that children are being forced/deceived/pressured into "thinking they're trans", because it's the only way they could ever see themselves being "trans", and they seem terminally unable to imagine that other people might feel differently. It's like they lack a Theory of Mind.
For a cis person, transitioning would be extremely distressing, so they project their feelings about it onto us. Because everything always has to be about them.
One of my ex girlfriends was a trans woman, my family was trying to be homophobic, and transphobic, and instead kept insisting she would never be a "real" man, she goes well gee I hope not. My family was so confused.
That’s hilarious! I’m assuming they thought she was AFAB and was planning on transitioning to male then? It says a lot that they actually accepted her as a woman, not realizing she wasn’t born that way. Phobes can be so accidentally funny.
While not meant as a transphobic comment, I've had a co-worker carefully ask me if I was trans and when I said I was she just went "What a shame!! That's such a shame!! You are such a beautiful girl, why change that!?" and I was standing there like "Yea...that's kind of the point...." It turned out she had gotten very confused after seeing me take my hormone pill a little earlier that day, which I was on due to a shortage of hormone patches that I normally used, so she went "Eh...no? I saw you taking the contraceptive pill this morning" (same kind of square strip with rounded edges with the days of the week marked on them) and I had to explain those were my hormones :P . Another time a woman who had an appointment with our housekeeper was waiting in the hallway and asked me if I could fix the zipper of her dress because it had to be put into some kind of pouch but she had failed to get it in there so her dress kept partially unzipping itself. Later, when the person she had an appointment with had shown up and she was walking away, I overheard her asking if I was trans, and the housekeeper said I was, and I could hear her asking "If I had already become very rowdy because of the hormones, because that's what boys in puberty do as well right?" and the housekeeper explained I was going the other way :P. Before the door (self-closing one) shut I could only hear a surprised: "She was born a boy? Like how!?" As much as I felt she was confused because of my voice, oh did it feel validating to have people think you are going the opposite direction :P .
@@ashleecallard2385Transphobic people aren't very smart, and think that we address trans people by their assigned sex too, so when we say "trans woman" they think that means trans men, and when we say "trans man" they think it means trans woman lmaoooo. They cannot get out of the way of their own stupidity even if it'd actually help their bigotry be more successful.
I feel like many transphobic people don't realize that "trans man/woman" refers to what you identify as *now*, not how you were assigned at birth. Which--I dunno, let's not tell them?
I mean, it seems fairly obvious. If you identify as a man, of course you're not going to call yourself any kind of woman and vice versa. But I guess logic just isn't the transphobes' area of strength.
There are intersex cis men who get period cramps and some bleed, I am like on support forums for intersex people and like there a lot of people that go through this. A lot of them are fucking terrified to tell anyone because they feel ashamed about it, when they shouldn't be. Very nice video.
@@saje239 cisgender reffers to your assigned sex at birth(amab or afab) being the same as your gender identity Intersex cis men are just intersex men who are amab
@@saje239 Intersex people will frequently have a gender literally chosen for them at birth and get “corrective” surgeries to appear as the sex traditionally associated with that gender. So, an intersex cis man would be someone who was “corrected” to appear male as an infant and who turned out to be a man. There are also some intersex people who don’t show signs of their condition until puberty. In that case, an intersex cis man would be someone who appeared to be an endosex (non-intersex) male at birth (and was assigned gender accordingly) and who turned out to be a man but also found out he had an intersex condition.
also the phenomenon of men being shamed for not being manly enough and woman being shamed for not being womanly enough. Like a transgirl could very well grow up being told that theyre really a woman cuz shes "a poor excuse for a man" until she transitions and the bigots turn around 180 degrees. its madness.
@@ceryxfigmenti5377 omg yes, I watch a ton of videos of people reacting to transphobes and other weirdos, and whenever they talk about how an "actual woman" is nurturing and wants kids and whatnot I get a tiny bit of gender euphoria cause apparently I really am a guy ^_^
And the enby bonus of "You'll never be [AGAB]", like yeah, I know, _sputtering noises_ "you'll never be [other binary gender]", yeah, I know, *commence rage* 😂
I'm curious how many trans people feel it's at least partly about ingrained cultural norms for each gender. If society had no gender roles, how many people would still feel the need to transition physically, if they can go out in drag as if it was just everyday clothing for everyone? Or would it have no effect on the numbers at all because it is all about feeling wrong in a person's own skin?
I just finished your book, I figured out I’m a trans dude literally last month (happy Pride I guess) and your book helped this clueless 33-year-old baby trans a lot 😅
If someone tries to misgender me it'll be hilarious (I'm nonbinary). Transphobe: You'll never be a man. Me: Uhh, thanks? Transphobe: You'll never be a woman? Me: Thanks again? Transphobe: ???
That’s cool. What about those who go by sex? “Hurr well we could just not tell them” by that logic you can’t use my name because I could just lie about it. :T a woman is an adult human female. Jamie is a woman
@@DinosaurNick I literally made the opposite of that point but ok. Lol my point here is that saying you can’t tell so you have to go by gender is like saying you can’t go by name because I could be lying about it.
I mean... trans or not, men CAN breastfeed. All human beings are born with the capability to develop working mamary glands. As a Trans man myself, I had those tissues removed so I can no longer to that, but cis women, trans men, trans women and cis men can all lactate under the right conditions.
@@transwomenarentrealwomen290 You could make a male start lactating if you screw with their hormones enough. We are, indeed, biologically capable of it.
@@kitfreyisacat With the right hormonal trigger - which sometimes occurs naturally - cisgender males can produce natural, viable breast milk. That's part of what defines us as mammals. We all have the same underlying structure. And recently the breast milk produced by AMAB people who are using lactation-inducing treatments (the exact same ones used by cisgender women) has been thoroughly tested for nutrition, toxins, etc, and found to be biologically identical to cis women's breast milk. Biology is weird and cool in a whole bunch of ways they never had the time to teach us in high school.
It's a bit off topic, but: I thought I'd never be able to read your book, since my parents are extremely transphobic (I'm not even out to them). But this year we went to Rome (as a class) and I visited a book store with a few classmates and in the English section (that was impressively big) I found your book, and got the last copy they had in stock. I've just started reading it, whenever my parents aren't around and I love it
@@vanta7154Hi, vanta, I’m a Mom to a lovely trans adult, and I’ve always been an ally to the community. Come out when you are safe, and here’s a virtual hug, if you want one:🤗 😊
I had the bathroom discussion with my dad yesterday. I could not convince him, but he had so many accidental ally moments that I still forgive him. He just doesn't understand yet...
I know people who are pretty much allies but don’t really “get” the whole thing, and to them I would describe it as what someone is vs WHO someone is. I don’t know if a trans person would take issue with that framing, but I’m dumbing down for the laymen. I also say that gender dysphoria is as real and diagnosable as something like BPD, and we know that to expect say a kid with bipolar to act the same as their peers in every circumstance is just unrealistic at best and cruel at worst
I haven't told mine yet. He's made it very clear that I'm not allowed in the bathroom that does not correspond with my agab, and he misgenders me on purpose as a punishment. Guess what? I use whichever tf bathroom I want when he's not around, and I have friends who defend my pronoun usage no matter who misgenders me.
I would love all bathrooms just having these labels: -stalls -urinals -changing table -disabled friendly/barrier free Maybe even -kids sized stalls/ sinks
And yes, I do think for privacy reasons the urinals should only habe urinals and sinks, but that room should be a third of the other, because they take up less space. Also there should be diapers, wipes, tampons and pads in every non urinal bathroom, if not for free, than at least in an dispenser. (Correctly if I’m wrong, but there aren’t people with penises and periods, right? At least for cleaning up purposes, they wouldn’t go to an urinal, right?)
@@larissalweller Some intersex people may have both a penis and a period that involves blood, but yeah no way you're taking care of that business at a urinal out in the open. EDIT: actually, I guess some trans men may too.
I'm not Transgender, but my mum taught me how to change a car tyre because my parents had divorced when I was 4 and someone had to teach me. This was in 1989. Mum had learned to be self-sufficient long before she re-married. She also taught me how to change a headlamp. That cartoon is just stupid!
Yeah, my dad made me learn to change a tire before he would teach me to drive. It's an important skill for people of all genders. Although I can see why the woman in the pink dress wouldn't want to do it in that outfit, if someone else was willing to help her.
In my driver's Ed class the females were the ones made to change a tire, check the oil in front of the class because the male teachers wanted us to be knowledgeable and able to do some of the work ourselves. I guess they assumed the males would likely already know.
@@CLJlovesmal that's definitely an unfair assumption. I can change a headlamp, a tyre and an alternator, but I know nothing about changing oil. I know there are women who do know more than I do. I know two Gay men who could change a transmission on a car. So many people don't fit into the stereotypes. It's a wonder why the stereotypes persist!
My sister (45) is very trans/homophobic so we don't often talk about that stuff, even though I'm trans and bi. A few weeks ago we were in the car together and seeing a very cool looking pedestrian I said, "Wow, they are serving enby chaos!" My sister loses it a bit railing about all these new labels and she that didn't even know what I was saying because I was using all these made up words. I repeated slowly and she realized that she merely didn't follow and imagined me talking in some weird queer code because I was referring to a gender non-conforming person. I then made fun of her for being old and not understanding what "serving" means. (And she does know what enby/NB/non-binary means as she works with youth.) The phobes are so sensitive about things and imagine offense and weirdness even when none exists.
@SlavusOwnerus Oh wow. You have multiple profiles and you copy and paste your comment, with typos between them. That's showing everyone isn't it! Course, you gotta question what exactly you are are showing. Lmao You keep doing you bud. You make the universe a funnier place.
My guess on the "cis men are trans women" ect. post is that someone told them that cis is the opposite of trans and they thoroughly misinterpreted what that meant.
As a cisgender bisexual woman I just have to say this, I love trans men and they deserve the upmost positive attention from everyone! They're underrepresented and underappreciated by lots of people as shown in this video unfortunately. These people would obviously be cruel towards trans people no matter what because they're transphobes but they seem to be even rougher on trans men. That is when they actually acknowledge the existence of trans men, which doesn't seem to be often unfortunately... these people are absolute numbskulls...
@@timflanders5017 most people are attracted to someone's personality, since you wouldn't know what genitals someone has in a normal encounter unless you're being weird
@@timflanders5017my little sister had better reading comprehension when she was FIVE. go rewatch the video, specifically the part about sexuality and genitals, then go reread the comment again. If you don’t see it after that, I’ll make one of those elementary school assignments that ask you what each line is trying to say. Then maybe you’ll understand it
I'm honestly more concerned about the 'manly' (which is laughable because threatening to beat someone up does not equate to man) Guys that threaten trans people when it comes to using the bathroom than I am about the person using the toilet. I've had intense discussions with transphobes about how unsafe they make me feel for threatening others. And I'm not trans but I will die on this hill when I say that Trans men are men. Trans women are women.
Yeah, some people who get aggressive at the drop of a hat don't seem to understand that that makes them a threat to EVERYONE. Like, no dude/dudette, you are not being "protective" by blowing up at every opportunity, you are being scary!
Look, I've been flashed in a women's locker room before... by a ciswoman. I knew the person by reputation too. She was well known for being deeply unstable and had been thrown out of the local homeless shelter for physically assaulting another woman and posting a racist tirade on the bulletin board. After removing her clothes where we were all forced to see her, she said (tw: graphic racism) "this is better than a Vietcong monkey c*nt isn't it?" She was visibly drunk too. Point being, people who do things like this are deeply unwell and should not be in any locker room period: regardless of their anatomy. I have also been threatened by a ciswoman to prove I was a "real woman" or she'd call the police. I'm AFAB nonbinary. I usually use the women's bathrooms because they have the special bins for period products. I'm perfectly happy to use the men's, and sometimes I have. Unfortunately, I have also been assaulted in a men's bathroom and that incident resulted in physical injuries as well as emotional ones.
It actually makes somes sense when you realize that these transphobes are really just baselessly projecting their own predatory habits on trans people. They're worried cis men would attack women in the women's restroom because THEY would attack women (cis or trans) in the women's restroom.
This is very unrelated but I just wanted to say٫ it makes me so happy to be able to hear your voice while watching your videos. My family used to be really homophobic/transphobic and I would watch your videos in secret with captions and no sound
Whenever people try to propose new bathroom laws because of their theoretical crimes, I always point out that existing laws already cover that. And these laws apply no matter what gender the perpetrator or victim are. So the problem is solved and we can move along.
If there are already laws on the books that cover various crimes, why do the alphabet people demand that they be given special treatment under the law when dealing with basically anything? Alphabet people don't want equal rights, they want special rights.
@@timflanders5017 What special treatment? To take a piss in the correct bathroom? To get care for a debilitating birth defect? To be given a fair chance at literally any opportunity in life? Gee, that's really special.
@@timflanders5017 People say this, but they never actually say what special rights people are asking for. Going to the bathroom without harassment is not some special right.
@@maddyhatter5807 and a woman. An adult human female. :T why do you struggle so much with me using a different definition? I’m starting to think “transphobicl just means “doesn’t do as I say”
i don't understand the "this sexuality is only attracted to this genital" thing. I've been attracted to lots of people i haven't seen the genitals of. i didn't check before i allowed myself to be attracted to them.
I think that’s just a bi perk😅 For some people the genitalia do matter for compatibility reasons and not just physically. Imo it’s all about what a person is comfortable with.

I "love" how the "anything goes" meme shows two instances of polyamory, but both of them involve one man with multiple women but neither is multiple men with one woman.
Also, "then there would be same-sex couples!" Even if they're stretching it to mean same-sex marriage - pretty sure that particular horse is way, way out of the barn in most places.
Technically cis men CAN breastfeed. It doesn't normally happen naturally though it has in cases where the mother was lost in traumatic fashion but we have the parts and the hormone shots exist to allow them to be used for that purpose.
I was having a conversation about LGBT+ stuff with my grandma who’s trying really hard to learn but definitely still has a lot of work to do and she tried the “but you can always tell” line for trans folks (specifically trans men) and I showed her photos of you, Ty Turner, and some others because y’all don’t fit into her idea of what a trans person looks like and damn that was hella effective! She immediately retracted her statement and acknowledged that “I guess you really have no idea someone’s story just looking at them” and I call that progress…even though the following comments weren’t quite ideally worded she was willing to be proven wrong and learn.
A friend of mine who is not transphobic (and recently became a dad) once asked what the whole thing with body characteristics is like so I gave a brief explanation of how some people say they can always tell. I decided to show him a picture of a transwoman next to someone else and asked which of the two he thought was trans, and he picked the wrong one, by saying "I mean, I'd go with her because of the jawline I guess?" and he was mortified when he found out that something so small was still putting him on the path of "That's how you can tell" even though he explicitly stated that now that he has become a dad, he felt "feeling ready to die on whatever hill if someone tries his or her best to make my child unhappy now or in the future!" He felt bad for making the mistake, and understood really well how dangerous the idiotic discussion about body characteristics because of that single example I gave him.
Is it just me or is the pizza slowly falling somehow Edit: Yes it was higher up and different rotation in the LGballT video, Jamie go save your glowing pizza
What kills me about the "who should be using what bathroom" debate is that, I'm transmasc but I don't feel comfortable using the men's restroom. And I hate that one of my co workers got onto me twice about using them. I'm not even really attracted to women I just gotta piss 😩 most people leave it be because I'm no-op and only was on T for a year. But men's bathrooms are unsafe for trans people, especially for those of us who don't pass. So yes. I'll continue using women's bathrooms despite not being a woman. What are you gonna do, tell me to not piss? Die
Here in the U.S. State of Florida, laws have been recently which, among other things, restricts bathroom use on most publicly-owned establishments based on your AGAB -- not even your I.D., so fun thought experiment for verifying an allegation -- but privately-owned establishments can permit it (but also are enabled to discriminate if someone leverages an aforementioned allegation). So here I am, not even half a year into treatments, completely out at work, and both torn between the bathroom my government would force me to use and the bathroom my coworkers would expect me to use, but I'm just kinda vibing the unfettered freedom of having a fallback if the one toilet seat I'm used to is occupied.
There should just be a gender neutral bathroom in every establishment. Even if theres already mens & womens toilets in place, & joining them together would be too big a hassle, just add it as another option.
@@Junebilation7900We should really just join them. Maybe then cis men would learn some hygiene rules and father's would have no issues attending to their kids who need diaper changes. Let's just be honest: in any circumstances where there's mixed toilets, there's only ever been one issue: People with poor hygiene and social conduct making things difficult for everyone else. I'd like us to stop misplacing problems on gender AND I'd like us to stop framing women's toilet's as safe spaces. I blasted want everything to be a safe space and not see my safety confined to THAT space. If abusers stopped at that door, then they're very clearly capable of understanding abuse and bloody learn how to stop being abusive sh*ts! 😤 I don't mind all gender toilets. I don't even mind if some desperate ppl start taking that as an opportunity to have intercourse (..... big fat "EW" in terms of hygiene). As long as they clean up their mess 😂
I’m so confused lol do you not pass to use the men‘s restroom? If that’s the case then why does it matter if you’re using the women‘s restroom? As long as you pass and aren’t being a creep then no one should have a problem
Yeah, some say trans people are confused and yep, I AM confused about what bathroom I should use as a trans man who just started coming out to a few people and who hasn't done any other transitioning. To keep using the women's restrooms in places where some people know I'm a guy (like at the office) feels weird. Using the men's restrooms would feel weirder XD
i love that it's so easy for people to say the correct pronouns that they often do it by accident. it's not that it's hard for them to remember, they're just being an asshole
I remember a video which was, I think, Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder, where one of them started talking about Laverne Cox. The other one was like, "Who's that?" and he said, "She - I mean, he's a TV actor." Hmmm. It's almost like when even an aggressive transphobe looks at Laverne Cox, even when they know she's trans, she still reads as a woman. But "they can always tell".
5:15 If the “problem with 2023” is women doing mechanical work, no-one tell them about 1943, which is when my grandmother joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service and learned how to fix fighter plane engines.
i very recently started T and after my shot my mom walks into my room and says "congrats on your last day of being a woman." i was stunned. just her saying that made me realize that she had seen me as a girl even though ive been out as a trans man for over a year. it was hard to explain to her that what she had just said hurt. she had been passively trying to get me to be more feminine over the past year because im guessing she doesnt want to lose a daughter. 😐 what should i do to make her see me as more masculine?

According to a quick google search, which used the Oxford English Dictionary, gender comes from the Latin word genus, not genital. It’s definition also specifically states it’s the social aspects of male and female unrelated to the biological
Imagine being raised as a child. Not a girl, not a boy - a child. You get to play with anything you want, you get to wear any clothes you are comfortable in, you don't have to behave to match stereotypes (because there are none), you get to watch any cartoons you like, you get to pick up any hobby and so on. The topic of genitals is left for later in life - you are taught about genetics and chromosomes and you know what type of puberty you are "preset" to hit. And here you get to make a choice - if you're OK with it or not. welp, maybe in a hundred years.
I like your channel and I do agree with what you're saying, it's unfair for cis-people to thrash at trans-people because of their differences. I been transitioning for little over three years, getting my breast augmentation on the 7th of August, can't wait for the surgeries to be done because I been waiting for years.
The sexual attraction one is so weird to me. Like I do get having a preference in genital type, but it’s not about that. If I get a partner, I want a woman. I’m attracted to women. I don’t care what she’s got between her legs
@StopLBGT-uj1gc I really hope youtube bots were the one to highlight this reply. because otherwise thats really disgusting to condone that kind of talk. free speach and all so you do you ig :/
I wore a pronoun pin a few years back with my agab before I really realized I was nonbinary, and had to stop wearing it after awhile because people would acknowledge the pin and intentionally misgender me. It got really uncomfortable- not so much because of being misgendered, but more because people got really nasty about it. And this was a few years ago, before trans issues really became the "big thing".
Ignore starlight. She’s a homophobic gay basher who tried to call me out because I didn’t like the person who kept saying I’m not really gay then called me a woman after I specifically said it wasn’t my gender. Yea, a true hypocrite

if we had gap-less toilet stalls in america i'm not sure that the bathroom issue would be as large as it is here. it's incredibly awkward to make eye contact with someone through the door gap or to have to push someone's child back under the bottom of the stall when you're just trying to do your business, so i'd say there are a multitude of non-creeper related issues that could be fixed with some floor to ceiling stalls. as for someone going in to hypothetically take pictures, there's no magic barrier that stops cisgendered people from doing that, matching toilet designation or not, so we should make stalls private.
Good points. I hate stalls here. Also, men's urinals often have no barriers at all, let alone tall enough ones ..... Uncomfy Also, 'cisgender people' or 'cispeople' are often easier words to say than cisgender-ed.

The comment on not gendering kids reminded me of a manga I found a couple years ago. The world building of it was that no one had a proper gender or genetalia until around middle school usually at the latest. The mc was in their last year of high school and still hadn't chosen a gender. Biggest conflicts seemed to be the love triangle with their best friends (a boy and girl) and the pressure to chose a gender for health reasons because apparently not doing so would kill them. A couple interesting things was in a couple of the flashback scenes the girl best friend presented as a boy when super young before she solidified her gender. I did like how the mc kept resisting the choice because they didn't feel comfortable with either presentation. What I didn't like was how their friends kept trying to pressure them into being one gender or the other so they could date the opposite sex best friend. I never finished it because despite liking the concept, how it actually read rubbed me the wrong way. Along with the fact most of the stories I've read with a gender flopping mc and girl/boy love interests, the mc is going to settle on being a girl to be with the boy, and I was tired of the trope. I know there's another comic on Webtoon with a similar concept, but where everyone is born with two bodies and they have to settle on one at 21, but I haven't gotten very far in that one yet, so I couldn't say much more.

@@trevorchester4439 not so much. If you're going to troll, then you really need to make more effort. You're aiming to get under someone's skin, not make them think you're pathetic.
I love the whole "I can't be transphobic, trans people don't exist!" Like, just off the top of my head, I can think of at least three things wrong with that statement besides "transphobia is bad". I feel like if I were a transphobe I would at least try to be a bit smarter, yeah?
I love this sub because it shows how paper thin the logic of transphobia is, and a battle fought with the enemy stationed on shaky ground, is one that can be won.
I had a bit of a frustrating conversation with my mom after Fox News announced a possible law to arreset/fine people for misgendering someone. She seemed to think if you did it once you went to jail, and I tried to explain the law more than likely is referring to when people purposely and maliciously refuse to use the person’s preferred pronouns over and over and over again. She then went on to complain about if someone wants to be a he or a she that’s fine, but if someone wants to go by neither she will call them it. I told her that was offensive and that if they want to be called they/them just use that, and then she proclaimed they/them was plural only despite how I know she uses singular they in normal talk. She refused to believe me when I said singular they was older than plural they, and that the first known recorded use of singular they was from the 13th century. I can barely understand the refusal to be kind to trans/non-binary people, but out right refusing common language and insisting it cannot change just baffles me.
@@trevorchester4439 you seem to have a lot of hate in you, and I’m sorry you have to deal with whatever hardships that are causing such hatred. You deserve to be happy like everyone else. Just like trans people deserve to be happy. I doubt you would like it if people were constantly insisting you weren’t the gender you identify as, and purposely said or did things to hurt you purely because they don’t like things that are different. I hope that you grow to be a better and more understanding person
i'm kind of convinced that transphobia partly stems from a critical inability to understand that other people want different things. i have genuinely heard arguments against trans people and transitionary care that narrows down to "well i wouldn't want to transition" yes Janice, that's because you aren't trans. the same thing happens with homophobia "why would a man ever want to sleep with a man when women are so beautiful" because they aren't you.
Some people legitimately don't understand that other people are entire people worn full separate lives and experiences from them. They appear to think that the other people they encounter are literal NPCs, only spawning into existence and becoming activated when an interaction begins.
Yes exactly. This is why they harp so much on the idea that children are being forced/deceived/pressured into "thinking they're trans", because it's the only way they could ever see themselves being "trans", and they seem terminally unable to imagine that other people might feel differently. It's like they lack a Theory of Mind.
For a cis person, transitioning would be extremely distressing, so they project their feelings about it onto us. Because everything always has to be about them.
To those right wigners, conformity must be established in their ideal world.
According to Jamie and other trans, transphobia is the rejection of alphabet people delusion and instead supporting reality.
One of my ex girlfriends was a trans woman, my family was trying to be homophobic, and transphobic, and instead kept insisting she would never be a "real" man, she goes well gee I hope not. My family was so confused.
That’s hilarious! I’m assuming they thought she was AFAB and was planning on transitioning to male then? It says a lot that they actually accepted her as a woman, not realizing she wasn’t born that way. Phobes can be so accidentally funny.
While not meant as a transphobic comment, I've had a co-worker carefully ask me if I was trans and when I said I was she just went "What a shame!! That's such a shame!! You are such a beautiful girl, why change that!?" and I was standing there like "Yea...that's kind of the point...."
It turned out she had gotten very confused after seeing me take my hormone pill a little earlier that day, which I was on due to a shortage of hormone patches that I normally used, so she went "Eh...no? I saw you taking the contraceptive pill this morning" (same kind of square strip with rounded edges with the days of the week marked on them) and I had to explain those were my hormones :P .
Another time a woman who had an appointment with our housekeeper was waiting in the hallway and asked me if I could fix the zipper of her dress because it had to be put into some kind of pouch but she had failed to get it in there so her dress kept partially unzipping itself.
Later, when the person she had an appointment with had shown up and she was walking away, I overheard her asking if I was trans, and the housekeeper said I was, and I could hear her asking "If I had already become very rowdy because of the hormones, because that's what boys in puberty do as well right?" and the housekeeper explained I was going the other way :P.
Before the door (self-closing one) shut I could only hear a surprised: "She was born a boy? Like how!?"
As much as I felt she was confused because of my voice, oh did it feel validating to have people think you are going the opposite direction :P .
@@keirfarnum6811 yea, they assumed she was going male, even though I specifically introduced her as my girlfriend.
@@ashleecallard2385Transphobic people aren't very smart, and think that we address trans people by their assigned sex too, so when we say "trans woman" they think that means trans men, and when we say "trans man" they think it means trans woman lmaoooo. They cannot get out of the way of their own stupidity even if it'd actually help their bigotry be more successful.
I feel like many transphobic people don't realize that "trans man/woman" refers to what you identify as *now*, not how you were assigned at birth. Which--I dunno, let's not tell them?
Either they don't know, or they do know and insist that it's wrong.
Oh you can try to tell them, I think they’ll just ignore it. Being trans isn’t a choice but being ignorant is
They still can’t figure out the difference between drag and trans, we can tell them anything they won’t learn
I mean, it seems fairly obvious. If you identify as a man, of course you're not going to call yourself any kind of woman and vice versa. But I guess logic just isn't the transphobes' area of strength.
@@Philemaphobia Hell a lot of them can't tell the difference between butch and trans.
There are intersex cis men who get period cramps and some bleed, I am like on support forums for intersex people and like there a lot of people that go through this. A lot of them are fucking terrified to tell anyone because they feel ashamed about it, when they shouldn't be.
Very nice video.
I thought cis referred to gender and sex being the same. Under that definition, a person can’t be intersex and cis. What does cis mean?
@saje239 maybe OP was AMAB?
@@saje239 cisgender reffers to your assigned sex at birth(amab or afab) being the same as your gender identity
Intersex cis men are just intersex men who are amab
@@saje239 Intersex people will frequently have a gender literally chosen for them at birth and get “corrective” surgeries to appear as the sex traditionally associated with that gender. So, an intersex cis man would be someone who was “corrected” to appear male as an infant and who turned out to be a man.
There are also some intersex people who don’t show signs of their condition until puberty. In that case, an intersex cis man would be someone who appeared to be an endosex (non-intersex) male at birth (and was assigned gender accordingly) and who turned out to be a man but also found out he had an intersex condition.
@@saje239Doctors will either assign you AMAB or AFAB solely based on what the baby looks like. There is no assigned intersex at birth
Before you pas: “you’ll never be ”
After you pass: “you’ll never be .” They have no idea what they’re trying to say, they just wanna be hurtful
also the phenomenon of men being shamed for not being manly enough and woman being shamed for not being womanly enough. Like a transgirl could very well grow up being told that theyre really a woman cuz shes "a poor excuse for a man" until she transitions and the bigots turn around 180 degrees. its madness.
Thanks to Mr. Bennett passing and a parody I once wrote reappearing in my life, I read that as assigned Gaga at birth.
@@ceryxfigmenti5377 omg yes, I watch a ton of videos of people reacting to transphobes and other weirdos, and whenever they talk about how an "actual woman" is nurturing and wants kids and whatnot I get a tiny bit of gender euphoria cause apparently I really am a guy ^_^
And the enby bonus of "You'll never be [AGAB]", like yeah, I know, _sputtering noises_ "you'll never be [other binary gender]", yeah, I know, *commence rage* 😂
I'm curious how many trans people feel it's at least partly about ingrained cultural norms for each gender.
If society had no gender roles, how many people would still feel the need to transition physically, if they can go out in drag as if it was just everyday clothing for everyone? Or would it have no effect on the numbers at all because it is all about feeling wrong in a person's own skin?

I mean... trans or not, men CAN breastfeed. All human beings are born with the capability to develop working mamary glands. As a Trans man myself, I had those tissues removed so I can no longer to that, but cis women, trans men, trans women and cis men can all lactate under the right conditions.
You what (cis dudes breastfeeding)
Biological men can't breastfeed.
@@transwomenarentrealwomen290
You could make a male start lactating if you screw with their hormones enough. We are, indeed, biologically capable of it.
@@InsomniacMoonbat no I meant the cis dudes being able to breast feed I didn't phrase that right sorry
@@kitfreyisacat With the right hormonal trigger - which sometimes occurs naturally - cisgender males can produce natural, viable breast milk. That's part of what defines us as mammals. We all have the same underlying structure.
And recently the breast milk produced by AMAB people who are using lactation-inducing treatments (the exact same ones used by cisgender women) has been thoroughly tested for nutrition, toxins, etc, and found to be biologically identical to cis women's breast milk.
Biology is weird and cool in a whole bunch of ways they never had the time to teach us in high school.
It's a bit off topic, but: I thought I'd never be able to read your book, since my parents are extremely transphobic (I'm not even out to them).

@@vanta7154Hi, vanta, I’m a Mom to a lovely trans adult, and I’ve always been an ally to the community. Come out when you are safe, and here’s a virtual hug, if you want one:🤗 😊
I had the bathroom discussion with my dad yesterday. I could not convince him, but he had so many accidental ally moments that I still forgive him. He just doesn't understand yet...
I know people who are pretty much allies but don’t really “get” the whole thing, and to them I would describe it as what someone is vs WHO someone is. I don’t know if a trans person would take issue with that framing, but I’m dumbing down for the laymen. I also say that gender dysphoria is as real and diagnosable as something like BPD, and we know that to expect say a kid with bipolar to act the same as their peers in every circumstance is just unrealistic at best and cruel at worst
I haven't told mine yet. He's made it very clear that I'm not allowed in the bathroom that does not correspond with my agab, and he misgenders me on purpose as a punishment. Guess what? I use whichever tf bathroom I want when he's not around, and I have friends who defend my pronoun usage no matter who misgenders me.
I would love all bathrooms just having these labels:
-stalls
-urinals
-changing table
-disabled friendly/barrier free
Maybe even
-kids sized stalls/ sinks
And yes, I do think for privacy reasons the urinals should only habe urinals and sinks, but that room should be a third of the other, because they take up less space.
Also there should be diapers, wipes, tampons and pads in every non urinal bathroom, if not for free, than at least in an dispenser.
(Correctly if I’m wrong, but there aren’t people with penises and periods, right?
At least for cleaning up purposes, they wouldn’t go to an urinal, right?)
@@larissalweller Some intersex people may have both a penis and a period that involves blood, but yeah no way you're taking care of that business at a urinal out in the open.
EDIT: actually, I guess some trans men may too.
I'm not Transgender, but my mum taught me how to change a car tyre because my parents had divorced when I was 4 and someone had to teach me. This was in 1989.
Mum had learned to be self-sufficient long before she re-married. She also taught me how to change a headlamp. That cartoon is just stupid!
Yeah, my dad made me learn to change a tire before he would teach me to drive. It's an important skill for people of all genders. Although I can see why the woman in the pink dress wouldn't want to do it in that outfit, if someone else was willing to help her.
The interesting thing about the cartoon is that the artist meant for it to be inclusive but bigots claimed it
In my driver's Ed class the females were the ones made to change a tire, check the oil in front of the class because the male teachers wanted us to be knowledgeable and able to do some of the work ourselves. I guess they assumed the males would likely already know.
@@CLJlovesmal how many times did you have a girl completely show the teacher up? Please say there was at least once
@@CLJlovesmal that's definitely an unfair assumption. I can change a headlamp, a tyre and an alternator, but I know nothing about changing oil.
I know there are women who do know more than I do. I know two Gay men who could change a transmission on a car. So many people don't fit into the stereotypes. It's a wonder why the stereotypes persist!
My sister (45) is very trans/homophobic so we don't often talk about that stuff, even though I'm trans and bi. A few weeks ago we were in the car together and seeing a very cool looking pedestrian I said, "Wow, they are serving enby chaos!" My sister loses it a bit railing about all these new labels and she that didn't even know what I was saying because I was using all these made up words. I repeated slowly and she realized that she merely didn't follow and imagined me talking in some weird queer code because I was referring to a gender non-conforming person. I then made fun of her for being old and not understanding what "serving" means. (And she does know what enby/NB/non-binary means as she works with youth.) The phobes are so sensitive about things and imagine offense and weirdness even when none exists.
“Made up words” excuse me, but have you heard about our lord and savior LITERALLY ALL OF LANGUAGE? Everything is made up!
@SlavusOwnerus Oh wow. You have multiple profiles and you copy and paste your comment, with typos between them. That's showing everyone isn't it! Course, you gotta question what exactly you are are showing. Lmao You keep doing you bud. You make the universe a funnier place.
My guess on the "cis men are trans women" ect. post is that someone told them that cis is the opposite of trans and they thoroughly misinterpreted what that meant.
As a cisgender bisexual woman I just have to say this, I love trans men and they deserve the upmost positive attention from everyone! They're underrepresented and underappreciated by lots of people as shown in this video unfortunately. These people would obviously be cruel towards trans people no matter what because they're transphobes but they seem to be even rougher on trans men. That is when they actually acknowledge the existence of trans men, which doesn't seem to be often unfortunately... these people are absolute numbskulls...

I'm honestly more concerned about the 'manly' (which is laughable because threatening to beat someone up does not equate to man) Guys that threaten trans people when it comes to using the bathroom than I am about the person using the toilet.

Look, I've been flashed in a women's locker room before... by a ciswoman. I knew the person by reputation too. She was well known for being deeply unstable and had been thrown out of the local homeless shelter for physically assaulting another woman and posting a racist tirade on the bulletin board. After removing her clothes where we were all forced to see her, she said (tw: graphic racism) "this is better than a Vietcong monkey c*nt isn't it?" She was visibly drunk too. Point being, people who do things like this are deeply unwell and should not be in any locker room period: regardless of their anatomy.
I have also been threatened by a ciswoman to prove I was a "real woman" or she'd call the police. I'm AFAB nonbinary. I usually use the women's bathrooms because they have the special bins for period products. I'm perfectly happy to use the men's, and sometimes I have. Unfortunately, I have also been assaulted in a men's bathroom and that incident resulted in physical injuries as well as emotional ones.
@@golwenlothlindelI'm sorry this has happened to you, I hope you have a good day.
It actually makes somes sense when you realize that these transphobes are really just baselessly projecting their own predatory habits on trans people. They're worried cis men would attack women in the women's restroom because THEY would attack women (cis or trans) in the women's restroom.
This is very unrelated but I just wanted to say٫ it makes me so happy to be able to hear your voice while watching your videos. My family used to be really homophobic/transphobic and I would watch your videos in secret with captions and no sound
Whenever people try to propose new bathroom laws because of their theoretical crimes, I always point out that existing laws already cover that. And these laws apply no matter what gender the perpetrator or victim are. So the problem is solved and we can move along.

I was having a conversation about LGBT+ stuff with my grandma who’s trying really hard to learn but definitely still has a lot of work to do and she tried the “but you can always tell” line for trans folks (specifically trans men) and I showed her photos of you, Ty Turner, and some others because y’all don’t fit into her idea of what a trans person looks like and damn that was hella effective! She immediately retracted her statement and acknowledged that “I guess you really have no idea someone’s story just looking at them” and I call that progress…even though the following comments weren’t quite ideally worded she was willing to be proven wrong and learn.
A friend of mine who is not transphobic (and recently became a dad) once asked what the whole thing with body characteristics is like so I gave a brief explanation of how some people say they can always tell.
I decided to show him a picture of a transwoman next to someone else and asked which of the two he thought was trans, and he picked the wrong one, by saying "I mean, I'd go with her because of the jawline I guess?" and he was mortified when he found out that something so small was still putting him on the path of "That's how you can tell" even though he explicitly stated that now that he has become a dad, he felt "feeling ready to die on whatever hill if someone tries his or her best to make my child unhappy now or in the future!"
He felt bad for making the mistake, and understood really well how dangerous the idiotic discussion about body characteristics because of that single example I gave him.

What kills me about the "who should be using what bathroom" debate is that, I'm transmasc but I don't feel comfortable using the men's restroom. And I hate that one of my co workers got onto me twice about using them. I'm not even really attracted to women I just gotta piss 😩 most people leave it be because I'm no-op and only was on T for a year.
But men's bathrooms are unsafe for trans people, especially for those of us who don't pass. So yes. I'll continue using women's bathrooms despite not being a woman. What are you gonna do, tell me to not piss? Die
Here in the U.S. State of Florida, laws have been recently which, among other things, restricts bathroom use on most publicly-owned establishments based on your AGAB -- not even your I.D., so fun thought experiment for verifying an allegation -- but privately-owned establishments can permit it (but also are enabled to discriminate if someone leverages an aforementioned allegation). So here I am, not even half a year into treatments, completely out at work, and both torn between the bathroom my government would force me to use and the bathroom my coworkers would expect me to use, but I'm just kinda vibing the unfettered freedom of having a fallback if the one toilet seat I'm used to is occupied.
There should just be a gender neutral bathroom in every establishment. Even if theres already mens & womens toilets in place, & joining them together would be too big a hassle, just add it as another option.
@@Junebilation7900We should really just join them. Maybe then cis men would learn some hygiene rules and father's would have no issues attending to their kids who need diaper changes.
Let's just be honest: in any circumstances where there's mixed toilets, there's only ever been one issue: People with poor hygiene and social conduct making things difficult for everyone else.
I'd like us to stop misplacing problems on gender AND I'd like us to stop framing women's toilet's as safe spaces. I blasted want everything to be a safe space and not see my safety confined to THAT space. If abusers stopped at that door, then they're very clearly capable of understanding abuse and bloody learn how to stop being abusive sh*ts! 😤
I don't mind all gender toilets. I don't even mind if some desperate ppl start taking that as an opportunity to have intercourse (..... big fat "EW" in terms of hygiene). As long as they clean up their mess 😂
I’m so confused lol do you not pass to use the men‘s restroom? If that’s the case then why does it matter if you’re using the women‘s restroom? As long as you pass and aren’t being a creep then no one should have a problem
Yeah, some say trans people are confused and yep, I AM confused about what bathroom I should use as a trans man who just started coming out to a few people and who hasn't done any other transitioning. To keep using the women's restrooms in places where some people know I'm a guy (like at the office) feels weird. Using the men's restrooms would feel weirder XD

i very recently started T and after my shot my mom walks into my room and says "congrats on your last day of being a woman." i was stunned. just her saying that made me realize that she had seen me as a girl even though ive been out as a trans man for over a year. it was hard to explain to her that what she had just said hurt. she had been passively trying to get me to be more feminine over the past year because im guessing she doesnt want to lose a daughter. 😐 what should i do to make her see me as more masculine?
Do remember: You don't have to prove that you're masculine to anyone but yourself. It really depends on what your parent thinks a man does.
Your mother gave birth to you, she has intimate knowledge of your actual identity. Give her a pass, be upset when random people do it not your own mom

So I tried the hydrophobia comparison you mentioned One Topic saying to someone on UA-cam pulling the "we're not afraid of trans" card.
They just pointed to the rabies hydrophobia and then called me and trans people a pedo.

@SlavusOwnerus ok
According to a quick google search, which used the Oxford English Dictionary, gender comes from the Latin word genus, not genital. It’s definition also specifically states it’s the social aspects of male and female unrelated to the biological
it's free realestate
Imagine being raised as a child. Not a girl, not a boy - a child. You get to play with anything you want, you get to wear any clothes you are comfortable in, you don't have to behave to match stereotypes (because there are none), you get to watch any cartoons you like, you get to pick up any hobby and so on. The topic of genitals is left for later in life - you are taught about genetics and chromosomes and you know what type of puberty you are "preset" to hit. And here you get to make a choice - if you're OK with it or not.
welp, maybe in a hundred years.
I like your channel and I do agree with what you're saying, it's unfair for cis-people to thrash at trans-people because of their differences. I been transitioning for little over three years, getting my breast augmentation on the 7th of August, can't wait for the surgeries to be done because I been waiting for years.
The sexual attraction one is so weird to me. Like I do get having a preference in genital type, but it’s not about that. If I get a partner, I want a woman. I’m attracted to women. I don’t care what she’s got between her legs
what should be between her legs is ME to be honest, idc what she's got i'll put my mouth on it (why am i saying this i'm a lesbian with a wife)

@@rosiefay7283 yeah I am aware, I'm also aware some people would actually do this unironically
I wore a pronoun pin a few years back with my agab before I really realized I was nonbinary, and had to stop wearing it after awhile because people would acknowledge the pin and intentionally misgender me. It got really uncomfortable- not so much because of being misgendered, but more because people got really nasty about it. And this was a few years ago, before trans issues really became the "big thing".

Apple was originally a generic term for a fruit, so an orange can be an apple.
Love me a good Æppel!
if we had gap-less toilet stalls in america i'm not sure that the bathroom issue would be as large as it is here. it's incredibly awkward to make eye contact with someone through the door gap or to have to push someone's child back under the bottom of the stall when you're just trying to do your business, so i'd say there are a multitude of non-creeper related issues that could be fixed with some floor to ceiling stalls. as for someone going in to hypothetically take pictures, there's no magic barrier that stops cisgendered people from doing that, matching toilet designation or not, so we should make stalls private.
Good points. I hate stalls here.
Also, men's urinals often have no barriers at all, let alone tall enough ones ..... Uncomfy
Also, 'cisgender people' or 'cispeople' are often easier words to say than cisgender-ed.
Highest regards
@@danielsykes7558 they are definitely easier to say and make more sense. i'm still shaking off having grown up with people who pronounce "roof" as "rough" so this isn't the first and won't be the last time some funky grammar comes through

As a trans woman whose been on HRT for nearly a year now (HRT started on August 8th!), I can absolutely attest to the fact that we experience monthly cramping. Not exactly my favorite part of the process, truth be told.
I guess it completely escapes you that your alleged cramping might come from all the unnatural levels of hormones you are forcing into your body?

Great video but all this ignorance is spreading everywhere. I'm nearly 60, and in my time before my operation, coming out was very difficult. Now its more lifted, but the backlash from the public is getting worse all the time due to all the misinformation being spread through news, social media and even politicans. If only we could find ways to counter educate the public.
The problem isnt educating them, its that they dont want to be educated
Educating people who are willing to learn is very possible
It’s a very loud minority. It’s their last stand too. They know they’re loosing. That, or they think if they give a good effort now, they’ll win, but they’ve already lost. We just need to stay strong, and they’ll die out

The comment on not gendering kids reminded me of a manga I found a couple years ago. The world building of it was that no one had a proper gender or genetalia until around middle school usually at the latest. The mc was in their last year of high school and still hadn't chosen a gender. Biggest conflicts seemed to be the love triangle with their best friends (a boy and girl) and the pressure to chose a gender for health reasons because apparently not doing so would kill them. A couple interesting things was in a couple of the flashback scenes the girl best friend presented as a boy when super young before she solidified her gender. I did like how the mc kept resisting the choice because they didn't feel comfortable with either presentation. What I didn't like was how their friends kept trying to pressure them into being one gender or the other so they could date the opposite sex best friend. I never finished it because despite liking the concept, how it actually read rubbed me the wrong way. Along with the fact most of the stories I've read with a gender flopping mc and girl/boy love interests, the mc is going to settle on being a girl to be with the boy, and I was tired of the trope.
I know there's another comic on Webtoon with a similar concept, but where everyone is born with two bodies and they have to settle on one at 21, but I haven't gotten very far in that one yet, so I couldn't say much more.
PLEASE tell me the name of this manga it sounds legitimately interesting
@@DragonGirl48 I absolutely wish I could remember the name. 😅 I'll look around to see if I can find it, but I'll make no promises. It's been a couple of years since I read it.

I had a bit of a frustrating conversation with my mom after Fox News announced a possible law to arreset/fine people for misgendering someone. She seemed to think if you did it once you went to jail, and I tried to explain the law more than likely is referring to when people purposely and maliciously refuse to use the person’s preferred pronouns over and over and over again. She then went on to complain about if someone wants to be a he or a she that’s fine, but if someone wants to go by neither she will call them it. I told her that was offensive and that if they want to be called they/them just use that, and then she proclaimed they/them was plural only despite how I know she uses singular they in normal talk. She refused to believe me when I said singular they was older than plural they, and that the first known recorded use of singular they was from the 13th century. I can barely understand the refusal to be kind to trans/non-binary people, but out right refusing common language and insisting it cannot change just baffles me.
Singular they actually predates the pronoun "I", fun fact
