When you were a girl, you were a lesbian. Now that you're a guy, I bet you're gay the other way, attracted to guys instead. What does that say about you? Like... did you ever even think about why that is, or is that just something beyond your comprehension? You seem intelligent enough, but it's almost like you've blinded yourself to some facts about it here. The truth is, it's because when you were a girl, you didn't see yourself as one. You wanted that feminity but not for yourself, so you found it appealing in others and became attracted to it. As for the masculinity, you thought you were pretty much a guy anyway yourself, so you didn't find it appealing at all... ...but now that you've gone through the transition and you see yourself as a guy, you realise that what you thought being a man was, wasn't even the half of it. Now that you're a man, you realise the full extent of masculinity that even when you strive for, you can never fully reach. It is something you want, but it is out of your reach forevermore. Nor, by the way, do you even feel any strong particular drive towards it anymore, now that you're a man... ... but the fact that it's still something that makss one a "man" and yet is out of reach for yourself, now causes you to become attracted to it. That's what's happened
So overall, you've grown in your understanding of masculinity, which caused a change in your orientation (because unlike what Lady Gaga said, you're not even born with an orientation and it's not even set in stone). However... the other truth is, now in fact you'll always be attracted to masculinity, because there's no way you can even become that and I know this is something you're starting to realise within yourself. You see, you lack the male instinct that men have, which you don't. So now unfortunately you're stuck in between, somewhere in limbo, and so you start hating on people like JK Rowling who isn't even transphobic at all, but who just says that male insticts are different from female insticts. Both can change, both can warp, but neither can fully become the other, no matter how much HRT you inject. So you're left now with something inadequate (the idea that you're wanting to become a father as you're growing older, but having no drive or comprehension of what that is meant to be and how you're even meant to go about achieving it), and of course a constant, nagging gay attraction...

As a Gen-X transwoman, I'm excited for how overall great the new generation has it. It was fast, too. I had a mental breakdown dealing with all the bs while transitioning.

When I came out of that, it was a whole new world. 90% of the stressors I had before that...are just gone. Being angry at that makes no sense. The whole "I had it rough so you have to have it rough" mentality (regarding basically anything) is toxic. We work to make a better next generation, that us how it works.

I feel what you're saying. I'm a millennial who didn't figure themselves out until a couple years ago. While I'm so incredibly grateful to have a job and a clinic that are super inclusive and supportive, it was also an intentional choice for me to be publicly out and have to educate or surprise people occasionally, because I want those who come after me to have it easier. I'm not mad at that dynamic at all. I don't want to be scared to exist and be seen, but I'm willing to be if I can make it out the other side and have paved the way for others later.

While it's important that younger generations (ie, me and my friends) recognize that folks in the past didn't have it easy and their fighting for their rights is how we got to where we are now, it's also important not to compare who had it worse (not that you're doing that, this is just a rule of thumb).

Exactly! I was a kid in the 90s but I vaguely remember how society treated gay people for the most part and I feel like I am reliving it as an adult but with the trans community, they’re just trying to exist and be comfortable in their own skin and the amount of hatred to the point of violence towards them is so disturbing. I can’t say that I know what it’s like for them because I am a cis pansexual woman, but it did take me a long time to come to terms with my sexuality because of the environment I grew up in.
I think every generation has their own struggles and always will. Even if these struggles do end up "easier", why not be happy for them? Isn't it great if others don't have to suffer as much?
It is true that just starting out you lose a lot of pockets and inventory space. However, if you max out your sewing perk tree, not only do you get a permanent upgrade to charisma checks, but you can customize every single outfit in the game as well as create new ones, and this also comes with the benefit of adding pockets to your outfits, permanently upgrading your inventory space.
@@cathuman5463 Of course outside much! That is why we need to max out sewing perk for advantageous pockets! Hope you are as well as can be and are having the best day possible.
You definitely paved the way for me. I was 14 when I finally found out what “trans” meant, so of course I was online looking stuff up. You helped me when I had no one else who understood. And I could never thank you enough for doing this for me and many others. I’m now turning 26 next month, I’ve had top surgery this year, and made 2 years on T in July :) thank you for everything.
As a Scot living in Edinburgh, not only am I loving that our devolved Scottish Government is (finally) bringing in gender Self-ID (promised 2016), I'm also loving how it's getting Rowling angrier and angrier. Her TERF tears taste so sweet.
As a woman I can tell you I have a pair of dress pants in my closet with 4 fake pockets. I don’t know why they made them like that and I really don’t know why I bought them.
I tell my family that gender dysphoria as a gender fluid person is confusing and frustrating for me too. I'm learning about myself and my gender fluidity, this means I don't have all the answers. They think my gender fluidity comes from my media exposure and new friend. In reality I have terms to express something I have felt for a long time. I am in a very explorative stage. Exploring does not mean that my feelings and experiences are just a phase or invalid. I have terms for what I feel and now I'm exploring how they apply for me. I guess being pansexual does not help with my family's confusion. They think in terms of straight or queer. Thank you for making these. It helps me get over my bitterness. We are each learning. Opening up to new possibilities is not the easiest thing for most people. When we challenge ourselves fear can make people nady and bring up dysfunction. It can be so tricky to navigate setting boundaries. Thank you for bringing us together with your videos.
it sucks that older people can be so spiteful about the younger trans kids, but I do see where they are coming from. Even being 25 I feel like I completely missed having a childhood along with so much more. I can finally start my life, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't salty about all that I missed and still feel like I am missing having gone through a t based puberty. I know I cannot point this at the younger people, seeing them come out and be themselves earlier and earlier is amazing, but It can still hurt to see what you missed. Unfortunately, being upset at people who have what you want is a very human response.
Well younger folks still have that problem to this day, I'm an 18 year old trans man and still haven't been on t. I see where you're coming from too. But there are children who have family's and communities who don't support them. While there is more acceptance just not enough not even close unfortunately. 😔
I'm in my late 50s and it is actually today's youth who helped me find the courage to come out as non-binary and pansexual just a couple of years ago. I think young LGBTQ people are awesome, and I really admire their bravery in standing up for not just their rights, but the rights of all of us.
I get that it hurts. I sure feel hurt and frustrated sometimes. But I would never think to project my pain onto people who never caused it, who are actually dealing with similar shit, if maybe in a different way. I am 40 now and even though I have been a part of the community for almost 20 years, I never stumbled upon the markers I identify with (aromantic/asexual) until about 3 years ago. I just identified as generally "queer" for the longest time, because I had no word to express my experience. Sure, it hurts to think about how that affected me over the years, but damn, the only thing I wish for is that other people will not have to live through that. Do I feel envious sometimes? Honestly, yes. But I don't begrudge people finding/exploring their identities more easily, especially in the face of what it is still like to be a young queer person in this world.
I get the pain and borderline jealousy. I feel like I've lost so many years trying to force myself into a set of gender rules that never fit, only ever playing a character. That being said when I fight for representation and equality I want it to be easier for the next generation I don't want to have to see others suffer the way I have. I want it to be easier in every facet that I struggle with, mental health, disability, sexuality and gender. If my pain and hard lessons can insure that less or no kids (god I wish) had to go through my journey my trauma would feel almost worth it. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and see the bigger picture tho just because they don't struggle in the same way I had to doesn't mean there still isn't hurdles. There is so much hurt happening to all trans people to suggest that this is the easy version is simply misleading. Maybe easier is someways but coming out and being open is a double edged sword
Yep. But the things that make the difference are self awareness and accountability. I'm 38 and pre everything (thanks, crappy developing country and narcissists in my family of origin), and I'm pretty much green with envy looking at younger trans people, but I won't let myself to take my frustrations out on them.
The room one is weird and didn’t happen to me, but when I first came out my mother did tell me I couldn’t be trans because I also happen to be autistic, like they aren’t mutually exclusive (actually there’s quite a lot of gender non conformance amongst neurodivergent individuals). After 5 years & starting T, she’s come around.
News to trans guy's parents not only as a cis woman is my room a pit but a friend's mum was a cleaner and she said women are frequently untidier than men.
I was literally thinking about The Trans Agenda an hour ago, because kirk cameron is coming to our library to talk about the Trans Agenda on Thursday. I said the same thing. Our agenda is to survive.
where I live testosterone comes in single use vials so if you don't take a full dose, you have to throw the rest away (or share it with a friend that does it on the same day but it can be hard to coordinate). I only take half a dose and it's painful every time lol
Sometimes Im amazed at how I went from "omg they can openly have a trans flag in their house that's so cool" to "OOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD IRON THE DAMN FLAGGGGG". Progress is beautiful.
4:04 Slight inaccuracy, but the calculator tells you 1,7m is 5.5ft, not 5ft 5in. So average male height actually is between 5ft 6in and 5ft 7in. That number doesn't mean much though, as it doesn't specify what place's average it is, while it should because that changes country to country
Damn Im a boomer transwoman. And I dont get the mentality of my generation and millenials that we had had it harder than the current generation its a complete crock of crap. From what I am seeing of its way harder to be in transition now that it was in the 80/90s (especially in UK aka TERF island at moment). I didnt have a 2 year or more waiting list just to get seen be specialist for a start. Of course we had some different issues to deal with and yes it was hard at times, but the crap I see the newer generations having to deal with is way worse that I dealt with.
Ladies, NBS! Anyone! Pants made for 'men' are better quality! Usually for the same price, don't pay the pink tax, buy the better clothes with pockets and finished seams!
3:28 okay so something like that but more uhm... wholesome ig? happened to me, I was trying to find something on the bathroom shelves and couldn't so I asked my mom where it was and when she said it was there I looked again and didn't find, so I went to talk and lo and behold she found it super fast - AND IT WAS ON THE DAMNED SHELVES!!!! so then she ends the interaction with "it's cause your brain is male" and I was confused about the odd validation 😭 (for reference my mom is super accepting, ig she's just a bit too old school but nothing harmful)
Some of our older queer folks are out of touch and assume everyone has survived as well as they have. Some are still active in the struggle and we thank them for it. And for not posting crap online, lol...
Gloating about pocket space is exactly the content I'm here for! I think everyone should tweet that UK/LGBTQIA flag to JK Rowling every day for a week without any text or beef or insults and just watch her burn in her own hate.

The Buck Angel tweet reminded me of my dad when, during a family dinner, told me not to get a tattoo because "IT DOESN'T GO AWAY" and all the people at the table started laughing and playing stranger things music to repeat his words as some incredible revelation. WELP YEAH DAD THAT'S THE POINT OF A TATTOO
2:00 I am visible because I know the younger trans people need me to be. Things are better, sure, but there's still too far to go and I want the next generation to be able to go out at night.
I remember seeing somewhere about a girl getting a bisexual flag for her room and one day she came home to her mother who had taken it off the wall and was ironing it. Might want to be careful displaying your wrinkled flag in case YOUR mother sees these videos and decides to break into your house to iron the flag…..
had a dream last night where a bunch of people got to leave class to do hrt like it was a routine thing like flu shots,, woke up before i got there tho 😔
i’m about 5’10”, give or take a half inch or so. (that’s just above average for men in the US and well above average for the world.) that’s probably subject to change, but for now, i just have awkward height dysphoria that can best be described as, “if i couldn’t be 6’0” then why am i not a short king instead???”
When I finally started buying from men's sections at clothing stores, best purchase fr were cargo pants. Bro I can fit my whole switch into one of the 6 pockets LMAO
I’m a cis woman but I just bought my first pair of men’s shorts and it can fit my WATER BOTTLE! A 1/2 GALLON WATER BOTTLE! My other shorts can’t hold my credit card!!!!
5:20 the image is from r/place this year, and yes it was expanding the trans pride flag into the UK flag. as a British trans person who helped place those pixels... clearly my loyalties lie with one more than the other 😅
I had the audacity to undo the damages a surgeon did to my intersex body just hours after I was spawned and now I am singlehandedly responsible for all the evil in the world because GAHWD doesn't make mistakes. Let that sink and know the full depth of the stupid I and my people deal with every flipping day.
Thank you for a break from my daily poo-poo for a good chuckle! My fav was the buckangel/top surgery one, and the trimming comment for it, priceless! Even shared that with my cis gals and they loved it too 🤣👍
First time I bought men's pants I felt like I reached a level of enlightenment that would have made Kant and Voltaire shiver in their knickers. Edit for addition: me telling my coworkeds how my mustache is growing and them making fun of me like moms and dads at a teenage boy growing his first hair.
I always love it when I see someone and they say they’re trans and I have no fucking idea, like “wow, if you didn’t tell me I’d have absolutely no idea.” Not sure why, maybe it’s that they’re doing good, but it always makes me smile.
i follow a wedding planner on youtube who ends her videos by saying "don't forget to subscribe for more tips and tricks for the modern day bride" and my brain fully expected you to go "don't forget to subscribe for more tips and tricks for how to be trans"
I feel like someone should inform Buck Angel that reconstructive breast implants are available to women who have had mastectomies as the result of breast cancer. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for someone detransitioning to get their breasts back to their former size outside of the cost, though the number of people who would require it as the result of gender confirmation procedures would be vanishingly small, especially taking into account those who transition young and have access to puberty blockers and hormone treatment who may not develop those breasts in the first place, as well as the fact that femininity is not correlated with the size and functionality of someone's breasts.
if anyone in the comments is actually looking to iron their flag btw - throw it in the dryer with a damp sock. it'll get most of the wrinkles out, and you just gotta turn the machine on.
"My smell came back" y'know I was confused as to whether you meant your smell or your sense of smell, but now that I think about it, it was probably both since you reached for your bodywash 😂
I showed this to my son (who is 16, bi, and loves memes bagging on JK cause "Those are my friends!") and he shortlauged so hard he got Mango juice all over his mouse LOL 😂 We hated the cleanup, but loved the Memes!
The easier/ harder conversation is often counterproductive. Nothing would make me happier if the trans* kids in gen alpha were spared hardships of previous generations. I hope some future generation gets to look at being trans/ enby without having to view it through a lens of hardship, discrimination, and inequity. As an older millennial, there are certain things that generally improved for gen z from when I was a kid, but also there are things that seem to be much harder in general. In the end, however, we experience it all individually (despite the existence of community), not 'in general', and no one's hardships diminish because someone else's were hypothetically worse.
As a gay man I enjoyed this. I love the memes and people need to stop hating. You are beautiful and I think you have a nice beard and hair. I grew long hair for the first time in 2019 and also a beard for the second time. I like the one about trans people wanting to survive. It is sad how many died this past year.
Back when I was really stupid, I used to hang around with the kind of people who said a lot of awful stuff. Definitely said the attack helicopter thing before. After realising a lot about myself (I'm bi, thought a bit about it and decided I was still a dude however), I stopped talking to them. I'm gradually getting better at correctly gendering people, but sometimes it still messes with my head a bit. Maybe one day I'll finally fully deprogram myself from all the awful shit I thought growing up. Have a nice day, lad.

@@sarahthesarah2850 Indeed indeed!

@@cathuman5463 Thank you for introducing me to this very interesting reddit community!
@@cathuman5463 Of course outside much! That is why we need to max out sewing perk for advantageous pockets! Hope you are as well as can be and are having the best day possible.

Wow jealous

You definitely paved the way for me. I was 14 when I finally found out what “trans” meant, so of course I was online looking stuff up. You helped me when I had no one else who understood. And I could never thank you enough for doing this for me and many others. I’m now turning 26 next month, I’ve had top surgery this year, and made 2 years on T in July :) thank you for everything.
Congratulations! 🥰
I'm so proud of you, man
As a Scot living in Edinburgh, not only am I loving that our devolved Scottish Government is (finally) bringing in gender Self-ID (promised 2016), I'm also loving how it's getting Rowling angrier and angrier. Her TERF tears taste so sweet.
As a trans girl, the lack of pockets was a significant loss, but that just meant I had an excuse to get a handbag.
Yup.
Ty's hair is so nice it makes me want to skitter around the ground on all fours and hiss
Interesting reaction
@@vinegar_mince8746 u never get so excited u start Doing ZOOMIES?
@@boneenthusiast2052 oh fair!! I do excited jumping around the room. I suppose I could see myself skittering on the ground 😂
It’s the first time I have seen a mullet that looks good.
My son got a new pair of Dockers and he's like, "why do my dress pants have 5 pockets?!"
As a cis woman - yup. Lack of decent pockets does peeve me off.
As a woman I can tell you I have a pair of dress pants in my closet with 4 fake pockets. I don’t know why they made them like that and I really don’t know why I bought them.
That Rib come back was pretty clever 😂
I tell my family that gender dysphoria as a gender fluid person is confusing and frustrating for me too. I'm learning about myself and my gender fluidity, this means I don't have all the answers. They think my gender fluidity comes from my media exposure and new friend. In reality I have terms to express something I have felt for a long time. I am in a very explorative stage. Exploring does not mean that my feelings and experiences are just a phase or invalid. I have terms for what I feel and now I'm exploring how they apply for me. I guess being pansexual does not help with my family's confusion. They think in terms of straight or queer. Thank you for making these. It helps me get over my bitterness. We are each learning. Opening up to new possibilities is not the easiest thing for most people. When we challenge ourselves fear can make people nady and bring up dysfunction. It can be so tricky to navigate setting boundaries. Thank you for bringing us together with your videos.
I'm a millennial trans woman and I don't understand the others from my generation... I'm all about helping my baby trans!
The straight-out-of-the-packet trans flag in the background is such a relatable thing
it sucks that older people can be so spiteful about the younger trans kids, but I do see where they are coming from. Even being 25 I feel like I completely missed having a childhood along with so much more. I can finally start my life, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't salty about all that I missed and still feel like I am missing having gone through a t based puberty. I know I cannot point this at the younger people, seeing them come out and be themselves earlier and earlier is amazing, but It can still hurt to see what you missed. Unfortunately, being upset at people who have what you want is a very human response.
Well younger folks still have that problem to this day, I'm an 18 year old trans man and still haven't been on t. I see where you're coming from too. But there are children who have family's and communities who don't support them. While there is more acceptance just not enough not even close unfortunately. 😔
I'm in my late 50s and it is actually today's youth who helped me find the courage to come out as non-binary and pansexual just a couple of years ago. I think young LGBTQ people are awesome, and I really admire their bravery in standing up for not just their rights, but the rights of all of us.
I get that it hurts. I sure feel hurt and frustrated sometimes. But I would never think to project my pain onto people who never caused it, who are actually dealing with similar shit, if maybe in a different way. I am 40 now and even though I have been a part of the community for almost 20 years, I never stumbled upon the markers I identify with (aromantic/asexual) until about 3 years ago. I just identified as generally "queer" for the longest time, because I had no word to express my experience. Sure, it hurts to think about how that affected me over the years, but damn, the only thing I wish for is that other people will not have to live through that. Do I feel envious sometimes? Honestly, yes. But I don't begrudge people finding/exploring their identities more easily, especially in the face of what it is still like to be a young queer person in this world.
I get the pain and borderline jealousy. I feel like I've lost so many years trying to force myself into a set of gender rules that never fit, only ever playing a character. That being said when I fight for representation and equality I want it to be easier for the next generation I don't want to have to see others suffer the way I have. I want it to be easier in every facet that I struggle with, mental health, disability, sexuality and gender. If my pain and hard lessons can insure that less or no kids (god I wish) had to go through my journey my trauma would feel almost worth it. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and see the bigger picture tho just because they don't struggle in the same way I had to doesn't mean there still isn't hurdles. There is so much hurt happening to all trans people to suggest that this is the easy version is simply misleading. Maybe easier is someways but coming out and being open is a double edged sword
Yep. But the things that make the difference are self awareness and accountability. I'm 38 and pre everything (thanks, crappy developing country and narcissists in my family of origin), and I'm pretty much green with envy looking at younger trans people, but I won't let myself to take my frustrations out on them.
The room one is weird and didn’t happen to me, but when I first came out my mother did tell me I couldn’t be trans because I also happen to be autistic, like they aren’t mutually exclusive (actually there’s quite a lot of gender non conformance amongst neurodivergent individuals). After 5 years & starting T, she’s come around.
Your mother is ableist
@@draalttom844 Sounds more like the mother was ableist
@@zinkheroofyoutube8004 that's what I said
@@draalttom844 You said “is” present tense meaning she’s still abelist

News to trans guy's parents not only as a cis woman is my room a pit but a friend's mum was a cleaner and she said women are frequently untidier than men.
Man .... your flag has the "just bought" fold lines. Mine has the "I had to pack this shit up a couple times" wrinkles and fold lines. Never iron it 🤌
I was literally thinking about The Trans Agenda an hour ago, because kirk cameron is coming to our library to talk about the Trans Agenda on Thursday. I said the same thing. Our agenda is to survive.
Our agenda is also to live a life worth living, not just surviving.
Wait is this a public library?!
Wait so we dont get to take over the world?!??? 🥺🥺😭😭😭

So mad that the first joke is literally my life in a nutshell.
i get so excited when my dresses come with pockets let alone pants.
where I live testosterone comes in single use vials so if you don't take a full dose, you have to throw the rest away (or share it with a friend that does it on the same day but it can be hard to coordinate). I only take half a dose and it's painful every time lol
O U C H . RIGHT IN THE POOR.
@@ZijnShayatanica thankfully I don't pay for it because we also have socialised healthcare, i just feel bad throwing away perfectly good testosterone
@@Alliien34 I'm very happy for you!! But yeah, that sounds more than a bit upsetting, lol.
Use as much of it as you can. The vial is safe to draw from until it’s empty. If it takes two doses to get it all out that’s fine.
@@Chierushi not the kind of vials we get in my country unfortunately they truly are single use
The rib tweet *SENDS* me every fucking time.
I never wanna go back to the 90s when I was an adult trapped in a baby's body
"I will not straighten my pride flag" I giggled so much XD
Your meme curation is so impeccable; these vids need to be twice as long 😝
Sometimes Im amazed at how I went from "omg they can openly have a trans flag in their house that's so cool" to "OOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD IRON THE DAMN FLAGGGGG". Progress is beautiful.
Why does he give off “the chill math teacher that everyone wished they had in middle school ” vibes?
He reminds me of that one music teacher from Raise Your Voice.
I long ago came to the conclusion that I must be of average height because most things are at a reasonable height for my use.
I'm gonna tell my aunt the one gender, one rib joke. She's genuinely going to love that one 😂
Giant baby squad vibin over here lol
Me, as a former baby, would like to come out and say that my past doesn't define me anymore. I grew some hormones and now I'm an adult. Thank you. 😄
Every once in a while I have friends over when I need to do my shot and I always make sure to make a show of it.
Can't believe I was actually put in the vid😂
4:04 Slight inaccuracy, but the calculator tells you 1,7m is 5.5ft, not 5ft 5in. So average male height actually is between 5ft 6in and 5ft 7in. That number doesn't mean much though, as it doesn't specify what place's average it is, while it should because that changes country to country
I think I might start keeping my flags folded just so they keep the lines 😂
Actually even better if you wrinkle it up, the lines won't be uniform and less likely to be straight.
@@neon17.08 lmaooo truth, the less straight the better
Damn Im a boomer transwoman. And I dont get the mentality of my generation and millenials that we had had it harder than the current generation its a complete crock of crap. From what I am seeing of its way harder to be in transition now that it was in the 80/90s (especially in UK aka TERF island at moment). I didnt have a 2 year or more waiting list just to get seen be specialist for a start. Of course we had some different issues to deal with and yes it was hard at times, but the crap I see the newer generations having to deal with is way worse that I dealt with.
Ladies, NBS! Anyone! Pants made for 'men' are better quality! Usually for the same price, don't pay the pink tax, buy the better clothes with pockets and finished seams!
That boarding pass story sounded so double entendre 🤣
3:28 okay so something like that but more uhm... wholesome ig? happened to me, I was trying to find something on the bathroom shelves and couldn't so I asked my mom where it was and when she said it was there I looked again and didn't find, so I went to talk and lo and behold she found it super fast - AND IT WAS ON THE DAMNED SHELVES!!!! so then she ends the interaction with "it's cause your brain is male" and I was confused about the odd validation 😭 (for reference my mom is super accepting, ig she's just a bit too old school but nothing harmful)
That’s a really sweet thing she did, especially since it sounds like she said it without thinking about it too hard. 🏳️⚧️
Ty, you make my life as an enby trans masc so much lighter and happier. Thanks so much for the good laughs.
TY! I’ve missed you my guy! It’s good to see you’re doing well. I can’t wait to meet you someday.
The ribs 😂😂😂 i cant. Thats so funny
You are literally my transition goal dude 😍
Hope things are going well for you & your love. 💝 Thank you for everything that you do :)
Some of our older queer folks are out of touch and assume everyone has survived as well as they have. Some are still active in the struggle and we thank them for it. And for not posting crap online, lol...
Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Hope you're well, dude.
I keep my T bottles for that exact reasons but Idk what imma do with them maybe a craft or somthin
Gloating about pocket space is exactly the content I'm here for!
I think everyone should tweet that UK/LGBTQIA flag to JK Rowling every day for a week without any text or beef or insults and just watch her burn in her own hate.
I’m a 68 yo post op trans woman! I am so proud of having helped open the doors for the kids today and still go out of my way to defend them!! ❤🏳️⚧️
The meme “current objective: survive” hits hard when you go to a school with very transphobic peers …
New to the channel, sir your vibes are immaculate 👌
"Nice try, giant baby" made me belly-laugh 😂
Made me think of that "Honey, I Blew Up The Baby" movie lol
I love how funny people are. That's all.
Thanks Ty 😊
Bigender tip to trans femmes; extending pockets isn't actually too tricky if you pick up some sewing supplies and try out a few tutorials.

I have just discovered your channel and you are such a chill and wholesome dude:) This channel just has such a cozy and comfy vibe and I love it! (you now have another sub
The Buck Angel tweet reminded me of my dad when, during a family dinner, told me not to get a tattoo because "IT DOESN'T GO AWAY" and all the people at the table started laughing and playing stranger things music to repeat his words as some incredible revelation. WELP YEAH DAD THAT'S THE POINT OF A TATTOO
This giant baby loved this video and has liked and subscribed.
Overall very wholesome. Enjoyed it a lot.
I always love your videos. Thanks for laughs.
ASMR more like blue hair and pronounce. you will never be a wolf.
This is the first video I’ve watched from you but can I say your voice is so soothing
2:00 I am visible because I know the younger trans people need me to be. Things are better, sure, but there's still too far to go and I want the next generation to be able to go out at night.
I remember seeing somewhere about a girl getting a bisexual flag for her room and one day she came home to her mother who had taken it off the wall and was ironing it. Might want to be careful displaying your wrinkled flag in case YOUR mother sees these videos and decides to break into your house to iron the flag…..
had a dream last night where a bunch of people got to leave class to do hrt like it was a routine thing like flu shots,, woke up before i got there tho 😔
For me somehow it’s easier to do my t shot when people watch, so I appreciate people wanting to watch my t shot 😅
i’m about 5’10”, give or take a half inch or so. (that’s just above average for men in the US and well above average for the world.) that’s probably subject to change, but for now, i just have awkward height dysphoria that can best be described as, “if i couldn’t be 6’0” then why am i not a short king instead???”
awesome vid!
I'm gonna be honest... I thought that said Sea Salt & CHEDDAR and wasn't phased by it lmao
When I finally started buying from men's sections at clothing stores, best purchase fr were cargo pants.
Bro I can fit my whole switch into one of the 6 pockets LMAO
I’m a cis woman but I just bought my first pair of men’s shorts and it can fit my WATER BOTTLE! A 1/2 GALLON WATER BOTTLE! My other shorts can’t hold my credit card!!!!
5:20 the image is from r/place this year, and yes it was expanding the trans pride flag into the UK flag. as a British trans person who helped place those pixels... clearly my loyalties lie with one more than the other 😅
I had the audacity to undo the damages a surgeon did to my intersex body just hours after I was spawned and now I am singlehandedly responsible for all the evil in the world because GAHWD doesn't make mistakes. Let that sink and know the full depth of the stupid I and my people deal with every flipping day.
These videos give me joy.
Thank you for a break from my daily poo-poo for a good chuckle! My fav was the buckangel/top surgery one, and the trimming comment for it, priceless! Even shared that with my cis gals and they loved it too 🤣👍
First time I bought men's pants I felt like I reached a level of enlightenment that would have made Kant and Voltaire shiver in their knickers.
Edit for addition: me telling my coworkeds how my mustache is growing and them making fun of me like moms and dads at a teenage boy growing his first hair.
I don't why but something about his personality is so endearing.
Ty, I just found your channel and I am quickly falling in love with you. Your delivery and wit and wonderful. Glad I found you.
i cried laughing, then brought my phone over to show my gf (still cry/laughing) the stupid worm meme. thank you
I always love it when I see someone and they say they’re trans and I have no fucking idea, like “wow, if you didn’t tell me I’d have absolutely no idea.” Not sure why, maybe it’s that they’re doing good, but it always makes me smile.
i follow a wedding planner on youtube who ends her videos by saying "don't forget to subscribe for more tips and tricks for the modern day bride" and my brain fully expected you to go "don't forget to subscribe for more tips and tricks for how to be trans"
Hell yeah, first here. Awesome video!
I feel like someone should inform Buck Angel that reconstructive breast implants are available to women who have had mastectomies as the result of breast cancer.
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for someone detransitioning to get their breasts back to their former size outside of the cost, though the number of people who would require it as the result of gender confirmation procedures would be vanishingly small, especially taking into account those who transition young and have access to puberty blockers and hormone treatment who may not develop those breasts in the first place, as well as the fact that femininity is not correlated with the size and functionality of someone's breasts.
if anyone in the comments is actually looking to iron their flag btw - throw it in the dryer with a damp sock. it'll get most of the wrinkles out, and you just gotta turn the machine on.
"My smell came back" y'know I was confused as to whether you meant your smell or your sense of smell, but now that I think about it, it was probably both since you reached for your bodywash 😂
I showed this to my son (who is 16, bi, and loves memes bagging on JK cause "Those are my friends!") and he shortlauged so hard he got Mango juice all over his mouse LOL 😂
We hated the cleanup, but loved the Memes!
The easier/ harder conversation is often counterproductive. Nothing would make me happier if the trans* kids in gen alpha were spared hardships of previous generations. I hope some future generation gets to look at being trans/ enby without having to view it through a lens of hardship, discrimination, and inequity. As an older millennial, there are certain things that generally improved for gen z from when I was a kid, but also there are things that seem to be much harder in general. In the end, however, we experience it all individually (despite the existence of community), not 'in general', and no one's hardships diminish because someone else's were hypothetically worse.
I always kelp my room clean as a kid. Should have been a clue to those around me. 😂
As a gay man I enjoyed this. I love the memes and people need to stop hating. You are beautiful and I think you have a nice beard and hair. I grew long hair for the first time in 2019 and also a beard for the second time. I like the one about trans people wanting to survive. It is sad how many died this past year.
Right about the pockets
Your cr1tikal impression is so good
Back when I was really stupid, I used to hang around with the kind of people who said a lot of awful stuff. Definitely said the attack helicopter thing before. After realising a lot about myself (I'm bi, thought a bit about it and decided I was still a dude however), I stopped talking to them. I'm gradually getting better at correctly gendering people, but sometimes it still messes with my head a bit. Maybe one day I'll finally fully deprogram myself from all the awful shit I thought growing up. Have a nice day, lad.
i never thought id be losing my shit with the sentence "nice try, giant baby" i can already feel it turning into a vocal stim
