Fun fact about Maddie Blaustein (the Meowth voice actor): Not only was she a trans woman, she was also intersex. Double the representation. She was one of my main inspirations to get into voice acting, and I’m sure the same can be said for some other trans voice actors. Rest In Peace, Maddie, thank you for being a part of my childhood.
@@WingerWind based on the fact the last name has an "L" in in I'm going to guess English, as there is no letter "L" in Japanese and they rarely hire non-Japanese for Japanese voice acting because even if you know the language your accent would be wrong
I am recently out to my parents and mentioned the word cis in conversation, my dad, being new to this term, asked for clarification via saying “that’s like a muggle, right?”

So I’m non-binary and when I’m at work when one of my managers talks over the mic she says “Okay ladies, gentlemen, and menaces to society.” I’ve never laughed harder I love her dearly.
Fun fact: The ancient greeks viewed Dionysus, who had been disguised as a girl to hide him from Hera growing up, as the patron saint of trans people. They also believed that trans people occurred because Apollo would sometimes create people with the wrong genitals when drunk. Considering that Dionysus is also the god of alcohol, what's this say about their relationship?
I mean... most of the Greek gods(specifically the gods, the goddesses were mostly straight with a few who could be interpreted as aro/ace) were pretty explictly bi/pan and incredibly horny. Apollo is part of that "most" What you're implying is probably completely accurate.
I actually half finished a project in greek/roman art history on this glass skyphos that featured iconography of the cult of Dionysus, and there was so much (not even overt) gender queer stuff I found along the way that I can probably contribute like at least 35% of my gradual awakening to that project alone. Honestly the reason I gave up on it was because I couldn't figure out how to order and compress all info I'd learned about the cult's and the god's relation to gender, societal roles, life, etc. I was also very emotionally overwhelmed in the most livening way. Sorry to ramble.
They also have a myth that explains why some desire men and other desire women (it's called the origin of love, if I remember correctly) The Ancient Greeks may have been extremely patriarchal, but in some ways they still managed to be more accepting than most countries today...
@@lampekartoffel It is often overstated how patriarchal their societies were. It did have some instances of men being viewed better over women but a lot of articles overhype that for the views and clicks. It wasn't nearly as simple as men over women. Sparta even had a warrior queen in charge at one point.
Flashbacks to my trans friend(ftm) telling someone that's he's trans and that person responding "you will never be a girl your just confused" took all of my strength not to laugh at the look on her face my my friend started beaming.
A day of wholesome facts for OT 1) The creator of the polio vaccine, Jonas Salk, could've patented it and made billions, but he didn't because he thought the vaccine belonged to the people. 2) There's competitions strictly for dog surfing. Every year the Del Mar Dog Beach hosts a competition for dog surfing that raises money for animal in need.
Same with insulin. When Frederick G Banting, Charles H Best and JJR Macleod discovered insulin they sold it to the University of Toronto for $1 believing it should be spread among the people and not used for profits, but that didn't stop greedy American companies from trying to ripoff Americans with insulin prices.
Another fun bone fact, only about 60% of people born with ovaries have what you hs biology book called "female" pelvis, that's one of the reasons why we have so many c-sections. The difference in bone structure is much less apparent than all those graphic shows, they're like "most extreme scenario". But yeah, archaeologists/historians should be able to understand trans people existed and what transition options we had in our times.
Yeah, I took a course on identifying bones and there’s so much they look at, plus it seems basically impossible to determine with 100% certainty even in cisgender people! Moreover in the case of trans people who have had surgeries like facial feminization for example, I find it funny that transphobic people think that wouldn’t be noticed by archeologists … ? I know my sister had her browbone shaved down and has bits of metal in her jaw as part of feminization, preeeeeetty sure archeologists will be able to see those marks and note she’s trans lol
@@strongestgamer2501 How is it pseudoscience? Those are just facts about human skeletons. This is how before ultrasound became common doctors would check who might need a c-section.
Story time ! [transphobic mother] In the car one night, my mother just stopped be from getting out and showed me this thing on Facebook about how “transwomen are taking away what the word woman means”. I just looked at her and said “how r they taking it away?” And she said “because they are!” And I said “ok, how?” And she was silent for awhile. She finally turned to me again and said “They’re taking MY women hood away! I don’t want to meet with someone and have to tell them I don’t have a penie” and I said “well don’t then? They don’t have to know that information anyway? And if you’re that worried about it, just tell them your a cis-woman, not what’s in your pants?” Then she started getting mad saying “Again with this cis stuff! I don’t wanna be called a “cis woman” and I want to be a woman! And so I shut her up by giving the point of “yea, well trans woman don’t want to be called a “trans-woman” they want to be called a woman, but people like you aren’t allowing that. And it’s also people like you who get mad that we separated cis and trans women with names, EVEN THO THATS WHAT U ASKED FOR. I’m a man mother, I don’t want you and others to call me “trans-man” I just want u to call me a man- but you won’t do that, will you?” And she shut tf up.
The Problem with "Dead Gender" would be that the dead name is something a trans person factually had. The assigned gender at birth however was never true for the person as it was falsely assigned to them. I hope you can understand what I mean.
I get that, I honestly feel like agab is the best thing to say, unless you want to have a very confusing conversation where you constantly have to say, "no, that my wrong gender" because "wrong gender" would be the closest to a "dead gender"
@@charlespentrose7834 Yeah I was actually thinking wether or not I should say it like this because of that, but I wanted it no be as easy to understand as possible.
Yeah, usually when someone is mentioning their agab it is to say something relevant about their experience. How we are socialized (either as boys or girls) has a huge impact on us, so mentioning your agab is relevant information about your experience, even if it was not the correct gender (or in some nonbinary cases only correct partially or part of the time). Using 'dead-gender' doesn't say the same thing that you would be trying to convey by sharing your agab in most cases. (Although I guess it could be used as a synonym of how I've been using 'agab', without being specific.)
The bathroom door thing caught me off guard because WE LITERALLY DID THAT IN COLLEGE.... It was our industrial art project which, according to our teacher was supposed to "make people think". Yeah, they thought all right. For three days we changed the signs out with different and very random images. By the end of the third day, people were literally walking ten minutes to go to the building next door's restroom because they couldn't figure out 'sunflower v rose' or 'stick figure with ten arms v stick figure with ten legs'! That was fourteen years ago xD
"fish" and "sandal", however, can backfire, because the toxic cis-men will think "fish"=="woman". I prefer, "light bulb" and "pineapple". But even better would be "horse" and "boat" … because both of those are "neuter-nouns" in German. Ha! Jokes on you transphobes!
Clearly stick figure with ten arms is multitaskers and stick figure with ten legs is a frequent traveler, seems easy enough to me /j Lmao I actually like the idea of replacing the male and female signs with other things but like, also the chaos means it wouldn't last long ^^'
This makes me want to try that too. Only "problem" is that our uni got rid of gendered bathrooms years ago so confusing people with fake gender signs wouldn't work. I'd be interested to know which sign people would choose, though, just as a kind of personality test

@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla The Sesame Street puppets are Muppets! All puppets from Henson Studios, which Sesame Street uses, are Muppets. Actually, Big Bird is a Muppet, too, even though he's a suit instead of a puppet, since, again, it's a Henson Studio concept.
@@DarcOne13 "The Muppets" is a show brand name. "Sesame Street" is a completely different show. There's also Avenue Q which is the adult version of those.
As an asexual, I find it very interesting that when two skeletons were discovered to have been embracing during a major disaster, the immediate conclusion was "lovers," and when it was determined that they were both female, they were further classified as "lesbians." Like. If my town explodes, that could be me and my sister or me and my afab sibling, or me and my female best friend, holding onto and comforting each other as we die. I mean, why does every image of love have to be assumed to be a sexual or romantic relationship? Love is so much more than that. I love a lot of people very deeply, and I have no romantic or sexual interest in any of the people I love.
Honestly well put, love doesn't mean what so many people think it means and love is not physical attraction, imo it's smth deeper and more sacred that doesn't need physical attraction to exist, it transcends that nonsense. In the context of that archeological discovery though, we can't actually really say which with nothing else but the two skeletons to go off of, other then they clearly had some sorta connection, though it'd be neat if there was any hard evidence for either way
Excellent point, @floatingeyeballs44. If I ended up with a total stranger as we died in a disaster, we would probably be hugging, comforting each other and ourselves, simply as two fellow human beings with empathy and a need for connection as members of a social species. When I first read this story, I thought, "How do they know that they were lovers?" Archaeologists love to paint a story, and that can help some people relate to humans from the distant past, but there are so many other possibilities (including a wealthy woman embracing her female slave; maybe she was even abusive and horrible to the slave, but, at the moment of death, they both preferred the comfort of hugging another human). They shouldn't jump to conclusions. In research papers, there's a section where the authors are required to discuss all the other possible interpretations and acknowledge the unknowns, but popular media loves to oversimplify and portray findings in sensationalized ways that raise their ratings and make them more money. This is antithetical to educating the public. One of the myriad problems with capitalism. We need communalism; we need to structure society to reward greed as little as possible. But that's another subject. ////Bunny kisses for all!
@OdinsSage Yes, I understood the joke perfectly well the first time I saw it. My memory isn't great due to CFS, but I believe the joke is based on an actual series of archaeological media reports. We can get the joke yet continue to discuss the actual cultural happenings on which it is based, as well as the complexity of interpreting limited clues in archaeology. Notice that @floatingeyeballs44 isn't directly talking about the cartoon, but the story it references. The default assumption of heterosexual lovers is indeed queer erasure. If OP is correct (I think so, IIRC), and the "lovers" were relabeled "lesbians" as soon as it was discovered that their bodies were both female, then that could be considered erasure of asexuals, and trans, and NB, as well as ignoring all the other possibilities. I'm well aware of the sexism, heteronormativity, etc. that has plagued science, medicine, and history, such as medicines having been tested only on white men until recent times. But thanks for explaining the cartoon for anyone who didn't get it. Just don't assume that discussion of the facts behind the joke means that we didn't get it. I thought it was funny; I love humor that "punches up" at The Man or satirizes flaws in self-satisfied mainstream thinking. ////Bunny kisses for all!
I came out to my mother about being a trans guy and her response was "WHAT? YOU HADNT EVEN GOTTEN THE SURGERY YET??" I still remember to this day how she said that and it gives me a good laugh, knowing that she was chill with my confession after a small talk. Im still waiting for that day where i can tell my entire family because I'm still nervous about getting lectured about my identity and being questioned if i really feel like a guy
I think the follow the money thing could be turned into something like "friend of Dorothy" but for transguys, like saying "My guy friend who, y'know... *follows the money*"
totally... are they 'following the money'? Oh look, Jerry 'followed the money', nice! I'm so glad he trusts me enough to tell me he 'follows the money'. Love it.
Transfemme here, and while I'm trying to figure out a version for the opposite gender... Why is the only thing I can come up with is "murdered that family"? I've been watching too much Click.
The fake aquariums reminded me of something really cool that they did at an aquarium near us where the kids got to design their own fish (on a basic template) which then got scanned in and their fish became a part of the tank full of everyones coloured in fishes and they even had little swimming animations. I thought that was awesome and I wanted to share
Actually, you can do something similar at the lego house, where you build your own fish/sea creature with legos and then it'll be scanned to swim with the creations of others, as well. :)

As someone studying Anthropology, I can tell you that so far gender is not a a clearly defined global-culturally defined thing, and that many nonbinary and trans genders actually played an important, mostly spiritual part in many human cultures. So don't forget, if you AREN'T cis, then you could be a deity's reincarnation, or a prophet, or a spiritual guide, or a great healer of all wounds by the very nature of your gender.
so you're saying being transfemme could make me a goddess in some cultures, and I could manipulate the upper hierarchy of religion to my bidding and receive all manners of gifts for my power?

NGL I had never felt more validated in my gender than when someone made a joke about their former transphobia by saying that they thought they were over it until I scared them. (Part of the context: offhand said my transition goals were Ryoma Nagare but the version piloting Getter Emperor, who is basically a bloodthirsty maniac with a heart of gold inside an invincible super robot powered by universe-conquering god-destroying fond-of-humanity psychic sapient cosmic radiation.) (I am well on my way, I got the maniac, the heart of gold, and the feeling possessed by an universe-conquering god-destroying fond-of-humanity all-encompassing energy, though that's probably just the ADHD and ASD intersecting for me rather than Getter Rays, but I guess I'll know when I'm done here if I land in Getter Valhalla after all.)
I think something a lot of people need to hear and think about is that they shouldn't worry about how they present to the world. You could be a very feminine person, but you're no less of a man than if you were to be masculine. You shouldn't worry about how OTHERS see you.. Because in the short lives we have, it's not something to stick your heads on. You can have an outward appearance of anything you want, but still be considered a certain gender even if you aren't outwardly that gender. This is something a friend taught me a while back. It doesn't matter what other people think, it's what YOU are comfortable with that matters. If you want to be super masculine go for it! If you want to be feminine do it! But what you shouldn't do ever is conform to what OTHER people think you should be. If you are AFAB but you're trans masc then I support you in any way you want. If you want to do all these things that make you look more masculine then go ahead. But don't do it just because people say you should. Do it if it makes you happy. Love you all, and if anyone sees this I hope this helps in any way possible. TLDR: Do what makes you happy, not what others want you to do
If someone will say this to me, i will be like "why thank you, but my hands (well, the palms) are smaller than some kids have, i hated the size of it all my life and they r NoT gRoWing". Everyone around me, including my mother have bigger palms and i DO nOt UnDeRsTaNd whyyy
3:48 Ah yes, the clbuttic problem. This is common when searching and replacing. It gets its name from replacing all instances of "ass" to "butt", therefore "classic" becomes "clbuttic".
Context: I'm a trans masculine enby. I talked on the phone to a friend I haven't talked to in years the other day. He said "you sound different, your voice is deeper" and I was so happy because my voice gives me so much dysphoria and I try to talk deeper, but I can't do it subconsciously, and I'm usually too focused on other stuff to do it consciously. "Oh really?" I said excitedly. "Yeah, you sound like a woman now" -_-... yeah my day was kinda ruined at that point.
I'm a trans guy and in my college I introduced myself with my preferred name and pronouns. But was still struggling a bit with it. one of the days we had an online class on zoom and beforehand I was changing my dead name and noticed you can add pronouns. So I did. and it became much less stressful to remind someone who got my pronouns wrong. Later I found out how they all had a meeting after and talked about my pronouns. Aperantly they made extra sure to not get it wrong and that everyone knew my correct pronouns. It was the most hear warming thing I ever had to know how much they supported me. Coming out of highschool I was scared of the world but they showed me that the world was the exact opposite of what I thought it was. thank you firends. and thank you to all the people that use the right pronouns for people and correct others. it means a lot.
As a newly out of the closet Pansexual, you played a huge role in finding myself. Thank you for giving me a little island where i could always be myself❤
The truck thing reminded me that my vrooma is trans, he renamed himself Albert, started using he/him pronouns and adoped the guy voice preset. Very successful transition I'm proud of him.
I have a friend who is a archaeologist and she told me that, in archeology they have five sex catigories they sort skelettons by. 1. probably male, 2. maby male, 3. X (not to ditermine), 4. maby female, 5. probably female
About 10 months now on HRT, aside from my friends you were the main person that helped me come out because you kept saying "if you think you might be faking it you're not" and it honestly helped me so much. 10 months later here I am watching your videos still but now as my authentic self. Thank you
I've heard that before, the whole "if you think you're faking, you're not" think but I don't think that always applies. I've struggled with my identity all my life (gender and otherwise) and once I came to the conclusion I'm a trans woman, started presenting femme all the time at home and in public, ive never felt like I was faking it. I've never felt like just a guy in womens clothes. It just feels that right and natural to me, like if anything I'm righting a lifelong wrong. It's cathartic in a way. And this is coming from someone who habitually second guesses and overthinks practically everything I do. I'm 31 and a little over a week into hrt. I'm lucky enough to be in a very supportive environment at home and even at work, and I hope everyone can find that. Stay strong and follow your heart
So I dont think anyone I know will see this. But finding these videos has been so good for my mental health. To be able to relate and laugh has been so amazing. Last year I tried coming out as trans. Only to be rejected by almost everyone. My best friend threatened to ostracize me from our friend group and gaming community if I transitioned. So here I am pretending to be cis so I dont end up completely alone. These videos help me feel less alone.
Nah, be alone. It's literally better than being with people like that, and that's not your friend. You'll eventually find better people to be around, but being alone isn't that bad once you get used to it. Edit: Also, unless your gaming community is extremely small and localized, that threat is just idiotic. Most gamers really couldn't care any less, and I've literally seen some get shouted out of a lobby for being homophobic. There's just a small percentage who would care in the least, and they're not worth the energy to worry about them.
@impishlyit9780 Oh heck! So it's been a year, I am no longer friends with any of them from that little group. I went no contact with most of my family. I lost everything and was homeless for a little bit. But I bounced back better than ever. I'm proud to say I am happier than I've been in years. I found friends who love and accept me. I found a job that I adore and that takes care of me. I'm not alone, thank you

5:44 Bro yesterday a kid asked me about “men who’ve had the surgery” he was talking about trans femmes and for a full ten seconds I thought he was asking me about if men who’ve had vasectomies can play sports.
Omg, the archeologist expert at the end was the best part of this video. It made my day. I want to go read those other articles they mentioned. Also, I keep imagining that 1000 years in the future, humans will evolve beyond transphobia and trans ness it will just be more commonplace. It’s bizarre to think of a future in 1000 years on this planet where humans are still arguing over “what is a man?” That’s like saying that gay couples who are buried together will be viewed as “just roommates” if they are dug up in 1000 years … instead of the wild possibility that maybe in 1000 years, ppl will cease to care if a relationship is same or opposite gender (or no gender at all) and just admit the obvious fact that they are a couple. Sheesh.
I wouldn't even call Julie an archaeology expert, as that would imply a specialization in it, when in fact she is a chaotic storm of bisexual energy that knows no intellectual bounds.

As a scandinavian, I'm actually quite impressed with your pronounciation of Blåhaj (how it's spelled in danish) was! The Ikea shark! It was almost identical to how a dane would pronounce its name!
I was told that "å" is pronounced /o/, not /a/. And the 'j' is pronounced as either a /y/ or an /i/ in most germanic languages other than English. So I would think "Blåhaj" would be pronounced more like, /blowhi/.
I've only been watching this channel for a month or two, but I cruised older videos. If I remember correctly, he called The Click to have him pronounce it on speakerphone. The same with the bear. I just remember OT asking "Hey Click, how do you pronounce this?" and beginning to spell it out then halfway through Click's confusion dissipates and he cuts OT off, "Oh. Is this the IKEA thing? 🤨" OT: "Yeah!" Click: (🙄 < obvious in his tone) "It's 'bla-ha'..." OT repeats it back. Click repeats and says yep that's right. OT thanks him and goes to proceed with the video and Click's reaction is basically "That's *it?* That's all you called me for?" --- I remember it so distinctly because the exchange and reaction was just so hilarious to me.
@@MonicaCGruber sadly *I* do not. He did it again with the one that was the giant... Bear(?) Clicks reaction to that one was noticeably different and it was also extra hilarious because OT trying to approaching it the same way but there were lots of non English letters that he was trying to describe such as ä, ö, ü ect, but he didn't know the word for "umlaut" so OT calls up Click and is like "hey how do you pronounce this?" (Click seems in a pretty good mood but then does like a sigh because he's being asked to pronounce something again.) OT: "[Starts with first few letters] then there's an o but there's like... Dots on top?" (Click obviously sees this as an opportunity for mischief) "well topicy wopiky, I'm *just not sure* - how many dots do you see?" These aren't collab videos these are just random times where OT called click to figure out how to say these things. There's no visual of Click it's just OT calling him on speakerphone.
It might have been an ace video with all of the memes about how all they want is garlic bread, cake, and the giant plushie from Ikea. AceAros: Why do I need a partner when I can cuddle *this?!*
My beautiful daughter is trans and that makes me ‘trans-parent’ woot Seriously tho, OT your videos have saved me as in recent months I’ve been very depressed and I have come to realise that I am gay and no matter how I try to hide this part of me I can’t deny it to myself. Thank you for being so accepting and for being such an amazing human bean Much love from Scotland 🎨💜🏴
11:04 Can confirm. In fact, given the prevalence of autism in the trans community, it's probably best, in the absence of familiarity with the trans person, to just assume that any plans you make with that person will entail only the agreed-upon activity in its most literal sense; and that the activity will continue for precisely the agreed-upon amount of time, or for the amount of time required to complete the activity, whichever is shorter.
Maybe prep for both though, better to be prepared. Basically, never agree to do anything you wouldn't want to do if they meant it literally, that just feels weird to me.
"The Knights of Easthollow" sounds like a good time to me. I'm thinking co-op worker placement game where you manage a round table full of knights, balancing between defending your land, helping local people, and questing for a magical artifact which represents your ultimate win state. I'd play that, and hell, I'm five minutes away from trying to design it too.
I'm gender fluid (AFAB, so sometimes transmasc), and also vegan, and I can not emphasize how widely that sausage party one made me smile. A MILLION TIMES YAASSS!!!
Hey I'd just like to say, these videos help a lot when I need something to distract from dysphoria. I'm in a rough place in regards to my dysphoria and being trans and this is a nice little help. Thanks =]

i looked you up because someone said you sounded like markiplier, then immediately discovered you were a trans ally so i already like you :> you also seem very chill and pleasant!!
I read that article about wearing hoodies in summer! The fourth theory down was "Body Image Concerns", which while they didn't really specify, I suppose could cover it? Another reason was "more pockets", which, yes, is always appreciated :P

I came out to my mom as bi! She accepts me!(yes I know this has nothing to do with the video, but this channel has made me feel safe & able to be myself, so I was excited to share coming out to my mom since this channel has hundreds of others like me) Update: Came out to immediate family, they also accept me!😊
interesting results, black and white was the most agreed apon, I think black was masc. shapes did generally well, and nonbinary participants generally chose female coded signs

@corvidchaos-19 Hi! Yes I feel alot better (besides not being able to sleep amd it being 4am where I live lol) the scars healed up pretty nicely, and I even went swimming for the first time again around 2 months ago and have swum publicly about 4 times now. It was definitely strange being able to walk topless in public haha.
I've recently had some gender queer related conversations in a few online groups I'm in. Identity you probably haven't heard of, but we agree should be known by more people. Gender Casual. It's a bit like a mix of gender fluid and agendered. Basically, you don't experience gender disphoria regardless of sex or gender expression, but desire having the option to change your gender at will. Gender Casual people also tend to have partial to complete indifference to being referred to by any particular set of pronouns UNLESS there is obvious intent to misgender.
I love this! I'm pretty sure I fall into Gender Apathetic myself, as the line about "indifference to pronouns" unless obvious malicious intent is involved is 100% me, but the only time I've intentionally let people believe I was the wrong gender was to be left alone while playing an online videogame lol
THIS! This is me!!! I usually use the labels Agender and Genderqueer, interchangeably, to describe myself, but that definition of Gender Casual pretty much 100% describes my connection to my gender! 😄 (The only thing different is that I do have some minor chest dysphoria, and I do want top surgery to alleviate that, but otherwise, everything else is spot on! 😊)
I listen to this while making art, and i love it as someone who is ace paragirl and pan. i will always love these supportive videos that gove me a break from the normal homophobic society
OT, you have no idea how much I needed your cheer and upbeat-ness today.

Appointment is set! I’m gonna get me some anti-cis-tamines!!
Thank you for making these kinds of videos. I’m watching them while starting my transition while living with my very conservative grandmother. They always make me smile and remind me that things will get easier 💚
19:41 I really don't get those people. I have a 'friend' who's like that. I was going through a lot of stuff that time and accidentally blurted out to her how I am ace and probably trans (it was only hinted tho) and how I don't have any feelings for guys and even might be aro. After that, she'd keep asking me in front of others 'jokingly', "when are you going to marry and bring in a husband?" I used to be close with her but after I corrected her more 4 times and she STILL kept doing that, I gave up and grew apart from her. Good riddance

Ever since I started watching the trans meme videos, it's actually helped me write a story I'd started during the pandemic. As a cisgender American woman, it's actually a bit difficult to write a story about a transmasc Egyptian youth adopted and raised just north of London; some things I'd already known about were among the first things to get written in, like using hoodies to hide curves when not wearing a binder, but otherwise it's hard to get into my character's mind to understand him. However, some of the things I'd come across in these videos - like anything pertaining to ancient civilizations - helped me with some of the cultural parts of the writing (for example, he and his biological family are more attuned to the ancient theology than modern Islam, so the story basically ends with him being granted his true body by Horus' mother, since that was something She could do). Each time something comes up that I wasn't able to learn in school for homophobic/transphobic reasons, it helps me get to know my character better.
Sometimes I feel guilty for being trans. Naturally I have a really nice figure, like biggish butt, hourglass body etc but I feel like I should be grateful for it If that makes any sense
Fucking yes!!! I have the same issue, so many women and even my mother keep going on about how much of a shame it is cause "you have such amazing figure" and I'm like...it's not my choice? If I could trade it like a pokeman card I freaking would! But I was born with a very good feminine figure but that doesn't make me comfortable with it. Makes me question stuff and I feel so guilty, like sick to my stomach, that's its like "a waste of figure" but it's not a choice, you're just born in a body, if you're not comfortable then it doesn't matter how 'beautiful' the body is its still not comfortable. And that's the part that matters. Sorry for the rant it's just upsetting to feel guilty for being uncomfortable in a body you didn't ask for, they get upset cause that's the body they want but it's not the body that you want.
I'm cis so I can't relate completely, but I'd say it's kind of like being gifted a really nice jacket or shoes. Sure it looks great, but you didn't ask for it and it's just not something you want to wear. :)
If your body doesn't work for you, you should accept no shame or guilt for wanting to change it. I have some conventionally attractive features too, and I can accept that if I look at myself objectively, but I don't really *feel* it, you know? People can't just force themselves to like something that doesn't suit them.
I think we’ve all been conditioned to internalize a lot of things that we don’t actually need/want/feel. I just keep telling myself that all those good “feminine” features will take on a new life as I transition and my mind and body will be happier for it. 😌
The idea that a 'good female figure' is an hourglass with a big butt is arbitrary anyway. 20 years ago having a big butt was considered unattractive or an insult, now its popular. Its shitty that a person can only have a 'nice figure' when they're shaped in one specific way, and that they should be made to feel like that should dictate what gender they should perform. Nobodies body is better or worse because of the ways its shaped. Every body is a good body.
16:16 i can relate a lot. At work most of people refer to me as woman. I started wearing binders and all but still i think I have too feminine face, i literaly wanted to quit because these people get into my mentality a lot but there were 2 people last Month that refered to me In masc form. I was so happy and thanked them but whenever they hered my voice they started to say sorry that they assumed Im a boy. So close but so far. The same sytuation comes to my mother. Whenever we go past strangers and they refer to me as a man my mom ,,corrects" them that Im hers daughter even if i told her so many times that I want to be a boy but still even if she accepts me in short hair and binder she dont use correct form and pronounce... it hurt a lot and I want to corect her every time but shes my mother that want good for me... I cant be mad
16:16 the fact that this exact same thing happened to me and it made me realize I was trans I was on the bus with a "friend" of mine (it wasn't really good friendship so that's why it's in quotes) and I had my hair short, so one of her friends behind us only saw my hair and said (we'll say a fake name) "Abby, is that your brother?" And my heart skipped a beat and I felt really happy for some reason and then Abby shut it down like "No, she's a girl!!!" and he kept apologizing and I genuinely felt upset because of that one, definitely had some reflection to do after that
I think I've had this before, but I myself (long before I came out as trans, even before I knew what it was) was the one to correct the guy who misgendered me. But I see the fakeness in it. What an ass-hat. Know that you deserve so much better, now go have a beautiful day you beautiful beautiful bean❤❤❤

So I’m non-binary and when I’m at work when one of my managers talks over the mic she says “Okay ladies, gentlemen, and menaces to society.” I’ve never laughed harder I love her dearly.
Perfect description
I say kings, queens and inbetweens.
and i thought "ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between" was cool. she wins🏆
It's even better because it's not "menaces to humanity" or "menaces to mankind." Specifically society, and we all know why.
Just though of how Markiplier phrased it, "good evening ladies, gentlemen and all other configurations of being". I like that one.
Fun fact: The ancient greeks viewed Dionysus, who had been disguised as a girl to hide him from Hera growing up, as the patron saint of trans people. They also believed that trans people occurred because Apollo would sometimes create people with the wrong genitals when drunk. Considering that Dionysus is also the god of alcohol, what's this say about their relationship?
I mean... most of the Greek gods(specifically the gods, the goddesses were mostly straight with a few who could be interpreted as aro/ace) were pretty explictly bi/pan and incredibly horny. Apollo is part of that "most"
What you're implying is probably completely accurate.
"God was drunk on the day I was made" is now my explanation for all of me.
I actually half finished a project in greek/roman art history on this glass skyphos that featured iconography of the cult of Dionysus, and there was so much (not even overt) gender queer stuff I found along the way that I can probably contribute like at least 35% of my gradual awakening to that project alone. Honestly the reason I gave up on it was because I couldn't figure out how to order and compress all info I'd learned about the cult's and the god's relation to gender, societal roles, life, etc. I was also very emotionally overwhelmed in the most livening way. Sorry to ramble.
They also have a myth that explains why some desire men and other desire women (it's called the origin of love, if I remember correctly)
The Ancient Greeks may have been extremely patriarchal, but in some ways they still managed to be more accepting than most countries today...
@@lampekartoffel It is often overstated how patriarchal their societies were. It did have some instances of men being viewed better over women but a lot of articles overhype that for the views and clicks. It wasn't nearly as simple as men over women.

Another fun bone fact, only about 60% of people born with ovaries have what you hs biology book called "female" pelvis, that's one of the reasons why we have so many c-sections. The difference in bone structure is much less apparent than all those graphic shows, they're like "most extreme scenario". But yeah, archaeologists/historians should be able to understand trans people existed and what transition options we had in our times.
Yeah, I took a course on identifying bones and there’s so much they look at, plus it seems basically impossible to determine with 100% certainty even in cisgender people! Moreover in the case of trans people who have had surgeries like facial feminization for example, I find it funny that transphobic people think that wouldn’t be noticed by archeologists … ? I know my sister had her browbone shaved down and has bits of metal in her jaw as part of feminization, preeeeeetty sure archeologists will be able to see those marks and note she’s trans lol

In the car one night, my mother just stopped be from getting out and showed me this thing on Facebook about how “transwomen are taking away what the word woman means”. I just looked at her and said “how r they taking it away?” And she said “because they are!” And I said “ok, how?” And she was silent for awhile. She finally turned to me again and said “They’re taking MY women hood away! I don’t want to meet with someone and have to tell them I don’t have a penie” and I said “well don’t then? They don’t have to know that information anyway? And if you’re that worried about it, just tell them your a cis-woman, not what’s in your pants?” Then she started getting mad saying “Again with this cis stuff! I don’t wanna be called a “cis woman” and I want to be a woman! And so I shut her up by giving the point of “yea, well trans woman don’t want to be called a “trans-woman” they want to be called a woman, but people like you aren’t allowing that. And it’s also people like you who get mad that we separated cis and trans women with names, EVEN THO THATS WHAT U ASKED FOR. I’m a man mother, I don’t want you and others to call me “trans-man” I just want u to call me a man- but you won’t do that, will you?” And she shut tf up.

The Problem with "Dead Gender" would be that the dead name is something a trans person factually had. The assigned gender at birth however was never true for the person as it was falsely assigned to them.
I hope you can understand what I mean.
I get that, I honestly feel like agab is the best thing to say, unless you want to have a very confusing conversation where you constantly have to say, "no, that my wrong gender" because "wrong gender" would be the closest to a "dead gender"
And of course when dealing with certain flavours of nonbinary it's not so much 'dead' or 'wrong' as it is only part of the story.
@@charlespentrose7834 Yeah I was actually thinking wether or not I should say it like this because of that, but I wanted it no be as easy to understand as possible.
Yeah, usually when someone is mentioning their agab it is to say something relevant about their experience. How we are socialized (either as boys or girls) has a huge impact on us, so mentioning your agab is relevant information about your experience, even if it was not the correct gender (or in some nonbinary cases only correct partially or part of the time).
Using 'dead-gender' doesn't say the same thing that you would be trying to convey by sharing your agab in most cases. (Although I guess it could be used as a synonym of how I've been using 'agab', without being specific.)
@@badfox1133 Being understood is important.
The bathroom door thing caught me off guard because WE LITERALLY DID THAT IN COLLEGE.... It was our industrial art project which, according to our teacher was supposed to "make people think".
Yeah, they thought all right. For three days we changed the signs out with different and very random images. By the end of the third day, people were literally walking ten minutes to go to the building next door's restroom because they couldn't figure out 'sunflower v rose' or 'stick figure with ten arms v stick figure with ten legs'! That was fourteen years ago xD
"fish" and "sandal", however, can backfire, because the toxic cis-men will think "fish"=="woman".
I prefer, "light bulb" and "pineapple". But even better would be "horse" and "boat" … because both of those are "neuter-nouns" in German. Ha! Jokes on you transphobes!
That s awesome!
Lmao
Clearly stick figure with ten arms is multitaskers and stick figure with ten legs is a frequent traveler, seems easy enough to me /j
Lmao I actually like the idea of replacing the male and female signs with other things but like, also the chaos means it wouldn't last long ^^'
This makes me want to try that too. Only "problem" is that our uni got rid of gendered bathrooms years ago so confusing people with fake gender signs wouldn't work. I'd be interested to know which sign people would choose, though, just as a kind of personality test

As an asexual, I find it very interesting that when two skeletons were discovered to have been embracing during a major disaster, the immediate conclusion was "lovers," and when it was determined that they were both female, they were further classified as "lesbians." Like. If my town explodes, that could be me and my sister or me and my afab sibling, or me and my female best friend, holding onto and comforting each other as we die. I mean, why does every image of love have to be assumed to be a sexual or romantic relationship? Love is so much more than that. I love a lot of people very deeply, and I have no romantic or sexual interest in any of the people I love.
That is an excellent point.
exactly what i was gonna say!
Honestly well put, love doesn't mean what so many people think it means and love is not physical attraction, imo it's smth deeper and more sacred that doesn't need physical attraction to exist, it transcends that nonsense. In the context of that archeological discovery though, we can't actually really say which with nothing else but the two skeletons to go off of, other then they clearly had some sorta connection, though it'd be neat if there was any hard evidence for either way
Excellent point, @floatingeyeballs44. If I ended up with a total stranger as we died in a disaster, we would probably be hugging, comforting each other and ourselves, simply as two fellow human beings with empathy and a need for connection as members of a social species.
When I first read this story, I thought, "How do they know that they were lovers?" Archaeologists love to paint a story, and that can help some people relate to humans from the distant past, but there are so many other possibilities (including a wealthy woman embracing her female slave; maybe she was even abusive and horrible to the slave, but, at the moment of death, they both preferred the comfort of hugging another human). They shouldn't jump to conclusions.
In research papers, there's a section where the authors are required to discuss all the other possible interpretations and acknowledge the unknowns, but popular media loves to oversimplify and portray findings in sensationalized ways that raise their ratings and make them more money. This is antithetical to educating the public. One of the myriad problems with capitalism. We need communalism; we need to structure society to reward greed as little as possible. But that's another subject. ////Bunny kisses for all!
@OdinsSage Yes, I understood the joke perfectly well the first time I saw it. My memory isn't great due to CFS, but I believe the joke is based on an actual series of archaeological media reports. We can get the joke yet continue to discuss the actual cultural happenings on which it is based, as well as the complexity of interpreting limited clues in archaeology.
Notice that @floatingeyeballs44 isn't directly talking about the cartoon, but the story it references. The default assumption of heterosexual lovers is indeed queer erasure. If OP is correct (I think so, IIRC), and the "lovers" were relabeled "lesbians" as soon as it was discovered that their bodies were both female, then that could be considered erasure of asexuals, and trans, and NB, as well as ignoring all the other possibilities.
I'm well aware of the sexism, heteronormativity, etc. that has plagued science, medicine, and history, such as medicines having been tested only on white men until recent times. But thanks for explaining the cartoon for anyone who didn't get it. Just don't assume that discussion of the facts behind the joke means that we didn't get it. I thought it was funny; I love humor that "punches up" at The Man or satirizes flaws in self-satisfied mainstream thinking. ////Bunny kisses for all!

As someone studying Anthropology, I can tell you that so far gender is not a a clearly defined global-culturally defined thing, and that many nonbinary and trans genders actually played an important, mostly spiritual part in many human cultures. So don't forget, if you AREN'T cis, then you could be a deity's reincarnation, or a prophet, or a spiritual guide, or a great healer of all wounds by the very nature of your gender.
I didn’t know deity incarnations or healing powers were apart of enby history. Where can I learn more about this?

I think something a lot of people need to hear and think about is that they shouldn't worry about how they present to the world.
You could be a very feminine person, but you're no less of a man than if you were to be masculine. You shouldn't worry about how OTHERS see you.. Because in the short lives we have, it's not something to stick your heads on. You can have an outward appearance of anything you want, but still be considered a certain gender even if you aren't outwardly that gender.
This is something a friend taught me a while back. It doesn't matter what other people think, it's what YOU are comfortable with that matters. If you want to be super masculine go for it! If you want to be feminine do it! But what you shouldn't do ever is conform to what OTHER people think you should be.
If you are AFAB but you're trans masc then I support you in any way you want. If you want to do all these things that make you look more masculine then go ahead. But don't do it just because people say you should. Do it if it makes you happy.
Love you all, and if anyone sees this I hope this helps in any way possible.
TLDR: Do what makes you happy, not what others want you to do

I've never felt like just a guy in womens clothes. It just feels that right and natural to me, like if anything I'm righting a lifelong wrong. It's cathartic in a way. And this is coming from someone who habitually second guesses and overthinks practically everything I do. I'm 31 and a little over a week into hrt. I'm lucky enough to be in a very supportive environment at home and even at work, and I hope everyone can find that. Stay strong and follow your heart
So I dont think anyone I know will see this. But finding these videos has been so good for my mental health. To be able to relate and laugh has been so amazing.
Last year I tried coming out as trans. Only to be rejected by almost everyone. My best friend threatened to ostracize me from our friend group and gaming community if I transitioned.
So here I am pretending to be cis so I dont end up completely alone.
These videos help me feel less alone.
Nah, be alone. It's literally better than being with people like that, and that's not your friend. You'll eventually find better people to be around, but being alone isn't that bad once you get used to it.
Edit: Also, unless your gaming community is extremely small and localized, that threat is just idiotic. Most gamers really couldn't care any less, and I've literally seen some get shouted out of a lobby for being homophobic. There's just a small percentage who would care in the least, and they're not worth the energy to worry about them.
@impishlyit9780
Oh heck! So it's been a year, I am no longer friends with any of them from that little group. I went no contact with most of my family. I lost everything and was homeless for a little bit.
But
I bounced back better than ever. I'm proud to say I am happier than I've been in years. I found friends who love and accept me. I found a job that I adore and that takes care of me.
I'm not alone, thank you
My teetus deletus surgery is tomorrow, and this is exactly the stress relief I needed today! Thank you OT!!
This is the best thing I've ever heard top surgery be referred to as.
Hey i do wonder
What if people could donate those?
Give them to someone who could need them
Congrats and good luck tomorrow!
Hope it goes well for you and are satisfied with the results.
It's gonna be a big weight off your chest afterwards.
@@seantaggart7382 That would be a good idea! Trans women, people who have had their breasts removed due to breast cancer, etc. Good thinking, if they can make it work!
I’ve now been on estrogen for about 4 weeks. Things are going… very rough at home. I have no doubt this will be worth it though. Unfortunately my parents are not particularly supportive. These videos always make me smile.
Thank you for doing these.
I hope that one day you have the support system you need to help you thrive, and have a much more happier life.
Take care and we’re so proud of you!! ❤️
Give the queen a crown 👑 I've been hesitant to start estrogen myself for fear of unacceptance and transphobic harassment. You're already braver than me. Keep being a queen and I really hope you find a good group of people who love and accept you for who you are.

Bro yesterday a kid asked me about “men who’ve had the surgery” he was talking about trans femmes and for a full ten seconds I thought he was asking me about if men who’ve had vasectomies can play sports.
I just started T last week, and I am so excited. These videos always cheer me up, and remind me of how far things have come ☺️
Awesome :D
Congrats! I unfortunately have to wait a few years since I'm only 13-

Yooo congratulations!!
Omg, the archeologist expert at the end was the best part of this video. It made my day. I want to go read those other articles they mentioned.
Also, I keep imagining that 1000 years in the future, humans will evolve beyond transphobia and trans ness it will just be more commonplace. It’s bizarre to think of a future in 1000 years on this planet where humans are still arguing over “what is a man?”
That’s like saying that gay couples who are buried together will be viewed as “just roommates” if they are dug up in 1000 years … instead of the wild possibility that maybe in 1000 years, ppl will cease to care if a relationship is same or opposite gender (or no gender at all) and just admit the obvious fact that they are a couple. Sheesh.
I wouldn't even call Julie an archaeology expert, as that would imply a specialization in it, when in fact she is a chaotic storm of bisexual energy that knows no intellectual bounds.
@@sarahschiller28 Oh, I thought she studied archeology, but I guess she is more like an enthusiastic encyclopedia? Awesome! I would like to read the articles she mentioned, but I can't find her on social media. I don't have TikTok.
Well, if you end up living 1,000 years into the future due to being a vampire and all, you can honestly answer them, "A miserable little pile of secrets."
Yeah I recently read this book called Pet and everyone was super accepting of lgbt people and unfortunately I was surprised but I really hope this is what the future looks like

16:29 This is what made my egg crack. Literally I was singing Karaoke with my dad and someone called me his son. That split second before my dad corrected him was the greatest joy I had ever felt. That’s when I was like oh crap I’m a man
All the movies you mentioned are so good and so underrated. Muppet Treasure Island and Treasure Planet were fantastic :) I remember seeing Atlantis in theaters and absolutely loving it.

I guessed the video afterwards lol
As a scandinavian, I'm actually quite impressed with your pronounciation of Blåhaj (how it's spelled in danish) was! The Ikea shark! It was almost identical to how a dane would pronounce its name!
I was told that "å" is pronounced /o/, not /a/.
And the 'j' is pronounced as either a /y/ or an /i/ in most germanic languages other than English.
So I would think "Blåhaj" would be pronounced more like, /blowhi/.
I've only been watching this channel for a month or two, but I cruised older videos. If I remember correctly, he called The Click to have him pronounce it on speakerphone. The same with the bear.
I just remember OT asking "Hey Click, how do you pronounce this?" and beginning to spell it out then halfway through Click's confusion dissipates and he cuts OT off, "Oh. Is this the IKEA thing? 🤨"
OT: "Yeah!"
Click: (🙄 < obvious in his tone) "It's 'bla-ha'..."
OT repeats it back. Click repeats and says yep that's right. OT thanks him and goes to proceed with the video and Click's reaction is basically "That's *it?* That's all you called me for?"
---
I remember it so distinctly because the exchange and reaction was just so hilarious to me.
Do you remember which video it was. I'm asking for anyone who checks this comment chain so they can watch and laugh too.
@@MonicaCGruber sadly *I* do not. He did it again with the one that was the giant... Bear(?) Clicks reaction to that one was noticeably different and it was also extra hilarious because OT trying to approaching it the same way but there were lots of non English letters that he was trying to describe such as ä, ö, ü ect, but he didn't know the word for "umlaut" so OT calls up Click and is like "hey how do you pronounce this?" (Click seems in a pretty good mood but then does like a sigh because he's being asked to pronounce something again.)
OT: "[Starts with first few letters] then there's an o but there's like... Dots on top?"
(Click obviously sees this as an opportunity for mischief) "well topicy wopiky, I'm *just not sure* - how many dots do you see?"
These aren't collab videos these are just random times where OT called click to figure out how to say these things. There's no visual of Click it's just OT calling him on speakerphone.
It might have been an ace video with all of the memes about how all they want is garlic bread, cake, and the giant plushie from Ikea.
AceAros: Why do I need a partner when I can cuddle *this?!*
For any transgender person watching this video, best of luck in transitioning and with transphobes!
Thank you, I really needed that today :)
Thanks bro

Thanks bud!
thank you, but I don't really feel like transitioning :D
Of course, it's Gallus that suggests the bathroom sign thing becomes science :) I love their Tumblr stories.

Can confirm. In fact, given the prevalence of autism in the trans community, it's probably best, in the absence of familiarity with the trans person, to just assume that any plans you make with that person will entail only the agreed-upon activity in its most literal sense; and that the activity will continue for precisely the agreed-upon amount of time, or for the amount of time required to complete the activity, whichever is shorter.
Maybe prep for both though, better to be prepared. Basically, never agree to do anything you wouldn't want to do if they meant it literally, that just feels weird to me.
"The Knights of Easthollow" sounds like a good time to me. I'm thinking co-op worker placement game where you manage a round table full of knights, balancing between defending your land, helping local people, and questing for a magical artifact which represents your ultimate win state. I'd play that, and hell, I'm five minutes away from trying to design it too.

I've recently had some gender queer related conversations in a few online groups I'm in. Identity you probably haven't heard of, but we agree should be known by more people. Gender Casual. It's a bit like a mix of gender fluid and agendered. Basically, you don't experience gender disphoria regardless of sex or gender expression, but desire having the option to change your gender at will. Gender Casual people also tend to have partial to complete indifference to being referred to by any particular set of pronouns UNLESS there is obvious intent to misgender.
Sounds like Gender Apathetic but instead of not caring if you switched you want the gender remote yourself.
I love it.
I love this! I'm pretty sure I fall into Gender Apathetic myself, as the line about "indifference to pronouns" unless obvious malicious intent is involved is 100% me, but the only time I've intentionally let people believe I was the wrong gender was to be left alone while playing an online videogame lol
THIS! This is me!!!
I usually use the labels Agender and Genderqueer, interchangeably, to describe myself, but that definition of Gender Casual pretty much 100% describes my connection to my gender! 😄
(The only thing different is that I do have some minor chest dysphoria, and I do want top surgery to alleviate that, but otherwise, everything else is spot on! 😊)
I'm transitioning currently but I'd describe my relationship to it as gender casual.

Ever since I started watching the trans meme videos, it's actually helped me write a story I'd started during the pandemic. As a cisgender American woman, it's actually a bit difficult to write a story about a transmasc Egyptian youth adopted and raised just north of London; some things I'd already known about were among the first things to get written in, like using hoodies to hide curves when not wearing a binder, but otherwise it's hard to get into my character's mind to understand him. However, some of the things I'd come across in these videos - like anything pertaining to ancient civilizations - helped me with some of the cultural parts of the writing (for example, he and his biological family are more attuned to the ancient theology than modern Islam, so the story basically ends with him being granted his true body by Horus' mother, since that was something She could do). Each time something comes up that I wasn't able to learn in school for homophobic/transphobic reasons, it helps me get to know my character better.
12:49 behold Plato an adult human female! *Holds up a featherless chicken*
Man that dude was insane
I had gotten this one
for myself and this
one for my bestie. It was awesome.
Sometimes I feel guilty for being trans. Naturally I have a really nice figure, like biggish butt, hourglass body etc but I feel like I should be grateful for it
If that makes any sense
Fucking yes!!! I have the same issue, so many women and even my mother keep going on about how much of a shame it is cause "you have such amazing figure" and I'm like...it's not my choice? If I could trade it like a pokeman card I freaking would! But I was born with a very good feminine figure but that doesn't make me comfortable with it. Makes me question stuff and I feel so guilty, like sick to my stomach, that's its like "a waste of figure" but it's not a choice, you're just born in a body, if you're not comfortable then it doesn't matter how 'beautiful' the body is its still not comfortable. And that's the part that matters. Sorry for the rant it's just upsetting to feel guilty for being uncomfortable in a body you didn't ask for, they get upset cause that's the body they want but it's not the body that you want.
I'm cis so I can't relate completely, but I'd say it's kind of like being gifted a really nice jacket or shoes. Sure it looks great, but you didn't ask for it and it's just not something you want to wear. :)
If your body doesn't work for you, you should accept no shame or guilt for wanting to change it.
I have some conventionally attractive features too, and I can accept that if I look at myself objectively, but I don't really *feel* it, you know? People can't just force themselves to like something that doesn't suit them.
I think we’ve all been conditioned to internalize a lot of things that we don’t actually need/want/feel.
I just keep telling myself that all those good “feminine” features will take on a new life as I transition and my mind and body will be happier for it. 😌
The idea that a 'good female figure' is an hourglass with a big butt is arbitrary anyway. 20 years ago having a big butt was considered unattractive or an insult, now its popular. Its shitty that a person can only have a 'nice figure' when they're shaped in one specific way, and that they should be made to feel like that should dictate what gender they should perform. Nobodies body is better or worse because of the ways its shaped. Every body is a good body.
16:16 i can relate a lot. At work most of people refer to me as woman. I started wearing binders and all but still i think I have too feminine face, i literaly wanted to quit because these people get into my mentality a lot but there were 2 people last Month that refered to me In masc form. I was so happy and thanked them but whenever they hered my voice they started to say sorry that they assumed Im a boy. So close but so far. The same sytuation comes to my mother. Whenever we go past strangers and they refer to me as a man my mom ,,corrects" them that Im hers daughter even if i told her so many times that I want to be a boy but still even if she accepts me in short hair and binder she dont use correct form and pronounce... it hurt a lot and I want to corect her every time but shes my mother that want good for me... I cant be mad

16:16 the fact that this exact same thing happened to me and it made me realize I was trans
I was on the bus with a "friend" of mine (it wasn't really good friendship so that's why it's in quotes) and I had my hair short, so one of her friends behind us only saw my hair and said (we'll say a fake name) "Abby, is that your brother?" And my heart skipped a beat and I felt really happy for some reason and then Abby shut it down like "No, she's a girl!!!" and he kept apologizing and I genuinely felt upset because of that one, definitely had some reflection to do after that
I think I've had this before, but I myself (long before I came out as trans, even before I knew what it was) was the one to correct the guy who misgendered me.
But I see the fakeness in it. What an ass-hat. Know that you deserve so much better, now go have a beautiful day you beautiful beautiful bean❤❤❤
