My “oh wait I’m trans” moment was at Disney. My group got up early enough it was still chilly, so I wore a sweater and shoved all my hair up into a hat to “protect the dye from getting bleached by the sun.” I saw my shadow and did a double take because it looked like a guy’s. I’d always naturally looked super femme, so that had never happened before. Out of nowhere I was ridiculously, could not stop smiling, happy to the point it was almost overwhelming. The feeling went away as soon as it got too hot to keep the sweater on. I was 17 and had never once considered that I could’ve been trans before then, but that moment cut through years of dissociation and slapped me in the face.
My “oh wait, I’m trans” moment was that I thought I had a crush on Alastor from hazbin hotel (a year ago) but then I realized that I wanted to *be* him, and that I’m a trans man
Omg I had this too!! It wasn't a crush, but it was an admiration of the two British TV presenters Ant and Dec. It was just such a 'wait I want their gender' moment
That was me with one of my kpop boys and I was like WAIT A MINUTE, I don't wanna date him, I wanna BE him. But that was 5 years ago. But honestly that moment only reminded me that I used to play pretend with my cousins and I was always one of the boy characters.
I have a fear of the concept of nothingness, death, lack of death, infinity, nothing for infinity I’d want to live as long as I’d choose, not infinity, that’s actually terrifying
My oldest child is AFAB but loves to wear “boy” clothes and “boy” toys. They are being raised as a girl but if one day she tells me or my partner that she is a boy and wants to change their name, we will respect that. When my friend came out to my kids, my youngest was 2 and her biggest question was if my friend would never have a beard again, my friend said yes and my child was devastated but calls her by the right name and pronouns.
@@SpecialBlanket yeah, liking boy stuff doesn’t make you a boy. But we do try to keep up that line of communication with her so that she feels safe to tell us what she needs.
My egg crack was so random, I barely even remember my exact thought process. I was watching some show that involved a gender swap, and I was thinking something like 'Why do they always do pointless gender swaps? What difference does it even make? Who actually cares about gender...... . . . . Oh wait I'm agender'
Mine was after spending months of questioning my gender. I just looked at myself in the mirror and said screw gender. And a few days later I realized that I’m agender.
For me, there was a couple of trans guys playing music in a practice room together at my school. I asked if I could play piano with them, and they said “You can only come in if you’re trans.” I got a bit disappointed and was like “I’m not-“ and then stopped. Eleven years of obvious boy-ness passed across my mind in a second, and I just said “Oh, _fuck…_” and then started violently sobbing. Good times.
When I was 11 and was buying new clothes with my mom for junior high, (I’m non-binary, just didn’t entirely know it back then) and I wanted to buy some cargo pants. My mom told me, “Are you sure? They’re going to make you look less like a girl.” Wanna know what I responded with? “That’s the point.”
My "oh wait I'm trans" moment was when my ex gave me one of his binders and I wore that, some jeans I got from my father and a long sleeve T-Shirt I also got from my father, had my hair short, und looked in the mirror. I was only questioning up until then, but when I saw myself as guy, I cried and was like yes. This is it. This is me.
The first time I got called a boy (I'm a trans guy) it was actually really awkward bc I walked into a bathroom and then a random woman told me the boy's bathroom was next door. Usually this would be great but I had only recently cut my hair and started presenting more masc so it was my first incident of something like that. Also it enlightened the fact that I had to go to the women's bathroom bc I was closeted
my transfem fiancee went into the store the other day and this super old man half bumped her not paying attention leaving the store, said "sorry sir", looked up to meet the gaze of my fiancee and then quickly CORRECTED HIMSELF with the most sincere apology. she came back to the car grinning ear to ear and squealing about how a really old man accidently misgendered her and then corrected it when he looked up and saw her. it made me melt how happy she was.
My moment of “wow, I am trans” was literally in my therapist’s office when I was 16 in a psychiatric hospital where there were groups split up into girls and boys. I HATED being in the girl group and my therapist tried to figure out with me why I felt so uncomfortable. And I just blurted out: “Because I’m not a girl.” That was the first time I ever said it out loud and the first time I really admitted it to myself, too.
My moment was uh yesterday and uh I can't stop thinking about it now and I need help and my parents are transphobic so that's really fun but I'm glad it worked out for you
19:29 I was talking with my friends(who are trans) and out of nowhere I thought "I'm a girl... Why am I a girl? There's nothing I like about being a girl... Wait, I don't need to be a girl, maybe I'm trans"
Wait, what if the events of Inside Out is a memory accessed from after Riley transitioned, but their deadname has been blocked out and replaced with their chosen name out of respect. Riley is a more masculine name but it has been used for girls often enough to make it more gender neutral.
My moment was when I was 14 and discovered Glee for the first time. I was living as a girl at the time, and I took one look at Kurt and Blaine’s relationship and went “That. I want that. I want to love a boy as a boy.” 😭😅 - not even kidding
@@TheCinnamonRollz yeah TERFs would flip their shit if there was any big LGBT character in a Disney Disney’s Pixar movie even when it’s very coded they flip their shit like live action Beauty And The Beast.
I know this is a trans positive vid, but I just want to give a massive s/o to Imane Khelif an Algerian boxer who's a cis women facing transphobia because she beat people in the Olympics so badly that her opponent withdrew and she's being transvestigated. She ended up beating one of the main people in her event who repeatedly misgendered her and called her a man. Transphobia affects everyone, not just trans people, and it's also often rooted in racism and misogyny. But go Imane!
I had the very similar thought of, "well, yeah, of course trans women are correct to want to live as a woman. But it's all just a bit... _self-indulgent,_ isn't it?"
19:20 We were doing state testing. I finished early like the nerd I am. I was sitting there with only my own thoughts. All of a sudden I think, “I hate how large my chest is. Why can’t I have a flat chest like all the boys?” And I identified as nonbinary for a while before now identifying as genderfluid. I came out to my friends shortly after, and later my amazing trans uncle and parents. Sadly my parents took it badly but I just have to wait until I move out and then I can do whatever I want with my hair and I can bind and maybe get top surgery if I want it. But for now watching Jamie is a pretty good escape ❤
I don't know if there was a particular moment when I realized I was trans. However, there was this moment after I realized I was Bi, and after I had come out of high-control religion, when I thought, "If I'm not straight like I was told I was supposed to be, does that mean I could not be a woman, too? No, no way. " And that kicked off my months of denial that eventually gave way to realizing that I was non-binary.
Omg, the moment I realized I was trans was split into 2 phases as well. My husband (also trans) asked if I would be comfortable if he tried dressing as a guy. I half jokingly said. "only if you let me dress like a girl too." So we did. I had never felt more happy and beautiful in that moment, and thought it was because I was gender fluid. The time I realized I was actually a transfem was while I was laying down in bed relaxing and I got an unprovoked erection. It made me so angry and made me feel so gross... So I thought about why, and realized... "Oh shit. I'm actually just trans."
Oh, I'm sorry :( That sucks @ random boners. I'm glad it doesn't bother my transfem partner. She doesn't rly have dysphoria only euphoria? Can't relate at ALL, i pretty much only have dysphoria :-/
There was a theory out there that Riley from Inside Out was bigender or some other kind of enby because she had both male and female emotions, while the other characters' emotions were consistent in their gender.
while that is probably just because they are main characters and the others just exist for a few small jokes, i do have that headcanon as well (until disproven at least, but i hope they make it a future story though they probably wont)
I'm non-binary and androgynous, and I've finally started dressing the way I feel comfortable, and it's amazing! My sister mentioned several times at our last family gathering how much more comfortable and confident I look now that I'm not trying to be a clone of my cousins! 😊
I always said that Riley is probably gender fluid. Also, not my "oh, I'm trans" moment, but a moment that is quite trans in retrospect. When I was in kindergarten, I remember quite clearly that I wanted to be a boy when I grow up. (I also wanted to be a monkey, but that's besides the point). More than that, our kindergarten kinda developed a small gendered society within itself, in the sense that the boys played soccer, and the girls drew flowers. And there was toddler me, a girl with a specific muscle issue that meant I couldn't draw. It's better nowadays, once again this is besides the point. So, I can't draw, that must mean I'm a boy, right? And then there was this boy who really liked girl stuff like pink, and Hello Kitty, and a bunch of other stuff. I distinctly remember offering to switch genders with him (I probably didn't phrase it like that, I didn't even know the word gender existed), and I also remember his answer. That he can't, because then he wouldn't be able to marry this specific girl he had a crush on. I didn't understand what marrying her had to do with anything. I am now a trans dude. I like girls (maybe also guys, I'm not sure). Also, that kids twin brother mocked my voice a lot in primary school, and I now have voice disphoria. So, I guess I should thank these twins, they were my trans awakening? Or something, I don't know.
Hey this actually reminds me of a decently common theory that riley is some flavour of non binary because, unlike every other person whose emotions we see, riley has a pretty even mix of "female" and "male" emotions in her head.
Same here except the opposite. I wanna be a woman or want everything feature of a woman and kind of everything and also still have guy things but mostly girl like everything from walk to looks and i feel happy everytime i look so much like a woman in my reflections from the distance
I realized I liked girly things when I was about 5 years old. I remember when my mom caught be playing with my elder sister's old Barbie dolls (which she was not playing with anymore anyway) I remember saying, "I want to be a girl." My mom brushed it off and I didn't think about again until later in high school, even then I didn't know what to do about it. I would say I fully realized I was trans after feeling more comfortable in expressing myself femininly. Wearing makeup and stuff like that. I even "joked" and said "Maybe I should go all out." Meaning medically transitioning. This was around college. Of course I eventually came out as trans to my parents, began medically transitioning, met some resistance from my parents, but things worked out in the end.
This! It was exactly like this for me too! And like i've been out for two years now so i don't even think about it anymore. Whenever someone asks me how i knew i was trans i don't rlly know what to say
The first time I knew there was a word for trans was when I met my friend who was gay and in the LGBTQ community. He told me I was "a man trapped in a woman's body" and I started looking things up. I knew something was different about me when I was really young (around 5 years old approx) But hearing there was a word for me and there was a way to get the body I wanted was in my early 30's. It's been rough, but well worth the journey ever since!
I felt the clothes thing too. Before I came out I hated trying on clothes and wearing anything beyond sweatpants, now that im out I have gone clothes shopping with my grandma more than I am willing to admit and I have basically only worn a suit to public events. When little kids im helping with outside at school ask me if im a boy or a girl i just say ´what do you think’ and let them call me whatever the hell they want. There was one kid that said she thought i wasnt anything and then ran around the playground calling me ´himher’ 😂😂
My "oh wait I'm trans" moment was when I was seven. I got a haircut and on the way home I was told these exact words by my grandpa "(deadname), you're not a boy, you're a sweet, loving girl" the amount of dysphoria and discomfort I felt was enough to cause my realization
My egg crack, was when I first met a non-binary/gender queer person in grade 9. After that I started doing research and exploring with my identity. I never felt like a girl, and honestly was never interested in feminine things. Once puberty hit I got along more with my brothers then my sister. For my whole childhood I was sort of just there in society not identifying as anything. In February I started testing out other identities online. By the time March came around lockdown started and I finally got a second to sit and think about it without societies influence and came out as non-binary shortly after (i don’t remember when because covid brain) then at 16 I changed it to trans masc because I felt like thats more where I lied on the scale. Hasn’t changed since.
@@pemanilnoob It’s not. It’s definitely about the beginning of puberty and all the interior drama that comes with it, but there isn’t an indication that Riley is trans… however, it feels like she *might* be attracted to girls, so STAND BY.
My “oh wait, I’m trans” moment was in middle school, I was running in gym class alone because my friend I shared the class with was sick so I was just thinking on how gender is a social construct and how I kinda didn’t wanna participate in a traditional way and then I was like “oh sh!t I’m non-binary”, looking back there were moments where my agab nonconformity were obvious
oh yeah watching ten thousand videos about trans guys and their journeys on yt was a very cis thing for me to do 😂 "oh it's just interesting" why are you only interested in trans MEN then??? i was so oblivious for years fr
My "oh wait im trans" moment was descovered because i was watching south park and wanted to like boys the way boys like boys, (was watching an episode with tweek and craig) and the next day i cut my hair short for no reason and thought "maybe this means something" lmao
Back in 1971 I (AFAB) told my parents that I was a boy. Period. Under no circumstances were they to buy me anything created for girls. Thinking that I would soon grow out of it they went along with my wishes. Unfortunately the word Transgender wasn't in common use at the time. I didn't grow out of it. I waited 49 years to get my first testosterone dose at age 56. Now I'm 60 but still in puberty so I'm also (mostly) 15 yrs. old and it feels great.
Had the same dress story happen to me when I was 7 or 8 but I only wore the dress because it was for my Mothers wedding. No one understood and assumed I was a tomboy, even I did. Though I'm happy my mother was very accepting when I came out too her. It was scary because she had told me while she was pregnant with me she really wanted a girl (I'm afab) but now we joke that because she wished hard that I would be a girl but meant to be a boy I was born trans XD
Never excuse yourself for talking and sharing your thoughts or experiences! If I only want te see the memes, I wouldn't choose to watch your video! You are what makes me want to watch! So please, talk to us 🥰
compulsory heterosexuality would probably just be a button on the console. Shame/Embarrassment and anxiety would be in control to try to fit into society.
I didn't realise I was trans until I was 16, and I didn't change my name legally until I was 18. But the point I realised I was trans was when I met someone who became a close friend of mine with a pride flag pin on their bag that I didn't recognise (it was the demigirl flag) and when they explained it to me, and I did my own research into it, it felt right (my identity then bounced around a bit and I went through 6 different shifts in pronouns before I settled on the right ones). It was also the feeling of euphoria after I told my friends I wanted to go by a different name and they started using it immediately without question.
For an alternative as to when the “B”keeping job stops working, perhaps you could go on to the next letter and work with the Q? I imagine many places have crowds running all about, going completely unorganized, and they could profit on some lovely queues
With the “figuring out we were trans” moment: It wasn’t figuring out I was trans, but agender. I feel like I kinda always knew (kinda like how I kinda always knew I was a lesbian) but I denied that there was something different about me, and the way I express myself. I feel like it’s kinda hard to explain, but the label of “boy” or “girl” never really fit me (especially the girl part). Still kinda figuring it out, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got it now lol (Also, I really felt the “not wanting to wear a dress for something formal”. Me to a T lol)

I still remember what began the journey of my egg cracking. I was on the phone with the store and the cashier called me ma'am. I was very confused on why it felt so normal
oh my "oh wait im trans" moment was when i went to a store and the cashier called me (a transmasc who thought he was a cis girl) sir and it felt so amazing and i spent months thinking about it
My "Oh wait, I'm trans" moment happened back in the summer of 2023. At the time, I thought I was aromantic (I'm not, but at the time I thought I was) and wanted to explore other identities in the lgbtq+ community on the internet. I learned about the trans community and was basically like "These posts are relatable. Too relatable... WAIT A MINUTE!" And then about half a year of questioning later, here I am, a trans man that is STILL not out to anybody except their mom and best friend. 😐
My "Oh wait I'm trans" moment was when I had just finished eating and was going back to class. I just paused and asked myself "Wait, do I even feel like a girl ?" The answer was no.
19:20 I knew right away, from the moment I could cogitate that I was trans, simply because my bottom dysphoria was unreasonably high. At 4, I remember asking why a sibling got to have a certain set, while I was stuck with mine. 'Cause a' that, I can't relate with "Am I trans enough memes," although I'm glad they exist for those who do.
My 'Oh wait I'm trans' moment was like a year ago. So, I had convinced myself I was gender-fluid, but I just-so-happened to just feel like a boy 100% of the time. I tried googling about it and stuff, did my research, then one day I was just like 'Ooohh..' It was so funny
3:56 I haven't even gotten myself to a point of wearing clothes I like, and gosh this is a *mood*. Used to be notorious for being uninterested in fashion. Even with just laser and growing my hair out, I actually like taking photos of myself now, depending on how good I look (bonus points if I've got makeup on). 6:26 too 😭
@@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos Thank you! It wasn't really the day the egg cracked for me, it took laser and growing my hair out, but so long as I can look feminine I actually love photos now! I don't think I ever took a selfie before this year and now I've taken probably hundreds lol
My trans fem partner is dressing sooo cool now and it's SLAYING all the straight guys in our building even though she's totally pre hrt and closeted lol. They are just confused and weirdly attracted "to a guy" and it makes me giggle honestly bc I know the secret whyyyyy
my "oh wait, im trans" moment was when I was sitting in class, the teacher used my deadname and I realised 'wait, girls don't get sad at being called their name, wtf is going on'
My “oh wait I’m trans moment” was I was thinking back on my childhood memories and I remembered that my parents used to call me tomboy princess because I loved both stereotypical girl things and boy things. From there I started connecting strings to things like sometimes wanting to chop off my titties with a sword and be a cute boy with fluffy hair and other times wanting to be very pretty and feminine but I never really cared what people called me or what pronouns they used for me. I now know I’m apagender and genderfluid
Hi Jamie! I'd say my "oh wait I'm trans" moment actually came from watching your videos. I always found myself relating a lot to you, and listening to you talk about your experiences as a trans man and your journey, especially when you were younger, made me feel really uderstood. One day it just clicked as to why I related so much to you 😅.
I love that you apologized for talking about yourself a lot because you related to the memes, but please remember that we're watching because we like you! Therefore, hearing how you relate to the memes is great and nothing to apologize for!
When I was 12, I wanted to dress up as a male character for Halloween and my mom kept asking me why, and she kept pressing so hard about that that I had a moment of realization where i thought to myself 'do most girls only want to dress up as girl characters?' And then immediately followed that up with 'that is future me's problem' and promply forgot until that memory was triggered about 9 years later when I saw an info graphic about various nonbinary and genderqueer identities online
Riley in Inside Out seems to be non-binary to me. Her mom has female only emotions, her dad has male only emotions, the boy that liked her at the end of 1 had all male emotions, her friends had all female emotions, but Riley has male and female emotions
It's a nice headcanon. I think it's more than likely that Riley has feminine and masculine presenting emotions so there is variety of interactions and appeals to a broader audience. If it were all feminine voiced emotion they probably figured they would lose the attention of the male audience? Just a thought on my end. I like gender equivalency when watching my media anyway. I think Riley being nb would have more validity if we saw at least one other character with masculine and feminine presenting emotions but I don't recall there being one.
My realisation came in R.E. in year 7 when we were shown a documentary of a trans guy and asked to discuss whether one could change who they were... a friend put the pieces together and after the lesson asked me if I was trans and then said cause if you were a boy, I wouldn't be friends with you. That comment sent me so far back into the closet I got lost in Narnia for 10 years
3:42 i’m sorry but you looked like you came out of a 1970s safety film, like your gonna climb over a fence to get your football out of an electrical transformer
this dude genuinely made me realize im transmasc. oh yeah. my "oh wait, i'm trans" moment was a few months ago when my friend jokingly called me a he and a boy and stuff and then i felt extremely comforted by the fact they called me a dude.
My "Oh wow I'm trans" moment came from seeing a meme that was formated where someone was asked how often they think about being the opposite gender and them replying oh just the normal amount followed but the normal amount is zero, at that point I was already questioning but that was the final blow
(I'm an Enby 24yr old) Besides internally knowing my body wasn't right as soon as I started puberty, when I was called "young man" by a cashier in 7th grade & when I bought my very first binder & buzzed my head at 19, those are the two most memorable moments when I really felt like or could finally see myself.
My "oh wait, I'm trans" moment was when I had first met my current friend group, 4 of them being trans, and a lot of their stories about being trans, and their experiences and journeys to realizing that were similar to a lot of things I felt, so I asked them to start using he/him and masc terms just to see how it made me feel, and yeah it made me way happier lol. It also explained why I was always so uncomfortable in my body, I always thought it was because I didn't like the normal things to not like about your body as a teenage girl, it turned out to be gender dysphoria. Further proven when I wore a binder for the first time and my chest was almost completely flat, and I loved it lol.
Oh god the "are you male or female" I remember having that one with a not so supportive boss while he was trying to force everyone to add pronouns to there emails. I just couldent at that point (either lie or come out) - he decided to tell me I was being ridiculous, at which point I opened up my phones browsing history, which was at the time about 50/50 work related and trans issues reasearch. Very suddenly all of the inclusion messaging around the office was halted abruptly. I left a few months after that, and have found myself a supportive office to be me in.
My trans realization was a slow burn that took weeks to come to terms with and put into words rather than a singular moment, so instead I'll share one of those wonderful memories that turned trans. This is probably the most "how the hell did I not realize" memory, but around 4th grade I was staying the night at my best friend's house. I had some trans thoughts bumping around my head but didn't even know trans people existed yet so I didn't have the words for it. I ended up asking my friend "Do you ever feel like you were born a girl but your parents switched you?" He gave me a weird look and said no. _I then proceeded to ask it two more times the following nights!!!_ It got to the point where he stopped me and goes, "Is... is there something you need to tell me?" It wasn't until around 15 years later that I realized, "OH! Yes, I do have something to tell him." 😅
My moment was when I already asked my mum to use they/them for me because I wasn't sure yet and wanted to test it out. I think I was just standing in the kitchen one night and was like wow I'm really not a girl.
19:15 i had always been jealous of the boys in my class, i haven’t even considered being trans before. i saw some trans meme that was similar to my experience and i was like “wait…maybe i am trans…” i looked into it more, asked my trans friends some stuff and a while later figured out that i was trans :D
"Are you a boy or a girl?" Me: "Does it really matter? Are you going to treat me any differently?" I'm not trans, but I am bald, so I do get this question a lot.
I am trans masc, and it is *hell* because I measure to 36 E or 34 EE. My ribcage Was Not Made For This, My Spine Was Not Made For This, I have been reffered for reductions but the surgeon ghosted me. Next time I go in imma say double mastectomy. I'm done fucking around and pretending I want these things even a little bit. They're huge they hurt and they're always in the way. Particularly when you love climbing
my "Oh... I'm trans" was when I was 11 in a scouts camp and as a joke I put my hair into mu cap and said "Look! My name is Matias!" and all my guy friends stated to treat me as a guy and call me by he/him as a part of the joke. It felt WAY TOO GOOD to be just a joke for me
As a masc lesbian cis female, the clothes and the hair is everything. When I got to choose what I could wear and my hairstyle, I was finally becoming myself. Having long hair and being put in dresses was a nightmare.
There would be no doubt in my mind that there would definitely be a gender dysphoria emotion (for me), maybe envy's child, gender envy? Whoops I made this comment before 7:01. There also could be gender anxiety, like not thinking you're trans enough.
My, “Oh wait…” moment was getting more involved online with LGBT spaces because I am bisexual and realizing that sometimes I fit the textbook definition for gender dysphoria (I am Bi-gender). This put into context my constant instance growing up that I wasn’t a Tom Boy or a Girly Girl, but a Tom Girl.
My “oh wait I’m trans” moment was at Disney. My group got up early enough it was still chilly, so I wore a sweater and shoved all my hair up into a hat to “protect the dye from getting bleached by the sun.” I saw my shadow and did a double take because it looked like a guy’s. I’d always naturally looked super femme, so that had never happened before. Out of nowhere I was ridiculously, could not stop smiling, happy to the point it was almost overwhelming. The feeling went away as soon as it got too hot to keep the sweater on.
I was 17 and had never once considered that I could’ve been trans before then, but that moment cut through years of dissociation and slapped me in the face.
That last bit hit home a little too much 🥲
I wish you much happiness for your future

My egg crack was so random, I barely even remember my exact thought process.
I was watching some show that involved a gender swap, and I was thinking something like 'Why do they always do pointless gender swaps? What difference does it even make? Who actually cares about gender...... . . . . Oh wait I'm agender'
Mine was after spending months of questioning my gender. I just looked at myself in the mirror and said screw gender. And a few days later I realized that I’m agender.
Saaaame
For me, there was a couple of trans guys playing music in a practice room together at my school. I asked if I could play piano with them, and they said “You can only come in if you’re trans.”
I got a bit disappointed and was like “I’m not-“ and then stopped. Eleven years of obvious boy-ness passed across my mind in a second, and I just said “Oh, _fuck…_” and then started violently sobbing.
Good times.

How did that conversation end? Did you play piano with them?
When I was 11 and was buying new clothes with my mom for junior high, (I’m non-binary, just didn’t entirely know it back then) and I wanted to buy some cargo pants.
My mom told me, “Are you sure? They’re going to make you look less like a girl.”
Wanna know what I responded with? “That’s the point.”
That was me with my mom and cargo pants 😭 execpt I’m agender
That's such a power move, GG dude XD
My "oh wait I'm trans" moment was when my ex gave me one of his binders and I wore that, some jeans I got from my father and a long sleeve T-Shirt I also got from my father, had my hair short, und looked in the mirror. I was only questioning up until then, but when I saw myself as guy, I cried and was like yes. This is it. This is me.
My "oh wait, I'm trans" moment was when I looked up the wiki page for gender dysphoria out of curiosity and half of the symptoms were "literally me".
I got called "ma'am" in a super casual setting the other day, it was FANTASTIC.
The first time I got called a boy (I'm a trans guy) it was actually really awkward bc I walked into a bathroom and then a random woman told me the boy's bathroom was next door. Usually this would be great but I had only recently cut my hair and started presenting more masc so it was my first incident of something like that. Also it enlightened the fact that I had to go to the women's bathroom bc I was closeted
@@ThatOnePencilCase55which bathroom did you end up going into?
my transfem fiancee went into the store the other day and this super old man half bumped her not paying attention leaving the store, said "sorry sir", looked up to meet the gaze of my fiancee and then quickly CORRECTED HIMSELF with the most sincere apology. she came back to the car grinning ear to ear and squealing about how a really old man accidently misgendered her and then corrected it when he looked up and saw her. it made me melt how happy she was.
congrats pookie!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
we should just call everyone ma'am and then if someone gets upset be like "no i said MAN"
My moment of “wow, I am trans” was literally in my therapist’s office when I was 16 in a psychiatric hospital where there were groups split up into girls and boys. I HATED being in the girl group and my therapist tried to figure out with me why I felt so uncomfortable. And I just blurted out: “Because I’m not a girl.” That was the first time I ever said it out loud and the first time I really admitted it to myself, too.

This! Or maybe genderfluid

As has been speculated since movie 1.
Wait, what if the events of Inside Out is a memory accessed from after Riley transitioned, but their deadname has been blocked out and replaced with their chosen name out of respect. Riley is a more masculine name but it has been used for girls often enough to make it more gender neutral.
My moment was when I was 14 and discovered Glee for the first time. I was living as a girl at the time, and I took one look at Kurt and Blaine’s relationship and went “That. I want that. I want to love a boy as a boy.” 😭😅 - not even kidding

I know this is a trans positive vid, but I just want to give a massive s/o to Imane Khelif an Algerian boxer who's a cis women facing transphobia because she beat people in the Olympics so badly that her opponent withdrew and she's being transvestigated. She ended up beating one of the main people in her event who repeatedly misgendered her and called her a man. Transphobia affects everyone, not just trans people, and it's also often rooted in racism and misogyny. But go Imane!
I still can't believe I thought to myself 'Damn I wish I was a trans woman' and then didn't realise I was trans for like 2 years
I had the very similar thought of, "well, yeah, of course trans women are correct to want to live as a woman. But it's all just a bit... _self-indulgent,_ isn't it?"
Ahh yes, I feel that (but I wanted to be a transman) :DD

We were doing state testing. I finished early like the nerd I am. I was sitting there with only my own thoughts. All of a sudden I think, “I hate how large my chest is. Why can’t I have a flat chest like all the boys?” And I identified as nonbinary for a while before now identifying as genderfluid. I came out to my friends shortly after, and later my amazing trans uncle and parents. Sadly my parents took it badly but I just have to wait until I move out and then I can do whatever I want with my hair and I can bind and maybe get top surgery if I want it. But for now watching Jamie is a pretty good escape ❤
I'm sorry your parents didn't take it well😢
I don't know if there was a particular moment when I realized I was trans. However, there was this moment after I realized I was Bi, and after I had come out of high-control religion, when I thought, "If I'm not straight like I was told I was supposed to be, does that mean I could not be a woman, too? No, no way. " And that kicked off my months of denial that eventually gave way to realizing that I was non-binary.

Omg, the moment I realized I was trans was split into 2 phases as well. My husband (also trans) asked if I would be comfortable if he tried dressing as a guy. I half jokingly said. "only if you let me dress like a girl too." So we did. I had never felt more happy and beautiful in that moment, and thought it was because I was gender fluid. The time I realized I was actually a transfem was while I was laying down in bed relaxing and I got an unprovoked erection. It made me so angry and made me feel so gross... So I thought about why, and realized... "Oh shit. I'm actually just trans."
aw, that's cute
Oh, I'm sorry :( That sucks @ random boners. I'm glad it doesn't bother my transfem partner. She doesn't rly have dysphoria only euphoria? Can't relate at ALL, i pretty much only have dysphoria :-/
There was a theory out there that Riley from Inside Out was bigender or some other kind of enby because she had both male and female emotions, while the other characters' emotions were consistent in their gender.
OMG, you're right! I noticed that but never realized the meaning!
@@ClaraDarkoit wasn’t the creator’s intention but still it’s a nice headcanon
while that is probably just because they are main characters and the others just exist for a few small jokes, i do have that headcanon as well (until disproven at least, but i hope they make it a future story though they probably wont)
And a lot of their clothes are rainbow, and they have a gender neutral name.
Right? Like. They could have made other people's emotions mixed gender too but they didn't
I really said out loud “ooh. I wanna watch that” 🤣
I'm non-binary and androgynous, and I've finally started dressing the way I feel comfortable, and it's amazing! My sister mentioned several times at our last family gathering how much more comfortable and confident I look now that I'm not trying to be a clone of my cousins! 😊
I always said that Riley is probably gender fluid.
Also, not my "oh, I'm trans" moment, but a moment that is quite trans in retrospect. When I was in kindergarten, I remember quite clearly that I wanted to be a boy when I grow up. (I also wanted to be a monkey, but that's besides the point).
More than that, our kindergarten kinda developed a small gendered society within itself, in the sense that the boys played soccer, and the girls drew flowers. And there was toddler me, a girl with a specific muscle issue that meant I couldn't draw. It's better nowadays, once again this is besides the point. So, I can't draw, that must mean I'm a boy, right?
And then there was this boy who really liked girl stuff like pink, and Hello Kitty, and a bunch of other stuff.
I distinctly remember offering to switch genders with him (I probably didn't phrase it like that, I didn't even know the word gender existed), and I also remember his answer. That he can't, because then he wouldn't be able to marry this specific girl he had a crush on.
I didn't understand what marrying her had to do with anything.
I am now a trans dude. I like girls (maybe also guys, I'm not sure).
Also, that kids twin brother mocked my voice a lot in primary school, and I now have voice disphoria.
So, I guess I should thank these twins, they were my trans awakening? Or something, I don't know.
As a nonbinary person i was like, this is me.
Man in kindergarten I thought I was half boy and half girl cuz I didnt fit into these gendered boxes and kid me was right XD
Hey this actually reminds me of a decently common theory that riley is some flavour of non binary because, unlike every other person whose emotions we see, riley has a pretty even mix of "female" and "male" emotions in her head.
That would explain why Riley's the only one whose emotions don't look like the person they control.
You're right. Riley's dad and mom have masc and fem emotions respectively.
I’m a baby trans! Figured out it’s not normal to wanna be a guy constantly and hate yourself for not being a guy-

I realized I liked girly things when I was about 5 years old. I remember when my mom caught be playing with my elder sister's old Barbie dolls (which she was not playing with anymore anyway) I remember saying, "I want to be a girl." My mom brushed it off and I didn't think about again until later in high school, even then I didn't know what to do about it.
I would say I fully realized I was trans after feeling more comfortable in expressing myself femininly. Wearing makeup and stuff like that. I even "joked" and said "Maybe I should go all out." Meaning medically transitioning. This was around college. Of course I eventually came out as trans to my parents, began medically transitioning, met some resistance from my parents, but things worked out in the end.
I did the same exact thing 💀
"are you a boy or a girl?"
Yes.
I prefer:
No
i don’t even remember when i noticed i’m trans- it just slowly happened over time- i never had an “oh shit!” moment 😭
This! It was exactly like this for me too! And like i've been out for two years now so i don't even think about it anymore. Whenever someone asks me how i knew i was trans i don't rlly know what to say
@@Arlley338 exactly!!
This is exactly how it was for me! You have no idea how affirming this comment was so thank you!
Watching Jammidodger videos made me go "oh wait I might be trans" and then I read a book on gender identity and talked to some trans men online
The first time I knew there was a word for trans was when I met my friend who was gay and in the LGBTQ community. He told me I was "a man trapped in a woman's body" and I started looking things up. I knew something was different about me when I was really young (around 5 years old approx) But hearing there was a word for me and there was a way to get the body I wanted was in my early 30's. It's been rough, but well worth the journey ever since!
I felt the clothes thing too. Before I came out I hated trying on clothes and wearing anything beyond sweatpants, now that im out I have gone clothes shopping with my grandma more than I am willing to admit and I have basically only worn a suit to public events.
When little kids im helping with outside at school ask me if im a boy or a girl i just say ´what do you think’ and let them call me whatever the hell they want. There was one kid that said she thought i wasnt anything and then ran around the playground calling me ´himher’ 😂😂
My "oh wait I'm trans" moment was when I was seven. I got a haircut and on the way home I was told these exact words by my grandpa "(deadname), you're not a boy, you're a sweet, loving girl" the amount of dysphoria and discomfort I felt was enough to cause my realization
My egg crack, was when I first met a non-binary/gender queer person in grade 9. After that I started doing research and exploring with my identity. I never felt like a girl, and honestly was never interested in feminine things. Once puberty hit I got along more with my brothers then my sister. For my whole childhood I was sort of just there in society not identifying as anything.
In February I started testing out other identities online. By the time March came around lockdown started and I finally got a second to sit and think about it without societies influence and came out as non-binary shortly after (i don’t remember when because covid brain) then at 16 I changed it to trans masc because I felt like thats more where I lied on the scale. Hasn’t changed since.
"If"??? Screw it we should make an actual trans inside out
No, If is an entirely different movie about animated characters who exist in someone's mind.
I was hoping that inside out 2 would be that. These comments are really making it seem like it’s not that… I haven’t even seen it yet
I mean, it would make sense, since Riley's emotions are both boys and girls, while everyone else in the movie had all emotions as the gender they are.
@@pemanilnoob It’s not. It’s definitely about the beginning of puberty and all the interior drama that comes with it, but there isn’t an indication that Riley is trans… however, it feels like she *might* be attracted to girls, so STAND BY.
Animators unite, all in favor say aye
My “oh wait, I’m trans” moment was in middle school, I was running in gym class alone because my friend I shared the class with was sick so I was just thinking on how gender is a social construct and how I kinda didn’t wanna participate in a traditional way and then I was like “oh sh!t I’m non-binary”, looking back there were moments where my agab nonconformity were obvious
Me at 18: The most cis thing ever is looking at a random screenshot of Jamie for like ten minutes, because it was proof that I could get a beard too.
oh yeah watching ten thousand videos about trans guys and their journeys on yt was a very cis thing for me to do 😂 "oh it's just interesting" why are you only interested in trans MEN then??? i was so oblivious for years fr
My "oh wait im trans" moment was descovered because i was watching south park and wanted to like boys the way boys like boys, (was watching an episode with tweek and craig) and the next day i cut my hair short for no reason and thought "maybe this means something" lmao
Back in 1971 I (AFAB) told my parents that I was a boy. Period. Under no circumstances were they to buy me anything created for girls. Thinking that I would soon grow out of it they went along with my wishes. Unfortunately the word Transgender wasn't in common use at the time. I didn't grow out of it. I waited 49 years to get my first testosterone dose at age 56. Now I'm 60 but still in puberty so I'm also (mostly) 15 yrs. old and it feels great.
I like to refur my husbands preman life as 'the great before'
It adds a little exta mystery, especially as we never explain what we mean to cis people
Had the same dress story happen to me when I was 7 or 8 but I only wore the dress because it was for my Mothers wedding. No one understood and assumed I was a tomboy, even I did.
Though I'm happy my mother was very accepting when I came out too her. It was scary because she had told me while she was pregnant with me she really wanted a girl (I'm afab) but now we joke that because she wished hard that I would be a girl but meant to be a boy I was born trans XD

6:58 I remember the prompt on Twitter for new emotions in ‘Inside Out’ and someone suggested ‘Compulsory Heterosexuality’.
compulsory heterosexuality would probably just be a button on the console. Shame/Embarrassment and anxiety would be in control to try to fit into society.

I didn't realise I was trans until I was 16, and I didn't change my name legally until I was 18. But the point I realised I was trans was when I met someone who became a close friend of mine with a pride flag pin on their bag that I didn't recognise (it was the demigirl flag) and when they explained it to me, and I did my own research into it, it felt right (my identity then bounced around a bit and I went through 6 different shifts in pronouns before I settled on the right ones). It was also the feeling of euphoria after I told my friends I wanted to go by a different name and they started using it immediately without question.
For an alternative as to when the “B”keeping job stops working, perhaps you could go on to the next letter and work with the Q? I imagine many places have crowds running all about, going completely unorganized, and they could profit on some lovely queues
inside out is such a beautiful movie, also thanks for helping me crack the egg!
He helped me crack the egg too, same with a lot of people I think. Really proves how important people like him are in trans people's lives
With the “figuring out we were trans” moment: It wasn’t figuring out I was trans, but agender. I feel like I kinda always knew (kinda like how I kinda always knew I was a lesbian) but I denied that there was something different about me, and the way I express myself. I feel like it’s kinda hard to explain, but the label of “boy” or “girl” never really fit me (especially the girl part). Still kinda figuring it out, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got it now lol
(Also, I really felt the “not wanting to wear a dress for something formal”. Me to a T lol)

My "Oh wait, I'm trans" moment happened back in the summer of 2023. At the time, I thought I was aromantic (I'm not, but at the time I thought I was) and wanted to explore other identities in the lgbtq+ community on the internet. I learned about the trans community and was basically like "These posts are relatable. Too relatable... WAIT A MINUTE!" And then about half a year of questioning later, here I am, a trans man that is STILL not out to anybody except their mom and best friend. 😐
My "Oh wait I'm trans" moment was when I had just finished eating and was going back to class. I just paused and asked myself "Wait, do I even feel like a girl ?" The answer was no.
19:20 I knew right away, from the moment I could cogitate that I was trans, simply because my bottom dysphoria was unreasonably high. At 4, I remember asking why a sibling got to have a certain set, while I was stuck with mine. 'Cause a' that, I can't relate with "Am I trans enough memes," although I'm glad they exist for those who do.
i thought the new trans emotion would be dysphoria and that envy would just agree with everything dysphoria says lol

When I was 12, I wanted to dress up as a male character for Halloween and my mom kept asking me why, and she kept pressing so hard about that that I had a moment of realization where i thought to myself 'do most girls only want to dress up as girl characters?' And then immediately followed that up with 'that is future me's problem' and promply forgot until that memory was triggered about 9 years later when I saw an info graphic about various nonbinary and genderqueer identities online
Riley in Inside Out seems to be non-binary to me. Her mom has female only emotions, her dad has male only emotions, the boy that liked her at the end of 1 had all male emotions, her friends had all female emotions, but Riley has male and female emotions
It's a nice headcanon. I think it's more than likely that Riley has feminine and masculine presenting emotions so there is variety of interactions and appeals to a broader audience. If it were all feminine voiced emotion they probably figured they would lose the attention of the male audience? Just a thought on my end. I like gender equivalency when watching my media anyway.
I think Riley being nb would have more validity if we saw at least one other character with masculine and feminine presenting emotions but I don't recall there being one.

My realisation came in R.E. in year 7 when we were shown a documentary of a trans guy and asked to discuss whether one could change who they were... a friend put the pieces together and after the lesson asked me if I was trans and then said cause if you were a boy, I wouldn't be friends with you.

Cis people are cool too
My "Oh wow I'm trans" moment came from seeing a meme that was formated where someone was asked how often they think about being the opposite gender and them replying oh just the normal amount followed but the normal amount is zero, at that point I was already questioning but that was the final blow
(I'm an Enby 24yr old) Besides internally knowing my body wasn't right as soon as I started puberty, when I was called "young man" by a cashier in 7th grade & when I bought my very first binder & buzzed my head at 19, those are the two most memorable moments when I really felt like or could finally see myself.
My "oh wait, I'm trans" moment was when I had first met my current friend group, 4 of them being trans, and a lot of their stories about being trans, and their experiences and journeys to realizing that were similar to a lot of things I felt, so I asked them to start using he/him and masc terms just to see how it made me feel, and yeah it made me way happier lol. It also explained why I was always so uncomfortable in my body, I always thought it was because I didn't like the normal things to not like about your body as a teenage girl, it turned out to be gender dysphoria. Further proven when I wore a binder for the first time and my chest was almost completely flat, and I loved it lol.
Oh god the "are you male or female" I remember having that one with a not so supportive boss while he was trying to force everyone to add pronouns to there emails.

Very suddenly all of the inclusion messaging around the office was halted abruptly. I left a few months after that, and have found myself a supportive office to be me in.
My trans realization was a slow burn that took weeks to come to terms with and put into words rather than a singular moment, so instead I'll share one of those wonderful memories that turned trans.
This is probably the most "how the hell did I not realize" memory, but around 4th grade I was staying the night at my best friend's house. I had some trans thoughts bumping around my head but didn't even know trans people existed yet so I didn't have the words for it. I ended up asking my friend "Do you ever feel like you were born a girl but your parents switched you?" He gave me a weird look and said no. _I then proceeded to ask it two more times the following nights!!!_ It got to the point where he stopped me and goes, "Is... is there something you need to tell me?"
It wasn't until around 15 years later that I realized, "OH! Yes, I do have something to tell him." 😅
My moment was when I already asked my mum to use they/them for me because I wasn't sure yet and wanted to test it out. I think I was just standing in the kitchen one night and was like wow I'm really not a girl.
my "oh wait i'm trans" moment was i think when, in 4th grade, i acted as a boy in a roleplay with my friend
19:15 i had always been jealous of the boys in my class, i haven’t even considered being trans before. i saw some trans meme that was similar to my experience and i was like “wait…maybe i am trans…” i looked into it more, asked my trans friends some stuff and a while later figured out that i was trans :D
"Are you a boy or a girl?" Me: "Does it really matter? Are you going to treat me any differently?" I'm not trans, but I am bald, so I do get this question a lot.
I am trans masc, and it is *hell* because I measure to 36 E or 34 EE. My ribcage Was Not Made For This, My Spine Was Not Made For This, I have been reffered for reductions but the surgeon ghosted me.
Next time I go in imma say double mastectomy. I'm done fucking around and pretending I want these things even a little bit. They're huge they hurt and they're always in the way.
Particularly when you love climbing
my "Oh... I'm trans" was when I was 11 in a scouts camp and as a joke I put my hair into mu cap and said "Look! My name is Matias!" and all my guy friends stated to treat me as a guy and call me by he/him as a part of the joke.
It felt WAY TOO GOOD to be just a joke for me
I personally have no problem saying when I was a girl, but that's just me
same! I also say 'before I was trans' too
As a masc lesbian cis female, the clothes and the hair is everything. When I got to choose what I could wear and my hairstyle, I was finally becoming myself. Having long hair and being put in dresses was a nightmare.
There would be no doubt in my mind that there would definitely be a gender dysphoria emotion (for me), maybe envy's child, gender envy?
Whoops I made this comment before 7:01. There also could be gender anxiety, like not thinking you're trans enough.
This is your regular reminder that you're all awesome, beautiful and valid little spuds, just the way you are ❤🧡💛💚💙💜Love you all ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
My, “Oh wait…” moment was getting more involved online with LGBT spaces because I am bisexual and realizing that sometimes I fit the textbook definition for gender dysphoria (I am Bi-gender). This put into context my constant instance growing up that I wasn’t a Tom Boy or a Girly Girl, but a Tom
Girl.
I was watching One Topic and the is just appeared on my fyp and I realized it was him so I’m like “heck yea!” And then I subbed ❤
