Growing up my parents didn't let me sleep with a pillow/ stuffed animals because those are "for women". Now that I'm in college I can say I really like having a pillow.
i don’t get the stuffed animal one in an “i agree with that” way, but i kinda get it because i’ve heard that before. it doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s fairly common. but *pillows?* what
I've actually had a candle with a similar scent, and it's honestly a lovely scent. Like, it's usually not just generic "smoke" smell, like just "thing on fire." It's often a woodsmoke sort of scent, or in some cases a pipe smoke scent (though those are more often labeled as "tobacco" scent). The latter is usually a very rich, slightly spicy smell, and pairs really well with the vanilla, often producing a lovely sweet kind of scent. Meanwhile, the more woodsmoke types tend to create a more outdoorsy kind of scent, more crisp and sharp, with the vanilla kind of rounding off the proverbial edges. (I'm a nut for perfumes, incense, candles, all that kind of stuff, so learning about scents and how they interact is kinda my jam.)
Haha, it's just secretly vanilla....they added smoke just because it's a candle That would be a funny plot twist just so it seemed more "masculine" for pointlessly gendered
"Apparently non-binary people have no personality traits" That's because our personalities are just an amalgamation of trauma responses and neurodivergent traits ✨✨✨
I looked at the thumbnail, saw the "boys sleepover" image, and immediately thought, "Ah, yes. Exploring another man's guts. Having your fingers inside of another man." I am devolving.
i could swear the image in that meme is jesus guiding a surgeon's hands (as a clapback to people who suggest thanking the DOCTOR who actually saved you rather than GOD who doesn't even exist). why someone put that on a meme about boys' sleepovers i have no idea.
Transphobes: You aren't a real woman! Transwoman: But I can't lift 250kg Transphobes: Disappear up their own bottoms in a space time discontinuity paradox.
@@ceciliaeth6550 Either way, that is an amount of weight you can only lift after several years of training. Source- Me, a man who almost craps out his spine whenever he deadlifts 80kg (180lbs)
Is it just me, or are th people that make the "real men" posts are usually the same ones that end up on bad women's anatomy? Congrats on the marriage, Jamie.
If real women marry cops and real men marry nurses (which by the way means you can have some lesbian buddy cops and some gay male nurses) does this mean as a nonbinary person I am free to marry astronauts, movie directors, Olympic athletes, etc? Because honestly I'll accept that.
As a kid I was super curious about gendered surprise bags at my local dollar tree so I got a bunch of both genders. They were essentially the same, just an assortment of toys, stickers, I think there was some candy. Only difference was that the boy ones never had pink toys or dolls and the girl ones did on occasion.
Ha yes, thanks to the age old scientifically proven point that letting a boy have anything pink or a doll will instantly turn them gay I guess... Should we remind them that the human body has a lot of pink bits?
I’m working part time at a department store and myself and my fellow coworker (she is trans, I’m enby) put the Jurassic Park toy display in the “girl’s” section in protest. We delight in seeing all the little girls coming in and getting excited to pick out dinosaurs Update: We’ve moved a bunch of the pink roller skates/sports equipment to the “boys” section and mixed it in. Colours for all!
Child me would have shrieked in delight. With the exception of barbies and horses, I usually had more "boy" toys. Dinosaurs, hot wheels, action figures, lego etc.
Also put some pink toys in the boys section every now and then. Had 5 year old me come across some pink stuff in the toy section made for me I would've lost it, and I can't be anywhere near the only one.
@@wintergray1221 I always wanted "boy's" toys, but didn't think I was allowed them (in hindsight, my parents probably would have bought them for me if I'd asked). So I used to play with my brother's toys a lot - things like knex, games consoles, etc.
the reason a lot of the gendered products on amazon don't say "for men" or "for women" on the actual box is because amazon sometimes makes those crazy labels instead of the brand also congrats on the marriage jamie!
Yes it’s for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) purposes, including Amazon’s own product search bar. Having more words is like casting the net out wider with SEO, though it leads to really dumb listing titles.
@@NovaSaber I'll do you one better: 'trans binder women lesbians trans man lgbt' is a string of words I saw while looking for a binder on Amazon. The order may be a bit off here & there, tho
@@BooksandBuns hahaha maybe they think someone might be looking for a ring binder? hope they don't mean women lesbians and trans men are the same cause yikes!
Cis guy here. I currently have: 1 stiff foam base pillow, 1 V shaped neck/face support top pillow, 1 leg pillow, 1 arm pillow, and 1 long back pillow. Yes, I am a pillow nester. ------ On a more serious note, life has been kicking my butt lately. But I when I see you pop up, It makes me just break ut in a big ol' smile. Keep being you, Jamie.
LOL this is so funny, my brother (also a cis guy) recently sent me a pic of one of those long pillows that are typically used by pregnant women and he said, can a man buy this?! :P I am just glad to see your message and know that not all cis men are restraining themselves when choosing pillows haha
@@lawrence208 Cisgender male. Assigned male at birth and still identify as male. It's not necessary in this case, as they were talking men and women without distinguishing any difference between cis and trans.
@@lawrence208 No, cisgender=you agree with the sex that was given on your birth certificate is also the gender you are. In a world as diverse as ours, "normal" doesn't exist.
Wanted to share a wholesome item I saw in a shop to counteract some of this pointless stereotyping. It was a kids “Laundry Day” toy kit and it had a boy on the front of it looking happy to be play ironing something! PROGRESS!!!
10:43 as a trans dad, I see so much stuff like that and it bothers me so much. Not only do people like me exist, but there's plenty of cis dads who actually parent their kids. I really hate the narrative that men don't really parent their kids, and how it implies that men aren't supposed to be nurturing.. also, I get misgendered waaaay more when I have my kids with me 🙃
Pointlessly gendered items is what got me in trouble as a kid. I always loved the things or items that were labeled for women. As an adult still prefer things that are labeled for women only but now I can buy and wear what I like as long as no one finds out.😊
Meanwhile, my preference for spicy scents instead of floral ones caused me great consternation at the start of my transition… I forced myself to use floral deodorants for years before finally telling myself “I can buy Old Spice as a woman, it’s a lesbian tradition” >.>
@@kaitlyn__L Now I'm going to use old spice deodorant, because I'm still too scared to come out, but I still want to hint at it. I've already started wearing a black ring on my middle finger to hint to my parents that I'm asexual. 👍👁👄👁👍
@@clyde_is_trash good luck to you! I’m long past coming-out to anybody, let alone my parents, but I still vividly recall how nerve-wracking it was back then!
For anyone who wanted to know (4:40), "Happy Her" - David's Tea: Tea store; Indigo: book store; Kernels: exotic popcorn shop; Milestones: restaurant (grill and bar type place); Sportchek: sporting goods store (similar to like Dick's); Roots: outdoor wear (like hiking wear and winter jackets); Hudson Bay: standard department store (like Sear's - clothes, bedding, kitchen appliances, etc); Saks Off 5th: discount designer wear (like Nordstorm Rack). "Happy Him" - Indigo & Hudson's Bay as stated before; H&M you know; Golf Town: as it sounds, golf store; HH: Home Hardware, hardware store; Cabela's: outdoor recreation equipment (fishing, camping, boating, etc).
Commenting for the top-comment algorithm! The only one of these I knew was Cabelas - I do know Saks but I missed him saying it in the video lol. Cabelas also notably is the *type* of outdoor recreation store that tends to use a lot of taxidermy as decor... at least here in the US it does.
@@qlexismqldonqdo I know Cabela's is in the US because there's one in my town; Saks started as a New York thing, and I'd imagine just from the name that Hudson Bay is from that general area as well. The rest idk
It’s definitely Canadian. I believe Cabela’s is American but have Canadian stores, hence the maple leaf next to the logo (we do that on a lot of large foreign companies, for example McDonald’s up here uses a maple leaf in the middle of the M).
For my character in a play I wrote with my friends, my character comes from a kingdom with a cannonical nonbinary ruler (whether my possibly homophobic transphobic friends with strict christian parents know it or not). I refer to them as the Royal Alex or Ruler Alex of Wellaland. (Also their character design the one time I drew them was literally the enby flag. Black and white pants, with a yellow and purple top.)
Re: the dresser Traditionally men's dressers were tall and narrow and women's dressers were short and long. I think that is why they were saying that dresser was a "man's" dresser (it was tall). They were often sold as a set (1 for him and 1 for her) and I remember seeing my grand relatives have such sets when I was a kid. The women's dressers typically had a mirror attached to them, for use as a vanity, which is why they were lower and more table-like. Nowadays you just buy whatever fits your space best. For example a long, low dresser is good if you want it to double as a TV stand and a tall, narrow dresser is more space-saving.
yeah, my mother still has the remnants of the set her and my father (F in the chat) had; the “women’s” is HUGE, three drawers wide and tall, with a giant floral etched mirror and shelves framing it, and the “men’s”… is one wide, five tall, only reason you can tell they match is they have the same knobs.
The men's and women's rings are probably sized differently, though. I'm wondering if that's also the difference between the "vampire" teeth and the "vampiress" teeth.
@Larissa Pienaar I agree. Most "women's" hats are "once size fits most", and as an AMAB with a large head, I'm not "most". It's so frustrating that the cutest hats never fit me. (And that's true with most other clothing, too. "Plus sized" women's clothing is very rarely as cute as the non-plus-sized version. And the cutest women's shoes don't come in size 12WW.)
HAHAHA! When I was a tiny kid I thought men didn't have lips or eyelashes, because only the "girl" cartoon characters had these features. It's so warped! Also, I'm nonbinary & I use one big standard pillow & a travel pillow. Maybe travel pillows are nonbinary? 🤣
Same (about the thinking men didn't gave eyelashes of lips)! I'm also nonbinary and I use one standard pillow and one pillow that is shaped like a stuffed dog
I work in a card shop and some of the cards are gendered (not all of them of course, but some) and sometimes make sense cause it’ll say something like “you’re a cool guy” or “happy birthday mom” but sometimes they’ll be a card that’s categorized as “birthday for him” and it’ll just be like a glass of whiskey and inside it just says “happy birthday” and it’s like… women can like whiskey, this doesn’t seem male specific. Although we do also have wedding cards and new parent cards for same sex couples, which I think is pretty neat. We also have a furry card but I’m pretty sure that was inadvertent.
I work as a bar tender,and I can assure you that 99.9% of clients consuming whiskey are man. It's a fact! And for an opposite example,I have maybe mixed 2 Manhatten cocktails for man I'm over 20 years! So I'm sorry,but gender preferences are a real thing! Just like 99.9% of cigar smoker are man!
@@stockofwood8152 it said “happy birthday wishes dad, you make my tail wag, I’m so lucky to be your dog.” Then on the inside it said “I love you with all my furry heart.” Whether it was meant to be given from someone like from the perspective of their actual dog or it was just thinly veiled pet play the world may never know.
I can confirm that the cards at 4:35 are very glaringly Canadian (as a Canadian). Indigo is a book store chain, Roots makes clothes (usually of a simple-looking, cozy sort that you'd wear at a cottage or something. It's weird to describe but it makes sense if you check them out), and Hudson's Bay is like a brand that has department stores. Fun fact, it's one of the oldest brands in North America as it has it's roots in the Hudson's Bay Company that used to be a major fur trader. Sportchek is a sport store, just like it sounds, so I'm surprised that it wasn't also on the "for him" card. Also no idea why the makers thought that women would like tea and popcorn but not men, but I guess you have to just...draw the line somewhere.
I'm nonbinary and I have five pillows on my bed right now. I've always had more than three pillows on my bed because my neck needs support, and added two more to reduce the stress on my shoulder and upper arm. I also have five smaller pillows in reserve, and a bunch of backrest pillows in the closet in case I need them. One can never have too many pillows.
I'm a girl and I like to have one pillow only - a nice, thick, firm one that can support my neck and doesn't collapse and leave me with headaches in the morning. Occasionally I'll use a second one to prop me up if I want to read in bed but usually It just lives somewhere else in the room. Meanwhile my parents, who are a hetero couple, have about 10 pillows each on their respective sides. This is to aid in reading, and watching UA-cam videos such as this 👌😌 (Congrats on reaching one million subscribers btw Jamie! :D)
I did have a very thick one when laying on my back but a second when laying on my side. But the thick one is tired so now there’s an extra regular one to prop it up. There’s also the body pillows and some smaller ones that I prop up my iPad on. I think the meme is about those few girls in my school who had every inch of their bed covered in throw pillows. Which every boy in my school refused to do even when they had a collection - they expressed regret that it was “girly” to show more than a couple at any one time.
Jesus is in that picture. I've never imagined him being invited on a (modern) guys' night out, but, hey, I suppose he is everywhere and the Bible says he liked to party.
I like the ragecomic version of girls sleepovers vs boys sleepovers where the girls summon demons for fun n the boys had to fight them going "who keeps summoning these demons?" Also the "real men marry nurses, real women marry cops" is a stereotype, at least here in Indonesia cuz "uniformed men" (cops, PNS workers) usually go for nurses
Lol i went to a sleepover with three other girls and we were talking about summoning demons 💀💀 we all watched as the host (of the sleepover) was in the bathroom with the door closed chanting something trying to summon ghosts😭😭😭
The biggest factor in me going from a 2 pillow person to multi pillow was developing fibromyalgia. The biggest reason for my organized desktop is a sensitivity to visual stimuli.
I relate in the exact opposite way; when my fibromyalgia really kicked into high gear (always had it, but it decided it didn’t hurt enough and wanted me to be disabled instead a few years ago) I couldn’t stand having so many pillows anymore so now I only have two (one for my head and one for my right arm)
8:30 This is possibly a reference to the "First Person To Fall Asleep At The Sleepover" meme, about the idea that the first person to fall asleep at a sleepover gets pranked. There were quite a few UA-cam videos earlier this year, that put such a caption on fast-forwarded 3-D diagrammatic animation of major surgical procedures, as if they were extreme pranks.
My computer likes to start pretending like its organized with folder names and whatnot, but then every single folder is filled with things that aren't meant to be in there anyways and inevitably I will end up creating another "I'm too lazy to organize" folder that is meant to be used to prevent that problem, but will inevitably end up going mostly ignored.
My FTM husband told me that the first thing you need to do at the gender clinic is to give out all your cushions and extra pillows in exchange for power tools. Plus if you give out scented candles they exchange them for Lynx 5 in 1 soaps.
You should do one of these (maybe with OT) as a guessing game. Like, just show the picture of the dresser, guess what gender it's labeled for, then reveal the rest of the post. Or show a pic of two avocado halves, guess which one is male and which is female, then show the post gendering them
The gift cards are Canadian. Indigo is Weatherstones -used to be books, now is pretty much everything with books being a side hustle, Milestones is food, Sport Check is sporting goods, David's Tea speaks for itself, Hudson's Bay is dept. store, Cabela's is outdoors, Kernels is gourmet popcorn (sort of the David's Tea of the popcorn world).
As a demigirl, my pillow preference is (shock horror disaster!) 2 pillows: 1 to support my head and neck and 1 to wrap my arm around to keep my shoulder from hurting in the morning. I like to think that pointlessly gendered products were like a non-binary awakening for me because most of the time I just wanted both things as a kid!
Haha, fellow demigirl, totally can confirm wanting both things as a kid too! I hated shopping at toys R us (toy store) when everything was labeled for boys and girls and the girls section was all dolls, beauty kits, playing house and pink things and the boys section was cars/trucks/trains, skateboards, nerf guns, and blue things. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t find blue toys for playing house or why everything had to be separated by gender to begin with, haha, I guess the signs were always there early on.
@@starfishgurl1984 Wow, Toys R Us. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time! I miss those days of watching their festive ads before school; life was simpler back then
I was oddly delighted by Jamie's confusion over all those Canadian brands. I forgot most of those were exclusively in Canada and would in fact confuse people outside of the country. 😂
5:06 yeah they are Canadian also the “whatever that is” is a hardware store 😭 as a trans man I went through the crying after Christmas because someone bought me the “for her card” and a dress when I was 7 lmao
I love how at 9:22 Jamie doesn't even mention that the last one has a picture of a gorilla so my only thought was Ah yes the 3 genders: man, woman, and gorilla
Canadian here! Indigo - book store Hudson's Bay - department store (similar to Harrod's but less touristy) Home Hardware (the double H's) - hardware store David's Tea - a tea brand that is either entirely shut down or mostly shut down Sport Chek - sporting goods store Milestones - Restaurant Sak's Off Fifth - similar to Nordstrom Rack, basically the cheap version of Sak's 5th Avenue Roots - clothing store Kernels - popcorn brand Golf Town - self explanatory Cabelas - hunting and fishing store
I think in the boys' sleepover, that's supposed to be Jesus with his hand on the surgeon's back, and helping 😂 No idea what that has to do with a sleepover of any gender, though
4:44 I’ll try to explain :) Indigo is a bookstore, Hudson’s Bay and Roots are clothing, Kernels is popcorn, and idk the rest 5:07 is home hardware, it’s a home improvement store
@@freddogrosso9835 Not just hunting but just general outdoorsy stuff in general. Think kayaks, tents and other camping/wilderness survival supplies, fishing gear, maybe some mountain biking equipment, you get the idea. Gander Mountain is basically in the same market niche and we used to go there for supplies all the time when I was still in Boy Scouts.
I love that you didn't recognize white mullet Jesus. I kind of wish I could live to see the day where people dig up pictures like that and they're just like, "Why is there some middle-aged man in a bathrobe there? It's a serious surgery, that's unsanitary! Is that.. is that the joke, maybe?"
FYI: Cabela's makes fishing tackle boxes and other outdoors recreational supplies. Their boxes and cases are also purchased by anyone who has a lot of small items to organize. I have a lot of organizers from one of their competitors, Plano, which I assume has a fairly similar product line. Plano merch is just is more available in my area than Cabela's. Interestingly, Plano has a spin-off brand aimed at women called Caboodles. Apparently, some company exec got really hot and bothered by the thought of women buying their manly merchandise to store jewelry findings or make-up. I find the main line far more useful for my purposes than Caboodles, because they have more adjustable dividers for customization. Talk about pointless gendering!
“I’m getting irate” made me lose it. Firstly, that was probably one of the most British things I’ve seen in a while. Secondly, if that is you getting irate then you are even more wholesome of a being than I formerly thought. 😂 (and I already thought you were the most wholesome person on YT. Just to be clear)
Canadian here to save the day lol Happy her… David’s tea - tea shop and tea accessories Milestones - restaurant Indigo - bookstore Sportcheck - sport clothing (think yoga pants and ski jackets lol) Saks off 5th - shoes Roots - outdoor and comfy wear (mittens, sweatpants, hats - very popular in Canada) Kernels - popcorn shop Hudson’s Bay - a department store (like a really fancy multilevel target) Happy him… Indigo - books and trinkets Hudson’s bay - department store H&M - clothes Golf town - golf stuff Cabellas - hunting and outdoor store
The dumbest things are gendered. Like eyelashes. I'm a trans man and I've had people say they thought I was a woman was because I have really long eyelashes. Which I got from my father.
My cousin (m) has the most long and luscious eyelashes I've ever seen on a person. He's got dark copper colour hair so they're the same colour - they look like they sparkle. So pretty.
Canadian here 😊 Hudson’s Bay is a department store, Indigo is like Waterstones, DavidsTea is a specialty tea shop, Sport Chek is like a sports department store, Cabela’s is like an outdoor shop (fishing/camping/etc.), Milestones is an mid-tier restaurant, Roots is a unisex clothing store, Saks off 5th is also a clothing store that’s like the cheaper version of Saks Fifth Avenue, the “whatever that is” is a shop called Home Hardware (self-explanatory), and you nailed it with Kernels. So the ladies like clothes and the men like outside stuff and hardware. 😂
My parents tried to raise me and my brother gender neutral. They failed, I was the most girly girl, pink princess ballet everything and my brother just liked football, cars and monsters. We both grew out of it though. And we both grew up knowing that personal preference CAN be stereotypical, but it doesn't NEED to be. It was and is our own choice to make. And for the 'not stereotypically girly' things I liked as a kid, I never understood why other kids found it weird.
I bought the tiny camera for my niece (yes, a girl!) on her birthday. Can confirm it is smol, it takes kind of decent photos, and her brother CAN use it… when she lets him 😅
4:25 Friendly neighbourhood Canadian here to let you know what's on the Happy Her/Happy Him cards, if you wanna know: DavidsTea: loose leaf and bagged tea, a lot of funky flavours Milestones: casual restaurant Indigo: used to just be a bookstore, now they have a huge lifestyle section SportChek: activewear/sport goods store Saks Off 5th: department store, but I'm pretty sure they mostly just sell clothes Roots: clothing store Kernels: popcorn! they literally just sell popcorn, there are locations in various foodcourts and malls Hudson's Bay: department store Golf Town: indeed, a golf goods store HH = Home Hardware: home improvement store Cabela's: hunting/fishing retailer? (had to google this one...) Maybe I'm biased but the Happy "Her" card seems like an objectively better value. They should just put all these locations on one card and call it "Happy Shopper." Wow, making things gender neutral is sOoOoO hard! /s
The funny thing is, both cards can be spent in all the same places, they just put different pictures on the cards. Just to make people buy the "correct" gender ones lol
I definitely prefer when they set up a [false] dichotomy like this and just say "tag yourself" instead of assigning people to one or the other. I have exactly two pillows (one for my head, one for my knees). I have organized folders (yet I find the unlabeled folders hilarious and relatable). I relax when I'm home alone. I love tree houses. I don't have a talented cat. So many of these have two things that are equally far away from my personality and interests, so I'd be trying to tag myself in the margin or some random thing in the background.
5:06 As a Canadian, I find it such a strange concept to not recognize the Home Hardware logo. XD But honestly, they are relatively stereotypical gendered stores. Indigo and Hudson's Bay (being the only same ones) are a book store and a department store respectively.
I saw so much extra needless gendering when I visited the USA and Canada. Like plenty is gendered in the UK but not to that degree. The men’s and women’s shampoos and stuff had entirely different aisles, and even used different euphemisms! I think it was “women’s sanitation” and “men’s grooming”, but it was a decade ago so I probably got that wrong. Here, yes those products are all gendered, but the layout of the store isn’t. There’s a shampoo section and the women’s and men’s ones are right next to each other (usually white and black). Then, the same with the razors. But the American and Canadian stores had all the shampoo and shower gel and razor blades and everything grouped together by gender, so the customers needn’t even see the other ones.
The gendered gift cards are from Canada, specifically 😄 Indigo is like Barnes & Nobles (used to be called Chapters) and Hudson's Bay is known as a Canadian 'luxury goods retail store'. The two red and white 'h's are for a store called Home Hardware.
These cards always crack me up. Aside from the assortments making little sense, they basically took the worst attributes of gift cards and pre-paid credit cards (both usually available on the same display rack) and combined them together in a single inferior product. The Happy Kid card (different from the Happy Teen card) has East Side Mario's on it. What kids are going to East Side Mario's without their family? Or is paying your own bill just what the kids are into these days?
My pillow preference is that there's no such thing as too many pillows. Give me another pillow and I'll figure out how to add it to my current pillow cocoon.
4:40 I’m from Canada and have all of these nearby, might be Canadian, especially with Hudson’s Bay (only genocidal department store) since it’s a store that goes back to Canada’s beginnings (hence the prior comment since they were part of colonization). I think I might’ve seen these, don’t really remember.
1:33 I used to have none pillow actually xD Ive nvr liked sleepin with pillows as theyre usually way too uncomfy for me for sensory reasons. However, i currently have one pillow, but i mostly use it to give more support when i need a backrest as its a memory foam one that sorta molds into my back nicely. However, my bed is taken up 50% by stuffys xD And i have several squishmallows, which ill often use one of while sleepin bcuz the stuffy material is a sensory comfort not discomfort and it raises my head just slightly off the bed.
Real men respect others. I'm a Cis man and I love watching Jamie because I find him entertaining and because I wanna support people who are as real and as valid as me.
8:23 that’s a meme. basically you fall asleep first at the boys sleepover and wake up with like a full hip replacement it’s an exaggeration of like waking up with sharpie on your face
5:01 Cabela’s is a outdoors store in America. They specifically sell a lot of hunting gear and some fishing stuff. It was my favorite store when I was little.
That nurse/cop meme is down right scary given the statistics about the rate of abusers in the professions (police are highest but nurses come in at number 4) ... So. Yeah....
Regarding the pillow question: I'm nb and have 3 pillows - a flatter one for my head, a fluffy one for hugging, and a super squishy one for behind me. Pillow sandwich. It's extremely cozy, and helps keep my shoulders/clavicles from dislocating! ...it occurs to me that my data point may be a bit skewed by my wonky joints 😂
10:44. To get to the bus stop at the bottom of my road I have to walk past a nursery entrance. I do this a few times a week at drop off and pick up time. And I can definitely say that it is a mixture of parents, mum's, and dads that drop their children off and pick them up. At least from what I've seen. And the same goes with the parents on the bus taking (older) children to primary school.
I'm actually thankful for things being gendered sometimes. I'm a trans guy and want the male selection, especially on soaps and such I want to to identify for males, for example. Maybe you are stronger than I am, I need these marketed reassurances lol. I feel like it gives me a further chance to participate on the culture I missed out on as a kid, being forced into feminine things, and as an adult something stereotyped or advertised just for men is such a justice for me. A lot of the items in your video were needlessly gendered, the men's dresser sold me though. Lol
A really good experience is when family/friends gift you something gender affirming. like cologne, body wash, accessories. I don’t think you’re weak, I just think you want your preferred experience when the choice is there. aint nothing wrong with that. I’ve bought dude wipes for shits and giggles. I don’t feel phased if someone else makes a big deal out of it, its fucking wipes!
@@charlieandhisantics9954 I don't have anything with camo print but I would love to have cargo pants with camo print (might also get a guitar strap with it) I am a trans guy too but it's more that 2 of my hobbies are firearms and aviation so camo print stuff would somewhat be an expression of my interests rather than my gender
Thought I was a cis woman, but apparently I'm not. Cause I have one pillow, have a disorganised desktop, sometimes I eat pizza when home alone but sometimes I clean and I'm not married to a cop.
Nicely done. The first one sounds like someone in China was assigned the text and used a translator program. 2:10 - Here in the States, that is referred to as a "tall boy" and I don't know why it was ever assigned a gender. 3:20 - Again, Chinese text (plus many Chinese women make a normal English person feel very tall...) Cabella's sells guns, ammo, canoes, camo, and other outdoor necessities. They sell shoes and clothing for both men and women, so I guess it should be on the girl's card too! 😁
I use two because I have an old neck injury and have to keep my need and neck at a specific position. As a family we have probably over 30 including four couch pillows…… wait three including my between the legs! Because my dad never throws away pillows…. When they get old he just buys more and the old ones in the pillow pile.
Cabela's: outdoors/hunting store Indigo: book store Hudson's Bay: department store David's tea: tea store Milestones: restaurant Sports check: clothing/sports equipment
I feel so safe here yk? Like Jamie just makes me feel so supported and happy, especially as today has been a bit of a 𝘥𝘢𝘺. But honestly this is the pick me up I needed today.
my personal favourite non-gendered term for ruler, as an enby, is “[their] dark majesty” also the smoke and vanilla candle would smell of smoke because it says it’s a wood wick candle! they’re brilliant and have a lovely crackle as they burn as well :)
4:16 I’ve seen a few enby ruler titles thrown around. Personally, I like Liege, but I’ve also commonly gears Ruler and Monarch. Although, in my search for more gender neutral words, I found some people using Themporer, and now that is one of my favorites
5:45 i find this hilarious because my dad has such neatly organised folders for everything while i (a girl) throw everything into ‘new folder’ on my desktop
In the science fiction series The Interdependency by John Scalzi (recommended for science fiction fans, first book is called "The Collapsing Empire") they have an Emperox, which turns out to be not an ancient title but a gender-neutral substitute for Emperor/Empress, market researched (in the book) and found to be pleasant, easy to use and to sound friendly. I personally love it. In the kink scene i prefer to be called "Mistrix", I love that it's gender-neutral and sounds cool.
I felt very educated when I read that the gender neutral term for prince/princess is young royal. Yes, it was in a D/S forum xD I like royal or ruler for an adult.
(10:50) Then they say "it's annoying being inclusive having to write 'mums, dads and non-gender conforming adults'" or something like that, when all they have to use is 'parents'. Technically 'guardians'.
I am a woman and have a lot of throw pillows (on my bed, on the sofa, on the guest bed) but it’s because I fell in love with the look of a bed full of pillows as a kid and decided I wanted to waste money on it when I was a grown up. My mom likes plenty of throw pillows on furniture, but just a couple of shams and one decorative one on a bed. I’m not sure my sister knows what the word sham means, and I know the only throw pillows she owns she took from home when she first moved out. We’re all women, my sister and I grew up in the same household. But our view on non sleeping pillows couldn’t be more different.

Growing up my parents didn't let me sleep with a pillow/ stuffed animals because those are "for women". Now that I'm in college I can say I really like having a pillow.
Pillows?! Damn
Okay, the stuffed animal one is at least sexist in a way I'm familiar with. Why no pillows? Is neck pain masculine?
@@TheBluestflamingos everyone knows you are not a man unless your neck is rotated 90º
i don’t get the stuffed animal one in an “i agree with that” way, but i kinda get it because i’ve heard that before. it doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s fairly common.
but *pillows?* what
You're allowed to try a plushie too.
It's warm and comfy 😉
Imagine a trans man coming out to his family and the family is like "well, we need to remove your pillows now"
"Noooo, not the pillows mom!"
"your pillows pass has been revoked"
I'm so tempted to make a top surgery joke.
i did get told by a family member to not use a blanket because "guys wear sweaters"
I'm very confused, I only have one pillow, if my pillow isn't going to tell me my gender will I ever figure it out?
I love how "smoke & vanilla" as a candle scent just sounds like a poorly made vanilla scented candle.
I've actually had a candle with a similar scent, and it's honestly a lovely scent. Like, it's usually not just generic "smoke" smell, like just "thing on fire." It's often a woodsmoke sort of scent, or in some cases a pipe smoke scent (though those are more often labeled as "tobacco" scent). The latter is usually a very rich, slightly spicy smell, and pairs really well with the vanilla, often producing a lovely sweet kind of scent. Meanwhile, the more woodsmoke types tend to create a more outdoorsy kind of scent, more crisp and sharp, with the vanilla kind of rounding off the proverbial edges. (I'm a nut for perfumes, incense, candles, all that kind of stuff, so learning about scents and how they interact is kinda my jam.)
@@Mokiefraggle Cool. Thanks for the candle scent information. Cool hobby.
Actually, it's probably much better. Vanilla by itself can be very cloying. Smoke would help balance out the scent profile.
@@lucienfortner841 Eh. Personally I love vanilla and I don't find it overpowering.
Haha, it's just secretly vanilla....they added smoke just because it's a candle
That would be a funny plot twist just so it seemed more "masculine" for pointlessly gendered
"Apparently non-binary people have no personality traits" That's because our personalities are just an amalgamation of trauma responses and neurodivergent traits ✨✨✨

As a kid I was super curious about gendered surprise bags at my local dollar tree so I got a bunch of both genders. They were essentially the same, just an assortment of toys, stickers, I think there was some candy. Only difference was that the boy ones never had pink toys or dolls and the girl ones did on occasion.
That's interesting. At least, I guess, no weird parent is going to flip out because her son got a pink sticker!
Shit man, looks like you won another surprise bag just now. Have fun, ig.

Update: We’ve moved a bunch of the pink roller skates/sports equipment to the “boys” section and mixed it in. Colours for all!
Proper use of chaotic powers.
It makes perfect sense, because all of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are female. Or at least, so we thought...
Child me would have shrieked in delight. With the exception of barbies and horses, I usually had more "boy" toys. Dinosaurs, hot wheels, action figures, lego etc.
Also put some pink toys in the boys section every now and then. Had 5 year old me come across some pink stuff in the toy section made for me I would've lost it, and I can't be anywhere near the only one.
@@wintergray1221 I always wanted "boy's" toys, but didn't think I was allowed them (in hindsight, my parents probably would have bought them for me if I'd asked). So I used to play with my brother's toys a lot - things like knex, games consoles, etc.
the reason a lot of the gendered products on amazon don't say "for men" or "for women" on the actual box is because amazon sometimes makes those crazy labels instead of the brand

Re: the dresser
Traditionally men's dressers were tall and narrow and women's dressers were short and long. I think that is why they were saying that dresser was a "man's" dresser (it was tall). They were often sold as a set (1 for him and 1 for her) and I remember seeing my grand relatives have such sets when I was a kid. The women's dressers typically had a mirror attached to them, for use as a vanity, which is why they were lower and more table-like. Nowadays you just buy whatever fits your space best. For example a long, low dresser is good if you want it to double as a TV stand and a tall, narrow dresser is more space-saving.
Yes, my grandparents also had a set like this.
Yes think these dressers are still called a ‘tall boy’.
That's interesting. We love our tallboy as it fits the space perfectly.
Yes, and the short "women's" dresser often had a hutch with a mirror on it too. I have a bedroom set with both
yeah, my mother still has the remnants of the set her and my father (F in the chat) had; the “women’s” is HUGE, three drawers wide and tall, with a giant floral etched mirror and shelves framing it, and the “men’s”… is one wide, five tall, only reason you can tell they match is they have the same knobs.
My favorite will always be men's/women's rings.They're literally loops of metal or ceramic
The men's and women's rings are probably sized differently, though. I'm wondering if that's also the difference between the "vampire" teeth and the "vampiress" teeth.
@Larissa Pienaar I agree. Most "women's" hats are "once size fits most", and as an AMAB with a large head, I'm not "most". It's so frustrating that the cutest hats never fit me. (And that's true with most other clothing, too. "Plus sized" women's clothing is very rarely as cute as the non-plus-sized version. And the cutest women's shoes don't come in size 12WW.)

I work in a card shop and some of the cards are gendered (not all of them of course, but some) and sometimes make sense cause it’ll say something like “you’re a cool guy” or “happy birthday mom” but sometimes they’ll be a card that’s categorized as “birthday for him” and it’ll just be like a glass of whiskey and inside it just says “happy birthday” and it’s like… women can like whiskey, this doesn’t seem male specific.
Although we do also have wedding cards and new parent cards for same sex couples, which I think is pretty neat. We also have a furry card but I’m pretty sure that was inadvertent.
Would you care to further explain the inadvertent furry card, because I'm curious
I'm imagining the furry card as textured, like a kids' book 😆🐶

I can confirm that the cards at 4:35 are very glaringly Canadian (as a Canadian).
Indigo is a book store chain, Roots makes clothes (usually of a simple-looking, cozy sort that you'd wear at a cottage or something. It's weird to describe but it makes sense if you check them out), and Hudson's Bay is like a brand that has department stores. Fun fact, it's one of the oldest brands in North America as it has it's roots in the Hudson's Bay Company that used to be a major fur trader.
Sportchek is a sport store, just like it sounds, so I'm surprised that it wasn't also on the "for him" card.
Also no idea why the makers thought that women would like tea and popcorn but not men, but I guess you have to just...draw the line somewhere.

I'm nonbinary and I have five pillows on my bed right now. I've always had more than three pillows on my bed because my neck needs support, and added two more to reduce the stress on my shoulder and upper arm. I also have five smaller pillows in reserve, and a bunch of backrest pillows in the closet in case I need them. One can never have too many pillows.
I'm a girl and I like to have one pillow only - a nice, thick, firm one that can support my neck and doesn't collapse and leave me with headaches in the morning. Occasionally I'll use a second one to prop me up if I want to read in bed but usually It just lives somewhere else in the room. Meanwhile my parents, who are a hetero couple, have about 10 pillows each on their respective sides. This is to aid in reading, and watching UA-cam videos such as this 👌😌
(Congrats on reaching one million subscribers btw Jamie! :D)
same, I am a woman and I, too, use one pillow. Sometimes even zero pillows. Depends on mood an convenience.
I'm trans and I, myself, really like pillows. But the specific, firm ones that can support your back.
I'm enby and i have 6 pillows, 8 counting the squishmallows
I only have two. One is a decoy pillow for kittens
I did have a very thick one when laying on my back but a second when laying on my side. But the thick one is tired so now there’s an extra regular one to prop it up.
There’s also the body pillows and some smaller ones that I prop up my iPad on.

I like the ragecomic version of girls sleepovers vs boys sleepovers where the girls summon demons for fun n the boys had to fight them going "who keeps summoning these demons?"
Also the "real men marry nurses, real women marry cops" is a stereotype, at least here in Indonesia cuz "uniformed men" (cops, PNS workers) usually go for nurses

The biggest factor in me going from a 2 pillow person to multi pillow was developing fibromyalgia. The biggest reason for my organized desktop is a sensitivity to visual stimuli.
I relate in the exact opposite way; when my fibromyalgia really kicked into high gear (always had it, but it decided it didn’t hurt enough and wanted me to be disabled instead a few years ago) I couldn’t stand having so many pillows anymore so now I only have two (one for my head and one for my right arm)
8:30 This is possibly a reference to the "First Person To Fall Asleep At The Sleepover" meme, about the idea that the first person to fall asleep at a sleepover gets pranked. There were quite a few UA-cam videos earlier this year, that put such a caption on fast-forwarded 3-D diagrammatic animation of major surgical procedures, as if they were extreme pranks.
I received the “happy her” card for Christmas from a family member, and commented to a friend later “ah, dysphoria! just what I wanted!”
My computer likes to start pretending like its organized with folder names and whatnot, but then every single folder is filled with things that aren't meant to be in there anyways and inevitably I will end up creating another "I'm too lazy to organize" folder that is meant to be used to prevent that problem, but will inevitably end up going mostly ignored.
I have no less than 5 "misc" folders. I'm too scared to go through them, honestly.
My FTM husband told me that the first thing you need to do at the gender clinic is to give out all your cushions and extra pillows in exchange for power tools. Plus if you give out scented candles they exchange them for Lynx 5 in 1 soaps.
You should do one of these (maybe with OT) as a guessing game. Like, just show the picture of the dresser, guess what gender it's labeled for, then reveal the rest of the post. Or show a pic of two avocado halves, guess which one is male and which is female, then show the post gendering them
I'd love to see that.
That's a great idea! The two of them would be a riot to watch trying to figure out what gender things are.

FYI: Cabela's makes fishing tackle boxes and other outdoors recreational supplies. Their boxes and cases are also purchased by anyone who has a lot of small items to organize. I have a lot of organizers from one of their competitors, Plano, which I assume has a fairly similar product line. Plano merch is just is more available in my area than Cabela's.
Interestingly, Plano has a spin-off brand aimed at women called Caboodles. Apparently, some company exec got really hot and bothered by the thought of women buying their manly merchandise to store jewelry findings or make-up. I find the main line far more useful for my purposes than Caboodles, because they have more adjustable dividers for customization. Talk about pointless gendering!

Canadian here 😊 Hudson’s Bay is a department store, Indigo is like Waterstones, DavidsTea is a specialty tea shop, Sport Chek is like a sports department store, Cabela’s is like an outdoor shop (fishing/camping/etc.), Milestones is an mid-tier restaurant, Roots is a unisex clothing store, Saks off 5th is also a clothing store that’s like the cheaper version of Saks Fifth Avenue, the “whatever that is” is a shop called Home Hardware (self-explanatory), and you nailed it with Kernels. So the ladies like clothes and the men like outside stuff and hardware. 😂
6:35 I think, Jamie, that this is less "pointlessly gendered" and more "subverting gendered stereotypes."
My parents tried to raise me and my brother gender neutral. They failed, I was the most girly girl, pink princess ballet everything and my brother just liked football, cars and monsters.
We both grew out of it though. And we both grew up knowing that personal preference CAN be stereotypical, but it doesn't NEED to be. It was and is our own choice to make. And for the 'not stereotypically girly' things I liked as a kid, I never understood why other kids found it weird.
I bought the tiny camera for my niece (yes, a girl!) on her birthday. Can confirm it is smol, it takes kind of decent photos, and her brother CAN use it… when she lets him 😅
6:09 that's literally why I'm nonbinary
To avoid both the stereotypes
4:25 Friendly neighbourhood Canadian here to let you know what's on the Happy Her/Happy Him cards, if you wanna know:
DavidsTea: loose leaf and bagged tea, a lot of funky flavours
Milestones: casual restaurant
Indigo: used to just be a bookstore, now they have a huge lifestyle section
SportChek: activewear/sport goods store
Saks Off 5th: department store, but I'm pretty sure they mostly just sell clothes
Roots: clothing store
Kernels: popcorn! they literally just sell popcorn, there are locations in various foodcourts and malls
Hudson's Bay: department store
Golf Town: indeed, a golf goods store
HH = Home Hardware: home improvement store
Cabela's: hunting/fishing retailer? (had to google this one...)
Maybe I'm biased but the Happy "Her" card seems like an objectively better value. They should just put all these locations on one card and call it "Happy Shopper." Wow, making things gender neutral is sOoOoO hard! /s
The funny thing is, both cards can be spent in all the same places, they just put different pictures on the cards. Just to make people buy the "correct" gender ones lol
@@nathryl03 Is that for real??? Ohmygod… I hate these cards even more now lol
@@afirewasinmyhead Yeah, they're pretty stupid lol
hh on "happy for him" is Home Hardware, where, as a woman, I can never shop or I will instantly die.
I'm a trans guy, will the XX chromosomes and being a guy cancel each other out or...
I definitely prefer when they set up a [false] dichotomy like this and just say "tag yourself" instead of assigning people to one or the other. I have exactly two pillows (one for my head, one for my knees). I have organized folders (yet I find the unlabeled folders hilarious and relatable). I relax when I'm home alone. I love tree houses. I don't have a talented cat. So many of these have two things that are equally far away from my personality and interests, so I'd be trying to tag myself in the margin or some random thing in the background.
5:06
As a Canadian, I find it such a strange concept to not recognize the Home Hardware logo. XD
But honestly, they are relatively stereotypical gendered stores. Indigo and Hudson's Bay (being the only same ones) are a book store and a department store respectively.
I saw so much extra needless gendering when I visited the USA and Canada. Like plenty is gendered in the UK but not to that degree.
The men’s and women’s shampoos and stuff had entirely different aisles, and even used different euphemisms! I think it was “women’s sanitation” and “men’s grooming”, but it was a decade ago so I probably got that wrong.
Here, yes those products are all gendered, but the layout of the store isn’t. There’s a shampoo section and the women’s and men’s ones are right next to each other (usually white and black). Then, the same with the razors. But the American and Canadian stores had all the shampoo and shower gel and razor blades and everything grouped together by gender, so the customers needn’t even see the other ones.
It’s me, I’m the psychopath with one pillow
(gasp)
The gendered gift cards are from Canada, specifically 😄 Indigo is like Barnes & Nobles (used to be called Chapters) and Hudson's Bay is known as a Canadian 'luxury goods retail store'. The two red and white 'h's are for a store called Home Hardware.
These cards always crack me up. Aside from the assortments making little sense, they basically took the worst attributes of gift cards and pre-paid credit cards (both usually available on the same display rack) and combined them together in a single inferior product.
The Happy Kid card (different from the Happy Teen card) has East Side Mario's on it. What kids are going to East Side Mario's without their family? Or is paying your own bill just what the kids are into these days?
My pillow preference is that there's no such thing as too many pillows. Give me another pillow and I'll figure out how to add it to my current pillow cocoon.
4:40 I’m from Canada and have all of these nearby, might be Canadian, especially with Hudson’s Bay (only genocidal department store) since it’s a store that goes back to Canada’s beginnings (hence the prior comment since they were part of colonization). I think I might’ve seen these, don’t really remember.
1:33 I used to have none pillow actually xD Ive nvr liked sleepin with pillows as theyre usually way too uncomfy for me for sensory reasons.
However, i currently have one pillow, but i mostly use it to give more support when i need a backrest as its a memory foam one that sorta molds into my back nicely.
However, my bed is taken up 50% by stuffys xD And i have several squishmallows, which ill often use one of while sleepin bcuz the stuffy material is a sensory comfort not discomfort and it raises my head just slightly off the bed.
As an NB I use royal instead of king/queen :)
Real men respect others. I'm a Cis man and I love watching Jamie because I find him entertaining and because I wanna support people who are as real and as valid as me.
As a fellow cis man that thinks exactly the same way, respect brother
@@PinkPuffball1992 respect exchanged.
8:23 that’s a meme. basically you fall asleep first at the boys sleepover and wake up with like a full hip replacement
it’s an exaggeration of like waking up with sharpie on your face
5:01 Cabela’s is a outdoors store in America. They specifically sell a lot of hunting gear and some fishing stuff. It was my favorite store when I was little.
That nurse/cop meme is down right scary given the statistics about the rate of abusers in the professions (police are highest but nurses come in at number 4) ... So. Yeah....
yeah the whole "male bullies become cops, female bullies become nurses" is maybe the only stereotype I've found that holds up
@@imblue9839 Not always. My ex-girlfriend was in the law enforcement profession. (Although not technically a cop.)
Ahh I'm so happy for another video! I'm sick right now, and this has brightened my day tremendously!
Just got over a case of powerful nausia. I feel ya
@ProXami it's just a certain youtuber lol. I don't rlly mean to offend anyone
9:16 Ah yes, the five genders... Happy lady, stern lady, scared man, angry man, and.......gorilla?
That angry man looks like trump lol
Regarding the pillow question: I'm nb and have 3 pillows - a flatter one for my head, a fluffy one for hugging, and a super squishy one for behind me. Pillow sandwich. It's extremely cozy, and helps keep my shoulders/clavicles from dislocating! ...it occurs to me that my data point may be a bit skewed by my wonky joints 😂
10:44. To get to the bus stop at the bottom of my road I have to walk past a nursery entrance. I do this a few times a week at drop off and pick up time. And I can definitely say that it is a mixture of parents, mum's, and dads that drop their children off and pick them up. At least from what I've seen. And the same goes with the parents on the bus taking (older) children to primary school.
I'm actually thankful for things being gendered sometimes. I'm a trans guy and want the male selection, especially on soaps and such I want to to identify for males, for example. Maybe you are stronger than I am, I need these marketed reassurances lol. I feel like it gives me a further chance to participate on the culture I missed out on as a kid, being forced into feminine things, and as an adult something stereotyped or advertised just for men is such a justice for me. A lot of the items in your video were needlessly gendered, the men's dresser sold me though. Lol
Especially when everything has to have camo on it, or be about war. That shit is way too funny IMO
A really good experience is when family/friends gift you something gender affirming. like cologne, body wash, accessories. I don’t think you’re weak, I just think you want your preferred experience when the choice is there. aint nothing wrong with that. I’ve bought dude wipes for shits and giggles. I don’t feel phased if someone else makes a big deal out of it, its fucking wipes!
@@charlieandhisantics9954 I don't have anything with camo print but I would love to have cargo pants with camo print (might also get a guitar strap with it)
I am a trans guy too but it's more that 2 of my hobbies are firearms and aviation so camo print stuff would somewhat be an expression of my interests rather than my gender
I love that the person said "if you're man can't lift 102kg, he isn't a man" cos I can't lift 102kg. Ty for confirming that I am agender ❤️
My favorite nonbinary version of king/queen has always been Themperor lol
Thought I was a cis woman, but apparently I'm not. Cause I have one pillow, have a disorganised desktop, sometimes I eat pizza when home alone but sometimes I clean and I'm not married to a cop.
Nicely done.
The first one sounds like someone in China was assigned the text and used a translator program.
2:10 - Here in the States, that is referred to as a "tall boy" and I don't know why it was ever assigned a gender.
3:20 - Again, Chinese text (plus many Chinese women make a normal English person feel very tall...)
Cabella's sells guns, ammo, canoes, camo, and other outdoor necessities.
They sell shoes and clothing for both men and women, so I guess it should be on the girl's card too! 😁
I think those articles are also named to get into as many search results as possible
For the sleepover meme: As once said, girls slumber parties are just witch meetings and movie night
Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Don't tell the world our secrets!!!
I've been bingeing your videos lately and you've become a huge comfort channel for me!
welcome to the club
DONT LISTEN TO IT
ITS A SCAM
@@sage-the-silly-0.0 Thanks, I know it's a scam! A ton of youtubers have these particular scam comments happening at the moment.
@@sadlystuckinreality ohhh ok
I'm a demigirl. I want to be Emperor.
Yeah, I as a girl, usually prefer using King and Emperor for some reason, making me doubt my gender but oh well XD
I use two because I have an old neck injury and have to keep my need and neck at a specific position. As a family we have probably over 30 including four couch pillows…… wait three including my between the legs! Because my dad never throws away pillows…. When they get old he just buys more and the old ones in the pillow pile.
Cabela's: outdoors/hunting store
Indigo: book store
Hudson's Bay: department store
David's tea: tea store
Milestones: restaurant
Sports check: clothing/sports equipment
Was about to eat foods but Jamie posted, my health is less important.
-an AroAce trans masc
Same! I was literally in the middle of making myself rice, but this was too important!
@@AliciaMajo exactly
Hi fellow ace. I ate dinner WHILE watching the video :P
@@chantiemaya :0
I feel so safe here yk?
Like Jamie just makes me feel so supported and happy, especially as today has been a bit of a 𝘥𝘢𝘺. But honestly this is the pick me up I needed today.
my personal favourite non-gendered term for ruler, as an enby, is “[their] dark majesty”
also the smoke and vanilla candle would smell of smoke because it says it’s a wood wick candle! they’re brilliant and have a lovely crackle as they burn as well :)
"Their dark majesty" is fun. As a fellow enby, for a character in a play I wrote with some friends, I call them Royal Alex, or Ruler Alex.
4:16 I’ve seen a few enby ruler titles thrown around. Personally, I like Liege, but I’ve also commonly gears Ruler and Monarch. Although, in my search for more gender neutral words, I found some people using Themporer, and now that is one of my favorites
I’ve heard that “Quing” is one, could be wrong though.
5:45 i find this hilarious because my dad has such neatly organised folders for everything while i (a girl) throw everything into ‘new folder’ on my desktop
me looking at my nest of pillows: you sleep with only two?
Had a real crappy day today and this video cheered me up so much!😊
Sending you massive hugs ☀
In the science fiction series The Interdependency by John Scalzi (recommended for science fiction fans, first book is called "The Collapsing Empire") they have an Emperox, which turns out to be not an ancient title but a gender-neutral substitute for Emperor/Empress, market researched (in the book) and found to be pleasant, easy to use and to sound friendly. I personally love it. In the kink scene i prefer to be called "Mistrix", I love that it's gender-neutral and sounds cool.
I felt very educated when I read that the gender neutral term for prince/princess is young royal. Yes, it was in a D/S forum xD
I like royal or ruler for an adult.
(10:50) Then they say "it's annoying being inclusive having to write 'mums, dads and non-gender conforming adults'" or something like that, when all they have to use is 'parents'. Technically 'guardians'.
I am a woman and have a lot of throw pillows (on my bed, on the sofa, on the guest bed) but it’s because I fell in love with the look of a bed full of pillows as a kid and decided I wanted to waste money on it when I was a grown up. My mom likes plenty of throw pillows on furniture, but just a couple of shams and one decorative one on a bed. I’m not sure my sister knows what the word sham means, and I know the only throw pillows she owns she took from home when she first moved out.
We’re all women, my sister and I grew up in the same household. But our view on non sleeping pillows couldn’t be more different.
Flat bottomed cups, you make the rocking world go round!
Oh....you gonna drink from me tonight?
It's so neat getting a peek of your wedding ring. Congrats again to you and Shaaba!
As an nb dating a nurse, I can say that I'm, in fact, not a real man
1:02
Me, with Yoda voice: Do it for you, I will.
You questioning the pronunciation of Cabelas gave me life! Lol its a outdoor/hunting retailer, very "manly" 🤣 great video as always.
