      +bananenparty No you're right, ally is the correct term for someone who supports the cause, but I believe it's just a general blanket term for all supporters. I'd say in this case, calling Benny and Lee allies sounds like they are just general supporters, but they have actually personally stood by Jordan, so friends fits better.

      +ThatAussieGirl try not to engage the troll. They feed off of the hate and negativity given to them. It stems from being ignored as a child, mommy and daddy not giving them enough attention.
      Reporting an account, unfortunately, does nothing but give them pleasure, as the account is nothing but a throwaway account. Whenever I see these troll posts, I just feel sorry for them. You should too, they deserve nothing but our pity, most certainly not our attention.
      Instead of reporting or responding, do what they hate the most: give a positive comment a response. At the most, only share with the trolls the fact that you pity them.

    • @VistasClemency
      @VistasClemency 8 років тому +1

      +ThatAussieGirl it's a psychological effect. They don't KNOW that the reason is parental neglect, all they see is "Oh! Someone's paying attention to me! Let's see why... Oh, it's because I disagreed with them in a childish manner and used vulgar language! Imma do that ALL the time now!" *end dramatic reenactment*

You are a beautiful woman and I'm looking forward to seeing future videos!

    Six years ago...I saw the video
    I'm mostly commenting because...It's been a huge influence. Not to myself personally, I'm cisgendered and haven't felt otherwise, However Jordan was the first person I've personally had come out as trans.
    It wasn't that big of a deal of course. Why really should it be? I don't know her personally. She makes content I enjoy. That's it.
    But...It did open my eyes to the transgender issue for so many others.
    But I have had friends and even family come out since then. And thankfully...because of Jordan and her own coming out. It was never something I had to think twice about.
    Transgender people are their gender of specification. Plain and Simple.
    Thank you Jordan, even now. You may not realize it but your bravery has helped so many people in ways you may never have imagined.

    A'ight, I'm watching this now for the first time. I was wondering why Jordan had this feminine appearance over the last few year but the most I could think of was "He's an artist. Let him do what he wants. Maybe it's a campaign maybe it's for their new program. Who cares anyways. He's awesome"
    Now that I've seen this I want to make a few corrections:
    "Let her do what she wants. Who cares anyways. She's awesome"

She is a comedian after all, and though there are a lot of terrible reasons to cross-dress for the sake of comedy, there are a few acceptable ones as well.

      +TheFinal Banter Sexuality has nothing to do with gender identity, first off. Second, even if the concept of being trans doesn't make sense to you and you can't wrap your head around it, you have to be a special kind of awful to tell people to kill themselves for doing something that makes them happier and more satisfied with their life. I don't understand gardening, but I'm not going to tell people to kill themselves for spending hours every week tending their floral displays. In a roundabout way I'm basically telling you that most people are happy for people who make a life change that makes them happier, so you're in the minority, and you're not going to just convert people to being cruel.

      Do hormones do alot even when you're an adult though? I kinda though they only worked (for changing appearance and stuff) when you were still growing. I admit I know basically nothing about how transitioning works though.

    • @axisofawesome
      @axisofawesome  7 років тому +60

      oh no they affect so much. Skin quality, fat distribution, muscle density, body hair, breast growth... There are a bunch of things that get set during puberty like the size of your bones but lots and lots of things change with hormones.

    Great to hear it, Jordan. I've been struggling with that exact same realization myself lately, and while I'm still not sure how to approach it to people in real life, at the very least having an answer--and people like you to show me it can work well--make me confident in moving forward with it.

      +Cleretic I know a few trans people and of course acceptance of friends and family was utterly terrifying for them. But you know what? They've not lost one person in their life, if anything this made a lot of people crawl out of the wood work to wish them well. I hope you get lots of love and support and please get involved with your local trans community, they've all been through it and can be invaluable resources. I really wish you all the best and hope you finish 2016 a lot happier and more comfortable with yourself! X

    • @baynemacgregor8441
      @baynemacgregor8441 8 років тому +5

      +musicalman1995 It's always the case even though only about 4% of people are strongly against Transgender legal equality while 40% are in favour (Galaxy poll back in 2008!). Thing is this tiny group of haters are desperate to seem the majority so they post a ton.
      Why? Well with Homophobes studies found most Homophobes have strongly repressed same-sex attraction, so it's quite likely the same thing is involved in this hate. So some are Trans themselves and pouring hate on other Trans people to try and hurt and keep repressed their own Trans self, while others have Trans-attraction as their innate sexual orientation and are trying to punish the people they are attracted to for setting off the desires inside them.

    • @baynemacgregor8441
      @baynemacgregor8441 8 років тому +6

      +wilson hill Nope. While the Kinsey study suggested the vast majority of people are some degree of Bi more recent studies only put the rate at around 1 in 5 admit to some same-sex attraction and around 2%-3% self-identify as homosexual.
      Homophobes like Transphobes are just loud, they aren't remotely the majority as that Galaxy poll shows, 85% of Australians supported antidiscrimination protections for Transgender and gay people years ago with 40% strongly in favour.

I think you show great courage and grace. I know it's silly because I don't really know you, but I'm proud of you! And I'm excited to watch you grow, and offer what support I can as fan during your transition. No pressure - but the community needs an ambassador like you. Funny, smart, takes no shit! Wishing you well from Michigan. :)
