a few weeks ago i was in a bathroom and someone came in them: *drops smth* sorry me: its fine them: wait.... you're not one of those boys pretending to be a girl, right? my cis afab ass: ...no?
i love the "ive been called out several times for being in the mens room and youre gonna be called out on whatever youre doing" like lady you are the problem not us
What's funny is that it seemed the person she was harassing isn't even trans. Doesn't matter the community, once you start gatekeeping and trying to exclude people, you hurt a lot more people than just those you're trying to hurt.
Why was she even in the men's room that many times though? If she's so bent over non-conforming people being in the gendered restrooms, why did she break her own rules? "Laws for thee, but not for me!" Smh. 🙄
@@dragonfloof5484Conservative ideology on the purpose of laws: there must be groups the law protects but does not bind, and groups the law binds but does not protect.
I love how she was "righteous" all the way to the end too. "Okay so it's a girl 😠" like lady YOU WERE WRONG the entire time!! She didn't even apologize for literally harassing her for no goddamned reason
@@virginiavallek1654 yeah to be clear, you literally made that up. Gender affirming surgeries have an incredibly low regret late, even lower than things like knee surgery. The literal only major statistical element contributing to trans rates of self-harm/ideation post-treatment (HRT, surgery, and/or social transition) is whether or not the person is accepted by the people around them. Trans self-harm/ideation rates are a harassment issue.
fun fact: in stardew valley, choosing a female character is LITERALLY a speedrun strat since your mother would give you 500 gold, meanwhile the males just get cookies
Reminder: Trans people aren’t going to attack you in the bathroom if someone wants to attack you they aren’t going to claim to be trans they’re just going to attack you.
No, they will claim to be trans, and maybe they won’t attack you, just go into the women’s restroom and look at women, however after pointing out this flaw in your logic I seem to be called transphobic… Remember, that these fucking pedos exist, and they will use your system to their advantage, so maybe we should do away with the whole “trans bathroom” thing
It always made me so confused because yeah, of course someone that wanted to attack a woman would totally go "woah, that's WOMEN'S bathroom, I can't go in there, it's not okay..." like it's so stupid to think that...
@@yellow_smierdziel ok, allow me to explain it like this. Pedos right, what they want is illegal, so by giving them a opportunity to so easily get what they want, with effectively no chances of people noticing or saying anything, they would TOTALLY NEVER break the rules to get what they want nor would the drug addicts or criminals
Also the biggest argument tends to be about womens bathrooms and like, we have stalls? Like it's not like you're getting an eyefull off someones balls? Who cares? Creepy people will be creepy regardless of trans status, so let people shit in peace...
As a trans person I'm eternally thankful for channels like yours for not only supporting trans people but bringing awareness to those who might otherwise not care about it. Thank you OT.
Gotta love the actual scientist saying, "This isn't new science we made up. You're just so stupid you forgot that you failed your science classes in high school."
The scientist missed one important aspect; there IS a biological component to gender, but it's not the one people think. The social construct angle starts to fall apart on hard analysis, because, as he said, that's sociology. Meanwhile, nearly every trans person tested in one experiment was found to have a brainwave pattern more similar to the average of the opposite sex than their own sex. This tendency was found in trans people whether they had begun HRT or not. While the differences between the brains of the sexes aren't nearly as pronounced as some infographics might indicate, they are present; trans people, whether by deep scan or autopsy, have been found to have a brain structure consistent with the opposite sex. And the sexed hormones have a profoundly negative effect on the wrong brain structure, backed up by experiments where cisgendered volunteers underwent basic HRT for a short period of time and experienced the horror of dysphoria without fail. He did nail a few of the causes like mosaic sex chromosomes and hormone washes (this one's still theory. Basically if you get a reduced rate of T between 10 weeks, when the brain starts forming, and the end of the second trimester, when the brain's tendencies are finalized, you have a higher chance of having a feminine brain structure. It's unknown whether this is the mother under/overdelivering or the fetus failing to signal correctly (which may be genetic). This also affects your digit ratio and can potentially affect your sexuality even if it doesn't affect your gender), but he missed chimerization (when a twin absorbs the other twin's fetus and the final result is a combination of their traits) I guess no one really wants to bring up the wrong brain argument, either because they aren't aware of it, or they're afraid of a potential eugenics scenario. But more than any other argument it has the most validity; I've watched transphobes (we need a better name, it's not fear for the most part) reverse their opinion almost entirely when confronted with the proof
@@ChibiKamiyou can call the transphobes bigots. Kind of like a homophobe is a bigot. And a xenophobe is a bigot. It’s all some kind of bigotry that they got indoctrinated with instead of empathy and science.
@@juliankirby9880 Yeah! Like, I've met some people who are actually agitated by or fearful of romantic same-sex contact, and many of them have no problem with the existence of homosexuality. These so-called "homophobes" aren't even true homophobes most of the time, in fact a significant fraction of them might be gay or bi.
although it is possible, I do not assume that the bigots are closeted and self hating. I assume they were indoctrinated into a "hate your neighbor" socially conservative ideology. you know, the hateful hierarchy enforcement "nobody can be different Anti American" way @@TheReaverOfDarkness
I was transphobic a while back, and your memes and talking about the struggles that trans people have made me feel bad for acting that way and be more understanding and acepting of them. Thanks you ^ ^ All my support for yall, be what you want to be
I was really sad when I heard. It wasn’t always the best, but it was a space for trans people to share memes of our experiences. It’s depressing that it’s gone.
@@Ambipie I heard the thing is only lasting 72 hours (at least according to r/historymemes), but that could be wrong. Edit: some are indefinite, some are a set time

SO MANY PEOPLE have asked my wife why she didn't just 'stay a dude' if she's attracted to women. The genuine confusion they display is exhausting for both transfolk and lesbians
I remember years ago a cis woman was arrested for trying to use the women’s restroom all because she didn’t have an ID and because she was dressed a little boyish. She was a biological woman, trying to use the women’s bathroom.
"dressed a little boyish" we really have regressed as a society 🤦♂ what, do women have to be dressed in full-length skirts and a full face of makeup with their hair long and loose for the idiot TERFs to recognize them as women now? (remembers how TERFs have inadvertently defined womanhood in severely sexist and objectifying ways) ...actually that might be exactly it
This is why I always say transphobia hurts all women. This Trans Derangement Syndrome always end up hurting cis women too who aren't conventionally attractive.
The "YOU BETTER USE THE MEN'S ROOM" / "YOU'LL NEVER BE A REAL WOMAN" stuff is hilarious because it just proves that transphobes constantly forget that trans men are a thing
I keep the role of masc because it's useful unfortunately. I didn't understand why people would want to be treated worse... Now I know they were always women and I am somewhere in the middle and will figure it out later.
@@patrickryan7829 Its good to take it at the pace you feel most comfortable with. Theres always time to sort things out. Somewhere in the middle solidarity 🤝
19:10 “Because I have been called out several times for being in the men’s room” I- I just… Lady, you just admitted you’re a repeat offender of the very thing you’re reprimanding this person for doing. The fact that you had bad experiences doing so DOES NOT give you permission to give someone else a bad time using the ladies’ bathroom. They’re using the facilities as intended and in a hygienic manner. Find actual problematic issues to spend your time and energy on.
Also that whole "I don't care what you do in your bedroom, don't do it here" is weird because ma'am, I'm not doing anything I would do in my bedroom, *I just have to pee or poop*.
@@StormscapeX for me, everyone regardless of ways to be can be a potential abuser,so I couldn't care less to be there classifying people based on hate. Literally every kind of people has that one creep, so it's pointless to be an asshole and be like oh, so u can't go there!!! Plus target (mainly) trans women as abusers literally is horrible. Also they're assuming all males are abusers as well because yes ig??(bc for them trans women are males in dresses so yep) Like not you're only being transphobic but also sexist
That lady in the bathroom in the video reminded me of that one time I (a BARELY passing transman that doesn't even really look like a dude, but still kinda is androgynous) was in the ladies bathroom at a Costco cause I still don't even feel close to being able to use the mens, and some middle aged lady came up and started knocking on my bathroom stall asking if I was "confused" (not in a nice way) and waited for me to come out before getting all up in my face and saying that there were little children in this bathroom and that if I wanted to "experiment" I needed to do it with "kids my age" and saying all kinds of weird shit, and threatened to call the police. Worth noting that I am a CLEARLY autistic individual, and was wearing headphones, and had a Keychain with my pronouns (they/them at the time) and the fact that I have autism and adhd, along with SEVERE social anxiety displayed clearly on a lanyard around my neck. so now she was yelling at me and basically calling me a p e d 0p h-il3, I was crying, hyperventilating, and there were people starting to crowd around, and a few of them were siding with her. One lady even called her husband in, claiming that I was trying to t0uch their daughter. He came in, and he looked fucking LIVID. So now there were people recording while some full grown man who looked like he spent three hours a day at the gym absolutely BLEW UP at me, telling me that he was gonna kick my ass, blah blah blah, while I stood there crying and shaking, trying to apologize and explain to him that I wasn't there to do anything to anyone. But then FINALLY..I hear someone shout at them to get away from me. I'm still crying, but through the panic attack I was having, I could distinguish that they were there to help me, so I went with them. As it turns out, it was an INCREDIBLY sweet girl who was probably around 20-25 years old who got me away from the bathroom and helped me find my parents. (Side note, after I told my dad what had happened, he stormed off towards the bathroom with a look on his face like he was ready to k1ll. We didn't see him again until after we were done shopping, when he met us out front with a bl00dy nose and bruised knuckles, and just joined us without saying anything.) So yah, long story short, I will NEVER be using a public washroom ever again 🥲
My biology teacher once said: "There are two sexes, but far more genders, and you can identify as whatever you want. Even if others don't support you, I will." She told us her daughter was trans and she'd gotten a lot of hate and discrimination for it.
My desire to be a girl started when I was about 8 years old, with no influence from "trans propaganda". Only realized I'm trans at the age of 21, then over a year of constantly thinking I'm faking it or don't deserve to be a girl, and now, at the age of 22, I can fully accept myself. I did not suffer for that long for some transphobe to tell me it's a fetish or a delusion! Thank you OT, for being a true ally.
I'm so happy to know you have come to accept yourself! Seems like a lot of people know it early on. I know it can't be easy to come to terms with all this-- For me it's my sexuality that started out when I was around 7. I'm a cis woman and always wished I would be allowed to like girls, and got sad when I thought I could only like girls if I were a boy (which doesn't align with me). Years of self hatred and now I'm out and cannot be happier.
I have my birth story memorized since I was very young because I was sure my mum wasn't telling me something. I kept thinking that one day, she'd slip up and admit that the birthing doctor snipped the wrong thing. Tried to give myself a haircut in kindergarten. (My mum thinks this prompted the invention of layered bangs 🙄 ) Finally got all the hair chopped off when I was 17. Explored masc-ness through fanfic for the next whatever years. (Realized that I don't want to marry all my favorite male characters; I wanted to BE them.) Finally started living as myself a few years ago. I'm 41 now.
@@maskedmallard537 Congrats for taking the steps to be yourself!! Also I know this isn't the point but it surprises me that people in their 30s and 40s read fanfic, hehe.
As longs as you know you're a TRANS woman and don't go around using women restrooms and stuff, you can be whatever you want. Honestly, some people are just the freakiest!
@@PiperJSmith I am another old fanfic dinosaur (36), I started reading them at 13 and not even a god or death itself will stop me from reading fanfics. I'll be 90 and still on either AO3 or whatever its successor is. (you haven't lived until you're learning english on your own and you click on a Link/Mailbox fic, thinking surely it's some weird English slang, and slowly parse someone wrote Adult Link from Ocarina of Time banging a mailbox, getting more and more confused and laughing so hard that you're crying at your first, _magical_ surprise trollfic, by the way)
I first heard the term Transgender when I was 13. I thought it was me immediately. I tried telling my parents but it didn’t go well. The only way to “fix” things was to “take it all back.” Over the course of 5 years I thought I was just being silly or that I was something else. Now I can happily say I’m Trans. One of my mates came up to me and said “you know how you said you thought you were trans then you weren’t 5 years ago? Yeah, I didn’t believe that for a second.”
Hi so, i’m 14 and my parents(especially my mom♥️) always supported me and taught me respect. My mom, last year, showed me a short film about LGBTQ+ community and the harassment they can live. She told me “If you ever want to come out, I’ll support you”. And I was so happy, and relieved that she would understand. Slowly, I’m experiencing gender dysphoria (i’m AFAB, but have really masculine looks, since i cut my hair) such as, feeling wrong in my body, when i look at my body becoming curvier and my b00bs growing. It just feels out of place, like they don’t belong there... But i still identify as a girl. I guess i’m kinda trans? Can you help me?
The confrontation in the bathroom has really upset me. Its just awful that people are harassed and interrogated like this. Most of the anti-trans ive seen in the UK has been hiding online.
It made me feel sick, especially as a masc-leaning afab enby who still uses the women's room, mainly because I'm very small, and feel safer with that option than the men's room. Of course, the memes where the trans masc guy gets called "ma'am" hit me way too hard too. People, I can change just about everything, but I can't grow over 5' at my age!
I'm a trans guy. No one in my family aside from my best friend and cousin in one (also trans!) supports me (constant deadnaming and misgendering,"Don't tell people or you'll embarass us and yourself" etc). Your vids help me get through dysphoria spikes,OT. So thank you for making them. You seem like such an absolutely sweet person ❤
I'm sorry your home life is so difficult, but I'm glad you have these two supporting you and having your back! I wish you the endurance to get trough that and there will be others (also irl, not only us anonymous poeple on the internet) who stand in your corner. But until then, we're here!
Always remember who you are, no one can tell you who you are or aren’t, no one has that right at all. You are a guy and that’s that if they can’t accept that and hurt you in this manner you can find a way to emancipate yourself if you are under the age of 18, so you can go no contact. ❤ there are sources out there that can help you, what you’re experiencing is abuse and it’s not ok. You have every right to be who you are, to be loved and accepted. You are not an embarrassment, you are not a burden, you should never be sorry for being yourself. Being yourself is the only choice you ever made, and if more people were brave enough to do what you’re doing the world would be so much brighter. ❤ if you need a chest binder point of pride . Org gives free chest binders for trans people who need them but don’t have access or can’t afford it, stay strong, you will get through this I promise ❤️
I was in the same situation as you back when I was a teen living with my mom and she didn't accept me - I thought I'd have to figure out how to get away from her and cut all ties for things to get better. but then after a few years she actually started listening to me and slowly but surely educated herself and now supports me being trans, something I never thought would actually happen. I hope your family realizes one day that they should support you too and that they come around, but even if they don't, remember that you're always free to cut off toxic people from your life. it is much more important for you to be happy and be yourself. hang in there friend ❤
Must protect the collector. 🥰 It hit me hard too. I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt comfortable in my own skin. But I just have to suck it up and smile because my parents want me to. And I don’t have a choice.
Even if it wasn't an issue of the health and wellbeing of people, surely people should be able do what they want? Why is it such an issue that people are being attacked?

why are there so many trans pharmacy techs? one of my IRL trans friends is also a pharmacy tech and I've seen like 3 comments from trans pharmacy techs on this video
You know, as a Christian I think I can cover all this. The foreskin removal stuff is circumcision, which is a Christian practice. However, nowadays, it’s usually done without the person’s consent. Due to the fact of being done when the person is born. Also, that’s a massive point of debate among Christians anyways. That’s not because God made someone less perfect or anything. Plus, I’m not sure that’s actually required by God’s law anymore. Back in Bible times it was done as a way of someone saying they’re baptized and going to obey the Lord for the rest of their life, or at least something like that, though, I’m not exactly sure on the specifics, now I have no idea what purpose it serves, neither from a moral perspective or from a Christian perspective. In fact, it might even very well be against the Lord’s laws to such a degree that it’s classified as a sin now. As of the tattoos, that’s actually specifically covered in the Bible and specifically labeled as a sin. So Christians aren’t even supposed to have that anyways… though, to be completely fair, considering the Lord’s laws aren’t just supposed to be applied to Christians, no human is supposed to have them anyways… but like with pretty much everything nowadays very few people are even aware of what counts as a sin a lot of times, and those that are aware of what counts as a sin, may not even care. And plastic surgery, that’s a grey zone. In the sense of reconstructive surgery because of an injury, that’s one thing, but in a sense of all those “enhancements”, that’s where the problem about changing your body comes in to play. Now I admit, I need to do some more research on this stuff myself for my own reasons, and even nowadays, from what I’ve gathered, most Christians are not aware of the full extent of it in general. But it is very case sensitive. Like in the sense of reconstructive surgery, or just surgery in general, that depends on a multitude of variables that I am not aware of enough to know what could cause it to go in one direction or the other. So, with that circumstance, it could just as easily be a sin as it could be not a sin. I am not one to answer that about that. And that whole thing about “God made you perfect the way you are”, it should be stated that it should not be taken as literally as so many people take it as. I am not one to give the proper translation of it, as I myself am still studying to try to learn what that actually means. But I can tell you that the first line in this entire comment section thing, whatever you wanna call it. The one made by @wiggle143. I mean their first line of their comment. That is, indeed the thought process many Christians have, and I can definitely state that many take it to the wrong extent. I don’t know what the right extent is, but I do know the extent that most take it to is not it. Therefore, I do have to say that if you, @wiggle143, were trying to make the point that that statement has a lot of flawed logic in it, you’re right. Even as a Christian, I can state that. Let me give a bit more explanation here. That first line is correct. But for a different reason. For example, there are certain ways you can actually change your body and change yourself that aren’t a sin. Such examples are, haircuts, and generalized self-improvement to achieve virtues. But even among that, it can get confusing of what counts as a sin and why. As there are exceptions to the rules, but I don’t know what the exceptions are. If anyone is actually interested in having some resources so they can actually get the right information themselves, I have some myself that I don’t mind giving you, but for the most part, I can’t answer questions directly much more outside of what I just gave. If you do have any questions about what I just said, feel free to ask. Just be aware, I might not be able to answer them directly, and I may instead have to refer you to another source. I have been a Christian for years, but I’ve only recently come across the sources that I need to start making sense of some confusing teachings I have been taught. To such a degree I’ve actually found out that even among Christians, a lot of Christian teachings have been distorted over the years. To such a degree that a lot of the comments and negative opinions about Christians, even if the person making a comment doesn’t realize it, they aren’t even talking about true Christians, they’re talking about false or deceived Christians. Because a lot of these opinions about what a Christian is, is based upon people witnessing people who are claiming to be Christians, but not behaving as such. To such a degree that the people who are claiming to be Christians are not even being aware that they’re in the wrong. One massive example is this. People think Christians are going to shove their religion down the throats of anyone around them if they don’t believe. That’s the common belief that a lot of atheists in the world have about Christians. But the truth of the matter is, yes, there are people out there who claim to be Christians and then try to shove the Christian religion down the throat of any non-Christians, however, that goes against the Christian law itself. True Christians are not supposed to do that. In fact, forcing someone to become a Christian is a sin itself. And so many Christians don’t even know the truth of what the Bible says. Taking parts that are supposed to be metaphorical as literal and parts that are supposed to be literal as metaphorical. Resulting in a whole boatload of miscommunications, misinterpretations, and massive issues resulting in the world not knowing what actually counts as Christianity and what doesn’t. A lot of what the world thinks is Christianity is actually not Christianity, as well as the opposite being the case too. Which, while on the subject, I wanna clarify something before this gets misinterpreted. I am saying this not to change anyone’s minds, but rather to inform about the truth of Christianity. All the stuff regarding Christians being hateful to people who are gay or transgender or whatever, that is a sin in its own right. Yes, it is true that Christians believe that being transgender or gay is a sin, however, it’s worse for a Christian to be hateful to a person doing this then it is for the actual person who is doing the stuff. And it’s not just this sin, it’s any. If a Christian sees someone doing a sin, telling someone that they are sinning is one thing, but turning hateful because that person disagrees, is worse than the person doing the sin originally. That actually falls into the category of evil for evil. Making the Christian who is doing the correction/corrections the worst one of the two. As they say, two wrongs don’t make a right. Now I don’t know if it’s right or wrong for a Christian to tell someone that they’re in the wrong and they’re sinning. From what I have gathered, it’s a case sensitive thing. But like I said, if a Christian does tell someone that they’re sinning, and a person who is doing the sin continues doing it, the Christian should not react hatefully towards them, but rather, they should be loving, kind, and respectful to the person. One example, following the whole concept of Christians being labeled as hateful towards people who are gay and transgender, let’s say there’s someone who is Christian, and someone who is gay, and the Christian tells the person that’s gay that it’s a sin, and then the person who is gay, in some degree or another tells the Christian that they don’t care, the Christian should not continue to press the matter, nor should they be hateful about it, what they should do at that point, is drop the subject, plain and simple, and if they are truly concerned about the person, they should pray, not continue the conversation, nor be hateful to the person because they disagree with the Christian point of view. Now I want to reiterate, I myself am not stating this for the purpose of starting any form of argument, any form of fussing, any form of hate, or any form of complaint. I am merely stating this for the purpose of stating the true Christian beliefs and what Christians should do, not what they do do. In other words, for people who are gay or transgender, they, a lot of times don’t have hate towards Christians, what they are getting upset about is how most Christians react to them, and they just want the hate to stop. Well, we Christians do too, but for a different reason. We want the hate to stop because those taking part in it are not true Christians, and because of how they’re acting, it is distorting the truth about what a Christian is, resulting in Christians being looked at as horrible monsters. Now that all said, I really hope that no one reads this and completely gets the wrong translation of what I’m saying. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, please, ask me to clarify. My goal is not to cause any form of strife, my only goal here is to inform people of the truth of Christianity. So please don’t misconstrue my words to translate to anything outside of that.
@@HeroFanNo.1 wow… that was a really long and in depth explanation. I would like to respond by saying: thank you, and, I am also Christian. And Catholic.
0:17 @OneTopic I know I'm 6 months late and you probably won't see this, but that "welcome home" made me tear up a bit.. I haven't felt at home where I am for a long time, but you make me feel safe and seen even though the people around me don't. I can never thank you enough for that. It's nice to always have a 'family' I know I can go to for support, laughter and love. Thank you OT for making this channel, and thanks to OT's community for making it a place so full of acceptance and light. Best roomates ever♡
Oh all the time for me. Cis-woman, have been for almost 19 years now, but even when I had long hair and wore more feminine clothes I would get people giving me "The Look" and making off handed comments to my coworkers of things such as "don't ruin yourself like IT is doing!" while flapping a hand in my direction It just got worse after I shaved my head to the point people thought it was okay to put their hands on me while in a restroom just to ask me if I was a man or a woman then proceed to call me "sir" and tell me to leave the bathroom even though I said woman. (I wonder what her reaction would've been if I said man though....)
people used to bully me like that in school i had hair to my hips, wore only skirts and had a very feminine body shape but still people would call me slurs, accuse me of having uh male parts & then try to touch me (while still spreading rumors that i was lesbian because i was very close with my afab best friend- like pick a story) funny enough now that I'm slowly coming to terms that i might be trans all i can think about is "even looking like that they saw me as a boy???"
I was gonna say I was jealous, but honestly people should be allowed to just exist without having people questioning them and who they are. Why do we place so much importance on knowing what gender someone was socialized as or if by looking slightly different from us they're a spy from the "other side" even if they're cis? I'm the type that wonders about people's genders too and I'm trying to be better about that because people shouldn't have to defend themselves with words or looks when looking at their character is what we should do
@jjaajoyjoyartist7275 I've been trying to stop seeing people as genders when I'm in public because I really hate it when people do that to me. I'm nonbinary so it's easier for me than other people but it's still taking a long time. I agree with judging people on character. I don't want people to look at me and only see my assigned gender/sex, I want them to see me for who I am and gender not be equated to whether or not im worth their time
I already replied to your other comment but I wanted people to know that some of their favorite subreddits (including most of the LGBTQ+ ones) are locking down indefinitely until Reddit responds. This means you might not be able to share memes or watch videos about the content of the subs anymore.
As a guy with rather long hair working in retail, people often call me young woman/girl or something similar and its funny to see their reaction when I start to speak. But I sometimes do wonder if im maybe trans.
"Accidently spent all my life making sure everyone around me feels comfortable, only to realize I never felt comfortable the whole time." Ouch... that really hits home.
I'm a trans woman and a system. I've been having a hard time grappling with our situation, so when I first saw Brooke's post, the inclusion of "system siblings" made me tear up. Hearing OT read it brought back all those emotions. Thanks OT, it means a lot to us :') 💜
@@StormscapeX I think they mean their "siblings" in being trans, that in the same times are systems! (Have DID/OSDD). I hope I've got that right. Happy pride
I thought I am a trans male ( I was assigned girl at birth , never quite liked it ) but I always felt uncomfortable when I thought of myself as a man, now I found out about being nonbinary or gender neutral and I can finally experience inner peace 😊
As a trans woman I do not feel safe using public restrooms unless I have a cis female friend with me as a witness to protect me and get help if its needed. I just wanna use the facilities and I have to wonder if today is the day I get accosted again, or if I may even get assaulted.
I'm a nb guy (he/them) but im not passing well. So I really dont often go to Men Bathrooms because i'm kinda scared, but... One day someone told me to go out because i was in the wrong one. Apparently i was passing enough to not be going in women's, but not enough to go in men's. Now that i have a disabled card, i use disabled bathrooms. They are not gendered... But damn this whole thing is so stupid. Extremely stupid. I wish we could be safe anywhere. Take care sis 💜❤️
As a trans man whose been confronted at work, I know the feeling. When my voice started to drop, and a little facial hair started up recently, I decided to bite the bullet. Even have the excuse that I use a stall because I don't want urine on my uniform ready to go in case anyone gets nasty. It's sad that we have to think about and do this, but someday, we will all be safe. Lots of love from Australia :)
@@bastion6421 Don't worry, I had the same questions when I learnt trans women could be lesbians, so yes, that's right. I identify as a man, and only have Sn interest in men. Therefore I'm trans and gay.
The one about the TSA body scanner really does suck. Before you go through they have to click either male or female, and if it sees something that does not 'match' it flags it as suspicious items.
Non-binary here, and the bathroom thing always kills me. Sometimes, I present as male, sometimes as woman. I am wrong for using the gender neutral bathroom, of course. I have social anxiety, and no matter how feminine i feel or present, i still end up going to the men's room and equally so when i am presenting as male. But i can't win. No matter which bathroom i go in, i get shit from somebody or get side eyed.
@@chubbyanimalenthusiast70 This is a Valid way, but could get you reported. What I do is if someone flares at me, I don’t blink. If they’re staring at me, I stare them back directly in the eyes, not even breaking eye contact by blinking. After then I doubt they will glare at someone again
In a similar situation (I'm genderfluidflux). I'm mainly androgynous, so strangers tend to get confused and question about my assigned sex/gender. Depending on the situation, this could either give me great amounts of euphoria or could leave me being glared at and concerned about my safety. And it hasn't only happened when using public bathrooms. This even happened at my town's mental health clinic. The ladies at the desk were just checking with me about using my preferred name (I have multiple nicknames I go by, but mainly prefer Floren or Cori) and a guy behind me (sitting in one of the chairs) was glaring at me as if I was a vile creature. I immediately walked out of the clinic and went home (this happened after my appointment ended just fyi). I informed what happened in my next appointment and was informed to report whenever this happens (as no client/patient should feel unsafe when seeking treatment).
I really don't understand the bathroom police. I mean, everybody is in their own stall. Why does it matter who sit next to you, in an other stall, with a wall between you?
I’m falling asleep but that Karen in the video literally said she’d been called out for being in the men’s room before, so she admitted to doing what she assumed some random person was doing AND she did so with the full insinuation that she went into the men’s room to do something wrong. Otherwise she wouldn’t be upset about a possible trans person using the bathroom.
The person filming could have totally flipped things around and told security the woman admitted to going into the mens bathroom and showed the video as evidence. She might not have gone into THEIR mens bathroom but she'd have a lot talking to do and whether security wants take it further or not, that'd be hella embarrassing for the Karen.
Yep, there's a term for this behavior, it's called 'projection'. It refers to when person A assumes that person B wants to do X sinister thing, with the exclusive basis of reasoning being that person A wants to do X sinister thing. If you keep an eye out for it, you may notice that projection is involved in _nearly all_ conservative rhetoric and hate speech.
@@EckertainmentShe would probably turn it back around to say she was conducting some social experiment and was "simulating a trans person walking into a wrong bathroom" something something, to idk, check if security would notice. That is if she had any wits which I doubt she has, lol.
Thank you, OT... on this channel I learned so many things, confronted and questioned myself about my identity(ies) and sex*al orientation. My parents raised me in respect for everyone, and this channel helped me understand the LGBTQ+ community... And I might be now part of it... ❤
My eldest son is trans and I was SO proud and happy that he felt safe and trusting enough of me to come out to me at the start of his journey so that I had the chance to watch him thrive and come to his true self. It makes me happy that channels like this exist that provide love and support to LGBTQ+. My biggest wish is that one day ALL trans people will have joyous transitions and the support they deserve. I'm proud of you all for taking the steps toward making yourselves happy in your own skin in spite of adversity. You are worth it and you DESERVE it. Be well
Thank you for being a supportive parent ❤ I'm a trans man myself and my parents were thankfully accepting, but I do have a good handful of friends who wouldn't/didn't have parents that would accept them when/if they came out. I just hope people would learn more about the LGBTQ+ community so they wouldn't be scared, and therefore hateful towards them.
@El transitioning is part of processing dysphoria. if being trans is a mental illness, transition is by all means the treatment. and there's lots of ways to transition without changing your body, also
"Nobody would have anything to transition from, if you didn't apply something to them, that they don't identify with" This is honestly one of the best things i have ever heard! Human experience (including gender) is such an individual and infinitely diverse thing And language is just an inaccurate description of it that we have to use to more easily communicate about those experiences
couldn't agree with you more. i feel like everything that ive seen the trans community have to go through as a result of arbitrary rules that were invented. is a perfect example of how just because something is the "norm" or the "average" doesnt mean its correct or accurate. it just means that potentially loads of people all believed the same incorrect or inaccurate information. but its hardly anything new that us humans are resistant to admitting that we might have been wrong about something, especially when there is information so readily available and eager to tell you that "no no its everyone else who is wrong, you were right all along" and for anyone who took the time to read this.
Im honestly glad that i got a free 1 month trial for yt premium so that i can watch these videos without being yelled at from the ads saying that im not nonbonary makes me so f**kin happy love your content also we reached over 100k for The Trevor Project and it warms my heart.
I've had a really hard time lately with surviving as a trans guy, school's over so I don't have the same safe spaces and my super amazing and affirming choir teacher is moving, and now I'm stuck with my parents who still misgender me after being out almost a year, and being in a musical with a director who misgenders me even though I've been out the whole time she's known me. It's been really discouraging and I feel a little like I'm drowning, so thank you OT and everyone here for the wholesome content, it's helped me feel a bit better. :)
I'm so sorry that all of that happens to you! I hope you can find new safe spaces with people who respect you and your identity. I'm glad that OT and the community has helped you feel a bit better. I hope you can get whatever you need to help yourself through your transition and be the person you want to be, you deserve it. Also, I'd just like to also say that you're awesome!!
I know it might be a dumb question, but have tried confronting them? Sometimes people are more receptive than we think. If not, then you might want to consider minimising contact with those people where possible, until they can accept you. They are being so incredibly disrespectful to you, and you don't deserve that. Or maybe you should just start misgendering them. See how they like it. Also, please take my comment with a grain of salt. I don't have any personal experience.
@@MartinFinnerup It sounds like he still lives with them and depends on them for survival. A lot of kids wait till they move out to make big reveals so that they don't risk losing that safety net. 😅❤
@@MartinFinnerup I talked to my director yesterday (after she misgendered me again) and I doubt she'll get better but at least I gave her a reminder. I can't do much about my parents rn but fortunately my siblings are getting better at gendering me correctly. :)
The welcome home at the beginning was wonderful. Thank you. I left my abusive household almost seven years ago after coming out as a trans man. Up until recently I didn't even have a home of my own, I lived in shelters and group homes. Last month I finally got my own apartment, and today I hear "welcome home." Yes. Thank you.
Ngl he had me with that line as well, though it took me 2-3yrs to come out as trans after leaving (ahem, literally thrown out at 17) the abusive household I lived in and still can't get a job, been around the same amount of time as well since then but I've had a place for a few years. It's such a relief getting a roof over your head and I'm hoping that's the start of a much better new life ^^'. Now excuse me while I leave to go hug my squishy pillow because I decided to watch this at midnight and sometimes OT's vids really know how to make people feel things ^^'
@@greatestape960 no, not really, they don't actually prevent anything, in fact American restrooms are super insecure, countries with majority gender neutral bathrooms that are generally more secure have less issues with bathroom assaults than the us (that's without pointing out that generally if someone intends to assault you, the bathroom is the last place it's going down generally, the rare cases where it happens in a bathroom tends to be the rare instance where the particular wash room is rarely used in general, because predators in all forms quite literally NEED their victim alone in order to have any control or advantage over the situation, public bathrooms are an awful place for victimization because of the constant coming and going of people)
"Transitioning didn't solve all my problems, transitioning made my problems worth solving" - Beautifully worded - exactly how I feel. Too bad my mental health is only important to my parents to do with regular everyday things like hygiene, being outside, or with friends - because the only reason I feel like taking care of myself and being vulnerable with my friends is because I accepted myself as trans - I spent a little over two years denying myself that acceptance, and only now have I reached a little over two years of accepting myself as a woman, too bad my life journey doesn't matter to them - so their acceptance and fankly toxic love doesn't mean anything to me. Soon I'll be in university being myself - something that gives me anxious-yet-excited jitters just thinking about - and r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns was my starting point - will miss it, and really hope another safe space for lil' eggs opens up soon (hopefully one that has a balance of transfem rep and transmasc and nonbinary rep)
I only found you through the Iilluminaughtii drama, but I'm so glad I did. Everyone I saw said you're just a kind wholesome guy, and I think that checks out. It's so refreshing to find a creator that can just be kind and accepting to LGBT people without having to have a hot take on us. I'm so tired of people treating us like a political topic. I just want some peace and vibes.
Yeah no, him gettin accused of shite by her was like Mr Rogers gettin accused of shite. It just doesnt happen the way alleged. Still ofc check into the allegations to debunk them, but at no pt was it at all believable that OT wudve done the things alleged (or the click for that matter); tho i dont know the other creators well enuf to say the same, id sus as much Just hearin what she tried to pull on Wonderstruck and all the harm she caused him, even from her own POV, is damning evidence enuf tho
@@SylviaRustyFae I've kept up enough to know that her receipts don't hold up against what everyone else has. And OT pretty much confirmed a lot of the stuff the other 3 said. OT tries to be fair so if he's outright saying "Hey, this is wrong", Blairs not going to get far.
As a trans fellow, I can say that having someone to accompany you when you're transitioning makes you feel better and not lonely, my bud was always there for me and is so supportive they were the first ones to call me by my name, while I may not have supportive parents as I'd like, I am not alone and neither is anyone ❤️
My little sister was the first one to ask me what I'd like to be called, someone I had a very complicated relationship with when I was young is now the person I love the most in the world and I wish more trans people were as lucky as I was.
@@erikasakura7721 i wish i had a supportive sister like this, but my conservative parents are brainwashing her with christianity and radical right ideology. my dad constantly watches republican news networks in the house for all of us to hear. she's NINE YEARS OLD and they're already trying to mould her to their perfect image.
@@duckified. I hope she breaks out of it, children not always turn out like their parents even if they were raised by them. And brainwashing children into their own beliefs that discriminate other people is the reason why every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child.
@@duckified. I don't see what's wrong with that, your dad's just watching what he believes in, also its more of the LGBTQ brainwashing kids, by giving them attention by being trans, and we all know how much kids love attention
Happy Pride Month everyone, this is my first Pride Month since realizing I’m trans and it’s so nice seeing what everyone’s doing for it and so many people celebrating and it makes me truly realize that I’m not alone in this.
When you said "Welcome home.", for just a moment, it quitened all the unrest of having spent my life moving states every three years and then settling in one city, and I felt like I was home. You have made this community such a place that even someone like me, who has never really felt like they had a home, could feel content and unanxious in knowing that we are welcome here - even if we have nowhere else.
I sometimes forget how validating it can be to just watch videos like this, and talking about being trans people being real and valid. Thank you so much for this.
I had no idea the subreddit was getting taken down, and that's extremely sad. I never really had the courage to talk there or attempt to join it as a community, but I'll forever be grateful for how instrumental it was to me starting to finally accept myself. It will be deeply missed
I grew up as a transphobe because of my parents but after awhile I stopped caring, fast forward to more recently and I discovered your channel and it helped me realize I am trans and really always have been just always telling myself I just wanted to be more girly because it was "funny" to me, I didn't realize that I was smiling because it felt euphoric when I'd dress as a girl in my grandma's old closet in her basement
Same, although I'm still figuring out my gender identity. Lil Nas X coming out as gay is what changed everything because I didn't like the LGBTQ+ and Lil Nas X at the time was my favorite artist, so I became an ally and eventually found out that I like the same sex, lmao.
I am but a stranger on the internet, but I am so proud of you. Because of my upbringing and the information available to me at the time, I also took a long time to realize I am trans. Good luck and best wishes purple icon.
I grew up a transphobe mostly because of a mix of childhood trauma and the way trans people were always depicted in the media at the time. I was convinced that men were pretending to be women just to force other men to have sex with them against their will. It's only very recently I've come to realize that most trans women aren't trying to force anyone to do anything, they're just trying to live their lives. The media really does seem to cherry pick the worst examples to represent the community which gives an unrealistic view of what trans people are actually like. And in fact they're still doing it but at least now I'm aware of it and there's more positive representation in the media now.
6:37 as a Brazilian trans man, this video makes me incredibly happy :) i'm at the start of medically transitioning, but i'm in a small town so there have been some delays, but seeing another trans man in Brazil being loved and supported is so wonderful!
The "welcome home" at the beginning caught me off guard, and not going to lie, I teared up a little. I love you and your content, OT, and it's heartwarming to see everyone in your streams and comment sections are just as accepting and loving towards trans people like me as you are. Thank you for being you
There's an entire section of this subreddit that implemented OT summoning noises and was sharing the ways you've helped them figure themselves out, or cracked their egg, or just given them a supportive place of comfort within this community. And while I personally was already aware of my queer identities before I found you, you have definitely given me a source of comfort and a place I can be completely myself without fearing judgement for it. So thank you OT for all the help you've given to the trans and queer community from the bottom of my heart
21:30 honestly as a biology fanatic I’m always happy to learn more and more about biology and I’m really happy to have learned this from an actual biologist cameo. Thank you OT, for helping me feel more like myself and helping me learn about my own and others gender idenities One Topic at a time

Two of my kids are trans, including my recently-out daughter (19.) Now that her healthcare journey is finally beginning, she's showing interest/excitement about the future, for the first time in a long time. Why am I saying this as a reply to your comment? When she's ready to go back to school, *she wants to study biology!* Oh, and her oldest sibling is enby. 🙏❤🏳⚧
@@missnaomi613 Congratulations! I wish your girl the best of luck and have lots of fun at school. Biology is fun, and personally studying it helped me see the world in a different way. With less prejudice and greater acceptance that all organisms are different and have the same right to live.
Go back a few videos (it's the serious one, you'll know which it is) and you'll get to see OT slowly, slowly adding googly eyes to it. (also to the floor, given the amount of times some fell off when he added more, so OT probably also has a biblically accurate floor tile, too!)
"Will you press the button, You Will become an Anime Girl BUT Youd be Lesbian"... MAN IM ALREADY ATTRACTED TO WOMEN NO MATTER WHAT... BOY OR GIRL... SO THATS A WIN WIN FOR ME >:D
"Cis people do not understand how hard or for how long many trans people try to not be trans before reaching acceptance." 100% true! I tried to be cis for 36 years. I got married and had kids. I did everything "a woman is supposed to do". I've known who i was since i was a small child. And i didn't even know what trans was until i was 16. And even though I finally had a word to describe how i was feeling. I still oppressed who i was. I'm finally free to be me. And I've never been happier. Thank you OT for creating a space for us to feel at home with family. Words cant describe how mush your love and acceptance means to us. ❤️
Oh yeah, I relate! I'm a mostly straight trans man and I spent years pretending to be a cis straight girl and woman, and it's so hard. You really don't feel you have any other options. I had fake unserious boyfriends I had no real interest in. I can't even imagine how dead inside I'd feel if I had forced myself to be a "wife". I've always wanted a wife and wanted to be a husband. But I could never see anyone taking that seriously.
I see people all the time online asking why trans people "can't just be happy the way they are", but never listening when we tell them how much happier and mentally healthier we are now that we've accepted that piece of ourselves and transitioned. I tried to be a cis man for 20 years, but not even femboy was feminine enough, I was a woman and nothing short of being female was going to solve my dysphoria. Simple as.
True im ftm and before i accepted it myself i went super hyper feminine trying to just be comfortable with myself. Anyways the other day i put on one of these oufits cause i was questioning myself and when i saw myself in the mirror i just had the most affirmibg this isnt me feeling anyways i feel this in my soul
@@paulonunes7584 you do what's best for you. But I'm not gonna waste another second of my life trying to believe in your imaginary friend. I'm to old to still believe in imaginary people like "god" and "santa claus" or "the easter bunny".

I've only recently been identifying as trans-femme and am the only trans person in my family and this channel has really been a comfort to me and reminds I have a community I can got to. Really grateful for the content
i was unlucky enough to repress my dysphoria so much as a kid that late into my teenagehood, it all hit me in a gender identity crisis. my family would have been supportive, i would have transitioned so smoothly, but i denied myself that, insisting it must have been something else. and now im stuck in a job and a state that wont let me be and just counting the days til i can get out.... i regret all that obviously and honestly, i would have gone a very different route given the chance. to anyone who might be reading this, if the thought crosses your mind, its probably because its real. your not faking it, your not stupid, trust me.
Your story hits home, except it took me much much longer. The information and language to describe my experiences were not as readily available when I was growing up, so I was convinced my dysphoria could only be depression and nothing more. I did not come out until I was older than pretty much every trans content creator you could name. My family would have been supportive, but I just didn't know what it was.
Cis woman here, but I've run into some IRL trans and homophobia lately. God damn it's exhausting to deal with. Also it was always directed at gay and trans MEN. As a queer woman I'm mad about the phobia BUT ALSO that they don't see me as a threat lol
The “Welcome home ☺️” at the beginning! Your channel is a safe home for many beardos and weirdos who aren’t accepted by family and/or friends. It means a lot to us, thank you! Glad to be a fellow roommate! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
Something that we studied in biology a few days ago, was that gender and sex were different things, and that there aren't only two sexes! I think i learned a lot, and was also really cool that the teacher taught us about it:)
Clown fishes should be trans Icons. Swarms of this fish are lead by a female. If the female dies and there isnt another female to fill the Spot, a random male fish physically transitions to a female physiology. Nature is f*Cking lit.
My brother is trans and he always struggled with his identity since he was 6 and struggled with depression for a long while until we figured out what was going on. My parents weren't very aware of mental health, but eventually they got him a therapist specializing in gender identity when he was 17. It took him another year to finally come out as trans and now he's on hormone treatment and we are so happy for him! The only thing he hates about the hormones is the acne that's coming with it lol
I've been having a really hard time lately and OT has always been my comfort UA-camr, so hearing him open the video with "welcome home" made me almost break down in tears, thank you OT ❤
The one where the person got misgendered at work hit hard. I’m not even transgender and I am constantly called “sir” and my teachers in school used to say “Mister (Last name) I don’t even look like a boy. I am a cis woman… it could be because of my features and for some reason people see indigenous features as masculine. :/
Don’t have many people to share this with so I’ll do it here: I’m getting too surgery next week! I’m so excited. I finally get to look like me. I can’t believe it’s happening. Plus! Just before that, I get to join my first ever pride parade! To anyone reading this, you got this. And if no one else will support you, just scroll down. Because we’ve got you ❤
I love that bathroom cop Karen literally said, “I get called out for being in the men’s restroom”. If you have a problem with this, WHY WERE YOU IN THE MEN’S RESTROOM?? That being said, de-gender bathrooms, just let people poop in peace
Yooo dude congrats!!! I started testosterone a month and a half ago, and let me tell you, it has been the best choice of my life ever :D you've got this!!
I think watching this channel has helped me understand a lot of my friends a bit more, now keep in mind I won't fully understand how being trans feels because I have never had, any sort of dysphoria, but just learning how these things work makes me even more happy that my friends have found and can be themselves without fear. You go everyone just keep being who you are and you'll find yourself.
Karen: "What's your identity?"
Person in stall: "I'm a person trying to shit in piece."

Trans self-harm/ideation rates are a harassment issue.
@virginiavallek1654 Blatantly false. If you were to look at any credible studies relating to what you're talking about, you'd see a decrease.
fun fact: in stardew valley, choosing a female character is LITERALLY a speedrun strat since your mother would give you 500 gold, meanwhile the males just get cookies
It's also a speedrun strat in Pokémon Heartgold and SoulSilver because the catching tutorial is longer if Lyra explain it to you instead of Ethan.
Good thing I'm not a speedrunner then 😌
Also a speedrun strat in one of the Dark Souls game I think because the female character model is a bit faster for some complicated reason
and Lumine in Genshin Impact is slightly stronger than Aether
life isnt a video game, choosing a female character is literally the speedrun to get beaten up 35 to 20 years later

No, they will claim to be trans, and maybe they won’t attack you, just go into the women’s restroom and look at women, however after pointing out this flaw in your logic I seem to be called transphobic…
Remember, that these fucking pedos exist, and they will use your system to their advantage, so maybe we should do away with the whole “trans bathroom” thing

@@yellow_smierdziel ok, allow me to explain it like this.

Gotta love the actual scientist saying, "This isn't new science we made up. You're just so stupid you forgot that you failed your science classes in high school."
The scientist missed one important aspect; there IS a biological component to gender, but it's not the one people think. The social construct angle starts to fall apart on hard analysis, because, as he said, that's sociology. Meanwhile, nearly every trans person tested in one experiment was found to have a brainwave pattern more similar to the average of the opposite sex than their own sex. This tendency was found in trans people whether they had begun HRT or not. While the differences between the brains of the sexes aren't nearly as pronounced as some infographics might indicate, they are present; trans people, whether by deep scan or autopsy, have been found to have a brain structure consistent with the opposite sex.
And the sexed hormones have a profoundly negative effect on the wrong brain structure, backed up by experiments where cisgendered volunteers underwent basic HRT for a short period of time and experienced the horror of dysphoria without fail.
He did nail a few of the causes like mosaic sex chromosomes and hormone washes (this one's still theory. Basically if you get a reduced rate of T between 10 weeks, when the brain starts forming, and the end of the second trimester, when the brain's tendencies are finalized, you have a higher chance of having a feminine brain structure. It's unknown whether this is the mother under/overdelivering or the fetus failing to signal correctly (which may be genetic). This also affects your digit ratio and can potentially affect your sexuality even if it doesn't affect your gender), but he missed chimerization (when a twin absorbs the other twin's fetus and the final result is a combination of their traits)
I guess no one really wants to bring up the wrong brain argument, either because they aren't aware of it, or they're afraid of a potential eugenics scenario. But more than any other argument it has the most validity; I've watched transphobes (we need a better name, it's not fear for the most part) reverse their opinion almost entirely when confronted with the proof
@@ChibiKamiyou can call the transphobes bigots. Kind of like a homophobe is a bigot. And a xenophobe is a bigot. It’s all some kind of bigotry that they got indoctrinated with instead of empathy and science.
very cool. Thanks for sharing @ChibiKami. I never knew that even though I'm a trans dude.
@@juliankirby9880 Yeah! Like, I've met some people who are actually agitated by or fearful of romantic same-sex contact, and many of them have no problem with the existence of homosexuality. These so-called "homophobes" aren't even true homophobes most of the time, in fact a significant fraction of them might be gay or bi.
although it is possible, I do not assume that the bigots are closeted and self hating. I assume they were indoctrinated into a "hate your neighbor" socially conservative ideology. you know, the hateful hierarchy enforcement "nobody can be different Anti American" way @@TheReaverOfDarkness

I remember years ago a cis woman was arrested for trying to use the women’s restroom all because she didn’t have an ID and because she was dressed a little boyish.
She was a biological woman, trying to use the women’s bathroom.
Ah yes, cause they “always know” yet arrest the cis women and don’t actually recognize the trans women
Much wow
"dressed a little boyish" we really have regressed as a society 🤦♂ what, do women have to be dressed in full-length skirts and a full face of makeup with their hair long and loose for the idiot TERFs to recognize them as women now?
(remembers how TERFs have inadvertently defined womanhood in severely sexist and objectifying ways) ...actually that might be exactly it
This is why I always say transphobia hurts all women. This Trans Derangement Syndrome always end up hurting cis women too who aren't conventionally attractive.
In the same way, when the Olympic comitee put regulations on testosterone in woman's sports, some cis athletes were forbidden to compete ^^'

It's because they're conditioned to think trans people are just crossdressers like drag queens.

They’re using the facilities as intended and in a hygienic manner. Find actual problematic issues to spend your time and energy on.
Also that whole "I don't care what you do in your bedroom, don't do it here" is weird because ma'am, I'm not doing anything I would do in my bedroom, *I just have to pee or poop*.

@@xd._.28234 Factsss
That lady in the bathroom in the video reminded me of that one time I (a BARELY passing transman that doesn't even really look like a dude, but still kinda is androgynous) was in the ladies bathroom at a Costco cause I still don't even feel close to being able to use the mens, and some middle aged lady came up and started knocking on my bathroom stall asking if I was "confused" (not in a nice way) and waited for me to come out before getting all up in my face and saying that there were little children in this bathroom and that if I wanted to "experiment" I needed to do it with "kids my age" and saying all kinds of weird shit, and threatened to call the police. Worth noting that I am a CLEARLY autistic individual, and was wearing headphones, and had a Keychain with my pronouns (they/them at the time) and the fact that I have autism and adhd, along with SEVERE social anxiety displayed clearly on a lanyard around my neck. so now she was yelling at me and basically calling me a p e d 0p h-il3, I was crying, hyperventilating, and there were people starting to crowd around, and a few of them were siding with her. One lady even called her husband in, claiming that I was trying to t0uch their daughter. He came in, and he looked fucking LIVID. So now there were people recording while some full grown man who looked like he spent three hours a day at the gym absolutely BLEW UP at me, telling me that he was gonna kick my ass, blah blah blah, while I stood there crying and shaking, trying to apologize and explain to him that I wasn't there to do anything to anyone. But then FINALLY..I hear someone shout at them to get away from me. I'm still crying, but through the panic attack I was having, I could distinguish that they were there to help me, so I went with them. As it turns out, it was an INCREDIBLY sweet girl who was probably around 20-25 years old who got me away from the bathroom and helped me find my parents. (Side note, after I told my dad what had happened, he stormed off towards the bathroom with a look on his face like he was ready to k1ll. We didn't see him again until after we were done shopping, when he met us out front with a bl00dy nose and bruised knuckles, and just joined us without saying anything.)
So yah, long story short, I will NEVER be using a public washroom ever again 🥲
Sweet Girl and Dad for the win. 😊
My biology teacher once said: "There are two sexes, but far more genders, and you can identify as whatever you want. Even if others don't support you, I will." She told us her daughter was trans and she'd gotten a lot of hate and discrimination for it.
I love your biology teacher.
I mean, technically she’s wrong bcuz intersex people exist but Yk it is what it is

I, for one, fully accept Link as an ambassador of all areas of the LBGTQ+ community.
No time for gender or anything like that when you have rocks to eat.
As a person who has never played any zelda games, i too accept Link as an ambassador for the LGBTQ+ community
@iwillslapyou
I genuinely forgot that he actually ate rocks in age of calamity. 🤣
He is easily a trans and bi icon. Plus, he is hot enough to make me question myself. Funny thing is that I’m playing the game right now.
So does Aonuma
He himself has said Link is to be as relatable to the player as possible, or at least in terms of gender
My desire to be a girl started when I was about 8 years old, with no influence from "trans propaganda". Only realized I'm trans at the age of 21, then over a year of constantly thinking I'm faking it or don't deserve to be a girl, and now, at the age of 22, I can fully accept myself. I did not suffer for that long for some transphobe to tell me it's a fetish or a delusion!
Thank you OT, for being a true ally.
I'm so happy to know you have come to accept yourself! Seems like a lot of people know it early on. I know it can't be easy to come to terms with all this-- For me it's my sexuality that started out when I was around 7. I'm a cis woman and always wished I would be allowed to like girls, and got sad when I thought I could only like girls if I were a boy (which doesn't align with me). Years of self hatred and now I'm out and cannot be happier.
I have my birth story memorized since I was very young because I was sure my mum wasn't telling me something. I kept thinking that one day, she'd slip up and admit that the birthing doctor snipped the wrong thing. Tried to give myself a haircut in kindergarten. (My mum thinks this prompted the invention of layered bangs 🙄 ) Finally got all the hair chopped off when I was 17. Explored masc-ness through fanfic for the next whatever years. (Realized that I don't want to marry all my favorite male characters; I wanted to BE them.) Finally started living as myself a few years ago. I'm 41 now.
@@maskedmallard537 Congrats for taking the steps to be yourself!! Also I know this isn't the point but it surprises me that people in their 30s and 40s read fanfic, hehe.

I first heard the term Transgender when I was 13. I thought it was me immediately. I tried telling my parents but it didn’t go well. The only way to “fix” things was to “take it all back.” Over the course of 5 years I thought I was just being silly or that I was something else. Now I can happily say I’m Trans. One of my mates came up to me and said “you know how you said you thought you were trans then you weren’t 5 years ago? Yeah, I didn’t believe that for a second.”
Hi so, i’m 14 and my parents(especially my mom♥️) always supported me and taught me respect. My mom, last year, showed me a short film about LGBTQ+ community and the harassment they can live. She told me “If you ever want to come out, I’ll support you”. And I was so happy, and relieved that she would understand.
Slowly, I’m experiencing gender dysphoria (i’m AFAB, but have really masculine looks, since i cut my hair) such as, feeling wrong in my body, when i look at my body becoming curvier and my b00bs growing. It just feels out of place, like they don’t belong there...
But i still identify as a girl.
I guess i’m kinda trans? Can you help me?
The confrontation in the bathroom has really upset me. Its just awful that people are harassed and interrogated like this. Most of the anti-trans ive seen in the UK has been hiding online.
Me too, it was awful to watch
People are so shitty sometimes
It made me feel sick, especially as a masc-leaning afab enby who still uses the women's room, mainly because I'm very small, and feel safer with that option than the men's room. Of course, the memes where the trans masc guy gets called "ma'am" hit me way too hard too. People, I can change just about everything, but I can't grow over 5' at my age!
In most countries it's illegal or against buildings policies to harass people in bathrooms. Probably why you don't see it very often.
It disgusted me so much I had to skip most of it, like just let people poop wtf?
I'm a trans guy. No one in my family aside from my best friend and cousin in one (also trans!) supports me (constant deadnaming and misgendering,"Don't tell people or you'll embarass us and yourself" etc). Your vids help me get through dysphoria spikes,OT. So thank you for making them. You seem like such an absolutely sweet person ❤
I'm sorry your home life is so difficult, but I'm glad you have these two supporting you and having your back! I wish you the endurance to get trough that and there will be others (also irl, not only us anonymous poeple on the internet) who stand in your corner. But until then, we're here!
Always remember who you are, no one can tell you who you are or aren’t, no one has that right at all. You are a guy and that’s that if they can’t accept that and hurt you in this manner you can find a way to emancipate yourself if you are under the age of 18, so you can go no contact. ❤ there are sources out there that can help you, what you’re experiencing is abuse and it’s not ok. You have every right to be who you are, to be loved and accepted. You are not an embarrassment, you are not a burden, you should never be sorry for being yourself. Being yourself is the only choice you ever made, and if more people were brave enough to do what you’re doing the world would be so much brighter. ❤ if you need a chest binder point of pride . Org gives free chest binders for trans people who need them but don’t have access or can’t afford it, stay strong, you will get through this I promise ❤️
So glad that your cousin and best friend accept you as you are, even if the rest of your family doesn't. Stay strong dude.

Hey I don't know you at all but I will fight your entire family if neer be.
I was in the same situation as you back when I was a teen living with my mom and she didn't accept me - I thought I'd have to figure out how to get away from her and cut all ties for things to get better. but then after a few years she actually started listening to me and slowly but surely educated herself and now supports me being trans, something I never thought would actually happen.
I hope your family realizes one day that they should support you too and that they come around, but even if they don't, remember that you're always free to cut off toxic people from your life. it is much more important for you to be happy and be yourself. hang in there friend ❤

why are there so many trans pharmacy techs? one of my IRL trans friends is also a pharmacy tech and I've seen like 3 comments from trans pharmacy techs on this video
“Changing your body is wrong! God made you perfect the way you are!”
“Ok, where’s my foreskin then?”
“Um well um you see…”
God does not exist. Only BIOLOGY
"What about your tattoos" or "What about that plastic surgery you just got" are my favorite responses to those clowns
Yes and heart surgery or any surgery. If God didn't want you to have cancer you wouldn't have it in your body
You know, as a Christian I think I can cover all this. The foreskin removal stuff is circumcision, which is a Christian practice. However, nowadays, it’s usually done without the person’s consent. Due to the fact of being done when the person is born. Also, that’s a massive point of debate among Christians anyways. That’s not because God made someone less perfect or anything. Plus, I’m not sure that’s actually required by God’s law anymore. Back in Bible times it was done as a way of someone saying they’re baptized and going to obey the Lord for the rest of their life, or at least something like that, though, I’m not exactly sure on the specifics, now I have no idea what purpose it serves, neither from a moral perspective or from a Christian perspective. In fact, it might even very well be against the Lord’s laws to such a degree that it’s classified as a sin now. As of the tattoos, that’s actually specifically covered in the Bible and specifically labeled as a sin. So Christians aren’t even supposed to have that anyways… though, to be completely fair, considering the Lord’s laws aren’t just supposed to be applied to Christians, no human is supposed to have them anyways… but like with pretty much everything nowadays very few people are even aware of what counts as a sin a lot of times, and those that are aware of what counts as a sin, may not even care. And plastic surgery, that’s a grey zone. In the sense of reconstructive surgery because of an injury, that’s one thing, but in a sense of all those “enhancements”, that’s where the problem about changing your body comes in to play. Now I admit, I need to do some more research on this stuff myself for my own reasons, and even nowadays, from what I’ve gathered, most Christians are not aware of the full extent of it in general. But it is very case sensitive. Like in the sense of reconstructive surgery, or just surgery in general, that depends on a multitude of variables that I am not aware of enough to know what could cause it to go in one direction or the other. So, with that circumstance, it could just as easily be a sin as it could be not a sin. I am not one to answer that about that. And that whole thing about “God made you perfect the way you are”, it should be stated that it should not be taken as literally as so many people take it as. I am not one to give the proper translation of it, as I myself am still studying to try to learn what that actually means. But I can tell you that the first line in this entire comment section thing, whatever you wanna call it. The one made by @wiggle143. I mean their first line of their comment. That is, indeed the thought process many Christians have, and I can definitely state that many take it to the wrong extent. I don’t know what the right extent is, but I do know the extent that most take it to is not it. Therefore, I do have to say that if you, @wiggle143, were trying to make the point that that statement has a lot of flawed logic in it, you’re right. Even as a Christian, I can state that. Let me give a bit more explanation here. That first line is correct. But for a different reason. For example, there are certain ways you can actually change your body and change yourself that aren’t a sin. Such examples are, haircuts, and generalized self-improvement to achieve virtues. But even among that, it can get confusing of what counts as a sin and why. As there are exceptions to the rules, but I don’t know what the exceptions are. If anyone is actually interested in having some resources so they can actually get the right information themselves, I have some myself that I don’t mind giving you, but for the most part, I can’t answer questions directly much more outside of what I just gave. If you do have any questions about what I just said, feel free to ask. Just be aware, I might not be able to answer them directly, and I may instead have to refer you to another source. I have been a Christian for years, but I’ve only recently come across the sources that I need to start making sense of some confusing teachings I have been taught. To such a degree I’ve actually found out that even among Christians, a lot of Christian teachings have been distorted over the years. To such a degree that a lot of the comments and negative opinions about Christians, even if the person making a comment doesn’t realize it, they aren’t even talking about true Christians, they’re talking about false or deceived Christians. Because a lot of these opinions about what a Christian is, is based upon people witnessing people who are claiming to be Christians, but not behaving as such. To such a degree that the people who are claiming to be Christians are not even being aware that they’re in the wrong. One massive example is this. People think Christians are going to shove their religion down the throats of anyone around them if they don’t believe. That’s the common belief that a lot of atheists in the world have about Christians. But the truth of the matter is, yes, there are people out there who claim to be Christians and then try to shove the Christian religion down the throat of any non-Christians, however, that goes against the Christian law itself. True Christians are not supposed to do that. In fact, forcing someone to become a Christian is a sin itself. And so many Christians don’t even know the truth of what the Bible says. Taking parts that are supposed to be metaphorical as literal and parts that are supposed to be literal as metaphorical. Resulting in a whole boatload of miscommunications, misinterpretations, and massive issues resulting in the world not knowing what actually counts as Christianity and what doesn’t. A lot of what the world thinks is Christianity is actually not Christianity, as well as the opposite being the case too. Which, while on the subject, I wanna clarify something before this gets misinterpreted. I am saying this not to change anyone’s minds, but rather to inform about the truth of Christianity. All the stuff regarding Christians being hateful to people who are gay or transgender or whatever, that is a sin in its own right. Yes, it is true that Christians believe that being transgender or gay is a sin, however, it’s worse for a Christian to be hateful to a person doing this then it is for the actual person who is doing the stuff. And it’s not just this sin, it’s any. If a Christian sees someone doing a sin, telling someone that they are sinning is one thing, but turning hateful because that person disagrees, is worse than the person doing the sin originally. That actually falls into the category of evil for evil. Making the Christian who is doing the correction/corrections the worst one of the two. As they say, two wrongs don’t make a right. Now I don’t know if it’s right or wrong for a Christian to tell someone that they’re in the wrong and they’re sinning. From what I have gathered, it’s a case sensitive thing. But like I said, if a Christian does tell someone that they’re sinning, and a person who is doing the sin continues doing it, the Christian should not react hatefully towards them, but rather, they should be loving, kind, and respectful to the person. One example, following the whole concept of Christians being labeled as hateful towards people who are gay and transgender, let’s say there’s someone who is Christian, and someone who is gay, and the Christian tells the person that’s gay that it’s a sin, and then the person who is gay, in some degree or another tells the Christian that they don’t care, the Christian should not continue to press the matter, nor should they be hateful about it, what they should do at that point, is drop the subject, plain and simple, and if they are truly concerned about the person, they should pray, not continue the conversation, nor be hateful to the person because they disagree with the Christian point of view. Now I want to reiterate, I myself am not stating this for the purpose of starting any form of argument, any form of fussing, any form of hate, or any form of complaint. I am merely stating this for the purpose of stating the true Christian beliefs and what Christians should do, not what they do do. In other words, for people who are gay or transgender, they, a lot of times don’t have hate towards Christians, what they are getting upset about is how most Christians react to them, and they just want the hate to stop. Well, we Christians do too, but for a different reason. We want the hate to stop because those taking part in it are not true Christians, and because of how they’re acting, it is distorting the truth about what a Christian is, resulting in Christians being looked at as horrible monsters. Now that all said, I really hope that no one reads this and completely gets the wrong translation of what I’m saying. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, please, ask me to clarify. My goal is not to cause any form of strife, my only goal here is to inform people of the truth of Christianity. So please don’t misconstrue my words to translate to anything outside of that.

I know I'm 6 months late and you probably won't see this, but that "welcome home" made me tear up a bit.. I haven't felt at home where I am for a long time, but you make me feel safe and seen even though the people around me don't. I can never thank you enough for that.

Best roomates ever♡
I'm a cis woman and people have been misgendering me for years even though I wear "women's clothes" and for years I had long hair.
Oh all the time for me.
Cis-woman, have been for almost 19 years now, but even when I had long hair and wore more feminine clothes I would get people giving me "The Look" and making off handed comments to my coworkers of things such as "don't ruin yourself like IT is doing!" while flapping a hand in my direction
It just got worse after I shaved my head to the point people thought it was okay to put their hands on me while in a restroom just to ask me if I was a man or a woman then proceed to call me "sir" and tell me to leave the bathroom even though I said woman. (I wonder what her reaction would've been if I said man though....)
@MoonlitMeadows that's horrible. No one should have to experience that, trans or not
people used to bully me like that in school
i had hair to my hips, wore only skirts and had a very feminine body shape but still people would call me slurs, accuse me of having uh male parts & then try to touch me (while still spreading rumors that i was lesbian because i was very close with my afab best friend- like pick a story)
funny enough now that I'm slowly coming to terms that i might be trans all i can think about is "even looking like that they saw me as a boy???"
I was gonna say I was jealous, but honestly people should be allowed to just exist without having people questioning them and who they are. Why do we place so much importance on knowing what gender someone was socialized as or if by looking slightly different from us they're a spy from the "other side" even if they're cis? I'm the type that wonders about people's genders too and I'm trying to be better about that because people shouldn't have to defend themselves with words or looks when looking at their character is what we should do
@jjaajoyjoyartist7275 I've been trying to stop seeing people as genders when I'm in public because I really hate it when people do that to me. I'm nonbinary so it's easier for me than other people but it's still taking a long time. I agree with judging people on character. I don't want people to look at me and only see my assigned gender/sex, I want them to see me for who I am and gender not be equated to whether or not im worth their time
It’s a shame Reddit is killing itself right now 😢
I heard (on r/historymemes) that it is only 72 hours.
You mean it's a shame u/spez is killing Reddit rn
If only u/spez was fired
I already replied to your other comment but I wanted people to know that some of their favorite subreddits (including most of the LGBTQ+ ones) are locking down indefinitely until Reddit responds. This means you might not be able to share memes or watch videos about the content of the subs anymore.
It’s necessary though.
Edit: I mean the blackouting LMAO
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly...
He got the trans people's bacc
As a guy with rather long hair working in retail, people often call me young woman/girl or something similar and its funny to see their reaction when I start to speak. But I sometimes do wonder if im maybe trans.
"Accidently spent all my life making sure everyone around me feels comfortable, only to realize I never felt comfortable the whole time." Ouch... that really hits home.

I'm a trans woman and a system. I've been having a hard time grappling with our situation, so when I first saw Brooke's post, the inclusion of "system siblings" made me tear up. Hearing OT read it brought back all those emotions. Thanks OT, it means a lot to us :') 💜
Sorry for the ignorance, what is 'system siblings?' I hope this doesn't across as rude
@@StormscapeX I think they mean their "siblings" in being trans, that in the same times are systems! (Have DID/OSDD). I hope I've got that right. Happy pride
@@antoninaforyt6928 Oh, I see now!! Thank you so much
bruh
I didn't quite understand what was meant by "system siblings" until I saw your comment. Glad to have ya'll with us. 💖
I thought I am a trans male ( I was assigned girl at birth , never quite liked it ) but I always felt uncomfortable when I thought of myself as a man, now I found out about being nonbinary or gender neutral and I can finally experience inner peace 😊
As a trans woman I do not feel safe using public restrooms unless I have a cis female friend with me as a witness to protect me and get help if its needed. I just wanna use the facilities and I have to wonder if today is the day I get accosted again, or if I may even get assaulted.
I'm a nb guy (he/them) but im not passing well. So I really dont often go to Men Bathrooms because i'm kinda scared, but... One day someone told me to go out because i was in the wrong one. Apparently i was passing enough to not be going in women's, but not enough to go in men's.
Now that i have a disabled card, i use disabled bathrooms. They are not gendered... But damn this whole thing is so stupid. Extremely stupid.
I wish we could be safe anywhere.
Take care sis 💜❤️
As a trans man whose been confronted at work, I know the feeling. When my voice started to drop, and a little facial hair started up recently, I decided to bite the bullet. Even have the excuse that I use a stall because I don't want urine on my uniform ready to go in case anyone gets nasty. It's sad that we have to think about and do this, but someday, we will all be safe. Lots of love from Australia :)
I dont know why, but I have this qwestion. So you are a woman yeah. If you fall in love with a guy, are you technicaly straight?
@@bastion6421 yes because they're a women. sexuality is with gender, not sex /pos /lh
@@bastion6421 Don't worry, I had the same questions when I learnt trans women could be lesbians, so yes, that's right. I identify as a man, and only have Sn interest in men. Therefore I'm trans and gay.

Also that rando: *sees my long haired son in stereotypical "boys" clothes* "aw shes so cute!"

The one about the TSA body scanner really does suck. Before you go through they have to click either male or female, and if it sees something that does not 'match' it flags it as suspicious items.
Every time I've been through one, they scanned me twice and had to do a patdown. It's not my fault I'm too cool for their defaults!
@@forksarefree The wrong way: "I am trans" The right way: "My true form is incompatible with your meager technology."
DETAINED
Non-binary here, and the bathroom thing always kills me. Sometimes, I present as male, sometimes as woman. I am wrong for using the gender neutral bathroom, of course. I have social anxiety, and no matter how feminine i feel or present, i still end up going to the men's room and equally so when i am presenting as male. But i can't win. No matter which bathroom i go in, i get shit from somebody or get side eyed.
I recommend looking as shady as possible with your hands in your pocket so people think if they walk to to you they’re gonna get shanked😊
@@chubbyanimalenthusiast70 This is a Valid way, but could get you reported. What I do is if someone flares at me, I don’t blink. If they’re staring at me, I stare them back directly in the eyes, not even breaking eye contact by blinking. After then I doubt they will glare at someone again
I wish I could just give you a hug
In a similar situation (I'm genderfluidflux). I'm mainly androgynous, so strangers tend to get confused and question about my assigned sex/gender. Depending on the situation, this could either give me great amounts of euphoria or could leave me being glared at and concerned about my safety.
And it hasn't only happened when using public bathrooms. This even happened at my town's mental health clinic. The ladies at the desk were just checking with me about using my preferred name (I have multiple nicknames I go by, but mainly prefer Floren or Cori) and a guy behind me (sitting in one of the chairs) was glaring at me as if I was a vile creature. I immediately walked out of the clinic and went home (this happened after my appointment ended just fyi). I informed what happened in my next appointment and was informed to report whenever this happens (as no client/patient should feel unsafe when seeking treatment).
I really don't understand the bathroom police. I mean, everybody is in their own stall. Why does it matter who sit next to you, in an other stall, with a wall between you?
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU NO MATTER GENDER SEXUALITY OR RACE! HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!! Also hi OT!!

I’m falling asleep but that Karen in the video literally said she’d been called out for being in the men’s room before, so she admitted to doing what she assumed some random person was doing AND she did so with the full insinuation that she went into the men’s room to do something wrong. Otherwise she wouldn’t be upset about a possible trans person using the bathroom.
Once again, we have a conservative accidentally confessing in their own accusation.
The person filming could have totally flipped things around and told security the woman admitted to going into the mens bathroom and showed the video as evidence. She might not have gone into THEIR mens bathroom but she'd have a lot talking to do and whether security wants take it further or not, that'd be hella embarrassing for the Karen.
@@EckertainmentI would pay money to see that happen!!!
Yep, there's a term for this behavior, it's called 'projection'. It refers to when person A assumes that person B wants to do X sinister thing, with the exclusive basis of reasoning being that person A wants to do X sinister thing. If you keep an eye out for it, you may notice that projection is involved in _nearly all_ conservative rhetoric and hate speech.
@@EckertainmentShe would probably turn it back around to say she was conducting some social experiment and was "simulating a trans person walking into a wrong bathroom" something something, to idk, check if security would notice. That is if she had any wits which I doubt she has, lol.
Thank you, OT... on this channel I learned so many things, confronted and questioned myself about my identity(ies) and sex*al orientation. My parents raised me in respect for everyone, and this channel helped me understand the LGBTQ+ community... And I might be now part of it... ❤
My eldest son is trans and I was SO proud and happy that he felt safe and trusting enough of me to come out to me at the start of his journey so that I had the chance to watch him thrive and come to his true self. It makes me happy that channels like this exist that provide love and support to LGBTQ+. My biggest wish is that one day ALL trans people will have joyous transitions and the support they deserve. I'm proud of you all for taking the steps toward making yourselves happy in your own skin in spite of adversity. You are worth it and you DESERVE it. Be well
Don't understand why people can't see the possibilities for joy even though it's true we often do suffer.
@@phoebegee54 Well, I know that I see the possibilities for joy. I just hope that everyone gets the chance to find it.
@El what is bro even saying
Thank you for being a supportive parent ❤ I'm a trans man myself and my parents were thankfully accepting, but I do have a good handful of friends who wouldn't/didn't have parents that would accept them when/if they came out. I just hope people would learn more about the LGBTQ+ community so they wouldn't be scared, and therefore hateful towards them.
@El transitioning is part of processing dysphoria. if being trans is a mental illness, transition is by all means the treatment. and there's lots of ways to transition without changing your body, also
"Nobody would have anything to transition from, if you didn't apply something to them, that they don't identify with"
This is honestly one of the best things i have ever heard!
Human experience (including gender) is such an individual and infinitely diverse thing
And language is just an inaccurate description of it that we have to use to more easily communicate about those experiences
couldn't agree with you more. i feel like everything that ive seen the trans community have to go through as a result of arbitrary rules that were invented. is a perfect example of how just because something is the "norm" or the "average" doesnt mean its correct or accurate. it just means that potentially loads of people all believed the same incorrect or inaccurate information.
but its hardly anything new that us humans are resistant to admitting that we might have been wrong about something, especially when there is information so readily available and eager to tell you that "no no its everyone else who is wrong, you were right all along"
and for anyone who took the time to read this.
That's actually my response whenever someone tried the "It's basic biology".
Me : "Have you tried ADVANCED biology ?"
Im honestly glad that i got a free 1 month trial for yt premium so that i can watch these videos without being yelled at from the ads saying that im not nonbonary makes me so f**kin happy love your content also we reached over 100k for The Trevor Project and it warms my heart.
I've had a really hard time lately with surviving as a trans guy, school's over so I don't have the same safe spaces and my super amazing and affirming choir teacher is moving, and now I'm stuck with my parents who still misgender me after being out almost a year, and being in a musical with a director who misgenders me even though I've been out the whole time she's known me. It's been really discouraging and I feel a little like I'm drowning, so thank you OT and everyone here for the wholesome content, it's helped me feel a bit better. :)
I'm so sorry that all of that happens to you! I hope you can find new safe spaces with people who respect you and your identity. I'm glad that OT and the community has helped you feel a bit better. I hope you can get whatever you need to help yourself through your transition and be the person you want to be, you deserve it. Also, I'd just like to also say that you're awesome!!
I know it might be a dumb question, but have tried confronting them?
Sometimes people are more receptive than we think. If not, then you might want to consider minimising contact with those people where possible, until they can accept you.
They are being so incredibly disrespectful to you, and you don't deserve that.
Or maybe you should just start misgendering them. See how they like it.
Also, please take my comment with a grain of salt. I don't have any personal experience.
@@MartinFinnerup It sounds like he still lives with them and depends on them for survival. A lot of kids wait till they move out to make big reveals so that they don't risk losing that safety net. 😅❤
@@MartinFinnerup I talked to my director yesterday (after she misgendered me again) and I doubt she'll get better but at least I gave her a reminder. I can't do much about my parents rn but fortunately my siblings are getting better at gendering me correctly. :)
Correct them with an airhorn.
The welcome home at the beginning was wonderful. Thank you. I left my abusive household almost seven years ago after coming out as a trans man. Up until recently I didn't even have a home of my own, I lived in shelters and group homes. Last month I finally got my own apartment, and today I hear "welcome home."
Yes. Thank you.
CONGRATULATIONS! On defying everything against you, and making it today to, and congratulations on making your own home.
@@alchemysaga3745 thank u ahhhh ur so kind

Ngl he had me with that line as well, though it took me 2-3yrs to come out as trans after leaving (ahem, literally thrown out at 17) the abusive household I lived in and still can't get a job, been around the same amount of time as well since then but I've had a place for a few years. It's such a relief getting a roof over your head and I'm hoping that's the start of a much better new life ^^'. Now excuse me while I leave to go hug my squishy pillow because I decided to watch this at midnight and sometimes OT's vids really know how to make people feel things ^^'

@@Mr.Tw1sty to be fair there’s a male and female rest room for a reason
@@greatestape960 no, not really, they don't actually prevent anything, in fact American restrooms are super insecure, countries with majority gender neutral bathrooms that are generally more secure have less issues with bathroom assaults than the us (that's without pointing out that generally if someone intends to assault you, the bathroom is the last place it's going down generally, the rare cases where it happens in a bathroom tends to be the rare instance where the particular wash room is rarely used in general, because predators in all forms quite literally NEED their victim alone in order to have any control or advantage over the situation, public bathrooms are an awful place for victimization because of the constant coming and going of people)
Arm the trans. The black panthers may be gone but the pink panthers can grow
"Transitioning didn't solve all my problems, transitioning made my problems worth solving" - Beautifully worded - exactly how I feel. Too bad my mental health is only important to my parents to do with regular everyday things like hygiene, being outside, or with friends - because the only reason I feel like taking care of myself and being vulnerable with my friends is because I accepted myself as trans - I spent a little over two years denying myself that acceptance, and only now have I reached a little over two years of accepting myself as a woman, too bad my life journey doesn't matter to them - so their acceptance and fankly toxic love doesn't mean anything to me. Soon I'll be in university being myself - something that gives me anxious-yet-excited jitters just thinking about - and r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns was my starting point - will miss it, and really hope another safe space for lil' eggs opens up soon (hopefully one that has a balance of transfem rep and transmasc and nonbinary rep)

That restroom woman truly has a Backpfeifengesicht.
As a trans fellow, I can say that having someone to accompany you when you're transitioning makes you feel better and not lonely, my bud was always there for me and is so supportive they were the first ones to call me by my name, while I may not have supportive parents as I'd like, I am not alone and neither is anyone ❤️
My little sister was the first one to ask me what I'd like to be called, someone I had a very complicated relationship with when I was young is now the person I love the most in the world and I wish more trans people were as lucky as I was.

When you said "Welcome home.", for just a moment, it quitened all the unrest of having spent my life moving states every three years and then settling in one city, and I felt like I was home. You have made this community such a place that even someone like me, who has never really felt like they had a home, could feel content and unanxious in knowing that we are welcome here - even if we have nowhere else.
I sometimes forget how validating it can be to just watch videos like this, and talking about being trans people being real and valid. Thank you so much for this.
I had no idea the subreddit was getting taken down, and that's extremely sad. I never really had the courage to talk there or attempt to join it as a community, but I'll forever be grateful for how instrumental it was to me starting to finally accept myself. It will be deeply missed
I grew up as a transphobe because of my parents but after awhile I stopped caring, fast forward to more recently and I discovered your channel and it helped me realize I am trans and really always have been just always telling myself I just wanted to be more girly because it was "funny" to me, I didn't realize that I was smiling because it felt euphoric when I'd dress as a girl in my grandma's old closet in her basement
Same, although I'm still figuring out my gender identity. Lil Nas X coming out as gay is what changed everything because I didn't like the LGBTQ+ and Lil Nas X at the time was my favorite artist, so I became an ally and eventually found out that I like the same sex, lmao.

I am but a stranger on the internet, but I am so proud of you. Because of my upbringing and the information available to me at the time, I also took a long time to realize I am trans. Good luck and best wishes purple icon.
I grew up a transphobe mostly because of a mix of childhood trauma and the way trans people were always depicted in the media at the time. I was convinced that men were pretending to be women just to force other men to have sex with them against their will. It's only very recently I've come to realize that most trans women aren't trying to force anyone to do anything, they're just trying to live their lives. The media really does seem to cherry pick the worst examples to represent the community which gives an unrealistic view of what trans people are actually like. And in fact they're still doing it but at least now I'm aware of it and there's more positive representation in the media now.

I love you and your content, OT, and it's heartwarming to see everyone in your streams and comment sections are just as accepting and loving towards trans people like me as you are. Thank you for being you
There's an entire section of this subreddit that implemented OT summoning noises and was sharing the ways you've helped them figure themselves out, or cracked their egg, or just given them a supportive place of comfort within this community. And while I personally was already aware of my queer identities before I found you, you have definitely given me a source of comfort and a place I can be completely myself without fearing judgement for it. So thank you OT for all the help you've given to the trans and queer community from the bottom of my heart

Go back a few videos (it's the serious one, you'll know which it is) and you'll get to see OT slowly, slowly adding googly eyes to it. (also to the floor, given the amount of times some fell off when he added more, so OT probably also has a biblically accurate floor tile, too!)

"Cis people do not understand how hard or for how long many trans people try to not be trans before reaching acceptance."
100% true! I tried to be cis for 36 years. I got married and had kids. I did everything "a woman is supposed to do". I've known who i was since i was a small child. And i didn't even know what trans was until i was 16. And even though I finally had a word to describe how i was feeling. I still oppressed who i was. I'm finally free to be me. And I've never been happier. Thank you OT for creating a space for us to feel at home with family. Words cant describe how mush your love and acceptance means to us. ❤️
As someone who just started T while speeding toward 50, I feel you. Forward, friend, Forward. 💙
Oh yeah, I relate! I'm a mostly straight trans man and I spent years pretending to be a cis straight girl and woman, and it's so hard. You really don't feel you have any other options. I had fake unserious boyfriends I had no real interest in. I can't even imagine how dead inside I'd feel if I had forced myself to be a "wife". I've always wanted a wife and wanted to be a husband. But I could never see anyone taking that seriously.
I see people all the time online asking why trans people "can't just be happy the way they are", but never listening when we tell them how much happier and mentally healthier we are now that we've accepted that piece of ourselves and transitioned. I tried to be a cis man for 20 years, but not even femboy was feminine enough, I was a woman and nothing short of being female was going to solve my dysphoria. Simple as.
True im ftm and before i accepted it myself i went super hyper feminine trying to just be comfortable with myself.

Im so touched that the last comic even mentioned systems as well. I did not expect that but it made my day :) (was hard to resist crying though)
i was unlucky enough to repress my dysphoria so much as a kid that late into my teenagehood, it all hit me in a gender identity crisis. my family would have been supportive, i would have transitioned so smoothly, but i denied myself that, insisting it must have been something else. and now im stuck in a job and a state that wont let me be and just counting the days til i can get out.... i regret all that obviously and honestly, i would have gone a very different route given the chance. to anyone who might be reading this, if the thought crosses your mind, its probably because its real. your not faking it, your not stupid, trust me.
🤗 Just remember this for yourself... it's NEVER too late. Stay strong.
Your story hits home, except it took me much much longer. The information and language to describe my experiences were not as readily available when I was growing up, so I was convinced my dysphoria could only be depression and nothing more. I did not come out until I was older than pretty much every trans content creator you could name. My family would have been supportive, but I just didn't know what it was.
For the second part
The thought of being trans? Or what?
@@bobspew6636 in this case yes but it goes for just about anything

Clown fishes should be trans Icons. Swarms of this fish are lead by a female. If the female dies and there isnt another female to fill the Spot, a random male fish physically transitions to a female physiology. Nature is f*Cking lit.
Brainwashed and groomed!
As a trans guy that hasn't come out yet this type of videos make me so happy. This channel is a huge safe space for a lot folks so keep it up OT!
My brother is trans and he always struggled with his identity since he was 6 and struggled with depression for a long while until we figured out what was going on. My parents weren't very aware of mental health, but eventually they got him a therapist specializing in gender identity when he was 17. It took him another year to finally come out as trans and now he's on hormone treatment and we are so happy for him! The only thing he hates about the hormones is the acne that's coming with it lol
I'm so happy for him for this amazing journey and such great family ❤️
Fellow transmasc says congrats! 🎉❤
I've been having a really hard time lately and OT has always been my comfort UA-camr, so hearing him open the video with "welcome home" made me almost break down in tears, thank you OT ❤
Therapist: Biblically accurate microphones don't exist, they can't hurt you.
OT's microphone:
The one where the person got misgendered at work hit hard. I’m not even transgender and I am constantly called “sir” and my teachers in school used to say “Mister (Last name) I don’t even look like a boy. I am a cis woman… it could be because of my features and for some reason people see indigenous features as masculine. :/
As a cis-man with long hair and a tenor voice, I feel your pain. I've gotten "ma'am"ed quite a bit.
Slay queen
This is more common for POC to be misgendered. Especially cis women.
I'm a trans teen and I love what you've done for the Trevor project, it brightens my day in these dark times. Thank you Ot, thank you ❤
this is quite unrelated but trans teens backwards is sneet snart
Yay im happy it makes you happy ^^
@@Comfortabledoug611 ahahhahahahahahaha
I started watching you in the summer of 2023, you helped me realize I was trans. Thank you so much, you are the best cis man on this damn earth.
Don’t have many people to share this with so I’ll do it here: I’m getting too surgery next week! I’m so excited. I finally get to look like me. I can’t believe it’s happening. Plus! Just before that, I get to join my first ever pride parade!
To anyone reading this, you got this. And if no one else will support you, just scroll down. Because we’ve got you ❤
That is so exciting!! I'm so happy for you!
Hell yeahh!
That's amazing!!! I'm so excited for you and I hope everything goes well!!! Sending you lots of love 💓💓💓
Woohoo! I'm on my third week of HRT! And although I'm not in a parade, I'll be going to my first Pride this year!
Congratulations 🎉
Can we talk about the amount of googly eyes there are on his mic? It's hilarious thanks as always OT for a supportive video!
I love that bathroom cop Karen literally said, “I get called out for being in the men’s restroom”. If you have a problem with this, WHY WERE YOU IN THE MEN’S RESTROOM??
That being said, de-gender bathrooms, just let people poop in peace
Agreed, remove the idea that they are in anyway to do with gender and make it clear that they are purely sex-segregated spaces. Good idea.
Your profile pic is questionable
That woman in the bathroom legit made me so anxious. Like ma'am.
OT may not be pregnant, but he always delivers 🤭🤭😫
lmao
This is the comment officer.

No 💀
What a wholesome comment about mpreg
Yessss! A pro trans video to celebrate literally JUST NOW taking my first dose of testosterone!

Woohoo, congrats ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Holy shit bro, congrats!
Congrats! I'm over a year in and it helps in ways I didn't even expect or realise, it's slow going but I hope it brings all the comfort and joy x
I love this mans personality.
Would I be his friend and literally make the worst jokes with him?
Yes.
*presses button immediatley
I think watching this channel has helped me understand a lot of my friends a bit more, now keep in mind I won't fully understand how being trans feels because I have never had, any sort of dysphoria, but just learning how these things work makes me even more happy that my friends have found and can be themselves without fear. You go everyone just keep being who you are and you'll find yourself.
