As an asexual, the compulsive need to steal kneecaps is an unfortunate side effect of not having sexual attraction. It causes great problems in our life. The lack of storage space and assult charges being two of many. We're able to ignore it for most people we meet. However, when someone annoys us, usually aphobes or just really unlucky tourists, the need becomes overwhelming and we have no choice but to give in. It's a hard existence, but I hope this helps you understand.
I can relate to this struggle. To me it's not just aphobes' knees, it's all shiny ones. You know how hard I've had it when Jamie here has such nice and shiny kneecaps? I've had to physically restrain myself to a rocking chair so as to not buy a plane ticket to the UK😭
I once got into an argument in college with a girl who was saying bisexuality was too confusing so bi people should identify based on their current relationship. Like, I'm a woman married to a man therefore I should identify as straight. I could not get her to explain to me 1)how someone 'changing' their sexuality presentation every time they get a new partner was less confusing, 2)what about single bisexuals, and 3)how this system was supposed to work with poly. When I have more female partners am I as lesbian who makes an exception for certain guys? How confusing is it that gender isn't a strong factor in my attraction? I also don't date people based on hair color, height, or blood type. How is that not confusing but the moment you don't care about gender everyone is so confused? I mean, they are right that bisexuals are confused but we're not confused about our sexuality. We're confused by this kind of bs.
LMAO as a bisexual if anyone said that to me I would straight-up walk away lol, imagine being so entitled you think minorities should *change how they identify* just because *you* don't understand it (somehow)
@@lizzie31 It truly is a sign of privilege when you think your own ignorance and lack of empathy undermines a person's identity. I feel like at least half of biphobia is people saying we don't exist in some way.
As an asexual I am only allowed to say that stealing kneecaps is a very legal operation that has absolutely nothing to do with world domination. We apologize for the inconveniences, it is for the greater good
@@Jane-oz7pp don't interact with Werewolf, this is their 7th burner account, they're just here to spam comments and harass people, they aren't an ally, they're a transphobe.
With a system as large as ours, you’d think there’d be more than one emotional support straight. But no, there’s only Ro. And he is… your typical middle child.
I was doing the dishes whilst listening to your lovely stories. However, because I didn't have the visual prompt, I missed the colon in: "Homophobes: Why can't you be normal?" Alternatively, I heard it as: "Homophobes, why can't you be normal?" And I thought, 'That's true. Why can't homophobes be normal?' A question for the ages.
BECAUSE homophobes have been forced to hate people and deprive them of their self rights by depriving other people's rights . It is literally what Nelson Mandel said in his book " the opressor and opressed are both deprived of their humanity ... the opressor must also be freed for them are often in mental cages of their own ." ( maybe the wording is a little off I haven't read it in a while . So yes , Homophobes often feel or inflict other fact of discrimination and as the opressed also becomes free we will free the opressor . Sorry if I sounded too agressive or had any spelling errors , I have not slept all night .
I repeatedly told myself I was going to come out before I graduated college. Then I told myself I'd do it when I left for med school. As it turned out, what happened was that when the Pandemic started, I got so tired of lying and stir-crazy that I started dropping increasingly obvious "allyship" hints until my mother cornered me on it four months before I left for med school. Sometimes, you come out. Sometimes, you're forced out. Sometimes, you spend so long obsessing over it that you trip over your own feet and stumble out like a jackass.
I have the urge to out myself by singing very queer songs very loudly so I have to tell myself to shut up in front of parents so yeah.. stumbling out might just happen.
This was me, but in a failed attempt at being casual about it. Turns out people can have a hard time grasping genderfluidity when it should be as simple as "I can be this or that, or all of these! I'll tell you what i am if it's important."
@The Werewolf of Somalia Ikr? Every time i think of being genderfluid, i think of a delicious milk tea that looks like a galaxy. It cheers me up sometimes when i'm down!
@@Gott.Streitet Wouldn't you like to know? 😈 Hate to upend your revisionist historian viewpoint, but they were indeed legally married. They took on the world together through thick and thin until death did they part. I frankly couldn't imagine a better example of the perfect spouses being there for each other. I am proud to have them as my grandparents, blood ties or otherwise.
@@sarahjo9975 your Grandmother had committed multiple crimes. Adultery, Exploitation of a Man, and praising these things. Did you at least know who the Father is? Because of the Heterosex that created you.
@@sarahjo9975 the funny thing is i don't know Gays even existed until i was 15 years old, and i didn't know that LBTQ existed until i heard about it at the age of 17 when i meet a introverted girl who said she was also "Bisexual" And of all the persons i ever met only one was gay, or maybe not, because he was still a man.
@@Gott.Streitet My biological grandfather was the one who "committed adultery" (as you say), was abusive, and committed "crimes". That's why they got divorced. Much after that, my grandma met her wife and was able to find true love. She was always bisexual, even if she had children in a previous relationship. So my statement stands that I do thank a bisexual person for my existence. I hope you continue to learn about more types of people in the world. Maybe you can realize that just because they're different from what you've previously known doesn't mean they can't be uplifting and wonderful. When you are able to accept the good in people despite their differences, you will find much more inner peace and tranquility where there would otherwise be needless anger and resentment. Best wishes.
As an asexual, I can confirm that kneecaps are our favourite things to steal. They make little jangly noises when we put them on your keychains and that's just neat
This sounds very terry-pratchetty ahaha. And, as an ace, I do confirm this is exactly what we do and it has absolutely nothing to do with world domination *wink wink*
5:39 a good trans joke a trans friend told me once that isn't transphobic: "what's the most painful part of transitioning from male to female? getting your salary cut in half"
I managed to write a non-transphobic trans joke based on personal experience; "What happens when you go down on someone, and they don't know they're trans yet? You get egg on your face."
I learned recently that coming out is not an event, it’s a process. Reveal yourself in safe spaces. No cis-het person should take it as an opportunity to make them feel better about themselves.
I've heard people say they never stop coming out. Every time they meet new people, start a new job, ever single time, they have to make decisions about who to tell and how and when.

As an Asexual: we steal kneecaps so nobody can stop us from world domi- I mean the homophobes can’t walk to protests with anti-gay signs! **nervous sweating** yEah!
as an asexual: there is definitely no connection between us stealing kneecaps and us crafting ourselves thrones from that stash of kneecaps we casually have for the day when we finally fullfil the ace agenda that is definitely not world domination
Could you guys go into some of the comments where there are these 3 transphobes running around and steal their kneecaps? I'm trying to help our trans brothers, sisters, and others, but there's only one of me, and I'm gay so I don't steal kneecaps.
Wait … there are _queer bookshops still in existence in NYC?_ I thought the last one closed in the 2010s. Yes, I'm serious. The West Village and Chelsea are nowhere near as gay as they were during the 1990s. It's really, really sad.
When I was 5, I remember looking at these two women (I think they were kissing) and being like “WOW I can be with my best friend!” (Who was a girl) And I remember feeling so intelligent like I had just discovered something lol

Ironically the trans pride dinosaur meme featured the only dinosaur that we actually kind of know what its genitals looked like, because a year or so back there was a publication describing the cloaca of an exceptionally well-preserved Psittacosaurus (the genus name of the dinosaur on the flag). The dinosaur they chose has come closer to telling us what was in its pants than literally any other dinosaur. But then on the flip side a. Technically this is a different species, it looks like the dinosaur on the flag is Psittacosaurus sibiricus and the specimen with its cloaca described is not (it wasn't assigned a species at the time, I think it might be assigned to P. mongoliensis now? Idk), and b. Archosaurs (crocodiles, birds, nonavian dinosaurs and their relatives) keep their reproductive bits inside the cloaca unless they, er, intend to use them, if they have identifying bits at all (crocodilians do, most birds don't, and dinosaurs probably did but we don't really know), so we still don't know if that particular Psittacosaurus is male or female because its internal structures weren't so visibly preserved aside from its skeleton, so it arguably still works. This has been a paleontology nerd overthinking a silly dinosaur flavored meme about trans rights.
I had a bunch of family come down last weekend who are all homophobic including my father that I live with. I am pansexual. It makes it so hard when you can’t tell your family your own truth because you’re scared to be kicked out on the streets and abandoned. Watching your videos gives me hope and helps validate my feelings. Thank you for all of the wonderful information you give to the world that it’s okay to be gay. 🌎 🌈 ❤️
@@sage-the-silly-0.0 thanks love. I appreciate the support. I was trying to build up the courage to come out to my dad so I have told some other family members in the past. Some were there this last weekend that knew. Thankfully they kept my secret. Unfortunately, even with knowing that I am pan they joined in on the homophobic jokes. Even when people could see I was obviously uncomfortable they continued. It makes it hard to ignore, but knowing that I’m not alone in the world really helps. So I appreciate your supportive comment. It helps me find hope in a future where I’m not stuck in the closet because of my hateful family
Hi ! Sending love to you ❤️ you got this. If you want to come out I would advice you to be fully autonomous and independent especially financially. Have a nice day !
I, an asexual biromantic trans guy, keeps getting called a lesbian at my school because I have a girlfriend, who is straight. We keep joking about that, like: "Hey, *name* how is it being a lesbian?" or "Is being a lesbian the best thing ever?" No offence to any lesbians, of course. However, its hilarious whenever people are talking about us because me (very openly queer) and my girlfriend (physically disabled and therefore everyone seems to know her) are not by any means lesbians.
I’m a lesbian ace and trust me this isn’t offensive it’s really funny. And I can relate to people knowing who you are cause you’re physically disabled I’m starting school again soon and I’m hoping to have a cane or crutches by then. (I have chronic pain)
The asexual person I know would probably tell us that that kneecap-thing is none of our business. In a very stern voice that tells us: "Ask again, and lose your kneecaps, too"
As an asexual person, I can confirm that the kneecap stealing is classified information and if it is ever leaked we will be forced to retaliate by stealing more kneecaps
Nah we can tell that if we steal everyone's kneecaps then no one can stop us from world domi- I mean yeah just helping the community queerphobes of any kind don't deserve kneecaps
@@dustygania2425 well yes and no male pattern hair loss is caused by testosterone but only when it's unbalanced AKA you just producing too much of it it'll cause hair loss there's a reason why if you see somebody who's bald don't be surprised if they're actively overly aggressive not always people develop and they can figure out hey I'm a little too angry for no reason such as what testosterone do to the human brain you can think your way through it but some people can't so yeah bald people can be extra aggressive
Okay I'm legally obligated to inform you that that dinosaur at 7:04 is called Psittacosaurus! Literally meaning "parrot lizard" It's an early ancestor of Triceratops and one of the most well studied dinosaurs.

I realized I am a transgender guy recently since I have finally stopped being in denial. I have been for as long as I remember. Even when I was around 4 I would always think to myself “I wish I was a guy.” Very confusing for a child. Then around the age of 10 I learned what being transgender was and I thought to myself “No, there is no way this is right. While this does seem accurate to how I always felt, what would people around me say?” This led to some panic for a little while. Then I tried to find a gender neutral identity even though I knew it wasn’t right. I even came out to my friends. Perhaps the feeling I felt then was guilt. Lying to myself and those who I can trust. I even came out to my parents while my mother didn’t support me at all and started criticizing the LGBTQ+ community, and my father said he would always love me, but he knew that how I was trying to identify wasn’t correct. He even said to me once when my mother wasn’t home, “If you ever find out you are transgender, just don’t tell your grandma.” He’s probably known all along. Of course now I have a preferred name and preferred pronouns which I can’t tell ANYONE about because my dumbass mother specifically told me “Stop going by that name. You’re name is (name) and your pronouns are she/her.” I do apologize for the rant but I can’t talk to anyone about this. Even the person I trust most. Only a few more years to go before I can be who I have always wanted to be. :)
I loved reading your story :)! Sorry your mom’s a dumbass. I’m also in denial so yeah... I get that it can be hard. Sending love and support from a fellow queer!!!
Keith, you are loved and you are valid. Your mom sounds like she’s in denial (and like she’s a phobe of everything that she doesn’t like). I’m sorry your mom is doing this to you. I’m really glad that you have your father though. Please don’t apologize for speaking about things that are close to you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💜 I second BaCUl's statement: You already _are_ who you are, and nobody's ignorance, confusion, or fear can take that away from you. What they're doing is withholding the acceptance and common kindness that would allow you not to have to play word games while you're forced to be dependent upon them. You're stronger than you know, and you'll make it to your personal independence day. Much love!
Don't worry, you just missed the convo abt stealing kneecaps and how we're going to invade denma- yk what? just come to the next meeting. We'll fill you in.
Oh goodness, I’m sorry, we should have told you! You didn’t get that memo? We steal kneecaps. It’s part of the Denmark/world domination thing. Nobody can stop us if they don’t have kneecaps, yea? Haha, anyways, I’ll have you sent an extra dragon to help you catch up.
As someone who a sibling of a wild asexual, I can confirm she keeps stealing my kneecaps. I understand completely that she steals them to survive, however it is mildy inconvenient.
Hey, just a video idea, could you do something about aromantics. We kinda get forgotten often, and you’re one of my favorite lgbtq+ creators so it’d be awesome. Anyway, wonderful video as always💚🤍🖤
As an asexual person with EDS, who's most hypermobile area is her knees, I definitely do not want to even see kneecaps let alone steal them.

as an aroace i have a colection of different peoples kneecaps its a really fun activity you should try it also the llama should be named veronica after my trans sister
I have to collect kneecaps or people will figure out that I'm bedind people disappearing from existence. It's not my fault that people have said I don't exist enough that it has empowered me to make people disappear. (Although it doesn't seem to work on kneecaps, hence why I collect them, I have to make a sheild so my power no longer works as it is out of my controll.
In all seriousness the kneecaps thing is a common (at this point, considered overused, I think) meme - it’s supposed to be a weird quirky threat that I think originated on tumblr, “I’m gonna steal your kneecaps” So it was basically just a different way of phrasing that threat, specifically threatening aphobes It’s a little hard to do asexual memes that aren’t just “better than sex amiright?” and “garlic bread and cake are OURS” (which is really just an offshoot of “better than sex”), and the better than sex thing can feel a bit exclusionary for aces who do enjoy sex and have with their partners. That’s why the person probably shot for the quirky random humour instead. More recently there has been the meme about world domination/taking over Denmark, because someone made a post saying that there are more asexuals than there are people in Denmark’s military? So that’s been adopted as something to meme about that doesn’t exclude aces with high libidos or who aren’t sex repulsed
@Dorito: No just more aces than in Denmarks military, more aces than Denmarks population. And there is somemore countries on the list to. So if you go if the conservative numbers. that aces i runt 1 % of the population. There 7. 753 billions humans on the planet. One procent of 7 billion is 70 million so we could easy invade countries with lower populations. Denmarks population is almost 6 million.
1:47 What’s the easiest way to get a cis-het person to get pissed off? It’s not inflation or unemployment, it’s…NAMING THE VARIOUS KINDS OF QUEER PEOPLE.
I was about to say "call them cis" lmao. I wanted to write something after this but I forgot smh Edit: I remembered it lol. If one would tell them the many different kinds there are they'd probably say "these are just some made up words" like yeah, all words are made up. Doesn't mean that the thing it's describing or means doesn't exist
One time a homophobe told me that all gay people and trans people have past trauma. I’m a trans man, pansexual and asexual. I have no past trauma. The person couldn’t deal with the fact that I told them facts and started spewing random bullshit. It was kinda pathetic.
Even for people who have trauma, most of it is unrelated to sex or gender identity. My major source of trauma in a single event was my dad dying when I was 15. And the trauma I have that *is* related to my gender is having gone through the wrong puberty and dealing with the immense amount of transphobia in the world. So like, either way, it's unrelated.
me and my friend are going to a pride walk for the first time in our lives, we are going to the one in amsterdam ! we are very exited to support our comunity

Somehow I'm very early today. Just wanted to say that thanks to your videos, I felt comfortable figuring out I'm agender. I'm still kinda closeted about it to my family, but your videos made me feel comfortable learning about transgender people and I have even started educating my mom. She already feels comfortable asking me questions about trans people (even questions I don't know the answers to) and it makes me so happy that she's willing to learn
I wanna open one of those "gay curing" camps and take in lgbt people for "curing their gayness" and just play The Orion Experience songs on repeat, serve garlic bread on every meal, give some therapy, authorize HRT, give fashion advice, and set them up with eachother. Who wants to help me?
On the 'are the straights okay' note, I recently saw juice 'for him' and 'her' at my local supermarket. Granted, they had different supplements added, iron and some vitamins for 'her' and magnesium and some vitamins for 'him' BUT they also had the same juice with extra iron or magnesium in their regular product range, neither specifically for 'him' or 'her'. It was so weird, like why? It's not like women wouldn't ever need magnesium or some sh*t and I don't need to be told that I'm a woman because I need some extra iron. Unless, the 'regular' juice is now the non-binary juice, would that be okay? I don't know... Let's just not gender juice.
I mean technically male and female (apologies if i phrase something wrong) bodies do require slightly different amounts of certain nutrients due to genetic/body differences , right? (once again apologies if my information is wrong) -trans minor
@@AnachronisticAstronaut Sure, different bodies have different needs. Personally, I just felt like it is unnecessary to write it on the bottle. When I get an iron supplement from the pharmacy I doesn't say 'for her' on it either. At least not where I live. Also, technically, the iron is most important for menstruating people. Menstruation is not exclusive to people identifying as female. Furthermore, to assign the magnesium supplemented juice, which is important for muscles, to men feels somewhat stereotyped. Anyone (healthy enough to do so) can exercise and be in need of some extra magnesium. It just doesn't make sense to brand it as 'his and hers'. To me at least.
@@AnachronisticAstronaut technically correct, but you know that's not the intention of the maker of said product. You know there's an app that literally told you what gender is your phone!! An inanimate object, being gendered....
Hello, Ace person here. I don’t know why the meme said stealing kneecaps specifically, but I do know that I love the idea of stealing kneecaps myself 🤩
As an asexual, I have to admit that we’re actually obsessed with kneecaps. The attraction that allos feel for other people is focused entirely on kneecaps for us. Jokes aside, I’m pretty sure it originated on tumblr, it’s a rather common threat there and not necessarily an ace thing
as an asexual i no longer have to worry about my kneecaps being stolen, as now i will always have spares. it definitely does not have anything to do with world domination, we just like stealing them. (benefits also include being able to hold people's knees for ransom for food)
Jamie, I just wanted to say: I came to this channel out of curiosity, and I stayed for the positivity. Your channel is helping me be a better ally. Thank you.
4:04 god I hate when people say that like- bro. What about the straights but they’re infertile? can THEY have children just cause they’re not gay or do they THEN think about the fact people can adopt?? 💀🤚🏽
Question about Pride Counciling: are they also very neurodivergent friendly? As someone who is adhd and autistic as well as queer it's surprisingly hard to find therapists that are fully accepting, especially since I live in Texas.
Ouch… that’s rough, buddy. I wish you all the best in your journey in finding an accepting therapist. That being said: I’m sure it’s at least worth looking into. Surely it would be stated somewhere on the site.
@@rhymerlegend2717 ... by "this community" are you talking about the LGBT+ community? I kinda hope not. Do you think that just because a community is kind, accepting and supportive, that they wouldn't also offer sound advice or say things that have to be said?
As a fellow Ace person, I would like to apologize for stealing kneecaps. Unfortunately our collection isn’t complete just and we will continue stealing them until we have all of them
3 MINUTES AGO!? Damn bruh. Didn’t expect that. Also- I’ve had a nap just now too lmao. Though yours was likely yesterday->- or sum. Idk. Anyways, love LGBTQ+ memes they’re just 🤌🏽🤌🏽

I just hate how bisexual people have to deal with twice the amount of discrimination (from str8 and gay people) I'm not bisexual but I'll always support those who are because they are 100% valid.

You guys are perfect too and Ily too just the way you are and I'll always support you guys too! 💖💛💙 (Also thanks everyone for pointing that out in the comments section)
I just came out bi to my husband and bff. The former wasn't surprised. They both said it's okay. So no discrimination for now. I'm dreading telling more ppl tho. They won't take me seriously because well, I'm married and have children. And never had a girlfriend. I just know it and I know they won't understand. So just, thank you for standing up for us 💖💜💙 Let's also support pansexual who are not taken seriously either and have to hear bullshits like "You're doing it with animals then?" Or "Kids" (to answer the last question of the video : saying someone that is not normal ! ) 💙💛💖
As a Pansexual I deal with even worse ... I've been told "So you're just bi." or I get told "Which gender do you like more?" or I get told to pick a side or called a closeted gay

This channel is actually the reason I figured out I'm ace. I was watching one of your videos and my brain went "That's me :0!" Thanks for what you do! Promise not to steal your knee caps or left over birthday cake.
@The Werewolf of Somalia I know, right? Transphobes/Homophobes are brainwashing their children into believing that queerness is nonexistent or a sin, despite an overwhelming amount of evidence that says otherwise! Absolute *ssholes, am I right?
If you won’t steal his birthday cake, I will. I like cake. Damian likes cake. Junior likes cake. It’s an overwhelming amount of we like cake, so we really have no option.
Well, as an asexual, I am going to simply advise you not to look too deeply into the stealing of kneecaps lest you want yours taken as well. It’s for the greater good. Just trust us.
Anyone who knows me knows I practically live by this quote I made up. "No one is normal, everyone is just a different kind of weird." It's applicable to nearly any situation and that last minute of the video reminded me of it.
Well stealing kneecaps is a common activity for wild or younger aces. But, after time, they usually din’t just steal random kneecaps and only those who threaten their pack, especially homophobes and transphobes are in danger and recommended to change their mind immediately.
every single time you say "hey spuds ☺️" my heart literally melts (idk it sounds cute), also you're such a sweet person i hope you know that have a wonderful day/night
As an asexual: I would love to answer your question, but unfortunately, I only speak to people who have kneecaps and you currently have none (I’ve stolen them)
Jammie your videos always brighten my day especially when things get tough. Thanks for being you and making these videos that are both educational and fun! Wishing you a great day!
Just a 'for fun' question: do bisexuals love dinosaurs because 'dinosaur' rhymes with 'binosaur'? (No meanness meant, I respect bisexuals, but have a very pun-based sense of humor) :)
I once borrowed a children's book about witches that included recipes for Halloween-themed sweets, and there was a recipe for kneecap cookies. I made them a few times until I lost the recipe. I can tell you kneecaps taste delicious. I would totally steal yours. (I'm also demi/grey ace, btw.)
This has made my day! I’ve been feeling down lately, as my dad has been extremely homophobic and forbid me from seeing my girlfriend for the summer. Thanks for the cheer up Jamie!
See, I know that we should take our time, but I really like this paraphrased quote: If I keep waiting for the world to accept me coming out, I'll die in the closet. It's kinda dark but I find it relatable
5:50 So much of this. Even when they try, they often fail very clearly. An example of this i can think of was i was out protestin against the local schoolboards discriminatory practices and a bunch of us had our pics taken by a journalist and name and pronouns taken. When the article got posted, every single passing/cis persons caption included their pronouns just casually. For us nonconformin trans folks tho, they just conveniently rewrote the script to avoid usin pronouns even when we gave them pronouns. Notably, both of us that did such did give them neopronouns; so most likely it was just a step too far and if we had asked to be called they or it, there wudnt have been a problem. But we legit explained our neopronouns and mine are as simple as "My pronouns are like she/her but replace the sh/h at the start with fa. Fae Faer Faers Faerself. (rhymes with they their theirs theirself)" and they just didnt want to use them for us and left our gender up the eye of the beholder.... Which pissed me off more than if they had just said "Hey, i dont believe in neopronouns; im gonna just call you they".
As a recently discovered asexual person, I need to be informed about the "kneecap thing" and what about to do with them for when I start to collect them... 😄😄
I thought I was gonna come out as enby this june and I didn’t do it - your reassurances were comforting for me! I know it’s okay but it’s still nice to hear it
In case nobody else mentions it: the dinosaur with crippling anxiety in its pants appears to be a psittacosaur, an older relative of triceratops. Also: I agree that no phobias are cool. I have acrophobia and it's not cool at all.
5:37 It’s not only the mainstream media but a lot of entertainment journalism that is frequently biphobic, transmisic and comfortable with gender stereotypes.
Hahah! Liked that one about the coming out, just because it's totally different from my coming out. I never planned to come out publicly. I came out to some friends (who probs already knew I was queer) and one day I woke up and decided to come out on social media. That was June 3rd 2021. Total coincidence that it was during pride month tho 🙈🙈🏳🌈
I had planned to tell my parents I was pan during pride and I got really close but then we got into an argument one day about whether or not gay is natural and my dad revealing that he still thinks my gay brother just hasn't met the right girl yet. My brain goes zippy when I argue with people and that usually results in me crying (I partly blame my sister for that one) so not much was accomplished despite my best attempts. Maybe next year. I did come out to both of my brothers so I at least made some progress. The gay one congratulated me and the straight one said he completely understood because women are pretty hot.
@The Werewolf of Somalia "I don't experience these conditions so therefore it must not be real" is not an acceptable approach to dealing with other human beings. His homophobia might not be malicious but he is acting out of self inflicted ignorance so yeah I can actually blame him for that. I love the man but his right wing victim mentality needs to change.
as an ace, stealing kneecaps is a mandatory process in the making of cake and garlic bread, as we must sacrifice the first kneecap to our god before he bestows the perfect batter for the cake/garlic bread and then we throw the other kneecap on the floor and screech, summoning the frogs
As an asexual, the compulsive need to steal kneecaps is an unfortunate side effect of not having sexual attraction. It causes great problems in our life. The lack of storage space and assult charges being two of many. We're able to ignore it for most people we meet. However, when someone annoys us, usually aphobes or just really unlucky tourists, the need becomes overwhelming and we have no choice but to give in.
It's a hard existence, but I hope this helps you understand.
Unlucky tourists, lol. I didn't know Denmark was ours already. Did I miss the invasion?
As a demisexual we need to steal kneecaps to help with the invasion of denmark
I can relate to this struggle. To me it's not just aphobes' knees, it's all shiny ones. You know how hard I've had it when Jamie here has such nice and shiny kneecaps? I've had to physically restrain myself to a rocking chair so as to not buy a plane ticket to the UK😭

I once got into an argument in college with a girl who was saying bisexuality was too confusing so bi people should identify based on their current relationship. Like, I'm a woman married to a man therefore I should identify as straight. I could not get her to explain to me 1)how someone 'changing' their sexuality presentation every time they get a new partner was less confusing, 2)what about single bisexuals, and 3)how this system was supposed to work with poly. When I have more female partners am I as lesbian who makes an exception for certain guys? How confusing is it that gender isn't a strong factor in my attraction? I also don't date people based on hair color, height, or blood type. How is that not confusing but the moment you don't care about gender everyone is so confused?
I mean, they are right that bisexuals are confused but we're not confused about our sexuality. We're confused by this kind of bs.
This is very good comment
This reminds me of when my dad accidentally invented neopronouns bc 'they/them is too confusing'.

@@lizzie31 It truly is a sign of privilege when you think your own ignorance and lack of empathy undermines a person's identity. I feel like at least half of biphobia is people saying we don't exist in some way.

Wait, did you mean literally or figuratively?
With a system as large as ours, you’d think there’d be more than one emotional support straight. But no, there’s only Ro. And he is… your typical middle child.
I was doing the dishes whilst listening to your lovely stories. However, because I didn't have the visual prompt, I missed the colon in: "Homophobes: Why can't you be normal?" Alternatively, I heard it as: "Homophobes, why can't you be normal?" And I thought, 'That's true. Why can't homophobes be normal?' A question for the ages.
LOL yeah
BECAUSE homophobes have been forced to hate people and deprive them of their self rights by depriving other people's rights . It is literally what Nelson Mandel said in his book " the opressor and opressed are both deprived of their humanity ... the opressor must also be freed for them are often in mental cages of their own ." ( maybe the wording is a little off I haven't read it in a while . So yes , Homophobes often feel or inflict other fact of discrimination and as the opressed also becomes free we will free the opressor . Sorry if I sounded too agressive or had any spelling errors , I have not slept all night .
I repeatedly told myself I was going to come out before I graduated college.
Then I told myself I'd do it when I left for med school.
As it turned out, what happened was that when the Pandemic started, I got so tired of lying and stir-crazy that I started dropping increasingly obvious "allyship" hints until my mother cornered me on it four months before I left for med school.
Sometimes, you come out. Sometimes, you're forced out. Sometimes, you spend so long obsessing over it that you trip over your own feet and stumble out like a jackass.
I have the urge to out myself by singing very queer songs very loudly so I have to tell myself to shut up in front of parents so yeah.. stumbling out might just happen.
This was me, but in a failed attempt at being casual about it. Turns out people can have a hard time grasping genderfluidity when it should be as simple as "I can be this or that, or all of these! I'll tell you what i am if it's important."

@@Gott.Streitet My biological grandfather was the one who "committed adultery" (as you say), was abusive, and committed "crimes". That's why they got divorced.

I hope you continue to learn about more types of people in the world. Maybe you can realize that just because they're different from what you've previously known doesn't mean they can't be uplifting and wonderful. When you are able to accept the good in people despite their differences, you will find much more inner peace and tranquility where there would otherwise be needless anger and resentment.

Ironically the trans pride dinosaur meme featured the only dinosaur that we actually kind of know what its genitals looked like, because a year or so back there was a publication describing the cloaca of an exceptionally well-preserved Psittacosaurus (the genus name of the dinosaur on the flag). The dinosaur they chose has come closer to telling us what was in its pants than literally any other dinosaur.
But then on the flip side a. Technically this is a different species, it looks like the dinosaur on the flag is Psittacosaurus sibiricus and the specimen with its cloaca described is not (it wasn't assigned a species at the time, I think it might be assigned to P. mongoliensis now? Idk), and b. Archosaurs (crocodiles, birds, nonavian dinosaurs and their relatives) keep their reproductive bits inside the cloaca unless they, er, intend to use them, if they have identifying bits at all (crocodilians do, most birds don't, and dinosaurs probably did but we don't really know), so we still don't know if that particular Psittacosaurus is male or female because its internal structures weren't so visibly preserved aside from its skeleton, so it arguably still works.
This has been a paleontology nerd overthinking a silly dinosaur flavored meme about trans rights.

I realized I am a transgender guy recently since I have finally stopped being in denial. I have been for as long as I remember. Even when I was around 4 I would always think to myself “I wish I was a guy.” Very confusing for a child. Then around the age of 10 I learned what being transgender was and I thought to myself “No, there is no way this is right. While this does seem accurate to how I always felt, what would people around me say?” This led to some panic for a little while. Then I tried to find a gender neutral identity even though I knew it wasn’t right. I even came out to my friends. Perhaps the feeling I felt then was guilt. Lying to myself and those who I can trust. I even came out to my parents while my mother didn’t support me at all and started criticizing the LGBTQ+ community, and my father said he would always love me, but he knew that how I was trying to identify wasn’t correct. He even said to me once when my mother wasn’t home, “If you ever find out you are transgender, just don’t tell your grandma.” He’s probably known all along. Of course now I have a preferred name and preferred pronouns which I can’t tell ANYONE about because my dumbass mother specifically told me “Stop going by that name. You’re name is (name) and your pronouns are she/her.” I do apologize for the rant but I can’t talk to anyone about this. Even the person I trust most. Only a few more years to go before I can be who I have always wanted to be. :)

@@spearmaster_ yooo that soo true! But i heard thats aro's are more popular for stealing jaws? Although we always can do both!! Heheheh
In all seriousness the kneecaps thing is a common (at this point, considered overused, I think) meme - it’s supposed to be a weird quirky threat that I think originated on tumblr, “I’m gonna steal your kneecaps”
So it was basically just a different way of phrasing that threat, specifically threatening aphobes
It’s a little hard to do asexual memes that aren’t just “better than sex amiright?” and “garlic bread and cake are OURS” (which is really just an offshoot of “better than sex”), and the better than sex thing can feel a bit exclusionary for aces who do enjoy sex and have with their partners. That’s why the person probably shot for the quirky random humour instead. More recently there has been the meme about world domination/taking over Denmark, because someone made a post saying that there are more asexuals than there are people in Denmark’s military? So that’s been adopted as something to meme about that doesn’t exclude aces with high libidos or who aren’t sex repulsed
@Dorito: No just more aces than in Denmarks military, more aces than Denmarks population. And there is somemore countries on the list to. So if you go if the conservative numbers. that aces i runt 1 % of the population. There 7. 753 billions humans on the planet. One procent of 7 billion is 70 million so we could easy invade countries with lower populations. Denmarks population is almost 6 million.

You probably do have trauma but you're repressing them by being not heteronormative!
(I'm joking, ofc)
Oh no the poor straight people and their rights! (Joke)
The thing is, probably 90% of people or even more have some sort of trauma. Most of those people are straight. It means absolutely nothing
Even for people who have trauma, most of it is unrelated to sex or gender identity. My major source of trauma in a single event was my dad dying when I was 15. And the trauma I have that *is* related to my gender is having gone through the wrong puberty and dealing with the immense amount of transphobia in the world.

Kneecaps are amazing. Love to steal them. Whenever people try to be aphobic or push the idea that everyone wants s3x they make a great weapon to throw at people to knock those crazy ideas out of their heads.
Somehow I'm very early today. Just wanted to say that thanks to your videos, I felt comfortable figuring out I'm agender. I'm still kinda closeted about it to my family, but your videos made me feel comfortable learning about transgender people and I have even started educating my mom. She already feels comfortable asking me questions about trans people (even questions I don't know the answers to) and it makes me so happy that she's willing to learn
I wanna open one of those "gay curing" camps and take in lgbt people for "curing their gayness" and just play The Orion Experience songs on repeat, serve garlic bread on every meal, give some therapy, authorize HRT, give fashion advice, and set them up with eachother.
Who wants to help me?
yes.
What else is there to say
Bait and switch the queerphobes >:)
@@IgirlbossedTooCloseToTheSun yes!
I wanna come! Do you accept systems?
As a short asexual, I can't steal anything else, can't even go for the elbows
On the 'are the straights okay' note, I recently saw juice 'for him' and 'her' at my local supermarket. Granted, they had different supplements added, iron and some vitamins for 'her' and magnesium and some vitamins for 'him' BUT they also had the same juice with extra iron or magnesium in their regular product range, neither specifically for 'him' or 'her'. It was so weird, like why? It's not like women wouldn't ever need magnesium or some sh*t and I don't need to be told that I'm a woman because I need some extra iron. Unless, the 'regular' juice is now the non-binary juice, would that be okay? I don't know...
Let's just not gender juice.
I mean technically male and female (apologies if i phrase something wrong) bodies do require slightly different amounts of certain nutrients due to genetic/body differences , right? (once again apologies if my information is wrong)
-trans minor
@@AnachronisticAstronaut Sure, different bodies have different needs. Personally, I just felt like it is unnecessary to write it on the bottle. When I get an iron supplement from the pharmacy I doesn't say 'for her' on it either. At least not where I live. Also, technically, the iron is most important for menstruating people. Menstruation is not exclusive to people identifying as female.
Furthermore, to assign the magnesium supplemented juice, which is important for muscles, to men feels somewhat stereotyped. Anyone (healthy enough to do so) can exercise and be in need of some extra magnesium.
It just doesn't make sense to brand it as 'his and hers'. To me at least.
@@AnachronisticAstronaut technically correct, but you know that's not the intention of the maker of said product. You know there's an app that literally told you what gender is your phone!! An inanimate object, being gendered....
@@be_me leave my gendered products alone, not just straight people like them.
Hello, Ace person here. I don’t know why the meme said stealing kneecaps specifically, but I do know that I love the idea of stealing kneecaps myself 🤩
sell on black market, more dragon things, garlic bread and cake
As an asexual, I have to admit that we’re actually obsessed with kneecaps. The attraction that allos feel for other people is focused entirely on kneecaps for us.
Jokes aside, I’m pretty sure it originated on tumblr, it’s a rather common threat there and not necessarily an ace thing
as an asexual i no longer have to worry about my kneecaps being stolen, as now i will always have spares. it definitely does not have anything to do with world domination, we just like stealing them.
(benefits also include being able to hold people's knees for ransom for food)
Jamie, I just wanted to say: I came to this channel out of curiosity, and I stayed for the positivity. Your channel is helping me be a better ally. Thank you.
4:04 god I hate when people say that like- bro. What about the straights but they’re infertile? can THEY have children just cause they’re not gay or do they THEN think about the fact people can adopt?? 💀🤚🏽
7:48 Everytime I hear that you can't be just friends with people with gender you're attracted to, I'm like: so pansexual people can't have friends? D:
When I was in middle school way back in the early 90s, I had a t-shirt that read "Normal People Worry Me." Now I *really* wish I still had that shirt!
My nephew's mom has, and sometimes wears, a shirt that says that. It is really appropriate sometimes.
5:20 Jamie: "Let's just set the record straight... or gay..."
My mind: "Or bi... or pan... or ace... or polysexual..."
Is it still going?
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623 of course
I absolutely LOVE your videos, I've been watching them for years across different accounts. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Question about Pride Counciling: are they also very neurodivergent friendly? As someone who is adhd and autistic as well as queer it's surprisingly hard to find therapists that are fully accepting, especially since I live in Texas.
Ouch… that’s rough, buddy. I wish you all the best in your journey in finding an accepting therapist. That being said: I’m sure it’s at least worth looking into. Surely it would be stated somewhere on the site.
@@rhymerlegend2717 Jokes on you, we don’t let anyone who isn’t our friend help us.
@@rhymerlegend2717 So does everyone else in the system. There’s honestly nothing to feel bad about!
@@rhymerlegend2717 nu
@@rhymerlegend2717 ... by "this community" are you talking about the LGBT+ community? I kinda hope not. Do you think that just because a community is kind, accepting and supportive, that they wouldn't also offer sound advice or say things that have to be said?
loving the dino content in this video. I'm currently wearing a shirt with 2 gay dinos kissing on it 🥺❤
As a fellow Ace person, I would like to apologize for stealing kneecaps. Unfortunately our collection isn’t complete just and we will continue stealing them until we have all of them
3 MINUTES AGO!?
Damn bruh. Didn’t expect that.
Also- I’ve had a nap just now too lmao. Though yours was likely yesterday->- or sum. Idk.
Anyways, love LGBTQ+ memes they’re just 🤌🏽🤌🏽
3:07 I like how you're implying we should bite people who tell us to pick a side :)
Personally I will be implementing this method immediately
Us asexuals steal kneecaps just because we can
Yeah be lucky that we are only stealing your kneecaps aswell, because we could Steal your garlic bread and cake
The only thing asexual people still is an enjoyment of a good night of sex they completely rob it they take it away and leave both people very unsatisfied
@@TFGA_tFoMS the only thing you people take away from an engagement is the enjoyment of a good night of sex and the peaceful sleep that comes after it excellent workmanship you you not having an enjoyable night of sex weirdos go ahead and enjoy your no sex life just don't involve the rest of us because we enjoy it don't worry I'm pretty sure you're a fat middle-aged woman because that's actually the highest percentage of asexuals in the planet
What you gonna do? Chase us?
I just hate how bisexual people have to deal with twice the amount of discrimination (from str8 and gay people) I'm not bisexual but I'll always support those who are because they are 100% valid. To any and all bisexuals seeing this: Hi and Ily just the way you are! 💖💜💙
I forgot to say this but I also support Pansexuals as well. I've heard that you guys have it bad too. You guys are perfect too and Ily too just the way you are and I'll always support you guys too!
💖💛💙
(Also thanks everyone for pointing that out in the comments section)
I just came out bi to my husband and bff. The former wasn't surprised. They both said it's okay. So no discrimination for now. I'm dreading telling more ppl tho. They won't take me seriously because well, I'm married and have children. And never had a girlfriend. I just know it and I know they won't understand.
So just, thank you for standing up for us 💖💜💙
Let's also support pansexual who are not taken seriously either and have to hear bullshits like "You're doing it with animals then?" Or "Kids" (to answer the last question of the video : saying someone that is not normal ! )
💙💛💖
As a Pansexual I deal with even worse ... I've been told "So you're just bi." or I get told "Which gender do you like more?" or I get told to pick a side or called a closeted gay
@The Werewolf of Somalia 😘 thank you for your kind comment
@@DinosaurNick I'm so sorry to hear that. You are 100% valid and I'll always support you! 💖💛💙 (I also updated my comment so I can include you guys, I have a bad habit of not finishing what I say/type)
@@maudmarie5294 Congrats on coming out! I'm also glad that they were supportive. You don't have to come out if you don't want to/you're not ready to, (although I'm sure you heard that advice before) You are 100% valid and I'll always support you! And yes I also support Pansexuals as well. I heard that they also deal with some discrimination too. I edited my comment to include them too! (I have a bad habit of not finishing what I say/type)
💖💜💙 💖💛💙
This was so much fun! We need more of these. It really made me relaxed and happy.
This channel is actually the reason I figured out I'm ace. I was watching one of your videos and my brain went "That's me :0!" Thanks for what you do! Promise not to steal your knee caps or left over birthday cake.
@The Werewolf of Somalia I know, right? Transphobes/Homophobes are brainwashing their children into believing that queerness is nonexistent or a sin, despite an overwhelming amount of evidence that says otherwise! Absolute *ssholes, am I right?
If you won’t steal his birthday cake, I will.
I like cake. Damian likes cake. Junior likes cake. It’s an overwhelming amount of we like cake, so we really have no option.
5:02 correction, hydrophobia is pretty cool :)
lol
4:18 HELP JAMIE READ MY MEME WHAT 😭 PLS TELL ME IM NOT DREAMING THIS MADE MY DAY
*pinches*, "did it hurt?"
@@Space_Cat59 LOL I JUST SAW THIS
Love all of the dinosaur memes.
My sketchbook has a rainbow dino in it, because I needed to draw one. LOL
Rainbow dino sounds so pretty.
Dude! The fact that your hair looks that cool as "a mess" is awesome. Looks great!
as an asexual i have a very simple answer: because.
What does LGBTQIA+ stand for?
Love and equality.
As an asexual stealing kneecaps is just part of who we are. I do it all the time.
Well, as an asexual, I am going to simply advise you not to look too deeply into the stealing of kneecaps lest you want yours taken as well. It’s for the greater good. Just trust us.
Anyone who knows me knows I practically live by this quote I made up. "No one is normal, everyone is just a different kind of weird." It's applicable to nearly any situation and that last minute of the video reminded me of it.
Well stealing kneecaps is a common activity for wild or younger aces. But, after time, they usually din’t just steal random kneecaps and only those who threaten their pack, especially homophobes and transphobes are in danger and recommended to change their mind immediately.
7:56 Literally had this argument with someone earlier in the day.
every single time you say "hey spuds ☺️" my heart literally melts (idk it sounds cute), also you're such a sweet person i hope you know that
have a wonderful day/night
As an asexual: I would love to answer your question, but unfortunately, I only speak to people who have kneecaps and you currently have none (I’ve stolen them)
Jammie your videos always brighten my day especially when things get tough.
Thanks for being you and making these videos that are both educational and fun!
Wishing you a great day!
Just a 'for fun' question: do bisexuals love dinosaurs because 'dinosaur' rhymes with 'binosaur'?
(No meanness meant, I respect bisexuals, but have a very pun-based sense of humor) :)
as a biromantic I love this joke and you have our permission to use it in the future lmao
As a bisexual, I approve of this joke lmao
I am neither biromantic nor bisexual, but you made me laugh. Respect to all the binosaurs.
As a questioning person who thinks I might be bi, I approve
I once borrowed a children's book about witches that included recipes for Halloween-themed sweets, and there was a recipe for kneecap cookies. I made them a few times until I lost the recipe. I can tell you kneecaps taste delicious. I would totally steal yours. (I'm also demi/grey ace, btw.)
Wait, am I not supposed to be stealing kneecaps? As an Asexual person I've had collection of patellas that's been growing since the mid 2000's.
This has made my day! I’ve been feeling down lately, as my dad has been extremely homophobic and forbid me from seeing my girlfriend for the summer. Thanks for the cheer up Jamie!
See, I know that we should take our time, but I really like this paraphrased quote: If I keep waiting for the world to accept me coming out, I'll die in the closet. It's kinda dark but I find it relatable
I mean, yeah but also physical safety needs to be accounted for.
@The Werewolf of Somalia …about transphobic opinions?
@@devent10n Agreed
Ooo! Getting so close to 1M. I'm so happy for you Jammi 🥰
5:50 So much of this. Even when they try, they often fail very clearly. An example of this i can think of was i was out protestin against the local schoolboards discriminatory practices and a bunch of us had our pics taken by a journalist and name and pronouns taken.
When the article got posted, every single passing/cis persons caption included their pronouns just casually. For us nonconformin trans folks tho, they just conveniently rewrote the script to avoid usin pronouns even when we gave them pronouns.
Notably, both of us that did such did give them neopronouns; so most likely it was just a step too far and if we had asked to be called they or it, there wudnt have been a problem. But we legit explained our neopronouns and mine are as simple as "My pronouns are like she/her but replace the sh/h at the start with fa. Fae Faer Faers Faerself. (rhymes with they their theirs theirself)" and they just didnt want to use them for us and left our gender up the eye of the beholder.... Which pissed me off more than if they had just said "Hey, i dont believe in neopronouns; im gonna just call you they".
the gay agenda:
1. snacks
2. equal rights
3. more snacks
As a recently discovered asexual person, I need to be informed about the "kneecap thing" and what about to do with them for when I start to collect them... 😄😄
Yeah we need to know please??
Eat
Bone marrow
Same
I thought I was gonna come out as enby this june and I didn’t do it - your reassurances were comforting for me! I know it’s okay but it’s still nice to hear it
1 hour ticket
ps Jamie? is legendary and is just one of the best people there is.
In case nobody else mentions it: the dinosaur with crippling anxiety in its pants appears to be a psittacosaur, an older relative of triceratops.
Also: I agree that no phobias are cool. I have acrophobia and it's not cool at all.
5:37 It’s not only the mainstream media but a lot of entertainment journalism that is frequently biphobic, transmisic and comfortable with gender stereotypes.
Just recently found out I was demi!!! So to answer the kneecap question: *you don’t deserve them*
Hahah! Liked that one about the coming out, just because it's totally different from my coming out. I never planned to come out publicly. I came out to some friends (who probs already knew I was queer) and one day I woke up and decided to come out on social media. That was June 3rd 2021. Total coincidence that it was during pride month tho 🙈🙈🏳🌈
Jamie: Can we name the supportive llama?
Me: CAAAAARRRRLLLL!!
We steal the kneecaps because funzies. Also World Domination but mostly funzies.
I had planned to tell my parents I was pan during pride and I got really close but then we got into an argument one day about whether or not gay is natural and my dad revealing that he still thinks my gay brother just hasn't met the right girl yet. My brain goes zippy when I argue with people and that usually results in me crying (I partly blame my sister for that one) so not much was accomplished despite my best attempts. Maybe next year. I did come out to both of my brothers so I at least made some progress. The gay one congratulated me and the straight one said he completely understood because women are pretty hot.
@The Werewolf of Somalia "I don't experience these conditions so therefore it must not be real" is not an acceptable approach to dealing with other human beings. His homophobia might not be malicious but he is acting out of self inflicted ignorance so yeah I can actually blame him for that. I love the man but his right wing victim mentality needs to change.
4:34 "...the 𝚌 𝚑 𝚒 𝚕 𝚍 𝚛 𝚎 𝚗 !"
as an ace, stealing kneecaps is a mandatory process in the making of cake and garlic bread, as we must sacrifice the first kneecap to our god before he bestows the perfect batter for the cake/garlic bread
and then we throw the other kneecap on the floor and screech, summoning the frogs
