From what I've hear, it is because it was in the background of a pro lgbtq+ ad or something that Ikea made, and people noticed that Blåhaj had the trans flag colors. It seems more likely that the meme you are talking about was made after Blåhaj had already become a mascot.

Its necessary to point out that transgender is an umbrella term for anyone who does not identify as their assigned gender at birth. HRT and a transition is not a requirement to be transgender. It may not be safe to transition where someone lives or other factors but that doesn't make someone not trans. Overall though excellent video and thank you for defining some terms!

Awesome video! TransMed also refers to those who believe you must have medically diagnosed gender dysphoria to be trans. Truscum is the derogatory version of the term.
Finally, someone who knows the correct definition. The video and other comments are wrong. Also, could add that non-transmeds are called Tucute (too cute to be cis).
@@Sasha-doll-2023tucute doesnt really describe non-transmeds. it refers to people who are so far removed from transmedicalism that they wrap around and end up engaging in a lot of toxic positivity.

Aaaa the pronunciation of Blåhaj is killing me T_T Also as for why this little blue shark is considered the mascot, yes it’s partially the colors, but it’s also partially because IKEA released an inclusive ad featuring Blåhaj front and center and it just kinda grew from those & the cuteness I think

Gender Euphoria and Dysphoria isn’t just about the body. It can be a neurological thing too for example calling a transfemme one of the girlies with likely give her euphoria even though it isn’t exactly body related
Gender dysphoria/euphoria has a few categories: - body - how your body relates to your gender - social - how you're perceived/treated socially based on gender - mind - how you perceive your reactions, emotions and thoughts in relation to your gender (eg. Doubting if you are actually (insert gender) accidentally misgendering yourself, feeling too manly/feminine, etc)
There are fem presenting transmasc people and vice versa for transfems who look masculine. The term transmasc means an AFAB person transitioning to a more masculine/ less feminine gender identity, but that doesn’t necessarily affect their gender presentation. It includes non binary people and trans men. My best friend is a trans masc who doesn’t want to medically transition and wears exclusively feminine outfits, makeup, nails, etc. but uses they/them and prefers masculine descriptors (“handsome” over pretty, or masculine terms like uncle or nephew).
Nice video. I just need to make it clear that “nonbinary”, & “genderfluid”, are NOT the same, nor are the terms “interchangeable”. NON BINARY is to not personally relate to, or identify as, either of the two binary categories of “man”, or “woman” (or, male/female). A non-binary person may identify their gender as any point along (or, even fully outside of), the gender spectrum, &/or anywhere inbetween, the 2 binary poles. From my understanding, & also being ‘nonbinary transfeminine’, myself, my gender identity/expression is “static”. It is set, & does not change, no matter the circumstance. I believe this is, most often, the case, for Enby’s. GENDERFLUID is to have a gender identity, which fluctuates between, at least (but not limited to) two separate gender identities, or alternatively, is in a constant state of “flux”, where the person’s gender identity, & expression, is perpetually changing, based on their whim, the day, the direction of the wind, the barometric pressure, the smell of granny’s fart today, or any other thing they decide will dictate thier gender, in this moment. Genderfluid, is thusly named, specifically, because their gender is NOT “set”, or “static”. It is “fluid”. There is some overlap, as there are with many of these types of “labels”, but, yeah… definitely NOT “the same”. Thanks, have a great day! 👋😉❤
just a little clarification, the creator of the video didn't ever say that the terms "nonbinary" and "genderfluid" were the SAME terms. they just brought up how they can be used in conjuction (together / with) each other. there are plenty of genderfluid people who also identify as nonbinary because being genderfluid makes you non-binary in the same way non-binary makes you transgender (they're umbrella terms.)

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm genderfluid and really don't like it when people call me or perceive of me as non-binary. In my mind they are very different things. I know some genderfluid people think of it as 'type' of non-binary but that isn't how all genderfluid people think of it. Everyone's their own person. Another term is Bigender, being two genders at the same time, statically, usually male and female. People like this sometimes call themselves Non-binary and sometimes call themselves Genderfluid and that's fine labels are just there to communicate ideas really. But I am a genderfluid trans woman. I like being called Genderfluid. I'm fine being called a trans woman 'cause that's usually the case. I do not like being called non-binary because that just doesn't feel like an accurate description of how my gender works. I'm not between the binary or outside of it.
as a trans person who has never taken any hormone stuff or anything i somehow passed so well that people were giving me female clothing (in JROTC) and referring to me as she and i just went along with it
One thing I like to note- at least as far as I am aware, transgender means changing the gender identity to one outside of that which you were raised as. This definition focuses on the fact that gender is based on the society one is raised in rather than the birth sex. This also clarifies a few grey areas, such as cisgender women born intersex.
@firetube8288 no, but trans people are different because they were raised as one gender and then grow up and move, or transition, to a different gender that more accurately represents who we are. I could have made that clearer. The purpose of this definition is to focus on the fact that it is social and not rooted in biology, as gender is a purely social concept. As stated above, this clarifies things surrounding the intersex community rather than boxing in all intersex people in with the trans community without them identifying as such. A trans woman was raised to be a man but recognized the incongruence between this and her internal identity of self. She then transitions socially and perhaps medically to match the external self to her internal identity. An intersex person may have been raised as a man, and that fits his identity of self. This isn't a trans person. While the definition of transgender as defined in the video would box him in with the trans community, he likely doesn't feel the term fits. He is an intersex man, not a trans man. An intersex person raised to be a man, but later feels this doesn't fit their gender identity. They are non-binary. This is a trans person. The definition in the video would make them technically a cis person since their sex is also not in the binary, but the definition I set out clarifies that this person is still very reasonable in their identifying as transgender. Being transgender is not about the person's sex, it's about their upbringing. In a theoretical world where kids weren't raised under the boxes of boy and girl, the concept of being transgender simply wouldn't make sense, as there aren't genders to transition to or from.
@@scarlethart7745 you lost me at the last paragraph, if I was raised as an undefined creature I'd still be trans, on account of the fact that my body doesnt match my gender identity
@firetube8288 as stated before, gender is a social construct. It's not based on your sex. It's based on upbringing and expectations, which are associated with that sex. In a world with one group- human, there is no man or woman, no societal expectations of a gender. If all people are actually treated the same way, what are you transitioning to? It would be purely cosmetic at that point. You just have an idealized body, so does the person getting a breast augmentation or botox. It's just making your ideal body real. To say you would still be trans is to not understand the hypothetical. If there is no gender, and you just are who you are, you can't be trans. It's not a concept here. If there is no gender you can't transition into or out of any gender.
@9tp5efron you kinda referenced binder when you talked about binding. I'm a little sad you left out gaff when talking about tucking. Anyways, I love your video. This is the first I've seen of you and I can't wait to get to know more of you through your videos. Thank you 💖💖💖
I got a notification earlier about a comment asking what a gaff is ,but now I can't find it to reply to the person who asked if. I hope whoever asks sees this A gaff is to trans women what a binder is to a trans man. . . Difference being for your downstairs vs upstairs respectively
It is not a verb tho. And it is a noun, especially for trans people. AFAB is basically similar to way cis people talk about "women" just plainly. (It is but it is also not. AFAB ≠ women at all, or trans man, or masc non-binary.)
@@novactic-s9k "Assigned male/female at birth" implies that it happened. No one would say I'm an assigned female/male at birth, that doesn't make any sense. Also AGAB, in its actual context doesn't imply the presence of certain genitals, it means it's a thing that happens to someone.
It’s a phrase, not a verb or noun. It’s like saying “I need these documents ASAP”. I’ve seen it more often used like a noun. “Btw, I am AFAB” “Please put a warning that this post is AMAB-specific” I haven’t really seen anyone (often) using it as “I was AFAB”, usually it’s present tense.
(theres not that much debate about non-binary being counted under the trans umbrella, people that dont count it are fringe at best, but it can vary person to person)
2:14 this is insane cause dang about like 3….? Years ago now, I came out as trans (ftm) and then I was like wait no…. I think I’m nonbinary…. And now I’m like wait maybe I’m genderfluid help 😭 I genuinely don’t know anymore-
I think the blahaj one came from a Deadpool comic featuring Jeff the Landshark (I don't quite remember the name, but I do remember the panel) Deadpool basically adresses the shark as blahaj and says it's the protector of trans kids I could be wrong tho
I’m probably gonna write down some of these to give them to my grandparents because some times to them it sounds like I’m curing them bc they have no clue what I’m saying
I'm pretty sure I'm genderfluid like I don't care if people call me a him/her or her/she or they/them as long as their not being a dick to me. Like I mostly prefer female but I'm tomboy-ish and will take whatever pronouns as mentioned as long as the person isn't being a piece of shit to me lmao.
I think it might be easier to understand when you say that: trans is a term for someone who doesn't identify with the gender that was assigned to them at birth (for example they were born as a girl but don't feel like a girl). It's an umbrella term for trans binary people (umbrella term for trans women and trans men) and trans nonbinary people (umbrella term for genderfluid, agender and more)
soo no. transfem and transmasc does not mean you're trans and present as more feminine or masculine. It just describes trans people who are connected to masculinity or femininity in any way! Example, a non-binary person might feel some kind of connection to masculinity, and call themself transmasc. You can be any gender and be transfem or transmasc (excluding genders with definitions that completely exclude that , like genderfaun. u can't be transfem if you're genderfaun, you can present feminine! but it's not the same thing.). You could even be a girl, but still feel some kind of masculinity having to do with your gender- and be transmasc :]
@@scrou154 actually we DO need to talk about them because im LITERALLY the cinderblockhon guys like that's literally me. im so rectangular oughhh ill neverrr pass im a brickhon gigahon iwnbaw
I really hate people who say like “you look like a girl- your not a trans guy” It’s like WTF- I look like a girl and that’s because I personally do not believe in looks/clothes being gendered:/ tho people “mistake” me as a cis guy and it’s funny cause they r like “sorry i misgendered u” and im like “you didn’t” 😭
so generally its the same (e.g transmasc and ftm) except for trans non-binary people who sometimes lean more masculine or more feminine but are still non-binary so therefore o by transmasculine or transfeminine
I just realized I have imposter syndrome. But not in a gender way, well, sort of. I believe I'm not masculine or feminine of the date women.

This definition focuses on the fact that gender is based on the society one is raised in rather than the birth sex. This also clarifies a few grey areas, such as cisgender women born intersex.
But we dont change our gender
Gender identity is how individual's perceives their gender. Gender is how society perceives gender identity. We're social animals
@firetube8288 no, but trans people are different because they were raised as one gender and then grow up and move, or transition, to a different gender that more accurately represents who we are. I could have made that clearer.
The purpose of this definition is to focus on the fact that it is social and not rooted in biology, as gender is a purely social concept. As stated above, this clarifies things surrounding the intersex community rather than boxing in all intersex people in with the trans community without them identifying as such.
A trans woman was raised to be a man but recognized the incongruence between this and her internal identity of self. She then transitions socially and perhaps medically to match the external self to her internal identity.
An intersex person may have been raised as a man, and that fits his identity of self. This isn't a trans person. While the definition of transgender as defined in the video would box him in with the trans community, he likely doesn't feel the term fits. He is an intersex man, not a trans man.
An intersex person raised to be a man, but later feels this doesn't fit their gender identity. They are non-binary. This is a trans person. The definition in the video would make them technically a cis person since their sex is also not in the binary, but the definition I set out clarifies that this person is still very reasonable in their identifying as transgender.
Being transgender is not about the person's sex, it's about their upbringing. In a theoretical world where kids weren't raised under the boxes of boy and girl, the concept of being transgender simply wouldn't make sense, as there aren't genders to transition to or from.
@@scarlethart7745 you lost me at the last paragraph, if I was raised as an undefined creature I'd still be trans, on account of the fact that my body doesnt match my gender identity
@firetube8288 as stated before, gender is a social construct. It's not based on your sex. It's based on upbringing and expectations, which are associated with that sex. In a world with one group- human, there is no man or woman, no societal expectations of a gender. If all people are actually treated the same way, what are you transitioning to? It would be purely cosmetic at that point. You just have an idealized body, so does the person getting a breast augmentation or botox. It's just making your ideal body real.
To say you would still be trans is to not understand the hypothetical. If there is no gender, and you just are who you are, you can't be trans. It's not a concept here. If there is no gender you can't transition into or out of any gender.
The blähaj is one: pronounced blow-hi(weird but cool), and two: is also the femboy mascot!
@9tp5efron you kinda referenced binder when you talked about binding. I'm a little sad you left out gaff when talking about tucking. Anyways, I love your video. This is the first I've seen of you and I can't wait to get to know more of you through your videos. Thank you 💖💖💖
@@JillianAlexisI should’ve mentioned them I’m very sorry.
I got a notification earlier about a comment asking what a gaff is ,but now I can't find it to reply to the person who asked if. I hope whoever asks sees this
A gaff is to trans women what a binder is to a trans man. . . Difference being for your downstairs vs upstairs respectively
One of my teachers called me a "good egg" the other week and it scared the living s*** out of my trans ass ngl😂😂😂
I don't know why the blahaj plushie is our mascot, but I know I have 378 of them (im serious I counted)
AMAB/AFAB actually means assigned male/female at birth, it is a verb not a noun and it is derived from the intersex community.
It is not a verb tho. And it is a noun, especially for trans people. AFAB is basically similar to way cis people talk about "women" just plainly. (It is but it is also not. AFAB ≠ women at all, or trans man, or masc non-binary.)
What has happened to my original comment.. But it is a noun tho????
@@novactic-s9k "Assigned male/female at birth" implies that it happened. No one would say I'm an assigned female/male at birth, that doesn't make any sense. Also AGAB, in its actual context doesn't imply the presence of certain genitals, it means it's a thing that happens to someone.
It’s a phrase, not a verb or noun.
It’s like saying “I need these documents ASAP”.
I’ve seen it more often used like a noun.
“Btw, I am AFAB”
“Please put a warning that this post is AMAB-specific”
I haven’t really seen anyone (often) using it as “I was AFAB”, usually it’s present tense.
@@fullfungo Yes, I agree with that. It is used quite commonly as a noun, but it is a phrase.
this is even useful for non trans people lol I realized I see amab and afab written all the time but never really knew what it meant XD
8:54 the still water in the background 😭
Hold on, your deadname is ODIN?!?!
can I have it
Also I recommend to any babytrans folk to read Whipping Girl it's an absolute classic.
(theres not that much debate about non-binary being counted under the trans umbrella, people that dont count it are fringe at best, but it can vary person to person)
5:59 help i always thought getting clocked by somebody means you got beat up by them 😭
6:02 Enby is also used as an equivalent for girl/boy/man/woman, as in "Enbies are the best!"
I thought blahaj was a lesbian icon? Am I stupid? This is so helpful!!
your voice makes me happy idk why
Now we got the trans dictionary
huh, didn't know I know 99% of trans terms. Pretty interesting.
i'm a femboy [maybe?]
6:07 just to let y’all know NB is actually the name referred to for Non-Black, so please use Enby or Non-Binary! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
ok but I'm both
Actually according to the first results on google NB stands for New Balance.
(An abbreviation can mean multiple things!)
We have names for colours, why would we need to an acronym to specify that something isn't black?
hi
Hi ✨
2:14 this is insane cause dang about like 3….? Years ago now, I came out as trans (ftm) and then I was like wait no…. I think I’m nonbinary…. And now I’m like wait maybe I’m genderfluid help 😭 I genuinely don’t know anymore-
I bought a blajah before I was trans lol
I think the blahaj one came from a Deadpool comic featuring Jeff the Landshark (I don't quite remember the name, but I do remember the panel)
Deadpool basically adresses the shark as blahaj and says it's the protector of trans kids
I could be wrong tho
Needed this :3
I'm genderfluidddd, was very happy to see my gender in a vid hehehe
it still annoys me whenever people mispronounce blåhaj
thank god it's mainly the reddit ones
*tttt board flashback*
i have permanent psychic damage from tttt. terminal brainworms
this video really helped! thx!
8:02 It’s times like this when I wish enemies could parry attacks back at me.
ITS TIMES LIKE THIS THAT MAKE ME WISH THAT- /ref
My friend is an egg. Very much an egg.
Guys I think we should just get rid of the concept of gender
Too real, if I had the option I would be a genderless like witch that lives in the forest
you forgot about hon, passoid, repper, youngsh*t / latesh*t, and pooner.

“Most trans people are programmers”
Me, a truck driver trans woman: ah.
I’m probably gonna write down some of these to give them to my grandparents because some times to them it sounds like I’m curing them bc they have no clue what I’m saying
5:37 the background flipping messed with me way too much
actually, blåhaj is pronounced "blow-high" or "blo-hi"
'blow high' would be a really weird way to pronounce blåhaj, 'blo hi' is certainly closer.
@@RasmusVJS alr thx :3
I'm pretty sure I'm genderfluid like I don't care if people call me a him/her or her/she or they/them as long as their not being a dick to me. Like I mostly prefer female but I'm tomboy-ish and will take whatever pronouns as mentioned as long as the person isn't being a piece of shit to me lmao.
Great job ...3-4 I didn't know so thank you 💜 vulnerable moment wit dead name so I'll go too Jamal2Jameela which means same thing in Arabic - beauty
7:54 really? i thought it stood for “Franz Ferdinand & Sparks”
I lowk think my partner is a egg
as a not-fully-a-guy who was born a guy idk why im here
Blåhaj is pronounced "Blow High" with a deep "oh" sound🥰
That doesn't sound right. Wouldn't it be more like 'blo hy' with the o being as in orange, and the hy being as in hydrogen?
@RasmusVJS Its part of the Swedish Alphabet, you can just look it up lol
@@RasmusVJS
Blå (Blo) = Blue in swedish
Haj (Hai) = Shark in swedish
T4T doesn't have to be just two people!
lore
I think it might be easier to understand when you say that:
trans is a term for someone who doesn't identify with the gender that was assigned to them at birth (for example they were born as a girl but don't feel like a girl).
It's an umbrella term for trans binary people (umbrella term for trans women and trans men)
and trans nonbinary people (umbrella term for genderfluid, agender and more)
2:49 See also Project Sekai
vocaloid is such a beacon for the lgbtq+ community
I was wearing programmer socks today lmao 💀
soo no. transfem and transmasc does not mean you're trans and present as more feminine or masculine. It just describes trans people who are connected to masculinity or femininity in any way! Example, a non-binary person might feel some kind of connection to masculinity, and call themself transmasc. You can be any gender and be transfem or transmasc (excluding genders with definitions that completely exclude that , like genderfaun. u can't be transfem if you're genderfaun, you can present feminine! but it's not the same thing.). You could even be a girl, but still feel some kind of masculinity having to do with your gender- and be transmasc :]
1:05 :O I didn’t know he was the trans mascot:D
You didn’t go over TTTT terms, those are advanced trans terms
Trans Trouble in Terrorist Town?
no don't spread the brainworms v_v
we DONT need to go over thoses bruh😭 dont need the 4chan terms spreading
Those should stay there. We do not need the "giga-hon" garbage.
@@scrou154 actually we DO need to talk about them because im LITERALLY the cinderblockhon guys like that's literally me. im so rectangular oughhh ill neverrr pass im a brickhon gigahon iwnbaw
>explains every trans icon
>pronounces blåhaj wrong
awesome :3
it's pronounced bloa-hi
I like calling my bf a "therian egg" because it's true and funny
fun video. Now hoping i don't literally get killed when i come out Q~Q
Couldn't top surgery also refer to breast augmentation for transfemmes?
6:43 kendrick lamar reference
isn't normie a condescending term
I really hate people who say like “you look like a girl- your not a trans guy”
It’s like WTF- I look like a girl and that’s because I personally do not believe in looks/clothes being gendered:/ tho people “mistake” me as a cis guy and it’s funny cause they r like “sorry i misgendered u” and im like “you didn’t” 😭
Ill call em programmer socks now :3
Honest question can someone be trans ftm but also be transfeminine? Or is it always the same (e.g transmasc and ftm)
so generally its the same (e.g transmasc and ftm) except for trans non-binary people who sometimes lean more masculine or more feminine but are still non-binary so therefore o by transmasculine or transfeminine
I knew all the words :D
Geee... Most of the definitions have not changed in 25 years!😊
13. Egg
idk what i am also an orange exploded in my eye and helped me remember that
I just realized I have imposter syndrome. But not in a gender way, well, sort of. I believe I'm not masculine or feminine of the date women. What if they're lesbians I have in transitioned at all in my opinion (besides from name and gender pronouns change) for some reason I often end up getting attracted to lesbians and I'm not pretty sure if they would like me 😔. Not my fault they dress is amazing and have amazing personalities
Does it say something about me that i didnt know only 3 of these
3:45 or that they're simply questioning
The trans dictionary goes crazy.
Is egg a transgender wor-...
Dang it
I wonder why so many trans are programmers... because I am also one.
And I love those programmer socks
Im so competitive im gonna rank myself to see how much I know of them if theyre not super common terms within the community
