oughh that tiktok around the 20 minute mark is interesting but sets off a bit of a pet peev, I am aroace and love to see the history but you can't just SAY that a historical figure was a queer identity that they themselves never said they identify with! You can say "this person was vocal about not wanting a partner and today they may have identified as aroace" but it's rude to just say that a real breathing person, even if they're a historical figure, is an identity they never said they were, both to the person and to the community
Exactly! There's also the whole homophobic aspect of history, where people may have been seen by the public as ace because it was too dangerous to be seen as having a same sex partner. And conservative values that had allosexual people living ace lives within religious organisations, or because they were "too focused on their work" to pursue romantic or sexual relationships. Places where the lack of relationship would be seen as a positive thing, and not some weird broken person. I know that some cultures have had the language and celebration of different genders and sexualities for hundreds, if not thousands of years (twin-spirited indigenous Americans, third gender in Aboriginal Australian culture, gods that alternate genders in Hindu mythology). But I don't know what those cultures knew or thought about asexuality.
THIS! I think it's important talking about and acknowledging that people have had complicated, non allocishet relationships with gender and sexuality and identity for all of history, but forcing a label on them is just 🤢. it's an important thing to talk about but it's also important to phrase it very carefully and do your best to not assume or put someone in a box. at the end of our day, it's none of our business.
@@commandercorl1544 no, they still shouldn't be labeled unless they did label themselves. of course it's fine to say they weren't straight or allo or cis, but assigning any more specific labels is weird.
The intersex videos are amazing and makes me feel validated. I'm hormonally intersex which has caused PCOS. Was I marked female at birth because I have no visual signs of being intersex? Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm not still intersex because hormones are still an important factor. Thank you for this compilation.
Much love and respect to you both and other intersex people, you guys are strong and beautiful people. Keep being awesome and remember that you are always loved 😃❤👍
ayo pcos gang rise up i for one was put on estrogen and testosterone blockers when i was thirteen and now i'm dependent on them sucks because i want my facial hair back but i'm glad yall are out there living your lives
I loved the tiktok about the ally hing cause I came out to my entire class because we had a book talk. And no one got mad, no one said anything mean and also few people were really nice. Even the straight dudes that looked mean and kinda homophobic. All were really nice but also kinda looked like they were trying too hard- So uh yea. Came out to class cause of a gay book and I'm not mad :)
@@snegluf That's so nice of you but don't feel forced to be too careful! Words can be interpreted in many ways and if you show that your intentions are good, most people won't feel offended by the exact terms you decide to use. Plus if someone believes you did make a mistake when expressing yourself, what’s the worst thing that can happen? It may be a little uncomfortable but it’s a learning opportunity in the end. Good luck ;)
18:44 I found that description of Edward Gorey very relatable honestly. I label myself as aromantic asexual but I think oriented aroace also applies and I’m a man oriented towards men, I don’t consider myself gay and don’t want relationships with men but hearing Edward described as gay but “identified very little with the gay part of his identity” feels very relatable to an extent; it’s fascinating seeing other people have similar experiences when you’re experience feels very niche and specific.
Yall make this way too complicated. Where do you want to put your dick? Or where do you want a dick put in you? ASK AND ANSWER those questions to yourself, and then you'll know your sexuality. It really is that simple
As another commenter said, could it be something more like aesthetic attraction (finding people pretty but in a non-romantic/sexual way)? It could also just be a very weak romantic/sexual attraction.
i love the last two tiktoks but i wish this person wouldn't put such specific labels on these people. just say they were on the asexual spectrum because you never really know what they would have specifically called themselves. i'm asexual and i love to hear that people in history were like me but it kinda makes me angry when people "diagnose" others with a label. hope this makes sense
So after having a rough day, I'm so glad I got the notification, this channel always makes me feel so happy! Also a happy day to the owl house fans today, Season 3 is finally out :D
The 16th was the worst day because of Flapjack 😭 But yes, I'm so happy! I've been rewatching the new episode so much, Dana and co. really worked hard and it shows!
19:36 I'd take that with grain of salt coz being a Polish person I've read some of the preserved rather homoerotic letters to Tytus that Chopin has written. Fun fact the first time I heard them, we were waiting in class at university for the professor to come back. And being almost exclusively queer group, we are Japanese major, one girl started reading spiciest fragments. As professor came back we were dying from laughing and he asked what was it about so we told him. He didn't even blink and said "as you should" and started the class.
The fucking “I reacted so well I’m such a good ally” made me genuinely laugh aloud- I have some pretty toxically masculine classmates, but they’re incredibly kind to me and I wouldn’t change a thing about them - but what does annoy me a little bit is that some of them approach me and call me by my preferred name, and drag it out. They dramatise the pronunciation A LOT, and I feel like it’s because they expect me to give them some kind of special and long thanks for showing basic respect. I’m just glad only about 3-4 out of 72 students regularly refer to me as “girl”, “she” and “[deadname]”. It’s 3-4 people too much, but a win is a win
I'm a few days late to this video but I just wanted to tell someone that I got my first binder today!! I've been wearing it all day (safely ofc) and the amount of gender euphoria I've had has made me so so happy. For those who are nervous about wearing a binder, I just wanna say that it's ok! I was too because I'd heard they were really tight, but it's really not nearly as bad as people can make it out to be. Always take breaks if it becomes nerve wracking or becomes uncomfortable, and just know that it's ok if it feels weird sometimes my lovelies
I heard that Isaac Newton was gay. Is this inaccurate or was he homoromantic asexual? I am referring to a few things I heard about his journals being repressed and in them he talks about men that he was involved with. I’d like to know more if anyone has any info on this.
same, I'm proud and yet so sad for those who didn't have the words to describe what they were feeling (or... didn't feel, I guess). Marilyn Monroe is now on the list of historical figures and celebrities I wish I could bring back just to give them a hug (if they'd like one) and tell them how appreciated they are and they deserved so much better, she's up there with the likes of van Gogh

THE VIDEO AT 15:52, I HATE MENSWEAR!!! I WANT TO LOOK LIKE A RAINBOW EXPLODED. AND ALLL THE MASC CLOTHING I'VE FOUND IS LIKE "hello, I am a normal man. These are normal man clothes."!!!!! But by embracing my inner queer, I dance around in dresses, I wear makeup, I have long hair and do allllll these feminine things because I'm a queer man doing what I want.
19:18 "this makes him aroace" I hate the way this sounds because it *makes everything boxes,* I use he/they which, to most people, because I *also* use they/them makes me nonbinary, which is *not true,* everyone identifies *how they feel* a label resonates with them, and sometimes a label *doesn't,* I know many bi people who feel how pan people feel, but the bi label fits them better and vice-versa, I also identify as aroace, but have had a boyfriend since I've identified with that label, sorry for the rant, but it pisses me off that people make gender and sexuality boxes when it's a spectrum, pronouns don't equal gender, gender expression doesn't equal gender, preferences doesn't equal sexuality, and all of that
I love these videos so much, they're entertaining but also very informative which I'm grateful for. Also if you ever feel like making another bi compilation (that would be awesome) I have a few title ideas because I am the master of overthinking Bi tiktoks: -for when you're rewatching Mulan -to watch while eating lemon bars -because frogs -to help you think of bad puns -with cuffed jeans -full of finger guns and peace signs (sorry, that's more than a few lol)
I saw the "local queer person spotted dyeing their hair" one....right after I told my friend I'm split dyeing my hair for a dance. LIKE DAMN U DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL ME OUT THAT HARD!
slight rant but gender identity crisis moment !! 😍😍 im almost 100% certain im intersex and considering labeling myself as transfem but i keep getting this feeling that because im afab im not "intersex enough" to be transfem and i do not know what to do about it !!
The way that they “identify” intersex people at birth is really not all that intuitive and intersex means a lot more than what the way they categorize it biologically when identifying people at birth. So even if you were assigned female at birth it doesn’t mean you aren’t intersex, it’s just the assumption some doctor made based on warped standards. So labeling yourself as transfem is perfectly valid, if really is whatever makes you comfortable and feels like it fits you.
At my CVS they usually just call out last names. Because everything is sorted by last name anyway. I suppose two people could have the same last name but the chances are low at a less busy store. That pharmacist rocks though
I know this video is a month old but I just wanna say that I absolutely love you, Gremlins United, and thank you so much for being such a safe space for those of us who need it. Much love.
19:09 Another thing about Nikolai Tesla is also the fact that he had an aversion to physical contact, he did not like touching others, nor did he want to be touched. He might've identified with the term "sex repulsed" if he were alive today.
I really appreciate these compilations. I'm not yet seeing much of these on my own TikTok but being someone currently questioning my gender and what role it plays in my life I'm so grateful to see so many different kinds of ways people can be and the kinds of experiences they have.
@@sabrinaclarus6290 Yes, I am biologically a girl, thank you for emphasizing. And They/Them pronouns aren’t fake; you use them to address people all the time! Heh, they deleted their comment. Goal achieved.
Tbh I am just so happy today :) because one of my friend told me that she was unlabeled!! And she showed me someone who was agender !! And it was amazing we talked and it made me so happy because I wanted LGBTQ+ friend since I knew I was LGBTQ+ !! My straight friend are fine but I wanted people who I could get along with about this !
Me: "And you know, being trans-" Dude from the shop next to mine: I honestly didn't register you were trans. I just thought you were like... *trails off as he realizes he might sound odd* ... Alive..." Me: thank you?
13:25 I'm not transgender, but back in 1990 I did execute a legal name change (the Canadian constitution includes that as one of our rights). I struggled to get some people to change to my new name. My place of employment was the worst. You want us to change your name on all of your records? Yes, I replied. But my friends, the only people who truly counted in my life, immediately switched to using my new name. Stop dead naming people. I saw a meme on facebook a while back which said: I hope my child realises that the name I gifted them, is a gift that can be returned. Find a name that fits you and claim it. If your government doesn't allow name changes, demand it. The name I chose for myself truly represents me far more than what my deadbeat father gave me ever did.
I recently (9-10 months ago) reconciled with my childhood bestfriend, when we were hanging out she used only they/them for me (we were with other mutual friends and were sharing stories from when we were younger), as to not assume what could have changed in the years we never talked to each other. I never corrected her. that's how I figured out I may not be cis lol
Ohhh that Marilyn video makes my little sapphoromantic asexual heart both so happy and so sad, it made me cry... representation is so important... Rest in peace, my queen 🕊
Guys please read this!!!!! It is now illegal in many states for trans minors (under the age of 18) to medically transition. These states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. And some are considering making it illegal: Hawaii, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, and Wisconsin. Stay safe yall... Love, Leo ((he/they))
3:30 this happens to me every time my bsf uses my pronouns or name right ,which is SUPER rare, and I’ll see them go like with a big smile looking at me like thy just climbed Mount Everest and they were the best allies
God I got my shit through cvs for the first ten months, it really is so embarrassing. I put my id down on the counter and they looked at it and made me say my name out loud anyway
Hey fellow queers and/or allies, does anyone know if there is an official term for using they/them pronouns but still *being* feminine aesthetically? I'm aware it probably falls under the non-binary unbrella but if there is a more specific term does anyone know it? I'm new to this as you can tell I thought I was cis until very recently.
So that’s really up to you as to what labels make you feel the most comfortable if you decide to use any at all. I would say a good way to refer to yourself would be as fem-presenting, as that term differentiates your gender presentation from your gender identity. Labels are just there to help us understand the complexities of gender and sexuality, but gender and sexuality exist on a spectrum so it’s impossible to define them definitively. I would say a good way to approach - it if you want to use labels at all - is to find something that you think fits you, you don’t have to be 100% sure about it and it can just be a way you use to describe it to people and to understand it while you’re still figuring that out. In my experience, discovering my gender identity has been a long-term process. The importance is that you feel comfortable along the way, don’t try to force yourself into any labels if they don’t feel comfortable to you, just allow yourself to experience that discovery and that process for yourself without restricting yourself by the labels that exist
Guyssss imma be honest (lil story time) I went to this mental hospital recently (not gonna give out the name) but there was this one therapist there and she has a wife and kids. Which was so cute. Plus her wife works with her at the mental hospital she just does something else than be a therapist. She used to be the therapist, but now she is not. The mental hospital I went to was very respectful. Plus most of the other adolescents there asked me what my pronouns are. So most of them have been apart of the LGBTQ, are apart of the LGBTQ, or are an ally
my deadname doesn't even make me extremely uncomfortable now I can hear it and be like that's not my name I just feel so disconnected from it that it's so weird when people call me it
Respect the ace! I have a trans girlfriend who in her current form is closer to ace and demi which may change as her body dose but that dose not mean that her labels are any less valid only that gender and sexuality can be fluid be the you you are today and welcome the you you can be when/ if your feelings change. Lables are short hand not set in stone and the only person that can define them is you. love to everyone out there whoever you are or wish to be.
Omg, I feel so bad for Marilyn now, I didn’t watch the movie blonde but I wonder how terrible it does her justice from the reveiws I’ve seen from women who say it was directed to dishonor her legacy and basically sl*t shame her, how awful
so the person at 11:00 yeah no i feel that, me with my trans coworker. god i hate him. (i use neopronouns and he and i got into a physical fight at work because of this.) i’d like to clarify he is the one who started a fight.
@@DeathnoteBB best way to describe in layman's terms is a whispered gargle in the back of your throat. Think a whispery version of a French r, if you know what that sounds like.
@@DeathnoteBB OP uses language that is used to describe speech sounds. It's based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA has symbols that each denote one specific sound that exists in human speech. For consonants you classify them by place of articulation (= where in the mouth the sound is produced) and the manner of articulation (= how it is produced; or more accurately: how is the airstream that is needed to produce any sound at all modified). So you got your uvular fricative. Uvular means the sound is created at the uvula aka that little fleshy thing dangling at the back of your mouth. So simply put a uvular fricative is produced far back in your mouth. Now what's a fricative? Fricatives get their name from the fact that they obstruct the flow of the airstream so much it causes friction (which is the sound you hear) but they don't completely stop the airstream. An example of a fricative that's quite easy to wrap your head around is the very first sound at the beginning of the word farther. For that sound you put your lower lip and your teeth together and then through the minimal space that's still left you push the air through (airstream is obstructed by the lower lip and the teeth but airstream is still pushed through, so we have friction). That's how you get that "f" sound. So for a uvular fricative what you want to do is you raise the back of your tongue kinda the same way as if you were to pronounce the "k" in the word "keep" (actually minimally further back even) and once you've positioned your tongue correctly you want to push the air through. The uvular fricative is a sound that English doesn't actually have. But it's a sound that's actually used, for example, in my native language German. So, if you want to practice this sound, listen to how native German speakers pronounce words like "Bach", "Dach", "Fach", "Krach", "Schach" etc. The uvular fricative is that sound that these words end on/the final sound (-ch). Alternatively, you can also think of the uvular fricative sort of as the sound that vampires (or cats) make when they hiss at you 🤣 I hope this was at least somewhat helpful!

I saw the "local queer person spotted dyeing their hair" one....right after I told my friend I'm split dyeing my hair for a dance. LIKE DAMN U DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL ME OUT THAT HARD!
slight rant but gender identity crisis moment !! 😍😍 im almost 100% certain im intersex and considering labeling myself as transfem but i keep getting this feeling that because im afab im not "intersex enough" to be transfem and i do not know what to do about it !!
The way that they “identify” intersex people at birth is really not all that intuitive and intersex means a lot more than what the way they categorize it biologically when identifying people at birth. So even if you were assigned female at birth it doesn’t mean you aren’t intersex, it’s just the assumption some doctor made based on warped standards. So labeling yourself as transfem is perfectly valid, if really is whatever makes you comfortable and feels like it fits you.
At my CVS they usually just call out last names. Because everything is sorted by last name anyway. I suppose two people could have the same last name but the chances are low at a less busy store. That pharmacist rocks though
I know this video is a month old but I just wanna say that I absolutely love you, Gremlins United, and thank you so much for being such a safe space for those of us who need it. Much love.
agender here, this video helped so much. my gender ran away and didn’t look both ways before crossing a highway. still mourning 😔

Another thing about Nikolai Tesla is also the fact that he had an aversion to physical contact, he did not like touching others, nor did he want to be touched. He might've identified with the term "sex repulsed" if he were alive today.
I really appreciate these compilations. I'm not yet seeing much of these on my own TikTok but being someone currently questioning my gender and what role it plays in my life I'm so grateful to see so many different kinds of ways people can be and the kinds of experiences they have.
Funny thing, this video helped me start to experiment with They/Them pronouns!
That's how programming works
Yo nice
@@user-nf9xm7is3m what
You are either a boy or a girl, whichever you were born as! So give it up with the fake pronouns!
@@sabrinaclarus6290 Yes, I am biologically a girl, thank you for emphasizing. And They/Them pronouns aren’t fake; you use them to address people all the time!
Heh, they deleted their comment. Goal achieved.
That second one called me out XD. I'm watching this as I'm waiting for my red hair dye to process lol
Tbh I am just so happy today :) because one of my friend told me that she was unlabeled!! And she showed me someone who was agender !! And it was amazing we talked and it made me so happy because I wanted LGBTQ+ friend since I knew I was LGBTQ+ !!
My straight friend are fine but I wanted people who I could get along with about this !
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS! The always make me laugh. Every time I feel sad I come here and watch a few of your videos and then I am happy again
2:19 grey ans aj !! i follow them and both are such lovely people. much love to the both of them
SALVADOR DALI WAS ACE??? I LOVE HIS ART AND IM ACE THIS IS SO COOL (ALSO MARILYN MONROE TOO!!! OMG!!)
Great comp! I'm happy to see all the aro and ace rep! I love hearing about all the famous people who were aro and/or ace.
Dyyyyying over cat mom 🤣🤣🤣
5:34 they look gorgouse and they are C O R R E C T
Me: "And you know, being trans-"
Dude from the shop next to mine: I honestly didn't register you were trans. I just thought you were like... *trails off as he realizes he might sound odd* ... Alive..."
Me: thank you?
13:25 I'm not transgender, but back in 1990 I did execute a legal name change (the Canadian constitution includes that as one of our rights). I struggled to get some people to change to my new name. My place of employment was the worst. You want us to change your name on all of your records? Yes, I replied. But my friends, the only people who truly counted in my life, immediately switched to using my new name. Stop dead naming people. I saw a meme on facebook a while back which said: I hope my child realises that the name I gifted them, is a gift that can be returned. Find a name that fits you and claim it. If your government doesn't allow name changes, demand it. The name I chose for myself truly represents me far more than what my deadbeat father gave me ever did.
I recently (9-10 months ago) reconciled with my childhood bestfriend, when we were hanging out she used only they/them for me (we were with other mutual friends and were sharing stories from when we were younger), as to not assume what could have changed in the years we never talked to each other. I never corrected her.
that's how I figured out I may not be cis lol
Dude the second video scared the shit out of me. I dyed my hair today.
1:29 OMG THATS SO ACCURATE😂 In the new Hogwarts legacy game there is a trans woman named…..Sirona Ryan💀
Thanks for this Andromeda! Love your vids :)
Thank you so much for having part 2's (etc) after the previous parts, its just really nice
The person talking about Intersex is absolutely fascinating I'm gonna follow em now
marilyn monroe likely having been an ace lesbian fills me with so much joy as an ace lesbian actor. thats my girl right there
Marilyn was ACE!! 💚🤍🖤💚🖤🤍
"Hey, is your gender running? Well, you better go catch it." I've been trying to for years. Still haven't managed to do so yet.
tysm for posting!! love this!!
Tism?
Thank you. I needed this tonight.
This makes me happy, I'm still figuring out my gender identity, hope I figure it out eventually.
Ohhh that Marilyn video makes my little sapphoromantic asexual heart both so happy and so sad, it made me cry... representation is so important... Rest in peace, my queen 🕊
seeing as u havent posted in a bit, i hope ur doing well :D
also to everyone reading this comment, have a good day! :)
ayyy Marilyn a fellow ace
That “you’re too beautiful” was very relatable. It would be more relatable if I was a girl though.
3:38 I feel like a bad person but this is still relatable when you're queer yourself 😭😭😭
Guys please read this!!!!!
It is now illegal in many states for trans minors (under the age of 18) to medically transition.
These states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
And some are considering making it illegal: Hawaii, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, and Wisconsin.
Stay safe yall...
Love,
Leo ((he/they))
I don't fit in a box, I'm the entire Amazon warehouse.
3:30 this happens to me every time my bsf uses my pronouns or name right ,which is SUPER rare, and I’ll see them go like with a big smile looking at me like thy just climbed Mount Everest and they were the best allies
God I got my shit through cvs for the first ten months, it really is so embarrassing. I put my id down on the counter and they looked at it and made me say my name out loud anyway
EVERYONE REMEMBER
Jesus had 2 dads and he became immortal 😊
Proud to be trans 🏳️⚧️
Eee I’m so happy this channel is back :D
Pro tip, if somebody has something under your dead name say that it's under your siblings name for insurance purposes
The one with the cat got me, I have a cat, APPROVED!!!
Hey fellow queers and/or allies, does anyone know if there is an official term for using they/them pronouns but still *being* feminine aesthetically? I'm aware it probably falls under the non-binary unbrella but if there is a more specific term does anyone know it?
I'm new to this as you can tell I thought I was cis until very recently.
So that’s really up to you as to what labels make you feel the most comfortable if you decide to use any at all. I would say a good way to refer to yourself would be as fem-presenting, as that term differentiates your gender presentation from your gender identity. Labels are just there to help us understand the complexities of gender and sexuality, but gender and sexuality exist on a spectrum so it’s impossible to define them definitively. I would say a good way to approach - it if you want to use labels at all - is to find something that you think fits you, you don’t have to be 100% sure about it and it can just be a way you use to describe it to people and to understand it while you’re still figuring that out. In my experience, discovering my gender identity has been a long-term process. The importance is that you feel comfortable along the way, don’t try to force yourself into any labels if they don’t feel comfortable to you, just allow yourself to experience that discovery and that process for yourself without restricting yourself by the labels that exist
Guyssss imma be honest (lil story time) I went to this mental hospital recently (not gonna give out the name) but there was this one therapist there and she has a wife and kids. Which was so cute. Plus her wife works with her at the mental hospital she just does something else than be a therapist. She used to be the therapist, but now she is not. The mental hospital I went to was very respectful. Plus most of the other adolescents there asked me what my pronouns are. So most of them have been apart of the LGBTQ, are apart of the LGBTQ, or are an ally
The one at 1:40 is so relatable, like, WHO AM I, WHY DO THIS FEEL GOOD 😭
0:44
"You have something I want."
"So do you."
"Then let us trade!"
"Ok! I agree"
Me at 9:27 being a Doctor Who fan: *don’t say it, don’t say it*
“Wobbly wobbly, timey wimey”
my deadname doesn't even make me extremely uncomfortable now I can hear it and be like that's not my name I just feel so disconnected from it that it's so weird when people call me it
That first one hit me like a bus.
15:44 I know you're grateful, but you just docxed her work location and name.
Julia (up and out comics) looks like the lady from she-hulk
Could you make a genderfluid comp? I don’t see them on YT very often, but the times I do, it’s often the same ones repeating. Have a great day/night!
yaesz
Respect the ace! I have a trans girlfriend who in her current form is closer to ace and demi which may change as her body dose but that dose not mean that her labels are any less valid only that gender and sexuality can be fluid be the you you are today and welcome the you you can be when/ if your feelings change. Lables are short hand not set in stone and the only person that can define them is you. love to everyone out there whoever you are or wish to be.
Omg, I feel so bad for Marilyn now, I didn’t watch the movie blonde but I wonder how terrible it does her justice from the reveiws I’ve seen from women who say it was directed to dishonor her legacy and basically sl*t shame her, how awful
3:22 is so wholesome and cute!
Seeing the tik tok with the historic aces made me feel seen :D
7:38 I love their work SO much❤
omg that’s me at 0:53 let’s goooo
Following people from these tiktoks, trying to make my desktop algorithm suck less!
2:53 yes I love how they used the sound from the Owl House. Which has a lesbian and bu couple in it.
so the person at 11:00 yeah no i feel that, me with my trans coworker. god i hate him. (i use neopronouns and he and i got into a physical fight at work because of this.)
i’d like to clarify he is the one who started a fight.
5:40
Your daughter is beautiful
WOOOOO INTERSEX REPRESENTATION OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY!!!!!
Anyone else have the sudden urge to change all socials and gaming tags to “estroginia Mctucksalot” ?
1:39 is the ultimate truth
I am a trans girl 🏳️⚧️
Cringe
@@homophobicgirl4292 i dont support all of that either but imagine having that as you name, that's embarrassing 🤦🏿♀️ grow tf up
hell yeah !!!
15:08 this is so nice!
ive been pronouncing in my head the xe/xim's 'x' as an uvular fricative //χe// //χim//
What is an uvular fricative and how do you pronounce it /gen
@@DeathnoteBB best way to describe in layman's terms is a whispered gargle in the back of your throat. Think a whispery version of a French r, if you know what that sounds like.
@@DeathnoteBB Like an "h" but in the back of your throat, so there's some heft to it.
@@DeathnoteBB OP uses language that is used to describe speech sounds. It's based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
The IPA has symbols that each denote one specific sound that exists in human speech.
For consonants you classify them by place of articulation (= where in the mouth the sound is produced) and the manner of articulation (= how it is produced; or more accurately: how is the airstream that is needed to produce any sound at all modified).
So you got your uvular fricative. Uvular means the sound is created at the uvula aka that little fleshy thing dangling at the back of your mouth. So simply put a uvular fricative is produced far back in your mouth.
Now what's a fricative? Fricatives get their name from the fact that they obstruct the flow of the airstream so much it causes friction (which is the sound you hear) but they don't completely stop the airstream. An example of a fricative that's quite easy to wrap your head around is the very first sound at the beginning of the word farther. For that sound you put your lower lip and your teeth together and then through the minimal space that's still left you push the air through (airstream is obstructed by the lower lip and the teeth but airstream is still pushed through, so we have friction). That's how you get that "f" sound.
So for a uvular fricative what you want to do is you raise the back of your tongue kinda the same way as if you were to pronounce the "k" in the word "keep" (actually minimally further back even) and once you've positioned your tongue correctly you want to push the air through.
The uvular fricative is a sound that English doesn't actually have. But it's a sound that's actually used, for example, in my native language German. So, if you want to practice this sound, listen to how native German speakers pronounce words like "Bach", "Dach", "Fach", "Krach", "Schach" etc. The uvular fricative is that sound that these words end on/the final sound (-ch).
Alternatively, you can also think of the uvular fricative sort of as the sound that vampires (or cats) make when they hiss at you 🤣
I hope this was at least somewhat helpful!
I love that i do it too sometimes.
