THIS is how you do lgbtq representation in media, I’ve finally found a story that does it well. Even if I am lgbtq, I not a fan of how a lot of people do representation in most media; it usually feels forced and doesn’t mix well with the series, but this is pretty much perfect. Clear, unforced, and flows naturally with the series it’s put in, both you and the writer of the story should give themselves a pat on the back for this one.
That's a rabbit hole I'd rather not get into, when it comes to the whole drawing the line thing. Though I will say that this comment reminded me of an idea I had on how LGBT+ stuff could fit into a Thomas story, which basically involved someone like Percy finding out one of the workers was basically part of the group, and pretty much going from there on how the story could go. On a side note, I'd imagine the Skarloey engines would've been a fitting place in regards to identity and dead names too, given the characters who work there.
Some engines have numbers instead of names. And some engines don't like the name that was first given to them. Glad to see that Edward is always kind and respectful.
As a trans person in a very simular situation to jane.. this story hit me hard and im so happy to see representation like this in the community. I genuinely teared up when i saw this and im very happy. Thank you for making this and happy pride!!
This was such a wonderful story omg😭👏🏽 As someone who is going through the exact same experience as Jane, I thank you & The Jolly Rancher for gifting us with such great representation.
This was quite surprising, but in a really good way. I'm not LGBTQ+, but I think it was a really nice story, and it's important to have representation and all that.
Good story. I had to go back thirty seconds and relisten on the shed scene and realise that it was not James being said but Jane. And I have had tinnitus for years so picking up similar sounds can be a challenge at times.
Just found this now, and I feel close to tears. Seriously, I relate to Jane a lot. I’ve withdrawn myself from a lot of people, even my friends. I’ve reconnected with most, and they’ve understood. Those who haven’t, I’ve simply pushed away. And even though I’m only 13, I’ve started pushing my rejecting family members away. They’ve been straight up mentally abusing me about this. Even writing this comment makes me realize how much I related to Jane here. Personally, I’m still trying to figure out whether I like Lily, Monika, or Doll the most. Okay enough emotional stuff, I just had to get this out.
This story really showed how to represent lgbtq in social media, jimmy’s writing of the story was well done, even tram engine studios did a good job for being the narrator of the story. The story was really touching and does have its moments. 🙂 Anyway, great work on the video and happy pride month. 👍 🏳️🌈
What a beautiful story I love the concept of the whole story and tbh I've changed my name to mine used to be Riley but I changed it to Ryan I think this is a wonderful story.
Nice. It makes sense, if a machine is sentient it would eventually contemplate it's existence and it's name and just like some people jane didn't like the name she was given. It is a wonderful video.
Wait? Is the Engine Trans? I'm thankful that my Name is used by both Genders so when I became Female I could keep it But thank you for showing Representation to my Community although it feels weird realizing The Trains can be Trans now.
@blazingswordsman5410 Non-binary by a Thomas youtuber called "DemonOfNowhere" (their oc Johnson) Gay from another youtuber and series I've forgotten the name of 😭
Now that is how to represent transgender folks in the Thomas and friends fandom. Now we need more stories about folks with autism. I have autism myself and I would like people to be well educated about folks like me.
@@evanclarke5561Dead naming is when you refer to someone ( usually someone who is trans) by their name before their transition. It’s okay you didn’t know. Hope this helps
@@lowcamakesstuffI will say, I have never heard of a transgender talking train before. I’m sure there are plenty of transgender folks who like this story.
When I read this story, it really hit me in the feels and I am so honoured to of provided my voice to this! Happy Pride everyone!
We stan Jane 'round these parts
What a sweet story you've made. And Happy Pride Month, too! :)
Gay repent
Pride month is stupid
@@lowcamakesstuff Jane is the vibe!!
2:45 whats the music called? cause christ its such a good score!
I'll be honest. I heard "Ja" and thought, "Oh, it's James!" And then, expectation subversion. I loved it.
that’s what I thought too.
Why James?
@@AbbeyYard cause they were the same class and had similar paint jobs.
and yes I know james wasn’t on sodor yet nor was he painted red yet.
This is genuinely the sweetest, most wholesome fan story I’ve listened to in ages. I genuinely shed a tear, this was beautiful!
This made me teary eyes. I wish I had this kind of reaction and respect.
Hey!🖐😊
I’m so glad you chose to do this - Jolly’s stories are criminally underrated, especially when it comes to being adapted. Bravo!
I could totally see Edward telling Percy this story after Percy saw some old nameplates at the works that read "John"

yo, arent you the roblox TTTE au guy?
The change in gender confused me but now I know

I cried, so proud of Jane.

could we get more jane stories in the future?
I kinda wanna see one where she meets james.
This is one of the most wholesome stories I’ve seen in quite a while!! 🥺🏳️🌈
This was such a wonderful story omg😭👏🏽

Dude, this story was so lovely. great adaption!
I can’t believe it took me this long to watch this. This is such a sweet and wholesome story, I love it!
I think it's great an engine can show their pride this way!
This was nice and wholesome. I’m happy I was wrong about it being Alled greedy’s apples
I can imagine this story being told by edward (cuz of the narrator lol)
YES. YES. YES. YES. I LOVE THIS! Amazing video!!
I KNOW
This is beautiful! I love how it's a not so subtle trans allegory! Great story and great addaptation!
As a Trans Woman, this hit deep, loved it so much!
What a sweet story! Hard to find ones like it in this fandom, wonderful acting and writing~
Also Jane is a lovely name!

Love it! I’m nonbinary myself and have been Kaidyn since June of 2023.
Genuinely Beautiful Story, Bravo
What a sweet story, best wishes for Jane! Happy pride everyone 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS

A most beautiful story. I was so moved, when she said her real name.
Also, Isn't that Lugia's Song, playing on the flute at 3:28?
This hits. 💜

Wow, a story for the red engine, that tried to push Henry out in the books! :D
Now that’s some good Trans representation right there 😊😊😊
Great work, bro! Happy Pride Month, bro!
A rather unique story, isn't it?
This story is just beautiful and wholesome! Happy Pride Everyone!
You only get one life. Do what you gotta do to live it to the fullest.
What a beautiful story I love the concept of the whole story and tbh I've changed my name to mine used to be Riley but I changed it to Ryan I think this is a wonderful story.
Really? Does this mean you’re transgender?
Can I call the red engine, John or Jane Doe? My stupidity was asking that question for some time lmao.
Jane will do
This was a very sweet coming out story! I enjoyed it a lot
Also happy pride month!
This was so sweet and wholesome, glad to see this underrated story get an adaptation. Great job!
Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️🌈
I LOVE IT
What a wonderful way to do this
0:36 who's the red/yellow traction engine?
I think it's trevor
Buster???
Nice. It makes sense, if a machine is sentient it would eventually contemplate it's existence and it's name and just like some people jane didn't like the name she was given. It is a wonderful video.
Such a lovely story if i do say so my self and best of luck to Jane and her life ahead
This is amazing man! Tbh for a second I thought this was CynicOnRails' Version lol, good job!
Wait?
Is the Engine Trans?
I'm thankful that my Name is used by both Genders so when I became Female I could keep it
But thank you for showing Representation to my Community although it feels weird realizing The Trains can be Trans now.
Don't think about it toooo hard
Great story, also Happy Pride Month.
What a great story. Like the top comment, this is a great way to have representation of LGBTQ in Thomas. Excellent job.
Such an amazing story! and an great representation! I approve!
great job on this
Well done great story
That’s beautiful 🥹
John
Johnson
Wilson
Eagle
Jane
Nice story of being who you want to be 🌈
This is genius
this is a beautiful story 👏 😭 🥹 bravo 🌈
What was the name of the theme of when Edward was talking to John/Jane
I was not expecting a trans-gender locomotive. But I really like this story and the LGBTQ representation
Hurray for jane!!!
Pride month in full swing.
A trans engine is a very interesting idea. I've seen Non binary and gay engines before but never this :)
Where have you seen non-binary and gay engines before?
@blazingswordsman5410 Non-binary by a Thomas youtuber called "DemonOfNowhere" (their oc Johnson)
Gay from another youtuber and series I've forgotten the name of 😭
@@danny4181 can you post the link of that video?
3:45 i dint know John was accely female😯
Well said Edward 😊
So that red engine is trans. Congrats.
So... Is John/Jane meant to be the James lookalike from The Sad Story of Henry?
LGBQT REPRESENTATION LETS GOOOOOOO
why does editing comments remove hearts :(
Now that is how to represent transgender folks in the Thomas and friends fandom.
Now we need more stories about folks with autism. I have autism myself and I would like people to be well educated about folks like me.
Lil words at description bottom
It's my birthday today 😀 🤪 🤗 ☺️
Happy birthday it's also my brother's birthday
@@ketelieappolon3617 happy birthday 🎂 to your brother.
Happy birthday to you 🎉😊.
but where is jane now?🤔
Wait, is John/Jane the same engine as Eagle?
It’s Jane. Don’t deadname her.
@@williamjeffries5074 huh?
@@evanclarke5561Dead naming is when you refer to someone ( usually someone who is trans) by their name before their transition. It’s okay you didn’t know. Hope this helps
@@williamjeffries5074They don’t seem to understand what they did was wrong so try to be a bit more understanding and less rude about next time.
Are they he or she? James or not? I'm so confused.
I believe their a she and go by Jane. Also James is a completely different engine.
this is so sigma
So 'he' was a 'she' all along? Maybe she pretended to be a male engine so she wouldn't get teased? Just a thought.
John oe Johnson
Trains
Is John/Jane transgender?
It's Jane and yes she is
Technically She’s Transfem
@@lowcamakesstuffI will say, I have never heard of a transgender talking train before. I’m sure there are plenty of transgender folks who like this story.
Wait a second, she? I thought she was a dude
Probably since its pride month the writer and storyteller made this specifically for it?
*TRANS*
Lol
What a sweet story. Best wishes for Jane’s future. Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️🌈
