I want to steal the “the only trans that I care about is trans dimensional corridors” & finish it with “so that I can find a dimension without transphobia in it.”
11:44 I once read about someone saying something like: "If liking trans women makes me gay because they used to be men, then logically, you liking anyone makes you a PDF file because they used to be children."
My mother is a part of this "anti seatbelt" ideals. Her view is that "The government shouldn't be able to infringe on my right to choose". Like what??? Growing up not being told to wear mine is soo weird to me now. I won't move the car with my kids until they're buckled up.
Not so fun fact: the creator of the anti seatbelt movement died on a traffic accident, a death that could've been prevented by using a seatbelt, because the other people in the car (that were using the seatbelt) didn't die
Reminds me of a dude who died on a motorbike accident while protesting against helmets being mandatory for bikers. Doctors said that he would have survived if he was wearing a helmet
How ironic. Yes they thought it was about rights, stopping government control but it was just road user safety improved knowledge on stats. Sad really.
We've all seen Gary Busey, right? He didn't used to be like that, until he got in a motorcycle crash not wearing a helmet. He was a loud opponent of the "Wear a helmet" law. He was lucky to survive, but the TBI stayed with him.
The trans island would be a great place to hold conventions, book clubs, ect, because it's scary to go to events as a genderqueer (trans, enby, Genderfluid, and more) person
It's called a library you'll be fine as long as you keep your voice down the fact that you're so weak that you can't go to a library it's kind of a you problem and not my species problem although I do not certain that you identify as human
Speaking of a trans island, I highly recommend the book The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas, which is like a cross between Percy Jackson and the Hunger Games, and is set on a fictional world in which being trans is completely normal and they even have nonbinary gods (and the main character is transmasc).
To be fair, I know some (... Well at least one) people who transitioned who were actually reasonably comfortable with their birth names and so just genderswapped the name to go with their transition. If your name isn't causing you dysphoria or w/e, if it's something you've always had and are mostly comfortable with, it's other things that bother your dysphoria, it seems to follow you could just... Nudge it a bit so it matches your presentation better.
I feminised my original name early in transition to make the whole process easier for my family and workplace, but eventually I wanted to detach from my old name completely so I picked a much more fitting feminine name. Been that way for nearly 9 years now.
@@thaddeusgenhelm8979 I didn't at all mean to fault anybody for their name choices, I just couldn't pass up the "As a Christian..." joke. Honestly, I would probably be one of the people you discussed if I wasn't cis. I'm called Chris by everyone I know and I really like the name. I dunno if it would cause me dysphoria if I was trans, but if it didn't I'd probably stick with Chris. Heck, maybe change it legally to just Kris.
@@extendoduck Oh, sure, I didn't think you sincerely were judging/faulting people for such things. Mostly it just got me thinking that while some trans people are known for choosing pretty unusual names for themselves, there are also those who keep things pretty close to where they were. I thought, you were possibly missing a bit of context I could provide at the worst. I also did not mean to fault you, just sharing a relevant perspective in case it was needed.
I'm a cis presenting NB and I've often thought of changing my name... I can understand why some trans people would feel comfortable with simply masculinizing/feminizing their birth name but personally if I had a name in my pocket and more of a motivation to change it I totally would 😅
These videos are my only way to be okay with my gender identity. I live in an environment where I'm not okay to come out yet, and you both have helped my sanity out so much. (Trans guy here)
Very happy that you've found a place to feel better. I know it's rough right now but you're so strong and can absolutely make it to a time and place where things get easier because it absolutely will
and the manly cis men has not gone extinct there, we has relied one them fighting which Russia instead of us sens the was a part of Sweden. 😆 /Swedish bi-cis-woman
unfortunately some nouns are gendered (like palomies -> fireman) but nouns in and of themselves don't have a gender (nothing like un/une, il/la, el/ella etc)
Honestly, although I’m trans, I found the Christian/Christine one really funny especially because it implies that Christine had such a successful transition that the guy never noticed anything while they were together 😂
I think the funniest thing to do in response to the attack helicopter jokes is to just take them seriously. Transphobe on twitter: "I go by att/ack/heli/copter" Me: "alright, sure, can you give me some examples of how that's conjugated in sentences?" It throws them off SO hard and then they're like "what!?" and I get to be like "what? I'm just being morally consistent. I said I'd call people what name and pronouns they want to be called, and you said yours, so"
They think that because they care about what other people do with their pronouns, everyone else is the same and will care about their pronouns, so they try to be ridiculously extreme and expect that people will finally "admit" that all neopronouns are weird and bad or something. They don't consider the idea that most people don't care all that much what pronouns anyone else is using.
I’m cis and if a “trans only dimension” existed I’d want to go with them. I’d miss too many of my friends and world of only cis people sounds boring as hell.
But surely you understand why marginalized groups deserve our own spaces that exclude those who don't share our experience of marginalization, right? For safety.
We will accept allies in the dimension, It's not the same an alli in a safe space (in a dimension that exists discrimination) that an alli in an entire friendly dimension
@@pjaypender1009 They weren't talking about safe places where people can get together for peer support. Another dimension in another world isn't the same thing...
And they'd have to keep sending kids from the "Cis" dimension because SHOCKER, most genderfluid and genderqueer people are born to cis people. I am also "of the queer" (Panromantic Ace) and I've never told my dad. Took my mom forever to understand that I have had sex and frankly, I don't like it. It's super super boring and never appealed to me. I just thought I was supposed to if I wanted to have a romantic relationship.
I'd like a cis only dimension because that would mean no one ever has to experience dysphoria or transphobia. Honestly, I'd like a dimension where no bigots or mental health problems exist in general.
I am cis straight and I don't really understand transphobia. No one is asking me to be trans or homosexual, so my body is not involved. It would be like saying I am phobic of people wearing the colour orange because I personally find it distasteful and a little nauseating. Even though I am not wearing the orange. So what am I missing? What is the why of transphobia?
It had the same logic than racism, homophobia... You're different than me, so that means I'm better than you and I don't need to accept you. The logic is that, it's irrational obviously, that's why we use the word phobia to define it "irrational fear or hate". Historically it has some rootes in religion and conservative causes, cause it defy the norm and how things should be. Cause if someone can be a trans, that make you question what makes a somone the gender they are, biology? Culture? What traits? Isn't god ho define it?
Transphobia and homophobia is very irrational and always based on "what if" scenarios that never happen. People who are hateful against people who are different from them are usually scared that it might affect them. Example: They love to claim that they are just protecting their children by hating on trans people, as if a kid would suddenly become trans if it saw a trans person (the only thing it could do is make someone realize that they werent cis to begin with and thats already a looow chance)
@@res6148if being around people molded kids into carbon copies of them, parents all over the world would be clamoring to meet with people like Marilyn vos Savant, Emma Watson, etc.
22:21 I wanna toot my friends horn. At their job, a child came in and tried to convince my friend to give them an alcoholic beverage by claiming that they "identify as 21." And my friend responded "and I identify as not impressed." 😂 I'm just in awe
Ok, so I'm a trans guy starting at an all girls school tomorrow, so I want to take this chance to say to any closeted LGBTQ+ people out there that feel stuck, you can get through this, it'll be OK. Sending virtual hugs to all ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷
Fun fact: one of the biggest anti-seatbelt activists in the US Ironically died in a car accident because he didn't wear a seatbelt the most ironic part is that everyone else in the car was wearing a seatbelt and survived
Thank goodness for this video! I just returned from a language class. A group in the class began loudly discussing how in England, Doctors are now required to ask everyone if they might be pregnant regardless of whether they looked masculine or feminine (whether this is true or not, I have no idea). They loudly brayed about how UTTERLY RIDICULOUS this notion was. I wondered whether I, a cis woman, should chime in and ask them why such a question might offend them. Is it somehow... shameful to own a womb? Is it a bad thing to be compared to a female, or to be seen in any way as feminine? What, pray tell fellows, is so bad about being seen as anything other than "man manly man man" for the five seconds it would take a Doctor to ask this important medical question that might affect the treatment some people can receive? Alas, I didn't have the nerve to interrupt them and give them the sass brewing within me. I came home silently seething and discovered you had uploaded, a lovely little pallate cleanser to make me feel better :)
Because it’s so obvious when it’s a girl or when it’s a guy! Any good doctor just looks at…uh…the bone structure and can immediately figure it out. Duh…! (Heavy sarcasm)
The funny thing about that question, that it triggers so many women already, like it is an insult to be asked if you are pregnant in a medical setting. We just wanna make sure any "possible" person we are treating is safe.
@@rainbow-iv I understand why some people might find it a painful question, especially if they're struggling with fertility or conscious about their weight. But a doctors office is the one space where it's entirely appropriate to ask that question! Sorry if people give you sass for it!
Lemme just start off by saying the following comment is complete sarcasm: Are you kidding? Who wouldn't wanna be someone who has mold in their house that is constantly telling them to post how much they hate trans people? Must be nice And this concludes the sarcastic comment
I am now thinking of all the fun I could have if I were her for a week - all the things I could say, all the good causes I could donate *large* amounts of money to .. no I reckon that could be a lot of fun! XD
We think it is weird to refuse help where the other option is death, but there have always been idiots like that. It's really bad when it is a parent choosing for a child not to get care.
My mom is anti-seat belt and her reasoning is that she has a DNR and would rather let "God take her when it's her time". She doesn't want to be in a situation where she could end up with a disability like a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. She's glad that the laws here only require children under 18 to wear seatbelts. Ironically I've had severe disabilities my entire life and she always took care of me and my medical needs while I was growing up. She also always made sure my siblings and I always wore our seatbelts. But it was the law for us to wear them when we were kids.
@@dragonfliesnh4204 Except for the medical need of not having a whole ass person always being untethered in a vehicle with them where in the case of a violent collision that person could also be a dangerous projectile. That didn't seem to be taken care of.
@@goodpeople25No, that concept never is because most of these people never understand the consequences of their actions or the ripple effects everyone nearby has on everyone else.
@@goodpeople25 yeah, you're right and I agree. She would rather increase the risk of death than be paralyzed.... She doesn't want medical care to extend her life past what it should be naturally as she's in her late 60s and "God decides when it's time for her die". I have told her many times, 60s and 70s is NOT considered that old these days. I love my mom but I disagree with a lot of her viewpoints on many things and some of her ideas don't make sense to me.
25:39 The reason transphobes attack Elliot so much is because when he was still presenting and identifying as a woman, a lot of guys found him very attractive (and like the girl next door), so I'm guessing that now that he has come out as a trans man and has transitioned, the men who found him attractive (not all, obviously) are doing their best to dehumanize him, so they won't find him attractive anymore, and so everyone else will know they don't find him attractive anymore. Of course, there's also the transphobes who are going to be like "ew, she mutilated herself," because they are upset he doesn't appeal to them anymore. Basically, Elliot is kind of the first example of a famous "actress" who men found attractive who transitioned,
I always hate when those silly people can't even categorize their arguments right. Always over bloating things past actual reason while overlooking the *real* sensible reasons us normal/sane understand.
More of an otherkin/otherheart thing, I think? IDK, there can be some overlap between otherkin and furries, but they're technically different. Either way yeah, it would be species, not gender.
With the anti-seatbelt thing, a large part of the argument was that "injuries from car accidents increased when people were forced to wear seatbelts". This was because people who don't die in a car crash often get injuries and dead people don't get counted in those injured. It's one of those situations where people can easily twist facts to tell a different story, in this case "seatbelts cause injuries"
Head injuries went up when the army started wearing helmets. Same reason: dead people weren't counted among the injured, and the protective gear, in many cases, reduced lethal damage to sub-lethal.

@@Mar_Selcouth But the US is the WHOLE world!! /s It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine that many Americans constantly forget or ignore that other countries exists and things aren't the same everywhere like it is where they live. Even in the US laws and processes varies from state to state, which they also conveniently ignore. Most people on social media including YT aren't in the US, including Jamie and OT!
@@Mar_Selcouth many other nations (especially in western europe) financially benefitted from the confederacy and its slave economy. The Confederacy also eventually had imperialist plans to conquer the caribbean, Central america, and South America to expand their slave plantations. Even if you're not american, it's probably still in your best interest to encourage Americans to vote. Unfortunately, being one of the world superpowers means that our country's failures don't just effect us.
I finally came out publicly to my aunt, despite getting the expected transphobic response. I'm grown & live by myself, I shouldn't fear being disowned. Surprisingly, she didn't disown me, but just went the "pray the gay away" route.

Heres a thought. "Pursuit of happiness" is constitutional in the usa. If happiness is undefined as a specific set of ideals, than the pursuit of happiness as defined by the individual is valid. There for if happiness for you is changing your gender , or any other aspect of your physical body , than it is also constitutionally valid unalienable right.
@@roundhouse2616 no clue, probably because those who proclaim "constitutionalism" are often on the opposite side of the discussion when it comes to trans rights. But you are welcome to bring that discussion the forefront. I guess i just come from a weird place who just considers trans rights just a fundamental autonomy right of what one has right over their own body, whether for transitioning, or any cosmetic medical procedure.
I've seen this pointed out before. A very conservative-looking farmer in his 70s at least, saying in that southern drawl that "If Joe down the road feels he'll be happier wearing a dress and being called Jane, then that's her pursuit of happiness and the constitution supports her." I don't remember the exact words of the quote, but it was gorgeous and deserves to be seen a whole lot more.
10:10 I've actually seen this before as an "accidental ally" thing, since the only way this situation could take place is if she passes perfectly-thus confirming that they actually CAN'T "always tell"!
23:01 Fun fact, Adam didn't just give birth to Eve. In the original translation, Eve didn't come from the rib of Adam, but from the side of Adam. God freaking split Adam in half like an amoeba to make two people.
Can confirm. As an Uber driver currently, I'd say about 80% of passengers don't buckle up. I had one sit up front just last night where my car has a weight sensor- I asked him to buckle so we didn't have to hear the car scream for 15 minutes straight. Dude did this weird contortionist thing to pass the belt behind himself and click in it without it being over him at all. While holding things. So he dropped them. And it took way longer and way more effort than just buckling it properly. It's insanity.
@animeartist888 While there are definitely some who no doubt do that because they don’t like or want to use a seat belt, there are probably more than a few who do it out of general caution of getting into a car with a stranger 😅 one less barrier to unlocking and opening the door and rolling out if something goes awry.
I have a tab on my phone open at all times that shows a comprehensive list of all the over 120 pronouns existent in the English language. You know just in case 😅
Oh, fun fact! The Alex Jones "they're turning the friggin frogs gay" meme comes from Alex Jones reading something about frogs changing gender. So, the original meme is already transphobic.
Well, the idea is (and I've heard it might be true) that when frogs are close to contaminated water they change their sex to one (can't remember which) and they still copulate, thus making them gay.
The funny thing for me here, is that my former father-in-law was born in Transylvania. And two of his grandkids (2 of my kids) are trans. Coincidence? Yes.
I’m a young trans boy and I haven’t told my parents or anyone but seeing your journey has really inspired me to go down the same path that you did cuz just looking how successful it was for you makes me want to do the same thing when I’m older thank you for sharing your story
OT's comment at the end about the "facts don't care about your feelings crowd sure do have a lot of feelings." I know right? And they never have any facts!
25:58 It was discovered that the water wasn't turning the frogs gay necessarily. It was turning the frogs intersex & may have given them fluid sexuality. As Jeff Goldblum said, "nature finds a way".
The first meme reminds me of a comment I saw on a homophobic news article that went something like "if someone comes up to me with his or her pronouns, i tell them i dont do pronouns... i do adjectives." It was so funny it had to be fake but judging from the commenters replies to other comments on the article I can say that it's real
7:47 Transphobes love to say things like "There are more important things in life than your pronouns!" and fail to realize the irony of their statement. Like yeah, there ARE more important things than my pronouns, so you should just respect them in order to not start an argument over something as trivial as which three-letter word I use to describe myself lol. If we're so unimportant, then let us keep doing what we wanna do!
Yes, there was an anti-seatbelt movement. kinda tapered out in the 80s. There was a whole string of commercials about the consequences. I remember one with a woman saying she didn't want to wear a seatbelt because it would wrinkle her dress. cut to her in a wheelchair with a vacant look on her face as a caregiver is adjusting her dress, commenting how we don't want it to be wrinkled. Very heavy handed. but, it was the 80s. also was an anti-motorcycle-helmet movement.
…and in homophobia, since the bigots all think, "trans woman == f@gG0t-inna-dress." Plus, as noted s3x- and relationship-advice columnist, Dan Savage, often says, "Homophobia is Misogyny's snot-nosed little brother. Where you see one, the other isn't far away."
They are being both misogynistic to trans women and cis women lol. They make cis women seem weak and make trans women seem predatory and evil. Let's face it they aren't protecting any women they just want someone to hate on
i really like little miss sunshine toooooo but for me a big part is that it's so rare to see a non-speaking or semi-verbal character as a semi-verbal person myself, i can usually talk (but not all the words, i can't verbally talk about certain subjects or swear out loud, for example) but sometimes i go completely nonverbal for days, weeks, or even months at a time
R/196 is a subreddit where if you go in there you have to post a meme to it before you leave. It started out as an in-joke with a bunch of college roommates and 196 was their flat number
21:28 In my experience this actually works. I went to my parents one day saying that I might be a guy, and they said you can’t switch genders. And guess what the next day I was a girl! Didn’t fix the whole being genderfluid thing though.
Valid. Genderfluid isn't "switching genders" - feeling and expressing one and then another is just normal for being genderfluid. Like a lilypad that sways one way and another in a shifting current, the root of your identity isn't moving. I hope your parents get to accepting this soon. They're missing out on so much while they resist reality!

@@kevinturner9549Friendly reminder: The dictionary that Kevin Turner is using for his definition of a woman is Oxford Languages The same dictionary with these definitions: GENDER 1. the male sex or the female sex, especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones, or one of a range of other identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female SEX 2. either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions GENDER IDENTITY a person's innate sense of their gender (chiefly used in contexts where it is contrasted with the sex registered for them at birth).

24:34 Exactly! She could have just retired as a beloved children’s author despite some of the uh… questionable themes. But by trying to insert herself in conversations and “debates” she knows nothing about, she chose to absolutely destroy her legacy. For as long as people remember who she is, there will always be an asterisk next to her name with a terf footnote and she has no one to blame but herself. 500 years from now her biography will read “popular author of the 21st century fictional series, Harry Potter, and outspoken opponent of transgender rights. She faced a number lawsuits later in life due to her vocal attacks on minority groups”. Am I am petty enough to hope that haunts her.
Hey Jamie! I bought the book a few days ago and it got here! I’m so excited to start reading! I too am Transmasc, and I bought it to help clear my head, and let my relatives read it to help show them what it means to be trans and how to help support me, because I suck at explaining stuff! 😅
12:37 I just want to add that one of the more recent anti seatbelt people, Derek Kieper, actually met his end because he was ejected from a vehicle. The other passengers, who were wearing their seatbelts, were fine. BUT, not many have the privilege of going out doing what they believed in. Sooo, good for him, I guess.
10:18 hi jamie great video 😁 trans man here but that just totally gave me a flashback to being a 3/4 year old child who had a doll that was called Chris because sometimes they were called Christine but most of the time they were called Christopher, if toddler me was trying to explain being transgender in this way then why the hell did it take me until I was 30 to start transitioning ffs 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
The bathroom thing as someone who is gender non conforming is so frustrating. I won't use gendered bathrooms. I'd rather hold it. Because if I go into the men's, I have an obviously larger chest. I also have a beard and a masculine voice, so am worried about going into the women's. Just why can't people pee?!
My local city replaced all their old gendered public toilet blocks with a new design: fully ambulant, left access ambulant, right access ambulant, fully accessible. All four doors open onto a verandah that is visible to passing traffic, so if we ever get one of those weirdos that hides in public toilets waiting to assault people, there's a fair chance someone walking or driving past will see it happen. And if four cis women or four cis men arrive to use the toilets at the same time, we don't have two people waiting in a queue while two toilets go unused because they're the "wrong gender." The best trans-inclusive upgrades are the ones that make the world better for cis people too. Those are the ones that will get the most support and be replicated most widely. I hope your local authorities catch on soon.
The best thing about South Park is that it goes after EVERYTHING it finds stupid in the media, whenever South Park does it, they are making fun of it, and i love it

The funniest part about this is I've watched OT and Jamie for years, recently I figured out I was trans and it was surprising that Jamie was as well. All this to say, it's not as big of a deal as some make it to be socially and it's okay to be yourself. Value your own happiness.
I've been a proponent of single-occupancy washrooms for a long time (Or communal ones that are all-stalls, but I had honestly never thought about the situation in small men's washrooms (20:23) that would have 1-2 urinals and then a single stall and how that could be difficult for the trans guys. Appreciate the new perspective, Jamie! Thank you. :)
Jaime's stunned reaction to finding out Americans used to loudly protest mandatory seat-belts kind of says it all about how persistently Americans can be.

The conversation about the one joke suddenly made me think of something: We have a saying in Dutch "I'm not crazy, I'm an airplane" (meaning something along the lines of "yes, I am goofy/weird/crazy"). This has/had nothing to do with being trans or anything, but it does show that the transphobes are crazy

"I want to choose- unfortunately for us all I choose the riskiest option possible"
its not just crash safety its chaos control
Not so fun fact: the creator of the anti seatbelt movement died on a traffic accident, a death that could've been prevented by using a seatbelt, because the other people in the car (that were using the seatbelt) didn't die
Reminds me of a dude who died on a motorbike accident while protesting against helmets being mandatory for bikers.
Doctors said that he would have survived if he was wearing a helmet
How ironic. Yes they thought it was about rights, stopping government control but it was just road user safety improved knowledge on stats. Sad really.
We've all seen Gary Busey, right? He didn't used to be like that, until he got in a motorcycle crash not wearing a helmet. He was a loud opponent of the "Wear a helmet" law. He was lucky to survive, but the TBI stayed with him.

May I clarify the acronym you meant with TBI?
The trans island would be a great place to hold conventions, book clubs, ect, because it's scary to go to events as a genderqueer (trans, enby, Genderfluid, and more) person
It's called a library you'll be fine as long as you keep your voice down the fact that you're so weak that you can't go to a library it's kind of a you problem and not my species problem although I do not certain that you identify as human

They should take the name of the ocean it's in for the name, like Trans Atlantic, or Trans Pacific or whatever.
Speaking of a trans island, I highly recommend the book The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas, which is like a cross between Percy Jackson and the Hunger Games, and is set on a fictional world in which being trans is completely normal and they even have nonbinary gods (and the main character is transmasc).
srry for being pedantic but trans isn't inherently genderqueer and often isn't
AS A CHRISTIAN...
I think I'd pick something more divergent than Christine if I were to change my name, but you do you girl.
To be fair, I know some (... Well at least one) people who transitioned who were actually reasonably comfortable with their birth names and so just genderswapped the name to go with their transition. If your name isn't causing you dysphoria or w/e, if it's something you've always had and are mostly comfortable with, it's other things that bother your dysphoria, it seems to follow you could just... Nudge it a bit so it matches your presentation better.
I feminised my original name early in transition to make the whole process easier for my family and workplace, but eventually I wanted to detach from my old name completely so I picked a much more fitting feminine name. Been that way for nearly 9 years now.
@@thaddeusgenhelm8979 I didn't at all mean to fault anybody for their name choices, I just couldn't pass up the "As a Christian..." joke.
Honestly, I would probably be one of the people you discussed if I wasn't cis. I'm called Chris by everyone I know and I really like the name. I dunno if it would cause me dysphoria if I was trans, but if it didn't I'd probably stick with Chris. Heck, maybe change it legally to just Kris.
@@extendoduck Oh, sure, I didn't think you sincerely were judging/faulting people for such things. Mostly it just got me thinking that while some trans people are known for choosing pretty unusual names for themselves, there are also those who keep things pretty close to where they were.
I thought, you were possibly missing a bit of context I could provide at the worst. I also did not mean to fault you, just sharing a relevant perspective in case it was needed.
I'm a cis presenting NB and I've often thought of changing my name... I can understand why some trans people would feel comfortable with simply masculinizing/feminizing their birth name but personally if I had a name in my pocket and more of a motivation to change it I totally would 😅
These videos are my only way to be okay with my gender identity. I live in an environment where I'm not okay to come out yet, and you both have helped my sanity out so much.

Me: "alright, sure, can you give me some examples of how that's conjugated in sentences?"
It throws them off SO hard and then they're like "what!?" and I get to be like "what? I'm just being morally consistent. I said I'd call people what name and pronouns they want to be called, and you said yours, so"
They probably don't understand what conjugated means and think it's something sexual.
@@wintergray1221 exactly. Milk their stupidity, it's hilarious
They think that because they care about what other people do with their pronouns, everyone else is the same and will care about their pronouns, so they try to be ridiculously extreme and expect that people will finally "admit" that all neopronouns are weird and bad or something. They don't consider the idea that most people don't care all that much what pronouns anyone else is using.
I’m cis and if a “trans only dimension” existed I’d want to go with them. I’d miss too many of my friends and world of only cis people sounds boring as hell.
But surely you understand why marginalized groups deserve our own spaces that exclude those who don't share our experience of marginalization, right? For safety.
We will accept allies in the dimension, It's not the same an alli in a safe space (in a dimension that exists discrimination) that an alli in an entire friendly dimension
@@pjaypender1009 They weren't talking about safe places where people can get together for peer support. Another dimension in another world isn't the same thing...
And they'd have to keep sending kids from the "Cis" dimension because SHOCKER, most genderfluid and genderqueer people are born to cis people. I am also "of the queer" (Panromantic Ace) and I've never told my dad. Took my mom forever to understand that I have had sex and frankly, I don't like it. It's super super boring and never appealed to me. I just thought I was supposed to if I wanted to have a romantic relationship.
I'd like a cis only dimension because that would mean no one ever has to experience dysphoria or transphobia. Honestly, I'd like a dimension where no bigots or mental health problems exist in general.
I am cis straight and I don't really understand transphobia. No one is asking me to be trans or homosexual, so my body is not involved. It would be like saying I am phobic of people wearing the colour orange because I personally find it distasteful and a little nauseating. Even though I am not wearing the orange. So what am I missing? What is the why of transphobia?
There is no "why" is the thing, it is inherently irrational
It had the same logic than racism, homophobia...
You're different than me, so that means I'm better than you and I don't need to accept you. The logic is that, it's irrational obviously, that's why we use the word phobia to define it "irrational fear or hate".
Historically it has some rootes in religion and conservative causes, cause it defy the norm and how things should be. Cause if someone can be a trans, that make you question what makes a somone the gender they are, biology? Culture? What traits? Isn't god ho define it?
Transphobia and homophobia is very irrational and always based on "what if" scenarios that never happen.
People who are hateful against people who are different from them are usually scared that it might affect them.
Example:
They love to claim that they are just protecting their children by hating on trans people, as if a kid would suddenly become trans if it saw a trans person (the only thing it could do is make someone realize that they werent cis to begin with and thats already a looow chance)
@@res6148if being around people molded kids into carbon copies of them, parents all over the world would be clamoring to meet with people like Marilyn vos Savant, Emma Watson, etc.

Thank goodness for this video! I just returned from a language class. A group in the class began loudly discussing how in England, Doctors are now required to ask everyone if they might be pregnant regardless of whether they looked masculine or feminine (whether this is true or not, I have no idea). They loudly brayed about how UTTERLY RIDICULOUS this notion was. I wondered whether I, a cis woman, should chime in and ask them why such a question might offend them. Is it somehow... shameful to own a womb? Is it a bad thing to be compared to a female, or to be seen in any way as feminine? What, pray tell fellows, is so bad about being seen as anything other than "man manly man man" for the five seconds it would take a Doctor to ask this important medical question that might affect the treatment some people can receive? Alas, I didn't have the nerve to interrupt them and give them the sass brewing within me. I came home silently seething and discovered you had uploaded, a lovely little pallate cleanser to make me feel better :)
Because it’s so obvious when it’s a girl or when it’s a guy! Any good doctor just looks at…uh…the bone structure and can immediately figure it out. Duh…! (Heavy sarcasm)
Every time you think it, you're rehearsing. Eventually you will have the practice behind you to say it out loud.
The funny thing about that question, that it triggers so many women already, like it is an insult to be asked if you are pregnant in a medical setting. We just wanna make sure any "possible" person we are treating is safe.

We think it is weird to refuse help where the other option is death, but there have always been idiots like that. It's really bad when it is a parent choosing for a child not to get care.
"it should be my right to stand in traffic with my children!"
My mom is anti-seat belt and her reasoning is that she has a DNR and would rather let "God take her when it's her time". She doesn't want to be in a situation where she could end up with a disability like a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. She's glad that the laws here only require children under 18 to wear seatbelts.
Ironically I've had severe disabilities my entire life and she always took care of me and my medical needs while I was growing up. She also always made sure my siblings and I always wore our seatbelts. But it was the law for us to wear them when we were kids.

25:39 The reason transphobes attack Elliot so much is because when he was still presenting and identifying as a woman, a lot of guys found him very attractive (and like the girl next door), so I'm guessing that now that he has come out as a trans man and has transitioned, the men who found him attractive (not all, obviously) are doing their best to dehumanize him, so they won't find him attractive anymore, and so everyone else will know they don't find him attractive anymore. Of course, there's also the transphobes who are going to be like "ew, she mutilated herself," because they are upset he doesn't appeal to them anymore. Basically, Elliot is kind of the first example of a famous "actress" who men found attractive who transitioned,
when i first heard about the "attack helicopter" thing, I replied with "isn't that more of a fursona kind of thing? cause species, not gender"
TDIL the AH-64 Apache/she is gender neutral
would be more like objectkin
I always hate when those silly people can't even categorize their arguments right. Always over bloating things past actual reason while overlooking the *real* sensible reasons us normal/sane understand.
Gonna make an attack helicopter based furry character now lol
More of an otherkin/otherheart thing, I think? IDK, there can be some overlap between otherkin and furries, but they're technically different. Either way yeah, it would be species, not gender.
With the anti-seatbelt thing, a large part of the argument was that "injuries from car accidents increased when people were forced to wear seatbelts".
This was because people who don't die in a car crash often get injuries and dead people don't get counted in those injured.
It's one of those situations where people can easily twist facts to tell a different story, in this case "seatbelts cause injuries"
Head injuries went up when the army started wearing helmets. Same reason: dead people weren't counted among the injured, and the protective gear, in many cases, reduced lethal damage to sub-lethal.
@@awfuldynne so you're saing army helmets are dangerous!!!

Heres a thought. "Pursuit of happiness" is constitutional in the usa. If happiness is undefined as a specific set of ideals, than the pursuit of happiness as defined by the individual is valid. There for if happiness for you is changing your gender , or any other aspect of your physical body , than it is also constitutionally valid unalienable right.
Hey wait you're right, why haven't I seen anyone point this out before??
@@roundhouse2616 no clue, probably because those who proclaim "constitutionalism" are often on the opposite side of the discussion when it comes to trans rights. But you are welcome to bring that discussion the forefront. I guess i just come from a weird place who just considers trans rights just a fundamental autonomy right of what one has right over their own body, whether for transitioning, or any cosmetic medical procedure.
I've seen this pointed out before. A very conservative-looking farmer in his 70s at least, saying in that southern drawl that "If Joe down the road feels he'll be happier wearing a dress and being called Jane, then that's her pursuit of happiness and the constitution supports her."

"there was an anti seatbelt movement" oh Jammi there was is and will be
Can confirm. As an Uber driver currently, I'd say about 80% of passengers don't buckle up. I had one sit up front just last night where my car has a weight sensor- I asked him to buckle so we didn't have to hear the car scream for 15 minutes straight. Dude did this weird contortionist thing to pass the belt behind himself and click in it without it being over him at all. While holding things. So he dropped them. And it took way longer and way more effort than just buckling it properly. It's insanity.
@animeartist888 While there are definitely some who no doubt do that because they don’t like or want to use a seat belt, there are probably more than a few who do it out of general caution of getting into a car with a stranger 😅 one less barrier to unlocking and opening the door and rolling out if something goes awry.
The "you can't tell me what to do!" movement in the US right now knows no bounds, and common sense is one of the first things they stopped.
I still remember how one anti-seatbelt advocate died because he got into an accident that would’ve been survivable had he worn his damn seatbelt.

So, the original meme is already transphobic.
Well, the idea is (and I've heard it might be true) that when frogs are close to contaminated water they change their sex to one (can't remember which) and they still copulate, thus making them gay.

If we're so unimportant, then let us keep doing what we wanna do!
Yes, there was an anti-seatbelt movement. kinda tapered out in the 80s. There was a whole string of commercials about the consequences. I remember one with a woman saying she didn't want to wear a seatbelt because it would wrinkle her dress. cut to her in a wheelchair with a vacant look on her face as a caregiver is adjusting her dress, commenting how we don't want it to be wrinkled. Very heavy handed. but, it was the 80s.
also was an anti-motorcycle-helmet movement.

To me, the hatred aimed at trans-women is also rooted in misogyny.
…and in homophobia, since the bigots all think, "trans woman == f@gG0t-inna-dress."
Plus, as noted s3x- and relationship-advice columnist, Dan Savage, often says, "Homophobia is Misogyny's snot-nosed little brother. Where you see one, the other isn't far away."
Of course. Everything in Nazism boils down to two threads: racism and misogyny.
It basically is the same thing. Transphobia is using the exact same logic and ideologies as sexism.
They are being both misogynistic to trans women and cis women lol. They make cis women seem weak and make trans women seem predatory and evil. Let's face it they aren't protecting any women they just want someone to hate on

Valid. Genderfluid isn't "switching genders" - feeling and expressing one and then another is just normal for being genderfluid. Like a lilypad that sways one way and another in a shifting current, the root of your identity isn't moving.

500 years from now her biography will read “popular author of the 21st century fictional series, Harry Potter, and outspoken opponent of transgender rights. She faced a number lawsuits later in life due to her vocal attacks on minority groups”.
Am I am petty enough to hope that haunts her.
Hey Jamie! I bought the book a few days ago and it got here! I’m so excited to start reading! I too am Transmasc, and I bought it to help clear my head, and let my relatives read it to help show them what it means to be trans and how to help support me, because I suck at explaining stuff! 😅
12:37 I just want to add that one of the more recent anti seatbelt people, Derek Kieper, actually met his end because he was ejected from a vehicle. The other passengers, who were wearing their seatbelts, were fine.
BUT, not many have the privilege of going out doing what they believed in. Sooo, good for him, I guess.
The collabs between you two are always the best.
10:18 hi jamie great video 😁 trans man here but that just totally gave me a flashback to being a 3/4 year old child who had a doll that was called Chris because sometimes they were called Christine but most of the time they were called Christopher, if toddler me was trying to explain being transgender in this way then why the hell did it take me until I was 30 to start transitioning ffs 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
Sometimes it takes a long time for the truth to get out past all the conditioning. The important part is that you get there eventually
The bathroom thing as someone who is gender non conforming is so frustrating. I won't use gendered bathrooms. I'd rather hold it. Because if I go into the men's, I have an obviously larger chest. I also have a beard and a masculine voice, so am worried about going into the women's. Just why can't people pee?!
My local city replaced all their old gendered public toilet blocks with a new design: fully ambulant, left access ambulant, right access ambulant, fully accessible. All four doors open onto a verandah that is visible to passing traffic, so if we ever get one of those weirdos that hides in public toilets waiting to assault people, there's a fair chance someone walking or driving past will see it happen. And if four cis women or four cis men arrive to use the toilets at the same time, we don't have two people waiting in a queue while two toilets go unused because they're the "wrong gender."
The best trans-inclusive upgrades are the ones that make the world better for cis people too. Those are the ones that will get the most support and be replicated most widely.
I hope your local authorities catch on soon.
The best thing about South Park is that it goes after EVERYTHING it finds stupid in the media, whenever South Park does it, they are making fun of it, and i love it
Basically saying, it is mocking transphobia and I think that makes me do the giggles :>
@@VespidsHoney yes exactly! it is mocking TRANSPHOBIA not TRANS PEOPLE. there are farrrrr too many people who don't get this.
21:47
I used to also think the "attack helicopter" bit was a non gendered option before i knew too much about the trans community.
Like, ah, im not a man or women, im a rock
Turns out I was an autistic trans man, and thats why i vibed with my gender being a rock as opposed to "girl"
You vibed more with being an inanimate object than being a human?
@@SuperJJParkeryh. Some folks feel that way gender wise. It's not new and is not uncommon among neurodivergent (esp autistic) individuals
@@SuperJJParker It happens sometimes
@@ombrenightcores It's ridiculous
@@SuperJJParker I mean, who wants to be a human all the time? Like what if you get a really bad migraine? Wouldn’t you much rather be an object without a brain that _doesn’t_ get migraines?
Hey thank you for all the amazing content that I can binge while I heal from my bottom surgery. I have been enjoying it a lot. ❤
I hope youre not in too much pain.
21:22 not the Andy Griffin show😭 my grandparents watch it all the time and Andy is such a supportive father, even when his kid gets into trouble he helps him understand why it was bad. There was even one episode where they worked togeather to make the house clean for when Aunt Bee got home, but they realized that she would feel not needed if the house was clean(she takes care of the house) so they trashed it and she was just happy to go and help them, it was pretty sweet
My oldest daughter is Korean, and she was 2 when monsters Inc came out. She loved that movie. This year for Halloween she's going as Boo and it's so cute I wanna cry
The funniest part about this is I've watched OT and Jamie for years, recently I figured out I was trans and it was surprising that Jamie was as well. All this to say, it's not as big of a deal as some make it to be socially and it's okay to be yourself. Value your own happiness.
When are you going to do another video with The Click? You guys could do a three way!
I've been a proponent of single-occupancy washrooms for a long time (Or communal ones that are all-stalls, but I had honestly never thought about the situation in small men's washrooms (20:23) that would have 1-2 urinals and then a single stall and how that could be difficult for the trans guys.
Appreciate the new perspective, Jamie! Thank you. :)
Single occupancy, real doors and walls, and non-gendered.
Imagine saying with your whole chest that you’re a bigot 😂
I came out to my dad yesterday after watching the first half of this and I’m finishing it this morning lol
Crazy title
i got whiplash from getting the notification
Jaime's stunned reaction to finding out Americans used to loudly protest mandatory seat-belts kind of says it all about how persistently Americans can be.
Honestly would be harder to believe if Americans didn't also protest both times we've had bad outbreaks
The US chose to drive on the right-hand side of the road purely to be different to the UK, which has been driving on the left-hand side since the time of the Romans. Yes, the US is that contrarian.
@@tealkerberus748 We also kept the imperial system even though the metric system turned out better. Both introduced by the British but the British switched so Americans stayed.
This wasn't just an American thing - there's BBC archive footage of people complaining from when the laws were introduced in the UK too.
@@hannahk1306 I'm guessing that footage was archived because in the UK people are more ashamed of that history.
OT and Jamie together again?! Well, this made my day better. And "Gayest Movie" definitely needs to be an Academy Award category.
The conversation about the one joke suddenly made me think of something: We have a saying in Dutch "I'm not crazy, I'm an airplane" (meaning something along the lines of "yes, I am goofy/weird/crazy"). This has/had nothing to do with being trans or anything, but it does show that the transphobes are crazy
I SAW SOMEBODY ON TWITTER LOWKEY SAID BEING TRANS IS "de-gaying" SOMEBOWY (I argued and she decided to quit arguing because I showed that she was wrong)
How? How is it "de-gaying" anyone? 9/10th of the trans people I know are non-straight, including me.
They don't know about gay trans people? Weird they'd admit their ignorance so openly.
@@pjaypender1009 It was because if they didn't transition, the straight trans people would be gay...not even joking. She also thought trans people can't still be gay. It was so weird, but seeing her claw at the fact that I'm not queer (sexuality-wise) because I'm trans was funny.

Gotta love another Jamie and OT collab!
My friend got the chance to attend your book signing, and he said you were amazing! I really enjoyed reading your book, and I also really enjoy watching your videos. :D
I subscribed just so I can understand. Growing up I was allowed to go to school, be the house keeper, and my mom's caregiver.
And now there's a whole world of beautiful people living their best lives, and we get to watch and cheer them on. If the goal is for every generation to be an improvement on the generation before, I'm confident the young people are doing that.
I am watching this video with my Blahaj (who I named Jo, as it's a nonbinary name and Jo is nonbinary), who is the large size.
Looking forward to watching the video!
Bakana, my haj, waves her fin at Jo xxx
SPUDS!
Also... not me still wondering who's sub receipt was on OT's printer during this entire collab.
Just a reminder to have your daily dose of dinosaur appreciation. Go on, appreciate them
Fun fact about Boo!
The actress who played her was a little older (I believe she was 4 at the time) and she is indeed an adult, but she is also on youtube! I saw a video in my recommended page from her. I lost it when the screen refreshed (curse you youtube!).
Man I relate to that movie about the guy having a dream to become a fighter pilot. I had pretty much the exact same thing happen to me for a different medical condition
As an elder trans man with a high voice, the phrase that won't go away is "uncle granny." 😂 I don't hate it, NGL.
I agree with Jamie on that OT has an older sibling vibe and I absolutely love him for that!! 🥰🏳️⚧️🥰
