Professional baby goat cuddler! 🐐🐐🐐 (Actually saw a job listing for this in my area. The farmers were worried about orphaned or rejected babies from the flocks not thriving so they hired people to come give them love and affection.)
My fellow Americans, I am tired. I know you are too. I'm also sad, scared, and angry. Take the time to feel these things, and whatever else you may be feeling. But then we have to get up and fight harder than ever. We will not let them take our rights away. Never ever stop fighting.
It's nice to have a distraction after the election results. I had a panic attack yesterday and I haven't been able to sleep. My friend and I are getting the heck out of here ASAP. Maybe to Puerto Rico.
Coming from a concerned cis American, I just want to assure any fellow Americans here who feel scared or threatened(which is totally valid and I can relate), that we WILL get through this. We will protect our own, we will carve out a safe place for our trans and Lgbtq+ friends and family and, we will protect our rights as citizens. Hold on my friends, for there are still many great and wonderful people in this country who will love and accept you, and though we may have lost this battle, we have not lost the war.
We won't, this is legitimately the end of everything. The economy is going to tank again, Russia and China will do whatever they want without being checked, the civil rights of every non WASP-SWM are going into the toilet...
exactly the same thing for me. i’ve lived in the same house my whole life and i am so emotionally attached to it. my late dad built it by himself and the fact that im going to have to up and move and leave my house, my neighborhood, my city that i love so much, my best friend who i’ve known since i was 4, to a complete different continent (we already know where we are going cause my dad is from there and we have a bunch of family there) is breaking me. im sorry for the rant but i said all this because i wanted to let you know that your comment makes me happy that we are in this together. even though i dont wish this upon anyone, its the reality of this country so i wish you the BEST!!!! i am binging jamie vids to cope today 😭🫶
@ I’m in New York I can confirm that unless you’re in the country areas I believe you’ll be safe maybe, personally I like the country and even in the country. I’ve heard a lot of good things a lot of acceptance less than I would like still acceptance
Remember: even after everything that has happened, you matter. Your identity matters. We'll carve out a safe place for us and make sure you take care of the people around you, too. I'm scared but we have a community! I can't say it'll be okay but you are not alone.
I’m having a bad day and needed this Have been going through a job application process since June , had lots of online tests and assessments and back and fourth and had my in person interview yesterday before offered the job offer and I got an email today to say that the position is closed I have never thought I have been directly discriminated in this way before for being trans (trust me, I’ve felt it other ways) but I am 99.9% sure, this is cos I’m trans and that hurts Thank you for the channel being a safe place
That's so bad, I'm sorry that happened to you. I always get worried that saying I'm autistic on an application (if they ask) will make me seem less desirable than other candidates (and it might be because I've never had a job before) but discriminating against you just because you're trans is so wrong :(
Thank you & I know , I’m honestly shocked. Foresight= it has turned out that this company would NOT be a safe space for me to work in but being assigned female at birth does not impact my ability to do a job. How frustrating
I have this debate with my friends a lot , on the equal opportunity form it asks your gender identity and I’m so proud of being trans and so open to discuss it but personally , I feel a stronger affirmation to the male gender identity than trans man and I use male and they’re supportive of me but tell me I should use trans man and not male because male is for cis , that blows my mind I hope you don’t have to hide or internalise as a result of that !
I'm so sorry you've had this experience. It does sound as if you dodged a bullet, as they say, but it still hurts. Wishing you a much more supportive and affirming workplace in the future x

jamie you’re literally so awesome for posting a video after the terrible election results…i really don’t like worrying about my rights being taken away…

For granny: my wife's grandmother (in her 90s) was so proud of her great- grandchild who was from a pair of trans people. She lived in a retirement home and told everyone not to be bigots. She is missed (passed during the pandemic) including by her non-binary great-grandchild.
I'm from Russia, and I was so angry and frustrated when I woke up and saw the news about the election results. It makes me really sad when I think about the fact that a lot of trans and queer people are now will be facing a lot of similar problems just as we do now (especially in the conservative states). I hope you'll be okay there.

All I need to say here is the surname Page. Pre-transition Page was gorgeous. Post-transition Elliot Page is run-of-the-mill average, but happier. That last is what matters much more than outward appearance
I think seeing queer people existing, living a happy life feeling good about themselves is my new favourite thing. Also, the stand-up comedian with the powerpoint presentation was really funny. I missed what her handle was, did anyone catch it?
Hi Jammie, So Trump won the Presidential Election in America. I’m not sure what to do- I’m a young enby teen, and even before the election me and my family have been struggling a lot with the public school I’m in. Now, on top of the transphobic laws we have to find work arounds for, the tangerine got elected as president, for the next 4 years. I’m still kind of in shock. I’d been trying not to be hopeful, because I knew this could happen… but getting the news that Trump won the day after voting day is really hard. I’m going to be 18 when his term runs out. Its really scary. I don’t want to spend my teenage years with Trump as a president. My family and friends (online and the few irl ones I have) are supportive of me, but that doesn’t make this terror go away. A bunch of my friends are talking about hiding their online identities more so it’ll be harder for people to see they’re queer, and I almost wish I could do that. The safety it would bring is tempting, but I’ve only just gotten comfortable in my body and gender expression. Even on hot days, I won’t wear pants to school because I know that I’ll get bullied mercilessly, because my legs have a bit of fat on them. Normally I’m fine with this, over the last few months I’ve made big strides in loving my body, but Trump being elected is making me wonder if I should extend hiding to other parts of my life. The part of my state I live in is very purple, and most of the kids at my school are avid Trump fans. I don’t want to know what their parents think, but based on all the horrible, cruel and disgusting things that my teachers don’t even bat an eyelash at, I can guess. Most of my teachers are supportive, or at least not hostile, but as a gender nonconforming autistic kid in a school where the teachers have never knowingly met a trans person before, its hard. I can’t expect for gender neutral language to be used almost anywhere, and people getting my pronouns wrong are a constant. The only queer group is a Gay Straight Alliance every other Tuesday, but that doesn’t really count cause only me, my younger enby sibling and a genderqueer kid show up, and the teacher is the younger kids guidance councilor who just gives us pretzels and tells us to draw on the board. The special needs kids and staff only know how to accommodate students who are ‘stereotypically’ autistic, not someone who can talk the same as anyone and can regulate their emotions and reactions who needs more specific, subtle help. My guidance councilor and school administration are constantly talking to me or getting talks from my mom and me, either because of issues about bullying and harassment or the school making weak apologies and excuses about why they’re violating my privacy when they’ve signed stuff that says they won’t share my sex assigned at birth. (Yes, that did in fact happen, it was in the school’s PUBLIC students listings and we only found out recently when it showed up in our mock election student counters and I saw it when I had Social Studies. I had it last that day, so AT LEAST four other kids would’ve seen it, and knowing how fast gossip spreads I’m sure plenty of kids will be laughing about how I broke down about it, as well as telling anyone who hasn’t seen me what it is. It doesn’t help that despite all my efforts to be androgynous, the teachers all use she/her for me when they slip up, even though more femme looking kids- not that they look femme, but more femme than me- still get called he/him if they’re tired, so all the teachers have been told. Did I mention the school signed a document saying they wouldn’t reveal my sex assigned at birth and birth name to anyone except the one secretary who managed enrollments?) Apologies about the long vent. Its just been so hard, knowing I have to spend my teenage years, which should be for discovering yourself, living in fear because of Trump. Not to mention everything I’ve heard about Russia sending in bomb threats to make people in key areas vote for him, and all the stuff that’ll get 10 times harder now. Thank you for still making content, you’ve been a huge help to me and its amazing seeing another trans person being a successful influencer. I hope you’re having a great day, and if you’re somehow reading this comment to the end, thank you. Thank you so much
God made it according to who? The bible? Ok then, the bible is true according to who? Itself? So going by that logic I could write a book containing whatever I want, pretend a god 'inspired me to write it' and put in the book that because of that everything in the book becomes fact. I really don't understand your thought process
I'm going to show my son the elder trans guy to my 17 year old son starting T. My only worry is if he's taking reproductive health seriously as a bi guy. Whole queer family is excited he's starting T. Including my mom who realized she was non-binary when I told her about my relationship with gender
I've had one person prtend to be an ally right up to the point we had a small argument, at which point she deliberately misgendered me. It's worse than the up front, aggressive bigotry I've faced.
That would be my reaction probably. I will do my best to hold it! Im a cis ally and im subscribed to many trans content creators and usually i forget that they are trans and am genually surprised when they mention it. Like guys, you look so amazing!
this is exactly what i needed after being around orange man cult members all day (at school). Btw, the thing is Saturday’s are for the boys, and I think it’s supposed to be like “ on Saturday we won’t hang out with our girlfriends, we hang out with the boys” I’m not sure though
The horrible US election results have been so impactful I can feel the fear even though I'm in eastern Europe. Thank you Jamie for giving us some wholesomeness in this sad time
The economics of gender affirming surgery is interesting. Because that's not a question we ask when it's surgery for cancer patients or kids with severe congenital issues where even if the patient survives more than a couple of years after the surgery, in many cases they will still be disabled to a degree that precludes a career and paying income tax - but we don't even consider denying them these surgeries (unless we're a US health fund ofc) because that would be inhumane and disgusting and a gross violation of their human rights. A bit odd how people think it is a reasonable question to be asking about gender affirming surgery. Not just "do the patient and their medical professionals agree that this is the best way forward?" and "how urgently do we need to schedule this?" which are the questions we normally consider reasonable to ask about surgery.
I could never misgender someone for spite. There are trans people I don't like, but that doesn't mean I'd ever misgender them. For example, Blaire White. I don't like her at all. But she's a woman. She's just a woman I don't like. I've known people who would misgender people for spite and that's just unacceptable.
I see in the comments that y'all are having a really bad day with the election results, I am too. Hang in there everyone. No matter how much they try to trample on us and our rights, we'll spring back. We need to be there for each other through these dark times ahead. We are strong. YOU are strong. We survived this once before, we can do it again. Stay safe. Know that you are loved and valued. Take all the time you need to grieve and deal with the election results. Your feelings are valid, and so are you. You're strong, you're beautiful, and you aren't alone.
Hi Jamie, I tried to figure out with TH-cam how long I've been following you but couldn't! I think it's at least 2018,probably watching you that long at least. I just wanted to say thank you so much for how much of your journey you have shared online, it's an incredibly generous sharing of your life. Your work is about to be 100 times more important in the next 4 years. Please let me know what I can do to support you and any other part of the trans community you can direct me to
I don't know where you live, but I'm sure there's a local LGBTQ community in your area you can connect with. If not, you can find internet groups instead. It won't be the same but it'll still help a lot, I swear.
Am I the only one who remembers "Sir Daddy Spencer" from when he talked about his top surgery, Jamie showed that clip a few videos ago? Just wondering cause going by Jamie's reaction he doesn't remember him (Spencer) and now I'm guestioning myself.

All I need to say here is the surname Page. Pre-transition Page was gorgeous. Post-transition Elliot Page is run-of-the-mill average, but happier. That last is what matters much more than outward appearance
I think seeing queer people existing, living a happy life feeling good about themselves is my new favourite thing. Also, the stand-up comedian with the powerpoint presentation was really funny. I missed what her handle was, did anyone catch it?
Went back and checked, it's @awildfranklin ^-^
Never been this unbelievably early! Love another Jamie video.
That man’s beard at 23:00 is MAJESTIC.
Jamie having a new job is the best news that I've gotten today, and Imma hold onto that for dear life.
Love your content ❤️ Ukrainian bi person here, your videos help me to not think about russia invasion and us election, otherwise I'll cry all night
A moment of silence for my fellow Americans o7
Love from japan, to all my lgbtq+ community
Love you too ❤ from Canada
WOW WE'RE EARLY BABY
2 MINS
Yesss we are! ❤
Hi Jammie,
So Trump won the Presidential Election in America. I’m not sure what to do- I’m a young enby teen, and even before the election me and my family have been struggling a lot with the public school I’m in. Now, on top of the transphobic laws we have to find work arounds for, the tangerine got elected as president, for the next 4 years.
I’m still kind of in shock. I’d been trying not to be hopeful, because I knew this could happen… but getting the news that Trump won the day after voting day is really hard. I’m going to be 18 when his term runs out.
Its really scary. I don’t want to spend my teenage years with Trump as a president. My family and friends (online and the few irl ones I have) are supportive of me, but that doesn’t make this terror go away. A bunch of my friends are talking about hiding their online identities more so it’ll be harder for people to see they’re queer, and I almost wish I could do that. The safety it would bring is tempting, but I’ve only just gotten comfortable in my body and gender expression. Even on hot days, I won’t wear pants to school because I know that I’ll get bullied mercilessly, because my legs have a bit of fat on them. Normally I’m fine with this, over the last few months I’ve made big strides in loving my body, but Trump being elected is making me wonder if I should extend hiding to other parts of my life.
The part of my state I live in is very purple, and most of the kids at my school are avid Trump fans. I don’t want to know what their parents think, but based on all the horrible, cruel and disgusting things that my teachers don’t even bat an eyelash at, I can guess.
Most of my teachers are supportive, or at least not hostile, but as a gender nonconforming autistic kid in a school where the teachers have never knowingly met a trans person before, its hard. I can’t expect for gender neutral language to be used almost anywhere, and people getting my pronouns wrong are a constant. The only queer group is a Gay Straight Alliance every other Tuesday, but that doesn’t really count cause only me, my younger enby sibling and a genderqueer kid show up, and the teacher is the younger kids guidance councilor who just gives us pretzels and tells us to draw on the board. The special needs kids and staff only know how to accommodate students who are ‘stereotypically’ autistic, not someone who can talk the same as anyone and can regulate their emotions and reactions who needs more specific, subtle help.
My guidance councilor and school administration are constantly talking to me or getting talks from my mom and me, either because of issues about bullying and harassment or the school making weak apologies and excuses about why they’re violating my privacy when they’ve signed stuff that says they won’t share my sex assigned at birth.
(Yes, that did in fact happen, it was in the school’s PUBLIC students listings and we only found out recently when it showed up in our mock election student counters and I saw it when I had Social Studies. I had it last that day, so AT LEAST four other kids would’ve seen it, and knowing how fast gossip spreads I’m sure plenty of kids will be laughing about how I broke down about it, as well as telling anyone who hasn’t seen me what it is. It doesn’t help that despite all my efforts to be androgynous, the teachers all use she/her for me when they slip up, even though more femme looking kids- not that they look femme, but more femme than me- still get called he/him if they’re tired, so all the teachers have been told. Did I mention the school signed a document saying they wouldn’t reveal my sex assigned at birth and birth name to anyone except the one secretary who managed enrollments?)
Apologies about the long vent. Its just been so hard, knowing I have to spend my teenage years, which should be for discovering yourself, living in fear because of Trump. Not to mention everything I’ve heard about Russia sending in bomb threats to make people in key areas vote for him, and all the stuff that’ll get 10 times harder now.
Thank you for still making content, you’ve been a huge help to me and its amazing seeing another trans person being a successful influencer. I hope you’re having a great day, and if you’re somehow reading this comment to the end, thank you. Thank you so much
God made birds for the sky and fish for the sea, so does that mean that penguins don't exist? Obviously they do and we do as well!
no, it means shrimps are non-cosher fish and penguins are frogs' cousins
God made it according to who? The bible? Ok then, the bible is true according to who? Itself? So going by that logic I could write a book containing whatever I want, pretend a god 'inspired me to write it' and put in the book that because of that everything in the book becomes fact. I really don't understand your thought process
@@Ameliahorn6582Kindly read their comment again. It discredits the bible.
I'm going to show my son the elder trans guy to my 17 year old son starting T. My only worry is if he's taking reproductive health seriously as a bi guy.
Whole queer family is excited he's starting T. Including my mom who realized she was non-binary when I told her about my relationship with gender
I've had one person prtend to be an ally right up to the point we had a small argument, at which point she deliberately misgendered me. It's worse than the up front, aggressive bigotry I've faced.
When Jaimie said "assholeyness" (at 21:28 or so), the AI caption gods spelled it out as "ass Holiness" which made me giggle.
I needed this today.
You give off good teacher energy :)
Of course my queerness makes me walk slow! Platform boots are not made for walking😂
I've been on T for almost 18.5 years. (Feb 14 will be 18.5.) I wouldn't be here without it! Never thought I'd be alive right now, I'm 42.
I was asked which way I'm transitioning today.
I see that as positive.
bless you for the bit of positivity you bring into our collectively terrible day
I don't mind the polite surprised, like. They don't know what to say either lol and blurt out the first complement they can
That would be my reaction probably. I will do my best to hold it! Im a cis ally and im subscribed to many trans content creators and usually i forget that they are trans and am genually surprised when they mention it. Like guys, you look so amazing!
1:35 for anyone confused: "Saturdays are for da boys"
Saturdaaaaay😊
this is exactly what i needed after being around orange man cult members all day (at school). Btw, the thing is Saturday’s are for the boys, and I think it’s supposed to be like “ on Saturday we won’t hang out with our girlfriends, we hang out with the boys” I’m not sure though
carving potatoes? SPUDS ?! *horrified gasp*
we're all gonna die
stay safe everyone. this is gonna suck and it already sucks
Thank you, Jamie. Yours is the only friendly voice that I've heard on any media platform today.
The horrible US election results have been so impactful I can feel the fear even though I'm in eastern Europe. Thank you Jamie for giving us some wholesomeness in this sad time
The economics of gender affirming surgery is interesting. Because that's not a question we ask when it's surgery for cancer patients or kids with severe congenital issues where even if the patient survives more than a couple of years after the surgery, in many cases they will still be disabled to a degree that precludes a career and paying income tax - but we don't even consider denying them these surgeries (unless we're a US health fund ofc) because that would be inhumane and disgusting and a gross violation of their human rights.
A bit odd how people think it is a reasonable question to be asking about gender affirming surgery. Not just "do the patient and their medical professionals agree that this is the best way forward?" and "how urgently do we need to schedule this?" which are the questions we normally consider reasonable to ask about surgery.
thank you, needed this today
Thank you Jamie... for being here today ❤ I think we all needed it, at least us in the U.S ❤
Yes, I see you. Elections are making you feel stressy depressy but FEAR NOT it's another Jamie video.
thank you for being here man we all need you
Mate... You're in the club.. You're not only allowed to fart, you're allowed to be proud of the good ones....
I could never misgender someone for spite. There are trans people I don't like, but that doesn't mean I'd ever misgender them. For example, Blaire White. I don't like her at all. But she's a woman. She's just a woman I don't like. I've known people who would misgender people for spite and that's just unacceptable.
I can relate to 20:00, My sister will purposely misgender me when she's mad at me, I tell her to stop because it makes me feel bad but it never works.
bathroom special? crazy
I see in the comments that y'all are having a really bad day with the election results, I am too. Hang in there everyone. No matter how much they try to trample on us and our rights, we'll spring back. We need to be there for each other through these dark times ahead. We are strong. YOU are strong.
We survived this once before, we can do it again. Stay safe. Know that you are loved and valued. Take all the time you need to grieve and deal with the election results. Your feelings are valid, and so are you. You're strong, you're beautiful, and you aren't alone.
Hi Jamie, I tried to figure out with TH-cam how long I've been following you but couldn't! I think it's at least 2018,probably watching you that long at least. I just wanted to say thank you so much for how much of your journey you have shared online, it's an incredibly generous sharing of your life. Your work is about to be 100 times more important in the next 4 years. Please let me know what I can do to support you and any other part of the trans community you can direct me to
Wait--! Has Jamie not done a spud-themed squarespace spot yet???
_ÏŤ'Ş ĂBŐŲŢ ȚĪMĖ._
Anyway, I love these. They always make me chuckle. 🤗💕
Guys I'm so numb, literally dk what to even say. Need this community so much rn holy fck.
I don't know where you live, but I'm sure there's a local LGBTQ community in your area you can connect with. If not, you can find internet groups instead. It won't be the same but it'll still help a lot, I swear.
I'm nervous 😅
I love the fact that when tiktokers say "hi" you reply with "hello." I do it too
Seeing Jamie watch Alexis Blake and not know who she is was WILD. I love her.
This is your regular reminder that you're all awesome, beautiful and valid little spuds, just the way you are ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Love you all ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This is a thanks on behalf of all the Internet for you spreading the love like this, & your reminder, that you, too, are awesome just as you are xxx
@@elaineb7065 Thank you💜 It's not much, but I like to try and spread a little love when I can, I think we can all use a little more these days
@@nathryl03 We deffo can, especially today xxx
Jaime will one day be our trans grandad!
Am I the only one who remembers "Sir Daddy Spencer" from when he talked about his top surgery, Jamie showed that clip a few videos ago? Just wondering cause going by Jamie's reaction he doesn't remember him (Spencer) and now I'm guestioning myself.
I'm bad with names, but great with faces. Instantly recognized that man from the video you mentioned!
Thanks, Jammidodger for making me feel better.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
thank you for existing jammi
thank you for uploading jamie, we're thankful for your positive energy in our times of need
Hey Jamie, thank you so much for the much needed cheering up, lovely video and had a nice little giggle at times :)
