Hey guys! Thanks for the positive response on the video so far, so glad to see your lovely comments, really hope this can help some of you :) Just want to say a massive thank you (and credit) to Shaaba who helped film, and then edited this video! Couldn't have happened without her - go check out her channel here: th-cam.com/channels/jZ97eKgNwC4j-z_6LDjfIg.html
Hey, could you make a video titled "The person who sent you this is transgender" or something similar? It would be super helpful. There are loads of "the person who sent you this is gay/bi" videos on youtube, but none about being trans. Also love your videos :P.
Jammidodger I'm never gonna come out. My parents don't believe you can "change" your gender therefore I'm stuck being female :( I bind and all that when I'm alone but whatever it doesn't matter anyway.
the funniest "coming out" thats happened to me so far is when i sent someone a snapchat saying "im trans" and they answered with " you like trains????"
Idk what you replied (curious cause that's awkward as hell though) but I would have sent a picture of Thomas the tank engine and "CHOOO CHOOO" as the caption
I started wearing a pin that said ‘THEY’ on it for days, after about a week my dad just kinda laughed and said ‘Ari, I get it, you’re nonbinary’ I replied with ‘no, I’m 7 rats in a trench coat’ he has a pretty good sense of humour :)
Shaaba. I just sent this video to my dad because I can't bring myself to tell him face to face and I'm nervous about when he sees it!!! (I sent the video to him and said "I'm Tarzan" haha)
I tried coming out today actually, twice, the first time no one was listening, the next I got so close but I chickened out when I was gonna say trans WHY IS COMING OUT SO HARD???
Chippy Gravy I blame it on the fear of being rejected... I tried coming out... five, fuckin, times... but every time I catch them in a good mood, they have something to yell at me for.
Just a thought if yo peeps are transphobic or not accepting of you you can just be like: "haha got ya it was a prank ha ha LOL" "stupid auto correct i meant to say ___ " "oh sorry, my friend ___ sent that, as a joke im not really calm down" then proceed to call a therapist or counselor or something like that because that environment is damaging and triggering to your mental health potentially leading a bad self image. hating yourself is disrespecting a trans person and thats not okay Edit: typos
I was scared as shit to come out to my dad. I called him on the phone, and I start this big talk, voice all shaky, and finally I just say it- I'm a guy, I'm trans. And then he literally says "well, duh." It was the best thing ever- apparently he'd guessed at it for quite a while and was waiting for me to tell him, or maybe for me to realize it myself, lol. He said the moment I called him saying I had "something big to tell him" he knew immediately I was going to come out to him as trans. Literally, that entire thing could never have possibly gone better than that.
My daughter made it official by sending me a meme and I will treasure that forever. From a parent's perspective I can confirm that there truly is no wrong way to tell us, that every way is the right way. I fully understand how difficult it is for all you transgender people out there, but we are here for you and we will love you unconditionally (and if you are unfortunate to have a so-called parent who doesn't, then hit me up and I will tell you how proud I am of you and I will listen to your stories, I promise
@thelonelyrainforestdweller my dad began shit talking trans people and was making the attack helicopter jokes right in front of me a bit ago. so I get it sorta, I wish things were better too but we won't always have to live with these people. it's up to which is more important, abiding by what your parents think or being happy and letting yourself live
one time I tried coming out to my dad as trans while playing the board game Life; so I put a blue person in my car and waited for it to sink in with him until I remembered that he's color blind :'^)
If you're an only child who's also trans and gay you could say "hey hey your son is gay" then when they say they don't have a son just be like "I am your son"
I remember feeling like a complete wreck trying to tell my dad. and my dad's girlfriend already knew so I begged her not to tell him. I told him last year in May on the way to work, and he looked at me for two seconds staring. and then he busted out in song, I'll make a man out of you from Mulan. one of the most anticlimactic moments of my life.
I came out to my Dad as a trans man today and it went so well and I feel so lucky and relieved. My Dad is a huge Star Wars fan, so I told him by saying that he has something in common with Tattooine. He has two sons. It took him a little bit, but he realized what I meant and all he asked was if this would make me happy. I said yes and he hugged me and said that that was all he cared about. I cried.
With me it was screaming at the top of my lungs since I was four. But alas now I done seemingly everything society wanted me to do but never to be. I was giving myself a much needed hair cut for this hot summer. My daughter comes into the bathroom unbeknown to me and watches me gleefully trimming to the scalp. From behind me. She piped up, said you definitely need to stop denying your a dude mom/dad how long are we going to limp on this? Your 57. Man up already. Yes indeed you are so right I haven’t got a whole life ahead of me. Time to stop seeming and just be. To have guided such wonderful humans in this dark world fills my heart with joy. That both my kids can see who I really am and encourage me. They are adults now with babies of their own and the youngest calls me poppa he hasn’t got the grand down yet. 18 months. This is the kind of people that should inherit the earth. Love knows nothing but kindness.
My family went out to my dad's friend's house a week or so after i came out and you wanna know what happened? I saw a pink box that indicates someone bought a cake. "Can i have cake?" "Later." Ok. Later, they bring out the cake, and it's one of those stupid gender reveal cakes, "It's a boy!" Written in fancy-ass cursive. I didn't like that bery much.
meanwhile im constantly questioning if i am simply 'following the crowd like i know thats nonsense. but it doesnt stop me from fucking thinking it.. (im enby, and alot of the stuff mentioned in his videos i cant completely relate too. and yes i KNOW thats just because im enby, and because we all have different experiences i thought id never felt dysphoria but then dypshoria actually was and now i feel it all the time, so its probably that i simply didnt really pay attention to it. yknow .. stuff like that )' so being told this when trying to come out would *REALLY* not help me
guys quick update: they have been saying they will call me by my preferred name and encouraging family to do so as well (do they all actually call me my name? no) and they are slightly transphobic but its whatever because ill be moving out in a year so :)
I plan on getting top surgery and starting T, then climbing through a window at my dads house and yelling "yo I'm your SON" Edit: I just found this from ages ago, I came out to my family around three years ago and it went great! Thanks for the support in the comments!
I came out to my parents as pansexual. I had been hinting at it for months but they didn’t seem to notice. They accepted me right away...then a couple minutes later asked me what pansexual meant 😂
My friend came out to me in middle school by writing their new name (new to me) in my yearbook at the end of the school year. I almost didn't notice because they had signed it and it was almost illegible compared to the good summer wishes they wrote. I asked them what it said because I could at least tell that it was a different first letter. So they awkwardly explained that it was a different name. I was so honored that they felt comfortable and close enough with me to even tell me something like that because as far as I know, they came out to most other people by correcting their teachers on the first days of class the following September.
Ferdhaus Ismael Considerimg the fact he's a boy, no matter what people, his body, or even body system says, you'd be gay. It doesn't matter what your genitals are and such, all that really matters is what they feel they are. In his case, he is a boy. Making you gay. Hope this helped. ^-^
so I came out to my dad last night he basically said "idk... It's normal to hate everything about yourself at your age" and I'm starting to realize just how messed up my family is.
5:22 Bake a cake and dye the batter. Ice plainly. When the cake is sliced into and whoever you're coming out to sees the color, cheer and say "I'm a [gender]!" Nothing can go wrong when there's cake.
*My Friend Is Gay And He Came out by Walking Into Our Form Class And Playing The Song "It's Okay To Be Gay" on a speaker... I luv that son of a biscuit*
i straight up asked my mom for a binder and she still thinks i’m cis 😳😳😳 also i have a masculine “nickname”, oliver, and my sister has referred to me using that nickname right in front of her before
It always upsets me seeing how scared people are to come out to their family. I’m scared too, that’s why it’s upsetting. You could have the nicest parents, the most accepting parents, and you can still be terrified of coming out. The Tarzan one was hilarious though, they all were.
once, i was coming out to 3 of my internet friends and, instead of saying something, i just sent them a card that’s usually intended for the first time parents find out what their future baby’s sex is that said: ‘It’s a boy!’
I was also nervous about telling my dad; he's a little more stubborn and close-minded than my mom. I wasn't afraid he'd be angry or anything, mostly I was just scared he wouldn't believe me. Lucky for me, my dad broke the ice for me. He came to me and said if I ever needed to talk to him about anything, like my sexuality, he was here for me. So I, y'know, took the opportunity. He did indeed believe me; mostly he was just worried for me, but you can't keep your parents from being worried about you.
I just recently came out to my sister. She's pan, and knows the pride flags and stuff, so that's why this worked so well. So basically I made brownies earlier on in the day and saved her some, 'n offered to do the dishes with her. I downloaded a picture of a trans flag and while we were taking a break, said, "Hey, do you wanna see a cool picture?" I showed her the flag and immediately got hugged.
When I struggled to tell my mom she noticed something was going on and sat me down and went like "it's no problem when you're lesbian..." and looking back at it it was quite hilarious considering my sister was a closeted lesbian at the time
I'm gonna come out by sending this video to my parents Update: I showed them the video and they didn't get the hint so I just told them. Their response was basically, "I'll love and support you no matter what, you'll always be our daughter" 😭
Extra update: they now fully accept me and use the right name and pronouns consistently, for the last two years I've been on testosterone and I got top surgery done last year :)
You look SO amazing. I've always been so afraid of transitioning and the process. I don't know if I honestly want to transition (ftm) but I know I don't quite fit my own body sometimes. I know everyone is different, but recently after finding your channel, you're really helping me love myself a little bet more and more every time I watch or talk about my situation. Today my best friend told me that I am valid and I started tearing up. I've been so confused for so long, and I still am, but even during this stage, you inspire me.
OMG Jamie I loved this video. One of your best actually! I thought closeted you had nailed it with the straight-up no-nonsense text but I never saw "I'm Tarzan" coming. xD Funnily enough I always wanted to be Tarzan before coming out as trans lol
I came out by going for a walk and texted my parents and waited for a response without having to actually talk to them. They were really accepting and nice and honestly they totally expected it. I texted my gran later and she was just as accepting and now all my family and friends know. Some of my friends still refer to me as she/her because they’re awkward about it and afraid to say the wrong thing but everyone uses Alex and most of them he/him pronouns. The only people who doesn’t know is my extended family on dad’s side of the family, and let’s just say I’m not going to the family Christmas dinner. This story is from a hardcore Christian family, my mum works as a full time priest and I go to church every Sunday. I wanted to just let you know how well it went for me even though the odds might’ve been against me. Of course, never come out unless you’re ready and if you might be in danger, but I haven’t regretted it a singe time. Coming out was probably the best experience of my life. :)
When I came out as bi I left a letter for my Mum and dad, they found it and thought I’d run away, came charging up to my room and found me still asleep.After they woke me up they read the letter and were like, “yeah sweetie no shit...” 😂😅❤️ Good luck to anyone who is coming out ❤️💛💚💙💜
I want to tell my family it's just I'm really not good at explaining myself or getting my point across- especially if I'm nervous. I also don't want to write a letter as I still find that really hard to do and I feel like it's a little dramatic(?) for my family. Like, I don't want to make it a big deal if that makes sense. I'm kind of stuck on what to do I've been trying for 3 years.
Omg I really get you, I had the same problem for a very long time and I really feel you on the "dramatic" part I had the same thoughts! I eventually (about a month ago) told them "I want to talk to you about something" to make it impossible/harder to back out and then I finally managed to tell them
If you feel like you're not good at explaining, maybe you could show your family a video explaining it / a trans youtuber / something like that after telling them you're trans and then just answer their questions. They're your family, so I'm sure they love you and will try to understand you ;) You can do it, I wish you luck~
I tried going the outright “I’m trans” way and then that failed because I couldn’t say it (got too scared to do it) so now I’m going to just bake a gender reveal cake and give my parents a heart attack first by letting them think I’m pregnant (ew) Either that or I’m doing something related to Hamilton (which we’ve all seen and love). “Son, I need you alive-“ “CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME. Please. Seriously, please do it again.”
I did it in attempt to come out to my sister here was the conversation: Me: I need to talk to you about something Sister: what is it? Me: *sweats aggressively* Sister: are you ok? Me: *whispers quietly* I'm genderfluid Sister: whatd you say? Me: nothing I just wanted to talk to you!!! Nothing specific!!! Hahaha!!! WASTED
As he hanged up the "ITS A BOY" sign I first thought, that the dad would be like "You got someone pregnant?" and then I realised "wait... no" brainlag at it's best xD
This video made me SOOO happy! XD As a transboy myself, I didn't get to come out (school unfortunately did it for me) and my parents/entire family didn't take it too well. Your videos give me a lot of hope for my future tho! I'm so glad you're here making these awesome videos and making me laugh while you're at it. I'm giving a big like and I want you to have a fantastic day :) (also I love your t-shirts they're awesome)
My dad was teaching me how to change a tire when I came out to him. I liked that because I had an excuse to not make eye contact. His response was "well you're already pretty man-ish so I guess it won't be much of a difference". The only thing he needed to get used to were the pronouns and the name change.
Just starting my journey as a trans woman and this video really helped calm some of the anxiety I was feeling about coming out to the world. Needed some humor. Haha
I doubt anyone will see this but one way you can come out is if you are in school and your parents talk about your day at dinner you can say something like this. "So how was your day at school today? " "Good" You can say or anything else. "Did you learn anything today? " "Yeah. So quick question. In health ( or what ever class you think would work) we were talking about genders and they gave us a piece of paper that had a few questions on it. They had things like do you have more male or female friends ( you can use any question you want) and one question asked if we were a boy or a girl and I put boy" ( again use the gender you are. So if your ftm and you want to be called Tim, boy you can say 'I put boy' or if you are mtf and want to be called Fiona, girl you can say 'I put down girl') then ask, "Are you okay with that" If yes then say. "Okay (cool, great, thanks. What ever word you want to use) but can you call me" Then say your preferred name. If they are not okay with it just say something simple like "It was just a dare (pick a name) told me to do" Or you can try to explain that you are Transgender. I don't know if this will work I never used it. This is just an idea that you can use. If it goes bad cover it up with a different topic or class. Be safe when coming out. I know it is scary but please make sure you will be safe when doing it and have a backup plan just in case it all goes horrible. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for the inspirational video! It was entertaining, creative and also made me feel better about myself. My gender dysphoria can be crippling at times and there are times when it overwhelms me. I am working on helping my parents come to terms with my gender identity as a transgender male. It is difficult because of their cultural Asian stereotypes of binary gender and also that they have specific attributes that they attribute to masculinity and I don't seem to fit those standards. I believe men and women both can be creative, artistic, emotional, empathetic and compassionate. Men don't need to be great at working with tools or doing repairs or good in STEM areas. The stereotypes of gender only limit us from being our true selves. Only when we get rid of the box, can we truly explore who we are as individuals. I love all those who struggle to find who they are because you all are special. Thank you for sharing your story as it inspires many others!
Hahaha, I wish I could had came out to my dad in a funny way, he saw me crying and then we had the talk. But I'm glad he accepted me :) Great video, Jamie!!! XD And good luck everyone!!!!!!! XD
I've been depressed all my life and I always think that something's wrong with me. A lot of things are wrong with me actually. I just thought that I'm a supreme weirdo. Until I got into meditation and self-acceptance practice, and suddenly all is figured out: that I'm actually a boy all along. It all suddenly make sense, and that's the exact shoes that I'll be fitted in. I was in constant denial and kept refusing the thoughts every time it came across since I came from a mildly religious Muslim family--in the biggest Muslim country in the world. This pain me bad. I knew I could never came out or they would kick me out of the house and or even send me somewhere to 'cure' me and violate my rights as a human being. My mother had kick me out of the house before only because I cut my hair off. Now I know that perhaps I wouldn't get the skin that I wanted or live the life with my own proper identity in this world. And if that's the case, I'll be alright. Even though I wish, I hope, a miracle will appear. But I would never be able to live a life as a woman. I could never get married, and I could never mingle in society with my current state. My plan is to find a decent job and buy me a nice house to separate me from my family and all of the people. And just live in isolation until the end of my times. I wish you all a happy and fulfilling life.
Idk why but this is seriously really helpful for me. It's calming all the anxiety i have about coming out, and I've been thinking of writing a little letter/sending a text. Oof I have so many emotions towards it.
Funny thing is, you’re the reason I discovered the term transgender existed and started questioning my gender, discovering myself along the way! I had no idea it existed before but I’m so glad I found out; I didn’t feel alone anymore, because there were more people like me out there, so thank you. You helped me keep hope and learn more about myself,
I’ve been super scared to come out to my parents bc I don’t know what they think about trans people and they’ve made some trans-related jokes- This vid gave me a little boost in confidence! Probably not coming out anytime soon but I feel better about it ^^
I came out to my mom and brother via email. I told my mom that she could tell any family members that she wanted to. She told my aunt, but said that I should personally come out to my grandparents. I wrote a letter to my grandparents coming out as trans and thankfully my family is very accepting!
Hi Jamie, I really like your videos eventhough I know you exist for only 4 days now.. I just wanted to say that in these 4 days your videos really changed things for me. 5 years ago I realized I'm transgender although I've always known there's something different about me compared to "the other" girls but your videos have made me really think about what I want with my life. Long story short (or at least shorter), I literally just came out to my mum. I tried to tell her before twice, but she didn't take me seriously. Now I feel like she actually did and I couldn't feel more relieved. I'm really terrified for the future and all its changes and in which order I want to set them in motion, but I choose to be hopeful and optimistic. Anyway, thank you for being you and for your videos. Love
“Hey mum, I’ve got something to tell you” “Sure, what is it?” “I can’t quite seem to find the proper words...” “C’mon sweetie, don’t be scared” “Uhh... I don’t know, im too scared of your reaction” “C’mon darling. Are the girls bullying you again?” “No its not that” “What is it then?” “Uhhh... try to guess” “No, tell me.” “I’m... im a trans woman” “Oh... okay... wanna pick another name? :)” **silently dying inside**
I’m gonna come out as trans to my mom with the help of my therapist soon. My mom can be open minded but she gets wrapped up in older thinking. After my brother (they’re okay with me calling them my brother) came out as non binary my mom was completely okay with it. Same with the furry community, she believed they were all low life degenerates, but after my brother taught her otherwise she was super supportive. Plus she really trusts what my therapist says, so it’ll hopefully help her understand
I am planning on tying a helium "It's a boy" balloon (I work at a party shop) to a package containing two shirts I made saying "I ❤️ my trans son" and a note signed by Jamie. Does that sound like it would backfire?Thanks, you're one of my favourite people at the moment.
Just came out as nb to my best friend today and I want to say thanks for helping me finally (I'm 32) muster the courage to come out to someone offline 💕 I've been watching you for a while and your videos are invaluable. I think this one in particular helped me the most.
No way... Before 2 hours I had a serious conversation with my parents about me being the way I am and after a lot of crying, emotions and talking they accepted me for who I am! Right after the conversation ended and my parents went to their room I returned back to mine as well, went to my pc seeing this video. What a coincidence I can't stop laughing! :D For all of you who still haven't come out to your parents or friends (the people you love and trust), it needs a bit of time and understanding. People are different and everyone takes things differently, but those who truly love you will surely accept you the way you are. This step is difficult for everyone and it takes time to get the confidence about it. For me it took me about half a year to slowly start coming out to everyone. First to my very close friends, then to my classmates. It was easy for me to tell them since I know my people and I knew for sure that they will accept me. But the situation for my parents was completely different. When I tried talking about the things that make me uncomfortable, their reaction was sharp and unexpected. They weren't ready to know and I just felt it with my intuition. Half a year ago I knew this would be a very difficult but important step in my life. So how I started to show my parents that I am not what they think and wanted me to be? I first started with removing my earrings. My mom was against it but after 2 or 3 weeks she gave up and allowed me to remove them. While shopping I was taking clothes from the male section and eventually my wardrobe changed with the clothes I feel comfortable in. Soo time and time passed. Before a month I decided that I was ready to cut my hair. I did so and today I finally had the feeling that I'm ready to talk with them. They knew that something wasn't alright. We started talking and I told them. They took it surprisingly well! It was difficult but very worth trying. With time I gained the confidence needed and I did it. I hope all of you will have supportive people by your side! Oh and Jamie, thank you so much for everything you did and for trying to help people with your funny and yet useful videos! Thank you a lot!
Hey guys! Thanks for the positive response on the video so far, so glad to see your lovely comments, really hope this can help some of you :)
Just want to say a massive thank you (and credit) to Shaaba who helped film, and then edited this video! Couldn't have happened without her - go check out her channel here: th-cam.com/channels/jZ97eKgNwC4j-z_6LDjfIg.html

Idk what you replied (curious cause that's awkward as hell though) but I would have sent a picture of Thomas the tank engine and "CHOOO CHOOO" as the caption

I started wearing a pin that said ‘THEY’ on it for days, after about a week my dad just kinda laughed and said ‘Ari, I get it, you’re nonbinary’ I replied with ‘no, I’m 7 rats in a trench coat’
he has a pretty good sense of humour :)
Lmfaoo
@Sarah Webb uhh, it's a few days later. Did you go to bed?
@Sarah Webb I hope you went to bed it’s been three weeks
@Sarah Webb you sleep yet?
@Sarah Webb It's been a month but I sure hope you went to bed.
I can confirm this is 100% how Jamie dances in the club.
Best of luck to everyone who plans on coming out 💛
Shaaba. I just sent this video to my dad because I can't bring myself to tell him face to face and I'm nervous about when he sees it!!!

howd it go?
Midnight Siblings What happened
I tried coming out today actually, twice, the first time no one was listening, the next I got so close but I chickened out when I was gonna say trans
WHY IS COMING OUT SO HARD???
Chippy Gravy I blame it on the fear of being rejected... I tried coming out... five, fuckin, times... but every time I catch them in a good mood, they have something to yell at me for.

I hypnotix I I don’t know how it turned out for the person we’re not the same person. But hopefully well
I'm literally going to say 'I'm Tarzan' instead of coming out
Same
I did that as well
same
I am already out.
I shall now come out as Tarzan 😂
Just a thought if yo peeps are transphobic or not accepting of you you can just be like:
"haha got ya it was a prank ha ha LOL"
"stupid auto correct i meant to say ___ "
"oh sorry, my friend ___ sent that, as a joke im not really calm down"
then proceed to call a therapist or counselor or something like that because that environment is damaging and triggering to your mental health potentially leading a bad self image.
hating yourself is disrespecting a trans person and thats not okay
Edit: typos
I was scared as shit to come out to my dad. I called him on the phone, and I start this big talk, voice all shaky, and finally I just say it- I'm a guy, I'm trans.

He said the moment I called him saying I had "something big to tell him" he knew immediately I was going to come out to him as trans. Literally, that entire thing could never have possibly gone better than that.
So lucky
What age did you come out if you don't mind me asking? (Or age range such as 12-15, minor, 16+, etc.)
I'm so scared to come out to my dad he's homophobic but REALLY TRANSPHOBIC LIKE REALLY TRANSPHOBIC

I wish all parents were like you 😭
I don't wanna tell my parents bc both of them constantly talk about queer people as if we're LESS than cishets
@thelonelyrainforestdweller my dad began shit talking trans people and was making the attack helicopter jokes right in front of me a bit ago. so I get it sorta, I wish things were better too but we won't always have to live with these people. it's up to which is more important, abiding by what your parents think or being happy and letting yourself live
one time I tried coming out to my dad as trans while playing the board game Life; so I put a blue person in my car and waited for it to sink in with him until I remembered that he's color blind :'^)

hoLY ShIT XD
Thats not how that works
real nigga hours -iTs a PrAnK bRo
Wait nO
“You’re pregnant?” At that point I probably would’ve given up
If you're an only child who's also trans and gay you could say "hey hey your son is gay" then when they say they don't have a son just be like "I am your son"
Alex P. OH my gosh I might actually do this xD
I can't do that, I have an older brother who is bi
Jaxion's style You could say hey hey your other son is gay
Alex P. you think that would work?
Jaxion's style Tbh I really don't know, but if you know they're accepting any way for anything it'll be a fun way to come out I guess
MY COMMING OUT:
my father asked me how my day was and i answed: "pretty gay"
because i couldnt decide between pretty good and okay. .-.
Oops-
Mission failed succesfully?? I guess you Came out of the closet? And also didnt?????
I remember feeling like a complete wreck trying to tell my dad. and my dad's girlfriend already knew so I begged her not to tell him. I told him last year in May on the way to work, and he looked at me for two seconds staring. and then he busted out in song, I'll make a man out of you from Mulan. one of the most anticlimactic moments of my life.
Together Breakfast I’m not gonna lie tho that’s amazing! What a dad!
That is possibly the best reaction he could have had XD.

Mine just said "well duh, how did you not know"
Dads are amazing (sometimes)
i came out to my brother by saying "i'm straight but i don't like men". he didn't get it and i had to explain it to him..
This comment sort of confused me- are you a trans girl, trans boy, or other??? /srs

How to come out of closet
1.) open the door
2.) step out
3.) dismantle the government
Yup, that might be easier
big brain moment✨
Thank you, Im gonna try it ( im Polish so it's gonna be a lot harder tho )
Lol
Edit: I did it!

I came out to my Dad as a trans man today and it went so well and I feel so lucky and relieved. My Dad is a huge Star Wars fan, so I told him by saying that he has something in common with Tattooine. He has two sons. It took him a little bit, but he realized what I meant and all he asked was if this would make me happy. I said yes and he hugged me and said that that was all he cared about. I cried.
Good for u man
Maybe if I get one of those “it’s a boy” banners, maybe my parents would actually be less freaked out that I’m not in fact pregnant 😂
ah, they'll be so relieved we'll have a chance to escape
With me it was screaming at the top of my lungs since I was four. But alas now I done seemingly everything society wanted me to do but never to be. I was giving myself a much needed hair cut for this hot summer. My daughter comes into the bathroom unbeknown to me and watches me gleefully trimming to the scalp. From behind me. She piped up, said you definitely need to stop denying your a dude mom/dad how long are we going to limp on this? Your 57. Man up already. Yes indeed you are so right I haven’t got a whole life ahead of me. Time to stop seeming and just be. To have guided such wonderful humans in this dark world fills my heart with joy. That both my kids can see who I really am and encourage me. They are adults now with babies of their own and the youngest calls me poppa he hasn’t got the grand down yet. 18 months. This is the kind of people that should inherit the earth. Love knows nothing but kindness.
I died at the tarzan part
"dear what do you mean your tarzan"

Jamie,s dad: you're pregnant
Got me burst out laughing
You're pregan* :D
My family went out to my dad's friend's house a week or so after i came out and you wanna know what happened? I saw a pink box that indicates someone bought a cake. "Can i have cake?" "Later." Ok. Later, they bring out the cake, and it's one of those stupid gender reveal cakes, "It's a boy!" Written in fancy-ass cursive. I didn't like that bery much.

I sent my mother a trans coming out meme and she responded with "no ur just following the crowd"
And still to this day I am misgendered :)
One day you can be yourself
has everything gotten better?
c’: that’s extra sucky sorry
meanwhile im constantly questioning if i am simply 'following the crowd
like i know thats nonsense. but it doesnt stop me from fucking thinking it..
(im enby, and alot of the stuff mentioned in his videos i cant completely relate too.
and yes i KNOW thats just because im enby, and because we all have different experiences
i thought id never felt dysphoria but then dypshoria actually was and now i feel it all the time,
so its probably that i simply didnt really pay attention to it.
yknow .. stuff like that )'
so being told this when trying to come out would *REALLY* not help me
guys quick update: they have been saying they will call me by my preferred name and encouraging family to do so as well (do they all actually call me my name? no) and they are slightly transphobic but its whatever because ill be moving out in a year so :)
I plan on getting top surgery and starting T, then climbing through a window at my dads house and yelling "yo I'm your SON"
Edit: I just found this from ages ago, I came out to my family around three years ago and it went great! Thanks for the support in the comments!
Oliver :D Wow... that's... not a bad idea, actually
If that ain’t me bitch
I mean, it'll work but also might give him a heart attack
Big mood
Panzer ayy thats great, hope it goes well man!
I came out to my parents as pansexual. I had been hinting at it for months but they didn’t seem to notice. They accepted me right away...then a couple minutes later asked me what pansexual meant 😂
Hahahaha😂😂 love that

My friend came out to me in middle school by writing their new name (new to me) in my yearbook at the end of the school year. I almost didn't notice because they had signed it and it was almost illegible compared to the good summer wishes they wrote. I asked them what it said because I could at least tell that it was a different first letter. So they awkwardly explained that it was a different name. I was so honored that they felt comfortable and close enough with me to even tell me something like that because as far as I know, they came out to most other people by correcting their teachers on the first days of class the following September.
Aww
Jamie your dad dancing killed me
ash-with-the-tash I LITERALLY JUST SAID " hah dad dancing " THEN SAW THIS COMMENT 😂
😂😂😂 I would never dad dance on my channel OMG I can barely talk to the camera nevermind that
The overused youtube background music makes it 100 times better too lmao
hey I have a question...if I am gay and I fall for Jamie...would that make me straight or not?
Ferdhaus Ismael Considerimg the fact he's a boy, no matter what people, his body, or even body system says, you'd be gay. It doesn't matter what your genitals are and such, all that really matters is what they feel they are. In his case, he is a boy. Making you gay. Hope this helped. ^-^
This helped
I'm trans and gay,my friend calls me homosapian
I just got the joke 💀
Well technically he’s not wrong
omg i have a book called simon vs the homosapiens agenda is that what ur referencing?
Youre sick and need therapy.
"Dad. We need to talk. I'm Tarzan"
I would just leave it at that XD
I'm sure my father would accept me a bit more if that were the case XD
Oh nooooo. Are you out now and is he accepting?
so I came out to my dad last night he basically said "idk... It's normal to hate everything about yourself at your age" and I'm starting to realize just how messed up my family is.
Oh no, I'm sorry for you. Is it better now?
Sometimes people need time to get their heads round a new way of seeing someone in their family.
I kept forgetting to imagine you as pre-T so I expected them to think that you'd got somebody else pregnant.
Same smh my head
Shake my head my head

Bake a cake and dye the batter. Ice plainly. When the cake is sliced into and whoever you're coming out to sees the color, cheer and say "I'm a [gender]!"
Nothing can go wrong when there's cake.
I plan on coming out on my birthday, and now I have the perfect idea.
I can have the cake thrown at me but that's fun and then I get to eat the cake. really no failure there 😂

Just imagine sitting in the closet until you die from starvation since nobody comes looking for you
i straight up asked my mom for a binder and she still thinks i’m cis 😳😳😳
also i have a masculine “nickname”, oliver, and my sister has referred to me using that nickname right in front of her before
*spits* "......you're pregnant?!?!"XD
It always upsets me seeing how scared people are to come out to their family. I’m scared too, that’s why it’s upsetting. You could have the nicest parents, the most accepting parents, and you can still be terrified of coming out. The Tarzan one was hilarious though, they all were.
EVERYTIME HE DIDN'T GET IT, I GOT SO SAD, BUT IT WAS ALL OKAY AS SOON AS I SAW JAMIE IN A CROP TOP
Cheerleader Jamie encountering Dad Jamie is the one of the most adorable thing on TH-cam.
once, i was coming out to 3 of my internet friends and, instead of saying something, i just sent them a card that’s usually intended for the first time parents find out what their future baby’s sex is that said: ‘It’s a boy!’
oh, jamie did almost the same thing in the video :D
I'm afraid to talk to my mom. Any tips
@@icecubes9056 Hey my dude, if you ended up telling her then I hope it went well, and if it didn't then I'd like to say good luck :)
The dad in this situation is so clueless I love it.
Can say is funny
The Tarzan one killed me 😂😂😂
So what aghahagahag
Me: writes a letter about how I'm transgender, etc
Mom later: excuse me, [Deadname] , but what is transgender?
Me: **Nervously sweating**
I was also nervous about telling my dad; he's a little more stubborn and close-minded than my mom. I wasn't afraid he'd be angry or anything, mostly I was just scared he wouldn't believe me. Lucky for me, my dad broke the ice for me. He came to me and said if I ever needed to talk to him about anything, like my sexuality, he was here for me. So I, y'know, took the opportunity. He did indeed believe me; mostly he was just worried for me, but you can't keep your parents from being worried about you.
I just recently came out to my sister. She's pan, and knows the pride flags and stuff, so that's why this worked so well.
So basically I made brownies earlier on in the day and saved her some, 'n offered to do the dishes with her. I downloaded a picture of a trans flag and while we were taking a break, said, "Hey, do you wanna see a cool picture?" I showed her the flag and immediately got hugged.
You as your dad is the funniest thing ahaha
When I struggled to tell my mom she noticed something was going on and sat me down and went like "it's no problem when you're lesbian..." and looking back at it it was quite hilarious considering my sister was a closeted lesbian at the time
That was funny. Our son just told his Dad out right. His Dad was upset at first, but is totally fine with it now.
I'm gonna come out by sending this video to my parents
Update: I showed them the video and they didn't get the hint so I just told them. Their response was basically, "I'll love and support you no matter what, you'll always be our daughter" 😭
yooo good luck I believe in u ⭐
Oof man
Extra update: they now fully accept me and use the right name and pronouns consistently, for the last two years I've been on testosterone and I got top surgery done last year :)
@@lolzerous that’s awesome!
@@Ranpo_Edogawa954 thanks! Awesome pfp btw Mitsuba is the best tbhk character
You look SO amazing. I've always been so afraid of transitioning and the process. I don't know if I honestly want to transition (ftm) but I know I don't quite fit my own body sometimes. I know everyone is different, but recently after finding your channel, you're really helping me love myself a little bet more and more every time I watch or talk about my situation. Today my best friend told me that I am valid and I started tearing up. I've been so confused for so long, and I still am, but even during this stage, you inspire me.
OMG Jamie I loved this video. One of your best actually! I thought closeted you had nailed it with the straight-up no-nonsense text but I never saw "I'm Tarzan" coming. xD Funnily enough I always wanted to be Tarzan before coming out as trans lol
BecomingJayson lol I always wanted to be Tarzan as well!
You're in luck!
You came out as trans. You identify as Tarzan.
You're both. XD
God, I'm an idiot. XD
I expected autocorrect to say 'transformer', so 'Tarzan' was funnier.
@@demonking8803 ye you probably are xDDD
ya're not the only one x)
I came out with a joke:
You're looking a little see through,
almost Trans-Parent
Because I'm trans.
I think i stole the joke from somewhere but icr.
Oh can I steal this?
A friend of mine use to joke about her trans-parents because they disappeared the second she told them she was a girl. Bittersweet
I came out by going for a walk and texted my parents and waited for a response without having to actually talk to them. They were really accepting and nice and honestly they totally expected it. I texted my gran later and she was just as accepting and now all my family and friends know. Some of my friends still refer to me as she/her because they’re awkward about it and afraid to say the wrong thing but everyone uses Alex and most of them he/him pronouns.
The only people who doesn’t know is my extended family on dad’s side of the family, and let’s just say I’m not going to the family Christmas dinner.
This story is from a hardcore Christian family, my mum works as a full time priest and I go to church every Sunday. I wanted to just let you know how well it went for me even though the odds might’ve been against me.
Of course, never come out unless you’re ready and if you might be in danger, but I haven’t regretted it a singe time. Coming out was probably the best experience of my life. :)
This video helped me so much! I think a few more days and I'm ready to tell my parents that I'm trans! Thank you for posting this video!
When I came out as bi I left a letter for my Mum and dad, they found it and thought I’d run away, came charging up to my room and found me still asleep.After they woke me up they read the letter and were like, “yeah sweetie no shit...” 😂😅❤️
Good luck to anyone who is coming out ❤️💛💚💙💜
Love the acting with you playing your dad and his possible reactions. Don't think I will ever be able to come out to either parent.

“All right, sit tight, the lesbians are on their way,”
I want to tell my family it's just I'm really not good at explaining myself or getting my point across- especially if I'm nervous. I also don't want to write a letter as I still find that really hard to do and I feel like it's a little dramatic(?) for my family. Like, I don't want to make it a big deal if that makes sense. I'm kind of stuck on what to do I've been trying for 3 years.
My advice would be to just sit them down, go "I'm transgender" and talk it out with them as much as needed (let them ask questions etc)
Omg I really get you, I had the same problem for a very long time and I really feel you on the "dramatic" part I had the same thoughts! I eventually (about a month ago) told them "I want to talk to you about something" to make it impossible/harder to back out and then I finally managed to tell them
If you feel like you're not good at explaining, maybe you could show your family a video explaining it / a trans youtuber / something like that after telling them you're trans and then just answer their questions. They're your family, so I'm sure they love you and will try to understand you ;)
You can do it, I wish you luck~
You could try and find one of those videos thats like 'this is your son/daughter/child coming out as transgender' and send it to them?
Same
I tried going the outright “I’m trans” way and then that failed because I couldn’t say it (got too scared to do it) so now I’m going to just bake a gender reveal cake and give my parents a heart attack first by letting them think I’m pregnant (ew)
Either that or I’m doing something related to Hamilton (which we’ve all seen and love). “Son, I need you alive-“ “CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME. Please. Seriously, please do it again.”
how did it go?
How was it?? Is everything okay?
i'm thinking of just saying 'i need to talk to u abt something!!' bc there's no backing out:p
Your avatar is magestic...
Not being able to back out can be a good thing
pjoj yea :)) i did that
I did it in attempt to come out to my sister here was the conversation:
Me: I need to talk to you about something
Sister: what is it?
Me: *sweats aggressively*
Sister: are you ok?
Me: *whispers quietly* I'm genderfluid
Sister: whatd you say?
Me: nothing I just wanted to talk to you!!! Nothing specific!!! Hahaha!!!
WASTED
The sad thing is this is how i came out as pansexual and then later I learned that I'm a lesbian
As he hanged up the "ITS A BOY" sign I first thought, that the dad would be like "You got someone pregnant?" and then I realised "wait... no" brainlag at it's best xD
#10 ended like a cliffhanger to a tv drama
Ryan Thompson right
..like one of those 'very special' episodes.
Autocorrect is so relatable. To prove my point, my phone decided to turn “relatable” into “reliable” twice while I was typing this comment.
This video made me SOOO happy! XD As a transboy myself, I didn't get to come out (school unfortunately did it for me) and my parents/entire family didn't take it too well. Your videos give me a lot of hope for my future tho! I'm so glad you're here making these awesome videos and making me laugh while you're at it. I'm giving a big like and I want you to have a fantastic day :) (also I love your t-shirts they're awesome)
Now im curious how school can come out for you🤔
Sends text quickly without reading.
"I'm Tarzan!!"
DYING HERE...
You are tooo funny!
My dad was teaching me how to change a tire when I came out to him. I liked that because I had an excuse to not make eye contact. His response was "well you're already pretty man-ish so I guess it won't be much of a difference". The only thing he needed to get used to were the pronouns and the name change.
I came out to my dad when he was fixing a bike. He accepts me and wants me to come out to my mom which im doing today as of writing this
Today is the day I’m telling my mom
I’m finally telling her I’m Tarzan
I came out to my mom in a Walmart parking lot lol
Just starting my journey as a trans woman and this video really helped calm some of the anxiety I was feeling about coming out to the world. Needed some humor. Haha
I doubt anyone will see this but one way you can come out is if you are in school and your parents talk about your day at dinner you can say something like this.
"So how was your day at school today? "
"Good" You can say or anything else.
"Did you learn anything today? "
"Yeah. So quick question. In health ( or what ever class you think would work) we were talking about genders and they gave us a piece of paper that had a few questions on it. They had things like do you have more male or female friends ( you can use any question you want) and one question asked if we were a boy or a girl and I put boy" ( again use the gender you are. So if your ftm and you want to be called Tim, boy you can say 'I put boy' or if you are mtf and want to be called Fiona, girl you can say 'I put down girl') then ask,
"Are you okay with that" If yes then say.
"Okay (cool, great, thanks. What ever word you want to use) but can you call me" Then say your preferred name.
If they are not okay with it just say something simple like "It was just a dare (pick a name) told me to do" Or you can try to explain that you are Transgender.
I don't know if this will work I never used it. This is just an idea that you can use. If it goes bad cover it up with a different topic or class. Be safe when coming out. I know it is scary but please make sure you will be safe when doing it and have a backup plan just in case it all goes horrible. Stay safe.
you could say that transgender people were mentioned in your health class and you were wondering their opinion?
Thank you so much for the inspirational video! It was entertaining, creative and also made me feel better about myself. My gender dysphoria can be crippling at times and there are times when it overwhelms me. I am working on helping my parents come to terms with my gender identity as a transgender male. It is difficult because of their cultural Asian stereotypes of binary gender and also that they have specific attributes that they attribute to masculinity and I don't seem to fit those standards. I believe men and women both can be creative, artistic, emotional, empathetic and compassionate. Men don't need to be great at working with tools or doing repairs or good in STEM areas. The stereotypes of gender only limit us from being our true selves. Only when we get rid of the box, can we truly explore who we are as individuals. I love all those who struggle to find who they are because you all are special. Thank you for sharing your story as it inspires many others!
Hahaha, I wish I could had came out to my dad in a funny way, he saw me crying and then we had the talk.
But I'm glad he accepted me :)
Great video, Jamie!!! XD
And good luck everyone!!!!!!! XD
Julz T. Lucky.. I was forced to come out when I didn't want to, and then they told me I was just 'trying to be someone from youtube'
Julz T. You're sooo lucky... My mum and dad refuse to call me their son. And tell all of my new friends I'm a girl. I'm so sick of it
Thx
Lmao my parents looked through my phone and saw the email that confirmed my address for buying a binder. Fun times
Here's a cheer you could do:
C-I-S-G-E-N-D! E TO THE R THAT IS NOT ME!
*Idk how to say the tune but like you can figure it out*
Yooooo why is that so catchy?
6:20 those look so much like my sheets omg I just realized I've been sleeping in the trans flag colours all this time
I've been depressed all my life and I always think that something's wrong with me. A lot of things are wrong with me actually. I just thought that I'm a supreme weirdo. Until I got into meditation and self-acceptance practice, and suddenly all is figured out: that I'm actually a boy all along. It all suddenly make sense, and that's the exact shoes that I'll be fitted in. I was in constant denial and kept refusing the thoughts every time it came across since I came from a mildly religious Muslim family--in the biggest Muslim country in the world. This pain me bad. I knew I could never came out or they would kick me out of the house and or even send me somewhere to 'cure' me and violate my rights as a human being. My mother had kick me out of the house before only because I cut my hair off. Now I know that perhaps I wouldn't get the skin that I wanted or live the life with my own proper identity in this world. And if that's the case, I'll be alright. Even though I wish, I hope, a miracle will appear. But I would never be able to live a life as a woman. I could never get married, and I could never mingle in society with my current state. My plan is to find a decent job and buy me a nice house to separate me from my family and all of the people. And just live in isolation until the end of my times. I wish you all a happy and fulfilling life.
Idk why but this is seriously really helpful for me. It's calming all the anxiety i have about coming out, and I've been thinking of writing a little letter/sending a text. Oof I have so many emotions towards it.
Funny thing is, you’re the reason I discovered the term transgender existed and started questioning my gender, discovering myself along the way! I had no idea it existed before but I’m so glad I found out; I didn’t feel alone anymore, because there were more people like me out there, so thank you. You helped me keep hope and learn more about myself,
I’ve been super scared to come out to my parents bc I don’t know what they think about trans people and they’ve made some trans-related jokes-
This vid gave me a little boost in confidence! Probably not coming out anytime soon but I feel better about it ^^
Love your (over) acting & Shaaba's filmmaking skills & your epic fails!
I came out to my mom and brother via email. I told my mom that she could tell any family members that she wanted to. She told my aunt, but said that I should personally come out to my grandparents. I wrote a letter to my grandparents coming out as trans and thankfully my family is very accepting!
theblueloner my family is not accepting and I have yet to tell my father not that I want to
I'm so sorry. That sucks :( Hopefully you will soon be able to find accepting people in your life!
If I told my dad, it would be:
Me: Dad, I'm trans
Dad: Cool! ...what does that mean?
Hi Jamie,
I really like your videos eventhough I know you exist for only 4 days now..
I just wanted to say that in these 4 days your videos really changed things for me. 5 years ago I realized I'm transgender although I've always known there's something different about me compared to "the other" girls but your videos have made me really think about what I want with my life.
Long story short (or at least shorter), I literally just came out to my mum. I tried to tell her before twice, but she didn't take me seriously. Now I feel like she actually did and I couldn't feel more relieved.
I'm really terrified for the future and all its changes and in which order I want to set them in motion, but I choose to be hopeful and optimistic.
Anyway, thank you for being you and for your videos.
Love
A funny way to come out is to write this on a letter:
“Dear parent/s the hospital was wrong it’s a boy/girl”
RIP bed. So much abuse. 😂🖤
Thanks for making this video 🖤
“Hey mum, I’ve got something to tell you”
“Sure, what is it?”
“I can’t quite seem to find the proper words...”
“C’mon sweetie, don’t be scared”
“Uhh... I don’t know, im too scared of your reaction”
“C’mon darling. Are the girls bullying you again?”
“No its not that”
“What is it then?”
“Uhhh... try to guess”
“No, tell me.”
“I’m... im a trans woman”
“Oh... okay... wanna pick another name? :)”
**silently dying inside**
Hi there, Tarzan.
I came out to my whole school by wearing a pride flag while my friend Sophia walked behind me and waved it around. Thanks Sophia lol
I want to but I have a bully that's trans
Omg Jamie this is awesum!! I laughed so much on the Tarzan and cheerleading scene. Thank u! Wishing everybody courage and love!!
I’m gonna come out as trans to my mom with the help of my therapist soon. My mom can be open minded but she gets wrapped up in older thinking. After my brother (they’re okay with me calling them my brother) came out as non binary my mom was completely okay with it. Same with the furry community, she believed they were all low life degenerates, but after my brother taught her otherwise she was super supportive. Plus she really trusts what my therapist says, so it’ll hopefully help her understand
I am planning on tying a helium "It's a boy" balloon (I work at a party shop) to a package containing two shirts I made saying "I ❤️ my trans son" and a note signed by Jamie. Does that sound like it would backfire?Thanks, you're one of my favourite people at the moment.
Well... I don't see many ways it can backfire... it sounds lovely though❤ hope it goes great
Just came out as nb to my best friend today and I want to say thanks for helping me finally (I'm 32) muster the courage to come out to someone offline 💕 I've been watching you for a while and your videos are invaluable. I think this one in particular helped me the most.
No way... Before 2 hours I had a serious conversation with my parents about me being the way I am and after a lot of crying, emotions and talking they accepted me for who I am! Right after the conversation ended and my parents went to their room I returned back to mine as well, went to my pc seeing this video. What a coincidence I can't stop laughing! :D
For all of you who still haven't come out to your parents or friends (the people you love and trust), it needs a bit of time and understanding.
People are different and everyone takes things differently, but those who truly love you will surely accept you the way you are.
This step is difficult for everyone and it takes time to get the confidence about it.
For me it took me about half a year to slowly start coming out to everyone. First to my very close friends, then to my classmates. It was easy for me to tell them since I know my people and I knew for sure that they will accept me. But the situation for my parents was completely different. When I tried talking about the things that make me uncomfortable, their reaction was sharp and unexpected. They weren't ready to know and I just felt it with my intuition.
Half a year ago I knew this would be a very difficult but important step in my life.
So how I started to show my parents that I am not what they think and wanted me to be?
I first started with removing my earrings. My mom was against it but after 2 or 3 weeks she gave up and allowed me to remove them. While shopping I was taking clothes from the male section and eventually my wardrobe changed with the clothes I feel comfortable in. Soo time and time passed. Before a month I decided that I was ready to cut my hair. I did so and today I finally had the feeling that I'm ready to talk with them. They knew that something wasn't alright. We started talking and I told them. They took it surprisingly well!
It was difficult but very worth trying. With time I gained the confidence needed and I did it.
I hope all of you will have supportive people by your side!
Oh and Jamie, thank you so much for everything you did and for trying to help people with your funny and yet useful videos! Thank you a lot!
The Tarzan one made me laugh a lot 😂 I feel for you about how hard it can be to say to people close to you.
