@@Rubiish_Axel Yeah, I saw it too... I was like "wait didn't I like and replied to this comment already? Why isn't it here anymore?" then scrolled down a bit and realized it's been stolen lol
Nobody reply to The werewolf of Tibet. They are replying transphobic, aphobic, and homophobic replies to (according to another person) over 100 comments. They are purposefully trying to pick fights. Just ignore them and move on.
When I came out as Bisexual to my parents my mom just said... "I've known that for a while, I was just waiting for you to figure it out. " I was shocked and was a bit upset she didn't say anything earlier when she realized, we talk about everything and anything so why not that? Lol!
When my aunt came out as lesbian to my grandma, Grandma said "honey we knew since you were two years old!" To put that in perspective, my aunt is now 80 and Grandma passed in 1996.
Funniest part might be that "aggressively supportive" isn't just an LGBTQ thing. Me and my brother are special needs, and my mom constantly talks and helps in Autism/Neurodivergent support groups, and befriends other moms who have special needs kids.
My mom doesn't really find other parents with neurodivergent children. We find the neurodivergent kids. I don't think that I ever had a neurotypical friend.
@@favoritechild7464 bruh are we the same person? I’m also autistic, enby, and pan! Except I don’t have aggressively supportive parents, so I wish I did. Aggressive autism supporters are a little different though. Makes me feel like that’s all people see when they look at me
@@favoritechild7464 Eh, I've got the other side of the parental spectrum- I can see how it would be super awkward and cringy, but at the same time it sounds kinda awesome, not having toxic parents that you're in the closet for because you're scared of being homeless. To be fair though, it seems like a "better by comparison" kind of thing. If I'd never experienced abusive parents then I'd probably think that overly supportive parents are THE WORST. Edit: I just realized it sounds like I'm saying "shut up, it's not that bad" but that's not my intent. Your feelings and experiences are valid, and annoyance is definitely an appropriate reaction to over-supportive parents. Sorry if my message came out wrong. I can delete it if it makes you feel better. 😅
The “gay is ok” card is so adorable 🥺🥺 I honestly wish I got that kind of support 🤧 I’m a feminine trans guy and my dad & boyfriend are really my only support. Respects to all my fellow trans boys and femboys out there 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 out or not, y’all are amazing! As well the everyone else who’s lgbtq+
I think the most 'boss' thing a trans person did was when a trans woman saw she was shown as 'M' on her license. She took her shirt off in public and got arrested, to which she responded 'You think I'm a man, why am I being arrested?' I could have missed some details, but that's more or less the gist of it
@@HelloHamburger I don't think she got thrown in jail for it. But women or someone who has breasts are not show their breasts in public in some/most countries
The woman at 6:00 is a total rocking heroine. "wrong and strong" goes straight into my working vocabulary. Happy NY, all you heroes and heroines and heroic others. Stay well.
I was raised in a rich white christian community. I never considered I could be anything other than cis straight until I realized my same gender friend had a crush on me. Then I realized OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I LIKE TIDDIES. Then I realized a year and a half later OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I DIDNT LIKE MY TIDDIES. I’m a proud bisexual non-binary person!!
"Aggressively supportive" is so funny. Also those supportive sibling misspellings are so wholesome! Wow, I actually do have Pokémon plushies in my room that I got before I knew!
Back in 2021 during lgbtq pride month i came out as asexual I'm 30 years old but I might of been asexual much longer maybe during my teen years I never knew there was a community of people that i could identify with and relate to if I knew about asexuality when I was 16 or 17 I would of came out sooner but I know now asexuality exists I have a word that's fits me perfectly yay ♠💜😊
Hey!! Me too!! I'm 30 and finally affirmed that I'm ace over the last year or two as well. I'd never been in a relationship or even liked anyone in that way. I was fine with that because, I was like, it happens when it happens, I'm not gonna get into a relation-sh*t just because that's what expected. Plus I loooove romance stories (movies, novels, manwah, anime, all of it!!) so I wasn't sure about being ace even though I knew about it like 5-6 years ago. But last year, I was like, naah, I'm just ace. Maybe even aro.
I've been asexual since grammar school, back than no one knew it was even a thing. They told me, I needed to have sx to develop a sexuality. (does it work like this for anyone?)
The fact that Jamie could certainly pass as a cis man if he tried and he looks significantly more masculine then me makes me feel very happy cause I’m non-binary amab and it makes me feel like I can truly look how I feel someday
2:40 Aw, this one reminds me of my siblings. They are both under the age of 10 and I got to teach them a few things about the LGBTQ+ community before my homophobic uncle could and they are the cutest and most supportive little kids. I have a little list: -Every time we are driving to church, we pass by a neighborhood with a few pride flags in it and they start bouncing around and excitedly point it out to me -One of their dolls uses they/them pronouns and the younger one just kinda walked up to me and told me all about them. -My siblings like to loudly host gay marriages in the kitchen and I'm the lawyer that helps them out a few minutes later when the couple gets divorced. -The older one of the two likes to doodle and wanted to make a gender neutral character and forgot what nonbinary was and told me they called them a birl (pronounced broil).
Well, I'm totally #2. Was always an ally despite being in a religion/denomination where that wasn't okay. Then when I was in my 30s I was working in an affirming church where I could openly be an ally without fear of being fired, and a friend just randomly asked me one night "do you think you might be bi?" Without any hesitation at all I said "most definitely." Suddenly I was "allowed" to actually consider that I may not be straight, and lo and behold...
Oh god yeah some times it takes someone else to say it. You spend ages questioning or denying yourself then someone says "you gay?" and you're automatically just like "yeah"
this was sortof me too!! i was just talking with some friends a few years ago and M, a lesbian, was joking around about "the straight girl" refering to me and i was just like......Wait am i tho? that doesn't sound right????? Suprise! I am actually a lesbian!
Affirming churches are awesome! I'm actually in the process of compiling a bunch of verses to prove to my parents that lgbt people should be accepted so my little brother can come out to them. I've had this sort of discussion with them before, so I finally asked them: "What do you think is a greater sin? Making lgbt people feel unwelcome from church to the point of abandoning god entirely, or letting them get married?" And then they went quiet. It's not following the Bible, it's just bigotry. I actually recently found out that I'm ace, and that being ace used to be controversial in the Christianity in the same way being lgbt is now. Your lineage was everything, and the people who didn't get married, called eunuchs, were seen as destroying what God wanted for them. However, in the New Testament, we see that one of the first gentile Christians was a eunuch. He wasn't made to get married or even told that he was wrong, they just accepted him. And I think that's a pretty clear picture of how we're supposed to interact with lgbt people. Nobody is ever debated into salvation, and that's not our job. Think of one person who had a religious argument and then converted. It just doesn't happen. What we're supposed to do is love people, and make everyone feel welcome. If we look at the Bible, we see that God uses EVERYONE. A lot of the people who are admired and revered also did some pretty crappy and unethical things. And that's the point. So why are we discriminating against lgbt people, who have done nothing wrong by simply existing? It makes no sense to me. Congrats for being able to come out!
I really like the lady who "supports LGBTQ and all the other alphabeths". Greetings to all the LGBTQA+ people who use writting system other than roman alphabet from me too o/
2:00 never have I wanted to hug someone as much as that lady. What a god damn sweet lady. I'm crying cuz that is so so so god damn sweet but also funny af xD
Sometimes, when a character's or historical figure's sexuality is discussed, I'll take a pause and say or type 'They're likely gay, OR bisexual in a same-sex relationship'. I've noticed 'forgetting' bisexuality is a little too easy at times.
my 13 year old just asked what gender to put on an application for a charter school next year. i said “What do you mean? Are m or f the only choices?” they said non binary was also an option. i said well since you’re non binary then check the non binary box. they were asking my permission i think. We love our children regardless of gender or sexuality or we all should anyway
Aaaaaaw that is so sweet 😭😭😭🌟 Your child is so, so lucky to have you as their parent :'D You’re amazing 🌟😭💫🌌 ( *You know, i think that that "permission" you gave them made them really happy, being officially recognised as the gender you are by someone you love can easily make you happy for the whole day, even the whole week, and knowing someone you care about supports you is helping you through any situations :')* ) And yes, i do agree, all parents should, and we really do need more parents like you (Sorry if what i say doesn't make much sense/seems weird, english is not my first language and i apology if there is any mistake in my comment/reply and if i seem intrusive and/or rude)
Why are you *telling* them which option to pick? I would think it would be much better to *ask* them which one they think fits them best, and to explain what the options mean if they're unsure. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about them possibly feeling pressured to identify as non-binary, or if it was just a missed opportunity to promote them thinking for themselves (one anecdote is not a lot to go off of). But the advice applies in either case.
0:59 i actually had a teacher that wouldn’t allow us to eat bread because she was on a diet. she didn’t like the kids eating processed meat (bologna, ham, etc.) and i don’t think she even let us eat yogurt either. she deprived literal 7 year olds of food that literally everyone else ate BECAUSE SHE WAS ON A DIET!! i never liked her. thanks a lot mrs. angel
Jamie, thank you for making these videos. Watching them when you discuss sexuality helped me realize I am bi recently. The pokemon stuffed toys segment killed me
My main friend group almost entirely consisted of lgbtq+ members for years before I came out as bi I had already had a lot of interest in it so it kinda helped knowing that the people I didn’t want to lose would accept me
I started identifying as a Bisexual when I was 11, which made my parents believe I wanted to be LGBTQ because my friends are. I can’t bring myself to deny what my parents say, but all I know is that I like women and men and that’s it.
I'm one of these people. When I started watching this I was monoamorous, cis and hetero. Now I am polyamorous and questioning my gender and sexuality (I think I'm bisexual and demigirl/agender, still a little unsure). And I love your videos, it always makes me happy. ^^
1:45 I love reading through comments either on old videos, reddit threads, etc saying they're an ally but enjoy the content, and then the "edit: turns out I'm _____ after all" Not that every ally is queer, but that it's awesome to see people fully realize who they are and be themselves
I feel like I have the most uneventful coming out and i’m glad. I was literally just walking down the stairs decided fuck it and said “i’m gay” to my parents as i passed them. I just kept walking
A few years ago I found this amazing streamer who is trans and I loved talking with her. Fast forward like a year or so after and it turns out I'm non binary lol
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sorry to hear you've been feeling sad as well, hope you feel better soon. I'm currently waiting for my test result as my bro and sis both tested positive.
Ugh i remember getting covid at the last few months of 2020 and it was fucking horrible, i only had the mild symtoms which was having a blocked nose, fever and cant taste anything, even tho i was literally the most introvert person ever at the time, so i cant imagine how horrible it must be for you especially when youre lonely and you might not have anyone there to help you out. I hope you get well soon 💖
As an anthropologist I can say that even ancient, Rome, Greece, and Egypt had majorly bisexual or pansexual individuals. It was actually thought of as more odd to only be into one gender, especially if that gender was the opposite of one's own. There were also many transgender individuals, some of which were emperors and pharaohs. I only name those three places to start because they are some of the easiest to find information on. Even some Scandinavian and Celtic places would embrace it, same goes for native Americans. There were tribes that perceived those who were non-binary, gender fluid, or transgender as being above those who were not. They saw them as being either closer to the gods or as deities themself. Christianity didn't originally condemn those who are a part of the LBGTQ+ community, that came later. People would either change the meaning in differing religious text or it would be re-written to accommodate the more hateful and controlling beliefs. People have used religion to control others for a long time. There are many places that have it far worse than western civilisation. People get murdered for it in the west but it's at least illegal, even if not given proper justice. In places such as the middle east it's more acceptable and even thought as the right thing to do to anyone who is part of the LGBTQ+. Which is of course followed up with hypocrisy, akin to how they would want a woman killed who does porn. Yet men there do protests to legalise porn, although they would still think a woman deserves the death sentence if she does it. I realize the two are separate, I just wanted another way to show their hypocrisy. We should be aware of the hypocrisy in the west, for those from here. Either way I could get into this further but this is already a long message for TH-cam.
Lmao I remember being like “cis ally” and then I discovered the label demigirl :) rather than being a cis sapphic girl (still am very much sapphic!! Mmmm women!)! But I started off watching TH-camrs like you, Sam Collins, Samantha Lux, NoahFinnce, etc. (regularly, I watched you all a bit once in a while) for educational purposes, especially when I started becoming close friends with trans/non-binary people. ☺️ (my pronouns are she/they, please use them both)
"Mmm women" I felt that on a spiritual level lol. The way I discovered that I was pan was like "hmm I like men so I'm not gay. But woman tho... So maybe I'm bi? But also nonbinary ppl.." back then I didn't know what pansexuality was lol. Also great for you ^^ I'm happy that you've found labels that make you feel comfortable. Isnt that the best feeling ^^ Okay, that's all I had to say. have a great day 😁😁😁
@@phoenix370 Yessss, I am still questioning my sexuality, I go between bisexual and lesbian it seems lmao. I’ve been out as not straight for a little over 2 years now, though! It feels so liberating to not have to pretend anymore!! ☺️ (Btw, please read my other comment, just for clarification. It’s not specifically directed at you. I just can’t tell entirely what all you meant by “so maybe I’m bi? But also non-binary ppl…”.
@@nicegenderbro8814 Yesss, I’m sure they didn’t mean it that way. But just to clear things up for anyone, bisexual people can be attracted to non-binary people. Pansexual means being attracted to a person despite their gender identity, it’s not what matters.
I love the new camera! It looks super clear. You picked a great wholesome topic to return to for the new year, thank you. I always look forward to your videos all week.
I love parents getting kids pride merch. I came out last October to my parents (supportive reaction!), and 2 days ago I got a late Christmas present that was a T-shirt that said I've got an ACE up my sleeve (It's me, I'm ace, and I'm in these sleeves) It was my first piece of pride merch
Hello, Jamie, and Happy New Year!💜 I really needed one of your videos today! I am one of those people who started to watch you because I considered myself an ally and ended up discovering at 33-years-old I'm actually part of the LGBTQ+ community. The last 2 years have been quite a ride for me: lost loved ones, struggled with major depression, toxic family dynamics and hellish job environments and unemployement, eventually found out I'm neurodivergent in a country where nd adults are practically left with no support, ASD in children is still hugely pathologized and stigmatized and finding a specialist who actually knows the topic and is willing to assess us is a calvary. Not to mention discovering being Queer while living in a country that still denies LGBTQ+ people basic equality and respect, coming from a bigoted small hamlet and an oppressing Catholic environment. I know the journey that awaits for me won't be an easy one but, after years of self-loathing and hurt, I've never felt more love, respect, compassion and acceptance for me and all the other human beings that are facing similar struggles. I know it will be worth it. And I'm so grateful to people like you for sharing your stories and giving to people like me the possibility to truly start to understand and value ourselves! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the happiness in this world!🤗🌈 PS. I forgot to mention I have a huge crush on a trans guy who barely knows I exist, I hope in a less pandemic future to get a chance to meet him in person and who knows?
Finally realised I was ace this year and even though I'm still in the closet (or rather the deck), I am proud to be a member and ally of the LGBTQ+ community! 🏳🌈 Jamie please keep being adorable & happy new year! 🥺
I remember when my friends were explaining the lgbtq+ to me cuz a lived under a rock and I was like "oh thats cool," and about a week later I was like "guys I think I bi," "Yeah we know," "How did you know I didn't even?" "Well we thought you were lesbian but you're dating a guy so bi seemed like the right choice, that or pan," So yea my friends knew before I did
Omg the aggressively supportive Filipino mom 😂 as a Filipino i can tell you i wish my family was that supportive! She sounded just like my Lola tho 🤣 (grandma)
"You've been watching my videos for years as a cis ally, then one day you were like 'ah shit, I'm trans!'" Jammi Dodger did NOT have to call me out like that god damn
8:55 : *"congratulations everyone with the initial 'M'! You are now gay-"* Me, trans-masc gay and named Mortemer since early 2021: *suprised pikachu face*
I started watching as a straight woman, then straight ace woman, then aroace woman, then aroace lesbian woman, then aroace bi woman, then ace bi woman, then ace demigirl lesbian, and finally grayromantic ace genderfluid lesbian. It’s been interesting.
I started as an omni ????, omni bigendeflux, omni fluidflux. But if we're talking abt my whole experience cis/het, cis/bi, bigender/bi, bigender/omni, ???/omni, bigenderflux/omni, fluidflux/omni
The thing was, before you even said you were using a new lense the first thing I thought was "Wow, Jamie looks much shaper and clearer than usual." So yeah, the new lense is better.
My parents told me if I were gay I would be disowned. Jokes on you im bi and demisexual. My wife (at the time of marriage was still going as my husband) is trans. Idc what you look like beebs, as long as i can connect with you on a emotional level, idc what your genitals are 🥰
AYO JAMIE!!!! IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!! My best friends brother (who, for context, is transphobic) is in a group chat with them and our friends and we have a section where we put our name and pronouns in case anyone's confused. My pronouns are he/ it/ xe/ bun, and I'm a fem presenting afab. HFJZNDJDJDJKDKD YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID?!?!?!?! HE ASKED ME HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY!!!!!! BFNSJDJJDJZJBS
@@schokoloko2092 Ok, so they're xe/ xyr and bun/ bunself. And u use them like this: They went to the park by themself = Bun went to the park by bunself = Xe went to the park by xyrself There name is Vix = Buns name is Vix = Xyr name is Vix = Lots of people are confused by the nounself pronouns, and why people use them, but honestly, I don't know why 😅. It just feels right I guess. I hope this helped!
Vent i guess I went to the mall with my parents and brother and it sucked. We went to the boys clothes section for my brother and I was jealous cause I saw so many things I wanted but just couldn't get. I'm transmasc (not out to anyone) and my parents can't even fathom getting me a plain t shirt if it's from the boys section. I needed some socks, so I grabbed some off a shelf. My mother said and I quote 'those socks are from the boys section we can't get those'. I literally died on the inside. How am I ever gonna come out to them. The nightmare doesn't end though. I wanted a hoodie, so we went to the hoodie section. I found a hoodie i relly liked, but again it was from the boys section. So i said nothing. My parents then picked that hoodie and said it would look good on my brother and that he should try it on. He did, and seeing him wear that killed me on the inside. If I was luckier, I could have looked like that. Like a boy. With a deep voice and facial hair. But instead I got everything I never wanted. A female puberty. My parents then picked out a hoodie for me, cause I asked to go there in the first place. They picked a fuzzy pink jacket and I immediately refused. They asked me if I wanted anything else, from the GIRLS section. I was freaking out internally, almost in tears. I can't do anything about it. Every single thing that makes me feel masculine is something I took from my brother. It sucks to know that no one will ever see me as I am, a regular average teenage boy. Oh well
1) Big hugs and support. 2) I don't understand why liking plain practical style is such a problem. Your story tears me up. 3) It gets better. You can be who you are. If I can quote Jammie, much love.
Hey, I’m so sorry. I’m cis so I don’t fully know how I can help, but just know people are here for you. You *will* be recognised as an average teenage boy, and a man soon enough (more masculine at least!). You will eventually become the identity you want to be. I’m sorry that your parents don’t understand but at the end of the day they can’t fully control you forever- one day you’ll move out and start to live fully as yourself. That day will come 🥰 do you earn any pocket money or have a job? If you do, could you perhaps quietly buy more masculine things by yourself? Much love.
i know exactly how you feel, and the jealousy too. it sucks. my mom found out i got clothes from the mens section one time and threw them away. she makes everything about gender and over-feminizes me. i’m sorry you have to experience such a similar situation. i hope it gets better for you
If you are masculine come out as a tomboy. They won't know unless you tell them. Tell them you don't enjoy wearing girl clothing and if they won't buy boy clothing for you that you will find a way to earn money and buy what you want to wear yourself. Hopefully once they realize that you are a tomboy they will cave in.
1:31 This…is exactly what happened to me. I’ve supported the community my whole life. At some point in high school (I think) I realized I was asexual. And then a couple of months ago, I realized I was Bi. Or at least, that’s the term I feel comfortable with at the moment. So yeah…life works in mysterious ways👍
Whoever is reading this i send hugs and great vibes. Drink water, eat food, nap, take a break, take care of yourself gosh darn it. And if you don't I swear I will find you and keep you in a cottage and take care of you. 🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🤗🤗💜💜
hi jamie! although i’m still in the closet, i’m slowly beginning the process of transitioning and your content has really helped me feeling confident enough to do that! you also indirectly helped me figure out that i’m trans, so thank you for that :D you’re such a cool person and a real inspiration for so many people!
Happy New Year, Jamie! Just wanted to thank you for everything you do for this community, seriously, you are absolutely amazing!! I'm planning on coming out to my family this month, and I really want to say that this channel, this safe space, has helped me so much and thanks to all of you I'm now ready to finally be me, without having to hide myself from my own family. Hopefully, it'll all go well. They seem to be allies, or at least they try. Anyway, thank you! And to anyone that's reading this, you're amazing, you're valid. It's okay to feel bad sometimes, just don't let the negativity flood you. Take your time, you can do it :)
I feel number 2 so hard. I always knew I was bi, but I thought I was a cis ally forever until I started watching you and OT all the time and realized that I was enby. Ffs, I'd been using an egg as my logo for a decade! I chose it on purpose because I knew I felt incomplete and "unhatched" (as it were), but never knew it might have meaning in the LGBTQIA+ community. 😅
The second one is me lmao. I was a really strong ally for my whole life, and I got sooo excited whenever I saw rep in the media. Fast forward to years later, and lo and behold, I’m bi.
Happy New year to you! 🎉🥳 My fav was the argument about the cookies as well lol, There should be a tee shirt with that! (If you haven't noticed by now, I have a tee shirt collection with LOTS of different sayings on it depending on my mood)
Jamie is like I should have not told about the quality thing and should have checked the comments, me be like, wait a min, he reads the comments 😂?! Also yes the quality is good love you and your vids Jamie, love from India, I came to know so much about trans people by your videos
I used my film school degree 🎥 for the first time in a decade when I immediately noticed this video was sharper and had warmer colors than your previous videos (before you mentioned the lense) giving it a more intimate feel. Keep the new lens! And I used my new estrogen 🏳️⚧️ for the thousandth time today when I thought "yup, the sharper he is the hotter he looks." Not temperature-wise. Well, you're temperature anyway 😉
One big reason I’m making an extra effort to be nice to my younger brother is so that when my parents tell him being gay isn’t ok he’ll listen to me instead and know it is
As a bisexual man, I find it rather comforting to know I don't exist; That means I don't have to get my car registered.

Funniest part might be that "aggressively supportive" isn't just an LGBTQ thing. Me and my brother are special needs, and my mom constantly talks and helps in Autism/Neurodivergent support groups, and befriends other moms who have special needs kids.
I have autism and my my mom goes on social media to find other parents with kids that have autism, very relatable.

To be fair though, it seems like a "better by comparison" kind of thing. If I'd never experienced abusive parents then I'd probably think that overly supportive parents are THE WORST.
Edit: I just realized it sounds like I'm saying "shut up, it's not that bad" but that's not my intent. Your feelings and experiences are valid, and annoyance is definitely an appropriate reaction to over-supportive parents.

The woman at 6:00 is a total rocking heroine. "wrong and strong" goes straight into my working vocabulary. Happy NY, all you heroes and heroines and heroic others. Stay well.
I was raised in a rich white christian community. I never considered I could be anything other than cis straight until I realized my same gender friend had a crush on me. Then I realized OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I LIKE TIDDIES. Then I realized a year and a half later OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I DIDNT LIKE MY TIDDIES.
I’m a proud bisexual non-binary person!!
“OH SHOT I SHOULDA KNOWN I LIKE TIDDIES” I love that so much
"OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I LIKE TIDDIES" "OH SHIT I SHOULDA KNOWN I DIDN'T LIKE MY TIDDIES"
Lol that's ✨golden✨ 😂😂
I finally realized that latter bit myself at 30 lol
LMAO I LOVE YOUR ENERGY DUDE,, this is by far the best comment I’ve seen on here
woo congrats
jamie hearing someone say bi men don’t exist while LITERALLY being a bi man: yea they exist lol
"Aggressively supportive" is so funny. Also those supportive sibling misspellings are so wholesome! Wow, I actually do have Pokémon plushies in my room that I got before I knew!
*looks over at the Rowlet plushie sitting on my bed that I got before I found out*
Yep, I like you even more now
6:22 "It cancels out like PEMDAS" made me lose it
Back in 2021 during lgbtq pride month i came out as asexual I'm 30 years old but I might of been asexual much longer maybe during my teen years I never knew there was a community of people that i could identify with and relate to if I knew about asexuality when I was 16 or 17 I would of came out sooner but I know now asexuality exists I have a word that's fits me perfectly yay ♠💜😊
pride 2021 can't come sooner for me as well because I'm just gonna wear a subtle ace pin daily so friends who know the flag will realise hehe
@Cassandra Flannigan congrats fellow ace person 🖤🤍💜
Hey!! Me too!! I'm 30 and finally affirmed that I'm ace over the last year or two as well.
I'd never been in a relationship or even liked anyone in that way. I was fine with that because, I was like, it happens when it happens, I'm not gonna get into a relation-sh*t just because that's what expected. Plus I loooove romance stories (movies, novels, manwah, anime, all of it!!) so I wasn't sure about being ace even though I knew about it like 5-6 years ago.
But last year, I was like, naah, I'm just ace. Maybe even aro.
Just saying you’ve been asexual your whole life you just didn’t know till you were older
I've been asexual since grammar school, back than no one knew it was even a thing. They told me, I needed to have sx to develop a sexuality. (does it work like this for anyone?)
The fact that Jamie could certainly pass as a cis man if he tried and he looks significantly more masculine then me makes me feel very happy cause I’m non-binary amab and it makes me feel like I can truly look how I feel someday

Aw, this one reminds me of my siblings. They are both under the age of 10 and I got to teach them a few things about the LGBTQ+ community before my homophobic uncle could and they are the cutest and most supportive little kids.
I have a little list:
-Every time we are driving to church, we pass by a neighborhood with a few pride flags in it and they start bouncing around and excitedly point it out to me
-One of their dolls uses they/them pronouns and the younger one just kinda walked up to me and told me all about them.
-My siblings like to loudly host gay marriages in the kitchen and I'm the lawyer that helps them out a few minutes later when the couple gets divorced.
-The older one of the two likes to doodle and wanted to make a gender neutral character and forgot what nonbinary was and told me they called them a birl (pronounced broil).
Too wholesome 🥺🥺
This is too cute. (Also, I, a 21-year-old cis woman, have a stuffed animal using they/them pronouns called Star.)
his is the most adorable thing i have read ever omg !!
I WANT YOUR SIBLINGS PLEse thatsvsisjsis
The "birl" got me
That card that the little sister made was so adorable! Supportive younger siblings are the best!
Well, I'm totally #2. Was always an ally despite being in a religion/denomination where that wasn't okay. Then when I was in my 30s I was working in an affirming church where I could openly be an ally without fear of being fired, and a friend just randomly asked me one night "do you think you might be bi?" Without any hesitation at all I said "most definitely." Suddenly I was "allowed" to actually consider that I may not be straight, and lo and behold...
Oh god yeah some times it takes someone else to say it. You spend ages questioning or denying yourself then someone says "you gay?" and you're automatically just like "yeah"
@@od3910 I had honestly never even considered it before, but when she asked the answer was just immediate. Yes, yes I am!
Thanks for being nice to other people while you worked out your own path. It's a bonus that you were also being kind enough to yourself ... .
this was sortof me too!! i was just talking with some friends a few years ago and M, a lesbian, was joking around about "the straight girl" refering to me and i was just like......Wait am i tho? that doesn't sound right????? Suprise! I am actually a lesbian!
Affirming churches are awesome! I'm actually in the process of compiling a bunch of verses to prove to my parents that lgbt people should be accepted so my little brother can come out to them. I've had this sort of discussion with them before, so I finally asked them: "What do you think is a greater sin? Making lgbt people feel unwelcome from church to the point of abandoning god entirely, or letting them get married?" And then they went quiet. It's not following the Bible, it's just bigotry. I actually recently found out that I'm ace, and that being ace used to be controversial in the Christianity in the same way being lgbt is now. Your lineage was everything, and the people who didn't get married, called eunuchs, were seen as destroying what God wanted for them. However, in the New Testament, we see that one of the first gentile Christians was a eunuch. He wasn't made to get married or even told that he was wrong, they just accepted him. And I think that's a pretty clear picture of how we're supposed to interact with lgbt people. Nobody is ever debated into salvation, and that's not our job. Think of one person who had a religious argument and then converted. It just doesn't happen. What we're supposed to do is love people, and make everyone feel welcome. If we look at the Bible, we see that God uses EVERYONE. A lot of the people who are admired and revered also did some pretty crappy and unethical things. And that's the point. So why are we discriminating against lgbt people, who have done nothing wrong by simply existing? It makes no sense to me. Congrats for being able to come out!
6:25 "Cancels out like PEMDAS." I've never heard that phrase be used before but it totally fits omg.
I really like the lady who "supports LGBTQ and all the other alphabeths". Greetings to all the LGBTQA+ people who use writting system other than roman alphabet from me too o/

Sometimes, when a character's or historical figure's sexuality is discussed, I'll take a pause and say or type 'They're likely gay, OR bisexual in a same-sex relationship'.
I've noticed 'forgetting' bisexuality is a little too easy at times.

Fun fact: Sappho (the lesbian icon) was likely bi!

my 13 year old just asked what gender to put on an application for a charter school next year. i said “What do you mean? Are m or f the only choices?” they said non binary was also an option. i said well since you’re non binary then check the non binary box. they were asking my permission i think. We love our children regardless of gender or sexuality or we all should anyway
Aaaaaaw that is so sweet 😭😭😭🌟
Your child is so, so lucky to have you as their parent :'D
You’re amazing 🌟😭💫🌌
( *You know, i think that that "permission" you gave them made them really happy, being officially recognised as the gender you are by someone you love can easily make you happy for the whole day, even the whole week, and knowing someone you care about supports you is helping you through any situations :')* )
And yes, i do agree, all parents should, and we really do need more parents like you

@leet man lol
@leet man you mad lgbt youth exists???
@leet man since when did mama x say they get their kid hormone treatments? In fact, I highly doubt a child can get hormone treatments.
Why are you *telling* them which option to pick?
I would think it would be much better to *ask* them which one they think fits them best, and to explain what the options mean if they're unsure.
I'm not sure if I should be concerned about them possibly feeling pressured to identify as non-binary, or if it was just a missed opportunity to promote them thinking for themselves (one anecdote is not a lot to go off of). But the advice applies in either case.

i actually had a teacher that wouldn’t allow us to eat bread because she was on a diet. she didn’t like the kids eating processed meat (bologna, ham, etc.) and i don’t think she even let us eat yogurt either.

My main friend group almost entirely consisted of lgbtq+ members for years before I came out as bi I had already had a lot of interest in it so it kinda helped knowing that the people I didn’t want to lose would accept me
"I support the LGBT and all the alphabet" literally the only time where this was funny to me, so cute as well 😂😂
“Gays can’t get married because its against my religion” that makes sense cause you can’t have a cookie because i’m on a diet.
I love watching Jamie! I’m cis personally, so I like educating myself by watching channels like this one and Samantha Lux :)
yo! thanks for educating yourself!
@@sxlver-soul of course
I reccomend Kat Blaque and Jessie Gender as well!
Same!
May i also recomend Luxeria? She is a trans woman with a great sense of humor
I started identifying as a Bisexual when I was 11, which made my parents believe I wanted to be LGBTQ because my friends are. I can’t bring myself to deny what my parents say, but all I know is that I like women and men and that’s it.
The video is definitely higher quality. The colours are so crisp and the glasses look so 4k.
I agree, it did seem very clear even before Jamie mentioned there was a new lens so I couldn't be biased on it by his words.
I haven’t watched jamie in almost a year and I immediately noticed the yellow tint and I even checked the video before this one to verify.
I'm one of these people. When I started watching this I was monoamorous, cis and hetero. Now I am polyamorous and questioning my gender and sexuality (I think I'm bisexual and demigirl/agender, still a little unsure). And I love your videos, it always makes me happy. ^^
1:45 I love reading through comments either on old videos, reddit threads, etc saying they're an ally but enjoy the content, and then the "edit: turns out I'm _____ after all"
Not that every ally is queer, but that it's awesome to see people fully realize who they are and be themselves
I feel like I have the most uneventful coming out and i’m glad. I was literally just walking down the stairs decided fuck it and said “i’m gay” to my parents as i passed them. I just kept walking

I just tested positive for the virus despite never going out. I’ve been sick, lonely, and sad but this video cheered me up. Thanks Jamie!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sorry to hear you've been feeling sad as well, hope you feel better soon. I'm currently waiting for my test result as my bro and sis both tested positive.
Hope you have a speedy recovery and feel better soon.

Ugh i remember getting covid at the last few months of 2020 and it was fucking horrible, i only had the mild symtoms which was having a blocked nose, fever and cant taste anything, even tho i was literally the most introvert person ever at the time, so i cant imagine how horrible it must be for you especially when youre lonely and you might not have anyone there to help you out. I hope you get well soon 💖
hope you’re feeling better as of recent!
As an anthropologist I can say that even ancient, Rome, Greece, and Egypt had majorly bisexual or pansexual individuals. It was actually thought of as more odd to only be into one gender, especially if that gender was the opposite of one's own. There were also many transgender individuals, some of which were emperors and pharaohs. I only name those three places to start because they are some of the easiest to find information on. Even some Scandinavian and Celtic places would embrace it, same goes for native Americans. There were tribes that perceived those who were non-binary, gender fluid, or transgender as being above those who were not. They saw them as being either closer to the gods or as deities themself. Christianity didn't originally condemn those who are a part of the LBGTQ+ community, that came later. People would either change the meaning in differing religious text or it would be re-written to accommodate the more hateful and controlling beliefs. People have used religion to control others for a long time. There are many places that have it far worse than western civilisation. People get murdered for it in the west but it's at least illegal, even if not given proper justice. In places such as the middle east it's more acceptable and even thought as the right thing to do to anyone who is part of the LGBTQ+. Which is of course followed up with hypocrisy, akin to how they would want a woman killed who does porn. Yet men there do protests to legalise porn, although they would still think a woman deserves the death sentence if she does it. I realize the two are separate, I just wanted another way to show their hypocrisy. We should be aware of the hypocrisy in the west, for those from here. Either way I could get into this further but this is already a long message for TH-cam.
Lmao I remember being like “cis ally” and then I discovered the label demigirl :) rather than being a cis sapphic girl (still am very much sapphic!! Mmmm women!)! But I started off watching TH-camrs like you, Sam Collins, Samantha Lux, NoahFinnce, etc. (regularly, I watched you all a bit once in a while) for educational purposes, especially when I started becoming close friends with trans/non-binary people. ☺️ (my pronouns are she/they, please use them both)
"Mmm women" I felt that on a spiritual level lol. The way I discovered that I was pan was like "hmm I like men so I'm not gay. But woman tho... So maybe I'm bi? But also nonbinary ppl.." back then I didn't know what pansexuality was lol. Also great for you ^^ I'm happy that you've found labels that make you feel comfortable. Isnt that the best feeling ^^
Okay, that's all I had to say. have a great day 😁😁😁
@✨Phoenix✨ you can be bi and still like men, women, and enbies. I feel like that's one of the most common misconceptions about being bi/pan :)
@@phoenix370 Yessss, I am still questioning my sexuality, I go between bisexual and lesbian it seems lmao. I’ve been out as not straight for a little over 2 years now, though! It feels so liberating to not have to pretend anymore!! ☺️
(Btw, please read my other comment, just for clarification. It’s not specifically directed at you. I just can’t tell entirely what all you meant by “so maybe I’m bi? But also non-binary ppl…”.
@@nicegenderbro8814 Yesss, I’m sure they didn’t mean it that way. But just to clear things up for anyone, bisexual people can be attracted to non-binary people. Pansexual means being attracted to a person despite their gender identity, it’s not what matters.
I'm a cis lesbian but I like learning about other parts of the LGBTQ+ community and I love both Jamie and Samantha!
I love the new camera! It looks super clear. You picked a great wholesome topic to return to for the new year, thank you. I always look forward to your videos all week.
I love parents getting kids pride merch.
I came out last October to my parents (supportive reaction!), and 2 days ago I got a late Christmas present that was a T-shirt that said

It was my first piece of pride merch
That is so cool! ❤
Realized my queerness is 2021 at the age of 29! Partial credit to you and your videos Jamie for helping me makes sense of some things. 👍
nice one bestie
All of you are valid and amazing people who deserve so much happiness
Hello, Jamie, and Happy New Year!💜 I really needed one of your videos today! I am one of those people who started to watch you because I considered myself an ally and ended up discovering at 33-years-old I'm actually part of the LGBTQ+ community. The last 2 years have been quite a ride for me: lost loved ones, struggled with major depression, toxic family dynamics and hellish job environments and unemployement, eventually found out I'm neurodivergent in a country where nd adults are practically left with no support, ASD in children is still hugely pathologized and stigmatized and finding a specialist who actually knows the topic and is willing to assess us is a calvary. Not to mention discovering being Queer while living in a country that still denies LGBTQ+ people basic equality and respect, coming from a bigoted small hamlet and an oppressing Catholic environment. I know the journey that awaits for me won't be an easy one but, after years of self-loathing and hurt, I've never felt more love, respect, compassion and acceptance for me and all the other human beings that are facing similar struggles. I know it will be worth it. And I'm so grateful to people like you for sharing your stories and giving to people like me the possibility to truly start to understand and value ourselves! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the happiness in this world!🤗🌈 PS. I forgot to mention I have a huge crush on a trans guy who barely knows I exist, I hope in a less pandemic future to get a chance to meet him in person and who knows?
Finally realised I was ace this year and even though I'm still in the closet (or rather the deck), I am proud to be a member and ally of the LGBTQ+ community! 🏳🌈
Jamie please keep being adorable & happy new year! 🥺
In the deck is so cute!

"Well we thought you were lesbian but you're dating a guy so bi seemed like the right choice, that or pan," So yea my friends knew before I did

There name is Vix =

Vent i guess
I went to the mall with my parents and brother and it sucked. We went to the boys clothes section for my brother and I was jealous cause I saw so many things I wanted but just couldn't get. I'm transmasc (not out to anyone) and my parents can't even fathom getting me a plain t shirt if it's from the boys section. I needed some socks, so I grabbed some off a shelf. My mother said and I quote 'those socks are from the boys section we can't get those'. I literally died on the inside. How am I ever gonna come out to them. The nightmare doesn't end though. I wanted a hoodie, so we went to the hoodie section. I found a hoodie i relly liked, but again it was from the boys section. So i said nothing. My parents then picked that hoodie and said it would look good on my brother and that he should try it on. He did, and seeing him wear that killed me on the inside. If I was luckier, I could have looked like that. Like a boy. With a deep voice and facial hair. But instead I got everything I never wanted. A female puberty. My parents then picked out a hoodie for me, cause I asked to go there in the first place. They picked a fuzzy pink jacket and I immediately refused. They asked me if I wanted anything else, from the GIRLS section. I was freaking out internally, almost in tears. I can't do anything about it. Every single thing that makes me feel masculine is something I took from my brother. It sucks to know that no one will ever see me as I am, a regular average teenage boy. Oh well
1) Big hugs and support. 2) I don't understand why liking plain practical style is such a problem. Your story tears me up. 3) It gets better. You can be who you are. If I can quote Jammie, much love.
Hey, I’m so sorry. I’m cis so I don’t fully know how I can help, but just know people are here for you. You *will* be recognised as an average teenage boy, and a man soon enough (more masculine at least!). You will eventually become the identity you want to be. I’m sorry that your parents don’t understand but at the end of the day they can’t fully control you forever- one day you’ll move out and start to live fully as yourself. That day will come 🥰 do you earn any pocket money or have a job? If you do, could you perhaps quietly buy more masculine things by yourself?
Much love.
i know exactly how you feel, and the jealousy too. it sucks. my mom found out i got clothes from the mens section one time and threw them away. she makes everything about gender and over-feminizes me.
i’m sorry you have to experience such a similar situation. i hope it gets better for you
We'll see you as who you are. You're a regular teenage boy in a household that doesn't understand who you truly are.
Much much love
If you are masculine come out as a tomboy. They won't know unless you tell them. Tell them you don't enjoy wearing girl clothing and if they won't buy boy clothing for you that you will find a way to earn money and buy what you want to wear yourself. Hopefully once they realize that you are a tomboy they will cave in.
I instantly noticed a difference in the lens even before you said anything. It looks amazing!
1:31
This…is exactly what happened to me. I’ve supported the community my whole life. At some point in high school (I think) I realized I was asexual. And then a couple of months ago, I realized I was Bi. Or at least, that’s the term I feel comfortable with at the moment. So yeah…life works in mysterious ways👍
Your new camera is lit! The colors are MUCH more vivid and it’s much more sharp in general!
A sexuality lab? That sounds fascinating! Story time?!
Yes! I need more details!
Instantly noticed the better quality, love it bro!
Hi Jamie, your videos have helped a lot. The camera quality has definitely improved!

The new lens is a winner fella, looks much nicer, crisper and the light also looks better (guessing different aperture). Nice job!
Happy New Year, Jamie!
Just wanted to thank you for everything you do for this community, seriously, you are absolutely amazing!! I'm planning on coming out to my family this month, and I really want to say that this channel, this safe space, has helped me so much and thanks to all of you I'm now ready to finally be me, without having to hide myself from my own family. Hopefully, it'll all go well. They seem to be allies, or at least they try.

And to anyone that's reading this, you're amazing, you're valid. It's okay to feel bad sometimes, just don't let the negativity flood you. Take your time, you can do it :)
The second one is such a mood. I’ve been an ally since I first heard about the community and now I’m pan and questioning my gender
Camera quality looks amazing, reallu pleasing to look at!! Thank you for brightening my day with your videos, Jamie!!
I love these positive videos so much! I love watching them especially when I do my T shots, the wholesomeness calms me down lol
LOVE YOUR VIDS JAMIE! You’re amazing and always make my day better! :)
The card written by the younger sibling... I actually teared up! 💖😭💖
I feel number 2 so hard. I always knew I was bi, but I thought I was a cis ally forever until I started watching you and OT all the time and realized that I was enby. Ffs, I'd been using an egg as my logo for a decade! I chose it on purpose because I knew I felt incomplete and "unhatched" (as it were), but never knew it might have meaning in the LGBTQIA+ community. 😅
Fun fact: Gay is Okay was actually also a slogan during the late 60s/70s to for people with internalized homophobia
The second one is me lmao. I was a really strong ally for my whole life, and I got sooo excited whenever I saw rep in the media.
Fast forward to years later, and lo and behold, I’m bi.
Happy New year to you! 🎉🥳 My fav was the argument about the cookies as well lol, There should be a tee shirt with that! (If you haven't noticed by now, I have a tee shirt collection with LOTS of different sayings on it depending on my mood)
Jamie is like I should have not told about the quality thing and should have checked the comments, me be like, wait a min, he reads the comments 😂?! Also yes the quality is good love you and your vids Jamie, love from India, I came to know so much about trans people by your videos
Definitely noticed the increase in quality, looks great!
I used my film school degree 🎥 for the first time in a decade when I immediately noticed this video was sharper and had warmer colors than your previous videos (before you mentioned the lense) giving it a more intimate feel. Keep the new lens! And I used my new estrogen 🏳️⚧️ for the thousandth time today when I thought "yup, the sharper he is the hotter he looks." Not temperature-wise. Well, you're temperature anyway 😉
Everytime i watch one topic at a time or jammidodger it makes me so happy and euphoric. thank you, you two.
One big reason I’m making an extra effort to be nice to my younger brother is so that when my parents tell him being gay isn’t ok he’ll listen to me instead and know it is
