Just freeze the gender and keep it in the fridge. That's what I would do.
Unfortunately the freezing point of gender is lower than most fridges
@@saltysaltine9656 as a fluid myself, i can confirm this. We simply change colour and become more viscous in low temperatures
I gotta try that sometime
@I exist 🇺🇦 yep same here
@@theweirdestfish9962 yes the lower temperature I am the more green I am.
My friend came out to me, when we were 15 by telling me about the girl she had a crush on. We never talked about sexual orientation before. She talked about her crush for about 20 minutes, then stoped and said: "oh, by the way, I'm lesbian." No shit Sherlock, I would have never figured that out.
Today she's married to the girl she couldn't stop talking about that day. There so cute together.
That is the best thing I heard today, thanks for that.
That's so heart-warming! I wish them both everlasting happiness together 😊
this is a lovely story 💗
that is the cutest love story ever
This literally brought my mood up after a shitty day, so happy that they got a happy ending!!🧡
6:20 just because we're queer, doesn't mean we don't have standards
I had a weirdly opposite experience to the whole "straight friend immediately worries that newly-out LGBTQ+ friend is into them" thing. Back in middle school (when I still hadn't realized I was nb/ace and presented as cishet), a friend came out and instantly followed up with "don't worry, I don't have a crush on you or anything." I just had to awkwardly go "I...didn't think you did, man."
We talked more about it later and it was cool. We lost touch before the pandemic but from what I heard he was still doing pretty well for himself.
I love this subreddit!!! 😁😁😁
Today, I came out to my English teacher, I pretty much knew she was an ally but I couldn't quite tell her, but today she asked me about it bc she heard people calling me 'Elijah' (my chosen name) and will try and get my name changed on the English part of my report, so thats 2 confirmed teachers who know im transgender. Also, a boy in my class (most idiotic boy, is also most likely trans/homophobic bc his friends are all like that too) asked me what he should call me, bc half the calls calls me (deadname) and half call me Elijah, and im a bit surprised at how he took it, I feel like his transphobia isn't something I should care about much, he doesn't really care if I'm Elijah or (deadname)
I have had a few questions about LGBTQ that I’ve been a little afraid to ask because I don’t want to come across as homophobic. If it’s okay, I might just ask them here and see if anyone who reads this May know the answers.
1. Is it considered rude to ask someone who’s transitioned gender about their dead name? Like if your genuinely just curious about it, would it be rude to ask “what’s your dead name?”
Same with birth gender. Would it be considered rude if someone asked a, say, non binary person “were you born a male or female?”
2. If a Demi -boy identifies as gay, is he attracted to males or other dem-boys? Same with Demi-girls
Yes, most trans/genderqueer people consider it as rude or get uncomfortable if you ask those questions. Maybe if you know a person for a bit longer you could ask but if it's a person you just met who told you they're trans you want to avoid that. About question 2; i have no idea
As a gender-fluid, I approve these memes
In like 2005 we had a legendary PSHE teacher and we were discussing the topic of being gay. This one girl started on a rant like "but it's really gross though because if a girl is gay she might fancy me" and the teacher just blurted out "why would she fancy YOU?!" in this incredulous tone 😂 and this moment has stuck with me ever since
Love that
Would you mind explaining what PSHE means? (I think I may not be from your country, but I'd love to learn more.)
@@resourceress7 I think it stands for Personal, social, health, and economic. It's a government program run by the UK. I think in this scenario though you could think of them as Physical Education and Health Education teachers. The girl(not the commenter) sounds like she's sitting in Sex Ed, to be honest. Otherwise, maybe a government and politics teacher.
@@resourceress7 it stands for Personal Social Health Education. It’s mostly used to teach S1’s stuff like “don’t throw lit fireworks at people” and “don’t drink alcohol if your under 18”
OWWWWW...I hope the teacher also had some ointment nearby for that burn. XD
The opportunity for the joke “maybe they’re allergic to your BALL-shit” was right there hahahhaha
My brain actually heard him say it that way and had to go back and crush my own heart a tiny bit hahaha
that's very punny (not sarcasm)
Remember, if you come out and they respond with “OMG please don’t have a crush on me”, don’t hesitate, just say “ don’t worry, you’re not my type.”
Destroyed
The amount of humbling juice they’ll receive from that will toss them all the way into 3658, where gender no longer exists and everyone is referred to as “supreme species.”
Or, my personal favourite: "Don't worry, Im only attracted to pretty girls/boys"
Or a simple ‘ew why would I’

Things Asexuals love:
1. Cake
2. Puns
3. Garlic bread
4. Conquering Denmark
5. Dragons
6. Plants
I'd trade conquering Denmark for "World Domination". Let's think big, Ace friends!
Also: space!
7. World domination
correction! 4 is actually just world domination in general, conquering denmark is part of it yes but its just world domination.
Why specifically denmark?
@@jomydonegan3863 They know what they did

i have a friend who's a registered leftist, very modern, very urban, and she legit, dead-ass, introduced a transgirl as "this is X, she's trans" and saw nothing wrong with it. like... ok no deadnaming or wrong pronouns but... like... isn't that kind of weird to say though?? like i don't introduce her as "this is Y, she has a uterus". anyway i told her in private maybe don't do that in the future and she was super confused and a bit defensive. i'm not perfect, i've made plenty of mistakes in my life, but that was the first time i understood why some lgbt+ are a bit like "sure you are" towards allies. anyway, humans are never complete, we are always learning and growing, so please be patient. :3
true,also that was bad because could endanger her in front of homophobic people... mostly if trans, they're even more targeted than gay for example and most if are trans WOMEN
introduce her as a cis woman instead of just woman XD same logic lmao
Rule 1# of Ally club, don't out people unless they personally give you permission.
@@RiveroftheWither I agree with the rule, but I'd put that as rule #2. Rule #1 of Ally club would be to not assume you know WTF you're on about and listen.
I like to think of myself as an ally, and to do that I have to fully expect that I don't know everything, and to listen to people like Jamie, which btw is easy because Jamie is probably the sweetest person on the planet, and also super knowledgeable on the topic, and I will fight (not literally because I'm not a violent person) anyone who misgenders him.
Okay question, how does one become a registered leftist? Genuinely curious haha.
And one little thing, it's spelled trans girl, not transgirl, because trans is an adjective, and not a part of the noun. She's a girl who happens to be trans. Saying transgirl is kinda like saying blackwoman instead of black woman, it's weird. It makes it sound like she's not a girl but a transgirl, you know? Like that's a separate and different thing, like a third s3x or something like that, not just a girl who happens to be trans. I hope that made sense :)
And yeah you're right that that's a weird thing to do. I have this one friend who introduced someone to me as 'this is x, he's g@y' and I was like 'okay...?' It definitely made me think 'well I'm never coming out to that friend as anything lol'.
(Censoring words to avoid auto-delete, I know it's annoying)
As a genderfluid person, I can confirm that's our reaction to Mentos
All I can think about is the "Why are you running?!" Meme but as "Why are you raining?!" Instead
Yeah sorry bout the mentos there (I'm aroace)

@Jett How do you mean? I am curious as I am autistic. I study neuro psychology as one of my interests. Do you mean as being Neurodivergent or brain different? So autistic people are Neurodivergent as in our brains are wired differently. A substantial number of people in the neurodivergent community and the autistic community are LGBTQ+, and an even larger number of LGBTQ+ community is Neurodivergent. As I have been studying Neurodivergence vs. Neurotypicals. Neurotypicals have a compulsory need for likeness or sameness. Therefore, they have such a huge problem with not only the LGBTQ+ community but also the Neurodivergent community. This has made me question if all LGBTQ+ are not Neurodivergent. Your question may be giving me a little more clarity into my question. Maybe, not all LGBTQ+ are autistic, ADHD, OCD, turrets, Dyslexic, and so on and so forth, but by the nature of being LGBTQ+ they are Neurodivergent as in they are born brain different. As in the neurodivergence comes with the being LGBTQ+, and some also have with that autism and the other forms of neurodivergence. All this would mean is that their brains would be wired differently than Neurotypicals brains. Okay, you have given me a huge amount to think about tonight. One thing I have noticed is that most NDs are much more accepting of people who are not like them. In fact, we tend to appreciate people who are not like us and don't fit into society's norms. I realize that I used a lot of they them, because I am not part of the LGBTQ+ community. I am just here to learn about people who are different from me so I can be respectful. The deeper I study Neurodivergence, and the more I try to learn about the LGBTQ+ community for my own knowledge so I don't have to ask uncomfortable questions the more I started to realize the two have a lot in common, and how big the cross over is. As an autistic person, I always look at science which is why both are absolutely valid ways of being and both deserve respect. Yet, there is a relationship between the two communities that hasn't been tied together yet. OMG! Once the two become tied together then the NTs will go bat shit crazy, as they don't believe either one is valid. I have literally been told by NTs that autism is = to marvel characters and unicorns. The phobes are truly bat shit crazy!
@Jett Jamie is a great resource for an opinion, and a just a bundle of sunshine to be around in general, but I don’t know if he’s a “professional” take you’re looking for. Many studies have been done about people with ASD being LGBTQIA+, and more specifically trans/nb/gender-fluid/etc. I believe it has something to do with a lack of understanding social constructs, and gender and sexuality is just one big social construct. Autistics and neurodivergents have also a stronger sense of Justice and more of a tendency for self expression than neurotypicals. While the two (Autism and being LGBTQIA+) are correlated, I do not think one entirely depends on the other. There are plenty of interesting studies and topics covered on the subject you may want to look into if you’re truly interested like this.
@@lemongrassandsleep6352 Autistic = neurodiverse, but Neurodiverse doesn't = Autistic. All neurodiverse means are Brain different or one's brain is wired differently. Therefore, one can be neurodiverse and have a brain that is wired differently. One who has an autistic brain is wired differently, but that is not the only way that brains can be wired differently. Therefore, the LGBTQIA+ can be neurodiverse and not have a brain wired with any of the commonly known Autistic, ADHD, and so on and so forth. LGBTQIA+ is more likely just a different form of neurodiverse brain. Although many within the LGBTQIA+ community are autistic or ADHD or similar ND form, I am convinced that LGBTQIA+ is also a standalone neurodiverse. NTs I don't believe can be LGBTQIA+ because their brains are wired for sameness and couldn't be that different. They struggle to accept people who are not like them. Therefore, the phobes. I have thought as I have studied the neuropsychology of the NTs and the NDs that the LGBTQIA+ are in fact Neurodiverse but couldn't figure out how all of them could fall under that umbrella, but just because you're ND doesn't mean you fall under the typical ND "conditions" I don't like that term because it is how NTs discriminate against us by making us sick or a mental illness. Again, the NTs are the phobes, not all the NTs are phobes, but all the phobes are NT.

I am a Dane, and have been waiting for that invasion for quite a while. I have now come to the conclusion that all the asexuals are also introverts, uniting and invading separately, in their own homes. 😆
(Should anyone not understand my Danish humor: It is a joke).
That's true, getting enough asexuals together to invade Denmark would be like herding introverted cats.
ooooo hello fellow danish ace! (edit: I just realised you didn’t actually say you were ace but definitly ace ally and that’s cool too)
Despite the whole 'world domination' thing, we like playing fair. Can't start a major invasion with the current state of Europe.
Or we may or may not be sneaking spies into Denmark. That's also a possibility.
We're invading in spirit, none of use would want to actually go there in person XD
@@mariethedove3909 Not ace at all, but grey-aro, and definitely an ace ally. ❤

I just learned a new word today. Thank you for being the person to give me "a-spectrum". :)
@@crochetmatriarch It just felt wrong to exclude everyone who doesn't specifically identify as aromantic or asexual (so for example demisexual) so I've started using that instead 🙆🏻♀️
@@crochetmatriarch You can also use the shortened form, "aspec"! :D

It's perfect that this video came out when I was just my homework
I'm an asexual who studies ag. Science, I do love plants
6:06 if a straight person fears that their gay friend has a crush on them just because they are of the same gender, then they must not have any opposite gender friends then. Their straight opposite gender friends might have a crush on them too (according to their logic)
Well, given some of the things seen in the AreTheStraightsOkay videos, it’s absolutely the case that some straight people insist that they can’t be friends with the opposite gender, so... it kinda checks out.
Well, sadly where i live there is still a common mentality that you can't be friends with the opposite gender but you're going ti develope feelings at some point.
As a panromantic, i shall not have friends anymore, then

@I exist 🇺🇦 _one of us.. one of us.. ONE OF US_
I remember I was in a group therapy session and I mentioned I was having issues with my friend who was also a girl and the therapist kept insisting the issues were being caused because my friend was gay and had feelings for me 🙃 that always stuck with me because it always struck me as inappropriate
Was your friend even gay?
OMG the same happened to my mom, but she believed it and it made her homophobic for the longest time!
I remember that when I was a little girl my mom would get paranoid about my friends having feelings for me, or me dating my friends, at a time when "gay" wasn't even in my vocabulary. Seriously, therapists should be much more careful about the shit they say sometimes.
My mother said something similar to me once >( It annoyed me so deeply.
Well what annoyed me most was that the therapist kept insisting that my friend had feelings for me, despite my reiterating that she didn't. It was not only extremely invalidating, but looking back was queerphobic because she was only basing the comment on how my friend and I were both attracted to women (I'm bi/pan and my friend was at the time identifying as bi before later coming out as gay).
I had a female therapist that was married to another woman, she was kind and my homophobic mom thought she was terrible and made me stop going to therapy
"we don't need to understand it to not be a dick" is my new favorite quote
My youngest came out as NB recently. We have a really open home where inclusivity is spoken about all the time, so it was just a matter of asking their pronouns. They had got their hair cut short last month because they're also on the spectrum and have the thickest hair (9+ inches thick and impossible for them to work with), so it was also a way to cope with their hair washing. Their dad (we're divorced) was worried it would get them bullied and said, "Lesbians get their hair cut short." They usually ask me to speak on their behalf if they have to navigate the social hierarchy of adult/child, but they immediately said, "Dad, you need to read about this stuff. I'm enby so I wouldn't be a gay woman because my gender isn't female. Do you have a problem with gay women? Because you're stereotyping right now - tonnes of gay women have long hair. I might have a partner who is female in the future, so it's hurtful. My haircut does not determine my sexuality - it's an expression of who I am, regardless of my gender. I'm learning to cope with my disability. Please read about gender, sexuality and autism. I need you to be a better parent."
They're 12. It was a huge win to hear their voice so powerful because they usually don't speak like that to family. I was trying so hard to remain neutral but in my own queer/neurodiverse mind I was fist bumping in the air and doing a magical dance! 🕺🕺✊️✊️ right on right on!
Oh wow, i wish i could articulate myself so well as your kid 😯 They sound amazing
@MyAnanin it's years of work towards self advocacy. They're very well read for their age (about 8 years above their recommended reading level if you believe in level related ability). Their vocabulary and writing level is better than mine and I'm in uni! 😅😅
@@science_bear what are you saying exactly?
@@vyvii3293 homophobia isn’t something to be proud of
@Science Bear I was proud of my child who is not homophobic. I was proud of them for standing up to potential homophobia... did you read what I said? Their dad was making a judgement about lesbians having short hair, my child indicated the stereotype to their dad and didn't tolerate it because they said they may have a female partner one day, which doesn't make them a lesbian because they are AFAB non binary...
That is in no way homophobic. Read what I said again please.
Just gonna keep warming my heart whenever Jamie calls Shaaba his wife. May I never get used to it so I can keep feeling heartwarmed forever.
“Maybe they’re allergic to your bullshit”
How quickly he went from 😌 to 😡 on behalf of this ball is so cute to me
My nieces live with their grandmother, who is HORRIBLY transphobic and homophobic.....basically just a huge piece of human garbage.
Anyway, one of them has come out as trans so technically I should say they're my nephew (them/they). The problem is, they're twelve and living with someone with all those....ahem....."opinions....has made them question whether or not it's okay to be trans. I hate it! I am trying to adopt both of them but it's going to take at least a year to get ready. Being twelve is hard enough but they're not even allowed to make their own place in the world and be their own person.
It hurts talking to them because I'm the only supportive person they really have >.<
However, pissing their Grandma off at Christmas with inappropriate gifts is gonna be hilarious :D
I'm so sorry to hear about their grandmother, but it sounds like you've got some great plans to try and make things better for them!
Also, did you know there's a gender neutral term to go with niece and nephew? Maybe ask if they're interested in being a "nibling" :D
You should grow up first before you start trying to adopt some kids that are not yours. Deliberately pissing off disagreeing relatives is NEVER in the best intention of a child. Whether you agree with their opinions or not is not an excuse for you to behave childishly and cause unnecessary drama.
@@vp0617 Dude it's for the kids' well-being and safety, tf do you mean "grow up" ?? The kids are this person's niblings, who knows what happened to their parents, but I can say for certain that they're out of the picture
So that won't cause drama nor will it be childish, I'd say it's a pretty fitting punishment for the terrible grandparents
@@MusicalFreak812 You don't even know the grandparents at all, other than that they don't agree with encouraging a child to believe they are transgender, and no, encouraging a child to believe delusions that can cause them to damage their bodies later is NOT in their best interest AT ALL.
@@vp0617 Perhaps I should explain. The kids were told that they couldn't dress emo, so I bought them emo clothes.
That will piss off their grandmother.
They were told no makeup, even though the youngest ADORES makeup.
So I bought her some kid safe makeup kits.
It's not as though I bought them things specifically to piss her off. I bought them the things they asked for and things they really wanted.
Which, in the eyes of a hyper religious Q-anon believer, will be inappropriate.
I do appreciate you telling me to grow up though. It gave me a good giggle.
Especially since, you should know, some people thrive on drama. Their grandmother is one such person. She will turn anything, even a broken crayon, into a week long argument with the kids.
They aren't her kids either and she lets them know daily that they aren't wanted. She spends their money on her actual biological daughter and herself and dresses them in hand-me-downs.
There is more to the situation than you've been told, so perhaps you should consider that before being condescending.

The pan to aro pipeline is real 😭 (Thanks, amatonormativity! /s)
What does alterous mean?
@@GingerShellKittens it's a type of strong attraction that can be separate from romantic or platonic. For me personally, it means wanting a type of relationship where we're basically best friends but we would also do stuff like live together, possibly get married, that sort of thing
I think the reason people always default to "are you attracted to me" when they find out someone is not straight is at least sometimes because of the human instinct to categorize. We are so thoroughly entrenched in the idea that people of the opposite gender are prospective romantic partners first and foremost that we have made boxes in our mind. Everyone in the opposite gender automatically go in the "Keep a close eye out for any sign of romantic attraction" box until we are given a good reason not to put them there. And everyone of the same gender go in the "You're safe to be as nice as you want without it being misinterpreted as flirting"' box. Someone in the second box saying, "I am attracted to people of your gender," makes us suddenly ask, "Did I have them in the wrong box? OMG! I Haven't been watching for signs of attraction! What if I've been sending flirting signals when I meant to send friendship signals? What if I have been missing their signs of attraction because I wasn't looking for them, and have been an absolute ass about their emotions?" Now, the proper response is to just trust your friend to be open and communicative about romantic interest, and to respect your sexual orientation as you respect theirs, but I understand the moment of sudden panic.
“Mustered up. Not mustard, the condiment” has no business making me chuckle 🤭

I know right!! I'm het but that doesn't mean I'm into every women I see, and I also don't assume every het-woman I meet is into me in return.
It's the same thing! So why would I assume if a male friend came out as gay that he'd therefore be into me? It takes a special kind of narcissism for that to be the default response.
@@WombatMan64 Or indoctrinated misinformation. I had that misconception in the early 1990s and I always had very low self-esteem. Basically I assumed that gay people had no standards, because of my religious indoctrination. I know better now. I have brain damage from birth. Sorry.
Hmm isn't that how flirting works in straight culture though?
Well, the heteros I know only think of one thing if I’m the opposite of their sex, or who ever they want to hook me up with. It doesn’t matter that I don’t want to date them, which is highly offensive to them. If they pretend to be my friend, they always seem to have ulterior motives because they still get upset when they are always in the friend zone. Then people who are my perceived gender get jealous like I’m a threat whenever they have an opposite sex partner. The straight world is definitely not okay

4:23 The artist should have made it so that the rainbow part of the "ally" pealed off as they kept talking.
Something like that, or the Ally was a mask.
A real ally will make the effort to educate themselves (at least a bit) before that impressive display of verbal diarrhoea.
That was an impressive display of someone just continuing to dig deeper.
I had to explain to a kid that just because im gay doesn't mean i have a crush on a boy. I told him that not every straight person has a crush on someone and he was very kind about it. He was just a curious kid
I don't identify as gay anymore i found out it was just gender envy and that im aroace
Legit the first time ever that I have heard Jammie swear. It was horrific. I love it
6:33 it really is annoying when I go outside in the summer and just evaporate. Causing all sorts of weather alerts by accident.
Love you Jammie and your great wholesome content
When I first learnt about LGBTQ topics I was exactly the person that would ask these *slightly problematic* question only to learn later on why everyone hates these questions. I totally get it now, but in case you are interested: my friend came out to me as bisexual and my train of thought was... how did she find this out about herself... she must have had a crush on another girl... why is she telling me NOW... wait... could she be interested in me and THAT'S why she tells me?
That's thirteen year old me not knowing what to do with this piece of information and how to react.
While sitting in front of the heater with my cat on my lap he got up and turned around so that he could also watch Jamie. Guess it’s good to know he’s also a fan
"I need ALL the sleep" is such a mood, in which I am in lately, a lot...
If you live in the same part of the world as me it might be because the days are shorter, I always get super sleepy in the winter
@@rainkissedyt9628 Central Europe, so indeed days are short and depressing af 🥲
Not as much as in Scandinavia, but still.
I'm pan, ace and pollyamious, and gender fluid
Me too (questioning about poly tho, confusing for me XD)
@@Sirtrollsalotalot there's no such thing as super straight
Gender-Fluid Lesbian🤪🤪
@@Sirtrollsalotalot satire?
@@Sirtrollsalotalot okok, fair enough if you prefer to date cis people over trans people, however we weren't talking about that, I just don't see how it's relevant to the genderfluid conversation, bc you're just saying "I would never date the people in this comment section" and that's fine and all, but this probably isn't the place to say it. (for the record, we wouldn't date you either)
I feel the whole reaction to someone you know coming out as gay being to worry about if they're attracted to you fits in r/imthemaincharacter as well.
How self centred do you have to be? Also, it takes all of 1 second of thought to realise how dumb that is. I've never been sitting in a room with any of my het-women friends with that concern on my mind.
OT said it best: You're allowed to be friends with someone without wanting to f$%k them!
We finally invaded Denmark! Next on my to-do list is eating garlic bread, eating some cake and maybe even some world domination before bed.
I heard Pride Counseling’s parent company sells data (sold my friend’s data and she used to be a therapist for them) so be careful.
Yeah, Better Help are really scummy with their practices (both towards the customers, the therapist's who work for them (some are genuine and some sadly are not), and the profiles of real therapists they steal from professional organisations, pretending they work for them), and Pride Counselling are part of the same company.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 Do either of you have further information on this? Both of these seemed cool, but if they're not worth it, I'd like to be sure and be able to tell others about it.
8:56
As an Asexual yes.
Garlic bread, Cake, and world domination. ✨AMAZING ✨
I finally came out to my oldest brother a few weeks ago as bisexual. Since I am married, his reaction was half a) “Is your marriage “open” or not?” and half b) “If my wife came out as bisexual, I would be worried that she wants to cheat on me with a woman.” I took the time to educate him about the difference between infidelity (choice) and sexual attraction (not choice). He was lovingly receptive and supportive of me, and I think he was relieved that I wasn’t trying to use my identity as an excuse to be an asshole to my partner.
i love how all the experiments are always being carried out by ace or aroace
When I first came out my cousin refused to call me the correct name (he still struggles with pronouns but it’s not malice so idc) and refused to try, well I started calling him a female name (think Marcus-Marcilline) he cried went to his mom but after that he tried, he’s come so far and I’m really glad he tries :)
Always good to hear this kind of karma.
7:03 THAT WAS MY COMIC OMFG HOW DID INMANAGE THIS?! Jamie is literally the reason I started going on LGBallT and now my comic is in his video?! Thank you so much!!!
MY COMIC WAS IN THIS TOO LMAO ITS THE ONE IN THE TITLE IM SO SHAKY LMAO
I am also a permanently exhausted pigeon of a human being, so I can relate
Yes ace culture is garlic bread, cake, and world domination. There is also some other stuff like dragons, but basically yes.
I love how people's base assumptions are equal to very predatory men but somehow think people would bother to pretend to be female go be predatory when it's so easy anyhow??? The fuck
Just the same old propaganda to inspire hate and violence. People are so stupid that it unfortunately works.
LGBALLT WOOOOO
When I was like twelve and barely had any idea what ening trans means I was like: "but can trans people be gay too?" My stupid butt back then thought there's only one label per person allowed. (I was just like: okay but if I would transition, I'd still like dudes so what do I do??? There's only one label per person nooooo) Can't believe how much has changed since then and I'm really grateful for you, the Click and OT for helping me to not be that dumb anymore
The queer joy of seeing the agender ace ball was so real. I straight up said "that's me!" and started happy flapping and just making happy noises. Thank you Jamie for giving me that happy moment lol. And also for being one of my favorite TH-camrs!
I didn't get a notification, but still somehow got here in the first 5 minutes 0_0
Same
Being an ace male, understanding flirting often goes over my head except when it is a gay male. Is that weird?
I don't think so. You're just better at picking up some cues more easily than others. Everyone is like that about something.
I’m pretty sure it’s cause gay men typically are a bit more blatant than straight women, like they noticeably act different
At least that’s what I’ve observed
@@teritt Not sure about that, but again being ace I'm kinda clueless...
@@timnewman1172 Don’t worry even as a pan person I was definitely oblivious when I was younger lol
As an ace person, I can confirm that ace culture is in fact cake, garlic bread, dragons, world domination, and invading Denmark.
And swords too...we need something to cut the cake while invading Denmark!! 🤣
8:51 Well, I'm a trans man. I realised I'm queer when I was like... 15? 16 maybe? For some time I thought I'm non-binary but then I fully understood myself as a ftm & gay human being.
So when I came to my mom she was... weirded out? I came out to her when I was 17 I believe. She still struggles to understand (I'm 18 now), but at least she's not forcing me into anything. She just misgenders me at every given opportunity. My dad on the other hand said that we have 'too much Internet and not enough work'...
So yea, it could be better but also could be worse.
I can't wait to move out and start T-
Sending love and virtual hugs to my LGBTQ+ family, you're amazing!
(I'm a foreign speaker & I apologise for any mistakes-)
As a genderfluid human, I can confirm that we are a part of the water cycle
Please don't have a crush on me😲
That got me laughing
5:18 They’re going to Denmark, to help Asexuals get to positions of power.
0:50 I thought he said Pride "Canceling" and I had to do a double take on that.. -3-
I was expecting the comic at 5:28 ish to end with gay-trans ball returning with an eraser and sharpie and erasing the ally symbol on the other ball lol
Same 😂
7:36 Flirting needs time, dedication, patience and lots of observation on how not to flirt.
Some of my friends need more practice with the last one lol but at least they've shown me what not to do!
I'm definitely with Jamie on this. I hate flirting, I hate the dating scene, I've never been confident enough with that kind of thing. I'm so glad I'm happily married and don't have to think about that any more.
@@WombatMan64 Good for you.
@@ace_of_spades3164 Observation is a great resource.
"I wonder where they are going, maybe they are allergic to your bullshit" or "We don't need to understand it to not be a dick"

About het people being worried that their coming out gay/lesbian friend may be hitting on them: I think that it is an heritage of hetero normativity, that somehow turns the coming out moment in a sort of unwanted declaration of sexual interest, where the gay/lesbian is seen as a potential predator.
I am not sure if it make sense but I feel like it's seen as if (in and hetero context) a guy where starting to hit on a girl that was just being friendly, so she feels the need to draw a clear line in fear of any unwanted attention that could escalate. So in the coming out scenario the "girl" would bee the hetero person and the "guy" the gay/lesbian person.
Again, I am not sure if this make sense or if I have made myself clear, that's just the impression that I have in this kind of situations.
Yeah I think that it's seeing gay/lesbian sexual interest as inherently a threat to straight people-as if the gays are gonna gay you up against your will lol
Or like, being the target of gay/lesbian attraction kinda makes you look gay/lesbian too
(5:30) So they're an LGB-ally just not a T-ally. I hope that ball learns what is good and bad behaviour.
"Is Asexual culture garlic bread, cake and world domination?"
Yes. Yes it is.
As a Genderfluid person called rain the Genderfluid rain is hilarious on a next level
the genderfluid raindrops are called genderdrops
Closeted agender: I have something important to tell you... I'm agender!
Ally: Alright! Which one?
Agender: None of them
Ally: But you just said you were a gender?
Agender: Exactly!
Ally: So which one?
Agender: I'm agender!
Ally: Yea but which one?
Agender: NOOOOOOOOOOO
someone needs to make this comic 😂
“I’m agender”
“So which one?”
*grabs shoulders*
“N O N E.”

@@aceofspades5226 ooooooooh thats a good comeback ngl
@@jaanaberg6125 as a fellow agender
You are allowed to use it as you please.
After the gender fluid raindrop we definitely need an enby version of « it’s raining men »
For aces.
I’m French.
We have the better bread. And my mother’s family lived near Lautrec. Where there is a geographically protected variety of a very tasty variety of pink garlic.
Just sayin…
Pink...garlic...? Which part is pink? Does it make pink garlic bread? I have questions.
BRB checking population of France...hmm, it's a close one, but I recon we could take 'em. OK fellow Aces, so after Denmark, we need to head to France! (I'm a cake favouring ace but for my fellow garlic bread eating aces, I'll make sacrifices).
Wait...is this a trap, I feel like you're trying to lure us into a trap? 🤔
The enby 'its raining men' could be its raining them instead lol
No we don’t need an enby version. We don’t need to congratulate them for their attack on club q.
the genderfluid raindrops are called genderdrops
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 we don’t have cakes in France, we have pastries 😻
In a five minutes walk radius around my home, you can find 1 or 2 dozens of artisanal bakeries/pastry shop.
Forget French reputation of lust and love. French are food worshipers above all.
4:19 As an asexual and genderfluid, I approve of this message. Lol
9:14 I made that! I don't know what i would do without my sibling. Thank you for validating me Jamie!
9:21 OMG this is such an issue: Vocabulary and labelling are 2 Separate THINGS. There’s always a false equivalence drawn by bigots.
I just feel that no one can tell someone else how they should be discovering who they are. There's a lot of good information out that that can help, but no two people go on the same journey, and everyone is valid no matter how they identify.
whenever you post a LGBallT video I immediately send it to my gf bcuz she really loves that subreddit 😊
Thank you so much Jamie, I was having a terrible emotional health day for absolutely no reason. I needed something to cheer myself up. Love your content.
Woooo new Lgballt video
I'm literally trans and mlm gay and my dad once told me that me and my trans bf were just lesbians with extra steps and that really stuck with me for some reason
Ummm… you're 2 men, so you're gay. So say I, your Gen-X Internet-Uncle-Gay!
@@John_Weiss Gay either way is a fun thing. My girlfriend and I liked joking about that some years ago.
I kept making it rain Genderfluid until I got stuck being half man and half woman and now I'm Third Gender.
(This is a comedic pseudo-summary of my actual experience.)
9:15 me & my sister, she is just an ally but I came out to her (as AroAce, will come out to her ad trans later) but she still calls me gender neutral terms :)
2:06 As a pan, I can confirm that we experience this on a daily basis.
