thank you for your videos !!! I really appreciate your time and energy. wishing you a Happy Gay Pride month from the US

Honestly, as long as the person recieving the surgery is an adult who understands the possible consequences and risks of such a surgery (which every life altering surgery has, reaffirming one's gender is no ike medically speaking.) I would argue let them do that! Yes there are dangers that one needs to be aware of, but instead of denying the surgery all together we should let people know of such dangers so they can make the choice with all the information.

5/5 is crazy

Intersex people get (got) surgeries all the time against their will in order to make them conforming to a binary s*x grouping. Conservatives want surgeries when they can decide the gender of someone else, but not when people self-advocate and use their power of bodily autonomy to decide for themselves to have gender-affirming care! Anti-trans bullies want queer people and women to be controlled by others, and to specifically not exercise self-control or agency.

Im not crying, im not crying.. -im crying (Im trans) Thank you for posting this 💜

NGL, a the parent of a trans child, I worry about their choices in gender affirming care, but I know that it’s my problem not theirs so I help them find excellent doctors, I help them seek mental health services (because everyone has something they need to go to therapy for), I listen to well founded medical science, I’m open and honest with them, and support every choice they make because I know I’ve raised thoughtful intelligent children who know themselves. Above all else, I love my child unconditionally so there isn’t anything we can’t work our way through together.

Slight nitpick, depending in where in the world you are, these surgeries are occasionally available to transgender minors. It is, however EXTREMELY rare. From 2016-2020 in the US, there were approximately as many gender affirming surgeries (of any type) performed on transgender minors as there were breast augmentation surgeries on cisgender minors in 2020 alone. I will also add, when we say "minors" we're talking 16-18 year olds, not 5 year olds.

She gets us <3 <3 <3

Enby here and I'm happy with the surgeries I've undergone. As well as starting hrt over 7 years ago.

I hope this question isn't innapropriate so I apologise if it is, but I am just kinda curious... Would you once make the video telling us the story about how your wife got pregnant and how you found the donor, and do you still have contacts with him and when (or if) your child is going to meet him someday? I hope this question didn't sound innapropriate...

💖🤍💙

I wish this could be shown to every transphob

❤❤❤❤❤

Its like with war they like to spread false propaganda like I'm ace and people just cant see how i can be celibate I even have to explain people what that means too X_X

I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this one a lot lmao Shout out to my mum referring to pride month as ‘pervert month’ this year! so happy she no longer feels the need to hide her rancid bigotry :)

To add onto this, genital mutilation is children is VERY normalized in some countries (circumcision, mutilating girls for virginity sake, etc) but I never see them yelling about that. It's not about the children, it's about the fact that they're queer 🤷‍♂️

Thank you Jessica, we love you!!!

I cannot wait to get top surgery!!

Couldn't find the sources in the description, so here's the studies mentioned for anyone wondering: Regret after Gender-affirmation Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prevalence www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/ Regret in Surgical Decision Making: A Systematic Review of Patient and Physician Perspectives pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28243695/ Long-Term Regret and Satisfaction With Decision Following Gender-Affirming Mastectomy pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37556147/

Just like you explained word queer being used as an insult and then, as an act of rebelion and liberation, started being used in the positive way... I had some thoughts that might sound controversal, about the word 'whore' as a deeply misoginistic term. How about, us liberal feminists, turn this insult into a positive term for rebellious and anti-puritan woman, but like, in a positive light, as something that we should be proud about? (I'm so sorry if this might sound offensive to someone, but I hope you'll understand what I tried to say)

Dang... this is why I've always had a thing for redheads. What was she talking about again? Oh right, nazis 🤣😅

To paraphrase Night Of The Living Dead: "They're NOT coming to get you, Barbara!" 😂

"Have a biscuit Barbara, let's look at the facts" I'm going to use that one in real life 😂😂😂

They are doing these surgeries on kids, but not on trans kids, intersex kids are often forced to undergo these surgeries long before they can even understand let alone consent

There is one more I know about. Nikola Tesla, the great scientist and inventor from Serbia, who was neurodivergent and also aroace.

You explained this so well!

I'm Trans! The moment I started HRT, it was like my life truly started. I've never been happier.

Okay, but I don't agree with giving gender altering hormones to anyone under the age of 18 whatsoever. I like you and you can have different views on that if you want to.

Question are there trans people who are happy with just the hormone therapy and not the surgery’s or trans men who hate the idea of having facial hair?

Even if they were like the transphobes are saying; the transphobes don't care about them. They'll wipe their hands, go "Oh well!" and walk off with nary a care in the world for people suffering, no matter the reason. *Especially* if they feel like it's self-inflicted, like some messed up "I told you, why didn't you listen to me?" gotcha.

Trans kid approved 👍

What a lovely message for this month's favourites! Mental health is most definitely a work in process.

Let’s uplift the FACTS and the lived experiences of trans people! Also the hat in the first pairs so well with the doubtful character. 😄

The regret rate for KNEE REPLACEMENTS is higher than the regret rate for gender affirming surgeries

It's also MUCH lower than all elective cosmetic surgery regret by a lot, so it's MUCH more likely to regret a nose job or a cis boob job just as an example. So medically that's an excellent success margin.

Listen to the Person Who Received said surgery What a lovely and Inclusive Goal!

On RuPaul's drag race there's a drag queen named GotMik. He's a trans man (afab). He had his breasts removed. You can literally see how happy and grateful he is that he was able to do that as he talks about the surgery. Trust them, they know their body and mind more than anyone. When you see people get these surgeries, you can feel how relieved and happy they are. 😊 I'm cishet and could never understand those struggles. Who the fck am I to tell someone who is lgbtqai+ what to do and not to do to their bodies?

Boy will arming coats and their ties and gothic armor foofiness be a shock for those men clutching their...ahem...pearls.

I am definitely stealing "have a biscuit, barbara"

The only children who get gender affirming surgery are intersex children.

I am curious what the regret rate for gender affirming surgeries for cis straight folks is? 🤔

First off, I LOVE UR FASHION HISTORY STUFF (especially how you easily site your sources ON SCREEN!! As a fellow research enthusiast you have BLESSED my feed) Absolute instant follow!

What baffles me is that someone would really think that doctors would do such a surgery on a child. I'm pretty sure there's more 'doctors' who would do stuff like non necessary cosmetic surgeries on kids than gender affirming ones. And by non necessary I mean in cases not when something happens to their body, idk, they break their nose, but stuff like eye lifting (I remember case that was documented few years ago and it terrified me). And no one seems so angry about it..

Omg I'm early!! Jessica I love your content thank you for making this and happy pride month! <3

Let's see what the "facts don't care about your feelings" have to say about that

Facts!!!…TERFs, homophobes and transphobes don’t bother with such trivial things as facts and studies. They just don’t understand how ridiculous they sound.

I'm gonna safe this one to send to people who try to tell me trans people are sad, butchered things

This video displays the facts so well, thank you for explaining it.

This just hit my feed today, and I can't help but wonder at the coincidence considering the sickening election 'promise' by the toxic tories about making it legal to ban trans people from using 'gendered' facilities, 'gendered' sports -such as trans women being excluded from female sports because they may have a physical advantage over cis women (something already debunked BY TRANS WOMEN! And probably trans men). What really is sickening, is that the policy is kind of promising a witch hunt focused solely on a person's naughty bits. You know, the bits we ALL cover up in public and are of absolutely no business of anyone else AT ALL. So, exactly how will this go? Do we all have to flash a toilet monitor to prove our gender before we go into a public loo? Because that is the only way they can actually prove if a person is truly cis gender. sucky sunak and the toxic tories are VILE
