Woke TikTok’s - My reaction as a Trans Woman

[@duncanhewitt6557]

An adult dressing like a child and speaking in a child like voice is a big red flag.

[@heleninglis9961]

What bothers me is that the "OGs/Pioneers" of the community back in the day fought so hard, often to their detriment to be accepted into society as just normal every day people. But it's as if everything they did & suffered for was just a waste of time because it's been ruined by people like the person screaming in the 1st video.

[@Welovehorrormovies]

It's really heart breaking. They don't care, they honestly think that they are helping the community and if you don't agree with the QIA you are a bigot.

[@MagentaBell]

@@WelovehorrormoviesI don't even think they do actually believe they're helping their community. They just want to help themselves. They are not legitimately part of the trans community anyway as they are not actually transitioning from or to a different gender. They're just identifying as trans by force in order to make it an act of hate if anyone questions their nonsensical identity and aggressive demands for everyone to bend to their new and ever-changing, non-reality based rules including all the words/language they keep making up or eliminating as they go along. They simply forced their way under the trans umbrella to take advantage of the protection (and trendiness factor) it offers, even if their offensive and antagonistic presence jeopardizes the legitimacy, acceptance and even safety of ACTUAL transsexual people.

[@fre2725]

​​​@@WelovehorrormoviesQIA as in queer, intersex, and asexual? It's okay for us to expand our horizons and listen to other identities and experiences. That's not the same as needing to agree with every loudmouth wannabe influencer on TikTok who wants to speak for a whole minority.

[@roygeorge5364]

I totally agree. I had 3 friends in the 90's who were trans, and 100% of the time that we went out in public, one of them would be assaulted.. One had to sue her workplace for unfair dismissal - and she worked for the GOVERNMENT! The other had to move to the opposite hemisphere to get some peace in her life. Those OG's fought for the right to change your marker, as it was called back then, and these idiots are making a mockery of it. If these guys could see the humiliation that my friends went through back then, then they would soon see they are pioneers of nothing but being demanding, embarrassing snowflakes.

[@kevindon2133]

The issue is not expanding the vocabulary, it’s that they didn’t ask the Gays, Lesbians, and Transexuals before randomly adding labels and claiming to be in the same community. All 4 letters of LGBT imply biological sex and the sexualities associated with them. The QIA2S+ are a part of a queer theory which is an academic Theo try stating sex is a social construct, which completely negates the existence of people who accept and live in the reality of biology

[@Theragll]

The pronoun girl had a melt down on tiktok because her and her girlfriend got kicked out of a gay bar after she complained about the bar man calling them ladies. I agree, I think the pronoun thing will pass.

[@jessiegunnes]

If all trans people had the same attitude about as you do, I believe people in general would be much more accepting of the trans community. I also don't understand why a lot of trans men feel the need to be so aggressive in their masculinity. Being a masculine man doesn't not mean being an overbearing, aggressive, toxic person. And the pronoun thing has gotten beyond out of control. Life doesn't need to be so complicated. But everyone wants to be seen as special. So they want "you" to give "them" the validation they can't seem to give "themselves".

[@mommom3172]

Agree! My husband of 15 years is very masculine and also very non-confrontational nor aggressive. I find it very attractive because he knows how much damage he could do and in 15 years he has never called me a name or lifted a hand toward me even under some very strong conflicts or disagreements in our relationship.

Alexis was the way I always imagined trans women, I never had a problem with that, I always knew some men just got on better if they presented as, it was when men started putting on a skirt with their full beard and calling themselves real actual women that it became unacceptable to me. And the kids, it really needs to be kept away from young kids, it’s just confusing to them. I thought the way Alexis handled the kid who asked the trans question was really good, Alexis is sensible and seems to be a genuinely nice warm and kind person. It’s a real shame there aren’t more representatives of the trans community like Alexis.

[@naomimoore47]

I've met a few trans men and not one has been aggressive, more like the sweet person that JammiDodger is. It's easy to find bad examples of a community on online videos, but before anyone else makes assumptions, please meet trans people in real life and see how they are. The caricatures shown on KZbin and TikTok are not representative.

[@trublgrl]

@3:37 is exactly how I feel as a transitioning trans woman. I get so frustrated because all these non-trans, NB, gender abolitionist voices drown out what we are going through. When you are actually coping with GD, pronouns and microaggressions don't mean anything compared to the real joy and gratitude you feel when you start to live and present as your inner sexual self. If we had actual, transitioned trans woman and trans men at the front of our community, we'd show the world that what we need is the legal and social right to change, not the complicity of every other human being in our lifestyle and beliefs. Being Trans and out is just wonderful, and all these miserable people are just not going through what I'm going through.

[@AlexM-ht9ff]

Girl, I know how you feel! They call us trans girls "trans medicalist". They invent things to make feel less. I ignore them.

[@DJRazorgirl826]

Does your country not allow it or do they have safeguards in place that just makes it difficult? I'm honestly curious. In the USA, they are giving children puberty blockers and sex change surgeries as young as 11. Without a diagnosis and without counseling.

[@AlexM-ht9ff]

@@DJRazorgirl826 You're a liar. I'm in the USA and I also live in a BLUE STATE. I had to wait over 8 months for HRT and that was through health insurance. Mainly because I have a chronic blood disease so I had to get a letter from 2 physicians - hematologist and primary care physician. I also had to go through a licensed therapist as well and get a letter. Medicaid, Medicare, nor private insurance will not cover any surgeries for someone who is age 11 nor does it exist. I agree, there are a lot of crazy trans activists and woke people that make us look bad but you can't believe everything you see. I'm an actual transexual female. I'm replying to you.

I’m starting to think most of these people are lonely, don’t have many friends, and feel alienated from the world in general.

@@alexr2172 I grew up in a small, very poor town in the 80’s. Novelties were something we didn’t have, along with fashionable clothes. No one could afford a car, and there was nothing to do. The mall and the movies were considered a special and uncommon day out. We had to use our imaginations. Most of us hung out together on the streets. We built forts to hang out in. Instead of texts we wrote each other long handwritten notes. We read books, listened to music. We made our fun. You have to get out of the house to do so. You can’t sit inside, on social media, and expect to have a life.

[@LupaDomina]

As a non binary person I agree. I see myself as completely fluid - neither male/female however I am NOT trans. I was born in a body that presents female and that's ok. I am an older person and was introduced to the term non-binary by a transitioning friend who tried to explain pronouns to me. I was lost! I am not they. If you want to call me ma'am/sir I don't take offense. It is what it is. I know how I feel and honestly that's all that matters. I am not about to force it down someone's throat.

Another Non-binary person here! I have to say I agree with Alexis Blake 100%(Blair White and Marcus Dib somewhat, cant say anything about Buck Angel cause I don’t watch his videos 🤷🏾). I believe that there are worse things someone can call you/do to you other than misgendering you. Not everyone is going to see you as your desired gender and that’s okay. YOU know who you are, and you don’t need anybody else to tell you that.

[@AR-gg2su]

I dont understand "non-binary trans women/men". To adopt an identity that rejects the binary of gender but puts them on the binary in the same breath. Anyway.. Happy new year Alexis!

[@Rosawyn]

Some people see gender as a spectrum, including "non-binary" in between the male and female ends of that spectrum, so just as not all bisexual people are right at the equidistant point between gay and straight, not all non-binary people are at the equidistant point between male and female either; some people feel closer to one end or the other. Some people also use "trans" as an umbrella term, with "non-binary" being included under that, so by that definition all non-binary people would be trans. All that said, I have no idea what "he/he/they" is supposed to represent; I've seen "he/they" and "she/they" before, and those are easy enough for me to understand.

[@helixxia9320]

it is so meaningless like youre either within the binary or not you can’t be both in it and outside of it at the same time or else words mean nothing anymore

[@bestaqua23]

Not all non binary people are outside the binary or reject the binary as a thing for most people . I know my gender ( non binary .i got a doctors note and evrthing ) is unusual ans most people even most trans people are happy somewhere with in it and I have no desire to do anything to the " social constraint of gender " whatever they is . The problem is with my ( any many other non binary thing) praspectiv is basically I don't go on social media lecturering other people about gender ( aging I just don't think you should do thet . My gender is a metter to me and maby friends who are interested to hear my personal experience not some political manifesto for all people in the world ) so for someone looking from outside people like me don't exist. I just want different pronouns at work and no be included in work emails sent to the " women of the company" , I have nothing but contempt for people who actively work to disrupt the society they allowed them ( and me ) to express oneself freely

[@artemuliashkevych7892]

[@mxdahliabelle]

When so many people outside the transgender experience refuse to accept us as simply men and women, it automatically makes *all* transgender people nonbinary. Think about how many comments on this video are going to regurgitate the conservative talking point that "men are men, women are women, and transgenders [sic] are transgenders." If a transgender woman, like myself, isn't truly a woman, then my existence is placed outside the binary.

[@trublgrl]

Hi Alexa, I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and I just wanted to thank you. Trans content on KZbin is so depressing sometimes, it's all so demoralizing for people with GD who see our life experience turned into a dark comedy trend that is just crazy.

​@@ARC-0606 It's a relatively recent phenomenon that any transitioned trans person was open about their trans status. When I was younger, the goal was always to "go stealth," live as a woman and not disclose who you were to people you weren't intimate with, or those closest to you. I love that we can be out and unashamed now, but I think a lot of the "sane ones" are just staying out of the spotlight, because it makes life easier. We can't stop being trans when the trend dies or the culture pushes back at us. Better to keep it on the down low. Thanks for keeping an open mind. Loves. ♥

[@ARC-0606]

100% I do believe more need to be more vocal against what's going on. Such as some well ya know about the Nashville situation were just encouraging and even cheered that that happened and happy. That's just what I think as I think the more who speak out against the activists because it's mainly them causing the trouble I think more would be in support if that makes sense. I support transsexuals. Because the sad truth is a lot of people generalize a group just from the bad ones. As I said that's just what I think. As I do believe in fighting back (not literally) against the loud activists. Because they won't stop unless they're is genuinely a large amount of pushback.

I am a very bold young woman with my values strongly rooted and my sense of self, unshakable. Yet, I’ve had trouble creating and acting with balance and grace especially when it comes to big ticket issues that I feel passionately about. I’m often far too blunt and unyielding and it pushes people away in debates when I seek to find middle ground, create clarity and hopefully a bridge to more harmony and understanding. So thank you for your caring, uplifting and strong example babe! I appreciate you!

[@katfangtastic1420]

I appreciate you Alexis, I think you are like a breath of fresh air and your takes are always so level-headed. I live in the Nordics and our language does not have gendered pronouns, which I am so relieved about 😅. But I always watch these neo-pronoun and misgendering videos with stunned interest (and my jaw on the floor). Happy New Year everyone!

That 'cringe so hard my eye roll be twitching' in the very beginning.... Legit made me so happy I SO felt the need to scream YESsss and hi five lol. I guess happy isn't exactly right- more like relieved.... That there's alot of us out here damn near breaking our eye rolls!

i'm so grateful i found your channel, oh my god.

[@cyberninja76a]

youve shared that life was not always easy or fair, but look at you now, i dont you know personally but im proud of what you have done to reach for happiness and balance in your life...🎉 Well done Alexis Blake❤😊

[@LyndaAlsford]

I just love how balanced and reasonable you are about this whole thing. People being so radical about odd pronouns and stuff and getting so angry about everything is not going to help those of us who have been struggling with the issue. It is people like you who will help us to understand what we don't yet understand. And through your channel. I am learning more about the issue in a calm way from somebody who's genuinely very interesting and kind and seems like such a wonderful person. Thank you for your channel

[@amethystsamia]

The word rat is a noun, and can be an adjective. “He is a rat.” Clearly a noun. “He is a rat bastard.” Clearly an adjective, describing the noun “bastard”. If someone wants to be called rat, the obvious question then becomes are they a she, he or they rat?

[@ShakeDownStreet0714]

👏👏👏 💯 They are using & all words as pronouns & it's only showing how uneducated they are. A noun is a person, place, or thing. A rat would be considered a person if we're talking about a cartoon rat with human characteristics.

[@MissMelindas]

This is all feeling a little like, the Emperor Wears No Clothes to me. I kind of have a low tolerance for some of these TikTokers . All these kids seem to think everyone exists to please them. Can we just keep the pronouns that make sense

[@mamamua4644]

What actually gets me the most is the idea of spending my time so involved in a pseudo community that I focus my day on coming up with new words and think you are doing something so important to the cause. It’s so sad really.

Happy new year to you too! I'm so sorry that the very loud "trans community" (not sure they are trans at all) are ruining it for/the image of REAL trans people. 2nd Video I'm watching and you are just trying to blend in (and succeeding) and it is truly a pleasure to watch, so thanks for being you.

Older cis gay man here from the US, San Francisco specifically where we have a large LGBTQ community. I've been active in the community here and in NYC all of my adult life. You seem to be right in noticing more of the extreme pronoun and neo-pronoun folks tend to be from the US (and also very very young it seems). Caring a lot about my trans brothers and sisters (literally my only sibling was a trans man) I agree with you that it begins to appear like a farce and I'm concerned that that is how the general public will begin to look at the trans communities, and possibly the LGBQ communities. Some of this makes no sense and just isn't how folks I know actually identify (but, then again, I don't hang out with 10th graders who spend much of their time online, so...). I enjoy your content a lot and will continue watching!

[@J-cy8hq]

This pronoun stuff is getting out of control. As a gay man, I feel myself drifting further away from our community everyday. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air!

[@daleannharsh8295]

I know I'm probably way too simplistic for the world today but...wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to male, female, intersex and hetero, homo, and bi? Then we'd only have to remember the name and use it for the people who don't know if they are a him or a her.

[@SeinIshamiado]

And excluding trans? Uh huh.

[@SeinIshamiado]

What about people who are pan? Asexual?

[@daleannharsh8295]

@@SeinIshamiado Absolutely not excluding trans but if you listen to most of the people who are trans that I follow they are working very hard to be perceived as either male or female. They are also either in socially perceived homosexual or heterosexual relationships...what the reality of their sex lives is once they are at home with their clothes off is none of my business.

Like your channel, Alexis! I am a liberal to moderate thinking woman in my 60’s and I try my best to keep up with an ever-changing world. I have always been sympathetic to trans gender people but I am totally stumped by the 50 other genders thrown around. The whole fluidity idea is a radical fad at the moment and should calm down once the youngest of the screamers reaches a bit of maturity and finally realizes what she/he actually is. It must be very frustrating for someone like yourself to have to be hurt by other people going through a never ending identity crisis and leaving you to deal with the hate. And Rat/Rats????😂😂😂

[@seenomro]

Hi Alexis, I love your videos, I could not agree with you more. I am someone is from eastern europe, but I currently live in the middle east. Im trans but I am still in the closet, and all these crazy 'activists' on tiktok, if I can even call them that really do push lgbt acceptance back because when I talk to people about lgbt issues, not just trans issues, and I bring up the studies, and etc. they all say that if it wasn't for crazy neopronouns, children in primary school learning about lgbt issues, it would be a lot easier to accept lgbt people. I really want to thank you because people like you really do help those of us that are in the closet since, we are astranged from society and these crazy tiktok activists also distance us from the community which makes it very hard to stay sane. Please keep up your good work

[@lauragriffithsoutdoors]

Hi'' I'm Rat, Ratty Rat Rat, 🐭we were very popular back in the 14th Century.🐭 We were known back then by other pronouns too, like Bubonic, and Plague.

[@julia.123abc]

Oddly, one thing that I think is frequently left out of the “pronoun discourse” is the utility of pronouns in language. The point of a pronoun is to have a general shorthand to refer to nouns. If I was telling my friend about this video and couldn’t use pronouns, I would have to say, “Julia was watching a KZbin video by a transwoman named Alexis. Julia likes Alexis’s videos because even though Alexis sometimes gets passionate, Alexis is always respectful and kind.” That is annoying for everyone involved. It’s much easier to say, “I was watching a KZbin video by a transwoman named Alexis. I like her videos because even though she sometimes gets passionate, she is always respectful and kind.” Neo-pronouns undermine the utility of pronouns. If pronouns become like a name, where you have to ask everyone their pronouns and learn new pronouns all the time, then there’s no point in even having them at all. It would literally be easier to just refer to people as “that person.” English has gendered pronouns for people and animals, but if someone believes in zillions of genders that can’t be easily identified on sight, then I think a better argument would be to get rid of gendered pronouns altogether. (I don’t agree with that argument, I just think it’s more reasonable.) That way, you don’t defeat the entire purpose of having a GENERAL shorthand by making it so specific it can’t be used to refer to strangers.

[@dustinmartin2369]

I could easily argue that English doesn’t truly have gendered pronouns but sexed pronouns as they were the only remnant of grammatical gender kept but is correlated with the sex of the individual. It’s almost like a sexually reproducing species might want to maximize the ability to distinguish that for potential mating purposes

[@julia.123abc]

@@dustinmartin2369 I don’t disagree that the reason English has gendered pronouns is due to the fact that our species is sexually reproductive. Obviously, pronouns refer to different sex morphs specifically. I would guess that’s why gender exists in language at all. I used the word gender because that is typically how one typically refers to language. This is due to the fact that many languages grammatically gender things that have nothing to do with sex. Conversely, lots of languages have no gendered pronouns, and yet the native speakers still manage to distinguish someone’s sex. Some languages don’t even distinguish between pronouns that refer to people and things; any singular noun is referred to as their equivalent of “it.” Or rather, there is no distinction between “he,” “she,” and “it” in those languages. I don’t personally think the distinctions that we use in pronouns in English are better or worse than other languages. But, I also don’t think it’s inevitable that languages use gendered pronouns. English just happens to do things the way it does for a variety of reasons. There is no language that I know of that naturally developed a “just make it up” approach to pronouns because that defeats one of the main purposes of using pronouns, which is being able to quickly and generally refer to things.

Hi. I've not been following you long, so I might have missed you saying about this. Im confused about how they can be trans AND non-binary at the same time. Lots of us dont understand trans even though we accept a lot of them.(ones that pass like you) When we ask questions, we are straight away shut down and called transphobic yet they ask us to understand them. I have lots of questions but i will start with that one 😂 I wrote this part way through your video, you answered it 🤣🤣🤣
