[@JaysJourney]

Wait... used to?! What happened??😂

[@eviesharp17]

wow this is super informative and you look FINE

[@fabriziobella3342]

I agree

[@jennifervasquez]

I wish i had this video this morning so i couldve shown it to my sociology class when we got into a discussion about gender and there where people saying transphobic things

[@unknownuser8293]

Jennifer Vasquez what do you consider Transphobic? People saying that there are only 2 genders?

[@yeahyupp2448]

Saying there is only two genders is not transphobia ITS A OPINION. Actually no it's a fact. You can't magically change your gender. It's impossible.

[@alexpearce1368]

also this was a really cool thing to look at, rather than simply talking about the difference between sex and gender, it was stuff I'd never heard about before and provided a deeper insight

[@ryanlee354]

Really appreciated the comprehensive, easy to understand explanation! Will definitely show this video the friends and family who don't get it.

[@elimason1263]

YES YES FINALLY IM GLAD YOURE DOING THIS AND YOU ROCK THE HOT LECTURER LOOK

[@Seamusandsonis]

Loving this new series Jake, looking forward to more episodes. You really suit this style of slightly more academic informational videos. Also to anyone who found this topic particularly interesting, I recommend the book 'Transgender History' by Susan Striker, particularly the second edition as it has a new chapter pertaining to developments in recent years. This book does a good job of tracking the history of transgender terminology, what they mean, why they changed and how that change was taken by the wider world. Unfortunately it solely focuses on trans history in the USA but is still applicable to the UK in it's wider medical and social context.

[@JakeFTMagic]

Thanks for the book rec!! That'll defo come in useful

[@silviakbellavite315]

Omg this is the very first time i hear about the historical background! Great idea, loved it, thanks jake for such info

[@tjpaul7266]

Super educational. Super proud of you for taking this project on.

[@tamiaortiz2396]

Did you notice that Jake's eyebrows look like little caterpillars? I love you so much Jake you're awesome!

[@JakeFTMagic]

yiss they are my sluggy bois

[@gender-fluidARMY]

@@JakeFTMagic Sometimes I try to find vids that affirm the science that there’re more than two genders, and then my dysphoria gets AWFUL because of transphobic comments. Afterwards, I always think that maybe I’m faking being genderfluid and/or lying to myself. 😔 so thank you

[@RingTheDoorbelll]

THIS is so good, i'm very excited for this series. Also you look incredible

[@eyarberman-roth7868]

This is very interesting! I'm studying psychology and sociology at the moment, so it's interesting to compare social expectations with our understanding of gender. John Money actually worked with people who were born intersex to try and socialise them into a male/female gender role after having gender reassignment surgery. In a completely separate case, there is is the tragic story of David Riemer, which I think has always been a great example of the difference between sex and gender. Thanks for the video! :)

[@Dylan-xb4yx]

I just want to say how cute you are and how much confidence you've given me to do things like wear makeup and necklaces and things like that. I'm pre t and non binary so it's hard for me to feel comfortable doing anything that may be construed female...not anymore! Thank you and keep making videos ♡

[@sophieheafield898]

We’re doing this kind of thing in English Lang at the moment and it makes me so happy when we talk about the differences. Thanks for this video too, helps to enforce my understanding ily

[@Sophie.L.H]

Spot on as always! I wish more people realised this instead of thinking vagina = girl and penis = boy. Just because some people's identity is in line with their biology doesn't mean that it's the same for everyone else. I'm pretty indifferent about my gender identity, if someone refers to me as "she/her/girl" then that's cool but it's also cool if someone refers to me as "they/them/non-binary", none of those things make me uncomfy. At the end of the day, gender is a social construct so people can identify however they like, most humans need labels in order to understand themselves which is totally okay but people who still think with a mindset of "women must be totally feminine, men must be totally masculine, there is no in between" need to stfu lmao. Also your shirt is rad af

[@sleepyzebra11]

Hey I was kinda bleh about this topic, just because it feels so basic and redundant to me at this point....and then I actually got a lot out of it. I appreciate the way you highlighted how language and our understanding of things shifts collectively, and that people who may not be supportive of something "progressive ", the shift becomes more clear quickly, through the use of language (eg. Fucking Scalia) Anyway much love, glad to see ya in the sub box always

[@oscarlee1464]

This was so informative! Look forward to seeing more of this series

[@beccabailey8687]

I’m so excited about this series and also in love with your shirt and eye shadow yasssss

[@jw844]

This was brilliant and worded extremely well. Thank you for this video, looking forward to this series of videos. :)

[@kniferoomba4682]

yooooo this was so interesting!!! I'm really happy you're doing a series like this. where did you do your research?

[@blueriver.]

THIS. IS. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR THISS

[@anastasias173]

Nice makeup

[@Sam-pm9vy]

All of the standards around reporting clinical trial data collects someone’s “sex” but reports it as “gender” so That’s Fun! (Also very occasionally there is a category of “undifferentiated” for someone who is intersex and I suspect that a trans person would have to go down under their biological sex, assuming they were allowed in the trial at all.)

[@jameswhyte5986]

Very interesting and informative video! I know I have a lack of knowledge and understanding, so excuse me for asking questions but if I don’t then I don’t think I’ll ever understand. When it comes to gender, what do you have an affliction to? As Jake said, gender is a label at the end of the day. Is it the label itself? Or is it the stereotypes of that gender that you have a connection with? I’ve asked this question before to other trans people, and I still don’t understand unfortunately. I guess it’s because I don’t really see my gender as something that defines me per-say, so the only way I define it is by what was between my legs. I understand and accept that it means more to other people, but for my own identity that is what it boiled down to. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this and a further thanks to those who respond!

[@bbmusclebottom8]

Tincan100 James You said that you lack knowledge, but you are actually much more intelligent than most trans people are. In today's world, the label of "man" or "woman" does not make any difference in a person's life. Trans people are attached to archaic stereotypes from the 1950s. Today, anybody can express themselves and be what ever they want to be. You do not need to disguise yourself and go into a witness protection program and live your life in fear that someone will discover your real identity. I don't know why trans people do that. It sounds like you are already smarter than that.

Говорила мне мама: "Учи английский!", я не слушала, а зря. Ничего не понимаю, что он говорит, но он классный! Жалко, что нет русских субтитров...

[@whothehellisthiskid3363]

Very interesting, Jake! Love this!

[@alyssaballet]

Love this video, and am so excited for this series 👏🏻

[@thimblepunk7359]

This is a really really well articulated video

[@abelrose3730]

I love the video! Maybe you could make the title more specific so it's more clear what it's about? I would've been more interested in watching the video initially if the title was "History of Gender: Gender vs. Sex" or "Sociolinguistics: Gender vs. Sex" or something like that.

[@HebeAu]

I love this video and I'm going to send that to my friends. Um also you look fine as hell wtf Jake?

[@annadolld]

This is so helpful and informative!! I can’t wait for more!!

[@alo3163]

So happy that you made this vid💜

[@LesCrisVains]

I love your video, I actually learn some things and your explanation are perfect for me , thank you Jake ! I'm excited for the next video !

[@rommeluyanon7843]

Sex and the same somen

[@JustinDwaynee]

You fucking knowledgeable king/queen/dragon.... which ever you prefer 💙🙌🏽

[@succulent951]

This is amazing

[@TheOysteris]

Omg I love your shirt!! :O :D

[@meatrace]

So, as you say, sex is down to chromosomes (male or female, with a vanishingly small minority being intersex) do you agree that trans women are male?

[@carlhumanbcrab]

Cool video. Thank you for making it different to all the other gender education videos but also super interesting

[@moonmoon-bz9qe]

holy heck I love this

[@Sabbaklecks]

you should do a room tour

[@TheLucyblades]

10/10 Jake, amazing informative video. Thanks

[@annabelk1008]

Omg the glasses 💜💜💜

[@lay3567]

I love this video lot so thank you!! Also you look really good!!

[@MsEmzie99]

this is whopper information i love it! so good boiii

[@thomasbridge9750]

that is a BEAUTIFUL shirt

[@JoeeJayy]

LOOOOOVE this video :D So clear, so accessible - yay! You might have it in the works already but you might think of adding what contemporary (well, 1990s to now) Queer Theory is doing to the category of 'Sex'. Specifically, what Judith Butler started talking about in her book Bodies That Matter, that shows how the biological category of sex is fundamentally informed and defined by dominant ideas of (binary) gender, & the ways that medicalised ideas of sex exist in gender performance.

[@JakeFTMagic]

Ohhh that's super interesting! If I ever do a talk on this/another video that goes over this topic I'll defo check that one out. Can't beleieve I didn't cover Judith Butler?? I swear we studied some of her writing in sociology once

[@lauraelise434]

I LOVE the look today!

[@andiehernandez1995]

Great video!

[@jam-yh3bl]

yo this is really cool! could you do an episode about non binary identities?

[@alexpearce1368]

boi u be looking mighty fine with that snazzy shirt and makeup

[@kitdaniel9186]

snazzy beard :)

[@freshmo5967]

I'm interested if this is his "natural" beard growth or if he uses something so that it grows faster and more (like Alex does).Do you know that?

[@aimeehannah8856]

Loving the makeup 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lucasmannion8787]

Jake you are super cute oh my god. Also this was a really interesting video, I look forward to the rest of this series :)

[@casperedwards6005]

them beautiful sluggy boys 👀👀

[@thegaythespian]

I find it ironic that you managed to find a very clear quote about gender/sex from possibly the most conservative Supreme Court justice in recent history.

[@layne3601]

Perfect video ❤️

[@queenholland1227]

i like that shirt

[@CamPalinSmith]

Dem eyebrows tho

[@elimason1263]

Yess

[@ed3881]

Yaaaaaaaassss🙌🙌

[@ShawnJadefan23]

👍

[@GabarNawar]

They’re the same idc it’s not backed by science

[@SikanderG]

Jake, as someone who has not studied this subject at length or in a rigorous way, I really do not think you should be making 'educational' videos on the subject. I've only started watching and you already misrepresented Money's views, by saying he distinguishes between sex and 'identity', which is incorrect. He defines 'gender' as social role, not as gender identity. The psychological account of gender (i.e. where 'gender' is defined as gender identity) is fairly recent and has nothing to do with John Money.

[@SikanderG]

Also, you defined gender identity as the sense or conviction of one's gender, and gender as what one becomes socially. These are very vague and inadequate definitions, and they give you the result that gender identity is the sense or conviction of what one becomes socially. Tell me: does that make any sense?

[@SikanderG]

And nobody other than Tumblrites believes that sex is a spectrum. The distribution is of overlapping bell curves: it not a spectrum.

[@emilycrowleyyy]

this video was incredibly informative!! i learnt so much wow also you look FINE BOIII

[@mikelmontoya2965]

Sex isn't that biological either. At least classifying people into two categories that can't be changed is pretty social, not biological, and inaccurate too. For example, trans men, in most cases, can't be considered female.
