Getting Clocked

[@erinmorticia8990]

When you said "I was born trapped in the wrong body; why do I have to be attacked for something I had no control over?" that brought tears to my eyes. You're absolutely right. Nobody can choose the body they are born with, and you're just being true to yourself. Nobody should be attacking you in any way for living your life in the way that makes you feel happy and complete. You're a beautiful woman, Julie. In my eyes there is nothing masculine about you. You're lovely. And I'm relieved that neither of those encounters became violent.

[@SarahhRUSH]

Girl, I get clocked ALL THE TIME when I'm at gay clubs or with my gay friends...and I was born a woman...still am a woman...LOL. I'm just super tall and I wear a shit ton of makeup and so seriously people always either think I'm trans or (usually) a drag queen. SO you ARE 100% woman...I'm 100% woman...and we're both getting clocked...because we're just too fabulous! Love you, girl. Xoxox

[@richym3899]

No it isn't. It's a man

[@a.z.9957]

Thank you for your comment. Now people are saying they always knew nikki tutorials was trans wich is bs :-) I never knew :-)

[@PrettyKittyWright]

Honey, there are women who aren't even half as stunningly beautiful as you are. You keep being your gorgeous self Mother Sparkles.

[@corsariocapitao]

Marina Lana She didn't put anyone down specifically. It’s fine.

[@crystalsolis]

Marina Lana I agree with you too, but I'm sure this individual didn't really want to insult others with that comment. To me, being beautiful and gorgeous means being gracious and kind and respectful to others and being an inspiration. It's not just about looks. And I can attest to this that Mother Sparkles is more beautiful than other women and men I've met in my life. X :)

[@PrettyKittyWright]

Marina Lana All people are beautiful, not everyone is attractive. I'm not going to lie to feed some strangers ego. I don't find every woman or man I've ever seen attractive, that's not to say someone else won't, but some people get big fat NOPE from me. I can't help who/ what I find attractive any more than I can control who/what I DON'T find attractive. It's the way my brain is wired, so sue me.

[@crystalsolis]

***** Oh really? I hope you're not sarcastically implying that to insult us and Julie here. But, if it's someone else here on KZbin, that's totally your opinion and thanks for your input. Regarding your second comment, Julie is not racist. She's been a victim of racism her whole life.

[@Teenterror983]

PrettyKitty Wright If I ever clock a girl like her, I wouldn't tell anyone she's a trans, not her, not my family, nobody. She might already know I did, but I'll tell her I never mean to offend them.

[@aprilmay90585]

Things that clued her in were tattoos and height? Eh, she's just ignorant. I was born female, and naturally 5'9 (my best friend is 6') and we're both covered in tattoos. I just would've responded to that lady, "Well, I AM a woman!"

[@aprilmay90585]

catwalk33 No, I've never been asked that. Luckily everyone around me is pretty tolerant and is aware of the fact that we come in all shapes and sizes.

[@MrGummy01]

Really that's amazing you and your friend are tall. I'm a trans girl and I'm 5'11 I love high heels but I don't think I'd dare to wear them being so tall. :(

[@aprilmay90585]

Aj Orozco I think you should rock heels if you want! My coworker is almost 6' tall naturally and loves wearing 5" heels. She pulls it off because she has the confidence to and doesn't care what anyone thinks! Go for it!

[@hannahmariahmettlach]

+Aj Orozco Im cis, 5'11" female, and loooooooooove my heels. And I've never been mistaken as anything other than a woman haha. If you like the shoes try stepping out of your comfort zone and wearing them :)

[@orestessamolis8498]

+Aj Orozco HAHAHAHAHA, you even look like a man

[@anxietyminx]

thats so odd to me because i found your channel before i knew you were trans and then when you posted a video about it, i was like "WHAT!?" literally the most passable trans i've ever seen. sorry if thats a bad way of putting it, but i literally do not see any of the "masculine" features or whatever that you normally see in trans girls. i was so shocked. i hope it didnt shatter your confidence or anything when it happened because you are literally so gorgeous and naturally feminine. i'm a boy but i'm hella androgynous & "pretty" so i know the struggle somewhat & i relate to this so much. love you always girl

[@holaitserin]

Yes!!!

[@jaybyrd4101]

Normally, there aren't any masculine features in transwomen. The one's that get proper treatment are indistinguishable from ciswomen.

[@ZZumaTV]

I seriously don't know how people can clock you? You have very feminine features, body language, speech, clothing, hair etc. Nothing about you looks masculine to me O_O

[@lileybee4820]

They might have watched her utube channel and saw a video of her talking about her past or something.

[@mirandaisgross]

Liley Bee He must have been a secret sunshine sparkle face, but was embarrassed to admit he recognized her in front of his friends.

[@9201-h2v]

***** maybe it was the voice?

[@lileybee4820]

Thao Huynh no lol

[@9201-h2v]

Liley Bee ur being unrealistic when you transition male to female your voice doesnt change julie has the voice of a male

[@idgafiminfinite]

If it makes you feel any better it happens to cis people too, don't worry you are very beautiful and feminine! I'm 5'6" too so I'm also very tall in heels, you just have to embrace it, it makes you look powerful!

[@theirmanager5204]

Yup, I've been mistaken for T when I'm all done up with big hair and mega contoured makeup. I'm 5'7" and have pretty wide shoulders and muscular legs, so I guess some people think that makes me masculine. With heels I look a little Amazonian. Some people are just a little..dumb? Rude? Ignorant? Lol

[@roofoochoo]

When I had really short hair and I was hanging out with my friend waiting for her mom to pick her up, my friends mom asked her "oh my gosh is that your boyfriend?" ..... So awkward and we never spoke of that day again. LOL

[@GlowlightBae]

oFuckyes That's so weird because I'm always being confused for a flat chested girl or a very butch looking lesbian. Most of the time Idk whether to feel offended or flattered because I look pretty enough to be a girl but at the same time I'm manly enough to be a lesbian

[@amy_lee]

Julie you are not only just a beautiful and strong person, but the strongest woman I know! I'm so saddened to hear that you have to go through that, and I'm wishing you the best. Stay strong! You are awesome. heh

[@arielion1niol]

I seriously don't think I would EVER think you are or were a man

[@arielion1niol]

also the guy you talked about in the elevator is disgusting. I can't believe people can be so rude and horrible. I would never in my right mind ever think to laugh at someone for being who they want! I don't know if you believe in the idea that people can be young or old souls but this guy sounds like he was in his first life and has a lot to learn.

[@Andersencrockett]

I agree. there is literally nothing about her that even remotely looks "manly".

[@cynthiahernandez9659]

I knew. And I just stumbled on here, call it female intuition or whatever...blah I just instantly knew. And for no real reason at all. The looks the voice and personality are all on point...but I just knew? Makes no sense But idk, just knew.

[@SorayaUnlimited]

Super90Girl Lmao

[@GentleJohn]

ShimmerinGold Her voice is a dead giveaway

[@jonnitrea]

Beauty shows up in many forms, being yourself and, much easier said than done, being comfortable stepping out the door every day trying to not hide is really hard sometimes. And girl, you rock it you ARE a woman, and you're a beautiful woman! Thank you so much for having your channel, you're an inspiration and support 💜

[@CherishIchigoLuv]

There was this one time when a guy once asked me "are you even a girl?" and I was just so taken back and I didn't understand what made him say that, but later on I came to realize it was my voice. I have a naturally deep voice, but depending on the environment and who I'm around, it changes, so I was with my besties chatting at a public place and we were laughing and having a good time, so at one moment I'm talking normally and then the next I would talk in a higher tone and personally I never paid attention to when my voice changed, but after what that guy said to me it really left a scar to a point that now I'm constantly watching what I say in public, it really boosted my insecurities and I'm already a quiet person to begin with..but my point is that Julie you go through so much and still you speak out about what you believe in and you guide everyone who wants to transition and by far you are the strongest women I have ever encountered and hearing your stories brings me strength and rage for the people whose wronged you, however I know you'll always come through sparkly and triumphant cause you can work it girl!

[@miahernandez2015]

I love watching your videos and seeing how far you have came in your journey. I truly am inspired by you to be myself.

[@haleigh5220]

Julie you should just turn around to all these people and say "excuse me?! I'm a woman! wtf are you talking about?"

[@ashlovnerdcrafts]

Haleigh Fotis yess

[@elyonum]

Haleigh Fotis Gah that would be so satisfying! But I think it was probably the fact she was so stunned, not to mention the fear of escalating the situation if she retaliated( trans people get beat up A LOT ;( ). But I wish we could put those insensitive people in their place!

[@MorganxMalicious]

Haleigh Fotis I WAS WONDERING WHY SHE DIDN'T.

[@amyc.513]

i really would never know. like even looking at her now I cant believe it. she is just so wonderful

[@mybuddysarahh]

I am a cis girl and I'd kill to look like you! I love that you talk about real transgender issues from a personal point of view. You say what most people don't want to talk about! Very informative, and I think helps so many people.

[@mybuddysarahh]

sarah uriarte Also, you're fabulous. So you've got that going for you hunty

[@LovaULots]

That's so sad... Poor Julie... I hope you're feeling better, I send you my love and support. ♥️

[@jbfarcher]

Joules, if you got clocked then there is no hope for me girl. You are gorgeous and I could only dream of looking as good as you. Love you Joules

[@ginatran1293]

You are who you are. Human. It's a shame that not everyone can look at each others with open hearts and open minds. They werent educated or exposed to a world outside of theirs. All we can do is be the bigger person and pray for them. Love them so they know what love is. Julie, I can't even imagine what you have to go through and already experienced. I'm just in awe in how you're so brave and so raw about your life. It's heart warming. Best wishes to you.

[@00carla]

what is the correct way to handle a situation when someone is in their transition and they could pass either way and you don't know if they identify as male or female so you don't know what pronouns to use? i went to a movie theater and the ticket person had long hair, feminine voice, facial stub, and a boys name and i wasn't sure if i should say they were pretty or not since i'm sure if they were f to m they wouldn't want to be called pretty. i ended up not saying anything to be safe

[@rosequartz9640]

I would use non gendered pronouns and ask their name. There, I just used it as an example. They, their.

[@DarthJane]

Carla You can always ask in a friendly manner, I work in a store filling up the shelves and get asked stuff a lot, and a lot of people are unsure. The ones who ask are usually the more pleasant ones (though German doesn't really have the they/their escape, these words are overloaded with other meanings, so people have to choose).

[@loserbiotch2]

Carla non-gendered pronouns work for when you're unsure. always assume that, no matter their body type, if the person is clearly exuding femininity (feminine clothes, hair, make up etc) or clearly exuding masculinity, you should pronoun them with their traits they are choosing to exude. but if you are afraid of misgendering someone and want to know for sure what their pronouns are, pull them aside and ask politely (but not in front of everyone!!! privately!!) and don't make a big deal about it. just say "okay" and move on.

[@StaySafeDontDie]

Kortnee Tilson Yeah, but with how gray people are with clothing styles now, gendering someone based on how they present isn't a very good idea, either. Like if there's a girl who dresses very masculine but still identifies as a girl, calling her a dude is likely to make her wanna clock you in the face. And all the androgynous people, too. And then there's the trans people who try and present but have a body type completely opposite what you'd expect. I mean I'm a trans dude on hormones who can't bind his chest, clocking out at 5'7, 38DD, 38-30-40. I'm a really curvaceous chick with a flare for wearing men's clothing is how the world sees me 95% of the time. And Idk, it just doesn't work for every occasion, is all.

[@kiyo6582]

Carla You can compliment someone without using "loaded" adjectives. In a case like this, where your interaction with someone is limited, I would just choose a safer compliment like "You're really good looking/attractive" or a more specific "I like your hair/outfit/eyes". Pretty much anyone would be happy to hear that :)

[@toddherrmann4915]

Lol "what is that noise right now" lol. You are the best. You are so down to earth and intelligent and beautiful. Keep doing what you do because you are the best.

[@weeshnaaa]

Honestly I don't understand how anyone could think you were a man. You're so incredibly feminine looking and ooze grace! And those people are just so rude

[@BonTonBunny]

You are just... Wow... Beautiful, sweet, funny, and just awesome. I love how open you are and how you try to educate and expand people's minds. Thank you for being you and also I will always be jealous of your eyeliner game.

[@amahdeus]

I'm gay and the same stuff happens to me. Idk what it's like to be trans but I feel so bad for her, & I'm not flamboyant or anything but people are always asking me if I'm gay or yelling "that niggas gay" in the hallways & stuff & it really hurts me

[@Muertenoir]

Julie, you are so much stronger than any of the haters. You had the courage to transition, you can do anything. You are a beautiful person! Stay strong! You are 100% woman.

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

You shouldn't be sad because even real women get mistaken for men. Those people in the elevator were just immature and stupid.

[@cool9378]

She is a real woman.

[@InorganicVegan]

Cool, you know what she meant. Sheesh.

[@god-lm7tv]

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

@Boss Betch, Yes I am black, I don't understand your comment?

[@catrionanicthamhais]

maria cummings I mean this kindly. I believe that it is ok to be sad. it hurts. In a way there is no should or shouldn't. just what is.

[@clementinehetherington6525]

You are soo incredibly beautiful!!!! Wow. I love your personality and I really love how open you are about explaining about your transition and answering peoples' questions. You have cleared up a lot of questions I have had that no one else has spoken about, thank you :)

[@natashakhan9213]

Personally I think the elevator story could have been told without mentioning the race of the people involved. I feel like it opened a window for your viewers to make assumptions about people of color, who probably now think most, if not all black people, are transphobic/ignorant. Which we know (or should know) is simply not the case. I'm sorry for what you went through, however, the color of the people could have been left out.

[@marias.1918]

I think you make a good point, but I think she was just speaking her mind, I don't think she was trying to make anyone feel bad or put them in a bad situation.😊

[@kurakai18]

I get what your saying but as someone who is androgynous. I've seen African American teens and experienced the jokes and extra loud ignorance. It happens. Its not the race but the culture. Im also mixed so I know how black ppl and other ppl can be. But a lot of times blacks are really aggressive towards lgbt. Other ppl too.

[@natashakhan9213]

kurakai18 Aggression isn't a black thing, it's not a race thing. Just like ignorance, it's a person thing. Your skin color doesn't set the demographic of a group of people personalities. The lgbt community isn't just made up of white people, people or color are also gay, lesbian, straight, trans, and people of color have also been "clocked" by white people. Maybe where you live you've experienced more negatives from a certain community, but the fact is we aren't all the same.

[@Satrina777]

Natasha Khan I think that making this about "race" instead of focusing on Joules experience, is actually kind of selfish in a way. Get over it. People are black and people are white, and people are asian, and people are hispanic. If I'm telling a story, you better believe I am giving out every detail. Whether you want to be defensive about it or not, what the other person said is TRUE, African American people who grow up in certain kinds of area's tend to be more aggressive towards LGBT people because they're more ignorant. Usually it's the ones who grow up in the projects or just a shitty uneducated area. Like obviously if they don't have a good education, how the hell are they going to understand the complex situation of being trans? It's NOT so much about the color of someone's skin as it is the CULTURE, like the person above said, which you blatantly ignored. If I met a black woman like Oprah for example, who is an extremely educated amazing woman, she would accept and understand trans people. Whether you want to acknowledge the reality and the truth of the situation, the black culture has gone down hill. Rap has become horribly sexist, and about meaningless shit, and obviously if black men in that culture don't respect women anymore, what makes you think they would ever respect a trans woman? It's the culture, and it's different in some areas, but I have SEEN discrimination and aggressiveness from them with my own eyes. I grew up In the Tri state, I know what I have seen and what I'm talking about. Some white people can be just as bad. But on the whole, I have seen a lot of African American's from ignorant areas attack people for being part of the LGBT. More than white people. Just the way it is. Doesn't mean that ALL African American people are like that, because they're not. But if I had to give a percentage of which race is more discriminatory against the LGBT it would definitely be them. We're not just talking about white and black either, we are talking about out of white, american, European, Asian, Indian, Hispanic, Russian, and everything else. You can't even BE gay or Bi in Africa or you get KILLED. Literally, the shit still goes on over there. SO you put two and two together. I'm not racist, I have black friends, my brothers are mixed, my step mom is black, and I have dated black guys. So, that being said, I also know how their culture is.

[@natashakhan9213]

Sally Rispoli White people, asian people, spanish people, danish people, ANY people who grow up in certain kinds of area's can be more aggressive or less aggressive. Your comment is so ignorant. Stop putting black people in a box, people of color aren't the only ones who can live in a poor neighborhood. The ghetto is not black people territory.The projects and low income housing is not a place to hold black people. You realize, the projects isn't a holding cell for people of color? To follow up the LGBT community is not a "whites" only, so let's stop talking as if there aren't black, spanish, indian, or mexican trans, gay, bi, gender fluid people. There's a difference between color, culture, ignorance. Being white doesn't mean you can't be ignorant. Being black should NOT mean that we should put into a bubble just because someone told a story about being harassed in a elevator. Being black has nothing to do with how ignorant a person can be, if that's the case what is a white person's excuse for being ignorant? LGBT is not a white thing. Discrimination, Intolerance, Ignorance that is a people thing, it knows no color.

[@clairebear9409]

joules, you are such a gorgeous women inside and out & you deserve to be treated as such!! good luck to you & anyone else that has similar experiences, i hope people realize and respect the awesome person you are xx

[@DrawingEllipse]

Julie! You are not a man and you do not look or sound like a man... You are a beautiful princess! It's just some people that, as you said, saw you with flamboyant friends. Don't worry, ignorant people are just like that. I have a gay friend (not even flamboyant) and sometimes old ladies ask him if he's a girl uuhhh... (btw I'm 5'6 too and born female). Stay strong and I'm happy you made a new video :)

[@JosephRosalie]

Totally agree that it hurts so much more when you've stopped expecting people to ever misread you, it catches you off guard and really smarts. I'm sorry this happened to you Julie

[@marycookmoore3956]

I am sorry you got clocked and I am sure it hurt more than getting punched. My friend was clocked this weekend but went back and asked how they could tell. It was her hands and voice. Does anyone have any suggestion about how to deal with large manly hands? And if you look like a man you are one of the hottest in the world! Thank you for sharing so much of your life you help more people than you could ever really imagine. And omg what do you have on your lips?

[@ThisEvilBunny]

I will always appreciate your transparency and honesty about your life. You have no idea how inspiring that is. The world expects people to pretend everything is okay all the time and it separates us because then you feel like 'no one is like me or goes through the things i go through' trans or not. Whatever label applies or does not apply to you. Thank you for that.

It makes me so mad that trans folk have to deal with bullshit like this.

People are unbelievable... apparently even LUSH customers, who are normally mostly so wonderful. I don't know how you guys handle it. What an awful thing to constantly have to battle with.

[@francesimagina7]

You were clocked by association. You should have acted insulted, like a woman would. Don't buy in to their bullshit, Girl.

[@iMowissa]

I cannot believe those people in elevator were that fucking rude. They were just ignorant and know NOTHING about your journey and how hard it has been. I'm sure they couldn't last a day in your shoes. Girl, you are wonderful and stunning. You do you, and forget anyone who tries to put you down! We are rooting for you 100%!

[@nerdystar1875]

I work with a very feminine gay man who identifies as male. He was coming out of the bathroom and this one lady asked if he was a man. I thought that was so rude of her. People these days have no tact. Also an interesting social experiment/topic would be to listen to people recall the past. I notice that the first story ...the woman at the bus stop was not described at all. But the elevator story, it was the race of the offenders was pointed out even though it did not have anything to do with their behavior. I just find it interesting and it would be neat to look to see if this a normal pattern in human beings and if certain circumstances or race causes this to happen.

[@NeilK994]

rosedaline valetine Agreed. I have no idea why Joules had to state their race. Completely irrelevant

[@rosedalinevaletine6931]

Neil​ I wouldn't have minded if she had mentioned the race of all of them; the lady included. But I'm not surprised at how she feels towards my race (only assuming), everyone in the world seems to regard us with hatred. So, yeah....It's whatever I guess. Won't lose sleep over it, but might unsubscribe to her. Not saying she's in any shape or form racist. I just don't like to associate with....small minded people that can't seem to accept anything passed their biases. I'm human and still growing, but I've taught myself to respect and tolerate everyone. No matter what they look like.

[@NeilK994]

rosedaline valetine I was thinking the same thing. She only mentioned race when pertaining to the encounter with the black people in the elevator...not the lady at the bus stop. I do hope that was unintentional but i'm with you in the sense of not being surprised if she was somewhat prejudiced against our race. I'll still continue to watch her for the time being as I doubt a transgender woman that understands first hand how it feels to be prematurely judged for things you can't control is inherently racist. It's possible ofc...but highly unlikely

[@rosedalinevaletine6931]

Neil​ I probably won't unsubscribe, even though I said I might, since I'm too lazy to. But, some things I've realized is that, just cause you're in the LGBT doesn't mean you're not racist/discriminatory, and aren't prejudice. I had to learn that the hard way, because I thought they all were nice understanding, open minded people. But, when something doesn't pertain to their tribulations they don't care. Which I understand, because you're not going through the problem yourself, so you'll down play it, cause you can't really relate.

[@Satrina777]

the height thing worries me for when I start my transition because I'm about 6" normally and I love heels. Julie, I gotta say you are one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. When I first saw you, I was just shocked by your beauty. You are absolutely passable, WAAAAY more than I'll ever be. Don't let anybody tell you different. You are stunningly beautiful and you are an inspiration to me and trans people everywhere. I can tell you that seeing how beautiful you are gives me hope that one day I can be beautiful too. Your fantastic personality coupled with your positive outlook on life and how inspirational you are makes you internally beautiful. I'm glad you are here, making videos and helping the community as a whole. I can honestly say that I wouldn't still be alive if you weren't here. You are an amazing person and you keep me (and probably lots of other people) going strong and looking to the future with hope. Stay awesome!

[@RachelDeeRand]

Honey you're gorgeous. Just say, right the first time! You just look nothing like a guy and I'm 5 10 in my bare feet. I'm sure that woman meant no harm. Maybe consider it an opportunity to educate instead of being embarrassed? You could explain how difficult it is for a trans person to have someone bring attention to them in public, even potentially dangerous. Personally I don't know if I'm getting clocked. People are respectful and nice. They treat me as a woman and they don't say stupid stuff. But I'm middle aged and don't dress to stand out when I'm out at the mall. I dress like any other woman my age. You're young and you do dress provocatively, that makes you stand out. Perhaps if you were dressed less to stand out people would take less notice of you. Being clocked is a function of people looking closely because you're noticeable and because you look very nice, clocking you and making nasty comments is a way to pull a nice looking person like you down. Good luck Julie. You deserve nice treatment and respect no matter what you wear, but maybe you need to adjust given all the nasty people in the world - pity their tiny petty minds.

[@theirmanager5204]

Yes! The only way to combat ignorance is through education. You're a wise woman. Respect

[@StaySafeDontDie]

Rachel R What an awesome lady you are.

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

I can't _believe_ there are people like this in the world, especially the latter group. It floors me. Good on you for not literally clocking them. High fives!

[@JaneStonesBeauty]

Some people would kill to look as bomb as you (; keep your head high some people in this world are just cruel. xoxo

[@shubling]

Even though you are pretty materialistic, you quite the inspiration for a lot of ppl. Keep being you and preachin!!

[@andreameiy]

People say these things because it's the way society is. Regardless of what people think though, saying it out loud is just a shit thing to do especially when you were in that elevator as well! Nonetheless, you're the first ever youtuber i've ever gotten hooked onto watching and i am so ridiculously happy for you and your transition! You're incredibly brave and it's amazing how you're so open about your life and transitioning. You're definitely my favorite person on this earth, for everything you are and everything you've done. Thank you mother sparkles, for being you!

[@conniefeldman1894]

I showed my husband a video of you and Gigi. I love both of you, but from a really manly point of view I ask him to watch a untelling regular video of each of you. He said, " that girl Jules u watch is hot, but I've been meaning to ask you was Gigi a guy". Now I love you both, but I find you to be so relaxed and feminine, were as Gigi comes off like she is trying so hard. I find she talks very valley girl. The point is, I'm surprised that a person would think you were born a man.

[@conniefeldman1894]

Agreed

[@sandraschindlerova573]

Connie Feldman Agree, I would never tell Julie is transgender.... Gigi is not passable at all, I mean, she is very pretty and sexy, but her features are still very masculine...

[@denise8404]

Sandra Schindlerová Why pin one girl against another...? Jules literally said that if you see a trans person and you don't think they pass as female don't mention it. Sooooo rude, you're literally doing what the people Jules mentioned in the video were doing. They are both two beautiful woman who Pass as female.

[@conniefeldman1894]

Why should anyone care who anyone is. I was just discussing the topic of how she is naturally pretty, unlike other women who try to hard. How come everything has to be picked apart by people who don't even know any of these women personally. Get over it.

[@slylover123]

julie i just saw one of your old videos and you had thick eyebrows! will you try a thick eyebrow look, or show us how you did it?

[@andygreen4478]

It's jealousy. It's all it is.. Genetic women are going to start getting super, super jealous of transgender women going forward in this world. It's about friggin' time. You look drop dead gorgeous btw.

[@misssophisticated1698]

Andy Green Jealousy? It's called plastic surgery. Anyone can get it sweetheart. Some people rather pay for college or a house than spend $100k on changing their entire body! And why would a genetic female be jealous of trans women? Come on? Think really hard, I know you can do it!

[@andygreen4478]

Yes, I'm a straight man. It certainly will take some time before more and more men become more open and accepting of the idea of possibly dating a transgender woman. That's unfortunate to hear, catwalk33 that you've seen the most beautiful trans women get rejected for someone half as beautiful as they are. Those beautiful women shouldn't worry..they'll meet the perfect man of their dreams soon enough. My advice is that everyone should just find happiness with themselves before anything else. Don't live life because you care about what others think and that limits your true happiness.

[@andygreen4478]

Well happiness should come first in everybody's lives, Misssophisticated 1 ... If buying a house or paying for college is what makes you happy, then that's awesome! If I wasn't truly happy on the inside of myself, then I would do whatever it took to turn that around. Once they physically become the person they truly are on the inside, then they can focus on the other luxuries in life to add to that happiness. Each to their own...

[@misssophisticated1698]

Andy Green How nice. Why are you acting like you don't know why transwomen and men get rejected? Have you heard of procreation? Some people REALLY are into it. That is a fact of life. Some men want to have their own offspring not adopt and not through in vitro. That is apart of human nature for the last 100,000 years, now it is shocking? GOH! And then there is the fact that every person on earth has a preference. Because someone does not want to date a trans person DOES not make them transphobic. Just like someone that does not want to date someone of another race does not make them racist. This world is too fucking PC thinking that people HAVE to date people they have no desire to. Get over yourselves. I am not telling Asian men the HAVE to date me or they are racist! I live in the real world where everyone has the right to chose their own mate, without society saying it's okay.

[@andygreen4478]

I completely understand that, obviously. I'm not trying to offend anyone, just trying to drive home the reality of the message here... To each their own.

[@ryh3000]

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON ON THIS PLANET

[@Ashluv085]

I don't understand how people are clocking you! That woman must be damn psychic or something. I don't understand how she would know! your gorgeous!! and look just as much as a woman as any other woman because you are one. I don't care what no body says! you should have corrected her. I would have. lol And those people in the elevator are just rude, I don't understand how they would know either and even if they did know why did they think it was okay to laugh at you. nothing is funny. If I was around you and something like that happened I would go off! lol. I love ya joules!

[@dipti2060]

This is my first comment over here and I want to say that I totally admire you you are so gorgeous, so sweet. I feel like watching your videos non stop. I can totally understand how it feels no matter how strong you are people just can't take it all they have is a big mouth to talk,please don't give a damn to such sickheads it takes two to be what you are. Keep shining always 😍😘💖

[@lilmsaloha05]

Oo hunny i hope u gave those guys a huge hair flip goodbye!! If i had been in that elevator I most def would have said something to them! That's ridiculous.

[@HeatherExplores19]

I dont understand how anyone could even tell, you shocked me when I found your channel randomly. I had no idea you weren't a naturally born woman. In all of your videos you are just amazing!!!

[@kkimberly2004YT]

Sweetie I wish I could give hug and a long one. I HONESTLY believe you were clocked because you were with your friend and you said you were very tall in the shoes you were wearing possibly factored in as well, but I'm ver confident you were clocked when she made the association with your friend. As fas as the ignorant, buffoons in the elevator, I know them all too well. I knew them very well, in particular, jr. High and high school because I was the fat kid, so I know all to well how you felt in the elevator and how you cried in your room. If I could talk to that fat girl I would tell her to ignore them and to live her life so I am telling you the same thing, ignore them and to live your life!!!!! I think so many trans women make that mistake and worry sooooo much about being clocked that they are forgetting to LIVE!!!!! I would stand in my truth and welcome being clocked!!!!!!! Yes, I once was a boy ,but now I am a FABULOUS WOMAN NOW DARLING! lol Thats tiresome always looking over your shoulder, double checking things, making sure this and that is in order, whew! It's too much! Stop flailing in the water, float on your back and then take a nice swim.

[@mynniquinn4599]

Julie Vue, you weren't born trapped in the wrong body, you were born the way you should have been. In hindsight I am so thrilled that I was assigned male-at-birth, because looking trans is BEAUTIFUL. If someone calls me a man I say "well I am the most beautiful man I have seen." Please do not tell yourself it's the wrong body, that kind of language is what makes trans people feel that they have to get surgery and deny their trans identity. We need to find pride in our trans identity, in the future we will be lauded for our beauty and every man will want to have a trans girlfriend. It just takes patience and strength, I love you girl!

[@xbebehsweetzx]

Sigh, people can be so horrible! I didn't really understand the whole Transgender world. But after watching the Bruce Jenner interview and the special keeping up with the kardashians, where they showed him opening up and talking about "her. " I can see how hurtful it can be. You are beautiful, if I saw you in person I would be like, ughhh look at this tall model, while I stand at 4'10 lol. Anyways, the only thing that I think "gives it away", is the way you talk, I'm sorry but your voice still sounds kinda, like, a "gay guy "...

[@DarthJane]

xbebehsweetzx Have to agree on the voice part, mine still sucks too, but I know I need to practice to get better, Julie seemed to have stopped doing that.

[@mysticalmidnightmask]

xbebehsweetzx If you look at the linguistics of how "feminizing" voices, SO MUCH work goes into it. I think what you mean by sounds like a "gay guy" is perhaps Julie's overuse of feminine traits while speaking. I assume she's more subdued in real life, but she's known for being trans on YT so its possible the feminine traits are used in greater frequency on YT. But the feminine traits I suppose are a personal thing, and I guess its society's fault that we associate these feminine traits with "gayness". Regardless, we should still be proud of all of the hard work that went into Julie's transition. At this point, voice trait moderation is a bit of a smaller issue.

[@DarthJane]

mysticalmidnightmask which is why she needs more training but seemingly stopped since quite some time. Every transgender knows it takes years to get to a perfect, or even good, voice and that regular training is necessary, most also eventually start to realize that it's cool if your voice isn't super high (there are a lot, esp in early transition who speak higher than most cis women but at the same time super unnatural) and modulation is important (which she does a good job on). Not sounding like your nose is clogged (which is her biggest issue with her voice).

[@xbebehsweetzx]

Jana​ mysticalmidnightmask​ thanks for understanding my comment! I thought people would read it the wrong way, because I said "gay voice ". Sorry, I don't know what right terms to use. Anyways, I thought that maybe it's because I know that Julie was born a man that even if she speaks feminine, i still would be able to "clock her". So, I watched one of her videos but didn't look at the screen. And I would've thought it was a gay guy.

[@jerrypie]

In the context of the story though, she didn't say anything to the lady at the bus stop so the lady didn't hear her voice.

[@julietphmateen1161]

Hi girl, whenever these circumstances is happening just smile because you have the most beautiful face. You look much better than most women anyway. Keep being yourself.

[@maleekmonroe1]

Why didn't you correct her? You are a woman.

[@ChampagneHoneybee]

The elevator story brought tears to my eyes. :( You are so sweet and beautiful, and those people are beyond rude. You ARE a lady!

[@Ryarli]

There's nothing wrong with being clocked, gender is so outdated girl - say thank you and move along.

[@sarahfisher4219]

Hey Jules. I'm a brand new follower of yours. I'm a straight, cis 45 year old woman, and let me tell you girl, you are absolutely stunning and in a million years, I would never clock you as anything other than a gorgeous woman. There's nothing masculine about you at all, in fact when I saw you for the first time earlier tonight, I didn't actually believe that you're a trans - woman. Sharing your story with the world is incredibly courageous and inspiring. You're awesome. xo

[@cornsoup1393]

Girl as a 21 year old cis female I /wish/ I looked as stunning as you. I 100% get what you're saying about needing to reconcile reality of your past with your desire to be completely passable, but at the same time know that to me, you are one more beautiful woman in the world. I honestly don't think that I'd be able to clock you just on the street (hell, even on a beach in your cute af bikini).

[@diego-gk3qm]

Girl you are passable and you are gorgeous!

[@paolatorres-bo8nm]

Ok, there are cis women out there who arent half the woman you are. Youre strong,beautiful, gifted, caring, all the best qualities you cant find in any human being. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us😘

[@lommme]

Gooo youuuu!!!! You're so beautiful and you've prospered into becoming a strong woman who loves herself. People are closeminded and is lacking knowledge, they don't undersand so they judge you instead. Just know that you're amazing and it has nothing to do with you when people say stuff like that. They're just trapped in their own stupid minds.

[@Winter_Dream]

It speaks volumes what kind of people they are who would do that to you... It's easy to say "don't get upset" because anyone who is a decent human being would know they are not worth the tears and anxiety, but it's really true. They are NOT worth it. You look so amazing, I mean you are drop dead gorgeous, sure some people might see you were born the wrong gender but damn you are still you and beautiful inside and out.

[@jellygrl2800]

Girl you are gorgeous! I wish I looked half as good as you!

[@TaylorKingLive]

I love that "I'm 80%" bc it is a reality that people may figure it out and it's totally okay. You're truly an inspiration. I hate to compare this but I wish Gigi was honest like this. It's all good though.

[@veritybentley6405]

Love you Julie never let anyone be nasty to you! They have deep issues inside of them that they need to be concerned about other peoples lives!!!! Keep living your happy life because you're beautiful inside and out !!

[@sarahfisher4219]

Even though I'm not a lover of tats, I've seen your vlog on your tats and the stories/meanings behind them, and I actually really love yours. You're awesome. :) :) ❤❤❤

[@lindseymm04]

Girl you're hella realistic. Unrealistic is trying to call someone out for no reason while they're busy happily living their lives & thinking another person's decisions pertains & is relevant to them & the way they think. It's your life, not theirs. That lady had no manners or social etiquette whatsoever. Bet she was just jealous, oblivious & simple minded. What a shame. I support you, look up to you & would love to meet/run into you & be lucky to call you my friend. 😘💋🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️ Have a great day, babe & thanks for sharing.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nikolaihegeman]

I just wanted to say that besides you being such a gorgeous woman, I have always thought that you were always a beautiful person! Looking past just the surface, you have such beautiful soul, and that is why I love you & your videos! :') While I have chosen not to transition, I hope that one day in the next life I will be able to be as beautiful as the woman you are today! love you Joulesss ^____^

[@spoorsb]

You are beautiful Julie! I remember when I started watching your videos about a year ago and didn't realise your real gender for so long! Love you girl, stay strong 😘

[@bellaariel3877]

This is something i go through almost everyday

[@acaciakaigo]

Oh my god, I am mortified for those people in the elevator, they are embarrassing. First off you are a million times more passable than I am, but honestly someone who does that to you is oh so insecure about their attractiveness or sexuality. And if they are somehow not one of those two they are literally crazy and without reason. Girl, you do you--please. You give the rest of us some hope, whether it be to look like you, to be like you, or to have people as nice as you in their life. You are an amazing person and you've made things easier for me, so thank you.

[@sandthes-hl8lc]

Julie babe your gorgeous! Don't let that lady or the ignorant elevator guy get you down or discourage you. YOU ARE WHOEVER YOU SAY YOU ARE! No one can take that from you. Your a gorgeous woman and maybe someone may find out but you don't owe anyone an explanation unless you choose to disclose it. Be strong in who you are and all that you have accomplished. Girl I think your wonderful inside and out! Stay Encouraged girl!

[@Yokokurama777]

Regardless of gender or race you are stunning!!!

Thank you for sharing I’m a Trans woman in Nyc and I get clocked by people and it really hurts when your just trying to be the best you can be ,but I wanna thank you cause you gave me the strength to live another day❤️

[@_EASR_]

I do not see how it's anything to laugh at, you are a lady, you are beautiful and your are you, such an inspiration to us all. I don't even think a bout referring to you as a "he" because you are not. Hun, you're passable af and 10000000x more fabulous, feminine, classy and amazing than a lot of us. You can strut your stuff and be completely confident because you are amazing inside and out, people who decide to be small minded enough to make it out as funny are just jealous because the can't be as awesome as you. Ily and we all do, we are all behind you 100% of the way xxx
