Pretty Boy who I am very proud of

[@turnthatshitoff]

cavetown boy ? did you just assume his gender

[@kamryn604]

Hi cavetown o/

[@linzihan]

omg

[@jovienesbitt6064]

Demiboy..? Nonbinary and male at the same time?

[@rudylynn660]

Or genderfluid

[@abbiejayne2882]

Internet animal hey there jov ❤

[@jovienesbitt6064]

Leo TM nope. thats fluidity. hes both at the same time

[@rudylynn660]

+Internet animal +Internet animal he said at times he feels more masculine and sometimes he feels monbianary and sometimes both so...

[@jovienesbitt6064]

abbie's secrets hey big sis 💘

[@yael5334]

Mate you've put my exact struggle into words? This is exactly what I've been dealing with for the past 8 months. It's so weird to listen to this, because everything you said about your gender 100% describes mine. I'm??? what

[@JakeFTMagic]

aWH! Twinsies

[@pukinbabymiller4290]

Ha! That Ty Turner referance

[@jaym2702]

So happy to hear you coming out about this!!! Honestly what you're describing is EXACTLY how I've been feeling too, so it's great to hear someone else talk about it and have the courage to come out about it and accept it in themselves. Really, so excited for you. The journey to self-discovery is never-ending!! ❤️❤️

[@kaikiser3529]

Masculine presenting, non-binary/agender person here: Thank you for having the courage to come out and for being so thoughtful in how you did so. All of our experiences are different and I hope that yours goes smoothly in this new stage of life. :)

[@stressedandinneedofrest3826]

This is sorta funny because I've been accidentally using they/them pronouns for you a lot lately

[@JakeFTMagic]

Not an accident anymore!!!!!

[@stressedandinneedofrest3826]

Jake Edwards whoo

[@FriendJamie]

Yay :D I shall refer to you as pretty Jake from now until the end of time. No power on earth can change it!

[@JakeFTMagic]

I ACCEPT THIS OFFERING. THANK.

[@princelystorm]

I fucking lost it at the "I'm gonna start taking over Ty Turner's territory now" because I JUST watched a Ty video before this. XD

[@sp4mmich]

gosh jake im so proud of you for coming out

[@leoc4013]

I like how Chase Ross describes himself (although I don't believe he identifies as non binary) he said that he is male but a little bit squiggle lol I like that term squiggle lol Also I'm glad you seem a lot more confident in yourself these days and also are open enough to share such a personal thing with us. I'm glad you are you no matter the label.

[@PopcornEmma]

pretty? handsome? more like pretty handsome

[@Nery_Nery]

I saw that coming because of Jake's video the other day. Pretty cool, dude! Love you.

[@h2ogurl1234]

I love you. Thank you. A lot of this is how I feel but I still want to transition. Hearing someone else saying these words about what I feel makes me feel so much better.

[@ActualRachel]

yes!! welcome to the non-binary boy squad

[@JakeFTMagic]

ilu

[@pollystyrene]

"I'm not 100% male because I like make-up and nail polish and pink" and "I'm zero percent female" are two pretty incompatible arguments. Make-up/nail polish/pink/any particular taste anyone has does not determine their gender. They're just personality traits and preferences.

[@727Amani]

You'll figure it all out. I'm so proud of you!

[@ChortlesOfDoom]

YOU'RE NONBINARY I'M NONBINARY BE MY FRIEND

[@tiddletids]

YAHSSSSSSS good on you (totally not surprised, but self discovery is super duper littttt and is never easy so I hope you celebrate and treat yourself tonight)

[@dylannicholas6921]

thank you for making a video about this because its a very real feeling that i know people other than you and i feel. chase ross once described his gender as 80% male and 20% squiggle and i identify so strongly with that statement and im so glad that other people do too. this is a really good video. thank you so much for it

[@alexanderendrizzi462]

this makes me so incredibly happy, the way you word things are so wonderful and true

[@tomharris195]

So proud of you, dude. It takes a lot to come out so publically, especially for basically a second time. I wish you the best in figuring yourself out, and we'll all be there to support you through the process.

[@phineas1378]

fam i just wanna hug you 💕💕💕 omg you looked so nervous at the beginning there

[@dakotarandom7297]

So proud of you it takes a lot to be able to come out and say what you're feeling

[@callumleatherbarrow3778]

so thankful that you are so open about how you feel, identify, and such, so proud that you feel you can be who you are in this world. so grateful that i found your channel so long ago because time and time again you help me to understand and to navigate my own struggles with labels

[@banrions]

happy for you!!! figuring out more stuff about yourself is always awesome/scary:)

[@morningstar166]

I love the way you intelligently speak and how I get a very clear picture of your soul. It's beautifully tragic because I know of no one like you in person, which frustrates me to no end.

[@alicialeane1768]

I'm so proud of you. It's difficult to do something like this and I'm glad you trust us enough to do so. Love you so much ❤❤

[@phabelgreene7875]

Shit dude that's exactly how I identify! I actually identified as androgynous for a long time before realizing I'm mostly ftm, and only _kind of_ nonbinary. And what you said about being kind of fluid is me, too!! Holy shit, you're me!!!

[@maxcoogan9799]

I'm so proud of you Jake, always going to support you no matter how you identify :) also you're very pretty and handsome !

[@flo5925]

Aaah this is so relatable! I feel the exact same way! ;;

[@ruiem4789]

You are so pretty and handsome and we love you so much no matter how cringey this sounds. There are going to be people that don't understand but please don't let them affect you because, no matter how you identify, you are still the amazing Jake Edwards and I will never stop watching your channel. From a local nonbinary person that loves your videos xxx

[@Sophie.L.H]

Mad respect to you for doing this, coming out is terrifying whether it's sexuality or gender. Sending lots of love and support your way :)

[@andiehernandez1995]

Yay! I'm so happy you are comfortable enough with yourself right now that you were able to come out as non binary. It is very true you don't know a lot of NB stuff but you always can speak of your own experience. Following NB people in social media could help you to learn things a lot. KZbin helped me SO MUCH to start identifying as non binary and genderfluid. I understand you're nervous but you must always know you're 100% valid and there are lots of people who love you including your lovely boyfriend and also we, your fans! Love you Jake

[@evag-s5177]

I'm non-binary too! Always nice to see more non-binary people talking about their experience.

[@ezra.williams]

same

[@LauraPictures]

I'm so proud of you 💙 I'm non binary and identify as a demiboy, so partly male, partly nothing (agender) and if it wouldn't have been for you I'd probably have never felt comfortable in wearing nail polish, jewellery, etc. and now seeing you coming out as non binary just makes me smile quiet big, so thx for sharing that! (not to say that it wasn't in someway somewhat expectable after your ominous last video) 😅

[@leeschmidt4336]

just because you are feminine doesn't mean that you have to be non binary you can still be trans male and and not have to be completely masculine. I mean do whatever you want. I mean no disrespect at all sorry if that was disrespectful.

[@leeschmidt4336]

like i believe that i am also nb male i think (still questioning) but i am just putting out my opinion.

[@TheJanaificationable]

For all of you who questions his words and saying he is just a feminine man. He just said it is hard for him to talk about being nonbinary so you can maybe just appreciate he talks about serious topic on youtube expressing himself and just accept he is the gender he talks about? You don't know him better he does himself. Jake, nice video btw it is sad a lot of people don't talk about being nonbinary in videos and I think it will help a lot of people who just can't fit in binary gender :))

[@emilycrowleyyy]

gahhh, you're the most adorable little bean ever. i love you omggggg so so proud of you dude

[@fellow7559]

Little tip to get rid of that static noise: Put audio track into Audacity, select a part of the track where the static is present but you aren't talking. Go on to the "effects menu" and select noise removal, click "get noise profile", leave all settings at default and click the OK button.

[@bazzystar0.0]

hey! I'm so glad you came out and made a video about this! As someone who is non-binary it's so amazing to other people discover themselves! I've been through that process and i know what it's like and figuring out who you are regardless of using labels or not is just refreshing and great. (also, maybe do some research on the identity demiboy i feel like that would make you understand a bit yourself more and welcome to the community of us non-binaries 😊)

[@brysonpfouts8949]

I'm having kind of a different kind of journey. I came out as agender about a year ago but now I'm feeling like I lean more towards being a man. I don't think I was comfortable with that part because people have called me manly and things like that in the past with a negative connotation when I was presenting pretty femininely. So I think I'm working through that. Nothing ever has to be concrete and we are always continuing to find ourselves. Thank you for sharing and being brave.

[@horrorshock666]

I wouldn't say you're in any way a different gender just because you wear make up or nail varnish etc. I'm a gay male but I wear make up every day but I'm just that... A guy who wears make up. I'm not non binary just because I wear it and neither is a guy who waxes or does more 'feminine' things. There are too many labels and just be yourself and don't worry about labelling.

[@kyle5700]

hey bb, i love this video and i cried bc i'm a whimp. i love you a lot and i just wanted you to know how proud of you everyone is. like just in case you didn't know, we're all always going to support you no matter what. you're a huge inspiration to me (a non binary afab he-pronouns disaster) because your story is so similar to mine and i've been a fan for so long. it makes my heart so warm, and i know you're probably very busy but if you're looking for more non binary people to talk to, i'm here for you 💕😘 i care about you so much and so does everyone else!!

[@llewballantine6678]

Proud of you lad (he says, being a couple of years younger)

[@ryanlee354]

I love you, Jake :)

[@Albaquenocalba]

I've been watching your videos for years and I'm so happy and proud of you maan!! Also I think gender is suuuper confusing, at least for all us NB people hahaha so you don't have to rush to know exactly what that other gender you feel is. Sending you and Alex lots of love

[@vickya3403]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been confused about my gender and sexuality lately and felt alone in that. It's nice to know that even though you've chosen the labels that you identify with the most, there are still nuances to your gender and sexuality that aren't encompassed by those labels. I feel similarly, and you really helped me out by talking about it. Thanks for having the courage to make this xx

[@OneOddKitteh]

Thank you so much for voicing something I've been trying to work out in my head for ages. I came out as a trans dude first, and trying to come out a second time as nonbinary was terrifying. Realising that I actually love makeup was scary as hell, but figuring out what ways makeup can make me feel more comfortable in my skin and not less (like I thought something associated with femininity would) was like discovering sugar for the first time. I hope you feel more comfortable in yourself and your presentation now, and that you're enjoying the adventure of figuring out what things appeal to you as a nonbinary person/guy :)

[@brennak.5771]

So glad that you're able to explore this aspect of your identity! So cool!

[@loreleibowman]

Broooo congrats! Also the way you spoke about makeup & stereotypically feminine stuff was so succinct compared to how I've ever managed it 😂 But I'm exactly the same, I love makeup but in other respects I'm totally more into stereotypically masc stuff, but because I look female I don't express my interest in (for example) makeup cause I don't want people to see that and be like oh it's a girl cuz nah it's not. it's kind of like even though you yourself know that makeup has fuck all gender, because society sees it as a girl thing it makes me uncomfortable in myself just cause of what other people think. society is dumb y'know

[@davidking8744]

you are amazing! I'm glad you came out! I support you Jake (:

[@briartarbert7047]

I'm really happy that you felt comfortable coming out about this in such a public way. Good for you, dude! ~from a genderfluid trans guy

[@leehendricks2877]

I thought I was the only my person like that. There are no words to describe how happy it makes me feel to know there is someone else luke me. Thankyou for sharing!!

[@tylerc8515]

i identify as a demiboy because i dont feel comfortable identifying as binary male but i do identify as mostly male and im comfortable being seen as binary male ☺ well done for saying it out loud! it's a very difficult thing to do 💙

[@Wolfinlavender]

I'm kind of having the opposite situation to you, but also similar, I think? I've thought I was non binary for a couple of years now, but more recently begun to wonder if I'm actually a guy, and so I'm wondering if I might be like a non binary guy, or a demiguy or something. I usually use they/them pronouns, but have recently decided that people can use he/him for me if they want. I'm still exploring it right now, so it might be I ultimately realise I don't feel like a guy at all, and am purely non binary. But there are some times when I just feel super masculine, and feel like I really could be a guy. So we'll see I guess! Either way, nice to hear you talk about this, I know it can be frightening to come out as non binary, since it's something a lot of people still don't really understand/accept.

[@Justkeeponlaughing21]

Kolby Gardiner my exploration was really similar to this. i identified as nonbinary for a while and then moved completely to ftm but now ik i'm somewhere in the middle

[@Wolfinlavender]

It's really good to know other people have done similar exploration of their gender! I feel quite lost and self conscious about being unsure of my gender, but it's comforting to know others have been through similar experiences.

[@lunminyard8656]

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU DHDHFHF I LOVE YOU

[@lunminyard8656]

also is that tarot

[@sassybdassi6686]

proud of you Jake! xxx

[@tabby72802]

Proud of you!!!! This was an awesome video!

[@Oddiknees]

I'm ftm nonbinary. I'm going to get top surgery, I'm still figuring out if I want hormones, and I use he/him. It took me awhile to figure this out but I'm still not completely comfortable with "feminine" things that I like. This video is relatable.

[@paperaddict3756]

actually love you,i aspire to achieve your level of pure beauty 0,0

[@Max-po6ls]

I'm so happy for you!! Welcome to the NB side😊💙

[@boylemansion]

So happy for you sweetheart!! Came here for the FTM content but of course I'm staying!! Wish you nothing but the best

[@AlexTeschlog]

congrats my dude!!! I'm happy for you💗💗💗💗

[@leo-yz4wl]

Im guessing demiboy?

[@matthewschrader-patton4420]

yayay I'm so happy that ur figuring all it out...I'm still figuring it out but coming out as (part) non binary is great and I'm so happy for my jake Edwards friendly neighborhood non binary trans person!!!!

[@ozercolino7643]

I feel a similar way and I think that there are a lot of other people who also do. I've met people who transitioned to "male" as in they took testosterone and had top surgery, but didn't feel a strong connection to any gender. Personally, I'm about half male and half other gender (I'm not sure what that gender is). There's a lot of different labels that I could technically use for myself (like bigender, genderfluid, demiboy) but usually I tell people that I'm a nonbinary guy.

[@sockelf]

soo proud of you!

[@Bobsypuff]

It sounds like you've gone through a sort of similar experience as myself with my sexuality. I decided I wasn't really straight and then thought maybe I was Bi before settling as labelling myself as a lesbian. Maybe bought you've had to fight so hard to be perceived by the world as male you automatically adopted male as a gender before working through info what you ACTUALLY feel like. Whatever gender you choose Jake you're fucking awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jaydenv8557]

This is definitely very relatable, I mean, I've come out to all my friends and everyone online as transgender, and that's whatI feel like I am, and although I feel like a guy, there are still some non masculine aspects of me, I too love painting my nails, I love purple, i do kinda like makeup and all that jazz, but I know I'm not female. He him his pronouns make me feel comfortable but sometimes I'm like is this me. I don't really know but I think I might be transgender non binary like Miles

[@derek5978]

it's really refreshing to see that you and I seem to have very similar experiences with gender. it's been nearly impossible for anyone to think it's possible for me to be both, let alone identifying in a similar way

[@tp1835]

Aaaa so proud of you Jake we will support you no matter how you feel gender-wise :)

[@RainSiriusValentine]

I get how you feel. Thanks really for making this video! It helped me out.

[@ARoseByAn0therName]

I've tried on so many different descriptions of my gender, and it makes me really happy to see that I'm not alone in that. currently, I think agender is the most accurate representation of me, but who knows. thank you so much, though, for everything you do for the genderqueer community; you've really helped me in so many ways you can't even imagine!

[@annamurphy246]

Don't be scared Jake. We're all so proud of you for telling us. I love you Jake, and if you want to know more about nonbinary identities, my friends and I can help.

[@whyamilikethis4419]

I've seen you trying to understand yourself for a while now and I want to thank you for being the most authentically you that you can be. You've helped me understand my own gender and made me comfortable with my gender expression although I'm not all the way there yet :)

[@TheAetherealMeadow]

I can relate to how you feel except I was assigned male at birth and transitioned to female. Going on estrogen making super femme presentation no longer necassary to be gendered female kind of opened up the extent to which I could express myself. For me, the biggest thing is that who I am as a person as just being "woman" is hard to wrap my head around because there are 3.5 billion women and they are all different. I am just me, and "me" happens to be somewhat closer to "woman" than to "man" but at the end of the day I'm more just simply "me". I've been thinking of whether or not I should come out as non-binary- I think "semi binary" would the best way to describe myself, and I wish it could be a more common term.

[@mizzraika]

Well, congrats on that discovery, and thank you for sharing! I've been on a similar "what the actual flip is my actual gender??????" roller coaster too, and I've settled on agender because I identify with none of the things. At all. Labels are good if they're self-chosen, so take your time figuring this out, or don't figure it out, "questioning" is always a valid option too :)

[@jakeellis6961]

We sort of already knew this buddy!! 💙 I'm proud that you've been able to share it with the internet though! I know I can speak for most of your followers when I say we will support you no matter what you identify as. You're the same person you always have been, you just like to wear pretty things and pretty colours. That's chill! Stay fabulous jake 😊

[@taylorfran2135]

YOUR SO CUTE!! YOUR LAUGH IS FUCKING ADORABLE!! ALEX IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU GAAAHHH!!

[@VideoGameGirl7]

very happy for you

[@Minimus1999]

The only thing I can tell you iS; THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I just started figuring myself out. I'm born and raised female, but lately I have felt that the term "female" wasn't 100% right. I feel like your gender is very like mine (except you relate to male, while I do female), and it was SOOOO awesome to find someone I can relate to! I was affraid that I couldn't be "non-binary and female" at the same time, I felt like I had to be 50/50 male/female, to be non-binary. The truth is that I feel like a mix between female and "third gender". So again THANK YOU! it is amazing to not feel alone, and to feel that what I am is ok! - L

[@lusons6906]

PROUD OF YOU

[@twzoomies]

I just identify myself as a nonbinary trans man (but let most people assume i'm binary) and how you described your experience with gender is pretty well the same way I experience it.

[@Oliver-vs1kd]

I'm so proud of you. be who you want to be, that's what matters

[@Djaybird]

Really proud of you

[@leoas6951]

Congrats Jake!!!!!!!!

[@etiennetavares8949]

I identify with u SO much dude. Thank you for sharing and opening up. :)

[@fallingjupiter]

I totally get this. It's like what Ash says. Labels just make you feel comfy in your own body. If you wanted to wear nail polish and makeup and still be called a man, that's totally fine. If you feel like your gender might be better represented under a different title, that's also fine. It's frustrating that other people don't quite get this nonchalant view of gender. Aka gender is a social construct. Humans can do whatever they want with their appearance, labels, and body that makes them the most happy. As long as no one is absolutely rude about it, it's just fine. Proud of you, Jake! I know it must be difficult to come to this conclusion after identifying and having others identify you as ftm in the past.

[@mysty3264]

I relate to this video.. I want to be on T/have top surgery so I can feel comfortable to wear stuff that is less masculine and maybe explore my gender/gender expression a little further. I know that I'm not 100% binary male but I'm like too uncomfortable to experiment with that at the moment cuz I barely pass. Maybe someday tho.. :^) love u Jake

[@phoenixeads8468]

i feel exactly like this. i think im gonna wait to explore until im fully transitioned though, i feel exactly how you do honestly. im only 2 months on testosterone though, and when people use they for me i get worried that theyre using it as an excuse to not use he or see me as a boy because people have done that in my life? i dont feel quite comfortable expressing myself fully yet with the amount of dysphoria i feel. i definitely have the same fluctuation and the same male aspect there and then a little bit of ? but i think its just lack of gender for the other part. i cant get top surgery for at least 3 years so i dont know if ill feel comfortable after a year or so on testosterone or whenever i get top surgery. i guess we'll see. Sorry for such a long comment haha

[@nearthe2nd]

I relate to this so much. I'm proud of you. I believe in you.

[@maferjaimes2311]

(si alguien sabe español ) me podrían decir si él termino con él otro niño ? osea con él q salia vídeos antes (lo siento soy nueva)

[@jamwise.gamgee]

i feel basically exactly the same as you. gender, presentation, feminity, all of it.

[@trinchen1414]

you're so pretty!!! love the hair :)

[@maysonpersson9010]

I identify as trans/non binary/ genderflux. In my native language we only have the word non binary, but "in English" (it's all the time, but I don't speak English in my day to day life) I identify as genderflux. I see gender as a scale, with male in one side and female on the other. Totally non binary (in my language) is in the middle. I fluctuate between close to the middle on the female side and just past the middle of the middle on the other side (so like at 22% if male was 0% and female 100%). I use they/them pronouns and identify as pansexualish. What Jake described in this video is close to watch I'm feeling, but I'm not binary, and I hope this comment helps someone- it that Jake (who btw was one of the people making me realise I am trans and then gave me the courage to come out) sees it. He is very pretty in this video and I adore those nails!❤️❤️ remember that you are beautiful, who every you are, and that you deserve to be happy!

[@alainazwiefka8432]

Support you no matter what Jake! Love you!❤

[@rudylynn660]

Bigender or a demiboy? I feel somewhat similar but I identify as genderqueer.

[@rudylynn660]

Or genderfluid

[@skyeshaddix1835]

i already thought you were out as non binary... oooops oh well. congrats on saying it
