As a kid in the 90s i had a ftm trans "Barbie". Between my sister and I we had a ton of Barbies, one Ken, and some random GI-Joe doll, but some of our games we needed another boy character, so we gave one of our Barbies a gender change. We used electrical tape to bulk out his body to hide his breasts, and gave him a haircut. Gave him the GI-Joe's outfit since it was the best boy outfit we had to cover the fact that he was so taped up. and renamed him. So yeah, trans dolls are not new. Kids adapt their toys as needed. they don't have to wait for an official toy to be released, though the official representation is very much appreciated.

[@Lee.M.D]

[@WitchCee218]

That sounds like fun for your doll. Why are you attacking us? We're not changing for you troll.

[@booklanerecommendations]

That's so cool! When I was a kid, my aunt and uncle liked giving me an American Girl doll for Christmas. I loved those dolls, but they were all girls, so after several years, I asked for a boy doll. The company didn't make any boy dolls. So my aunt and uncle (who I'm pretty sure are transphobic) bought a girl doll with an androgynous outfit, and cut his hair and eyelashes to make him into a boy. I didn't find out he was trans until much later, but I think it's cool that I have a trans doll. American Girl made their first cis boy doll a few years ago, but I had a boy doll long before that :).

[@khills]

Hey! My friends and I did something similar! Same problem - always getting Barbies (or like, a dozen Help Me Obi Wan Kenobi Princess Leia’s), never getting male dolls. We used paper and tape and sewed our own clothing to get extra male dolls - and if we wanted another female doll, we just modified his clothing. (The Princess Leia action figures were harder to modify, so I ended up …well, full on stealing my bro’s toys, and having extra figures meant we could violently destroy them… ) You know, it never occurred to me that this early history is why I enjoy modifying dolls so much now. (I make custom figures for friends - for example, someone’s black cat was named Darth, so I carefully modified a Darth Vader doll with a Simba doll, fixed the packaging, etc. I used a Funko Pop doll to expand on the joke of my Aussie husband liking Captain America and I made a Captain Australia doll, complete with custom box, etc. Stuff like that.)

I only had two boy dolls so two barbies would date them, and the rest would either be single or be queer-coded because I was closeted.

[@bigboomer1013]

Also how can you know if a barbie doll is Trans? Do you have to make a trans Ken doll have barbies body or something? Or a barbie doll to have Ken's face? The dolls don't have genitals, so if a barbie doll is to be Trans woman, you can't tell if they realy are or not since they will have the exact body as what would be a cis barbie. Trans women do tend to look exactly like cis women to the point that transohobes become accidental allys. So I don't know how you can make a trans barbie unless they have a trans flag for trans pride or its based off a trans person OR barbie got a new friend who's trans. Will say that maybe a trans Ken doll actually culd would as a distinctive way to show that a man is trans if if they have top surgury. Would laugh if parents complain about trans Ken when it's literitly just Ken with painted scars. Like what's sexual about it? They don't have dicks or vaginas.

[@SevCaswell]

@@bigboomer1013 My trans 'barbie' doll (a cheap knock off version) was a typical female doll that had had the hair chopped off by some other child, so it was just a short haired female doll that I gave a boy's name and dressed in trousers instead of skirts or dresses. It had also been snapped in half and my childminder was going to throw it out but let me keep it. So I also imagined that this doll was disabled and in a wheelchair. Kids will find ways of exercising their imaginations, and adapt to what toys are available to them.

[@nutella7162]

@@SevCaswell This. I had a "fake" Barbie with darker skin, grey hair and no legs below the knee and another one who was bald. The former I imagined was a disabled person and the latter a woman with cancer after chemo or a punk rocker or even an evil scientist, depending on my lil' self's mood. Kids can be a lot smarter (and way more empathetic) than adults think. Having those two alongside a few others (scarred, missing eyes, fingers, white hair, bald patches...) who were "different" didn't "confuse" me or whatever, if anything, it made me practice my imagination and see how big the world is from a child's perspective. I also treated them all equally. Which can't be said for the real world sadly...

[@booklanerecommendations]

I don't know if I did this with my Barbies, since I used them as different characters on different days so they weren't always the same person. But my American Girl dolls were definitely poly! I only had one boy doll (they didn't have boy dolls yet, but my aunt and uncle had made me one by altering a 'girl' doll, which is kind of funny since they're probably transphobes and they made me a trans doll), and I had a pretty heteronormative mindset as a kid, so I didn't think of having the girl dolls be romantic partners with each other. So instead, my dolls were poly and two or three of the girls got to date the boy while the others remained single.

I don't think it's occurred to transphobes that someone can put serious thought into a decision, carefully consider it from all angles, and still come to a conclusion that's different to what they would have chosen.

A complete inability to empathize with people different from them.

On the trans woman’s in sports thing, I talked with my father about it, and he said he didn’t really think it was fair since that swimmer was winning, but I honestly think I changed his mind when I made the point that yeah, if u have enough trans people in sports eventually one of them will win.

[@keirfarnum6811]

A lot of people don’t realize that trans women are actually at a significant disadvantage due to testosterone suppression to levels far lower than cis women with natural testosterone levels. Eventually a few will overcome that through training hard and working hard for it. But a lot of people just assume a trans woman will have the advantage because they assume a trans woman is still a man somehow; they greatly underestimate the effects of hormones. This is especially true of kids who used puberty blockers and transitioned as soon as they become adults; they’re generally virtually identical to cis women in morphology.

In Davis, CA we have a few transphobes, and they said something stupid and hateful on our FB group, so they were banned, then they tried it on NextDoor, and people clapped back with "Are you trying to move your hate to NextDoor now? It won't work here, either." And last year, when schools were back in after online classes, the High School had an event (I don't know what, maybe transphobes trying to proselytize outside the school?) So the students had a Trans Rights rally and hundreds of teens and their parents came out in support. Same with the Pride parade here - there were like 8 transphobes/homophobes saying how much they supported de-transitioners (in itself, perfectly fine. Supporting a person's life journey is a GOOD thing. Trying to use it to pretend the 99+% of people who don't regret transitioning hate them, not so much.) By comparison, there were several thousand LGBTQIA+ people and our allies at the many celebrations during Pride month. They are a VERY loud minority, feeding into the Moral Panic meant to distract us from things that really matter that our government is ignoring or making worse. *So* bored and angry. P.S.

Another closer example of surgery regret rates would be cis people who get similar procedures that are gender affirming. The regret rates for things like breast enhancement OR breast reduction (which would be similar to top surgery) are many times higher than for trans surgeries. And for some cis women who get treatment-resistant breast cancer, they may undergo a double mastectomy. There's charities around and lots of anecdotes of how they have to grieve the loss of their breasts. You don't really see that with gender affirming surgeries... Another thing is that some people may not want to or may not be able to transition medically, whether that's due to physical health issues OR due to other reasons, like their family being transphobic. And it's so odd, because my mum will often accidentally mix up he and she when speaking English (since Cantonese is her native language), but just because someone identifies as trans, she'll misgender them. As someone who grew up in a pretty conservative Pentecostal home, I would say that there is a misunderstanding of child-led explorations. I was told what to do quite a lot and wasn't really allowed to be on my own, because my mum was a bit of a helicopter mum and I had a lot of food allergies. Like, I was sometimes allowed to choose what I'd like to do, but a lot of my activities were directed. I was allowed to choose what I wanted to watch to a degree, but as a kid, my mum didn't like me watching things like High School Musical or Hannah Montana with my sister. She still likes to dictate what I do with my time, like going on walks or what I watch (I should only watch uplifting or educational things, if anything), what I read (she REALLY doesn't like that I'm a big fan of Percy Jackson and all the books by Rick Riordan). Along that vein, when I first became an adult, it was difficult to talk to her. And to this day, I don't feel capable of making decisions for myself, but then they get mad at me when I want to defer to them. And she wonders why I tell white lies?

I hope you know other adults (family members/teachers etc) who will be accepting of you and can support you, and if not, please reach out for help from whoever in your community can provide it (school counsellor, doctor etc). At the same time, your parents have those negative beliefs because they were taught them from childhood by their church or culture, and if they don't know any real LGBT+ people they are probably afraid for you because they believe in the stereotypes and think that other people will mis-treat you. They could be in shock, and although it certainly is not acceptable to yell at you, they may be capable of changing their views over time, given the right education and support. I know there are organisations like PFLAG that support parents of LGBT+ folks to deal with their own homophobia and set them on the right track...

Hi WorrierCat, I had a similar experience when figuring out that I'm enby. I always described myself as a tomboy when I was younger; whenever we had class discussions about identity "female" was never one I thought of immediately for myself and I struggled even more when having to describe what was inherently mascule or feminine. I kinda see my gender as a sliding scale of 1 to 10, 1 being 100% female, 10 being 100% male, and on any given day I'll slide between 2 and 7, so never fully female but more femme leaning than masc. I like wearing pretty dresses and floral patterns and make up some days, most days I dress/feel/act neutral/neither/andro, but other days I feel more like a guy, the masc feeling is especially noticeable if I'm hanging out with my more femme female friends that day. I was told the definition of what is a man or woman is "the intrinsic knowing of which one you are", but being enby, there's a lot of unsureness and confusion because I don't feel that conviction for either. There's nothing wrong with any combination (female, male, neither, both, and anywhere in between) and it's normal to not have how you feel in a fixed position 😊 I hope this helps you figure yourself out!

I haven't finished the video yet, but I wanna tell a little story related to the surgery regret rate stuff. On Bonfire Night of 2021, I broke my ankle. Bimalleolar fracture, which means it was broken in two places and needed surgery. A bimalleolar is like the second worst ankle fracture you can get. I couldn't walk at all. A week after I broke it, I had my surgery and had to stay 4 days in hospital. I was in a cast for 6 weeks. However, it never healed right and I still have pain and swelling to this day. On one of my x-rays, there was a gap in my bones that wasn't there before and there was concern that my surgeon had torn a ligament during the surgery, for which I would have had to have another surgery. But then, after a CT scan, they sort of waved me off without letting me look at the CT images myself. I do think my surgeon tore my ligament tbh, bc I still am struggling so bad and it's the only answer I can think of. I think they just didn't wanna get sued. I already had chronic pain conditions, and this has made them 10 times worse. It has contributed to me becoming an ambulatory wheelchair user bc it is that bad. I am autistic and get sensory issues if my feet are bare, but sometimes, I just have to take my sock off and deal with it bc my foot swells up to the size of a balloon. I've got very little strength in it now. I also hate my scars, I think they're so ugly, so I worry about wearing dresses or shorts now bc I don't want people seeing my huge, dark scars. 🥲 I'm white but the scars have healed red/purple for some reason. I wouldn't say I fully regret my surgery bc obvs it was needed, but I think I regret not asking more questions and I think maybe I should have asked to have it done at a different hospital or smth (however, I live in the UK, so as I'm sure you know, Jamie, it's not that easy to pick and choose who you go to on the NHS). I just wish things could have been done differently somehow bc the pain and swelling in my ankle has destroyed what little life I had left. I can't even bend it inwards. Can't dance. Can't run. I've had to give up so much of my life bc of this. I am depressed about a surgery that I physically NEEDED, but you don't see people saying we should ban all surgeries for ankle fractures now, do you? No, bc that would be ridiculous. The only reason people don't see being anti-gender affirming care as ridiculous is, like you said, bc of transphobia. Bc if it was really concern, then they would be campaigning against other kinds of surgeries with WAY HIGHER complication and regret rates as well.

I missed the local Pride Parade this year. I was gutted, but my very conservative gran, who is a Catholic minister, went without me and got me some keyrings, some bracelets and a bisexual pride flag ❤❤🥰❤️❤️ she melted the chunk of black ice in my chest 🖤

I saw another one yesterday that said “on your birth certificate it says-“ to which the trans woman replies “yeah, well, it also said I was 7lbs 8oz and a lot has changed since then”

[@Kat_WithTheHat]

When we got our cat(it's a precious lil boy) a couple months back, my mom kept calling him a girl, and saying 'she', when referring to him. Now, nobody cared, because it's a cat. He doesn't understand anyways. But she would always correct herself, and even go as far as to apologize to the cat. This utterly *infuriated* me, because I have a trans friend (ftm), who's pronouns she doesn't care about at all. I'll correct her, and she blows up at me, saying I'm being disrespectful, and that " *HeR* mother still calls *her* [deadname]!!", intentionally using the wrong ones just to rub it in. And she wonders why I don't like talking to her about my friends/personal life. My only question is how are people like this more respectful to literal animals, than humans?

[@VelaiciaCreator]

I think they just don't like people in general. Animals don't complain and all.

[@Kat_WithTheHat]

@stopgbt what does that even mean If you’re talking about that video on your channel you already got clowned in the comments. You don’t need to get clowned here too

[@RicochetXD]

My nephew has been seeing a lot of things on tik-tok. I'm openly bisexual and he now 'disagrees' with LGBTQ+ because of all the homophobia and transphobia on the platform. I had to remind him last time I was there that not liking something for yourself isn't the same as disliking people for liking a thing. Used the classic tacos and hot dogs analogy and he sort of got it. He's 10 and raised in a very liberal household. The fact that he's falling into it means that it is, indeed, everywhere.

[@multifandomCass]

Okay so I have been meaning to say I've started T recently and I excited for this start of my life and you've been one if the creators I've gone to for some information about some trans topic (the mai none I remember being bottom surgery) but I'm just glad I have someone like you to look at and to know that food changes are going to comd

[@Igbt_needs_to_stop]

I'm burnjn the Igbt flag jn my profjle!.

[@multifandomCass]

@stopgbt Good for you I guess? You do you boo it's not going to stop people from being lgbt just make them stay away from you

[@paicina]

wow i had no idea that they made a trans barbie doll, that is so cute. barbie has been a good brand for keeping with the times, which i love🧡🧡🧡

[@ghjgme]

My favorite barbie was my weird barbie. I called her winky but all of her hair is missing and it's one of the few that survived the sharpie pocolipse that resulted in my mom throwing a bunch of my dolls out because my brothers did things like add nipples and pubes to all my barbies,

[@lilibane81]

I need to smuggle that barbie. maybe give it secretly to children with unsupportive parents. I wish Santa was real. then he'd actually be able to help children feel safe and understood at that young age. no one would ever see the boy holding the barbie close to herself at night, sleeping happily feeling aknowledged.

[@MiloticFan13]

If I had a nickel for ever time a first lady had a female lover that had significant evidence they were lovers, I'd have two nickels. (Rose Cleveland and Eleanor Roosevelt ) also there's probably more but nobody remembers every single fact ever. History fact of the day.

[@MiloticFan13]

Thank you for all the likes 😃

[@Bugg...0_o]

Omg I'm keeping this for when I'm feeling down!😭 I'm not even trans, but the positivity in these horrible times is needed. You are all valid and beautiful, and if someone tries some shit in my presence around one of you, they are gonna catch these hands!

[@emilygrimm5222]

This was the positivity I need. Also getting your book soon x

10:13 The Transphobic Trilogy, like the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy but even *worse* somehow

[@timothyisstupid]

Somehow the transphobes returned

[@koomber777]

I enjoy seeing Jamie do the nice ones once in a while. But. I cannot wrap my head around how he can muster the fortitude to wade through so many of the bad subs. It just feels it would be likebpulling your soul through barbed wire.

[@Ryanthesiren]

14:17 you know imagining that trans people are Pokémon that have evolved does sound like a good way to help you not accidentally deadname someone

[@coasttocoast2011]

I’m with you Jamie, any sort of ism or phobia such as transphobia baffles me

[@xeldrine66]

Does someone have the link to the study stated at 8:55? I want to read and show it to my mom to prove to her that the ban on trans women in sports makes no sense (I was against what she said but I couldn't prove my point exect by saying: "It dosen't feel right to ban trans women from women's sports"). Love you all and you're all valid ❤.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Beware of confirmation bias.

[@xeldrine66]

​@ShinyTillDawn Beware also that I checked other sources with no conclusive results. And also that Jammi isn't the only one to say that trans women do not have an advantage in sports. Maybe we should let people who are trans/scientists who are not bigoted towards trans women to see what they think about the issue.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

@@xeldrine66 You checked other sources that had both opposing view points. That's good to know.

[@satonimon2774]

@@xeldrine66 im not a scientist nor trans but... trans women have a DISadvantage in sports, since their testosterone is leveled but less than natural testosterone with cis woman, so...

[@dragonzrsick2543]

12:00 My mother forces me to go to church so, i wouldn't be surprised if this is genuinely why they think that. Luckily she uses my preffered nickname most of the time and roughly avoids misgendering me.

[@agoffgrid640]

Your pre-video advertisement was from epoch times showing a mom asking a kid if they wanted to be the opposite gender of how they were presenting and then immediately the next scene was a surgeon picking up a scalpel. At least you're getting the money but my gods these people are mind-blowing

[@neon17.08]

Goes to show how much these people want to look like brainless idiots, they're refusing to listen or do any research at all, if that doesn't scream I want to ignorant and come up with my own outlandish ideas then I don't know what is.

[@_StarlightRose_]

Jammi do you think you could do some more videos on egg_irl, or other such trans memes? I do love the good trans anatomy

[@prestonsmorg2098]

Ignore starlight the homophobe

[@katbairwell]

I tired saying "bad cis anatomy" 3 times quickly, and ended up with "bad Cincinnati". I do not know if this is a fair judgement to level at the city, but it made mw smile, so thank you Jamie! Because I have ADHD, I also immediately went down a rabbit hole of research, and today I learned that Columbus is the state capital of Ohio, I always thought it was Cleveland, so I guess it is off to "Bad US Anatomy" for me!

[@AniBuggy]

When I think of the state of lgbt+ rights I just remember that when they write the “20’s” part of the history books they will talk about how the lgbt+ community won the war and got full inclusion and equality for them

[@r.w.bottorff7735]

I love the happy change of pace with the positivity in this one. Thank you!

[@hoodie3388]

Fun fact In pokemon, azurill has a 25% chance if being male and a 75% chance if being female. It's evolution Marill has a 50% chance to be either Male or female. Because of this, for several years, there was a 1/3 chance that your female azurill became Male after evolving into Marill Still, I have yet to see anyone complaining about their Maril changing gender

[@ShinyTillDawn]

oh yeah gotta love programming oversights

[@martind2520]

Is that actually true though? Aren't those percentages the percentages for male and female in a wild catch? Whereas if you already have one caught and evolve it, it is guaranteed to remain female if it already was.

[@hoodie3388]

@@martind2520 no, if you look it up, it really was a thing, I don't remember when, but eventually they changed it so it wouldn't happen anymore I'm not a programmer, so I don't know the details, but I do know this was a thing that was going on

[@satonimon2774]

we love azurill/marill the trans ally 👏👏👏
