TRANS GUY ANSWERS MOST GOOGLED TRANS QUESTIONS

[@newtnoot2794]

"How do transgenders work" "well I'm a freelancer..." DEAD 😂😂

[@HeyItsAlyssa94]

I just nodded and said to myself, "I see. I see. Good for you."

[@didyoujustwhat]

Jett Jo johnson | tf you saying

[@khoury6791]

@Jett Jo johnson uhm, what the fuck? Do your research please.

[@khoury6791]

@Jett Jo johnson also why is this a reply to a completely unrelated topic?

[@aidenmckenna561]

the first two search results that pop up are "is aiden a girl name" and "is aiden a boy name" and if that doesn't sum up my whole experience with gender than I don't know what does

[@mr.potato3367]

Aiden McKenna my neighbor has that name his a boy

[@sneeb4577]

As a trans guy with the name Aiden, I constantly get misgendered because of this.

[@AidenExists]

omg my name is Aiden too and when i searched "is aiden" it came up with "is aiden a muslim name"

[@CairistionaO]

Just leaving this for the casual internet person, Aiden/Aidan is an Irish given name for men meaning "little flame" or something flame 🔥. For this reason, in Ireland and outside of the USA, you'll only find it on men but in America there is starting trend to use Aiden/Aidan for women. Famous Aiden/Aidans are the Irish actors Aiden Gillen (Littltefinger from Game of Thrones) and Aidan Turner (Poldark, Being Human).

[@loeandbehold4808]

Aidan/Aiden is a name often used as a nonbinary and trans persons name lol

[@loser5136]

LMAO I’m trans (ftm) and I’m OBSESSED with WOLVES... I’ve been asked why before Ima just send them this lol

[@angstyarchivist]

Sameee. i have a wol f blanket and I cant sleep without itt

[@jamieisnotokay3298]

I'm a transmasc enby and I was obsessed with both mermaids and wolves lol-

[@RoganShannon13]

🌵 I enjoy the snarkiness! If I google my full name, I get nothing. If it's just my first name, I get "is rogan's shoes legit" Wonderful question, and I can assure you my shoes are legit.

[@bookwermofthefandoms]

[@calebkelly7813]

I love wolves I had no idea it was common amung me and trans kids

[@raelynhomecreations8558]

Omg, Rogan! I've seen you on a few videos. I'm an ASL Studies grad :)

[@CarbonUnitX]

About the wolf thing - myself and another trans guy I know can attest to this: the reason us trans guys are so likely at one point or another to be drawn to animals and animal alter egos is because 1) with canines especially the difference in appearance between the genders isn't as pronounced as with humans - a wolf/dog is a wolf/dog and that's it! and 2) if a kid doesn't know he's trans he may wanna escape his body by imagining being a different species altogether :)

[@sethn5217]

I would of thought it was because werewolfs transform from one body into another.

[@yaboimagnus4776]

I like wolves bc my family have lots of dogs and I grew up with them (with our first dog joining the family before I was even conceived)

[@cameron4015]

This is an awesome explaination.. when I was little I told my dad I really wanted to be a dog. And he said why ?...now I was too young to remember what I answered but this really resignation with me cause there really is no difference and to escape it all sounds nice. Cause to me has a little trans boy I didn’t quite understand what separates me from my guy friends. Damn.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Couple of my best trans men friends are also big into wolves.

[@gene7836]

I didn't even realize this was a trans thing. I just started writing a werewolf book.

[@embelslishments]

I typed "Is Floria" and got: Is florida a state? Is florida in the US? Is florida in california? Nice

[@cassidybrewer]

floria lundon "is Florida in California?" 😂

[@Raya-xw5ud]

😂😂 I'm dead

[@Ari_C]

floria lundon I literally misread your initial "Is Floria" as "Is Florida" 😂

[@mymarkis666]

Probably foreigners asking those questions.

[@embelslishments]

Raegus I'm from the UK so my results are from the UK and... I'm confused because I know those questions would be laughed at here 😂 although I do have a London-centric viewpoint so maybe not!

[@GLAASJEMELC]

You see , since Buzzfeed has spent years doing a more shallow version of MY series, Will It Waffle?, I thought I might as well do a more shallow version of THEIR video Excuse me Jackson, could you pass the salt please

[@Crow3ater]

LMAO

[@shannonwalls7573]

"Is Shannon a guy's name?" Yup, especially in Ireland apparently

[@elsaandersson8410]

Well, my full name gave me nothing, so I got "is Elsa gay". Wonderful. And I can assure you that yes, yes she is.

[@cassandragidney7682]

A big part of why I liked mermaids when I was little because of The Little Mermaid. What she goes through, how she wishes to identify, and the reaction from her father. I didn't understand all this at the time but as I started transitioning I realized that was why I loved the movie so much.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Yeah, I feel like this point should be as obvious as why trans people also tend to like: Mulan, He-Man, She-Ra, Transformers, Animorphs (Tobias is enby, prove me wrong) and other transformation related media. Turns out the idea of being more than meets the eye literally applies to those of us who are hiding ourselves.

[@gene7836]

@@SylviaRustyFae yeah! Mulan!!!!

[@BenLanghinrichs]

"Is Ben Langhinrichs married" is the only choice. The answer is Yes. If you were asking wistfully, I am sorry. If you were disbelieving, let me assure you she is a lovely person and absolutely real. If you were just curious, now you know and thanks for asking.

[@myrkflinn4331]

LOL the 'how to dry your hands' TED talk is my fav ted talk XD I loved Jackson's reaction hahaha

When I google "Is Karen," all the suggested questions are asking if other celebrities named Karen are married or alive 😆 I loved this video!

[@katieanne1361]

Karen Kavett DIY same but I goggle “is Katie”

[@finntheace6205]

"Is Finn a Jedi" maybe maybe not you don't know

[@GrumpSupport]

On the phase thing, I heard this really cool reply to it. "It could be a phase. But the thing is, the moon has phases, but after it all, it's still the moon." Love this video, totally subscribed! I'm a transguy myself, and I haven't been able to get any help living abroad with no benefits. But some day, hopefully!

[@dakota4290]

it never fails to amaze me how any mention of the word transgender makes cis people forget what an adjective is

[@mart4797]

I just want to say, the way you handled these questions was both entertaining and very informative, so thank you! I loved this video!

[@elvirastahlbrand473]

The google search resulted in a question if I am dead, a vampire, a witch or a drag queen, so I think my work here is done xD

[@Whitney_Sews]

Googled my first and last name and got nothing. So I tried my youtube name and got "is Whitney Sews legit" yes, I'm too legit to quit 😆

[@SynfullyCute]

Could it be that trans girls or trans people like mermaids cause of the Little Mermaid? Since she wants to be human but she's a mermaid and she transitions to human in the end?

[@ashtonian8293]

I was literally drawing a wolf as you said "trans guys like wolves." 😂

[@RagingThroughSpace]

"Is Jude the brother of Jesus" Sure, he had bottom bunk growing up.

[@kromeriffic978]

I got "Is Sebastian a crab," followed by "is Sebastian Stan single," so that was a ride.

[@cidevant002]

I think I need to start searching how other trans people go to the bathroom because I always went, conquered a tiny world inside my toothpaste, pick a war with Ireland, make breakfast even if is dinner time and go take a drink with a bear everytime I go to the bathroom as a trans person. I thought everyone did that.

[@jackisnotabird]

I used to do that too! Except drinking with the bear. But yeah, I think everyone uses this method at one point or another.

[@MaxWell-fi7rc]

Yeah every time I use a bathroom I kick in every stall, play the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy, and dance on the counter. Sometimes I bring in my skateboard, but not always.

[@unused.dontgohere.9564]

Oh, I do something similar. I read a book, go to narnia, fight a gremlin, start a garden, and go to the bathroom after all that. Fun times :)

[@devent10n]

"trans boys like wolves" Can confirm, was obsessed with wolves until... Forever

[@gabeangel8104]

As far as the hereditary question, my grandmother got dementia shortly before I came out as trans. It is one of my greatest regrets that by the time I was ready to come out she was not capable of understanding so I have never been able to talk to her about it. Interestingly though, my mother has told me that, as the dementia has got worse, my grandmother has said several things that have suggested that she may have been transgender herself if it had been more understood and accepted back when she was younger, and that she may have felt a kinship with me in that way even though I was never able to come out to her. This is actually a large part of what has helped my mum to become more accepting of my transition actually. Anyway, this has made me think that there may be a hereditary factor in being transgender.

[@katiemossi5975]

This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. I really enjoyed it! As a cis person, I sometimes feel like trans people get offended by certain questions even being asked (especially about sex!). I so appreciate the way you handled these questions. Some of us are just curious and not perverts, and simply want to learn and be educated. You’re super handsome and I will be watching more of your videos!

[@thealien9539]

"Is Tye a scrabble word?" my answer- *sinister mystery laugh while backing away slowly* *fails to see the large hole in ground and falls in* *continued sinister laughing*

[@Jesscorpio]

When I typed in my full name the only suggestion was “is Jessica ****** married.” The answer is no, but if there’s any ladies out there that want to eventually change that hit me up

[@lydiabateman7742]

When I type "is Lydia...", Google autofills with "Is Lydia essential?". Apparently there's an Elder Scrolls character named Lydia.

[@sethn5217]

Yes, and she always steps on the pressure plates in dungeons and gets herself killed.

[@MossyBear]

By default, Skyrim Lydia is not set to essential and will die and it can be very sad because she's accident-prone. She's also one of the first companions you can have if you're just following along with the plot. PC players can alter that, and I'm sure there's mods to change it for the other platforms.

[@blanchekuznetsov7975]

Ugh Lydia from Skyrim succccckkkksss

[@yeeeety6730]

Oh Lydia the worst character, she is not essential

[@DillonExner]

Or they’re talking about Lydia from ODaaT, in which case, YES.
