When I came out as trans, my very catholic grandma was super accepting. A few days later she called my mum, saying that she had told one of my aunts "Oh, (deadname) is transgender, his name is Benedikt now" and my aunt straight up told her "No, you're imagining that, you're making it up, your dementia is showing" So my grandma called my mum to ask if she had just imagined it, and when my mum said "No, he's trans", she was like "But why did Christa get so angry when I told her? I don't understand why she didn't want to believe me. If I had said (deadname) is studying at university now, or has a boyfriend, she wouldn't have said I imagined that! But she just wouldn't believe me that he's a boy now. Why would I make that up, I didn't even know that was possible before he told me!" My grandma was great, sadly, she did develop dementia and the last time I saw her before her death, she didn't remember who I was. But I have my memories of her.

I'm really sorry to hear she passed, but that's such a sweet story of her! My great grandma has really bad dementia, and she never met the real me, just (deadname). I know she'd accept me, but unfortunately her mind is too far gone. I also can't see her anymore because she doesn't recognize me this far into my transition, but I still talk to her on the phone. Sometimes she remembers me as an adult, but other times she thinks I'm a child because I was staying at my grandma's house during top surgery recovery. Dementia is a bitch...

I'm not trans but when I came out as asexual (and eventually aromantic too). My family was supportive but my grandfather never said anything or seemed to acknowledge it. One day he was out with my mom and he ran into someone and they ended up talking about me being aroace and my mother said the person said something about me being weird and how I should be married, and my grandfather immediately told that person to 'eff off' she'll do what she wants, she's my granddaughter and walked off with my mom in hand. He never mentioned it and I wouldn't have known had my mom not been there and it just made me so happy to know that he cared and would defend me

That's awesome!

My grandma, who I live with, is really accepting of my gender non-conformity. When I wanted a hysterectomy to alleviate gender dysphoria, she took me and was willing to help me pay if insurance didn't cover it all. When I try to explain my gender she goes "I don't fully get it, but that's okay" (but when I specifically explain the disconnect and masquerading of femininity she goes "yeah, that's just how that feels"- who is gonna tell her?) And I love her. I think part of the reason she gets it (other than the fact that I think she may have identified similarly if she were born now) is because I have a lesbian-identified great aunt who she is very close with, and who will occasionally choose to go by the masculine version of their name (so I figure they would probably identify as gender-fluid or gender queer if given the labels and understanding that we have today). Queer people didn't not exist before, and everyone has probably loved a queer person.

I am a middle age gay cis man but I feel so close to the trans community in a way that I can't explain. Your struggles, your strength, the courage to find and build yourselves no matter what you are repeatedly told not to do - it just resonates so deep. Jamie you opened a world to me and made my mind wider and free so that it could embrace it. Thanks forever and ever. Love your hair and this pullover;)

This is a wholesome moment. We can have people accepting bodies they don’t like AND people accepting that they don’t like their bodies. Breaking down the idea that there is only *one* answer that everyone has to live by actually helps *everyone*

9:18 - Honestly, I can relate to this. My "moment" was when I was 10 years old and some boy I barely knew in the year above me at school decided to tease me by randomly asking when I was going to get a sex change. I didn't even know what a sex change was until I asked one of the teachers who told me that it would mean me "becoming a boy"...and I realised I was rather happy and relieved at the idea that there was a way for me to "become a boy" (which I'm fairly sure freaked the teacher out even more than me randomly asking her what a sex change was). To this day 16 years later, I still occasionally whether that boy was actually aware of how accurate he was with his attempt at insulting me...

I love the wholesome grandparent ones! When I told my g-ma that I changed my name, I learned that she kept a file folder for all of her grandchildren and kept all of our holiday cards and thank you notes in it... anyway I learned that because she told me that she immediately updated my name on the folder! She was such an amazing ally and I miss her very much. Meanwhile, nearly 10 years on my mum still has me in her phone under my dead name 🙄

Not trans-related, and only kind of queer-related, but I sent out last year's Christmas cards with my preferred title of Ms on the return labels, in part because I have some aunts who keep sending Christmas cards to "Miss Erin K". My grandpa's card subsequently came addressed to "Ms Erin", but either none of the aunts got the hint or they addressed theirs before they saw mine. (I say kind of queer-related, because while I am an Ace Lesbian, a theoretical straight version of me could be having the same issue)

9:19 Yes! I remember something like this happened. I'm transmasc and on our last day of primary school, we went around having our friends sign our shirts. One of my friends wrote "Good luck sir!" on my shirt as a joke and it made me so happy for reasons I didn't understand.

ahhh a fellow demiboy 😍 all the love to u❤🤗

At school the bullies called me "Wonder Woman". Turns out they were right

I love supportive grandparents

Dylan is so joyful about being a girl and woman it's so lovely to watch her 💖💖 glad she got a showcase here

My boyfriend is a trans man, and he is fairly short (5' 3" tall), but as I am only two inches taller than him, his height is one of the first things about him that I found attractive. 🥰 He also would like to carry a baby. At first, I was, like, "I didn't expect that . . ." but now I think it's really cool! I never thought that as a gay man I would be able to have a child with a boyfriend! 😁

I've been watching you for years, and I have ever shown my mom your videos and she loves them. You have helped me throughout so many years, I just recently got top surgery- and I genuinely don't know where I'd be in my transition without seeing you put yourself out there and I just wanted to thank you.

I've been out for years and have loads of tips and tricks for ftms but I know very little about mtfs, and a member of my family recently came out as mtf so I actually found the tucking tape info really helpful and informative. And tbh I loved the fact she said you don't have to tuck , because alot of younger trans people feel like they need to do specific things to pass and in my experience just do what makes you comfortable ♡ Also im a twin and growing up my sister was always like "dead name is gonna be a boy when she's older." Turns out she was right lol.

Bigender here! I definitely had one of those things in the past that just makes sense later on. I've always preferred to sit whenever I have to pee (I'm AMAB). It just seemed more natural. I remember being kinda surprised to hear that some people would stand, even in the stalls where they could sit if they wanted. Now, of course, I'm pretty sure that at least one of the reasons I prefer to sit is that my ideal body would have different genitals. Not different hormone-based sex-characteristics; I like my beard and my voice quite a lot, and the male part of me still very much exists. But the female part of me would probably be happier with a vagina, uterus, and breasts. (I say this as if they're two separate parts of me, but that's really just for convenience's sake. I'm not half male and half female; I'm fully both. It's just some specific feelings align more with what might be expected of one gender than the other.)

Hey hey! Another lovely video, Jamie! I've also got a moment where the people in my class were right(ish). So, I was in first grade, and because it was a private school with uniforms, we needed either black or white sneakers for gym. My mom buys me some black shoes and all is fine and dandy until it's gym time at school. The girls look at my shoes and my (supposed) best friend said, "You can't wear those." I asked, "why not?" and she replied with "because they're boy shoes, not girl shoes!" And I was just confused and bothered because all the boys had black shoes and all the girls had white shoes. And then later on, I realized I was, in fact, not a girl, but I'm agender so like... partial credit.

It's interesting seeing pregnant fathers. I can't think of that gentleman as anything other than a gentleman because that's what he IS even though he is pregnant. The pregnancy does not stop me from seeing a man. I'm so happy he had a successful pregnancy and I hope he and his new little one have many wonderful dad adventures.

Same. I've stopped thinking about gender as a linear spectrum and more as a vortex of infinite chaos, with lack of gender I guess being the eye of the storm. Personally I like the label genderfae, it sounds soft and mystical and it describes me pretty well as someone who is not masculine at all but not 100% connected to femininity (demigirl is similar, but doesn't sound as cool imo). Idk if this helps, I just like sharing whenever I find a new gender. I hope your gendering works out, lots of love to you human ❤️

@@Luna-jk5mu Aw, I didn’t see this until today but thank you for sharing! Unfortunately my Gender Things have less to do with my actual identity and more to do with my expression and openness about it with the people in my life, but I’ve been feeling better about it recently. I haven’t really found a niche gender label I vibe with; neutrois is the closest I’ve gotten, which is basically gender neutral, but I like to describe myself as genderqueer because (if this doesn’t sound too pretentious) I like to think that my gender identity queers the concept of gender in the first place. I don’t like “nonbinary” for myself bc to me it feels like I’m defining my gender with respect to the fact that there /is/ a binary in the first place. Thank you again for the kind reply, and good luck on your own gender journey!

I just met up with an old friend from highschool. Its been about 4 years since I last saw them in University. At any rate, they came out to me as trans. They are still not sure about the whole process. They want to start the process. i hope all goes well for them. I am rooting for them. They haven’t asked for a change of pronouns or name yet. I can’t wait for the day they feel happy.

This entire video made me super happy. I'm not trans, but seeing so many happy people and so much acceptance made me giddy. And seeing Dylan's video made me really glad that young trans fem people have somebody to explain these things 💜 (I recognize that there's probably many more people out there that provide the same info, and that trans fem people probably already know, but still, I'm glad). If I could describe my mood in one word right now, it would be HAPPY. Thank you so much for all your videos and for teaching this AroAce dummy a little more about the community as a whole. 💜😄💜😄💜😄💜 Edited because I can't spell lol

my mom posted a transparent joke on facebook to tell my family, (she asked me before hand) but she found it so funny that I couldn’t say no, and she got so excited when I said she could, definitely something I won’t forget.

I just got approved for T, just got to get my blood work done first! I am so happy to be starting my journey at long last! Unfortunately my family isn't going to be coming with me as they completely ghosted me when i can out and are refusing to apologize.

1. You will find your Logical Family to replace your bioillogical one. 2. Cis gay guy here: we didn't get all of the secondary-sex-characteristics the moment we hit puberty. Takes, oh, 4-6 years before they're all in place. And even then, not all cis men have the same amount or thickness of body & facial hair, or voices of the same deepness, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera … Also, if it takes 10 years of T before you can grow a nice beard, *_there is nothing wrong with you!!!!!!_* Lots of cis-men - like me - couldn't grow a decent beard until our 30s. Hell, I didn't need to shave every single day until I was in my 40s! Before then, I didn't get a 5-o'clock shadow so much as a "11am-the-next-day shadow". 😆   And I repeat: I am cis. So any time you start getting down because you're not "changing fast enough," just remember how long it takes puberty to do its magic on cis-guys. And then you'll realize that everything is really happening Right On Schedule.

I love knowing that this stuff is up on tiktok.

I'm glad the platform I know many of them are on has content they can find that's affirming, and just so sweet. (The grandmother at the end, and the starter grandpa! 🥺💜)

You know what with the height thing I never realized till then (I'm mtf btw), I was always super short pre transition but now my track mates have literally said I'm exactly average height. Now with a grain of salt as I was real young pre (social) transition, transitioning summer rising to 4th grade. (thankfully, though my mom was literally one of the 4 main people in a movie about trans military members, so not necessarily surprising) So it could just be height changes from aging being timed weird, either way interesting

In case you too watched Dylan's tik tok and knew you'd seen her before but you couldn't remember where, they've been on the channel before in the (Trans) Gender Reveals video.

I just did my name reveal using a kahoot! AT MY SCHOOL! (We have a rainbow club and the teachers who host it let me use the room for my name reveal) My friends know I’m genderfluid and I told them I found a new name and they were really excited and eager to find out! They were waiting for a whole week (because I wanted to do the name reveal Kahoot! on and were very excited when the day came. I brought like 4 packs of gummies and my friends brought some food as well and the battle was on, and my half crush won the kahoot, they must either be really good at guessing or just know me well- I ran up to them and gave them a massive hug after my other half crush hug-tackled me on to the floor. It was super fun and I’m really glad that my friends and I got to enjoy it, instead of rumours being spread without my will.

This has brightened my day! I needed some refreshing wholesomeness from the most wholesome channel

Im currently going to an all girls school as a transmasc, school's pretty invalidating and dysphoric at times but seeing you made it out and became such an inspiration is really awesome!:)

About the grandad taking down pre transition fotos, I’ve always felt uncomfortable and have told my mother that I don’t really appreciate fotos of younger me and she hasn’t ever taken them down, I never knew that it was sort of a transfobic thing, I’m glad I know now.
