The "why are you in a wheelchair if you can walk" question is similar to "why do you drive a bike/car if you can walk". Because you can't walk *that distance* (aside from other reasons of course).

My sister had Neurofibromatosis and people used to constantly whisper, stare, and point. Kids would stare and my sister always said, "I'd feel better if you asked about how I look instead of assuming or being afraid". She died in 2017 but she was a big believer in "ask if you're uncertain, don't assume or bully. No question is dumb or rude if the question comes from a place of seeking knowledge and understanding."

“Your disability that is humongous petty coats” 😂😂😂

"yeah with the disability of like humongous petticoats" 💀🤣 I was not expecting that level of shade from Claud but so appreciated! Watched it three times!!! 🤣

I'm really happy you found your Claudia. Now where do I get one of those

"were you just getting girls to touch you?" 😂😂 That's a big mood

Claudia: "We're a married couple, we can kiss! What were you thinking about?" Jess: "Nothing O_O" XD So wholesome

Claud's voice IS more monotone than the average I would say, indeed! But contrary to her qualifying it as boring, I find it very soothing.

**CAPTIONS CURRENTLY SYNCING** Thank you so much for watching and asking the questions 😉xxxx

Oh my... 😂 😂 😂 I just imagined how tactile braille with lips would work out and about when Jess is always wearing lipstick - there would be traces of her all over Brighton😂😂😂💄

So you're telling me Claudia's cheekbones look like this without makeup?? Gosh, I'm so jealous. P.s. These vlogmas videos are seriously blessings, you guys have the kind of relationship I've always dreamed of 🥺

"Why do you dress like that?" ....only mildly disappointed that petticoats breaking falls wasn't part of the reason. (because they SO DO)

Can we please make a distinction bw asking an influencer online, who is an advocate and educator these rude questions and having an answer and asking a stranger in real life. Asking rude questions to Jessica is fine. Demanding someone in the street or someone you kind of know through work these questions isn't great, and if they don't want to talk about it they aren't being closed minded they just don't want to talk to an ass hole about private matters. Please don't use the fact that she said she will be open minded, will answer these questions and is happy to answer questions, as a way to prove that anyone who doesn't answer calmly and in detail the way you want them to about extremely sensitive info is being bad and closed minded. It is not the job of strangers to educate you, it is part of advocates and educators job, and your job is to not be needlessly cruel to strangers, look it up online later. I recently had someone say I didn't have a right to mad that a complete stranger w/out any permission grabbed my tit bc they wanted to know how well binders had worked, and it is was my job to educate them in detail. And I know that so many people will take her saying that she likes answering questions as a way to educate and be open minded, and apply it to everyone, so if anyone doesn't answer questions, or say it isn't their job to educate is bad. I'm not saying that jessica is bad for saying it, I just know that someone will take it that way, and I gotta nip that in the bud.

I always reply to what’s wrong with you with do you want the history in chronological order, alphabetical or by what effects me most

I think the rudest thing Ive been asked when people find out there's something wrong with me is "Your boyfriend is so active why on earth is he dating you!?

wooo thanks for the plug you legends!! also, I may have to copy this video idea :P

The non-family friends moments in this really made me smile.

To Claudia's point that "as a child you must ask why am I sick all the time?" Only speaking from my personal experience I feel like as a kid I didn't really realise that I was sick more than other people. The only colds I've ever had last at least a month, frequently all winter long, and included bronchitis and strep throat. It wasn't until I was around 10 that I realised that wasn't "normal." It felt similar to how some kids could run faster, or others were good at drawing, some kids wouldn't get sick as often.

the part about talking into Jessicas shoulder made my heart melt tho

I started watching this video almost 3 hours ago, but because of all the references to other videos I kept getting sidetracked lol. So i ended up (happily) watching about 6 or 7 of your other videos as I watched this one! Enjoyed all of them!

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few days ago and I've just been binge watching Jess and Claud to remind myself that even with a chronic illness, I can still live a happy and fulfilling life

*Family friendly, family friendly* oh I'm dying 😂😂

Your videos really helped me understand how to adapt myself to my gf's illnesses! Thank you so much, for the positivity, for the wlw goals, for the gayness and for the information! I hope you continue to inform us a lot in 2020!

Claudia not understanding the question on infantilization warmed my heart more than anything could have. What a star human, honestly. Just A+.

*grabs popcorn and settles in for the absolute fuckery*

December has been a really stressful month, But knowing that you’re going to have a video every day has been helping me be productive. Thank you so much for being such a beautiful positive force, I hope you have an amazing holiday season!💕💕💕

Claudia's look of bliss every time Jessica strokes her hair 😍😂😂😂

I fully thought tomatoes were potatoes until halfway through elementary school so I GET IT, CLAUDIA

"yeah, the disability of giant peticoats" Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, Claud going for the throat here :P

"It doesn't feel like that to me" brings it home as someone with chronic disability it always feels like you aren't doing enough so you push yourself to hard

"Because it makes me happy." Best answer ever. Well done.

I have a cronic disease. I have zero immune system. 70% of your immune system is in your intestines, and ive had 60% of mine surgically removed. I have crohn's disease which is an autoimmune disease so im prone to ALL autoimmune diseases. Ive developed rheumatoid arthritis and several others. And all have become allergic to every "used" medication theyve tried. I look "normal" but im far from. Even my family are whats wrong with you. Why dont you do this? Or that? Or the other? I get so tired of it. So God bless you. Cronic illness is something you cant see. But its still there.

You two are so funny together! My favorite part is that you are best friends and mutually admire and respect each other. And I think it’s rude and disrespectful to ask anything about intimate or personal things (like sex or going to the toilet), and I’m impressed at how gracious you were about answering those questions. It’s nobody’s business.

Watching this video AFTER the pregnancy announcement and Jess's video about their struggle to get pregnant was a little heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Love you both so much x

Claudia is such an amazing and beautiful soul. Everyone needs Claudia in their live . Sending you both much ( love

Primolut N isn't a birth control but it is period control, it stops the lining of your uterus from forming so you don't bleed. It's been amazing for controling my period related hEDS symptoms.

About the question at 10:49: I remember Jessica mentioning this in an older video... When Jessica was 18 (I believe), she was sad about a breakup. Her father took her to a Collectif clothing shop (a rather pricy vintage clothing store), and told her she could pick any two outfits/items that she likes and he would buy it for her. It was there that Jessica realized she has always loved the vintage style and it is what she feels her best in.

The way you look at Claudia so intensely while lipreading (I think) is so beautiful. I hope the people I love look at me that way too :) Also, I've always thought Claudia's voice is lovely and quite soothing.

I have so needed to hear you talk about some of the more personal bits of your disabilities Jess, it's so isolating to think you're the only one dealing with certain issues. Especially when, clearly you're not the only one, but it feels that way some days no matter how much you tell yourself that you're not alone in this. Thanks so much for all you do!

I want this quality of a relationship. Wow, y’all are so sweet

Getting an IUD has been a life changer. It was the last option we tried before considering a hysterectomy.

Claudia doesn't need make-up, which is totally unfair, she is totally gorgeous as is 🙂 not flirting just stating the obvious

I'm so glad you answered the question about using a wheelchair when you can walk some! My partner uses a wheelchair because he has cerebral palsy, but he can "walk" quite a bit, though only on his knees. His legs do not extend all the way and are locked at a nearly 90 degree angle at the knee, so his knees are very callused like feet and he never uses the wheelchair at home or in other people's homes - only in public. It often freaks people out who aren't expecting it when he descends to the floor and starts shuffling around after they've only known him to use the chair. Disabilities can look like anything! All people learn the best and most efficient ways to survive and navigate the world around them! Sometimes wheelchairs are useful for very specific situations only. :)

With the "infantilising" question, I think it probablh helps that mentally Jessica is still the same as any other adult. My Mum had an early onset form of dementia called FTD that changed her personality and it did change the mother daughter dynamic quite a bit

I had to pause at the petticoats joke because I was laughing too hard! Lol! Now I'm thinking about my difficulties with either spanx or a corset or girdle etc. on and yup when I wear petticoats it's a huge issue going to the bathroom! 😂😂😂💜🥄💜

You two crack me up😂! You sound like my husband & I, where we make jabs at each other & are just playing around, yet others think we are being mean to each other! Sometimes I wonder..."Are people so used to seeing drama & arguments on television, they have forgotten to pay attention to others body language & only focus on the words"? If we are laughing so hard that we’re trying to catch our breath...there is probably not an issue there🤷🏼‍♀️! It makes me sad that there are people who see every action as negative, I always wonder if they see things that way b/c their home life is a negative place instead of a warm, happy & safe place. Hopefully they find joy in something, it doesn’t have to be a big deal! You two bantering & laughing makes my heart warm, what is better than seeing or hearing people who love each other enjoying each other’s company? Sending my love 🤗💜🦋😘🐾🐾

You guys inspired me to get up and have a shower and sort myself out. And tomorrow I'm determined to get out of the house with my little boy and go to the shop or the park or something. Thank you. X

They're so perfect for each other and they're both so gorgeous oml

You two are so cute, it makes me so hopeful for when i have a wife someday 😭❤️

Ladies, i really love your personalities! It‘s so wonderful to know, open minded and heartful people like you exist and resist this world! ❤️

Seriously, before the 'voice' question, I was thinking how much I like Claudia's voice. I think she has a very nice voice.

The thing claudia was talking about with accidentally swapping letters when you're speaking is called a Spoonerism!!!!

Not to be rude, but people can be so rude sometimes. 😂 In all seriousness, Claudia is that gorgeous and she’s not wearing makeup? I am jealous as hell! And I love the way you dress Jessica! It’s not my style, but it suits you! Everyone has their own style and that’s a beautiful thing. 😊

I've never watched your videos before, but your Frequently Asked Questions video was on my recommend so now I've been binge watching your channel and I just need you to know that you are possibly the most lovely person I've ever seen. You're so sweet, your voice is beautiful, and I love your personality! You are a brilliant human being!

Claudia talking about helping her dying mother touched my heart so much.

You two should start a podcast! You have the most soothing voices

Jessica's other disability: "THOSE HUGE PETTICOATS!"

I'm having a very slow paced but productive day and your videos always make me feel less alone about not always having the energy to like gogogogogogogo you know? And they make me smile because you two are so fun

Jessicas comment about Claudia constantly fadcinating her is the most pure and loving thing ive ever heard!

Vlogmas is dangerous. I seem to have gotten into the habit of watching Jess first thing every morning. Wake up. Meditate. Feel depressed. Jessica’s Vlogmas!! What will I do when it’s over? 😳

You two are absolutely adorable! 😂 Claudia especially. I wish she was my friend. She is so genuine.

I absolutely love your videos!! And you are right it is all about finding the right person. When I am down on myself because I had a bad day and didn't get what I wanted to done because I simply couldn't. My husband always reminds me to make allowances for my bad days and not be so hard on myself.

YES! Thank you for bringing up the whole using-a-wheelchair-even-though-you-can-walk issue! 💖 I always feel so self conscious in my chair and almost as if I need to pretend that I can’t walk just because it’s easier for people to fathom. Having more people understand that wheelchairs aren’t just for paralysed people is so important! It’s truly been a life saver with my CFS, because now I can actually participate in larger outings every now and then :’)💕

My uncle is 44 and has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair and sooo many people baby him. He also has been asked how long he’s got left as if he’s dying??? (He can’t speak so either my nanna, granda or one of his carers have to correct the person)

Jessica: Family Friendly! Claudia: I was, what was you talking about? Jessica: :>

Woah woah wait you have EDS? Was your MCTD dx changed to EDS? I also have EDS(#3) and started watching your channel during your Malaysia trips and was AMAZED at how manageable you made traveling look while having a connective tissue issue. I kind of saw you as my disability cousin from across the pond, but were disability twinsies!!!!! (I too am a vintage loving, lgbt, red haired Jessica)

I love you and Claudia’s dynamic. There’s so much love in here. And proof that disabilities are no hinge to a strong bond. Continue being so amazing, both of you, and for each other. ❤️

The videos of when you aren't feeling well are some of my biggest comforts. The one you filmed while you had a migraine, I still rewatch a lot. It's very very helpful. ♥♥

Braille is difficult. They start you out with training your fingers. I agree with Jessica. Check out to see if you can read Braille the next time you see some.

When you both do videos together my heart just melts!

I love watching your videos! Vlogmas has been so great. on my bad days when I literally feel like staying in one spot all day due to my chronic illnesses, your videos and Instagram posts always make me feel so much less alone and give me the motivation to make the most out of the day

These vlogmas videos have been a blessing. Through out the last month with my new diagnosis I’ve been a bit down and unwell. Watching you makes me feel so much more motivated to do things. Love you Jessica xxx

The petticoat disability made me laugh so hard! I love those little moments between you two ❤️. So adorable and pure. Take care-happy holidays 🎄🥳

I wish you guys knew how much you inspire me, your relationship is beautiful 💖💖💖

Thank you for continuing these videos. I suffer from various chronic illnesses and you always lift me up on my worst days. Keep spreading your optimism to the world 🖤 we need it.

Jessica, thank you for making your videos, they inspire me and give me hope that someday i'll meet my special someone, and if I dont I know thats ok too. Your positivity is so immense its seems to spread to people all around you and I love watching your videos because they make December more bearable. So thank you!

I do the same thing with my clothes, I have my own bold style and love sparkly makeup. Usually it’s that people see first instead of the health issues I have.

I wish you and Molly Burke would do a collab someday that must be so fun and interesting!

I loved this vlog. I have a chronic illness myself, and you give me so much comfort and wisdom. Also I love that you are so full of light, have a wonderful sense of humour and are so brave. You don't complain, you explain. You and Claudia have a sweet but also very real relationship. Thank you so much!!

Watching videos with you two together always makes me smile. You seem like such wonderful people ❤️

I absolutely adore Claud’s voice. It’s soothing.

I always miss out on asking these things as I never see them....one day I'll get there!

Thank you so very much for having your channel. it’s people like you who publicly discussed the disorder like eds and pots that make people like me who secretly suffer from it feel a lot better existing in this world. Thank you for sharing you give me hope that I’ll find that special one as well.

Thank you for the video Jessica and Claudia. It is always so wonderful to see you together in videos. Watching you both just makes me smile and believe that people can be good and kind to one another.

My ex infantalised me and i hated it so much!!! I was after a surgery and in pain. I didn't want 50 kisses on my cheek... He was very confused and helpless...

Claudia's voice is super soothing!

I never tire of watching your videos. Especially love the ones with Claud in them too. This has been a great Vlogmas so far.

I think asking questions is fantastic. It means people usually have a desire to be informed and informed is ALWAYS better than ignorance. The questions are a wonderful opportunity for you to educate and enlighten others!

At 17:47 When Claudia compliments Jessica, Jessica takes it in, seriously, no laughs, just a calm thank you. OH, and for others : A dummy is a pacifier. Your welcome. lol

Great daily Jessica content leading up Christmas. It's especially making things easier for my first Christmas after my uncle's death. (Sorry if that's really depressing, but I'm just so thankful for Jessica's content.)

Both of you are lovely people! Thank you for being genuine, honest, and transparent. Enjoy watching your KZfaq channel.

"With the disability of humongous petticoats" 😂😂😂love that

Again! You and Claudia are so good together. And hilarious people 🤣❤️

Anyone else just love Claud 🥰❤️😍

I have so much for you both! My favourite videos are thd ones with Claudia in them. Always makes my day ❤️❤️

The more Claudia talks, the more respect I have for her. You both are so awesome and I love your videos!!

"well we can kiss we're a married couple" "oh yes- of course... sorry" "what else were you talking about" "n-nothing" "oh" *both looks straight at the camera*

That ending gave me the feels! For some reason, Jessica reminded me of my childhood neighbour who would always say "Y'all come back now, ya hear?" In the sweetest and most meaningful tone every time we had to leave.

Not sure why your channel popped into my suggestions, but I'm glad it was! I love seeing the way the two of you interact with one another.

i’m kinda new but you feel like my moms who are sitting me down to make sure that i’m knowledgeable on life and i love and appreciate it
