Good news: I now have trans friends!!!!!!!!

I am a hotel front desk agent. What happened to Sasha is UNACCEPTABLE. The SOP is to ask the room number and the name on the reservation. If they can give you both pieces of information, you apologize and re-do the key. The magnetics in the hotel keys are infamous for needing to be redone constantly. I am so glad I work at a hotel that is inclusive and has great staff. On a more positive story to share- I checked 2 older gentlemen into the hotel yesterday. I thanked him for being a rewards member and if they would both like a complimentary bottle of water. His partner looked at him and was like, "You never told me you were a rewards member before we got married?!?!?" and I said, "yeah the perks you find out after you get married am I right." They were both laughing and they went down the hallway and attempted to get into the elevator for a ground floor room....and all I heard was ..."what room do we have?"- "Oh, I don't know..." I told them their room was to the right on the ground floor. His partner just said..."no, no. You should have let him get in the elevator. It would have been funny when the doors closed and I held the room number up to him." They were so funny and adorable. Edit: Ya'll so wholesome in this community right here! Proud of all of you.

Sasha in America is generally pretty often seen as feminine, but it is definitely a gender neutral name. Funnily enough, in Germany, it's considered a very masculine name. Funny how that stuff changes depending on the country?

Sasha is definitely a gender-neutral name, although it's more commonly used for males in Russia. Fun fact: the Animal Crossing community learned this the hard way when Nintendo added an adorable bunny rabbit with big eyes and eyelashes named Sasha, and then Sasha's bio was all "HE likes hanging out in HIS room" and he had one of the male personality types 😂 and that's how we learned that Sasha is also a boy's name and that gender identity =/= gender expression!

Realized I was non binary last summer and chose to cut off all my hair. My mother kept protesting because she claimed it would "make me look like a boy" and only ended up agreeing to take me because I said I would donate it. She was the first person to tell me how much she liked my short hair. In short, people don't know what they're talking about with stupid gender stereotypes. Just do what you want.

Do you ever noticed how the transphobic or homophobic bullies always turn out to be thirsty for you when you get older? Funny how that works🤔

It will never cease to amaze me seeing trans people’s before and after photos. There’s always a night and day difference in happiness and confidence. I will never understand how transphobes can look at the pure joy transitioning brings to people and still think it’s “wrong”

Sasha is a weird name. There's parts of the world where it's aggressively male (short for Alexander), parts of the world where it's aggressively female (version of Sarah) and parts where it's both. Whenever any geological Sasha region crosses, chaos ensues.

I think I figured out the Trans Mission 1)Be yourself 2) Be nice 3)Talk about dinosaurs 4)Make sure everyone has a shark plushy Optional 5 for transfemme) skirt go spinny.

The fact that in the hotel story NO ONE tried to confirm who he was just floors me

“Do I want pockets?” The best thing I heard today.

"Sasha" is a perfectly acceptable Russian diminutive for Alexander, but can also be used as a girl's name. I see it like Lee or Jordan...very adaptable and gender-neutral.

That first TikTok 0:01 was made by my partner!! ❤️ Thank you for reacting to their content! It means so much coming from such an amazing creator like you! ✨🫶🏼

one of the kids (5 years old) at a summer camp i was working at over the summer saw me in the girls bathroom and was like "you can't come in here!" and I was like, "Why not?" and she goes "You're a boy! You have to go in the boy room!" As a FTM person not out in that space, it meant a lot to me :)

THE POWER OF POCKETS! Also ive noticed its harder (for me at least) to find trans positive tiktoks

I'm a cisgender woman and have a gender neutral name and frequently companies will call asking to speak to "Mr ... " I think it happens a lot regardless of your gender or wether you are trans or cis. But I can only imagine that it must feel that much more uncomfortable for many trans people. Makes me mad as hell when I hear adults telling children in shops to "PUT THAT BACK! That's for girls/boys" arrrrrggghh. My kid has been just given clothes and toys of any and all colours since she was born. I've seen parenting 2nd hand sales where the toys and clothes were separated into BOYS and GIRLS on separate tables. Each time I've seen this i've gotten mad enough to have the conversation with the person/charity running the sales about why gendering toys and clothes for kids is not ok. It's never ok. Roll on the day when shops stop doing this too!

I relate so badly at the hair cutting tiktok As a child I was soooo afraid of hairdressers (due to sensory issues not being catered to in such environments) I had extremely long hair and I hated it because dysphoria When I finally decided to cut it all off I had so many people telling me I was going to regret it. I had one person who was actively disgusted that I'd cut off all my hair I don't regret my choice I love my short hair

To trans masc people out there who have or will experience a top surgery reveal that feels traumatic, it's okay. We see the videos where the chests look great, huge smiles, tears of joy. And that's lovely. But it is not everyone's experience. I had my reveal and honestly felt nauseated and this feeling of, "Oh shit. Have I made a horrible mistake?!?" I told myself, give it a month. Don't panic, look as little as possible, and maybe it will be alright. And of course it was. Beyond the physical aspect of bruises, swelling, open incisions, and let's just say scary looking nipples, there is a huge jolt to the brain. You've lost body parts. It's going to take your mind some time to adjust. I'm two years out from top surgery and have gone from the immediate, "Oh shit" to "Da-amn I love my chest!" I love the look, I love the acars, I love how _me_ it is. -1000 regret. TL;DR If you don't have the happy Tiktok worthy top surgery reveal, don't panic. Give your chest and your brain some time to heal. You _will_ get to a point of self chest love. The odds are massively in your favour on this.

I like the nice things more than talking about transphobic junk. I get enough transphobia to "entertain" me each day. These are very nice.

I'm a cis-woman. For the past two yesrs I've buzzed my hair down to two milimeters on the regular. Right now I have about 1,5 cm. I've rarely gotten so many compliments from all genders. I HATE the fem/masc stereotypes. I never feel as feminine and cute, as with short hair. Snd this is coming from a women with big, thick, curly and course hair.

as a transmasc, i love watching these videos they honestly give me such gender euphoria even tho ive been going through dysphoria for such a long time, this still gives me hope to keep going and just having to patiently wait till i can start t and get top surgery

I used to work in a bakery and occasionally we'd have cakes that were blue or pink. I *always* asked them (or the kid if they were there) which colour they wanted, and when they'd say 'it's for a boy.' I'd pretend I had no idea what that was meant to imply. My cousin once refused to eat a strawberry cupcake because 'I can't have that, because it's for girls' even though he'd just told me it was his favourite flavour. Let the kids eat cake.

My parents didn’t mind when I wanted to cut my hair, but I’ve been out as nonbinary for almost a year now, and they refuse to use my pronouns and are trying to bribe me into shaving my leg hair. Most recently, they tried to get me to do it by letting me color my hair any one color, which was tempting. I decided that I’d rather keep my bodily autonomy and make my own decisions (and if I want to color my hair, I have a job and can pay for it myself).

I work on a horse farm and one student a couple years ago double-checked with me that her male pony’s pronouns were, in fact, he/him. I told her he hasn’t told us otherwise.

As a nonbinary pansexual person myself I felt VERY seen with the creator who understands my struggles making decisions lmao.🏳️‍⚧️ Great vid as usual!

As someone who is a intersex and is all genders plus no gender, its so beautiful to see different LGBTQIA+ people and their lives. Its like seeing different versions of me getting along, having their own lives and experiences and general happiness. I really wanting to say its what i need and live for ❤❤ it gives me so much joy and i want that for all of you. If you feel like no one in this world loves you or wants you here, i want to let you know i want you here please. You're such beautiful people and the world needs you. I NEED YOU and i hope my words and this video will make you see that 🥰

I am non-binary and keeping my gender neutral birth name. No, I never thought about changing it. If I had that hotel experience I would be hit with waves of disphoria no doubt. Sasha has every right to keep his name and have people respect his pronouns.

As a 14 year old trans femme myself, I can say honestly that it disgusts me how people behave in regards to people like us. I am lucky in the sense that none of my friends and next to none of my family are transphobic -- everyone accepts me for who I am, and either help, or are like "Okay, cool." and get on with their business. This is truly a sign that things are getting better for us; we will finally be able to be who we really are! Keep going, if you're at rock bottom, remember: the only way is up!

I know you said pud is only available for 3 weeks but you should definitely release it again for easter next year..people can just say its holding an easter egg if they don't feel safe coming out. Actually releasing them on easter opens up the opportunity to make more with other lgbt flag eggs while hiding under the disguise of holiday decor so as not to raise suspicion from unaccepting people

Any name can be gender-neutral if you try hard enough.

Sitting here, 4 weeks after bottom surgery (im transfem), loving all the trans joy 😊 Sorry transphobes, you can't touch our glory, we shine bright while you languish in your hate cave 🤘

There's a bunny villager in Animal Crossing called Sasha and he's a boy so I'd say it works for anyone who likes the name and chooses it for themselves. 😊 Meanwhile I named myself after a car part unknowingly(I'm called Axle). I just thought that spelling looked better and didn't realize it was a car part. I will never stop clowning myself for that bc it is pretty funny.

Seeing that person with their new chest made me cry tears of joy.

Unrelated, but I just got told that by me openly supporting someone who is in the process of transitioning, I must also congratulate somebody who suffers from anorexia for losing weight. I may have lost my ever-loving collectible s***. So thank you Jamie for doing what you're doing, and making the videos that you do, because honestly I was in full wrap mode for like 5 minutes and then I realized you made a video and I was able to cool down and watch a video by somebody who actually knows what the f*** they're talking about. So I appreciate you thank you.

OK, last one, I promise. I would love someone to create a book of names, where it collects lots of stories from trans and non-binary folx, talking about their relationship with (first) names and how they came to have the name they do. It feels like such a very intimate, and powerful thing, and I've heard some wonderful stories of the process of choosing a name, be it choosing a new one, or choosing to keep one. I don't know, it feels like one of those "getting to the heart of the human experience" type things.

As a trans guy that was so proud of my waist-long hair, it was so weird to cut it so short for the first time, and I still miss it, now I know it was more to be socially affirming than to ease dysphoria since I'm growing it back out and I do so much to express myself with it I don't mind it being long bc it doesn't change who I am, but I love seeing people's faces when they get a new and better haircut, that joy is overwhelming and wonderful

for the final one: often if you dye an area where hair is shorter or thinner the skin underneath will get dyed too, but it will only last a day or two then it will go back to normal and the hair will stay dyed

Lesson: Always be happy about yourself, even if your on a platform no one likes

Fun fact: In the south eastern U.S. there is a tradition of naming boys Shelby. And then they get misgendered over the phone or via mail all the time, just because people are like "but that's a girls name" and the guys named that be like "Apparently not mother F*er". It's hilarious yet frustrating how people just gender names when it's literally a made up word like LMAO

These videos make my nonbinary heart so happy, especially top surgery reveals. 🥺 Edit: I have a hair story! I had hair down to my butt from when I was little but, at 19, I chopped it to shoulder length then cut it to a more masculine style later on. It was the best decision of my life.

we love some trans positivity

My best friend overwhelmed me with questions yesterday... it was reafirming. She said: Your nephew doesn't understand their own identity, but that doesn't give anyone the right to make them unconfortable, so I need yo understand. Kids deserve to be respected and I want to give them that... heart warming. I won't forget it

Sasha is one of those names that varies a lot by country. As an American who's been to Russia, I'd say it's considered more of a feminine name in the U.S. but in Russia (30 years ago or so) about half the men were named Alexander and called Sasha.

I *adore* when trans fam share their favourite photos. I am a disabled person who has all sorts of complex emotions surround my body, bodily autonomy, the expectations - even demands - of others, most of which science isn't equipped to ameliorate. I don't know if this informs my love of trans joy, but I love it so much, seeing people find comfort and joy in their own skin, is a beautiful, powerful, life-affirming thing. There's a lot of shared love, and mutual support, between the trans and disabled communities, in part - I believe - because society treats us all as though we are broken, incomplete humans who do not fit into the pattern. We are not broken, if society does not encompass all the different ways to be human, then it is society that is broken. Anyway, I started talking about a nice thing, and got ranty and weird - again. There are few things that bring me as much wholehearted joy, as seeing my trans siblings shining with happiness. If anyone reading this is struggling with their body relationship, I am sending you so much love, and hopes that you find a way through to your own shining happiness, whatever that is for you. Love and solidarity

Hwres some trans positivy for you all. Ive been taking estrogen for about 6 months now and if im doing the measurments correctly, I currently have B cups! Had to share it somewhere! So excited to see where thia takes me!

I recently found out they make skorts with pockets. And with that news I don't think I'll ever voluntarily wear pants ever again.

PUD is a perfectly ultimate dinosaur. Jamie I love your vids.

That nonbinary couple in the black outfits tho Both of them were giving me gender envy. I applaud their looks and fits.

I've been needing some queer joy lately, I'm so glad you're covering trans tiktok!

I want the pockets! I wear men's trousers atm, because where else is my phone supposed to go? The plushies are super cute, I love them ❤

My mom always told me that i shouldn't let others dictate who i am and that being different from the norm is not bad. But threw a fit when i came out as trans femme to her. She litterally asked me why she couldn't have a normal kid (both me and my sister have autism, i have also adhd) all those years of telling me i don't have to fit in only to complain about not have a child who fits in.

Lol. Poor Sasha. As a person whose mum gave all her children gender neutral names (love her, but mine also seems to confuse people in particular 😅) I feel that.

It makes me so happy to see all the enby representation, love seeing people like me be proud and happy!

I want a trans egg, it would be so nice to watch a friend grow into a happy trans person.

You always post right as I’m getting out of school, so I get to watch your videos on the bus. It’s perfect.

I don't know anything else about him but Sasha has a really cool song as a rebutal to the "if archeologist find your bones they'd say you were a girl" bs. It made me emotional.

Can't wait for my pud! Gonna give the egg to my trans daughter 🥰🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Pud is adorable, also they should have a little cape with an S on it... so its also a spud

Thank you for the good vibes ! I am pretty close to top surgery and feel more and more anxious about it. Your video made me forget this anxiety for a short amount of time.

HEY HI HELLO OK SO my first name is Dylan, which to most people reads masculine. As a little kid, I leaned into the whole "girly" thing to reinforce to adults that yes, I'm a girl, yes, my name is Dylan, no, my parents weren't expecting a boy, yes, they chose Dylan specifically for a girl. I ID as agender now, and absolutely love my name, but it drove me up the wall as a kid. I have been feeling Sasha's frustration MY WHOLE LIFE, I so get it. (Side note, I'd already come around to loving my name a while ago, but there was still that little bit of ick associated with it in my mind, until I found out about Dylan Mulvaney. Something about a trans woman choosing the name Dylan for herself just absolutely destroyed that last little bit of ick surrounding my name.)

I 100% agree that bow ties are amazing. I love them and they give me so much euphoria. 10/10, very gender

This is sort of off topic for the video, but it popped in my head during the video of the trans woman who was all "I've always been a woman, transitioning saved my life." The actor they cast for Coby in the live action One Piece show is a trans man!

i don’t have a tiktok and rely on you for my curated trans tiktok fix. thank you 😂

My name is noun- it's a very nice noun, but slightly girly. I transitioned and kept it. I've been fighting for my weirdass name my whole life! I'm not about to stop just because Karen gets confused. That being said, there are days I wish I was just Tyler....

6:28 OMG IT’S NAOMI FROM ‘HEARTSTOPPER’ SEASON 2! I loved her and Felix on the show.

As a trans person this is accurate 😂😂

I gotta thank Johnny bcuz they just introduced me to the term "Manic Pixie Dream Thembo" and that is literally my gender

I'm not visibly trans to most people, but yesterday I went out in a sweatshirt that says "SUPER QUEER" in huge letters and rainbow pins on my rainbow bag. Normally I wouldn't feel comfortable being that overt to do regular shopping but I just forgot I decided to dress extra that day. The number of old ladies who went out of their way to be super nice to me and chat with me and compliment me was extremely chill and affirming. I have had some issues with people being aggressive towards me when I'm wearing way less queer gear, so this was a nice reminder that a lot of people aren't garbage people and want to be kind and normal.

Ive been really struggling with dysphoria lately, especially being in Tennessee where hrt for youth is illegal now. Your videos help me feel a little better about my situation and gives me hope.

For what I know Sasha is a shorter version of both Aleksandr and Aleksandra (the origin is Russian, and I don't know how to write it). In a book I've read that most of Russian short names are gender neutral, so you just cannot assume that a person is female just because their name ends with -a!!! 😖

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! We need more of Trans TikToks in the world ❤

*Good news comment alert!!* My friend has been struggling to transition due to an awful trapped-at-home situation but they've been doing what they can for years. Just recently we finally had a call and they were able to use their new voice! It was sweet and so pretty, we went right into some Real Girl Talk. I'm so proud of them for their accomplishment! 🎉😊😊😊🎉

I was born AFAB, I’m a guy though. My birth name was about as neutral as the name Sam, so I chose to keep it. I’ve never regretted that choice for a moment. I will always be the most supportive person of anyone who wants to change their name, but for me personally it would have been quite difficult

I needed this today, I’ve started a new job in which most of my coworkers are very extremely conservative christians, so I’ve had to go by my dead name and the wrong pronouns for safety. I’ve been socially transitioned for YEARS and it’s so jarring to hear the wrong name, let alone constantly being called a she. I really, really wish it was safer to medically transition in my very red state. But it’s just. It makes me feel safer to be able to go undercover and in the closet, even now. One day I’ll start on T. I have time. It’s never too late, after all. For now. I’ll live the best I can. I am me, and everyone being wrong constantly will NOT change that. And you know what? At this point it makes me feel like I go to work in drag. I am a drag queen in essence, I play a feminine character. It makes me happy when I think about it like that. I love myself and I love who I used to be too. I just learned more about me over the years. Who I was then and who I am now do not coexist, but they did lay the groundwork for building a convincing show off of.

I'm a trans dude. The name I chose for myself is a pet name of my deadname and I love that it's gender neutral even though I'm mostly masculine presenting. I've had several occasions where people were in ear shot discussing what gender I might be and being confused the whole time. It was so funny.

Daily reminder: Little kids are not getting surgeries that affirm their gender.

11:51 Trans woman here, I remember a little after coming out to my grandma we talked a while about it. I mentioned that I was still only interested in dating women and not men and she was confused as to why I would transition if I didn't want to date men. She has been extremely supportive and this wasn't meant as a rude comment. I thought it was kind of funny and I think just reveals some generational differences

Lemme give you a tip, Sasha. So it's a very VERY common name in some Slavic regions and its typically a VERY MUCH unisex name, BUT if y'all want to know, there is more 'masc' version of Sasha - Sanya. It's basically the same name but a cute little nickname, literally every bruttal man i know called SANYA or SANYOK same thing

I am questioning whether I am non binary or genderqueer atm, and this year I cut my hair, and let me tell you it is the best choice I ever made. I have always had really long hair. I cut it to a shoulder length bob once and even donated my hair to a charity, but it kept growing back longer and longer. I have never been a "girly girl" and wanted to do anything with my hair really. In fact I used to really struggle with keeping my hair nice and self-hygiene because of mental health issues and lack of motivation. I had been telling my mam for a good few months that I wanted it cut really short into a cool style and when the day came I was shitting bricks. I was excited, of course, but anxious in case I regretted it and have to wait for it to grow back again. I have to warn you that the first few days of having your hair cut short is quite dreadful, especially if you have long hair. It looks really odd and alien at first and I had to hold in my tears because I thought I looked like a karen, but a few days later I bought some hair bananas to keep my hair back and I really started to like it, and now that it has grown into itself a little bit, it really suits me. Moral of the story, don't knock it till you try it, a big change will always be a shock at first but you don't know until you try if it will grow on you or not! Love you guys!

Definitely second the "even cis people get misgendered based on their name". Even before i id'd as nonbinary, i would constantly get stuff in the mail or voicemails from doctors and shit for "Mr.[Name]".

Anyone needing a little validation for names like Sasha, My dad's name is Shannon, He is AMAB and cis. Also Misha Collins from Supernatural has a twin brother named Sasha!

I needed this today ❤ lately the algorithm sends me so many transphobic shorts it's getting annoying...

there’s a pride parade near where i live happening on saturday, and i’ve managed to get my parents to think im hanging out with my friends, which means i can go!!! it’ll be my first pride parade ever, and i can’t wait for it!!! (im 15, and i’ve been questioning shit for about 3 years lol) just wanted to share because i’m super excited for it!!

I don't know if this will be useful to anyone but - My name is Sasha and it varies in assumption of gender when spoken with country/language (it's not exactly neutral, moreso its one or the other depending on where in the world you are), but a general rule when written in English-speaking countries it's usually female when spelt with an s 'Sasha' and male when spelt with a c 'Sacha'.

In Germany, Sascha (yes, with a c, "sch" is how we write the "sh" sound) is an exclusively male name. I was very confused when upon realising that Sashas were (mostly) female in the English speaking world.

i saw vidoe today saying that "all men have a freckle on the inside of their forarm close to the elbow" which ofc is ridiculous, but as a trans masc person i felt weirdly affirmed by having that freckle (and there were so many trans ppl in the comments saying da same) 😂😅

You 100% can dye your pit hair the same way you dye your head hair (mine are pink!) But sweat fades it faster and don't wear white! Have fun!

I am an old trans and so you whipper-snappers with your Toks-Tik confuse me (/s) so I really love seeing all the happy trans folk

i used to always have long hair. it was long enough that i had to pull it over my shoulder to use the bathroom or else it would go in the toilet water. when i was 18 my mom finally let me cut my hair. unfortunately her and the hairdresser pressured me into getting it shoulder length instead of how i really wanted it cause "it would traumatize me" from cutting it all off in one go like that. nowadays i never let my hair get longer than the base of my neck cause it always feels so uncomfortable. short hair ftw

I'm a cis-woman who shaved her hair and although some regrowth phases were awkward, I had so much fun playing with it!

JaMiE wiLL nEvEr bE a ReAL wOmaN❤

Clicked on your channel only because I was bored > Video uploaded 3 minutes ago Hell yeah

I also kept my name when I transitioned. But for me it's backwards. I have a traditionally masculine name that is gender neutral-ish. So people got confused because of my name all the time. Then I came out as a trans man and transitioned. Now no one bats an eye at my name. My parents even joke that they may have gotten my gender wrong as a kid but they got my name right.

Had to order a PUD-asaurus for myself! I friggin love dinosaurs so I really couldn't resist it. 😅

Sasha is a really common nickname for men in Russia. It is a gender neutral name worldwide but I think it's usually assumed to be a femme person in the U.S.

Seeing all this stuff about kids just not caring about this stuff makes me sad. I recently stated really blankly to my 8 year old cousin after she asked about the big trans flag on my wall and she had a negative reaction. She tried to convince me that no, I am a girl, not a boy, she even ran off to go tell her mum. I think I'm making progress in changing her mind on trans people though, as the last time she came over, she asked if I'm still a boy and when I said yes, she just said, "okay," and moved on

Coming from watching Noahfinnce's cover video to watch this video - I couldn't have guessed how much these improved my evening but both videos do sooooo much improve day...I manifest nice nightly dreams after this, based on the peace this gives me :)

I love that the egg is detachable for people not ready for others to know or just wants to be able to carry little Dino around without being harassed.

Life has been kicking my butt recently, so it was such a relief to sit down for a few minutes and watch the raw positivity in this video
