You always have that one unnecessary straight character in Netflix shows

@@goldennyx6203 Or multiple when at the end of the series they try to hook everyone up with straight partners even if it make little sense to their character development and is possibly is a detriment to their character development.

@@twylenb Sometimes that does happen. It’s a very fast and forced relationship. They are like we can’t have anyone being single and they gotta be straight it’s the only way. It’s ridiculous thinking like that

And they always be talkin about ‘trying for a baby’, we don’t need to know how much you’re having your straight seggs!

I think you just described my Grandpa perfectly.

I hate that country music, MAGA and hating your wife are straight stereotypes lol I’m a straight man and I absolutely hate all of that

That’s why I feel deterred from befriending boys. I’m sick of people thinking my best guy friend is my boyfriend, so to avoid that, I’m not going to have a best friend who’s a boy

@@MeemahSN as amab, that's a constant thing i noticed too

@@MeemahSN I just think platonic friendships between different genders should be normalized and it feels ridiculous to me they aren't? Never had a guy friend growing up, only girls (well, and enbies, later it turned out 😄), and I honestly didn't process guys being, like, people? Which sounds super bad yeah 😅 But to me as a kid, there was my dad, my grandpa, and the boys my age were just a mysterious existence of "you see them at school, are expected to have a crush on them" 🙈 I seriously wish I would have had guy friends much sooner. And yeah, one of my best friends now is a guy, and yes, when we first started hanging out, it took like a year to convince my family we weren't dating, and we've been treated as a couple by all sorts of shop clerks, too, which... Well it can be funny, but mostly it's just kinda annoying 😅 Not to mention his first boyfriend was paranoid over if we had something going on and it was so awkward and awful 😖 So please, people, normalize friendships between different genders, and *believe* people when they tell you they're friends!

fr, and me and my guy best friend can't really hug around ppl cause it's awkward and I feel like our parents/sibs will get sus lol

Ah, the good old "guys and girls can't be friends" that ruined half my friendships

Yeah I'm curious about that. If you come across any other similar posters that give context I would like to know. Awhile ago I came across two handmade posters outside of a hotel I was staying at. One was a poster I did not understand; talking about protecting kids from something (it used a word or bill # that at the time I didnt know the meaning of). The other poster was very anti-choice and I used that context to assume I really wasn't going to like the confusing poster. I tore them both down and it turns out the confusing poster was VERY homophobic and was trying to "protect children" by making it illegal to talk about anything lgbt related in classrooms.

How can you be trans as a child

Thank you for teaching me the word endosex :-) had to google it but I like learning new things (In case anyone reads this and doesn't know, it's the opposite of intersex).

@@katherinestar1831 you're welcome!

Yes! I hadn't heard of endosex, so thank you! If you wanted to add another one," allosexual" refers to anyone who is not asexual and "alloromantic" refers to anyone who is not aromantic. I guess the full title would be cis-gender, hetero, allo, endosex, and monogamous people. I'm just now realizing how many qualifiers it takes to be considered "normal".

@@katherinestar1831 thought it would be allosex not endosex. Endo means like internal so it feels a bit weird to us as a word

@@WolfgangDoW I know, it sounds like there is something like "exosex" too, but somehow this word has come to mean the opposite of intersex. Since I am not intersex myself, I feel I don't have the right to start using other words around intersex issues.

I make it part of my personality cuz I was raised in a cult 🥲

As long as your pissing off trans/homophobes your doing something right 👍

Dinosaurs are awesome!

No romance, no s*xual attraction, no binary, and no neurotypical brain, you're The No and I applaud you.

Mood, fr-

@@captaincaspian42 that's the same way I view myself too so it felt nice that someone else recognized the awesomeness that is my intersecting identities. All of my identities are essentially "no fuck you I do what I want" which is very punk rock of me. It's so fitting to my personality too because my favorite words growing up were "no" and "why". It's kinda cool being so counter to everyone's expectations, prejudices/stereotypes, and just societal roles and traditions in general but because there's so many ways I am (and because a lot of them are outside of a binary completely so I don't have a place at all) there's no day off. Like, I'm constantly reminded in some way that I'm invisible to most people and that things are not made for me, in a way that maybe a binary or passing trans person wouldn't encounter as often. I can never just be, I'm always fighting or representing something just by existing which isn't always what I want to do all the time.

You are so cool :-)

This is probably the 1% of the 1% being accepted here, our country is still largely homophobic to the point that they kill people when they come out as trans. I know for a fact I couldn't come out unless I'm moving to another country

Agreed. I'm turning 44 this week, and I only just figured out I was non-binary 5 or 6 years ago, though I probably would have worked it out when I was a questioning teen, had the language and concepts been available in the small, rural, pre-internet town where I was growing up. Hell, figuring out I was queer in that environment was awful enough. I absolutely feel what you are feeling, and I'm with you, my friend.

They are they only person I know with NB pronouns in real life. In some ways online is easier, because I can review what I've written BEFORE posting and make sure the names/pronouns are correct. In real life, I just told them. If i slip up at first, out of habit, please correct me. I ofc don't mean to. It's not a big deal. Because they knew it was accidental. The real issue comes when people refuse to use the correct name/pronouns in purpose. (Like the friend's father)

I think there are many cis people following Jamie. And that is super nice. The topics he talks about, are necessary for all people.

Thank you for the positive feedback I honestly wish I had known how to be a more supportive person to my daughter's friend at the time. Had I known more I would have been more protective of him. Also he was a boy wanting to spend the night with my daughter. So I would have paid more attention to that. This is all so new. My daughter is bisexual and I learned this later. This is a parenting minefield. I'm just trying to love my kids and keep them safe and make sure that in the teenage years everything is safe and appropriate. Its really hard to know what to do

@@antigenderideologies I feel so sorry if your son ever asks to play with Barbies. What are you gonna do, shut him in his room and scream how he has been perverted by the world or something? It's just dudes wearing clothes and dresses were originally made for men so what's the problem?

@@theduckyninja1086 Boys don't naturally want to play with barbie dolls. If he does, then it's for...ahem..."other reasons", if you get my drift. And no, I wouldn't "shut him in his room and scream" like a psychopath, I would simply just say "no you're not playing with that". Dresses were NEVER made for men. You are probably getting confused and mixed with robes that men used to wear. Robes are completely different from dresses, including kilts. The Bible says that wearing clothes that pertain to the opposite gender, is not only a sin, but it's also an abomination. Those men are in trouble on the day of judgement if they don't repent! Men shouldn't wear dresses or skirts under any circumstance, no matter how "comfortable" it may feel. Men wear those as a sexual fetish/kink. It is an act of self degrading perversion.

Good for you! Try not to get your hopes for a board-flat chest up too high, though. I went through a bit of a mental breakdown when I still had visible breasts after putting my binder on. I cried for days, and couldn't look at myself or my binder for a couple weeks. I don't want that to happen to anyone else. Just remember that it's okay not to be flat.

Aww, that's so wholesome and beautiful.

It’s weird that people knock on your door because of who you want to sleep with , by all means sleep with who you want but it’s annoying having politics shoved down your throat like what if a homosexual neighbour felt uncomfortable because of your parents sexuality activism?

@@clarence_claymore. sexual identity is (often) about a lot more than "who you want to sleep with". Displaying a pride flag is less like posting a sign saying "I think blondes are hot" or some other sexual preference and more like posting a sign saying "I'm accepting of sexually marginalized people". As far as I know, none of the people who've knocked on my parent's door have been responding to any sexual desires communicated through the pride flag, because it's a pretty vague symbol in terms of communicating attraction or desire or any information about who someone has sex with or dates. My parents are a monogamously married man and woman, so if anyone does interpret the pride flag as some symbol of who they want to have sex with, they'll be disappointed to realize my parents are basically just the standard American hetero couple. Really, in this context, the pride flag is a symbol demonstrating my parent's dedication to queer and trans people's rights and to a world in which saying "I support queer people" would be a politically neutral act

@Helen Everbach How are homosexuals marginalised? Last time I checked the hole establishment ( government, silicon Valley , Holly Wood , universities ect) supports lgbt , if it’s not about sexual desire then would you agree it’s about activism? If I was a homosexual could you understand why I wouldn’t want “I support queer people “ as political neutral act since I’m not apparat of the lgbt cult ?

@@clarence_claymore. I'm not super into your use of the term 'homosexual', although that's totally a personal preference about language. I just feel like 'homosexual' has pathologizing implications because of its history coming out of psychiatry and sexology in the 19th century as a mental illness classification (unlike the terms gay or queer, which also have complex histories but which I personally prefer to use when talking about myself or other gay and queer people). To answer your question for how are queer people marginalized, a bunch of ways! We're discriminated against legally (so it is surprising you seem to think the government, I assume you mean the US government since you later say silicon valley, is supportive of us). There is no federal law that bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in public accommodations, like restaurants, theaters and other businesses. In some states, it is legal to fire people for being LGBTQIA+. Some states deny trans people from using public restrooms. Trans people are disproportionately victims of physical violence, something that is compounded by race and class (so poor trans women of color are more vulnerable to this kind of violence than white wealthy trans women for instance). Hollywood certainly has a complex history with supporting queer people- the Hays code in the mid 20th century made it so all hollywood films depicting queer characters ended in those characters being punished, usually through violent death. This established a film language for queer people's suffering that continues in film (and particularly cartoons) today with queer coded characters dying horribly (look into 'bury your gays' trope for examples). Universities vary with their queer support- certainly some do support their queer students, but many unfortunately don't. If queerness isn't about sexual desire, do I think it's about activism? Sort of. I think queerness can mean a lot of different things to different people. Personally I do think queer as a political term is a pretty radical and interesting idea- check out Cathy Cohen's excellent essay "Punks, Bulldaggers, and Welfare Queens" to read more about this idea (she basically argues that queer is more useful as a term for political organizing around liberation of all sexually marginalized people, including single black mothers on welfare, rather than using queer as an essentialist term describing desire). It seems you don't identify as queer, so I kind of feel like the nuances of what queer means to different queer people is something you've probably not spent that much time looking into (which is okay! I have a BA in feminist studies and am getting an MA in this topic right now, and I don't expect all people to find reading post-structuralist discourse about sexual identity labels as interesting as I do). If you do wanna learn more about this topic, a good introductory text is Queer a Graphic History. Nikki Sullivan's “Queer: a Question of Being or a Question of Doing?” is also good.

Oh, I couldn't do what you do. I accept cis people's lifestyle, but if it was happening under my roof, I don't think I could live with that.... Maybe consider also calling her not a man or not gay aswell, like introducing her as your not gay, not male roommate or something xD

Thank you even though I'm not married. Life is more than just that, though. I'm straight but am worried about the direction our economy is going. I'm afraid of where I'll be 5 years from now. I'm thinking of others, too. When will the next mass shooting happen? What are people really struggling with right now and is there any way to help them? Where are the people who are on the verge of taking their life? I want to hug them and tell them I'll be here every step of the way as long as they don't go through with it.

Turned another one! Yases!!!

That's a typical story, even in the LGBTQ+ community. It's why I appreciate Jamie's audience so much -- he has never encouraged any kind of gatekeeping here, and between his ability to speak from personal experience and based on an advanced education, if there were any valid reason to do so, I think he'd have mentioned it by now. With our continued progress, in time clueless people like that other dude will be hard to find... not that we'd want to. 💜

oh SAME, I've never understood "gay people shouldn't flaunt their gayness" because to me, everyone is always flaunting their attraction (especially the Str8s) and it's kind of weird. It's worse when it comes to marriage discussions.
