As a cis woman I’m HORRIFIED every time I hear how non-private men’s restroom situations are. Like whyyyyyy would there be a door that’s not a door? Or worse, stalls with NO DOORS for doing a poo (or otherwise) with everyone watching? Strongest argument ever for gender neutral restrooms!

So the bathroom thing is for a couple of reasons 1. To prevent homeless people from sleeping in the bathroom because it's one of the few temperature regulated places they have access to 2. To prevent people from doing drugs in the bathrooms I think it's called hostile architecture. This is the same reason why our benches has unnecessary dividers and there are poles and stuff preventing people from sleeping in public areas It's really messed up because instead of investing money to fix these issues, they just keep it out of the sight of the public

My son is trans, and the one person I thought we would have trouble with was my 85 year old, Catholic, Scottish grandma. Cut to her immediately using the correct name and pronouns for my son, and even correcting her son (my uncle) when he purposefully used the wrong name. It means so much to my son that his Nana loves and respects him. I love her so much!

6:40 idk bro but when I came out to my grandma as non binary a few days ago she looked me dead in the eyes and said "oh sweetie I don't do numbers either" I explained it to her after she said that and she accepts me but like that's the best response by far that I've gotten when I've come out to people

Was feeling slightly dysphoric today but the community on Reddit made me feel better and now Jaime gave me the icing on the trans cake, thanks Jamie :)

As an enby lesbian there was an odd couple months where only trans women would talk to me on dating apps. Eventually one of them explained it was because I had they/them in my profile so I "probably wouldn't panic the way cis people do". Still terrifies me to think what these women have to deal with meeting up with people. Be safe out there ❤

I'm a trans man and a parent so I am a transparent! And my 13 year old is my biggest supporter by far.

I'm a transparent to two trans men, and the oldest is also a trans parent to an enbi. So I am a grand trans parent lol

since not enough people are saying it: As a cis lesbian i would absolutely date a trans woman! ya'll are amazing!

I recently came out to my grandmama. By recently I mean yesterday at 3 in the morning. We both woke up and sat together. She asked me what I got for Christmas at home. I quietly told her about my binder. She asked what it was and after I explained it she said "that sounds painful. Why would you want that". After a good few seconds of pure fear I told her that I'm trans and on the days when the dysphoria isn't bad then I wear a dress. I didnt know how to explain gender fluid to her so I just said that. "Hmm we do need more boys in the family". I cried. I'm still not gonna tell papa but it's nice being out to grandmama. After we woke up again she gave me a butterfly necklace. "I know you dont like girly things but you've always been my little butterfly". And I always will be. I just wanted to share this cause I wasnt expecting it. I knew she'd be ok with it with how she reacted to me having a girlfriend, but I didnt know itd go so well. I hope y'alls family are as accepting of yall♡

3:22 I'd like to add to these instructions some extra tips for you trans guys a) _Never shave against the grain!_ You always, always shave in the direction of hair-growth. Yes, even under your chin. You will get ingrown hairs otherwise, resulting in pimples. With the Grain. b) This is also why blades are better than electric razors. Electric moves its blades in pretty much every direction. Some guys never end up with ingrown hairs from this. For other guys, electric razors will always give them ingrown hairs. c) _Stretch your skin._ Tight Skin == Close Shave. Tight Skin Prevents Cuts. Pull up at your hairline. Pull back on your ear. Lather up only part of your face at a time so you can pull it tight. d) *Only pull your razor PERPENDICULAR TO THE BLADES!* Which means in the direction of the handle. Think about it. If the blades move parallel to their edge, they will slice your skin. Well guess what? Any direction you move the razor in is actually a combination of parallel-to-the-edge and perpendicular-to-the-edge … _except_ moving purely perpendicular. e) If you nick yourself (1) you sometimes won't feel it; (2) you'll usually bleed more than it hurts, because cuts on the face and head tend to bleed profusely. A way to deal with cuts (besides the usual piece of tissue or toilet paper) is a Styptic Pencil, which is actually a stick of alum. You wet it and rub it on the cut. It causes the capillaries to constrict and stop the bleeding. Cuts don't happen as often as you think. During the first 5 years of using a blade, I think I cut myself twice. Since then, I've cut myself once every 7-10 years? And in all cases, it was because I was _rushing,_ being _careless,_ or hadn't changed the blade recently. f) Disposable razors should be used only once. Razors with changeable heads should be changed every 1-2 weeks, depending on how thick/dense your facial hair is. Mine is still light enough (even though I'm over 50) that I can get away with 3 weeks, but that's pushing it. And yeah, you're also gonna get lazy as you get older and not change the blade as frequently as you should. But if your can't remember when you last replaced the blade, it's _Definitely_ time for a new one. g) If you're using an actual razor (which I recommend), consider getting one of those suction-cup mirrors and shave in the shower. You're already starting with a clean, warmed-up face, rinsing off the blade between strokes is trivial, and it actually takes less time. - From your older cis gay uncle. 😊

Fun fact: in some parts of Canada (Saskatchewan) hoodies are called “Bunny Hugs.” They really are the most therapeutic type of clothing.

"People don't go online to say that their attractions are inclusive of trans people, do they?" Well, let me say, as a straight cis woman: I can be just as attracted to a trans guy as to a cis guy. It's not like I usually crush on someone because their chromosomes are just so hot or whatever... :D

Am I the only one who would love to sit down with Jamie and talk about the science of trans people over a nice cup of tea

American trans guy here: The gaps in the stalls are horrifying. I've low-key mastered the art of slow, quiet pees to make it seem like I'm pooping while I await my bottom surgery consultation.

If it helps y’all when you’re opening pads/tampons in the men’s bathroom, I’ve heard stories online, and most cis dudes think it’s chips. Why would someone bring a bag of chips into a bathroom stall? The possible answers to this question often concern them, and they may even whisper a curt “good luck” as they pass by.

Since there aren't enough people saying it: trans people are amazing and valid, and I would absolutely date a trans person 💛

That story about the grandma made me super emotional I recently lost my grandma before i was ready to tell her i'm trans, but my mom apparently told her a while before she passed away because my mom was struggling to accept it and needed someone to talk to (not the best i know, but that's all resolved now) And my grandma was super supportive of it all.

Seeing that wholesome grandma really hit me. Yesterday I had to deal with my very bigoted grandparents and couldn't do anything about it because I didn't want to cause any conflict on Christmas. I know for a fact that I could never come out to them and that they would never support me. Seeing that grandma be so supportive and loving made me yearn for a grandparent like that.

Yeah, American public bathrooms always have those gaps. Usually the door covers more, but there's a huge gap at the bottom and some gaps on the side. The gap on the bottom was created to be able to get to someone in case of an emergency (IE they're having a seisure, or are unconsious, etc), but that also has its own problems, and the gaps on the sides are nightmares... I had a bad experience when I was younger, a good decade before I came out, from the lack of privacy and even now I hate having to use the public bathrooms

I’m a trans parent and I’m very transparent about my LOVE FOR MY TRANS CHILD She’s the most beautiful human bean and I’m lucky cos I made 2 fabulous beans 🥰

My younger son got Pokémon Pearl for Christmas and promptly named his starting character “Trans Ally” in support of his older trans sister💗

Hi Jamie, I am a transgender mtf! My SUPER supportive cousin got me makeup and she helped me put some on and I tried makeup styles and it was incredible. It helped me so much and this video is the icing on the cake. Thank you!

Bathrooms here in the USA have almost no privacy… Makes it really hard, especially if you live in the Midwest or the south and people are a fairly anti-trans… Happy note though, I just swapped everything over today is because I’m changing my name and all that fun stuff, and I couldn’t remember what your KZfaq name was. So I googled wholesome trans guy, and you were the first one that popped up 💜

The bathroom situation in the US depends a lot on the venue. The cracks around the door are pretty consistent due to cheaply-made everything, but the door generally provides a lot more privacy than that; the reason that major public parks get barely-private doors is that they want to discourage the use of drugs in the stalls there. Here in Seattle there's a huge problem with people ODing on heroin in random bathrooms, for example, so you get those teeny-tiny doors in places like libraries and bus terminals. I don't think that the erosion of privacy is the correct solution to this, of course. Just that it's the (really crappy) solution that a lot of places have decided on.

I am scared to tell my parents I might be trans so I haven’t bought a binder until today (won’t arrive for two weeks but I’m excited) and so as a replacement I wore three or four sports bras on top of each other and the first time I wore it I straight up forgot I was a afab. I was walking and went “if I were a girl I’d wouldn’t want that feature” then realised it was my reflection in a window

Jamie: Is tired the default state of trans people? Me: looks over to the hoodie I got for Christmas that says ☐ Male ☐ Female 🗹 Tired

So some guy in a tf2 server was being hella transphobic and I said in chat "imagine being cis" and the INSANT response of "shut the f*** up hellofend" made me feel both incredibly happy and made me laugh

the first time i put on a binder i cried out of joy and then frustration of the situation; the first time i put a shirt on over my head post top surgery i smiled so big and i still forget i dont need to bind every now and again

okay i’m officially going online to say that i as a cis person would 10/10 date a trans person and my partner as a cis person thought i was trans (lmfao) and was 10/10 okay with dating me and just waiting for me to come out (pls 😭😭😭😭)

Positive trans stuff helps me so much. Out to a few family as enby but don't think they understand its under the trans umbrella so have to be careful what trans stuff I follow. Being bi and aromantic is enough for them to wrap their heads around so far but we're slowly getting there.

Yay! Uncle Jamie is back. Best Christmas present ever

I'm an enby type person, who has had gender identity struggles *and* a deep love of oversized hoodies for as long as I can remember. Never really connected the 2 until now, and had a good hard laugh. Thanks, Jamie!

Feeling the big sad and the big dysphoria, living in Texas not helping, but this cheered me up slightly. Thanks

Got my first binder yesterday! It feels so comfy!!! I don't know how other people can resist the urge to wear one 24/7

Since u said people dont say it on the internet I feel I need to say myself (and everyone I know) are definitely attracted to trans people of the gender/s they're attracted to! Trust me theres lots of us who are ready and willing to love you guys

i love your channel :) i’m genderfluid now but you made me feel so much better when i thought i was trans so thank you

Funny story - my friend is cishet and she's dating my trans-pan friend. When we first told her about superstraights, she gave us this blank look and asked if she asked, "Does that make me a lightly straight? Bendy straight?" We all burst out laughing cause the way she said it was so genuinely confused XD

My grandma also had the best reaction of my family. She refers to me as her grandson, wanted to fight her ex husband, my grandpa for recommending conversion therapy, acts like people were talking to her when I get dead named (I was originally named after her), and always corrects my dad when he misgenders me. My grandma is crazy but I love her so much for being so accepting of me and being proud of having a trans grandson

I relate way too hard to the bathroom one. I've always hated how VISIBLE and AUDIBLE public restrooms are, there's absolutely no privacy.

2:40 me: Tastes like trans rights? my brain: Smells like Trans Spirit

I am not trans, but during a disney on Ice intermission I snuck into the men's bathroom because the women's was stupid full. I had on a hoodie and I walked in, used the bathroom, and walked out with only getting one stare. I made it back in time to see Repunzels opening performance lol. Hoodies save lives.

I did support trans folks before, but this year having experienced the worst dysphoria I've had since I was a kid, I hope even more that everyone is able to become their best selves exactly the way they see themselves. Clothing, hair, body, whatever you need I wish all the right ones for you!! No one should be afraid of crying when they look in the mirror. And anyone who disagrees can go suck a rock.

I was messaging a guy on Tinder recently and I was unsure if he'd read my bio, but his said "straight guy". I felt I should clarify that I'm trans, just in case he was one of those who are really weird about trans people. His response was that it didn't bother him. Really made me feel there was some humanity in some of this apps.

The shaving help was just a whole new kind of wholesome.

The crack in the bathroom thing is literally just because it's cheaper. Everything in the US is made as cheaply as possible. And the small door thing is to prevent people from doing drugs or having sex in the bathrooms. But at that point you're more punishing everyone else than stopping that.

My dad kind of taught me to shave after I came out, he shaved in front of me and was like, "and that's how you do it, good luck" and then I had to go figure out what he did.

I'm at a very frustrating point right now, in my journey. Boobs too big for binders to hide it all, family misgendering me over the holidays (incl my brothers who i have been out to the longest), my hormone level testing got postponed till April and i had to reschedule my last therapy session because I was sick. ..I'm kinda super frustrated right now. Thank you for lighting my mood about with this video. ❤️

Jammi said that people don't express their inclusive attraction so here I am : if you are trans I love you. I'm bi too so trans man or trans woman it doesn't matter I LOVE ALL OF YOU ❤❤❤ Have a nice day

I remember always watching my dad shaving when I was a kid and even wanting to shave. It just felt right and correct for me. Now, having come out as Non-binary Trans-Masculine, makes a lot more sense. Thanks to the dads out there that may have unwittingly taught their afabs how to shave ^_^.

Hey. My names Jasper. Your videos help me with getting over internalized transphobia and come to terms with who I am. :3 -Jasper (he/fae)

I'm a cis gay guy and a few weeks ago I decided to cut my hair short because of life stuff that happened. I was trying to experiment with my feminine side (nail polish is badass tbh, I love it. Makeup, dresses and such no much (although high heels feel empowering untill they start hurting). Well, for a few days after cutting my hair to a length of like two fingers I couldn't stand my reflection, it gave me literal nausea to look to the mirror. I ended up shaving my head to like half a centimeter length with a machine we had laying around at 4am because the thought of the long hair being missing was weird, I couldn't touch it, it didn't brush against my shoulders, it was weird. I'm quite happy with the hair all gone rn, the middle length was the issue. But I don't know if that acted like dysphoria, but if it is similar to it, the sensation is horrible. I could only compare it to my anxiety and paranoia cranked up to eleven, and being on me. Strange feelings of parts of your body being differently shaped, sized, on different locations, with other textures... It makes you doubt about the reality of yourself. It's horrible. I feel like I can empathize even more with people who have dysphoria now...

I was just forced to come out as trans to my family and it didn’t go too well at all im glad theres people who makes content like this to make things a little better

That guy teaching people how to shave! What a hero! The Internet really can be a wonderful place sometimes

As a Trans lady who has been shaving for more years then I would like to admit let me drop some knowledge on you boys and your new face fur. 1) shaving cream is not for everyone its a skin type thing, some folks do better with a high fat soap lather like goat milk soap, if you have oily skin and I know T can do that to you this may help, all you need is a brush and that last a life time (i use my grandfather's who I share my dead name with but you can get them for like 10 buck for a cheep one) and those cans are really bad for the environment. 2) hot water is key! i do mine in the shower and that really helps soften thing up but I know my face very well and do alot more then my face (Tladies got me), It started cause when I was in my teens I could not looking the mirror most mornings but now i just do it because gets a better shave. 3) If you can (like if you skin is not too sensitive or the growth to long) shave up you can get a better shave as it lift the hair off the skin before cutting rather then laying it flat on your skin and just like putting make up on, pulling on your face over time it can make your cheeks droop ect. 4) get a trimmer, keep those lines tight and straight keep a stash off the coloured part of your lip it will look much neater, and kissing much better.

I just got my first real gender affirming haircut today after 3 1/2 years of being out :( and this vidoe is just the cherry on top of today, thank you so much jamie

I just wanted to let you know that your content helped me realized that I'm a trans man. I basically am just in the process of coming out, but I've been on the fence for years and it's support from people like you and the community that surrounds your channel that helped me accept who I am. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

You videos make me feel so much better when I’m feeling dysphoric or sad thank you for making everyone’s day better

when my partner came out to me as a trans man, i played a little prank on him, we had an inside joke since we met, that I would never be straight (even tho, I am bi) so when he told me he was a man I was like “are you telling me that IM….. STRAIGHT?!?” he laughed at me and then I told him that he had my full support, and that I would like to be there when he cut his hair, and then I got really sad because he wanted to dye his hair black but I really loved his green highlighter hair 😔😔

As a non-binary person, some of these are relatable.

9:20 I'm slowly realising that this is why i love hoodies and oversized clothes so much-

I recently came out to my parents it didn't go very well soo this makes me soo happy.

Hoodies, the heroes for dysphoria, dysmorphia (me), the chronically cold, the chronically ill, SA survivors and the incredibly introverted - how did such a magical piece of clothing get invented?

Not Jamie walking into the worst public bathroom in America

If it makes you (or any other trans guy) feel better, as a cis man, I refuse to use urinals, so I don't think it's weird to wait for a stall.

That grandma one made me cry ... why can't I have a family like that? I'm Agender and 99% of my family won't understand/accept that

More positive trans tiktok!! This was so soothing for the soul xD Trans triffle does sound amazing though xD

I'm a trans man and I just came out to my grandparents about a year ago and they were also so supportive. They immediately started calling me the right name and they called me every single day when I was recovering from my top surgery. I love them so much! 💖

reasons why I watch your videos: 1% the actual content 99% I am obsessed with your hair

Couldn’t a trans parent also be a mom, dad, or zad who is trans? Since people are sounding off: I’m trans non-binary, and bi (they/them)

1:53 not me being lonely, tired, and broken...

Just to say, as a cis man, I would assume a person waiting for a stall needed to poo, I wouldn't notice the sound of pee (which can vary depending on the presence or absence of a foreskin and how it's shaped), and if I heard rustling, I'd probably either assume that it was (a) someone with a colostomy who needed privacy, or (b) someone doing something nefarious, like something drug related who might get angry at an interruption. While I can't speak for everyone of course, you can probably divide people into (a) enlightened and won't want to make you feel uncomfortable (b) curious as to what's happening, but reasonably open minded, and (c) unenlightened, but fearful that people might think that they're gay because they think gay men have nothing better to do than look at other guys' penises in the bathroom, so they won't say anything.

I just got an undercut and thanks to Christmas I have a bunch of new clothes that I feel so masculine in, I finally get to go out tomorrow (it's to a doctor's appointment and the store but still) and I am so thoroughly happy for people to finally see me as who I am.

im always kind of sad when your videos are over, you are so comforting, Jamie

These made me tear up because I don’t have the support that a lot of these people have. I can’t even get a haircut until I’m 18 and I can’t wear my binder that my friend gave me - so It makes me feel happy to see other trans folks get the love they ought to get 🏳️‍⚧️✨💕

Hi! I wanted to let you know that your videos helped me through quarantine and my depression. When I first started watching you I thought I was cis, maybe pansexual, but I recently discovered I am a trans man (possible Demi boy) and am bisexual. You helped me to realize this and feel comfortable with it. I remember one time near the end of a video you said: some people just don’t realize that they are trans and all they need is a little push; or something like that but that’s when I realized that maybe that applies to me. Anyways I just wanted to thank you. You are an amazing person and I love your channel.

Me a 25 year old trans woman: how did I never know about the towel thing?

Guys my best friend is buying me a binder and my moms getting me one too because she said I needed more than one 😭😭😭😭

These are so wholesome! Almost made me cry honestly. I needed this today, thank you Jamie!

recently had another gender crisis, i changed my name and pronouns but still felt dysphoric. this is the channel that helped me with the dysphoria while i figured things out, thanks jamie!

I only arrive here about a week ago, but I already love this channel so much and it makes me feel very happy and validated so thank you so much :)

Wait. As a kid I was always pretty feminine and thought I wanted to be a girl, but I just assumed I was being a dumb kid looking back, but lately I've also wanted to portray myself as pretty feminine and I kind of wish I could wear skirts and things without being constantly judged and now I'm wondering if I'm just a bit feminine or if I'm trans... oh yeah maybe saying I'm a guy is useful.

My dating profiles always say transmanfriendly. It also helps weed out the super awful types.

Jamie, thank you, I really needed that after working all through Christmas. Your energy always makes my day. On dysphoria: I am cis but I experience it too, never having accepted my abdominal area. Your reaction to that particular Tik Tok was spot on.

Your videos help me get through my bad days and deal with my dysphoria. Thanks you for uploading .

Oh my I needed a funny video like this. I had a HORRIBLE Christmas. Hope everyone else's was far better. If not, just don't repeat the things that made it bad and next year will be better. Me? Going it alone because it's better than being in bad company.

after three years of waiting and wondering if i would ever get a date scheduled, my top surgery is in less than a month!!! I am both terrified since i've never had a big surgery and so ecstatic that i'll finally be able to move and dress and exist without the crippling dysphoria i have right now. thank you for always releasing videos that make me smile and also teach me many new things, it's lovely have a place on the internet full of other supportive and empathetic trans people who understand all the highs and lows of this experience! sending hugs to all who are feeling dysphoric and having a hard time this holiday season, i love you and you are amazing ♥️

1:45 I'm D in the LGBT - ✨Depressed✨

Positive videos about trans stuff like this really helps trans people who kinda lost hope, thank you Jamie :)

Just a reminder Trans fems, you look pretty and I hope you have a good day Trans mascs, you look handsome and I hope you have a good day Nonbinary people, you look positively perplexing and I hope you have a good day Allys, I cannot tell you how much the little things mean, thank you and a hope you have a good day (If this made you day please let me know, it means a lot)

I came out to my family and my friends today. Your videos have really helped. I really love your videos, so thank you a lot for doing what you do.

I love that Jamie makes sure he isn’t mean and doesn’t come off as mean and if he is then he’s sorry. Love you Jamie

Twas feeling both Trans related & Otherkin Dysphoria today. Someone was arguing about my It/Its pronouns and that "If you think you're an animal than you need help other than accepting yourself". This video is helping me feel better. Thank you.

Someone get this man a cookie cat / Cookie Puss because I do believe they deserve it!! Thank you for being the representative that I show my male coworkers that trans men are a type of men

I love your videos! Your general message of acceptance and positivity makes me smile every time I watch one of your videos. :) I’m ftm and it’s so frustrating when people misgender me because I thought I was pretty convincing. 🥲 Seeing the affects of testosterone and surgery, both physically and mentally, is a huge reassurance for me. ❤️

Thank you for posting a video today Jammie! I always call this a "video famine" between Christmas (vlogmas) and New Years, and I'm grateful you posted a new one *YAAAY!* 😃😍🤩😁 7:50 YES, there is very little to NO privacy in bathrooms in the US. Some bathrooms don't even have dividers 😰😱 Even if I wasn't trans, I would hate to see what the person next to me was doing 🤨 The doors may be short, or the cracks in the stall doors are VERY wide so anyone can look in, it's unnerving. I honestly have nightmares about bathrooms. The more I watch channels from the U.K., the more I want to move there just to have more inclusivity 🙂

To be fair, I'm a cis man and my dad never taught me to shave. Though I did ask for an electric razor and had it for several years, so this is not exactly news, but there are resources online to help. Also I stare at the cracks as well.

As a person with a service dog who can't fit in regular stalls, I can relate hard to being stuck waiting for someone to finish pooping in the only toilet I can use. It sucks, especially if you really got to go.

The one with the Grandma had me crying; so beautiful!!🌸

The story with the supportive grandma is so sweet!
