When you and Shabba have a baby don't be alarmed if she can't see you anymore. You've just become (a) trans-parent!

Nurse here. Its recommended to only use an electric razor before surgery, standard razors can create microscopic wounds that increase the risk of infection. Just thought I'd mention that.

Getting pregnant as a trans guy sounds traumatic

I am a transman. I got pregnant way before I came out. It was very traumatic. However, my daughter just knew I was her dad. It was so funny because she told me she knew I was transgender. Hands down I have become a much better father since I have come out. Also, my top surgery was painless. I just don't want anyone to get scared by stories. A lot of people tried to tell me it was very painful.

Okay but the hug question was really wholesome

pregnancy: *exists* me, trans ftm: *now im just gonna have to say no to that-*

'theres a stereotype that all trans guys play ukulele' me, a trans guy who plays ukulele:

I'm ftm and I have so much RESPECT for the ftm guys who get pregnant purposely. Like, those dude are so courageous?? I know some guys don't have so much dysphoria about it but I have a LOT and I really respect them. They are fierce.

Trans FTM can absolutely have children. However, the testosterone supplements can interfere with fetal development, so those who chose to have children may have to go off T therapy. This obviously can increase dysphoria and increase depression both pre- and post- partum. Something to look out for. All the trans childbearers, stay strong and youre amazing.

I'm a 16 year old trans guy, my boyfriend and I are planning on having kids around our late twenties to early thirties and I'm planning on getting pregnant for my first child and adopting for our second (we only want 2), and even though it scares and worries me, my heart knows that it'll be worth it and it'll make a huge impact on my life, mad respect to seahorse dads!

Re: injections of T..... I'm not a fan of needles either. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I would get woozy and even faint just doing the finger prick to check my sugar levels. I also passed out cold at the start of my first tattoo. When I had to start taking insulin, I was understandably not looking forward to that. The good news is that you learn to deal with it in short order. Jabbing myself is now easier than when others do it. So your viewer shouldn't live in fear of injections, but rather think of it as taking in their own hands their transition into who they know themselves to be. Do not be a prisoner to the fear.

The beard thing is such a silly thing. My husband who is a cis man can’t grow a full beard. He can barely grow a mustache and a little goatee. So people thinking only trans guys have patchy beards is just stupid.

Me: doing online work Jamie: Not today

The thought of getting pregnant honestly makes me want to throw up or throw myself into traffic

Thank you for these videos. As a cis and older woman, these are many of the questions we would love to ask the Trans people in our lives. Simply because it is interesting and fascinating. But we hold back, because many of the questions are simply too intimate. we dont want to view you, or have you think we view you, as anything other than who you are, but we also want to be able to understand your challenges. Channels like yours make this possible. Thank you ☺️

i feel really good being hugged when i'm binding because it makes me feel that i'm flat.

"theres a stereotype that all trans guys play ukulele" Me, learning bass: Wat

Thank you for answering my question! It felt very weird, even with permission, to ask a question that’s so personal just for my personal curiosity. You’re such a wonderful educator. I’ve been an ally for as long as I can remember, and the B in the LGBTQ+ sandwich, but the T is newer to me. I’m wanting to become a parent and on the chance I have a child that is trans, I want to know as much as possible about as many walks of life possible so I can be the most supportive parent possible, and to raise the best humans possible. 💖

My cis boyfriend totally has pms mood swings. We say he's MAN-struating

Not trans, but I just like listening to different people in the LGBT community share their struggles and expieriences

I remember having some of those questions when I first came out and now I realise how far I've come and how much I've learned

4:34 as your trans viewer in the military, the trans guy stereotypes are much more different then civilian trans guy stereotypes. For example; non-binary voice, being 5'6 or shorter yet built like freight train who can pick up an F-150 with one arm while carrying the M240 without breaking a sweat.

I've done testosterone via needle, patch, and gel. I did the needle method first, for about a month, and yes, you have to give yourself the shot. I actually started off fine, but I developed a fear of needles as time went on. Then, I switched to patch method. It was good for the most part, but sometimes afterwards you'll get a little red circle where the patch was, and it can be a bit itchy. Also, pulling it off feels like a band-aid, so keep that in mind. Right now, I'm on the gel. It's really good for me. It comes in a little pump-bottle, and you just rub it on. Super easy application, however, I've found it is easier to forgot to put it on. Usually (with the patch and needle method) you go to get blood taken every 3 or so months, however, with the gel, (at first, for about 6 months) you have to get blood taken once every month. It's a trade-off, and it depends on your preferences and your doctors. Edit: Feel free to ask me questions. I'd be happy to go into detail and explain stuff.

"I always think that unhappy people want to make people unhappy." Couldn't agree more Edit: I mean those who make others unhappy are probably unhappy themselves

For singing: It's a pain. I imagine knowing techniques will be helpful to keep it from cracking, but I never learned any, so it's been like 2 years and I'm only now starting to somewhat get the hang of it again lol

3:54 This is such a huge problem for me Most of the time I don't have dysphoria, sometimes it'll randomly hit me like a train unprompted. But most of the time I only get dysphoria around things like getting dressed to go outside, people using my 'real' name or she/her pronouns for me, or just saying I look pretty/nice when I'm forced to present feminine or complimenting something that's very girly about my appearance. But, these are all things that don't happen very often for me because I don't leave the house a lot, even before quarantine, and I avoid interacting with most people expect my boyfriend and some online friends so I still often get 'misgendered' or 'deadnamed' (in quotes because I'm only out to my boyfriend) because I live with my family. I'm never thrilled to be a girl, I never was I was always a tomboy child, I don't randomly go 'oh hell yeah I'm a woman, sweet' but most of the time it doesn't bother me and I don't feel dysphoric if I just don't think about it. I've never been one to care much about my appearance even before I started questioning my gender much less identified as trans so it's just kinda 'oh well that kinda sucks, I don't like that about myself' and just go on about my business. My biggest concern is I am trans, but I won't qualify for treatment.

Hey, Jamie, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Yesterday marked one year of me being on testosterone, and I have really found comfort and reassurance every step of my transition because of you and Shaaba and your videos. Even though we have never met, you are part of what gave me the courage to finally come out to my family. You make me believe I'm worthy of love and that someday I'll find happiness too. Having you in the world makes breathing a little easier. Hope this wasn't too cheesy, and that you have a wonderful day.

I have a question for you: So what I really want is to be able to go out shirtless. I am 12 and started puberty blockers about a week ago. If I start testosterone right after puberty blockers is possible for me to go out shirtless without surgery?

I’m not first, I’m not last, But when Jamie uploads, I click fast ♥️

I got soooo hugggy when I got my binder, I finally got to hug my friends without hating my chest. I’m binding for 2 years now and sometimes it’s sore and hugging indeed is uncomfortable so yeah it depends.

Hm.. no dislikes Just how it should be

I've been on T for ~2 months and my dad already said he can hear my voice is deeper.

With the stereotypes i think hoodies all year round

Hey Jamie, I got a question. I really, really want the paper plane- Trans Flag Merch pullover of yours. The problem is, that when I want something to buy from the internet, I need to get my parents buy it for me (As I don't have a bank account and stuff). However, my parents aren't that accepting when it comes to me being transgender, so I'm sure they definitely won't buy it, if they see that it has to do with being transgender (They don't know the flag btw). Anyway, my question is if it is possible to change the name of the pullover to maybe just "Paper plane" or something else? It would be really helpful for me because then I could get it, support you with it and yeah.. Would be cool if you answered but yeah just a question.

jamie, i just wanna say i've been watching your videos for a while, and i really can't state enough how much i appreciate your positivity, kindness, and willingness to answer the questions everyone has (even if they're sometimes a little silly or weird) in order to help other trans/questioning people and allies. you've got an incredible heart, and i wish you and shaaba all the best 💜🏳‍🌈

I absolutely love your content Jamie you're always entertaining but also informative

I'm running out of videos to watch... Uploaded 6 minutes ago. Perfect! Just what I needed

Discomfort over being hugged because of the chest area!? You just unlocked a whole vault in my brain of all the times I was literally too dysphoric to fucking hug and I would do side hugs or bend tf over to hug just to save my chest 😂

ps, thank you so much for answering these questions, and so openly and honestly - it really helps other people understand a bit more what your experience has been like / is.

Good questions, and very well answered. Thanks for being so open and honest.

I feel like the hug thing would hurt if you were trying to strangle someone, but if it’s a nice hug, then it probably won’t hurt? Just don’t hug aggressively :)

Oh! I have a embarrassing binder story. So basically I was wearing my binder and it was a bad washed out colour and I was wearing a baggy t shirt and my mum noticed the bad colour....then she found out I was wearing a binder 😐...then I told her I was trans... Then she told me I was a freak. Lol, so embarrassing 😜

Came across your channel last night randomly and starting paying attention because I adored you and your fiance's accents (lol I live in Florida) but stayed because I didn't realized it was a subject that I lacked so much knowledge on. Thank you for that. Have a great day 😊

It's almost 2am over here and I couldn't sleep because I was having too many thoughts and feeling sad about things but watching Jamie always manages to make me feel better. So thank you ♥️

This is very interesting. You explain so many things. That's nice.

i’ve recently started questioning my gender and feeling uncomfortable with who i am, and watching videos like this is really comforting for some reason.

Thank you very much for making this video Jamie! You answered many questions I was nervous to ask about.

Jamie, I want to thank you for the work you do on educating people. I am personally figuring out who I am, and your videos help me understand more the people I know and allow me to have a wider view on life. Thank you 😀

I love you Jamie. You’re just so sweet, and you always helps me feel better if I’m having a bad day.

Bro my dad came in (I’m closeted) and told me to sleep so I said ‘at the end of the video’ and he asked what the video was and I said a video then he asked educational? And I was like MmmMmMm? And he asked what it was educational about and I just sat there... in silence... god that seemed suspicious

I sent my mum your videos for her to understand my situation and we both love and appreciate your sharing

I'm taking a break from studying anatomy to watch this. I love your content!

I felt so relieved when you said your parents forget you're trans sometimes I'm still having a bit of trouble with mine (even if they're globally sort of okay) and that would be so nice Maybe in like ten years time xD

As YT comments get meaner and meaner over time, I just wanted to say : thank you! I really love watching your content and you're such a nice and relaxed guy! :) I'm always looking forward to a new video. Thank you very much and stay awesome :)

Awesome questions! Awesome answers, you gave me some feels with a few of them, also a few feels from people genuinely concerned about if something could physically hurt (like a hug) and about surgery recovery. Thank you to all the sincere questions and concerns, as well as wonderful answers 💖🥰👏✌✨👍

I thoroughly enjoy your channel! I watch yours more frequently than any other channel.

The whole area of singing and voice and sex hormone changing is really worth a video on it's own. I'm sure it must be quite the thing for anyone out there to be a singer and experience your voice break and shift around and then eventually change to a new normal in real time. The whole thing of what it is for a guy's voice to change isn't something I ever really noticed in my school days, but when a trans acquaintance I hadn't seen since he was a girl suddenly phoned, I remember assuming it was a different male friend. I wonder if anyone else thinks about how mind-blowing that is for a body to create. This thing that you have spent your life shaping around a particular language, that you've always heard the same way, this thing very intertwined with your very breathing, just kind of takes chemical cues and decides to do the male puberty thing, often some year after it normally would for guys and as far as I've heard there's no more vocal chaos than is usually the case when it happens for adolescents. Maybe I'm wrong and it's not consistently quite that similar or miraculis, but it seemed like it.

God that title, I must brace myself-

You could add this to the corresponding playlist. :) Thank you for talking about this.

Yes I started with part 3. Honestly have been more interested in your social experience so I can understand better and knew this series would end up being more biological. Honestly thought KZfaq was just recommending part 2 again since obviously I'm a subscriber so I want to watch all your videos, right algorithm? Anyways if you read this, I just wanted to thank you for your honesty, maturity, and bravery. Keep up the good work bro

that question about hugging had me like 😭😭😭 it was so sweet 🥰

For the singing question, your voice can get to the point of reaching high notes again. Your voice will be drastically different and like Jamie said, comes out as more of a breath. Mine used to come out like that but now I can sing high notes again. This is just my personal experience so this might not happen for everyone. (I'm 6 months on T)

I've learned so much in one video! Thank you so much Jammi :D

This is wonderful! I get questions solved I never knew I had! Thanks for sharing!

for every transphobe there are two frogs falling in love:)

I’m non-binary and I taught myself how to play the ukulele! Does that mean I’m actually a trans man!? 🤔 (It’s a joke based on those stereotypes)

Hi Jamie! Keep doing what you're doing and stay strong❤

As an enby, I sincerely appreciate how considerate you are answering questions about enbies. ❤️

Hey Jamie I’ve got a question have you experienced any differences in how people treat you when you were male or female? Did people assume you were going to do something based on how they perceived you? For example did people think you would be more aggressive when you were perceived as male. Thanks for the video it was cool

maybe one day someone will find this comment

Thank you so much for sharing these videos. This really helps me support my trans friends better. And your lovely approach to life makes me happy.

These are very helpful! Thank you.

I've been watching a lot of your videos because this girl I'm talking to is trans and I really like her so this is very informative, so thank you for doing these Q&As. I'm too nervous to ask her so I'm learning through KZfaq 😅

Fun fact: Male puberty makes your voice about an octave deeper

You are an excellent spokesperson! Please stay safe and healthy

Love your channel so much, your videos always bring a smile to my face 💗

when he said “You like what you like and your expression is different to your identity” just made my dysphoria go boom away

Hey Jamie! I'm early today, very abnormal. Question : have you ever drawn anything before/can you draw 😁 love your videos ❤️

As a doula I support all couples and birthing bodies. For those who want an insight into a trans male giving birth watch the film “Seahorse”. It’s really eye opening. I hope you and Shaaba have the chance to grow your family with all the support that you deserve.

I sing, and my range went from Alto-Soprano to Alto-Tenor-Bass with Alto being STRENUOUS and Bass being where i could probably stretch my range if i had voice lessons. you'll Never get your tinny high voice back from T, but what you get out of it is sooooo silky smooth~

I have a question: how did you come out to your parents? Any coming out ideas?

Big question: IS it okay for me to wear dresses still as a trans man? I like how comfy and flowy dresses are and like dressing in them but I'm not sure if that would make (I dunno the word)

Want to start off by saying that I love your videos, your sincerity and honesty has helped me a lot over the years. I'm 16 and have been out as trans for three years in the UK- I'm sure you are familiar with the whole process that young people have to go through with the NHS and everything. I was wondering if you could make a video on trans doubt, and how/if it has affected you personally. I know with me I've never experienced any personal doubt, but with the process taking so long and having so many questions coming at me from the outside, I often feel doubted by those around me and sometimes turn that on myself. It would be good to know if anyone has had a similar experience.

I feel like I didn't know any of these answers in general 😂. So I loved this video.

The first time I put my binder on I put it on backwards and couldnt get it off for ages, genuinely thought I was going to have to rip it after spending €60 on it

just right out asking a little question that bothers me a lot: Is it only me or it normal that it just emotionally hurts to see someone who already transitioned? I don't know why I feel like this, like i also feel happy for them if it helped them, but then it just hurts to see how far they got. I don't know why i feel like it, i don't know if it is normal, it certainly doesn't feel normal. I think it might have to do a lot with how i just can't make any progress due to my parents. I just don't want to feel bad because someone else made it that far in their life and are happy now. It just makes me feel even worse. But yeah... Is it normal to feel that way or am I the problem? Are there any things that help with it?

i had never considered that it's probably a good idea to shave pits before top-surgery, adding that to my list of things to do in prep :) thanks

Love your videos so so much . really educative

I forget I’m trans sometimes, especially after 4 years on T and 2yrs post top surgery. I have no bottom growth or increase of sensitivity, and I’m asexual, but I feel slightly ripped off.

Hi Jamie, just dropping by to say that I appreciate you! Ok bye!

Hi jamie! I love your videos and espaccially, that you answer questions, nobody else does. I am biligual and you (and shaaba aswell) are speaking fast. Could you please show the question in the video? Would be a lot easier to understand 1. the question itself 2. the context :) Thank you and stay awesome!

A form of transportation!!! Loved it

i cant sing high notes anyhow so i see this as an absolute win

“The red queen messenger” it’s what I like to call my pms

I have learned a lot from you. I have many gay friends, but have never met a transgender person. Thank you for being so open and honest for those of us that truly just want to become more informed.

This video was very informational for me, thank you

the positive from the cramps is that you're a guy who can empathise with your partner

"I had a lil impromptu waxing session, hmm hmm" laughed a bit too much at that part, sorreh

Loved this, Jamie! I hope you and the lovely Shaaba are safe and well😘😘 Much Love, from Ontario, Canada🍁...Keli💖

I'm late but I just wanted to say that I'm thankful for your openness about all these very personal questions. I don't feel like that I, as a person who isn't trans, am even entitled to ask. Also thanks to all of you who post comments, I am learning a lot from you. I never ask anyone I know or have met about this stuff because it never comes up and, in the moment, I don't even think about it so I don't even know if they would be okay with it
