Hey guys! Thanks for the positive response on the video so far, so glad to see your lovely comments, really hope this can help some of you :) Just want to say a massive thank you (and credit) to Shaaba who helped film, and then edited this video! Couldn't have happened without her - go check out her channel here: kzfaq.info/love/jZ97eKgNwC4j-z_6LDjfIg

“You’re pregnant?!” “NO! Ugh!!”

"I'm lesbian" "you mean gay?" "nope, I'm lesbian" "but you're a guy" "that's where you're wrong kiddo"

Me: I-I'm transgender. Mum: What does that mean? Me: NOTHING BYE.

I started wearing a pin that said ‘THEY’ on it for days, after about a week my dad just kinda laughed and said ‘Ari, I get it, you’re nonbinary’ I replied with ‘no, I’m 7 rats in a trench coat’ he has a pretty good sense of humour :)

the funniest "coming out" thats happened to me so far is when i sent someone a snapchat saying "im trans" and they answered with " you like trains????"

Its funnier if you pretend they were all the same day

Imagine writing that entire letter and then your dad is like “Junk”

I was scared as shit to come out to my dad. I called him on the phone, and I start this big talk, voice all shaky, and finally I just say it- I'm a guy, I'm trans. And then he literally says "well, duh." It was the best thing ever- apparently he'd guessed at it for quite a while and was waiting for me to tell him, or maybe for me to realize it myself, lol. He said the moment I called him saying I had "something big to tell him" he knew immediately I was going to come out to him as trans. Literally, that entire thing could never have possibly gone better than that.

I'm literally going to say 'I'm Tarzan' instead of coming out

I left my parents a card that said "it's a boy" but crossed out the "it's" and wrote "I'm"

“You’re pregnant?” At that point I probably would’ve given up

MY COMMING OUT: my father asked me how my day was and i answed: "pretty gay" because i couldnt decide between pretty good and okay. .-.

How to come out of closet 1.) open the door 2.) step out 3.) dismantle the government

If you're an only child who's also trans and gay you could say "hey hey your son is gay" then when they say they don't have a son just be like "I am your son"

i came out to my brother by saying "i'm straight but i don't like men". he didn't get it and i had to explain it to him..

My daughter made it official by sending me a meme and I will treasure that forever. From a parent's perspective I can confirm that there truly is no wrong way to tell us, that every way is the right way. I fully understand how difficult it is for all you transgender people out there, but we are here for you and we will love you unconditionally (and if you are unfortunate to have a so-called parent who doesn't, then hit me up and I will tell you how proud I am of you and I will listen to your stories, I promise

I can confirm this is 100% how Jamie dances in the club. Best of luck to everyone who plans on coming out 💛

Maybe if I get one of those “it’s a boy” banners, maybe my parents would actually be less freaked out that I’m not in fact pregnant 😂

I came out to my parents as pansexual. I had been hinting at it for months but they didn’t seem to notice. They accepted me right away...then a couple minutes later asked me what pansexual meant 😂

I came out to my Dad as a trans man today and it went so well and I feel so lucky and relieved. My Dad is a huge Star Wars fan, so I told him by saying that he has something in common with Tattooine. He has two sons. It took him a little bit, but he realized what I meant and all he asked was if this would make me happy. I said yes and he hugged me and said that that was all he cared about. I cried.

one time I tried coming out to my dad as trans while playing the board game Life; so I put a blue person in my car and waited for it to sink in with him until I remembered that he's color blind :'^)

11) send them videos like this until they take a hint

I sent my mother a trans coming out meme and she responded with "no ur just following the crowd" And still to this day I am misgendered :)

I died at the tarzan part "dear what do you mean your tarzan" "YEAH AND WHAT" *bangs on chest and runs away sreaming* I'M DEAD 😂😂

I remember feeling like a complete wreck trying to tell my dad. and my dad's girlfriend already knew so I begged her not to tell him. I told him last year in May on the way to work, and he looked at me for two seconds staring. and then he busted out in song, I'll make a man out of you from Mulan. one of the most anticlimactic moments of my life.

It's a boy Jamie,s dad: you're pregnant Got me burst out laughing

*My Friend Is Gay And He Came out by Walking Into Our Form Class And Playing The Song "It's Okay To Be Gay" on a speaker... I luv that son of a biscuit*

so I came out to my dad last night he basically said "idk... It's normal to hate everything about yourself at your age" and I'm starting to realize just how messed up my family is.

I kept forgetting to imagine you as pre-T so I expected them to think that you'd got somebody else pregnant.

I can feel the teenage angst through the screen

This helped I'm trans and gay,my friend calls me homosapian

You’ve given me the confidence to tell my sister that I’m a girl. Thank you. It’s one step closer to telling my parents. Thank you

I plan on getting top surgery and starting T, then climbing through a window at my dads house and yelling "yo I'm your SON" Edit: I just found this from ages ago, I came out to my family around three years ago and it went great! Thanks for the support in the comments!

Jamie as dad: *dances * Me:... Honestly, me on the weekends.

i straight up asked my mom for a binder and she still thinks i’m cis 😳😳😳 also i have a masculine “nickname”, oliver, and my sister has referred to me using that nickname right in front of her before

My friend came out to me in middle school by writing their new name (new to me) in my yearbook at the end of the school year. I almost didn't notice because they had signed it and it was almost illegible compared to the good summer wishes they wrote. I asked them what it said because I could at least tell that it was a different first letter. So they awkwardly explained that it was a different name. I was so honored that they felt comfortable and close enough with me to even tell me something like that because as far as I know, they came out to most other people by correcting their teachers on the first days of class the following September.

"Dad. We need to talk. I'm Tarzan" I would just leave it at that XD I'm sure my father would accept me a bit more if that were the case XD

Jamie your dad dancing killed me

5:22 Bake a cake and dye the batter. Ice plainly. When the cake is sliced into and whoever you're coming out to sees the color, cheer and say "I'm a [gender]!" Nothing can go wrong when there's cake.

“Hey mum, I’ve got something to tell you” “Sure, what is it?” “I can’t quite seem to find the proper words...” “C’mon sweetie, don’t be scared” “Uhh... I don’t know, im too scared of your reaction” “C’mon darling. Are the girls bullying you again?” “No its not that” “What is it then?” “Uhhh... try to guess” “No, tell me.” “I’m... im a trans woman” “Oh... okay... wanna pick another name? :)” **silently dying inside**

*spits* "......you're pregnant?!?!"XD

Just sit in a closet and wait for someone to look for you and jump out as they walk by

The dad in this situation is so clueless I love it.

When I struggled to tell my mom she noticed something was going on and sat me down and went like "it's no problem when you're lesbian..." and looking back at it it was quite hilarious considering my sister was a closeted lesbian at the time

The Tarzan one killed me 😂😂😂

EVERYTIME HE DIDN'T GET IT, I GOT SO SAD, BUT IT WAS ALL OKAY AS SOON AS I SAW JAMIE IN A CROP TOP

Today is the day I’m telling my mom I’m finally telling her I’m Tarzan

It always upsets me seeing how scared people are to come out to their family. I’m scared too, that’s why it’s upsetting. You could have the nicest parents, the most accepting parents, and you can still be terrified of coming out. The Tarzan one was hilarious though, they all were.

You as your dad is the funniest thing ahaha

once, i was coming out to 3 of my internet friends and, instead of saying something, i just sent them a card that’s usually intended for the first time parents find out what their future baby’s sex is that said: ‘It’s a boy!’

Me: writes a letter about how I'm transgender, etc Mom later: excuse me, [Deadname] , but what is transgender? Me: **Nervously sweating**

A funny way to come out is to write this on a letter: “Dear parent/s the hospital was wrong it’s a boy/girl”

Who else thinks Jamie would make the best dad

When I came out as bi I left a letter for my Mum and dad, they found it and thought I’d run away, came charging up to my room and found me still asleep.After they woke me up they read the letter and were like, “yeah sweetie no shit...” 😂😅❤️ Good luck to anyone who is coming out ❤️💛💚💙💜

I came out with a joke: You're looking a little see through, almost Trans-Parent Because I'm trans. I think i stole the joke from somewhere but icr.

Autocorrect is so relatable. To prove my point, my phone decided to turn “relatable” into “reliable” twice while I was typing this comment.

I came out to my mom in a Walmart parking lot lol

I was also nervous about telling my dad; he's a little more stubborn and close-minded than my mom. I wasn't afraid he'd be angry or anything, mostly I was just scared he wouldn't believe me. Lucky for me, my dad broke the ice for me. He came to me and said if I ever needed to talk to him about anything, like my sexuality, he was here for me. So I, y'know, took the opportunity. He did indeed believe me; mostly he was just worried for me, but you can't keep your parents from being worried about you.

I'm gonna come out by sending this video to my parents Update: I showed them the video and they didn't get the hint so I just told them. Their response was basically, "I'll love and support you no matter what, you'll always be our daughter" 😭

I just recently came out to my sister. She's pan, and knows the pride flags and stuff, so that's why this worked so well. So basically I made brownies earlier on in the day and saved her some, 'n offered to do the dishes with her. I downloaded a picture of a trans flag and while we were taking a break, said, "Hey, do you wanna see a cool picture?" I showed her the flag and immediately got hugged.

That was funny. Our son just told his Dad out right. His Dad was upset at first, but is totally fine with it now.

My dad was teaching me how to change a tire when I came out to him. I liked that because I had an excuse to not make eye contact. His response was "well you're already pretty man-ish so I guess it won't be much of a difference". The only thing he needed to get used to were the pronouns and the name change.

I tried going the outright “I’m trans” way and then that failed because I couldn’t say it (got too scared to do it) so now I’m going to just bake a gender reveal cake and give my parents a heart attack first by letting them think I’m pregnant (ew) Either that or I’m doing something related to Hamilton (which we’ve all seen and love). “Son, I need you alive-“ “CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME. Please. Seriously, please do it again.”

Cheerleader Jamie encountering Dad Jamie is the one of the most adorable thing on KZfaq.

I came out by going for a walk and texted my parents and waited for a response without having to actually talk to them. They were really accepting and nice and honestly they totally expected it. I texted my gran later and she was just as accepting and now all my family and friends know. Some of my friends still refer to me as she/her because they’re awkward about it and afraid to say the wrong thing but everyone uses Alex and most of them he/him pronouns. The only people who doesn’t know is my extended family on dad’s side of the family, and let’s just say I’m not going to the family Christmas dinner. This story is from a hardcore Christian family, my mum works as a full time priest and I go to church every Sunday. I wanted to just let you know how well it went for me even though the odds might’ve been against me. Of course, never come out unless you’re ready and if you might be in danger, but I haven’t regretted it a singe time. Coming out was probably the best experience of my life. :)

#10 ended like a cliffhanger to a tv drama

When I told my brother, he just said “damn, I kinda don’t care”

Im genderfluid and im scared to come out....

I want to tell my family it's just I'm really not good at explaining myself or getting my point across- especially if I'm nervous. I also don't want to write a letter as I still find that really hard to do and I feel like it's a little dramatic(?) for my family. Like, I don't want to make it a big deal if that makes sense. I'm kind of stuck on what to do I've been trying for 3 years.

OMG Jamie I loved this video. One of your best actually! I thought closeted you had nailed it with the straight-up no-nonsense text but I never saw "I'm Tarzan" coming. xD Funnily enough I always wanted to be Tarzan before coming out as trans lol

Instructions unclear, I am now locked in my closet and the house is on fire. Send help.

I came out to my whole school by wearing a pride flag while my friend Sophia walked behind me and waved it around. Thanks Sophia lol

Hi there, Tarzan.

i'm thinking of just saying 'i need to talk to u abt something!!' bc there's no backing out:p

If I told my dad, it would be: Me: Dad, I'm trans Dad: Cool! ...what does that mean?

*there's something I need to get off my chest*

Imagine having to come out to your dad when you already have a beard

I’m gonna come out as trans to my mom with the help of my therapist soon. My mom can be open minded but she gets wrapped up in older thinking. After my brother (they’re okay with me calling them my brother) came out as non binary my mom was completely okay with it. Same with the furry community, she believed they were all low life degenerates, but after my brother taught her otherwise she was super supportive. Plus she really trusts what my therapist says, so it’ll hopefully help her understand

I've been depressed all my life and I always think that something's wrong with me. A lot of things are wrong with me actually. I just thought that I'm a supreme weirdo. Until I got into meditation and self-acceptance practice, and suddenly all is figured out: that I'm actually a boy all along. It all suddenly make sense, and that's the exact shoes that I'll be fitted in. I was in constant denial and kept refusing the thoughts every time it came across since I came from a mildly religious Muslim family--in the biggest Muslim country in the world. This pain me bad. I knew I could never came out or they would kick me out of the house and or even send me somewhere to 'cure' me and violate my rights as a human being. My mother had kick me out of the house before only because I cut my hair off. Now I know that perhaps I wouldn't get the skin that I wanted or live the life with my own proper identity in this world. And if that's the case, I'll be alright. Even though I wish, I hope, a miracle will appear. But I would never be able to live a life as a woman. I could never get married, and I could never mingle in society with my current state. My plan is to find a decent job and buy me a nice house to separate me from my family and all of the people. And just live in isolation until the end of my times. I wish you all a happy and fulfilling life.

This video made me SOOO happy! XD As a transboy myself, I didn't get to come out (school unfortunately did it for me) and my parents/entire family didn't take it too well. Your videos give me a lot of hope for my future tho! I'm so glad you're here making these awesome videos and making me laugh while you're at it. I'm giving a big like and I want you to have a fantastic day :) (also I love your t-shirts they're awesome)

Hahaha, I wish I could had came out to my dad in a funny way, he saw me crying and then we had the talk. But I'm glad he accepted me :) Great video, Jamie!!! XD And good luck everyone!!!!!!! XD

"Swiggity swirl your son is now a girl" -me

Well, I actually got an idea from your autocorrect one! I could send my parents a text ( or just my mum I suppose, I dont have my dad's number hah ) that said " Mom Im like transgender ". Now I know that sounds a bit improper, but hear me out. If she gives a good response like " thats okay sweetie, I love you no matter what. Does this make you my son? " Then I can just be happy and glad yeah. If she gives a bad response, like " Im disappointed " Then I can just say " OOf I meant tarzan Hah. Autocorrect failed me. I was saying this because I climbed a tree lol " and it goes well either way! ( unless she says shes disappointed, then itd be bad, but at least she wouldnt know I was trans )) This all coming from a young kiddo who's pretty sure he's trans(It'd be FtM) and is just watching videos like these to see if I can find myself in em I guess lol, Im thinkin ahead of myself!

I am planning on tying a helium "It's a boy" balloon (I work at a party shop) to a package containing two shirts I made saying "I ❤️ my trans son" and a note signed by Jamie. Does that sound like it would backfire?Thanks, you're one of my favourite people at the moment.

My friend took the flag approach he wore it all day at school even throughout gym

This video helped me so much! I think a few more days and I'm ready to tell my parents that I'm trans! Thank you for posting this video!

--me watching this as if I'll ever actually have the courage to tell anybody--

6:20 those look so much like my sheets omg I just realized I've been sleeping in the trans flag colours all this time

I doubt anyone will see this but one way you can come out is if you are in school and your parents talk about your day at dinner you can say something like this. "So how was your day at school today? " "Good" You can say or anything else. "Did you learn anything today? " "Yeah. So quick question. In health ( or what ever class you think would work) we were talking about genders and they gave us a piece of paper that had a few questions on it. They had things like do you have more male or female friends ( you can use any question you want) and one question asked if we were a boy or a girl and I put boy" ( again use the gender you are. So if your ftm and you want to be called Tim, boy you can say 'I put boy' or if you are mtf and want to be called Fiona, girl you can say 'I put down girl') then ask, "Are you okay with that" If yes then say. "Okay (cool, great, thanks. What ever word you want to use) but can you call me" Then say your preferred name. If they are not okay with it just say something simple like "It was just a dare (pick a name) told me to do" Or you can try to explain that you are Transgender. I don't know if this will work I never used it. This is just an idea that you can use. If it goes bad cover it up with a different topic or class. Be safe when coming out. I know it is scary but please make sure you will be safe when doing it and have a backup plan just in case it all goes horrible. Stay safe.

As he hanged up the "ITS A BOY" sign I first thought, that the dad would be like "You got someone pregnant?" and then I realised "wait... no" brainlag at it's best xD

Here's a cheer you could do: C-I-S-G-E-N-D! E TO THE R THAT IS NOT ME! *Idk how to say the tune but like you can figure it out*

I’ve been super scared to come out to my parents bc I don’t know what they think about trans people and they’ve made some trans-related jokes- This vid gave me a little boost in confidence! Probably not coming out anytime soon but I feel better about it ^^

RIP bed. So much abuse. 😂🖤 Thanks for making this video 🖤

“It’s a BOY” “You’re pregnant?”

hi! my name is Felix, my pronouns are he/they, and i've fairly recently discovered that i'm trans. i'm not exactly sure what to call it, because i feel that i'm both a boy and non-binary, so if anyone has a word for that, please let me know because i'm really confused! i'm coming out to my close family on christmas either with a song and dance or maybe some sort of card. maybe i'll make a keynote presentation with one slide that just says "i'm trans" and then i'll jump out the window before they can react because i am fucking terrified. i know they'll accept me but it's kinda scary - it feels like my old life is about to be gone permanently. i'm worried they'll be hurt that i didn't like who i was, i'm worried i'll turn out to be wrong, i'm worried about my extended Trumper family finding out, i'm just worried. anyway though, good luck to all my LGBTQIA+ folks out there planning to come out! you are loved

I came out to my mom and brother via email. I told my mom that she could tell any family members that she wanted to. She told my aunt, but said that I should personally come out to my grandparents. I wrote a letter to my grandparents coming out as trans and thankfully my family is very accepting!

I started watching and was really emotional over Jamie trying to ask his mum to tell his dad until I heard Shaaba voicing his mum and cracked up. Sorry Jamie.

I’m a guy who wants to be a girl, I still love you for who you want to be. I’m pansexual and transsexual! ❤️☮️🏳️‍🌈

No way... Before 2 hours I had a serious conversation with my parents about me being the way I am and after a lot of crying, emotions and talking they accepted me for who I am! Right after the conversation ended and my parents went to their room I returned back to mine as well, went to my pc seeing this video. What a coincidence I can't stop laughing! :D For all of you who still haven't come out to your parents or friends (the people you love and trust), it needs a bit of time and understanding. People are different and everyone takes things differently, but those who truly love you will surely accept you the way you are. This step is difficult for everyone and it takes time to get the confidence about it. For me it took me about half a year to slowly start coming out to everyone. First to my very close friends, then to my classmates. It was easy for me to tell them since I know my people and I knew for sure that they will accept me. But the situation for my parents was completely different. When I tried talking about the things that make me uncomfortable, their reaction was sharp and unexpected. They weren't ready to know and I just felt it with my intuition. Half a year ago I knew this would be a very difficult but important step in my life. So how I started to show my parents that I am not what they think and wanted me to be? I first started with removing my earrings. My mom was against it but after 2 or 3 weeks she gave up and allowed me to remove them. While shopping I was taking clothes from the male section and eventually my wardrobe changed with the clothes I feel comfortable in. Soo time and time passed. Before a month I decided that I was ready to cut my hair. I did so and today I finally had the feeling that I'm ready to talk with them. They knew that something wasn't alright. We started talking and I told them. They took it surprisingly well! It was difficult but very worth trying. With time I gained the confidence needed and I did it. I hope all of you will have supportive people by your side! Oh and Jamie, thank you so much for everything you did and for trying to help people with your funny and yet useful videos! Thank you a lot!
