Have you tried wearing a corset? I've done it, and it's actually pretty easy riding a bike with a corset. I've done with skirts too by tying the extra material up, women's bikes were designed to accomodate skirts by angling the bar down instead of straight across. Anyway, corsets are extremely comfortable garments when worn correctly, especially if you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The extra hold really helps keep joints stable and I never feel quite as fatigued with one because my muscles aren't working so hard. I did a whole big fashion history research a while back when I heard someone else comment on the history of corsets and why they fell out of fashion! Turns out corsets were demonized and stigmatized during WWI because they wanted the silk and metal for war equipment, including parachutes. Silk stockings were likewise attacked and replaced with nylon, and then even nylon was yanked away because they found it was better for parachutes than even silk. Corsets were replaced by brassieres (bras), a thoroughly uncomfortable garment every bra-wearer claims to dispense with immediately upon returning home. IIRC the flapper era was largely affected by the corset demonization, too!

@@daedaliavallis9805 yeah! Corsets were basically just support garments!

I once saw some article from that time that said A woman riding a bicycle would make her gay (because of the way the seat was touching her)

@@daedaliavallis9805 corsets yes, but I can imagine it causing difficulty when added to an outfit that includes other slightly restrictive garments. I have corsets and love them but if I had to do certain activities, I definitely wouldn't wear other restrictive clothing with my corset because the corset would inhibit compensating for the other garments most likely. Just depends. Gardening in a corset or skinny jeans? Sure. Gardening in both? Unlikely I would subject myself to that unless forced

Yes! Dresses look amazing on everyone! anyone who feels happy when they wear a dress shouldn't be shamed or mocked for wearing one!

I agree!

yes!!!!! clothes are clothes it really doesn't matter

Bro just make ladybeard more well known. He's an absolute icon. Personally though you won't catch me in a dress, at least casually. Not for shame but for comfort.

Yes!! It's just cloth, after all

Lol. So it's totally cool to completely degrade women by only ever referring to them by what they look like to you just for the sake of making lgbtq people feel better about themselves?

That's just fussy. Language is context-based. The "perceived as" is implied if you establish it beforehand. You don't need to add roundabouts in conversation when just settling terminology at the start (or where communication breaks down) does the job perfectly fine and doesn't lengthen expression to the point it looks like a terms of service agreement. "People perceived as men, shortened to men for the sake of this video" would have done. It would have clarified that every "men" is preceded by "people perceived as" without wasting limited time and letting OP talk about additional things. And I'm sorry, I'm really for inclusivity. Well and truly. But there is a point where you're just fussing. And if you're being hurt that you being included is only stated at the beginning of a presentation and not every point where it can then that is just fussing.

@@chukyuniqul then it’s not for you? Just move on, it isn’t hurting anyone aside from you

@@bunnyfrosting1744 well excuse me from trying to share a flaw 8n communication that can be easily solved with no ill effects.

@@chukyuniqul cis ppl love making a point about trans people not being included in language 😚😚

Yes! I'd also like more menswear designed for people with breasts.

"we had nothing else back then" 😂😂😂

Well what is rayon but just scientifically complicated wood

Actually, They probably were wearing wood….. as buttons

As a matter of fact, busks were sometimes made of wood. Not so much in corsets, since the busks in those included (and still do include) fasteners so they could be put on and removed without unlacing, but stays generally had (and still have) a busk made of ivory or wood (well, I mean, people aren't exactly using ivory in stays anymore, but they do still use wooden busks). I think busks might have also sometimes been made of baleen, same as the stays' bones, but I'd verify that before quoting me on it. (To clarify, not every pair of stays was boned with baleen, some used bundles of reeds called 'bents'.)

Say it louder! I've just watched Karolina Żebrowska's video about corsets and have watched one of the collaborative ones some time ago and thought of that immediately

Yes!!! I was about to say this, but you say it better than I could!🍊

Jessica actually owns her own custom corsetry for her scoliosis (much like Bernadette, I believe) which also helps with EDS, so I'm pretty sure she wasn't demonising them! She has a video about going to be fitted for it and I think has said she wears it fairly often as a support garment There were definitely people in the dress reform movement who rejected corsetry as uncomfortable and unnecessary while others argued that they found it necessary for support and comfort - just like people do now with bras! Mentioning that the dress reform movement included the rejection of corsets in addition to dresses and petticoats isn't inaccurate, even if it's not the main reason for them going out of fashion

Louder please!

Where in this video did you get the implication that corsets were a symbol of oppression/uncomfortable? She owns a real corset herself and I believe what she said was true. Corsets were an expected/required aspect of women’s daily dress, and that idea was eventually challenged by feminists.

What I mean by that is that you don't need to use weird filters or gimmicks to have people listen to you. You could read me a very boring book and I would love every minute of it!

Your voice is so soothing and I would totally buy a Queer history Audiobook written and narrated by you! Thank you for teaching all of us the history that we need to know!

(By the way this is in no way intended as flirty, I just appreciate an intelligent, beautiful person who is using their platform to teach us Queer History often left out of history books!)

I like in normal skirts too. Except that classmate who used louse long black skirt with louse band shirt over it. That was a fashion crime.

@@AramatiPaz why is that a crime? Sound casuall and chilly to me. Like a jeans and a shirt.

I bet it would look just perfect in you! Please give me an update what you wear, and what the reactions were and how you felt. Also, Theater is made up. Would they be mad too, because you could play a murderer? We had only 2 men, and 9 women, so, I, as a woman, played also as a man. Like, what is the problem?

She did, here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc2qo7xlvNycYYk.html

People perceived as men have always displayed their evolutionary fitness by enduring restricted bloodflow, high temperature, excessive humidity and pain.

The female genitalia needs more air circulation otherwise the humidity can cause a rash or possible infection in the vagina.

"AMAB," & "AFAB?" (Assigned Female At Birth) (Assigned Male At Birth)

No, because some people might be perceived as male or female, but they aren't. But still people treat them like that. And she wants to include this people. For example: you could have XY chromosomes, but look like a woman, but don't feel like a woman. So you are not a woman, not a man, but you are perceived as a woman. And treated as such. Or you are a transwoman, you don't look like a woman (yet, because you didn't or just started your transitioning etc.) So people perceive you as a man, but you aren't. And then there are just feminine looking boys and masculine looking girls, and people are always confused what gender they are. So yeah, there are a lot of people, "perceived as" just describes a lot better.

How is using the word "perceived" while talking about genders in thr past creepy?

How is percieved creepy? If you look at someone and assume they're one gender or another, you are perceiving them as that gender. You perceive everything you look at, because percieve is just a synonym for appear or see
