My 93 year old mother knows that there are 2 sexes, zero genders & 8 billion personalities. No one is born in the wrong body & it's ok to be gay. Stop gaslighting us Joanne & stick up for your sex. I don't give my consent to allow biological males into women's single sex spaces.

Your grandmother sounds like a sweet lady, but gender dysphoria is not something to take lightly and definitely should not be suggested as normal, especially to children. Sometimes tough love is needed to be heard in order to prevent people from harming themselves, not affirmation. I feel for these people too, but what if this woman is 14 yo again, what would you say to her to prevent what happened to her? P.s I like your videos bc you’re a cool person.

If individuals really just wanted the world to see them as they see themselves, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal. But they are DEMANDING that laws are changed and data markers are changed and it VIOLATES women's rights. So, respect to Grandma Ruby, but no.

How come she didn’t know anything about them? I thought they’d always been around?

I want to say that it is outstanding that you made space for your grandma and mom. You are blessed for caring for them.

If your 96 year old grandma needed intimate physical healthcare and she wanted a same-sex career would you be okay with that and honor her wishes?

You’re so brilliant and lovely. How lucky your students are to have you as their teacher. I’m sure grandma Ruby was incredibly proud of you. 🥰

Oh bore off with your be kind bs, it's not kind to lock men up with women, it's not kind to lie to women who require female only care. It's really not kind to be made to call the man who raped you she and it isn't kind to compel people to take part in anyone else's delusion!

Grandma Ruby was such a role model. But the answer to the question? Call Jo what you want. Just compliment the hair. It’s that easy 🤷‍♀️💙

My granny was the salt of the earth. She was kind, lived simply and was definitely true to herself. She definitely had her own mind. She had a gay son, uncle, who she loved and adored and visited him across country a lot. On the trans issue in these times, my granny would 100% say “do you take me for damned fool!”

So true. My mom passed very recently at 82. She’d been with her wife for 42 years and held no truck with discrimination of any kind. She wasn’t a “how is it your business” liberal; she was a “how can you justify cruelty” liberal. 💔

I’m so glad another one of your videos popped up! I told my clients about your airport video and how it had me laughing my ass off! Thank God I saw you again so I can follow you! 😁

That’s how it’s always been until people wanted to start teaching our kids in schools they can choose their gender which crosses the line.

Brilliant. I’m a grandpa, follow you, and have a question: where do you get your cool clothes? If I was young again I swear I’d dress like you. But I’d need my hair back. I’m so happy your grandmother felt the way she did about you. Peace and love my friend. Bear agrees ❤️🦦🪷

So obviously a lesbo, even grams knew it…she was just askin if you’re a he/him. No grams, just a regular lesbian, I’m just a girl that likes girls. But she’s definitely the stud of her relationships

@MelisaGillett OMG… this is the best thing I’ve heard in years… thank you so much for sharing. When I transitioned (the legal portion) and came out to parents who told grandparents… My 85 y/o grandmother called me at 6am on that Sunday and screamed and yelled every possible hateful name…

She could’ve gone her whole life without thinking she hurt someone’s feeling by calling them the wrong pronouns, then you stepped in, and made her think she’s an asshole. Bravo. The left is a cancer, and you look like a 12 year old boy.

I don’t think it’s being older that makes your Grandma lovely. I have met me many horrible old people in my days here on Earth. You first have to be a good person to be like her at 90

Omg this made my day. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you & I were long-lost cousins. The world would be a better place if we had more Grandma Rubies not only in it, but running it. Thank you for sharing. 💜

I have a similar story - Albertan RW son learns via tik tok that his future brother-in-law is a transgender man…he didn’t have a clue. It wasn’t a secret but I didn’t feel it was relevant to share. He calls and is very agitated. He was upset we didn’t think he’d handle 1/

You are a beautiful, strong and clever woman. It scares me to think how many young women like you are growing up in a culture that tells them they must be a man because of their interests, clothes and sexuality. Nothing is more homophobic and damaging to a young soul than that.

Your Grandmother Ruby sounds like my sweet Mother in law. We took care of her until her death at 98. We were so blessed to be able to do that the last 15 years of her life. I loved your answer.👍
