What I Missed Out On Being Raised a Girl (& What I Gained)

Inspired by a line from the Barbie press tour, a reflection on those things we miss out on, as binary trans people raised a different gender from who we are now… and what everyone can miss out on when we only allow them to see or fully enjoy half of the world.

A B O U T M E

👋 I'm Jackson Bird and I make (hopefully) funny, (sometimes) educational videos for LGBTQ+ nerds like me – and the people in our lives that want to understand us better.

Here on JACKISNOTABIRD, you can find new videos (roughly) once a month sharing my experiences as a bisexual trans guy, answering questions about LGBTQ+ issues, exploring trans history, and sometimes showing what happens when you put weird stuff on a waffle iron.

Beyond this channel, I'm a writer, podcaster, performer, public speaker, and pub quiz host. You can learn more about my work at http://jacksonbird.cool

If you want to hire me to speak at your school, event, or business, you can email my speaking bureau at [email protected]

Writing inquiries can be directed to O'Connor Literary at [email protected]

Please send other business inquiries to [email protected]
