The T in LGBT: Tea with Jamie Raines
Jamie Raines aka Jammidodger has over a million subscribers on YouTube. At the time of writing her latest post, uploaded three days ago, had already received 77 thousand views. It’s normal for her to get over one hundred thousand hits, or even millions of hits, for her posts.
Her current pinned post is ‘Bad Women’s Anatomy is Getting WORSE’. In it, she’s ‘natural’ and chatty on camera, including clips of herself tripping up over the phrase ‘trans inclusive’, which could easily be edited out, but clearly kept in to add to the aesthetic of her don’t care/affable persona.

There’s an overwrought endorsement from fellow heterosexual trans activist Fox Fisher, damning with faint praise from Christine Burns, but Daniel Harding, author of the book Gay Man Talking, gives it a thumbs-up. Nicholas also writes for Pink News and is just 26 years old (according to her Twitter bio).
