The accurately titled “CEO of aggressive allies” gave a TikTok masterclass on why normalising pronouns is an important sign of allyship.
With pure boss vibes, Jackary ā also known as @jackary17 on the video-sharing app ā has continuously proven why it’s important to stand up for others like a friend when theyāre being bullied with his unique brand of aggressive humour.
For Pride month, he posted a video where he, a āstraight white manā, educated a viewer on why itās crucial to treat LGBT+ people with respect and ānormalise pronounsā in bios.
The person commented on a previous video to ask why Jackary included his pronouns in his bio, adding there is āno way you are a transgenderā.
Jackary rolled into the screen on his gaming chair before propping his legs up while ACDCās iconic guitar riff to āBack in Blackā played in the background. Thatās the kind of power move energy Jackary brought to his baby-Yoda-holding-a-rainbow-flag table.
With a can of Miller Lite in hand, he declared the reason he included his pronouns was because of āpeople like you, dips**tā before taking a sip.
@jackary17 The straight white man is here to educate and class is in session #pridemonth2021š„°š³ļøāš #lgbtqš³ļøāšā¤ļø
āIād also like to point out that you canāt say someone is āa transgenderā because itās an adjective,ā the TikToker added. āTo say someone is āa transgenderā is, how do you sayā¦ offensive.ā
He then shared he is not trans but a āstraight, cis, white manā who wanted to help normalise putting pronouns in bios.
āIf people like me put pronouns in our bios, it becomes normalised so f*****g t**ts like you donāt comment s**t like this on the accounts of people who are trans,ā Jackary explained. āItās about normalising pronouns.ā
Over 2.1 million people watched Jackaryās impressive display of allyship with hundreds of thousands liking it on TikTok. One user shared they loved āaggressive ally contentā while another declared Jackary is āinvited to Prideā.
āThis is absolutely the correct energy,ā a viewer wrote.
In another video, Jackary responded to someone who claimed ācis white men need our timeā and that they wouldnāt ārespect anyone elseā.
This time, the TikToker came armed with a study tool to help educate the ignorant commenter on what happens when āyou come for my LGBTQ+ famā.
āYou strike me as the kind of person who does better with pictures as opposed to words so Iām going to explain this to you with a study aide,ā he said, holding up a whiteboard.

He drew a line with two points on it to illustrate āall of human historyā from the beginning of time to the current day. Jackary instructed the person to āwatch carefullyā as he showed what part of the timeline ācis het men have ownedā.
He circled all of it.
āYou know it really says a lot about oneās character when youāre so self-obsessed and so arrogant that ā heaven forbid ā someone whoās different from you gets a little bit of recognition after several thousand years of people like you running the show,ā Jackary said.
Mic drop. Deceased.
