am i a boy or a girl?

hey everyone, i apologise if some of the artwork/editing in this video feel a bit lacking compared to some of my other stuff. the truth is i've been having issues with my hands & wrists that have been getting worse as of late (it's looking like rheumatoid arthritis), that made it difficult to use a pen or mouse & keyboard at times. but, i just really wanted to get this video out on my birthday (16th), as it's very fitting due to being pretty important! Though, this will be my last "major" video of the year (i have one more small "bonus" video coming in a couple of weeks). as i haven't had a proper holiday since the pandemic started (you kinda forget when you're not allowed to travel lol), i will be taking december off to rest, visit family, and come up with some new video ideas (i already have some cool ones in mind 👀). i know youtube has some issues telling people about uploads so i'd recommend hitting the notification bell if you haven't already so that you will know when i've returned! in the meantime as i mentioned towards the end of the video, i've relaunched my merch store! i'm working with a new provider now and i'm really happy with the quality and some of the ideas they've helped me come up with. if you're interested it's still at www.chipflake.shop/ as usual, if you wanna get some stuff for christmas now's a good time! thanks for watching this video and supporting me in general. i was a bit anxious to post this but it's something that's really important to me that i've been wanting to talk about for a long time (not just to stop the annoying comments lol). i hope you can understand, but i'm probably not going to read the comments on this video too much for my personal mental health. even if your community is super wholesome and supportive, someone will always find a way to say something gross. so i apologise if any of those types of comments get through, obviously if i don't delete it it doesn't mean i support it. please just do me a favour and don't respond to those people, just report the comment and move on. 9 times out of 10 those people don't even believe what they're saying and are just trying to provoke a reaction out of you but yeah, thank you again for supporting me through almost 5 years of Chipflake videos, and 920k (!) subscribers, it genuinely means so much to me and i really hope i dont have something seriously wrong with my hands so i can continue making animationssssss :'

honestly i don't think i've ever considered chip's gender, he's always just been chipflake.

"I'm hot, but also I hate how i look" Such an enormous mood dear god

As a person who always thought you were a guy, I see this as a total win.

So incredibly proud of you dude. Much love.

Bruh why is everyone arguing over this, he's clearly a cat. edit: to everyone arguing on why i said "he", imma be real with you, i've only watched the first minute of the video. and i don't really care what gender they are, cause i'll probably never interact with them in my life. though if that day comes, i'll either watch the video or directly ask them.

Takes some real confidence coming out to 1.09 million people, good job man.

Chipflake: "Misinformation about people is spread too much in my coments" Me: "Chipflake's ears aren't triangle shaped, they are accually three-sided squares that just spin really slowly."

"I've always said furry, not furry" meanwhile me questioning whether I got severe hearing loss because it sounds exactly the same...

-"Who are you, a boy or a girl?" -"Hey there, I am the animator behind Chipflake..."

this funny British cat has interesting things to say i like

I watched this video at least 5 times by this point, but after each and every time, the more I feel like crying. Everything is too relatable...

"I deserve to be happy" One of the most important statements for everyone who suffered/suffers from depression

I don’t care whether your new voice is “better”—I care if it makes you feel happier to be yourself ❤️

thank you for making this video! It's really comforting knowing that other people also struggles with their identity, and can figure things out and become happier, have a career and be successful. And yes, we deserve to be Happy. ❤

by far the most relatable story time animation I've ever watched, it feels like my own story got told by someone else

Your new voice is so cool 👏

“It’s as if there would be fandom about the colour orange” ah yes, The Netherlands

This video changed my day and probably my life. I'm passing through some problems with sexuality and gender identity. I already talked to my parents because I couldn't hold it anymore. They said that "I'm too young". My dad explained the reason behind that, and as I expected he said "I'm too young because I do not have a lot of experience in my life" and I really understand it... but it's a lot to hold until my 16 years. This video could make me feel like someone understands me and know that people that I do not even know went through it or is going through it. I tried talking multiple times what I feel about me and my gender but I kept it for so much time that I do not even know who I am anymore. if you are passing through the same thing as me, I want you to stay strong and do not change because of what others say. (and there is bullying in schools because of that even today)
