Throughout his life Michael Jackson was misunderstood in many respects. His looks, manner and behaviour was often questioned and ridiculed by the tabloid press.
It is clear from the outside that the King of Pop didn’t conform to conventions expected from heterosexual males and that Jackson possibly faced a full on identity throughout his life. Could these trials be attributed to unresolved issues surrounding his gender identity? And how did the wider public react to Jackson as a transgressive figure in mainstream pop?

“Nobody questioned it why post this” yes they did, many people said Michael wanted to be a woman. Or at least wanted to look like a woman, this video is very informative and if you actually watch it, you are given evidence of when he was accused of being a woman. This video gives good detail about how the world, mainly America was scared of openly gender fluid people. This account has never posted current ongoings in the world, it’s a history book (sort of) so these random videos are as random as the rest.
It also never says he was transgender, just explores the possibilities that he might of been and gave reason to why he did the things he did and why he looked that way. Video doesn’t bash or scrutinise him. If you want to be a a fan that ignores the harsh stuff do not watch these videos.
I'm from Philly I cannot believe you have Jim Gardner in your video that's crazy he's a legendary news anchor in the Philly area who just recently retired
Michael had Lupus and Vitiligo. His appearance was affected by it and he had to adapt by using makeup and wigs.
This video is ignorant because it's based on the false premiss that MJ changed his looks on purpose.
This has to be the most modern and forward thinking description of Michael Jackson.
Could you guys please cover his involvement in Sonic 3?
I didn't start start appreciating this video til the last 2 minutes 😭
It doesn’t take a genius to know Michael Jackson was fluid around gender and didn’t feel the need to label himself as one particular identity when it came to expressing himself physically. His mannerisms, his clothes, makeup all scream he was not following gendered structured roles.
However, Michael had a reputation to keep up through his family and record label. His biggest consumers were girls/woman and so he had to constantly appeal to them for revenue. Even if he was struggling, image is more important and so I believe he kept that mysterious and curious character on purpose because if he was blunt about his identity things could of gone downhill and so he intentionally kept that the way it was.
Some of his fans have a hard time accepting his non conforming identity because they try so hard in wanting to make him look “normal” to the rest of the world forgetting that MJ was a unique person who was ahead of his time and didn’t follow labels which is why they’re going to be critical about this video. People are harsh on what they don’t understand.
If he was alive and retired today seeing how progressive the LGBT+ has become and his own daughter coming out, I do believe he would of been more comfortable publicly speaking on his gender fluidity and sexuality and understanding himself along the way.
Michael era un ser diferente, no trans, no gay, simplemente diferente , su signo lo definia demasiado ( virgo, el signo mas timido, introvertido, solitario, " femenino", perfeccionista, ) juntando todas esas cualidades, es facil entender porque era asi , a eso le sumas la religion en la que fue criado ( testigo de jehova ) y tienes como resultado a michael jackson … no tiene nada que ver con trans, ni gay…no traten de etiquetarlo con las mierdas actuales que estan de moda…
People are stupid. but more than that they are afraid to the unknown. This is going to open many doors but will also make MJ hate more. Is it. Wort. It ? Well the greater good is always. Worth it. It will hopefully change the perspective of the trans people. Only Michael can have that much. Of an. Impact. Although this is very risque to label him . Nobody should be outed out. We have to respect his suffering. But than again. We have to progress as a society. He is our friend. Our idol. Person to. Fall in. Love, person to just be entertained by. He was there. For us.
Again that. Picture on the magazine saying' Freak' is photoshopped. By tabloids. It's fake.
C’est vraiment lui en talons aiguilles ??? 🤮
If Michael wore wigs it was because of his accident related to Pepsi and if he wore makeup it was to look more normal because of his skin disease which was vitiligo and Lupus.
Who is accepted by all?
Whoever is responsible for this video is one of the reasons our society is becoming more disrespectful and classless. I'm here because so many people told me about this irrelevent video. There is so much to say about this video, I'd rather just call "Bulls**t" and move on. Get a life and stop destoying others just becuase you dont mind looking like ! I hope this dude pays for his evil words
Everyone knows that The Detail is weird. Go and get an education then go and get a clue! Sick minds are what you flaunt and display with pride??? I'm glad I was NEVER a subscriber! You NEED Jesus! Leave the Jackson family alone!!!
This video is trash and so is this channel. Zero credibility. MJ was a straight, masculine man. Stop spreading lies. He had girlfriends, he was married, he was in love with Diana Ross, and love songs were about women. YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM IN DRAG, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. WE LIVE IN THE INTERNET ERA, IT IS NOT HARD TO FIND THE TRUTH. Lies are from the devil, so what does that make you?
Ради Бога, не делайте из Майкла трансгендера, гея и прочее. В современном западном мире, это просто всплеск извращенного поведения, схожего с массовым безумием. Есть интервью Майкла Джексона, где он сам рассказывает, как в детстве испытывал отвращение, когда выступал в клубах с братьями, и выдел как переодеваются мужчины в женщин, в интервью Шмули , Майкл рассказывал, что отказался пойти с Мадонной в гей клуб. Таких примеров много, Майкл Джексон был НАСТОЯЩИМ мужчиной, и не надо делать его извращенцем, в угоду современным тенденциям, и извращенным желаниям гей сообществ.
Michael Jackson was the world, he was maybe put on this Earth as this figure that embodied the world. Nor man nor woman, nor white nor black, in the middle, somebody who wants to give a message of peace, kindness, and was instead harassed about his "odd" appearance, his differences, and left a shell of a person, dying wondering if people ever believed he was a monster. He was only a mirror reflecting on people's flaws and judgements
The pic at 2:00 is a woman. Its not Michael. Look at her hands. Michael had huge hands. Need an example look at 12:17. Also, I believe he wanted to be attractive or appealing so he did whatever necessary. A lot of men in the 80s wore makeup but that doesn't make him transgender or wanting to be a female. I do believe he pushed the boundaries on what men can do & wear but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be a man.
This video makes perfect sense, I don’t know why so many people are left so dumbfounded that someone could be non-binary. 😀
gotta say that the yt machine built him up then tore him down ,,,, notice the yt dude narrating this video ……
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ ask anyone in his family how he was behind the scenes hyper masculine, what’s interesting to me is Mike altered his appearance to look less and less like Joe (which almost all of the family did) but hearing stories of Michael’s home personality it’s weird seeing how so many of Joe’s good traits and also his masculine traits Michael had a very interesting study. However I don’t think gender was even on Michael’s mind, even after the Jehovah Witness Michael remained very religious and spiritual and in his era every artist was crafting an image of their personality
He was very feminine and tried to dress in men's clothes to hide it however he gave Queen all the time.
Love you too
He wore a full face of makeup with lipstick so yeah he was a Queen.
He literally went from dark to light male to androgynous. His facial features went from African American to Caucasian American. They and them are what I would say is their pronouns.
people are WAY too quick to click the Dislike Button it seems…. just goes to show you – any topic of Gender makes people nervous, as if it automatically diminishes a person . I don't think "trans" it's the right category for MJ, he wanted to be somewhere in the middle .
Never have I ever got a 'feminine' vibe from him. Quite the opposite, actually.
This channel is a joke 😂
