If you're planning on being a parent, please be ready to be a parent of a trans child, a gay child, a child with a different religion, a child with mental health issues, a disabled child. If you aren't prepared for that, save yourself the grief of another life lost. It's okay if you aren't ready, but please be considerate of the child you are planning on having and know that they are a person too. Thank you.

[@meredithfoster6741]

+Sylvester Fernandez if you're gonna have a child just to disown it and mess them up for life, don't bother having the kid. Unless you're carrying for a couple that can't.

[@meredithfoster6741]

+Lacey Debock lmao I'm really not, it shouldn't be saint like for doing the least you can do as a parent. It's sad when people are so amazed by parents doing their job.

[@meredithfoster6741]

+Sylvester Fernandez but I'm glad that the child Isn't growing up with you anymore, considering you're so close minded.

[@meredithfoster6741]

+Sylvester Fernandez I don't know your whole story, but if you kicked out your child for being LGBTQ+, I stand by my word.

[@meredithfoster6741]

As someone who thinks that they're trans and hasn't came out yet, THE FIRST SCENE IN THE SHOP IS SO RELATABLE Whenever I point out something that I find cool, mom says it's for boys and then proceeds to show me a barbie hoodie, like WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT TO WEAR BOY STUFF, it's so much more comfortable, and I feel like myself in it

a barbie hoodie really makes it better huh? something obviously soooo gendered. I’m sorry, and I completely understand what you’re going through. It’s going to be okay. if you feel ready to, what I did was I came out to my closest friends and I suddenly got so much more comfortable. thinking of being fully out to my school maybe soon. it gets better from here.

[@izzyveleaguez2079]

[@CertifiedCrow19]

Genuinely made me cry. You can tell the mom cares, she just isn't educated about all of it, and it scares her to think that her baby might be going through something horrible mentally. She doesn't handle it the best way first, but at the end she grows. She hears the truth from Simon, realizes her mistake, and shows that she is going to try and accept her new son for who he is. She was right, he's not her Emilie anymore. But he's still her child.

Is it? Relationship person of mine is transmasc and I'm unsure if he could relate to this - since every transition is different and his family supportive (he's told me of a really sweet situation involving a tie tho). For myself I enjoyed it for a number of sequences I could relate to.

since this video is a trans film, here's some binding tips for my fellow trans babies out there wanting to bind! -make sure your binder is the right size. NOT TOO SMALL. if it is too small, it may compress too tight and can damage your ribs rlly bad. -dont wear it for more than 8-10 hours at the most. it can be very dangerous if worn for longer -DO NOT WEAR ONE WHILE SLEEPING. your breathing while sleeping is different from when you're awake, and it can possibly strangle you. -if you don't have a binder but are wanting to bind, DO NOT use bandages. it is EXTREMELY dangerous. instead, use two sports bras THAT FIT YOU and then put a big shirt on over top of them! stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@goldennuggetofwisdom5068]

True peace with ones self only comes when u learn to except the entirety of your being. They need to stay safe alright...

I have a question, and I’m hoping it doesn’t sound really stupid. I’ve never had a binder before and may get one in the future, how do I know if it’s too small?

[@1337Shockwav3]

I see this comment pretty much on every video/film which shows this ... keep in mind this is not a how to, but often shown in the context of people exploring gender affirmation and not having access to all possibilities. I've had the chance to do this with someone I was dating (almost 15 years ago) together with a transmasc friend and it was amazing to see them glow up - being fully aware that this is a temporary step (for ~6 hours) and an attempt. Said person has come out as transmasc since then and has had his top surgery.

I have a friend that is currently transitioning and saving up for surgery and I can’t say in words how proud and happy I am to see that he isn’t struggling with his self image anymore. I love him dearly, and to have that change from crying and hurting himself because he hated his body parts and how looking at himself made him feel to embracing his style and being so much more outgoing and actually feelings comfortable going outside with his friends has been a joy to witness. This Mini Movie is a really well done representation of anger within oneself, frustration from being ignored or “covered” for, finding acceptance, and overall freedom due to the outcome. Comment section is also so sweet and supportive ❤️

when this video first came out, i was a young trans boy strggling with heavy dysphoria. 8 years later and it's been a long journey. Not everyone I care about felt the same way about me, and I lost friends, family, and faced a lot of hatred from the world. I am so much happier now, having been on T for years, getting surgeries scheduled, carrying myself through college, working with mentors and looking to keep fighting for my dreams. It can happen. Things may not be perfect, and things might not even get easier, but you can be happy, and finding value in yourself is certainly worth it :)

Nope, we know very little about their overall relationship to say this is true. Yes, she was behaving like one in the part we saw, but that doesn't mean she's bad. Parents are human just as kids and just as kids need to come to term with their identity, so does their parents. Some people just know from their childhood they are straight, gay, cis, trans, ace etc. and they have no prob with that, some have to "find" themselves and come to terms with it, some will try to suppres themselves and to make themselves "normal". And the same is true about parents - some can accept their kid no matter what, some struggle but in the end they accept it, and some just throw their own kids overboard, 'cause they are not like they want them.

Funny that this has to be said so much to ensure that these people don't have constant mental breakdowns. You'll notice none of these people are actually happy with who they are, and need frequent reassurance that they aren't the vile cretins that they think they are. Though one quick look in the mirror kills all of that Discord validation. There is quite truthfully, no such thing as a genuinely self-assured and confident transgender individual. The concept alone contradicts itself.

I’m cis, but have extreme dysmorphia about my breasts. I didn’t have any until I was 29 due to anorexia, and since they’ve developed I have struggled severely to handle them despite having no gender identity issues. I looked into binding but I have a permanent rib injuries incurred during a SA so I can’t use binding without agony. I also can’t have them removed because I don’t fit any of the categories that would make it reasonable. I’m just telling this story to let anyone else like me know sometimes hating your breasts is more complex than wanting to be male…. Although I totally respect and am an ally to all LGBTQ+ people 🖤
