The whole "im still me" part really hit close to home. I myself had an argument with one of my closest friends bc he was scared i was gonna become a completely diffrent person etc. Ill admit that was quite probably one of my worst days yet. It was extremely transphobic and sexist of him but i belive he just didnt know any better and it was coming from a place of fear. Nevertheless we managed to work through it and its fine now. Update: No, the fuck we did not, and hes not my friend anymore, stay safe yall

[@crystalvulpine2314]

Well, looking at the loudest "trans" voices, I totally get why he would think that. I don't know if you've seen it, but there IS a gender cult/religion that is absolutely fanatical, and I've had the misfortune of seeing some of my friends get sucked into it. The problem is, most of them aren't actually trans, they just change definitions around so they can "identify" as anything but cis. And they have extremely sexist ideas and base their "trans identity" entirely off of stereotypes.

[@ScribblyHoots]

aww friend.. I remember what it was like starting out, when I sat making this video. I'll never forget the emotional rollercoaster of those first few months. Just remember, that even if it feels incredibly overwhelming at times. Then it does get better and you will feel happier down the road

[@cosmicsunset1225]

@@ScribblyHoots Hey I know you probably will not see this but I figured I'd just say it. It seemed like the perfect video to talk about it on. I'm 15 and a junior in a high school. The summer before my junior year, so just a couple months ago, my very religious parents found out that I was a transgender girl. They found out and said that I was being manipulated by all of my friends. It was an hour and a half conversation where they told me the same stuff over and over, pushed bible verses in my face, and asked me questions about my identity that I didn't even know the answer to yet. For example, "Why are you trans?" My response: "Idk it just feels right" Their response to that: "That's not a good enough argument. Try to convince us why we should let you be trans." You get the point. That was in July. They made me block all of my LGBTQ friends that were the only people I actually talked to, they made it so I couldn't leave the house alone or stay home alone, and they're also making me read this awful devotional thing that has a daily bible verse in it. (I can never remember to do it cause of ADHD). They made me go to two youth groups as well. They're pushing their faith onto me when I was never sure about my faith in the first place. Now, school has started and it feels like they are breathing down my neck. If I do anything that isn't classes, my parents need to know about it. Any clubs? They have to email the teacher to make sure I'm at the club. Which makes me look terrible in the teacher's eyes and makes me seem untrustworthy. I have to deal with that, as well as other little things that just make the whole thing infuriating. Recently I also figured out that I'm bisexual which doesn't bode well for me and my religious parents. My parents ruined my mental health this summer, making me feel more anxious and depressed than ever before. Luckily during the summer, I had one person to talk to that my parents didn't see as an LGBTQ person so I could hang out with them and they agreed with me that my parents were being way overkill. They say they're doing this because they love me. They say they're doing this to protect me. But I'm not feeling any love. And then after this, they have the gall to say, "Come to us if you need to talk about anything. We won't be judgmental." Yeah right. Anytime I tell them anything, I get told that what I believe is wrong and I should believe this instead. That's the reason I only talk to my friends. They don't judge me for who I am. Ok I know that anyone reading this (which probably no one is) has gotten pretty bored by now. So I'll end off this rant here. But it's been 2 months and I still feel awful and trapped. If anyone has any advice let me know. Ok thank you! -Madeline Edit (Also it doesn't help that every family member on both sides of my family are Christian).

Something you said that really resonated with me is the fact that you were afraid that you were trans. I felt that way too and I still feel that way now. I feel like there’s not enough discussion of what it’s like to figure out your trans, especially how for some of us it’s really not obvious and it’s hard to figure out, and even harder to admit to yourself.

[@crystalvulpine2314]

No, the problem is there's WAY too much discussion of it, and it's something you cannot possibly understand without experiencing it. So people who confuse it with gender nonconformance inevitably take center stage, and it didn't resonate with me at all. I also don't appreciate constantly being reminded of something that really bothers me.

[@tacotown4598]

[@marcelinepink]

Just after reading the title of this video, I couldn't help but saying "yeah I know" out loud. I'm a trans girl who very recently came out to my family, and even after doing it, it's still hard. My mom has apologized in advance for misgendering and deadnaming me, but my dad (who very much could come to terms with it easier) seems to have taken this as a sign to keep living life as if nothing happened, so he deadnames and misgenders me as well. I know I told them I'm not suicidal or anything, but that doesn't mean I don't feel awful every time they call me to dinner or something. Plus, now that it's christmas there's a lot of family events coming up, so I have to get all my courage toghether to come out (even if just by wearing a skirt) to ten or more people at a time. I really hope this gradually changes over time, but I guess I have to take the initiative. It still sucks tho.

[@ScribblyHoots]

I know friend.. I go through the very same problems with my family in the holidays. Them treating me that way, doesn't change or affect who I am. But that doesn't change the fact that it hurts. I hope this Christmas will be kinder than the ones before and that life will make it easier to be yourself moving forward. You're a beautiful woman, and you shouldn't have to argue about that with anyone. Wish you the very best, and despite everything, then I hope you have a kind and happy holiday

[@dodleblob]

Thank you so much for this video! ❤ Video games, movies, and music have had such a huge impact on me but this one in particular hits home hard for me. It feels so good to hear someone else with the same struggles as me who overcame them❤ I'm a closeted 17-year-old trans girl and it's been really hard to accept myself. For basically my whole life, I've faced these feelings alone, from when I first felt like I was supposed to be a girl(around the age of 7) to when I started experiencing what I now know as "gender dysphoria". Later on, around the age of 11, I learned about the LGBTQ+ community, knew that I was trans, and saw it as something to be ashamed of. People at school are not super accepting of gay/trans people and I felt a lot of internalized transphobia. I've tried SO hard to push these feelings away over and over and over again hoping that eventually they would subside or go away. But I think that as I got older, it actually got worse. When I look in the mirror or at pictures, I feel a strong disconnect between my body and self-image. I'm not thinking that "I look ugly" but that I don't really feel like my true self. When I talk, I don't hear my true voice. Usually, gender dysphoria has been on and off for me over the years, going for a little bit and coming back to haunt me every so often. I usually can find some sort of escapism. For the past 6-7 months, however, it's been much more intense. It's been a constant thought in my head that I can't ignore or run from. I feel like I NEED to come out now more than I've ever felt. I plan to do so just to my mom and sister(who I feel safe with). I want to talk to a gender therapist or reach out for help in some way. Hopefully, that works. I think running from my feelings doesn't work. I've tried already my whole life and I end up in the same spot but further behind and in a worse condition. I've come to accept that the way I am is something not in my control and I shouldn't beat myself up over it. It's a fundamental part of my identity that I just can't ignore.🏳‍⚧

[@sofamutual]

I don't normally comment here but I felt it was just. Congratulations on coming out. According to many trans folks I know, coming out is the hardest bit. I know it, they know it and you know it too.

Am I really or just pretending to be to myself?" My head is a mess, a constant back and forth. I don't know anymore if anything I think I felt is real.

[@MarfansGoth]

I can relate to this so much and I am very certain in my identity as a trans girl. I had so much imposter syndrome and constantly compared my experience to others, I would have days of feeling horribly dysphoric and the very next day I would be worrying if it was the "right" kind of discomfort and if I was a "real" trans girl. Early on I had almost no frame of reference because the few examples of trans people I had were fictional and given to me by cis people. It's been almost a full year since I first seriously started questioning and I feel like a completely different person in some ways, but exactly the same in others. But at the end of the day the biggest thing that helped me know who I am was just learning more about gender as a whole and realizing that I *can* be a girl if I want to. That there aren't any prerequisites, no tests, no final answer that anybody can give me to prove that I am or am not a girl. I can just be who I want to be, and I now know who I want to be.

The thought of coming out is so scary. I wish people would just...figure it out? I wish they would just see me as who I actually am and not for the body I have. I don't think I'd get kicked to the curb for coming out or anything, but one of my biggest fears is rejection. I don't know if I'd be able to stand telling my parents something as important as my identity just for them to tell me that's not who I am. I'm planning on coming out when I go to college, which is about 1.5 away. Here's a belated good luck on your own journey :) Don't let other people try to tell you who you are.

[@ScribblyHoots]

I totally understand this feeling. I slowly started dressing more feminine, hoping that my family would just notice, adapt and accept me for who I am. But sadly, when it comes to something like coming out as trans, then often people can find other ways to justify your different behavior. It's one of those things, where it likely will be a sit down type of discussion. But after that, no matter how they react to your coming out. Then you won't have to go through the struggle of building up the confidence to jump out again. I hope you treat yourself with kindness and again, just remember. This will be hard. But it is likely, that you will never have to do it again. I wish you the absolute best of luck!

I didn't think about whether I was trans or not for as long as you; I only started thinking about it at the beginning of this year, which I guess is sort of a long time... You're honestly one of my most favorite youtubers to watch. You're funny, your editing is funny, you're really relatable, and you really are very open to your subscribers :D Thank you so much for all the fun and laughs you've given to us over the years! I hope you can still feel comfortable making videos and stuff now that you've told us about this; you're someone I admire, and I admire you so much more now! I'M GOING TO SUPPORT YOU AS MUCH AS I CANNNNN! But now that you've admitted that you are a girl to yourself and us...have you ever thought about drawing how you'd want to look? That might be a good idea for a video :3 Love you, Scribbs - keep doing what you're doing and being you :D thank you again for just being an awesome person!

[@iLetBWP]

I’m out to my parents & friends but I’m so nervous. I’m not looking forward to coming out not because I don’t want to be, but because I hate how people treat me already, and how people view me. I’m not particularly good with my emotions. I like to pretend I am sometimes but I still struggle to understand myself frequently. It took me doing LSD to show any significant love for myself. I still have a lot of things to work through but I’m finally learning to deal with myself in a better way than just saying “I’m okay” and ignoring something the whole day. I’m not even done playing Celeste. But I’m gonna complete it - I only have 9 hours on it so far but I love it already. I’m nervous for all the changes in my life and I know there’s a lot I’m not looking forward to. But I’m finally at a point where I can deal with and realize there’s more to look forward to than not. Don’t know who you are, but good video. Wouldn’t have written this without you

Seeing this video is wild to me. When you published it, I was coming out myself to everyone as transgender. Now years passed, I started hrt almost one year and half and I live as a woman who forgets sometimes the toughest and difficult of just being a lil new trans girl in the world. Who doesn't know how to move forward, but wants to. Who is scared, but deep inside knows is the correct decision. Who finds joy and euphoria on her new found self. I even forget about myself being trans sometimes. As a fellow trans woman, I wish your life is full as joy as mine is with our identity. Thanks for bringing me back to that messy nostalgic time :>

I got this video in my feed today (2024-09-26), and it's the first time I've watched your stuff. Although I'm nonbinary, I relate to a lot of what you said. In June of this year (18 y/o), I told my parents and younger sister that I was nonbinary. They all knew that I was nonbinary, but waited for me to tell them. They support me all the way, and it's going well. This is the third thing I discovered about myself, and it's a long story, but in short, I discovered that I was asexual at 15 (late 2021), aromantic at 16 (early 2022), and started figuring out about being nonbinary at 17 (mid 2023). I told my family about being asexual and aromantic in December of 2022 (16 y/o), and they supported me back then as well. I tried to make this comment short, but I could go on and on about this. I hope you're doing well and that you have a good support system because this is something that some people won't support, let alone acknowledge.

Here i am 3 months late watching this but, i am so happy for you. I know from personal experience that doing this sort of thing is terrifying, heck when i came out to my irl friends i had to drop it as a joke just so i could sneak it past my brain like it wasn’t a big deal, of course immediately after i felt so anxious about it afterwards that i straight up had to lay down for fear that i was going to pass out. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to come out to a group of people on the internet let alone my entire family. That part that you said about “if there was a person afraid of being trans it was me” hit me really hard. TLDR: this is truly inspiring and i am glad you got through this, it may inspire me or other people to come out as well. And i can really connect with alot of what you said here.

I gotta be honest, I got really lucky myself. I mean, I just straight up felt like wearing a dress one day, for fun, and then mom was the one who explained to me what trans is a week later, starting the realisation. Basically, I didn't need to come out in the first place cause my mom found out before I even had the chance to find out for myself. On the other hand I was in a highly homophobic and transphobic group home at the time, so not even having the chance to get into the closet before getting out of it had its consequences for sure. (Note: group home means I wasn't living with my mom but in psychiatric care at the time in this case, my mom and dad are not homophobic, don't worry)

[@E686]

i am straight but for all this time, I have held one singular opinion about LGBTQ+. They are the same as straight people, with the difference being that LGBTQ+ isn't within the main 2 genders. If someone, like, comes out; my honest reaction will be "ok ig". Sexual identity doesn't shape my opinion(s) about someone at all. It's not like they've entirely changed or anything. I know 2 people that are most probably in the LGBTQ. One is kind and all and one was a complete (I don't wanna say anything.) but gladly he is changing. So that shows that just like straight people; not all of LGBTQ+ is good or bad. As I said at the beginning; the only difference is sexual identity, nothing else. Conclusion: Homophobia, Biphobia etc. is meaningless and unreasonable.
