Felix dude that's nice :) may i ask you something about t ?

[@euxinia2596]

A couple weeks ago I came out to my mom and dad about me being trans and pansexual and they said they accepted me and would love me. A couple days ago my mom was asleep and I took her phone because mine was dead and my freaking sister took my charger... I got and idea to look through my moms internet history( I do that to everyoneXP) and I saw something that said my child is trans what do I do, how do I help my child transition and other stuff like that and I started crying... that's the story so far byyeee

Hey so for anyone who wants to transition but hasn't started testosterone or estrogen, there are these rlly cool apps called Eva ftm and Eva mtf, and they help you train your voice higher or lower, hope this helped someone!

[@purplefire2834]

Do you know of any websites for that kind of stuff? Some people have to be careful, and downloading apps can be endangering that.

[@ManWithTheCow]

It would be cool if it was Eva mtf and Evan ftm

Sam you're such an inspiration to me. My dysphoria and depression just in general is really bad, I constantly find myself feeling sad when I don't want to. I hate it because my mom won't allow me to buy a binder. I love you Sam Collins seeing you going through all this transiting makes me so happy.

[@mintchirp4947]

So you’re 14 now I think. How has it been?

[@danielnetzinger6109]

Great answers. I think with the bathroom thing, for me, if someone looks male, use the mens, if you look female, use the ladies. In the end everyone is comfortable. What happens in the stall itself, thats no ones business. I hope that made sense, I'm high.

[@freyablack4979]

I think it makes sense but it's hard for trans people to judge that themselves because of dysphoria so I would say, as soon as you're out to the public, and not just yourself or your friends/family, start using the gender you feel is right.

[@okchun]

hey anyone who reads this i need help and advice. this is hard for me to say and explain but... i feel like im a guy on the inside, like being a girl is trapping me and i really really hate it, i think its called dysphoria or something. But what im trying to say is i dont really know if im trans because sometimes i feel as if its just something i want not am. On the other times i feel like i really am and this is what i need to be truly happy in the future. Its making me really confused and depressed and i just want to be happy but i dont knwo how or why

[@okchun]

i hope that made sense, sorry

[@taylor-tb9np]

Genma Shiranui do some research. find what suits you the best, and fine the pronouns you want and stuff and tell your close friends and just try it.

[@jenniferc7191]

Genma Shiranui The best option is to talk to friends or just anyone close to you, I guess? Hope you are fine!

[@shannonmurphy3894]

Genma Shiranui my advice would be to take things slow, think. And 100% don't feel forced to come out if you are unready. This is your decision, no matter what.

[@arlo5625]

Genma Shiranui think about it until you're completely sure. I'm sorry you're going through that :(

[@idiotblues9994]

I got into this really bad fight with a person I've known for a while... I told them my name was and always has been Aria, ( I'm FtM but thats the name I'm comfortable with ) And they wouldn't oblige and said that " I'm only calling you the name you were given by your parents " I can't stand this because it hurts so much to see a friend act like this and not accept me.. No point to this comment, I just wanted to speak, where I know there are people in the same situations as me. But if you're going through something like this or even worse, we're here for you. And there's always someone to help.

[@zachariahsmith6426]

"when I see a family bathroom I'm like 'hell yea that's my shit'" SAME

[@JacobKnighta]

How do you deal with it when somebody says something and says it's not offensive, but you feel it is transphobic? Like, is it just me that has that?? :(

[@josephsdimension]

Jake Hayden don't fall into the trap of being offended by everything. If something offends you just let it go and move on

[@JacobKnighta]

I'm not offended by most things, but I'm talking like when somebody says how feminine I look. And just brushes it off because "that's your sex anyway". Certain things I think are just TOO far, and can definitely be uncomfortable.

[@Miss_Playb0y]

[@imgay.verygay.2557]

My school has been notified about my situation and now I can use the male’s bathroom, and I am allowed to use the men’s locker room!

[@thatgirlmaggot_1257]

I handle my Pre-T dysphoria by telling my friends that I'm most close with (and most accepting) and spending as much time with them as possible. Having them calling me he/him really helps. I also practice self-confidence and handle myself like a man (i.e doing their mannerisms) and it just makes me feel overall masculine and confident that I'll turn out okay.

[@shrushton516]

My mum won't even let me cut my hair so how can I tell her I want to transition?!

[@mystupidlittleworld6675]

your mum may be concerned that cutting your hair "isn't very feminine", but as i can tell, you and i disagree. if you tell her how you feel, she may be more accepting to the point where you can get a ftm haircut. i wish you the best of luck xx

[@shrushton516]

mystupidlittleworld Wow, you're the first person to actually reply to my comment with advice and kind words. Thanks 😊😞

[@kkeewll_io]

i dont know if this is still a problem for you but another tip. pull up a short haircut on a girl and show her that you could get it too

[@shrushton516]

Nice Q&A Sam! Looking forward to watching more of your videos as I am totally awestruck and amazed with your content already.

[@monsterfckr]

I came out a year and a half ago and people / "friends" still don't use the right pronouns. Some try though..

[@purplefire2834]

Trying is the first step to acceptance. Best of luck with your friends.

[@janafrgalova5144]

If it's that long, they are probably not trying, like at all. Hope you have better friends or they became better by now!

[@cainzvictim]

There is this boy who I really like, and I don't know how to ask him out... I want to, but he's currently going though a shit load. Just got suspended for being trans, sent to conversion therapy, and tons of shit. I need advice, and I don't want to make a move and make him stressed and get in his way because of everything he's going through.

[@ysabiau4058]

Sxftblood Support him. Tell him you love him and you’ll be there for him even if you’re not together forever but you’ll try.

[@jordanchilders4726]

thank you for helping people all over with their life and coming out. i can't wait to give my speech about you tomorrow and educate people in class about you. hopefully they come and look you up and see how amazing you are. i love you so much sam, thanks for everything❤️

[@bunderify]

the part where you say that you told yourself that it would pass and you'd get through it is literally the least stupid thing I've ever heard; it's amazing and incredibly mature (not trying to be patronizing by saying you're mature; i'm 38 so I feel like I can say that). your videos are wonderful.

[@samantha08ftsk]

Sam, I find you so inspiring. The honesty you have and the acceptance you have with others views on you, is truly something everyone can look up to. I came across your channel, and out of curiosity I watched a couple videos and I am hooked. I am not a transgender, I was born a female and love being a female, but I still find your channel so inspiring. Also, all the comments on your videos are so positive, which is very rare on social media! These videos are not only great for other people during their transitions, but great to inform others and help them understand a little more. I wish you, and everyone else, nothing but the best.

[@calderfly4004]

How you talk about transitioning is giving me so much hope. I'm really unhappy with my appearance at the moment and I'm hoping I can be like you in the future when I can be happy with my outward appearance.

[@myflyingkidney]

you mentioned you can take T in shots, gel and patches, but there is also pellets. It is a tiny surgery, they cut a very small incision on your hip and put in pellets with testosterone that is then slowly released into your system which makes it more similar to the way T is naturally released in blood in male bodied people. If someone wants to know more- here it is.

[@SupraMan38]

damn i didn't know that

[@myflyingkidney]

yup, check it out, it actually seems to be a very good way to get testosterone :)

[@arlo5625]

this is ugly but honestly i appreciate you so so much. you're a really great person sam, i love you. thank you for making me happy x

[@grayson3482]

I know that when I decide to come out, it's not just saying it out loud, it's telling all of your teachers and all of your classmates (160+ a day, depending on how many classes you have) that you want to change your name and pronouns. As a naturally shy person, I don't think I'll ever be able to do that.

[@sashaneumann]

You are very inspiring and thank you so much, Sam! Even though I am a bit sad you didn't have time to answer my question. If someone here would be kind enough... I have a problem. I was born as a girl and I don't feel like it at all. When I was 11 I said to myself "I am a gay guy trapped in a girls body" (I didn't know the word "transgender" back then). I lived my whole life as a girl, but now, when I'm 17, I felt like I can't do this anymore. I came out as a trans guy, I tried passing as a boy and living as a boy and didn't feel it too. Now I don't understand anything and I confuse the fuck out of myself, my friends and my family. Can I be in the middle? Is it possible? I definitely don't feel like a woman, but as it turned out I am not a man either. I am so confused, somebody, please help 😭

[@none4530]

Alex Dahlem Yes! You can definitely be in the middle. That's usually called non binary, meaning that you don't fit into the binary of male or female. There are tons of other terms that are more specific, but I recommend doing some research for yourself of the term "non binary". Good luck :)

[@mikeymasten6299]

you could be nonbinary. i suggest doing whatever makes your dysphoria stop or maybe decrease. i'm sure you'll find out who you are and what you identify as, it may just take a little while :)

[@sashaneumann]

Alex Creed thank you so much

[@christopherrichter91]

you could be non-binary! heaps of other genders fit under that umbrella so you could look into them and see if any seem like you?

[@britryder2590]

I feel like more people should watch his videos. He touches on some topics that people need to learn about and that some people are scared to bring up. I am straight and not trans. Before I came across his page I was SO misinformed on the LGBT+ community that I tried to stay away from anyone in that community. (God, I feel so bad saying that). I can't say that I fully understand what anyone in the LGBT+ community is going through becuase i have never experienced dysphoria or just a basic feeling of not being accepted for my sexuality or my gender. But now that I have watched his vids, it has opened up my mind a lot. And it's him I have to thank. The reason that I am writing this is bc my best friend of 9 years just come out as FTM trans and I can confidently say that I wouldn't have been his accepting if I hadnt come across Sam's channel. So thank you for teaching people about trans issues and experiences. It's you I have the thank for changing my views. Have a good day to anyone who read all the way through this haha.

[@scarletfeather5969]

Would it be too early to transition at 13? My first appointment with my gender therapist is Sunday...

[@andidreams8950]

I would personally suggest waiting another two or three years (if you haven't already begun) because you just became a teen. Hormone blockers can help delay your puberty and any permanent changes until you've given yourself some time and are 100% sure you're trans and want to physically transition. If you're dysphoric to the point of self-harm thinking or suicidal, then start transitioning as soon as you're able to. But it's up to you and your doctors' about when you should start physically transitioning. And even if you don't physically transition for a little while, you can still socially transition and see how that feels. In fact, it's recommended that people socially transition for a year or two before any permanent changes are made. Which is also why you start out with low doses of hormones. Hope this helps.

[@makeawishkid1339]

I use sports bras to bind cause I’ve come out to my mom but I’m to scared to tell her I want a binder and I hate it so much but she sometimes makes jokes about my dysphoria and it’d make me uncomfortable mentioning something connected to my dysphoria (ex. She sometimes laughs and comments on my dysphoria cause I wore multiple T-shirt’s with my hoodie and it made me really uncomfortable and embarrassed)

With the bathroom thing , when I'm in my hometown (which is kind of stuck in the 90s) I have to sometimes use the women's bathroom. I get stared at but because I'm pre-T I just have to speak and they think I'm a lesbian. In Sydney I use the men's and because men don't seem to notice each other I just keep my mouth shut and I have no real issues. I'm lucky though because I have a very androgynous face except for my eyes so it's not usually too much of a problem.
