My personal experience with forgetting I’m trans in my daily life and some of the things that remind me of it.
I don’t want to forget I’m trans completely or anything, I’m proud of who I am, but it is nice to not think about it all the time anymore.

Hi Jaime, I'm not sure if you'll see this but I just wanted to let you know how much your videos mean to me. Both me and my husband are Cis-men who have been married/together for 11 years (we're 30). About 3 years ago my then 15 year old niece (by my husband) told us she thought she was Trans. Later she (now he) began to use male pronouns and changed his name. Honestly it devastated my husband who saw his niece more as a daughter since he basically raised her. I was also struggling to understand it since I've been her uncle since she (now he) was little. As an example of how close we are to my now nephew when he legally changed his name he also changed his last name to mine because he looks up to us as his uncles (he calls us his gay dads😉). Long story short my nephew had a terrible childhood. His mother (my sister-in-law) Overdosed on drugs when my nephew and his brother were only 13 & 15 and he never knew his father so we are his family. But we still struggled. We thought maybe him being Trans had to do with his past trauma. Your videos in particular have helped me tremendously to understand what our nephew is going through. He started testosterone a few months ago. I'm not going to lie we still worry about his physical & emotional well being but I think that's natural when you love someone. Jaime from the bottom of my heart thank you for helping my husband and I to better understand what it means to be Transgender. *Thank You* Sending lots of love to you and Shaaba from Texas! ❤️💛💚💙💜

Thank you for accepting your nephew. I understand it's hard because you feel like you lost a niece but you haven't. Still the same person just changing gender. A lot of trans phobic people have a problem with it when it's not thier life. I'm glad you both are dad's to him. My uncle was like a father to me growing up I appreciate that.

I'm pre-everything. I have clothes and hair. No binder. I was about to use the men's bathroom and said nope. I was at a gas station. I can't use it at school. It's against the rules. I like using the men's bathroom when I can. But sometimes I forget that I'm trans. I feel weird in both bathrooms. I get stared at in women's bathrooms. And got made fun of at school because I look different. A group of guys yelled if I was a guy or girl. Questioning me. I could hear then through my earbuds.

What I take from this is that now you're settled and comfortable in your identity you can finally concentrate on WHO you are, rather than "what" you are ..... I get that some people see being Trans as a huge part of themselves and almost don't want to forget about it, but when you are conscious and aware of it all the time then that means it's taking over the rest of your life! It should be a small PART of you that you can "overlook" almost when you are going about your day to day life, it shouldn't be your WHOLE identity.

I was molested as soon as my "chesticles" grew and i JUST. WANT. THEM. GONE. I can't raise funds because I am right now on government assistance, any penny earned they go after, on top of my nephew's debt that I co-signed for. EVERYTHING I could do makes it IMPOSSIBLE to raise money for surgery. Talk about STUCK!!! Thank you for this video, SO GLAD to hear you are doing well, and hopefully some day we will feel accepted.

It does makes sense. Its so all consuming in early days isnt it! Nowadays, it is so much less for me too, I am still going through surgery so it does serve as a reminder but stil, its much less than it was. I think the biggest difference is the level of dysphoria, when I see an old picture of myself now I dont feel the same sick dysphoric feeling that i once did and I can now look at the old me and smile as she got me to where i am now. Exactly like you say, it is so hard in early days, you wonder if youll ever have a life where being trans isnt this huge thing but gradually over time we come to accept ourselves and as our bodies change and we become more comfortable it becomes less of an issue. making light of this often difficult journey is the best way to stay sane I think!!

I can totally relate to that feeling. I tend to totally forget some times. Like, since I have started laser treatment I have almost none hair left in my face, so not even that is a problem. Until like recently a lot of hairs started to grow out that wasn't active earlier, and I took laser treatment again recently and this time a lot of the new hairs got burned of. The bad thing is that those hair is further out because they are loose and they are really black because they're burned... so really when I have actually removed all my hair in my face permanently (hopefully I will be done next year), then I might even forget it more due to not even having to shave my face anymore. What for me really makes it easy to forget is that when walking around just in my panties and passing mirrors, I see a girl with long hair, feminine face and visible boobs. Looking at old pictures, I even struggle myself to see the resemblance. Pictures of my old self looks like could be my younger brother... well, not even necessarily that. I am shocked to actually think my old self looks older then how I am now.

I was in a young adults support group that really helped me a lot, but when I decided to switch groups for various reasons I also realized that I was comparing myself a lot and kind of minimising and talking down my experience because it didn't match up with those of others. I was trying so hard not to "take up space" and that not allowing myself to just exist was ultimately holding me back.

I'm still very early in my transition and because of that I don't forget I am trans. BUT, what I do forget is how much other people find it strange and disturbing, and so when I walk the streets or go to the mall, people will give me disapproving looks or stare in disgust. One woman yesterday decided that it was appropriate to glare with disapproval and keep eye contact, as if I would suddenly just jump up straight and say, "You know what, ma'am, your glare has helped me see the error in my feeling that I am a woman. I will stop this nonsense immediately! Thank you!"

it's hard. Thinking about it can be really hard, because it gives this feeling of helplessness, and this overall fog of dysphoria. especially when you aren't fully out. I am only out to some of my friends, my parents aren't​ accepting of those sort of things and barely talked to me and were awkward around me for months when I told them I was Bisexual. this is far bigger, and thinking about it, and thinking about having to tell them is scary and oppressive and leaves this big black cloud of dysphoria and anxiety and depression hanging over my head for weeks at a time. I just wish I could be myself.

I'm not trans and I know it's not the same, but I tend to forget how socially awkward parts of my identity as person are, like my orientation or my religious identity, and gets confused to why people act weird about them, like if I was the average guy. Again, I absolutely know it isn't the same, but I get the "forgetting about me" part.

This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I think it's great that you forget. Forgive me if I'm wrong but being trans means that you were born in the wrong body. Forgetting just shows how much you have accepted that and I'm sure it's been a long process for you. And there is probably more barriers to come, unfortunately. But just be yourself and enjoy the person you were always meant to be. x

Every so often people star at us and I'm reminded that it's not as normal as I feel. It's wired. And then the kids thing comes too of course. As I'm turning 25 soon more and more people my age are having kids. I know it's possible for people like us but it's not as easy.

I am currently pre-t and haven't had top surgery but already feel so much better about myself just being comfortable with who I am. It took me 31yrs to figure out why I could never truly be happy and it was because I'm not who people have always told me I am. I'm not a woman, and I could never be happy with who I am because who I am was always in conflict with who I saw in the mirror and who people told me I am. Right now I am only able to wear a chest binder and wear men's clothes and deodorant, body was, etc but I have also already came out to the public and my family and friends so I rarely think about being trans in my every day life also because I'm happy. Yes when I really stop and think about how my body looks right now or see old pictures of me with longer hair and trying to look cute or sexy and girly and I always felt wrong in all of it but I was so desperately trying to fit into this part I had been assigned to play and now I don't have to pretend to be a woman just because that's how other people see me and it's wonderful. I know most people if not everyone who sees me even with my binder on still can tell very easily that I'm biologically a woman, but the thing is it's not about who people think I am it's about being okay with myself. Basically I've finally realized that most people in my life (and everyone's lives) will have certain expectations for me and I used to try so hard to fit into everyone I cared about, who they wanted me to be, especially like my parents. Since I realized this, I have been able to choose to be the real me despite who or what anyone wants me to be or thinks I should be. Holding myself up to try and meet impossible standards like being a woman when I'm really a transgender man, has helped to alleviate so much anxiety, stress and depression from my life. I still do have problems and issues in my life of course but loving yourself as you are is definitely something everyone should hope to achieve.

I know where you're coming from. My situation is different (a gay man who spent most of his life in the closet until it stopped being most of his life). Here in America, it's common to grow up in one place and, ultimately end up in another. (The quintessential story is growing up in the east and ending up in California.). You transition from being from where you are from to having gone through a journey and then, ultimately, your identity is where you end up. It's important to recognize where you came from, but the important thing is who you end up being.

anti evergreen today I was doing sports with my class and a few of the lower class and IT WAS AWKWARD. We were doing soccer and someone suggested that doing girls vs bois would be a good idea but the teacher/tony counted and tony counted and said "there are only 6 girls" and someone was like "BUT *birthname* IS A GIRL" and I was sitting on the ground and everyone else was standing up and then my friend said "no, he's a boi" and she is like " NO SHE IS NOT" and then everyone started yelling like "she's a girl!" And "he's a boi!" And at one point someone said "ITS AN IT" and then someone said "YOU CANT CAN IT AN IT, ITS A HUMAN BEING!" And then that started another yelling-argument. Then I turned to tony and said "I'm transgender" and then he was so confused and then the yelling died down and I told the the girl ( and pretty much the rest) that I would rather be a boi then tony was like "I'm so confused." AND THEN WE PLAYED SOCCER :)

For me it’s the opposite sometimes since I haven’t Transitioned yet because my mental health is bad and once I get it back up then I can transition like I promised my family. I can’t wait too :) but for me sometimes when someone starts to do something bad to a girl I also get mad but than I’m like “wait I’m not even a girl anymore” “why am I even fighting over this bc I’m not a girl?” But afterwards my mind Dysphoria comes in and is like oh your fake trans bc if u where rlly trans you wouldn’t have forgotten you weren’t cis anymore. It’s like a bad feel after I forget that I’m not cis anymore it makes me feel fake trans😭✋🏽 and I keep getting emotional about it when I do that sometimes. It rlly makes me sad when that happens.

I would love to just forget (the only time that happens is when I get really into an episode of the great British bake off) it is just constantly there in my mind, screaming at me, and the fact that I haven't even come out to anyone or done many things to make myself more masculine just exacerbates the issue. More on that note - I always feel like I'm lying, when people look at me they see a female, a girl, but that's just not what I am. It is just so tiring. I wake up and am reminded that I feel awful about who I am or what I look like - the image in front of the mirror always feels so distant like the person staring back at me - the one with hips, small shoulders, feminine legs and long hair is so very fake.

I have had a binder for some time now and it's just a habit to put it on every day. I put it on on the weekends and my mom always questions why I do so, I do it because without it I feel like a stranger. I need my binder, I need a flat chest to feel like me. I'm not on any hormones or hormone blockers yet so my voice and that time of the month kinda just remind me that I'm not who I want to be. I have to wait till I'm 17 then we can start talking about hormones. Then I look over and there's 6 year olds getting put on blockers and getting surgery and I'm just thinking, 'What about me, why can't I do that?'. It's just hard waking up and realizing I'm not me, I'm not what I envisioned when I was younger. I envisioned a boy, a man, with a deep voice and flat chest. But what I see is a girl with a high voice and not flat chest. Every so often I'll be lucky enough to get called by male pronouns in public but usually my parents are around so they'll "correct" them, saying I'm female. Some people will use male pronouns but then correct themselves and say female pronouns, they get it right but then realize I was born female and change it. Whenever I get called female in school by teachers and peers it just puts a damper on my mood and I'm just kinda off for the rest of the day, even strangers put me off, just out on the streets. It just lets me know that I'm not good enough, lets me know I still appear as a girl even though I've cut my hair, changed my clothing, I still appear female. My voice just justifies that. I can't talk to strangers anymore. (Sorry about my rant there, it's just that I've got no one to talk to about this type of stuff. I can't talk to any of my friends because they stopped talking to me too. And my parents aren't all supportive about it. They are supportive just not in public. They also don't use the right pronouns or ask how I'm feeling and having depression and anxiety (as well as appearance issues) doesn't help.) Well that's me signing off, Thanks for making videos🙃.

I have always though how frustrating it must be to be trans and know the transition would mean no kids with my own DNA. That is something which I can only imagine the pain of. Well not really though I am 42 with no kids so there is a very high probability I will not have any either. I know how much this disturbs me so on some level I think I can relate. Though I am capable of having kids it is very likely I will not, and in my case it means the end of my mother’s genetic line. I will only say that many children need good parents and don’t have them. Adoption may not be exactly what you wanted but it is a fantastic thing to do for those kids waiting for a real home.
