5:37 If a cis guy can dress femininly, a trans guy can! Dress how you want! Be the pretty guy in your friend group! Dysphoria is weird, and being trans is an individual experience! I support you my guy! If you need to talk about anything, im here for you! And just know that no matter how you present yourself, your valid. Clothes are only gendered if your a little bitch about it(something i live by to tell my dysphoria to fuck off when i want to wear pretty makeup and pretty dresses cause i like looking pretty, even though im a trans guy lol)

[@odin-aries]

@mrpickles-hb6zx cis is a prefix, like trans. Cis means on the same side of, trans means the opposite of that. Being cis gender means your gender matches your sex, while being trans gender means your gender doesnt match your sex. Its basic english to understand that. Besides, descriptive prefixes are everywhere in the english language. Now lets put your logic into a different sentance. We're not short! We're normal! We're not the ones who have to shop in special stores for clothes! If that sounds weird, thats because it is. Descriptive prefixes are apart of language that helps us describe things. Also, trans people are also just people, please know that. We struggle a lot with identity and a lot of us go through depression, and have attempted suicide because of people claiming we arent people for just being ourselves. The one who posted the video obviously is struggling, he even says so. So please, be kind. Being kind will get you a lot further in life than being a dick to people struggling with their identity and depression. This man figured himself out, so im proud of him, because he's going in the right direction to helping his mental health. If your transphobic, why are you watching a video about a trans man? You can easily ignore any video with trans people in it, and ignore any comment about it as well. You dont HAVE to interact either. I find writing an angry comment out and deleting it theraputic, because then you can get your emotions out without hurting anyone in the process. Its free to do.

[@NobodySpecial-ch9si]

Omg tysm! My mom was like if you dress girly why not just stay a girl💀, and I was like: 🗿🍷”Cause why not”

[@odin-aries]

@@NobodySpecial-ch9si Heres something i live by ever since i heard it "clothes are genderless if your not a little bitch about it" and i tell that to people who tell me "if your a guy, you cant wear that!" Whenever i wear a spinny skirt! We can wear whatever the fuck we want!

Haven’t finished the vid but I js wanted to say I’m really proud of you for coming out as trans! Oh and I really your persona design!

[@TheGoreNhoney]

As a trans man, hearing "i owe no one angrogany" is so refreshing because i get stuff like "but your hair is so long" all the time, i wish you the best of luck on your journey.

[@JDslushieking]

As a trans femboy I completely understand. I didn’t realize I was fully a trans man until less then a year ago because my entire childhood I was into the girliest of things like princess dresses and tea parties. Even now that I’m emo I still wear cat ears and jewelry plus I’ve always liked having dyed hair and painted nails. But the reason I realized I was fully a trans man is because of euphoria not dysphoria. I tried out he/they pronouns when I still identified as genderfluid and I fell in love. I also realized during puberty that I would love to have a flat chest, an average male waist and abs. Not a slim thick fem body. I completely understand what you’re going through and 100% support you on this long difficult journey of transition. Stay safe out there. - JD .

[@captainvaliant]

I'm also a trans man who's gender non conforming, I've always liked cute stuff and pastel colors more and I actually feel dysphoric at the idea of being hypermasculine. I mean, if a cis man wore something feminine, sure, some people would mock him and all, but they wouldn't question the fact that he is a man... So why is it different towards trans men? Why do we have to look hypermasculine and only wear "manly" clothes in order for them to stop doubting our gender? It's kind of unfair, and people need to change. You're no less of a man, no matter what you wear, and we support you, Rot.

[@captainvaliant]

(Also if I made any mistakes note that english is not my first language)

[@g1itchy_garbage]

I’m rlly glad this vid is out here. I’m a transmasc person and I like wearing makeup and the idea of presenting feminine and sometimes I feel like I’m “not trans enough” because of it.

[@DemiSuaton]

I feel you, sometimes I feel like I’m also a fake trans person because sometimes I don’t mind being misgendered or being called a girl, but sometimes it hits me when people do that and I can get dysphoric. But I should and you should, and others should always remember everyone experiences things differently and you are still you!

[@imthe_zombiigutz]

“I am a brotato chip” 😭😭😭😭 Edit: all jokes aside. as a young transmasc person(he / they) I am really glad this video is out here.

[@ork5419]

As a LGBTQ member I completely support and understand you! And I do understand having mental health difficulties

[@ozzyedwards5634]

I cant express this enough in words of how proud this community is of you! It takes a lot of balls to come out, let alone to a whole community! As someone who has been going through similar things such as dysphoria, it can be very draining and can take a toll on one's mental health. So I say you are SO strong for plowing your way through it! I hope you have a fantabulous day and stay safe!

[@FutureMint]

7:08 OMG OMG OMG. LET ME LET THAT SHIT SINK IN. I NEVER THOUGHT ABT IT LIKE THAT. IF I WAS AMAB, I WOULDN'T USE HE/THEY AND PROBABLY NOT HE/IT, JUST HE/HIM. Rot, Hank you, you have successfully ended my gender crisis, I still identify as a trans guy 👍

[@ccherry.berryy]

I feel this so hard dude- not in the trans masc way (even though I am non binary) but in wearing feminine clothes doesn’t feel wrong or dysphoric. My body doesn’t make me feel dysphoric either and the things the give me gender euphoria do highlight it. I like messing around with presenting androgynous I just don’t rlly know where to start when it comes to that

I'm a cis woman, but I 100% relate to you in the gender non-conforming sense. I love suits, usually more than dresses, and enjoy crossdressing for cosplay. Sometimes that's made me wonder if I really was cis, but I've generally always been comfortable identifying as a girl despite enjoying presenting masc on occasion. I've even thought about if I were born a man, I think I'd probably decide to be a woman despite enjoying masc aesthetics, or that generally the idea of the masc persona I put up for the costumes continuing with me after I take it off would make me uncomfortable. If cis people can be gender nonconforming why can't trans? absolutely think you're so fucking valid my guy.

[@flimsyflame1251]

Hi! I’ve never really been on this channel before (and won’t be back for a little bit because I’m 13 and I checked your Instagram and it said it was 15+) but first of all great coming out video, seacond of all cute art style and 3rd of all I’ve been questioning my gender recently. I’ve been using she/they pronouns for a little while but recently I’ve been thinking about using they/them pronouns and being a fem presenting nonbionary and I relate to this vid a bit to much help😂🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

[@porcelain_void]

Update I’m a fem presenting non-bionary my pronouns are they/them now🏳‍⚧

I was just scrolling though my recommendation and found this video. I have also recently came out as trans. I was dealing with gender dysphoria for 2+ years. Coming out has made me so much happier as before I came out I was extremely depressed. I’m still not out to all my friends and not out to my family. Glad to see you have found who you are!

[@ghostofthen00b]

I have no idea who you are dude because this vid just randomly showed up on my recommendations, but congrats man! Super proud of you!

[@giant_internet_nerd]

i support you as a fellow non conforming trans man. i can relate to ppl not understanding/rejecting dressing fem as a trans masculine person. you're so cool btw

[@Sugar_wxlf]

Your journey to being a transman is so unique oh my- im glad you finally found a gender identity that makes you feel better. As a person who falls in the transmasc catergory, i completely understand being a guy who likes clothing that corresponds with females. I love pencil dresses and skirts and stripped thigh high socks despite being transmasc and those being girly clothes. No one has ever called me out for it and still sees me as a dude. (This last part was just so you had more validation and know there are others like you in a way. Apologies in advanced if you read it in a different way than intended. Im not so great with words. 😅) TLDR; congrats for coming out - from another girly guy

[@RulerMyriam]

Welcome back!!! You have all of our support my guy! And I definitely agree that regardless of how you identify, anyone should present however they feel best, not having to conform to the binary stereotypes. I hope that you can get to therapy to help you through everything! Amazing art btw!❤

[@Toadstool22]

I really support u rot I hope ur vid helped and made other people feel better. Where I live people like this do not get treated very well he'll even there parents. But one day there was a drama surrounding this topic that came out and me my sis and mum was watching it that's where my mum started talking and seeing my mum being really supportive made me really happy😊

[@arushah6421]

I can confirm, this is the first vid I've seen of yours 💋

[@NebulaBubbles]

You are now certified transmasc B) Congrats!!

[@Snakeofwrath]

I'm transmasc non binary using he/they pronouns and while I generally lean masc presenting, I still like to be feminine now and then. I love wearing dresses and big beautiful earrings, and I like painting my nails. My chosen name Autumn is technically unisex, though most people use it as a women's name, but I chose Autumn because I still like to have some femininity and I find my chosen name suits me perfectly. My gender journey was kinda crazy with lots of trial and error over figuring out what my identity was, and that journey was made difficult from some preconceived notions I used to have about gender, mainly how I used to conflate identity with expression. I went from cis girl to demi girl to genderfluid to transmasc enby. I'm also xenogender, but I just say I'm a transmasc enby for simplification. I also tried out neopronouns for a while (xe/xer and fae/faer) but ultimately they didn't fit me I feel. I also tried they/them exclusively but I added he as being called he gave me euphoria. My voice and appearance make some strangers call me he and it's always been like this, and I always felt happy being called he, but then immediate sadness when a stranger would be like, "oh sorry ma'am. I didn't realize you were a girl!" Oomf... For simplicity sake though, my parents and few extended family who know I'm trans use they/them for me exclusively, which is fine as that is one of my pronouns. I'm also fine with family members using a shortened version of my deadname as it is unisex, but I still feel better the times they call me Autumn. I have top dysphoria and social dysphoria. I am currently pre op and pre T and have yet to legally change my name. Anyway, trans men don't have to be masc, trans women don't have to be fem, and enbies don't have to be androgynous.

[@ALiterateOwl]

1. love your art style so much 2. love Vincent but you do need to make art for yourself not for anyone else (as much as possible) 3. i am so happy for you dude! no matter how you dress or present, you are who you are, and if you are a dude that dresses or looks feminine, you are still a dude (and vice versa) until known otherwise!

[@MothsRus]

wanted to make another comment as I relate! As someone who is technically transmasc, i feel you on the whole dressing feminine thing, back when i was out as a transman (i am agender now) I was very worried abt appearing feminine because I felt like I would be less valid if I did but after a while its just like "fuck yeah im a dude and fuck yea dresses" that's how I see it :) [sorry for shitty english lmao]

[@BunnyNotFound]

This is a cool story all things considered. I had my own thought train while I was in the middle of watching. I keep trying to imagine how exactly should transitioning change interaction isolated from presentation and if should presentation dictate interaction. I can easily understand having online persona changes, however thinking of how it affects irl interaction is kind of a unexplored and unpredictable mixed bag to me. I assume you had analyzed how it would affect your life within your immediate circle and had thoughts along the lines of "This changes almost nothing for my friends and family since to them I am merely asking to use different pronouns" and judging your character and style is not something they should do. Unless you're like me who's separated from everyone and only communicates online. Being unmedicated undiagnosed unsocialized transfem on the internet from a shitty eastern european country has reduced presentation down to 2% which is just what people default to in communities I join and my profile picture and bio, which is usually all that people know about you before you type a single word, I was free to dictate interaction in every way I like unless I specifically flashed the flags, which is like tapping the sign. Some people can't read. This is making it about others and not ourselves though. I think. I imagine having gripes with thinking about others first. Also, I seem to have a self-prophetic touch of somehow finding artists and people I like and then a decade later learn they're trans. Everyone I once looked up to ends up being trans. Great community. Call me "Mrs. Steal Your Boobs" or idk lol. I don't remember how I ended up subscribed but I think I am here for the lessons and hot takes. I am not an active follower but videos like these seem to be targeted at my recommended.

[@2000s_gamerguy.]

Congrats on finding ur gender, but remember, changing ur gender does not change who u r on the inside, that is something that comes with time, more life experiences and acknowledging and being ok with yourself whoever u identify as, that is something that I have seen lately that hasn't really been talked about. Just because u change ur gender, it does not mean it changes who u r on the inside, whether it be kind and thoughtful, or just downright selfish or uncaring. Don't forget that Rot, because many people don't even realize that, and find out later in life, that," changing my gender did not change the emotional trauma/baggage I have, this only changed my outer appearance." Remember that either way, we hope u get the help u need, and we support u Rot. Congrats on finding ur gender

[@Dalazyfox]

I’m really proud of you, Rot!!! I’m a masc leaning they/he enby or idk it’s complicated lol

[@rachellfeather]

this was in-fact one hell of a first video to watch of yours LMAO,, but quite frankly i relate to you a lot-- i could never figure out how to describe my gender and i also never had 'dysphoria' in the sense that i felt trapped in my body, and the way that you described it is perfect. I'm also very happy that there are other trans men who can dress fem without dysphoria because quite frankly; the LACK of other trans men dressing fem WAS the cause of my dysphoria, and this helped me figure myself out so much without that even being the intentions-- i also truly hope that you're able to afford your thearapy and that your mental health gets better!! (tons of high-fives coming from me!! :D) TL;DR : i relate to this a lot and i hope things get better for you! ,,from another girly-guy C:

[@randomtree7295]

!!! Yeah, feminine fashion is very much like drag to me, and I would love to dress more feminine. Unfortunately due to the fact that I'm closeted and no where near transitioning I often default to masculine fashion so I don't get dysphoria inducing comments about how "pretty" I look. My dysphoria is very much about how I'm perceived not how I'd dress. So if I ever get to the point that I can wear a dress and no one would mistake me for a woman I'd definitely be more feminine It seems pretty backwards to some people but those people don't understand that gender is fluid and not just a rigid set of boxes
