@@amnesia--archives Souls, always know that: GOD calls us to JUDGE, Not unrighteous judgment but righteous judgment. John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. GOD through His Word judge us. Christians are expected to judge themselves and others. But what humans do, how do we judge? We judge according to the appearance,, that = false/unrighteous judgment Why to be afraid of getting judged? you judge others, mostly unrighteously. Others judge you, mostly unrighteously. GOD judge all of us; RIGHTEOUSLY always. Why to be afraid of judgment if we get it anyway and give it out anyway? But what is needed in order to have RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT? - knowledge - we need knowledge. And to all lgbtq people: Let me get it right, gender is a feeling - right? So, if i feel angry or happy, did by gender disappeared? Since gender is a feeling (and not a biological fact - which it clearly is,) and my feeling changed, so therefore my gender vanished?

I like to watch these because it helps me feel better about me being transgender since my family doesn't know and I feel to scared to tell them because I know that the won't understand me and think I'm just confused and I know that my Dad will say that because he did when I told him I was pan sexual I just want to run and wait till I'm in collage and by myself to be who I feel like on the inside. Not a girl, but a boy named Even. 😔

[@moshposh3690]

naracely28 I feel the same thing. I would come out but I cut my hair really short like a boy and now every time I go in a women’s restroom they just stare but I don’t feel comfortable going to the men’s yet. But everybody already thinks I’m a boy but in school in the locker room for gym it’s really awkward and I hate it. Ugh I wish people could just be people without having to hate on other people because they are different. 😫

naracely28 Hi, My names jordan 🙂 trust me it gets better in college! I was the same and then I saw a lot of tran, gay and bi and all those people. No one cares....eventually, like 2 weeks in I cut my hair and people were so supportive when I told them. They are like my second family now 🙂 My parents still don’t know, but it’s ok because I dress my own way now. They don’t like it, but I still do what I want Don’t be afraid to express urself Even 😉

[@user-je9np9nc5o]

In case you still havent told your parents, since you are afraid of telling them which I completely understand you, you can write them a letter or link them a video when you are away from home, or just text them. That way you dont have to look at them and see their reaction face to face, it also gives them some time to absorb it and think about it. Good luck dude.

If you watch the ones that are timelines of being on testosterone, you’ll see that your face will (probably) change, and you’ll grow whiskers. And your voice should become deeper. Just take it a day at a time. Are there any lgbtq+ support groups around you? Everything is virtual (still), so distance shouldn’t be an issue. I’m rooting for you.

Every Tuesday I used to go to this center for school and the bathrooms they had there were awesome. There were two unlabeled sides with heavy enough and tall enough stall doors to overpower the "bathroom creep" battle, and sinks on the outside in the middle so you'd just come out of your stall, walk like 5 steps forward, turn, and wash your hands in the sink out in the open. It was in my mind a brilliant solution to bathroom issues and satisfied both sides of the argument and it was fantastic. I don't see why other buildings don't try a similar setup?

I just realised another hard thing for trans people. Whenever i feel bad/uncomfortable in public spaces for whatever reason i always go to the bathroom to hide/cry. If you don’t feel like you can go to either bathroom you won’t have that escape from the bad situation. That must feel awful When you already get in more of these situations by being trans.

[@naomitann5083]

Another label you could consider is nonbianry. (Which means gender identities which are not solely male or female and identity out of the gender binary.) Their sub catagories within which are demigirl or Demi boy which tends to like to use (she/they or he/they) their genderfluid which I am which means some days I may feel more masculine and like he pronouns or feels more neutral and they feels right and every once in a while their she pronouns. Nonbinary the umbrella term. It take a while to see which gender identity feels right. Transgender is a more common term people know compared to nonbinary. I just thought it might be helpful to give you another perspective you could look into. Their no rush to figure out who you are and I wish you luck. Their are many labels and it takes time finding the right one : )

The fact that peoe think they can pick and choose who they accept is ridiculous, they will have experienced similar discrimination in their lives so they should be able to relate to how you're feeling.

[@joeewell4846]

Very touching short film, especially 5.17 when the girl asked "him" if he wanted to sit with them. I am not trans but intersex, both boy and girl, and most people can't tell the difference. I get called "mam" and I get called "sir", and sometimes I just get called "it" or "whatever you are". I hope trans individuals can somehow make their appearance more like unto their chosen gender, because intersex people like me have a difficult time achieving this goal. We are all in the same boat.

I have long hair and I'm out but my parents said they won't refer to me as I guy until I get all of the surgeries so I just look full on female and it gives me so much dysphoria

[@dyotatouille]

you are such a wonderful guy regardless of how your parents refer to you!!! i hope it gets easier soon!

[@samueldenkikaminari1724]

That little smile at the end! My heart 😢

[@briethey-them9542]

Would you rather have a happy son or a dead daughter? This is sadly what it comes to and too many people think the second option is better. You. Are. Valid. No matter who you are. You. Are. Valid.

[@ericdary8421]

I feel like him a lot, I can totally relate to this. Thank you for it.

[@pinocchiopop]

I support him in every way possible oh my stars you do you boo

[@Hiiskumaton]

This tells pretty much about how it feels. Also this is one of/or even the best trans gender shortfilms!! Good Job. Ja torilla tavataan👌🏽

[@panpanduh5546]

This is really sweet. I've had these problems, like which bathroom to go into. It can be really hard. I wish the world was much simpler.

[@ponyonoodles6568]

Dude's got the same hair as me! When he put the headphones on I was like "you're gonna get a lil dent there"

[@dyotatouille]

STUNNING JOB THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[@madebychamber]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@shortfilm1784]

We used to have gender neutral bathrooms at school but they changed them and now I'm confused

[@ShaymonMizu]

I feel the same way. I can’t get support and I am super self conscious about my body. I don’t even look in the mirror anymore. I can’t be a girl I just can’t. I just wish I had support. AlsoI am too scared to go in the men’s room and I have gotten bullied for it as well

[@ftmryan1273]

AMAZING!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

[@madebychamber]

thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@ryankai540]

ftm tip- put gel in your eyebrows so you can mess them up to look more masculine

[@lostpluto5352]

I love this sooooo much

[@finchyeden]

I love this film tho. I too am FtM Transgender and my family still uses my dead name...I got kicked out and now live with my grandma because it was too much for my step mom (who is a butch lesbian by the way) so I know how this feels...

[@milubyy]

Wow, this is awesome. It's a very good short film! I am glad I'm not bullied anymore for being a trans male thanks to my new school, and this video just makes me even more happy 💙

[@PhuongNguyen-sf3dx]

I really like your video. Because i can see myself and i try to live a boy’s life everyday like you. Its so hard and sad but i will get my life back. And i will be a great man. Im on T now, it makes me happy cause i know that my dream is coming true. Keep moving .

[@dyotatouille]

im so glad you are feeling happy!!!

[@heliolixx]

*cries in agender because there is no gender neutral at your school.*

[@soapy5607]

PETTION TO MAKE EVERY SCHOOL HAVE GENDER NEUTRAAL BATHROOMS. AS AN AGENDER PERSON IT'S SO AWKWARD WHEN I GO TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM!!

[@raphael4786]

Ohhh wow the way he is acting at the begining with the mirror is so true ! I act like this everyday

[@moss2595]

This is so sweet, I love it! (Also why can my school have nice lunches like theirs😭)

[@evries6396]

Is this my second hour watching Trans films? Yes. Is it making me feel better? Kinda

[@dyotatouille]

[@dyotatouille]

[@user-cs7tz2ov3r]

In the Uk we don’t have gender neutral bathrooms, we just put up with the ones we have, boy and girl, I have 5 non binary friends and I myself are a trans male. It’s annoying- BUT DAMN THIS BOY IS SO HANDSOME
