[@georgettewolf6743]

I’m almost 70 and this spoke directly to me. I’m trans too, but didn’t come out until age 66 - retirement age here in the states. I am MTF. I went through all of the things that Zoe went through when I was a teenager (if in the opposite direction) including the suicide attempt. The difference for me was that my father was dangerously violent. I kept my trans-ness deeply locked inside me, to the point that I often doubted myself. It led to a depression that didn’t begin to lift until I came out. It affected my studies and my work life, turning me into a hermit. Like Zoe, I had one good friend to whom I told as much as I told myself. We remain married, despite my changes. Congratulations on a wonderful film.

[@01harvey]

I am 60 and came out to my wife of 40 years about 6 weeks ago. I have been hiding this thing since I was 5. I have been a hermit all my life don't know how to even be around people I am so screwed up on so many fronts I can't even tell you but this film hit home I am still cringing as I write this and don't know why? If I can give some advice to someone watching this film and in the closet, COME OUT ASAP don't wait till you are 60 I have wasted my whole life because I am a coward. Things are way better now than back in the old days there are really good people out there that will support you not all people are closed-minded bigots.

His name is Zach, but it’s awesome to hear that you’re finally out and happy 🏳️‍⚧️

[@Timebeaver]

I am 54 and MTF. I lost my wife of 19 years in 2020, and, had she lived, I would probably never have come out. I know in my heart she would not have understood. I deeply miss my wife, and wish she hadn't passed, but at least now I can be free to pursue feelings I have had since being a child. I know there are many haters out there, but they will never understand the deep anguish of looking at your body and seeing only something wrong. Congrats Georgette, and though we are strangers, I am right there with you in spirit as we begin our journey towards being who we were meant to be.

[@tlovesretro]

@@01harvey you are not a coward. You just didn’t have the support everyone person needs and deserve. To be accepted no matter who they are. I accept you. And I’m so happy you’ve been able to start showing the world. It’s never too late and you’re proving that for all of us. Thank you.

It really does hurt every time I get a gift that’s heavily inspired by me being AFAB. It’s funny how some people really think we’re pretending to be something we’re not by transitioning when it’s the exact opposite. It’s exhausting, literally masking to pretend to be my AGAB.

I'm 17, and came out at 12 as FTM trans, and I've never felt happier as who I am. Sure, love is difficult to find, but over the years, my parents have realized that this is who I am and they stand by my side when it comes to my identity. I'm getting my name legally changed by summer's end, and I will be taking T next year. I've never felt happier. If you feel that this is who you are, hold your head up high and be proud to be you.

@@lilith9725 You're welcome! 🙂 I don't want anyone to get hurt by binding unsafely. I learned my lesson the hard way. I used an ace bandage (for a few months in 6th grade) to bind even though I knew it was dangerous. I thought that if I was careful, I wouldn't get hurt. However, things ended badly. My rib cage (lower left side) got bent inwards, but luckily they didn't break. I stopped binding with an ace bandage after that. I'm now in 12th grade and my lower left rib cage is still bent inwards. In 2 weeks I'm going to order a binder from gc2b, so I can bind safely.

[@jwenting]

It can be hard, especially in a very religious environment. If you have a mental health counselor, talk to that person first. He or she may have advise for you, or be able to guide you to someone who can help (and it's all patient/doctor privilege). Your priest may also be a person to help, but that's hard for an outsider to determine as that depends heavily on the priest and your relation with him (some would be very accepting, others condemn you to the deepest hell for eternity for just "having those thoughts". But at least it'd be under the privilege of confession and therefore (or should be) your and his secret. But be careful with that, some priests may decide you need "to be cured of your evil thoughts" and consider that being supportive.

I am so glad to find many positive short films of late. I also find it interesting that others have come from Australia and New Zealand. I am glad to see such positive support. For me personally, trans-female, seem to be non-binary/Demi-female. Do have dysphoria with regards to my body being AMAB, and somewhat identify as female. Please continue to produce these films. They one and others have made me realize I must accept myself, still the idea of transitioning scares the hell out of me for many reasons.

[@kiwigirlNZ]

New Zealand is a very LGBTQIA+ positive society. Same sex marriage was legalised in New Zealand in 2013. Sex work was decriminalised in 2003, and the age of consent is 16. We, as citizens, and our government, understand that we're all different, and can make up our own minds when it comes to sexuality, gender etc. There's a lot of mini films, plays etc, in New Zealand, like the one you watched on this channel. (Yes, this vid is an Aussie one). For us, it's just a normal way life.

[@BleedingIchor]

When the mom started telling them that their problems weren’t real because they were a teenager it was too real. I understand that problems I have now might not matter when I’m an adult. But that doesn’t make them any less prevalent in my life in the present. I don’t think parents understand that. When they say things like that it sends you into a spiral of doubt. You don’t know what’s you’re feeling or if it’s even real anymore. You feel like you don’t matter. They really don’t get how much their words can affect us

As an "actual adult", I can assure you the problems you are facing now matter. They shape who you are! Yeah, when I was 16 (sigh, that was so long ago) I was worried about much different things, but the stress was still there, and very very real. It's not any less important than what you go through as an adult. I always hated when adults would tell me it just gets worse (for me it has actually gotten much, much better) or that my problems were trivial compared to "real life." Like, yes, I am actually in a simulation that you somehow occupy alongside me except your part is real life. That makes complete sense. 🙄
