My Genderation: ALICE

[@danifowles344]

I met alice at the claire project and she is such a lovely person!! She really helped me to accept me! I am glad she is getting the recognition she deserves! Xx

[@georgemaynard746]

I am absolutely in love with this woman. What a beautiful spirit!!!! I just want to hug her.

[@renialroseborough4548]

She is My hero for posting her videos. I loved what you posted

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

This video was the cornerstone for me nearly 6 years ago. I’m so grateful to be alive and to experience all the immense and beautiful change in my life since. It’s absolutely not easy, but our time is now and it’s short. Alice is so right “enough is enough and YOU are enough”. Love you Alice Denny. I thank you often ❤️ As you know my dear.

[@harrow76]

This is so touching, honest and warmhearted. Alice is lovely. All the best to you!

[@rayla285]

[@cantbbad]

Once again I have failed to keep up with KZbin and Tumblr and have to apologise for not responding to messages. TBH I find it really hard to cope with IT and both KZbin and Tumblr refuse to accept new things I have tried to add ( files too big or something) and Ive spent many frustrating hours on the point of throwing my lap top at the window. Sheer incompetence on my part. I really d appreciate the kind essays people send via various routes. Since Lucky Tooth made this film it has been used in Film Festivals and in training workshops and Both Fox and lewis have been involved in some quite amazing work.( they both and Sharon have since become wonderful friends) Since the film was made ( Only 3 years ago!) I have been increasingly involved in performing my poems as opposed to just writing and discarding them. Tonight for example I will be involved with the 'Polari" World Of Words show in Worthing ( Part of the inaugural Worthing Pride) which is such a thrill and honour. It would be great if I could post some more recent performances here- all I can say is I will try. But ( I know , don't begin a sentence with a preposition ;-) ) THANK YOU everyone who has sent kind messages/comments here and elsewhere. We all need a little affirmation and me more than most perhaps. I am just so grateful to be here today and hope everyone of you ( even my secretive troll) has a life full of love, joy and kindness to to others. Mwaaaaah. Alice 31/5/16

[@emma-vd4pm]

such a beautiful poem

[@DrayseSchneider]

"...and I'm here." Me too, queen. Me too.

[@melissawest43]

Think I may have seen you in Hastings last Summer. If so, it’s a small world. Thank you for sharing.

[@runekitsune1208]

Alice's poems always make me cry, she is so sweet

[@emilianeale6291]

I wonder why I have never seen this video before now? I immediately wanted to reach out to you and connect like so many others have said here. One day maybe I will, but for now my darling keep doing what you are doing and stay strong. We may not be physically with you at this time but know that we are actually with you in our hearts. Stay safe, love and best wishes, Emilia 💕🙋🏼

[@dominiquetroszezynski]

merci Alice du fond du cœur

[@harrow76]

Again and again. Pure love 💜❤️🧡!

[@bronsonmcdonald5473]

You're beautiful, Alice. I loved your poem, too.

[@cantbbad]

Oh what a lovely thing to say. Glad you like the poem. My first little book, including Alice's Dream is just out. xx

[@carlosmora5022]

Lovely, congratulations

[@paigec3946]

My - how I envy you! For me,,, shoulda, woulda, coulda. Too little / Too late. I love beautiful people like you! now over 60 - I should have transitioned years ago - but the technology, understanding and acceptance was not near what it is today. HUGS !!! Loved your story.

[@djc2990]

This is incredible. You are a wise woman, Alice, and a kind one.

[@harrow76]

❤Alice you're so beautiful and special!

[@sarahbexon4104]

Alice, you are a beautiful lady and such an inspiration. Thank you for this film.

[@kathymcbride2425]

wonderland in alice what a lovely women x

[@mickdodger8267]

Her poem at the end really touched my heart. So beautiful.

[@sheep1ewe]

What a lovly lady!

[@thoomoo]

Strong person

[@Coufffy]

Hi Alice! We met you at a 'HAVE A WORD' last year. I don't know if you remember - we came from France! Its so lovely to see this video.

[@cantbbad]

Nigel i am so sorry to have missed this. I should check more often. KZbin is reluctant to let me i to my own account it always seems- but put that down to my own incompetence. Thank you. I will try to post more in the future. i do hope life in France is wonderful for you.. With thanks and very best wishes, xxx Alice

[@susanmusgrove2511]

Hi Alice, this just so poignant. It does explain so much of what we go through. Being of an older generation I so understand what you are saying. xx

[@lagrenounouille]

Dear Alice. It's been months since this blew my socks off for the first time, but I keep coming back again and again and again... You move me so much, the softness of your voice, the honesty and sadness and joy in your eyes, in your smile. And the love towards yourself and towards life that one can feel just listening to you telling your own story. Your poem has made me shiver and smile and cry and gasp for air. It makes me wish I could meet you one day and tell you just how freaking beautiful I think you are. Knowing that we'll probably never meet, I tell you here. Sincerely, Léa.

[@cantbbad]

lagrenounouille Dear Lea, sort not to have replied earlier, I don't always see these messages. Your words moved me and gee me the sort of belief that I think we all need. I don't know where you are but yes, wouldn't it be good to meet one day and chat about..life? it's the middle of the night, I have insomnia and amidst editing some poems saw your message somehow and so pleased I did.Thank you so much. xxx Alice

[@cantbbad]

Thank you so much Sarah Bexon. I do think Fox and Lewis have a wonderful style and did a great job. They will undoubtedly go far, not least for their passion and commitment. And thank you again-your remarks are really touching.

[@Rel1369]

Thanks guys for your wonderful, artful and very sensitive way you make these stories. You bring life and light to what could be a dark place. You brighten the lives of so many by what you do and by bringing wonderful people like Alice to meet us. I look forward to many many more stories and people to meet.

[@jackmc2251]

The poem was genuinely beautiful. What a outstanding and courageous woman you are Alice. Thanks for sharing.

[@cantbbad]

I haven't checked here for a while so thank you again for your kind humbling remarks people- I do so appreciate them and that you took the trouble to make them. Just sorry I didn't /can't get back to you personally. Maybe see some of you at next year's Transpride Brighton?

[@alicebroule4234]

I'd like to say Bravo! to Raphael and Lewis for a wonderful short film. Each time I see your work, it is beter than the previous. What a brilliant future you guys have. I hope the filming partnership endures and you can do more and more. And I would also like to say Brava! to Alice. You are a beautiful woman. You look and sound beautiful, your poetry is beautiful, and your inspiration is beautiful. Your physical beauty is enhanced by the beauty that comes from your courage to be yourself. You are authentic, and true. My eyes are dazzled by such beauty. I'd love to be pen pals with you.

[@deborahblack603]

I think I've watched this wonderful film about 6 times in the past 24 hours. Alice, you're a singularly remarkable and authentic human being: warm, open and possessing real feminine beauty. You're also an extremely talented architect of words. (Incidentally, I've just followed you on Twitter).

[@cantbbad]

Thank you so much Debbie. I only just spotted your lovely comment. Mwaaaaah.

[@aniandthebeatles]

that poem brought a tear to my eye - so beautiful

[@paulajayne6781]

Such a beautiful poignant film, thank you so much for sharing your story Alice and thank you to film makers also!

[@hectorcolby63]

Truly wonderful and well produced film, you are an inspiration to people who are struggling right now, too late for my friend who took his life before he could become the man he was meant to be, but hope for the future for many others. Thank you Alice

[@GiselleBel]

Beautiful Alice! Thank you so much for sharing, I feel enriched from seeing this video. Thank you so much to everyone. And a great poem, thank you for sharing that too.

[@itsfine77]

She’s so well spoken and so incredibly beautiful. Thank you.

[@nightworks11]

I love this good going.

[@dragonamoon3312]

Alice, you are beautiful, amazing, perfect and you inspire me! You give me hope! This short film featuring you, made my heart swell and I thank you for putting yourself out there and you need to know that you made many peoples hearts shine by just being you!

[@traceyg2703]

Alice - you're such a beautiful woman and a lovely spirit! I hope your dream, ( from your poem), has come true :)

[@LBForster]

That was beautifully done. Alice, you are stunning. As your poem finished I got a waft of perfume through my window on the warm breeze. It fitted.

[@Gongleboodz]

What a beautiful person that I want to meet badly. All these videos have made me violently cry with joy SO BRAVO TO YOU FOR MAKING ME CRY ALL MORNING BEFORE WORK, GUYS.

[@nathancha834]

What a beautiful soul & immensely strong woman ♡ this left me in tears

[@martinackbar7876]

u look great

[@felixxferd]

It's so good to see people talk for themselves and not someone else doing it for them!

[@sambroyd693]

Wow! What an amazingly open and honest woman. Beautiful and caring, strong and passionate about what she believes in. The poem was so poignant and heart felt. Alice you a wonderful person :-)

[@ShakespeareAvenue]

My world is a beautiful place today because I just discovered Alice. Thank you for this wonderful video. Xx

[@dustyglass]

Loved the poem. Also, your dresses are beautiful, Alice!

[@LewisHancox]

Well said Sophie, couldn't have said it any better x

[@AlexSirAlan]

I'm pretty sure I just fell in love? Alice seems like the ABSOLUTE sweetest of people. Wow. Will be living off the happiness of this for months to come!

[@Mrlittlewolfuk]

lovely :) i do hope this gets transmitted on a commercial TV channel, its high quality and tells such wonderful stories by the people themsleves.

[@cantbbad]

That is such a wonderful thing to say Alex. Your kindness has given me a real lift. xx Alice

[@WinterX27]

This series needs to win some sort of award! Beautiful!

[@JoshuaHubbardmedia]

That was actually beautiful, and that poem.......

[@MegaMenoman]

Wonderful documentary I enjoyed every second I it and actually want to watch it all over again :) thanks or sharing this was incredible!

[@cantbbad]

Thank you Dustyglass . I do love dresses,rarely pass a shop. sometimes actually take a long detour to avoid a clothes shop if I'm in a hurry. I hope to put some of my poems on-line soon. ( when I can work out how to do it :-) ) It really gives me such a thrill if someone tells me they like one of my poems. Thanks again. Mwaah.

[@jadencecardoza9460]

I love you so very much😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@carheit8547]

Hey Alice ! I just stumbled over this video because of a tumblr-post. I rarely comment on youtube, but I really wanted to tell you, that you have a strong impact on people. I am a mid-thirty working mom from germany with no personal experience with anyone LGBT-related.But I recognize a kind heart, a strong and earnest personality and real beauty, when I see them. It only takes these 8 minutes to see, that you are an amazing woman, and I wish you all the best !!!

[@cantbbad]

Thank you, such kind words. I am sorry to take so long to respond, I must check and update more often, The internet and IT daunt me though- it's like getting lost in a maze. But than you so much again. xx Alice

[@cantbbad]

Thank you. I wish... sometimes things just do work out. xx

[@Rel1369]

I said it takes the understanding (better word - awareness) of the fact that we actually choose our responses and actions, as most people do not realise they have that ability and so don't make conscious choices. We see the world through our own experiences, not of others. We all have our "victimness" to deal with and until it is understood that we create our own world that wont change. Ultimately we both support what Lewis and Fox are doing and think Alice is a wonderful and courageous person.

[@Skene63]

She's lovely. I agree with other comments. This is such great quality. It should be broadcasted on TV.

[@sarahway8516]

Sorry this is my first comment on u tube so pressed the wrong tab! I hope this makes it onto commercial tv as this is such a truthful and brave account of what you have been through xx I love your style of clothes and purple tights are AWESOME :-) xxxxx

[@crime_ron]

I wish I could like this video more than once. What a wonderful project this is.

[@amyhughesbudgie]

Really touching stuff. Love this series.

[@cantbbad]

THANK YOU again everyone, hI have once again missed a few people but your support is such a delight- for those who would like to check out some more of my poetry, I ann beginning to get to grips with my blog on Tumblr where there are several more now. The blog is called Alice's Dream. I will try to link it but not sure how. hah -me and technology.

[@kaitsith3081]

She reminds me of my friends mom! So beautiful and classy :)

[@cantbbad]

Thank you TNH. I am working on it. The hardest thing is to stand in front of n audience and recite words, hearing my own voice booming in the mic but they are words I need to say, so no way around it. And I saw your little intro video and agreed with every word- and the way you said them. The world IS full of the most fabulous people, you just have to look for them and avoid the others. I'm on facebook if you want o keep in touch-it would be nice. Byeeee.xx

[@lillianroux2747]

Oh Alice I know exactly how you feel! I am trans and I am who I am 💕

[@sherrisonger9889]

Thanks so much for sharing. The poem is beautiful and you are a beautiful person! Look forward to seeing more updates of what you are doing. Happiness from the U.S.

[@cantbbad]

Hi Sherri, I have just seen your sweet message as I don't check KZbin too often. I was very touched to discover that people like my poetry and get something from my words. The film ( which I think was beautifully shot) has been quite popular, featured in some festivals and is up for an award at the moment. I'm really pleased for the guys in the film company as they are so talented and beginning to get recognition they deserve. I've been doing quite a lot of poetry recital rather than keeping them to myself. Thats's pretty new to me but I enjoy doing them more and more. Sometimes your life just feels so RIGHT. There are a few exciting things coming up I think; when I'm more sure, Ill try to remember to post them here. I tend to use Facebook a lot so you can catch me there if you like and it would be nice to keep in touch. Thank you again Sherri and to everyone else who has said such sweet things who I might have missed. xxx Alice

[@sherrisonger9889]

Alice Denny I would love to keep in touch with u. Where will I find u on facebook?

[@AProducerA]

Alice Denny I loved your poem, Alice :) Especially this line 'cause a friend in this city is purer than gold'.

[@CalamityKim1]

Really beautiful

[@kaymiddleton8137]

What a beautiful lady and a heartfelt video! I'd dare an embrace if I was closer x

[@beccalulu]

Alice, you are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story and I loved your poem. All the best from Idaho. :-)

[@MAJORLYCL3VER]

Oh Alice, what a character! You're an absolute wonder!

[@xohouseofballoons7840]

What a pretty lady you are, just lovely!

[@TransBillie]

much love for Alice, she is wonderful.

[@marcelloshumann1417]

Alice is an insanely delicate plant and a beautiful little woman. She arouses protective instincts in any sensible man. Like Alice, her poetry is too. Delicate and fine. We must thank the Lord God for sending us a person like Alice.

[@alessandromnosh6138]

this video is perfect, inspiration for all of us xx Alice you are beautiful in many ways

[@Spudknuckle]

Great work guys Xx

[@stevendryden101]

beautiful.

[@leanneb9529]

Alice, You are one of the most gentle and beautiful souls I've ever seen! May you have a long, healthy and beautiful life ahead of you! It is so sad you had to transition so late in life. I found you through ❤❤Fox Fisher❤❤ another one of this world's best human beings (and gorgeous on top of it!) I had my grs surgery done in 1987 by Dr James Dalrymple in London, unfortunately he passed away in 2014. He was a wonderful human being. May he RIP. Take care, Hugs n kisses from Vancouver, Canada 💚 💜 💙

[@eerbrev]

Alice, you are So wonderful.

[@cantbbad]

Thank you all for your kind comments about me. I have been genuinely overwhelmed all day. And Kristin,you are right of course but if you only knew... But they guys making the film ( The Three Amigos :-D ) have real talent and sensitivity

[@cantbbad]

Dear everyone who has commented so warmly, just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU. I have never, ever felt so humbled and uplifted than by all you lovely people. Transition is always 'A work in progress" Being a woman-or man is always "a work in progress" Nobody is a "finished article' at least I don't believe so and whilst some of my "deficiencies" are clear and cause me pain, what woman does not experience that on occasion at least? Some things I can't change, I'll do my best.

[@TheFoxFisher]

Please share this film with everyone. Thanks!

[@Mnosh09]

[@alexharveyceramics3297]

you give me hope to keep going on!

[@sarahway8516]

Alice, what a beautiful name, and a gentle and beautiful lady! A good friend shared this with me, I hi

[@stephbk123]

Beautiful, that genuinely made me cry! :')

[@susebennet8394]

What a lovely lady

[@lagrenounouille]

PS: Bravo to Fox and Lewis, you found a way of telling people's stories that feels really unique and really sincere. Whenever I feel the need to dis-alienate someone from trans-issues, I show them one of your portrayals. Thank you!

[@wflerin]

Makes me speechless...

[@JJforNOW88]

Beautiful in every way possible...

[@isobelhumbey9234]

Alice, you are beautiful. I hope to see you around Brighton and send you my best wishes.

[@sophie_somo]

My comment re. stereotyping is in reference to the voice comments - some women have deep voices, it's not just men. The inarguable fact is, that many people may not have the ability OR strength to 'choose' whether they find something 'offensive' or not. I DO agree with you re. your last sentence but again, you just cannot assume that of everyone! Unless you know someone personally then don't get personal! As ALICE HERSELF has replied to someone previously -"if only you knew" - exactly my point!

[@Rel1369]

Of course there is the fact that often it is the intention to offend by the person making the statement. And I don't see that it takes ability or strength to choose, it takes the understanding that it is "your choice" to do whatever it is you want too. Be offended or not, be offensive or not, it is also yours to take whatever consequences come from those choices. No one will ever understand or know experiences of others, we can only use our own. Seeking out others gives us awareness.
