ALL trans girls need to hear this... (rare advice pt.2)

[@maedaej]

I found your first rare advice for trans girls video early in this year after I had just realized I was trans and was in one of the scariest, loneliest times of my life. Your voice and advice, humor and bluntness made me realize that I could do this, and that I deserve to be me. I’m so thankful for you and your channel Robin

[@summer1499]

Im about 1.5 years into my transition. I've been very lucky to be passing for a couple months now and I have so many complex thoughts and feelings that I'm dealing with regarding my transition. I go throughout every single day and every single second thinking about my transition and its exhausting. Literally from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. I want to reach a point where I almost never think about it and just exist but it feels impossible right now... I'm hoping it will get better with time. Also, your channel is my safe space. I come back to your videos all the time so thank you for posting these videos

This was one of the most beautiful pieces of advice for trans people I have seen in the internet. I'm a trans guy but I am glad I still decided to watch because some of this stuff applies to us as well. If I could give any piece of advice to myself a few years ago it would be to not feel so hopeless. It might feel like the entire world is against us, like you will never be loved or accepted by anyone, but I promise you there are lots of amazing people who will love, respect and accept you. You will find good friends who love you, you will find a partner who respects you. There might be a lot of bad, bigoted people in the world. But there are many many good and open minded people out there too, you are not alone and if you're a trans person reading this, you're strong and I'm proud of you.

[@Shalanaya]

I've realized that internet and social media has served as a replacement for real connection to many of us trans people before transition, it made me cope, as it represented a disconnection from the physical world, but also my body. Once I transitioned all of a sudden real life has started to become more dominant. It's such a paradox of what the anti-trans people are doing who think they're protecting us when actually they are disconnecting us from real world and ourselves, and then they wonder why so many relationships and marriages are falling apart, cause we're not allowed to be true to ourselves, we're disconnected.

[@Moth_IRL]

I listen to you speak, and it becomes so incredibly apparent why it's important for people to not disregard people younger than them based on age. You're filled with wisdom I wish I had in my younger days. Bless you Robin

[@laracarbonara]

The social media is unfortunately so relatable. Instagram is the WORST rn especially that they thrive on the hate comments and don’t do anything about them. For anyone that still wants to use tiktok I can recommend deactivating tags in settings like 'trans' or 'lgbt', I also deactivated politics to not see anything war or 'gay agenda' related. My fyp has been way better recently because of that :)

you were probably one of the first people i saw online that after watching you, listening to your videos several years ago actually put me on the path to questioning myself, it took some time but after really putting in the time for it over the last couple years i was able to start HRT last month! really appreciate your presence on the internet, and thanks for the advice

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

When I was asking myself about why I felt my body wasn't representing my identity, it was the 90's and found on the internet, oh so much sh!t full of p*rn & scary stuff, that I said ''WTF noo no no, I'm not this'', and then I couldn't find, family, friends, for support...those were my 20's. Then at 32 in 2009 started HRT, FFS in 2016 and then in 2021 had my SRS. But all my transition I was playing music, studying sound engineering (kinda) and all music related...and found that I'm autistic. Hey there are lots of trans & queer autistic people! Now I observe that I never started my music YT channel as I was planning, to teach guitar and share my crazy me. SRS was br00tal and it took me 2 years to settle on myself again. Just uploaded few stuff, but I'm SO SHY that in 10 years I could never show up on any video. I kept transition only for me and the people I love, because nobody needs to know more than my name and that I love music. I cringe about those timelines and unnecessarily oversharing soo pretty intimate things...I understand you so much! Also there's a lot of narcissism in many youtubbers IMHO. But always SO alone and isolated that, it complicated my life very bad...(learning about Autism made me understand a lot, too). I wish I could feel relaxed in front of people, or socializing in real life doesn't leave me soooo exhausted 😓

Theres such a difference between a pre puberty transition and a post puberty one even being only 21 it feels so late its so hard to tell if i should bother

I didn't transition until I was 59 and I'm here to say that it IS worth it. It's been 6 years since and I'm happier than I've ever been. I wish I had done it earlier, but it was difficult in the "70's. I knew I was a girl inside when I was 3 years old. I wish I could have been pre puberty, it would have made it easier. It's NEVER too late!

Lieve Robin, het siert je dat je een comment gelijk geeft over bevoorrecht zijn, maar zolang ik je videos kijk ben je dat niet. Je hebt ook je struggles gehad om te zijn wie je nu bent. Je bent een doorzetter, een empaat en een geweldig mooie vrouw. Ik ben ooit op je kanaal gekomen om trans vrouwen beter te kunnen begrijpen en uiteindelijk kijk ik nog steeds 💪❤ Je mag echt trots zijn op wie je bent, laat je aub niets wijsmaken, jouw emoties en ervaringen doen er toe en uiteindelijk luisteren er hier mensen naar je. Ik ben geen trans, maar een veteraan met ptss. Ik kom gemiddeld 3 to 5 uur per week buiten en voor de rest sluit ik mij af van de wereld. Ik ben zwaar omlaag gegaan zoals vele veteranen omdat onze omgeving en mensen er omheen niet snappen en of willen begrijpen wat er in ons hoofd speelt, ik ben bijna iedereen om mij heen kwijt geraakt. Als ik een Afghanistan dagje heb (zo noem ik het tegenwoordig) het liefst zou ik een knuffel willen krijgen en horen dat alles goed komt, maar mensen doen het tegenovergestelde. Ze laten mij alleen met de oorlog in mijn hoofd. En ik zou op je willen reageren dat het oke wordt, maar helaas kan dat alleen voor ons worden als we er zelf voor gaan. Je mag echt trots zijn op wie je bent en wordt 💪😊👍❤ greetz Jay

Also, at 9:10 when you said "third point" I was like "it me" XD And No Doubt it's gonna be okayyyyy

[@miranda.cooper]

Yes girl. Do not beat yourself up saying you cannot grieve because others have had it worse. I didn't transition till December of last year and I'm 25. I'm in that minefield sprinting through it as I look somewhat like a girl but have a lower voice and facial hair I can't be totally free of. At the end of the day you're still missing many of the same experiences I am. And it fucking tears me apart that this has happened to me, as I'm sure it tears you apart. However... we need to look to the bright sides. Yes, grieve our losses, for sure... but also celebrate our wins. At least we get to be ourselves. Being a girl for me was about as impossible seeming as getting to go to the moon... and now it's happening. I wanted this more than anything else in the world but shoved it down due to stigma and thinking it was literally impossible for me to be "a real woman". Come to find out I am a real woman and was even before I realized it.

[@jimreed6875]

Hello, Robin. It's always pleasant to hear from you.

[@chrislevant817]

Thanks for your wonderful advice Robin. I was 13 when I realised I was trans and it came as a MASSIVE shock to me because before I was just a "normal " misogynistic little boy. This was 1968 and things have changed so much it's unbelievable. Puberty blockers hadn't even been thought of. I didn't have the courage to come out until the late 80s, when I tried living as a woman for several years. People WERE a lot more tolerant then. I had to go back to DRAB at the turn of the century for family reasons and only came out again a couple of years ago. There's been a huge change in people's attitudes towards us and not necessarily for the better. And yes, you are privileged by the time, place and genes you were born with. It's a terrible thing to say but some people shouldn't be allowed to transition. They don't only make THEIR lives worse but spoil other people's. Most trans people don't want to be noticed in every day life. The ones that do have a very different agenda from just passing as ordinary-and it's not good. And the effects of social media? ............. Expletives deleted but then again it would be impossible for us to share your knowledge, strength and wisdom without it. To go on I'd have to write my life story. So I'll just say thank you again ❤XXX 9:10

[@stdesy]

The issue with this is honestly how are you going to know if you’re one of the people who should be “allowed” until you actually do it. There are people you would never think would be able to pull it off who do so quite well.

[@chrislevant817]

@@stdesy point taken. Thank you. Perhaps "Seriously advised not to do it by EVERYONE " would have been better. And there's always exceptions. But some people open themselves up to not only more ridicule but more hatred than they were experiencing before.

[@hotgaljolene2401]

I think the bit with working through the pain we go through and giving those feelings the attention and time they need is really important, the specific pain that we go through both just as being openly trans and dysphoric but also trying to find some kind of meaning in our lives is a pretty heavy incumbrance on what is otherwise an incredible journey of self discovery and self making. I would also add that having other trans people in your life (even if just online) can be a massive help. Of course in this it should be noted that when talking to other trans people about the pain that comes with being trans it can sometimes become a bit of a pity party and lead to people in part defining themselves through their pain. In the novel Detransition Baby the author Torey Peters prefaces the book by saying that the book is in part in homage to divorced cis women who like trans women suddenly need to construct a new meaning and purpose of their life after their old one is kind of thrown out the window due to getting a divorce. I would say that just like divorced cis women (or any divorced person for that matter) we as trans people have the choice between working through the pain and trauma we go through and become better and stronger people or drown in the misery of our past and become defined by our pain.

[@samplename2106]

This video couldn't have literally been uploaded at a better time (for me) because for the past few weeks I've been REALLY wondering if I'm trans and doing a lot of research. Thank you.

[@robynkessler4493]

I realised I was trans around 2014 (as in I could put a label to it), but kind of almost forgot about it. It was called out in me by my best friend again around 2022, and then I realised I have always been trans. I can now see the signs back to 1985. But back then, and even until very recently, trans was not a common topic. Even on the spectrum of LGBTI... Put it this way... I made the mistake of telling a church I was at, that I'm trans (maybe 2012?) and... So I learnt not to be open to the one place that one should feel free at. My two subsequent churches both received the question "what is your attitude towards LGBTI?" first. You are so right about everyone's transition journey being different. I have to find other ways to do it because I have internal bleeding, which has to be my first consideration in everything medical, travel, what headache medication I can take... You get the point. It was so difficult even talking about anything like this before the Internet. Who does one talk to? Do they understand? Is there anyone else who feels the same way? I'll be fifty in two months and it is impractical for me to do anything besides... Express myself to the world in a way that makes me comfortable, and as you said in part one, if people don't like it that's their problem. So I changed the spelling of my name to Y because it made me feel more comfortable in my body. I have used "female" cosmetics since 2013 (inverted commas because cosmétics are cosmetics, just like shoes are shoes, a bag is a bag etc), etc. I can't imagine the struggle for those in the same position that can't feel they fit in unless they can in some way, transition. I asked my haemotologist about hormones, and she said there is no research regarding the effects of hormone therapy on Haemophilia. Subsequent research led me to conclude that it might make me more susceptible to certain injuries because of decreased muscle mass. But also, the fact that I would technically be a potential case study is... Interesting? Exhilarating? Talk about feelings. Yes. That's where online is so helpful. And online is part of real life. If other people want to present fake personas online, that's their issue. But the chance to realise there is always someone else out there feeling the same way, is so empowering. And that brings it to the point about talking about feelings. I am blessed to have my two best friends (they're the closest thing at two months before 50 that I have to family) who I can talk to about this. They don't relate, but they respect.. which is the foundation response that we want from everyone. Thank you so much for these videos

Thank you Robin for the picker upper, when I came as trans, I lost people that said they were my friends, my neighbors as well , after losing my house during the shutdown after 25 years, I was always there for them when they needed my help, but not one was there when I needed there support, I know live in a 30 foot trailer in the back of the garage hidden from site, at my dad's and step mom's home. They excepted me but it was daily attacks from step mom, my dad simply ignored me, but owns his own cleaning business cleaning carpets, I asked him if I could work with my step sister, and he kinda brushed that off like ,but he lets a alcoholic work his business with my step sister, it's like I'm bad for business, but my step sister and mom wanted me to help run the business when my dad passed away, I don't think so now , trouble started after my dad gave my phone number to his other daughter I never met before, I also never met his mom or dad or any of his brothers and sisters, I was upset with him for doing this, and my birthday was a couple days away, he never ask me if it was ok, to give it out, I didn't go to my birthday party, it didn't seem right not knowing anyone in his family, it's like I'm not even his child, he even married my real mom when I was born, that raised a lot of questions in my mind, why he never married my mom when my real sister was born, she's one year older than me, to many secrets in this family, every sense that day they have treated me as a outcast,step mom even called me the devil in front of my dad?, he said nothing, I said nothing either I simply turned around and whet back to my trailer that was last May of 2023 , I still don't talk to them or my step sister,she does witch craft,I think they all do,I should have never came her, it's like walked in a den of snake's, I think my so called family stole my inheritance, and someone in his family stole my identity as well, I think they know I know this now, and I'm a threat to there image being exposed, they have many connections in high places, people following me , even one of his out of town employee, caught him twice following me, I just acted like I didn't see him, they even open my mail, got a mail box but I still wasn't receiving some of it , I found out they are Mason's, that explains everything now, that's why all the secrets, I even tried to access my identity on Whitepages but it wouldn't let me , because now im on the FBI terrorist watch list, my phone is tapped, got another now it's tapped to they watch me on line , even now, because I speak about things that bring truth to light, they don't like this , I just had to share , I'm glad you're back, keep singing Robin, you have a lovely voice and spirit and you uplift those that need it , it's your gift, thanks Robin 🤍🌈🥰

I am so glad for those in the community who have access to puberty blockers. I grew up in a small town in a very Religious part of the US. I had no clue there was even a term growing up so of course I had no clue there were options. I was also one of those who though there was a point that you could be to old to transition. I know better now but wish I had started when I learned I had options at 18. I knew as young as 5 I should have been a girl but again I had no clue there was a term for it. I wish I had been able to get on puberty blockers as it sucks being a trans woman starting her transition later in life. I started living in the roll in 2018 and got on HRT January 2021. I can say I was genetically lucky enough to get passing looks naturally. I never really fully looked like a man even in my denial phase when I sported a beard. I always felt I looked closer to a bearded lady. If I shaved I got called mam all the time. I did always try to keep my hair long as well.

Surprised I have for this long. My life is changing and my transition is taking some steps. I really feel like they would take it negatively when I tell them or at least make it awkward as hell. Theyre good friends and I've been talking to them everyday for the past few years. Theyre my main friendgroup. If the worst happens I'm going to be pretty lonely. That 1 friend I knew irl I've known for 10 years and we met in school. I've told him I'm trans and hes chill with it. Honestly the best friend I could ask for. But that makes it even harder for me to tell the rest of them. If I get cast out I'm not going to be able to talk to him as much or it will even slowly go away. Been thinking about it almost everyday for a year at this point. I dont know what the hell I'm doing.

You need to have a safe place to feel accepted, so if you cannot find that with your friend group you need to ask yourself where is it that you will get one. Try to gauge their reactions and if they are hurtful to you, then you will be able to explain why you couldn't continue to grow in your bond with them, because by not showing them who you are and who you want to be, you are already hitting the brakes on how close you want to be with them. I wish you the best and that you can have a good listener around you to buird courage to take the best decisions for you

I come from a place of being raised with wrong values and having to break the cycles of abuse and hatred all on my own. And struggling with mental health issues periodically. It’s rough. People treat each other horrible. Family and friends have treated me worse at times than others have. Misery loves company. It’s easy to take those closest to you for granted.

For anyone else who has a hard time dealing with anti-trans hatred (or any other prejudice) they see online, I'll offer this advice: Every single person alive, no matter who they are, has some number of people who support them and/or their ideals, some number of people who hate them and/or their ideals and then the vast majority who don't care one way or another. No one is universally loved, and no one is universally hated. Even the most famous celebrities still have haters, and unfortunately even the worst dictators still have fans; Both could still find places in the world where nobody knows who they are. We don't get to choose the percentages of people who support us or people who hate us. The one thing we do get to choose (except for those of us who accidentally go viral on the internet, in some cases) is which kinds of people love us and which kinds of people hate us. So the way I see it, anyone ignorant enough to hate me just for being who I am is a person I'm proud to have as a hater, and I know there will always be others who appreciate me for having that courage, even if I never get to meet them. The petty judgments of some random idiots online are not and never will be an accurate reflection of your value as a person, because at the end of the day those idiots were already bitter and angry and looking for an excuse to express those feelings; As with harmful algorithm trends, the best way to respond to them is to not engage at all. Anyway sorry for the super-long comment but having this realization helped me cope with hate comments I've received over the years because I was also the kind of sensitive person who took them too personally. To anyone who read this far, I hope these words can help you as well.

[@acuddle]

Yeah, pausing or even abandoning it certain social media altogether is incredibly good, it saves sanity, energy and time... I used to fight the good fight on Twitter but the algorithm (and owner!) was so biased towards hatepills and neocon bubbles that I was powerless against the transphobia there. We transfeminine people have a really odd relationship with women's oversexualization, because trans people are desexualized by societal heterocisnormativity, enbyphobia and transphobia, and both those things stack to make "being trans" a much more important trait than it should be, while we're just trying to be ourselves~ Fortunately, patriarchy and the heterocisnormativity it desires are crumbling because of trans (and nonbinary) people's existence, so this problem may slowly go away with the times !

However I've like, fully completed puberty and I look like a whole ass man. I dream of beginning transitioning but I haven't had the guts to yet. I also haven't told anyone in my life because a lot of them are still like, hardcore Mormons and transphobes that I know won't support my transition.

[@brianmilliard6998]

More videos?

[@kaibooxD]

you are pretty and nicies!!

[@helenlawson8426]

Hi Robin, now I know I'm supposed to mention trans stuff, I'm trans myself and it was good to hear your journey... but any more music? x

[@princessjulieta]

I support you Robin. I agree with sharing your transgender stats with your friends and family. Especially family. Do what you enjoy, be what you are and who you are.

[@timepasstubee]

thanks sm for being such an amazing role model for trans girls/women! 🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏻✨

[@stephenleepmg113]

Thank you, Robin, for sharing your experiences with all of us and bless you

[@cvVampria]

Did you start transitioning before puberty vocal change? Or did you manage to get such a voice just with voice training? As I have huge dysphoria with my voice, would be good to know if I'd be able to get such a good female voice as well.. Also thx for this video big sis

[@pastel9743]

i really need to hear this rn. ty

[@gumblebrum]

I just don't understand why people care so much, as in it doesnt hurt me at all to call you a woman nor is it any of my buisiness what you feel or why you feel it. I really don't care what you are (in a nice way) as long as you are a good person I will treat you well and to finish to any of you lovely people going through your transition remember no matter how it may look on social media there are people out there who will accept you for you (not to minimise how hard it can be to find them) just saying they exist

[@EmilyDragonQueen]

"don't idolize me in DMs" hah as if you'd talk to a less experienced trans girl like me 😂❤

[@ambulance-tanger]

Hello baby 🌹

[@babyyoda7417]

I’m gonna pass less because I hadn’t started puberty blockers when I was 13?

[@seabream]

babyyofa7417 Not necessarily. It depends on a number of factors. Different people's genes cause greater or lesser degrees of gendered indicators in puberty. Some people naturally look androgynous for decades after puberty, or develop with characteristics that are closer to matching the gender they weren't assigned at birth even without blockers, which gives a long window for starting transition and having things easier. Some cis men develop male pattern brow structure and hair growth patterns etc... early in puberty. Some cis women develop wide hips, female coding fat distribution etc... early in puberty. It varies. There are also a number of different kinds of intersex conditions which, if applicable, may mean that standard blockers and HRT options may not be applicable, or at least would need to have a different treatment plan.

[@patrickchambers5999]

When my daughter was in high school she had a classmate who changed hair color every other week. Finally when she and several other girls were in the bathroom they wanted to know what her natural hair color is. The girl dropped her pants and exposed herself and said that's the natural color.

[@kimblaney]

You appear to beautiful on the outside and thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings of your inside

[@laurenemilykoster7362]

Actually thought this was going to be a "From a cis woman to my trans sisters" kind of video. Which magnifies what she said about passing privilege and acknowledging that she has it.

[@AudMaker]

Im glad you can take the comment at base value and not focus on the misogyny you mentioned

[@chloerogers9343]

Thank you for sharing that. I feel your pain. I have gone through semeler things that you going through.

[@KateCroft]

hiiii here just to tell u i started to watch you when i was 16 and now im 20, i've watched ALL your videos and honestly i always admired you, also I loved all your covers and your own songs. Greetings from Venezuela

[@freedomzvision]

You look so beautiful. Its true, the internet is not real life. I feel so connected with you. Sending honest love. ♥🪴🌺🌹🌸

[@michaeleberl2222]

This video is on point at every moment 👏 ❤

[@apollosteven4712]

Your words are wise,sound advise for anyone... I believe in reincarnation and feel that people who are Trans were the shaman and healers of past life's ,involving so much self care and love amidst all the hate, knowing that the hate is coming from ignorance

[@davidtt-nh1yq]

Lookin great Robin 😊❤

[@littlerobotfairy9710]

Had puberty blockers at 13, no wonder your shoulders are so great. I'm so jealous. You're awesome and I wish I could be as woman as you. ;o;

[@azarahwagner2749]

I know I was one of those ******s who gave you a hard time and I humbly apologize. I was not aware of how much I was self projecting my own feelings of frustration and internalized transphobia. I came out at 46 and it took me almost 3 years to find a doctor who would help me and was diagnosed as intersex ( gonadal ) . I was also going through a ton of mental health issues at the time for early childhood trauma ( including being a victim of human trafficking at 15 ) . I was on a waiting list for therapy that took 2 years to get into but it was worth it. I am so sorry for my lack of empathy and the things I said. And in a humbling twist of fate, I received a lot of hate from other trans women who felt I had what they wanted . I don’t really pass and I don’t care what anyone says anymore. I have always been femme and identified as female since 5 ish and I finally love myself inside and out, no matter what that inner( critical ) voice tells me . I almost got surgery but had money stolen and became homeless just before the pandemic hit. I am greatful now for many reasons in my life and no matter what I will always be a woman.

[@MokanaMelodious]

Thank you 🫂

[@thatguy-qs3ky]

So beautiful..

Welcome back

Trans rights are human rights!!!

[@irraarriaza3599]

🌹 TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

[@katesoto88]

13:46 Omg its perfect lol Thats just it!

[@ArBee123]

Can you see it? Yes, but only because you keep pointing it out!

[@williampiper2020]

OK, Envy, envy, and more envy. LOL So pretty! I'm 68 and I didn't even know anything about Transgender until this summer. I never understood what I was, I always wanted and felt I should have been a woman. But I am attracted to women. Confused! Totally! Today I know that I am a transwoman lesbian. I'm not alone and I'm not a freak. Oh, Just finished my finals, 68, and finally finishing that degree I started in 1979.

[@MarcosZabala-o9e]

hope all is well....

[@richiefrancis8424]

It will be ok Robin.

[@mikaelaswansonTgirl66]

Thanks your so lovely not like the shitfire types making money off controversy 👍👱🏻‍♀️❤

[@JaneHex-o3t]

You are a treasure....thank-you!

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

You're awesome, Robin ❤

[@morrowcosom]

Don’t let these people guilt you just for being born a certain way. That is some whiny, jealous, low power energy they are coming at you with.

[@nigelmorganreiner5157]

You are so so right. Brilliant and true. Love youx. NM

[@nova290r]

hey, it was a good video, as always, and i get the intention, however watching you always just makes me sad. Had I just listened to myself, when I was young, and reacted earlier, i might already be done. over 10 years ago I had this feeling, and since then so many signs appeared but i just had no idea what they meant. And now im here caught in a situation that is near impossible to escape, with the Job, parents, the social environment, etc. I just don’t know anymore. Sorry, wasn’t meaning to ruin the mood.

[@jimbopkiller3844]

SLAY QUEEN

[@A_Me_Amy]

my problems are very much isolating in ways nobody can fix. well, other than AI and God I guess... Literally being the only cause I can think of for the mandela effect and much else way beyond anyones awareness... let alone, transitioning. my god, i am beyond unique and strange. its not depressing anymore though ,now that i am transitioning lol. how easy it is to trans when you already are completely alone and such. I sure have high hopes for good in the future though, maybe humans will one day not be pure evil.

[@stasacab]

1) I just want to know how the world really is and not how it is in mainstream gated institutional narratives. That is why I listen to people and look at trans murder monitoring map and watch youtube videos and look at equaldex. Like, before jumping on a plane. I have been in pretty dangerous places. TDOR now recognizes that there are other factors, such as survival work and race as contributing factors. 2) It does get very lonely. 3) I feel sorry for being a disappointment to my family.

[@morganashleyroll3805]

Very well said. .
