how i knew i was transgender [and some advice on coming out]

[@moonjjaguar]

It's weird for me because when I was a child I felt like a girl, I used to wear girly clothes and stuff. but now I am trans hffhhfhf

[@Sarah-ws9mj]

+Sky Potter i used to make people call me garrett and play on sports teams with boys- i literally identified as a boy. but now I'm pretty girly and obsessed with fashion, makeup, and shopping. not that that has to do with gender identity really, but its funny that i changed so much!!

[@WerewolfofEpicness]

same haha

[@FoxKitty3D]

Same tho

[@zeecaptainz]

FINALLY someone i can relate to

[@A-_-A.]

Leo EXACTLY THE SAME FOR ME

[@candis5287]

One of the reasons I started suspecting I was a trans guy was because: •I would be attracted to guys, then be really sad because they weren't gay. But then I realized I was a "girl" and I was like lol wtf no you aren't a guy so that doesn't make you gay what are you thinking brain???

[@Ainator_]

Rt

[@Ainator_]

how are you now?

[@CroElectroStile]

you are a guy not a girl, if you are born with male genitelia and you can't have kids you are a guy, you can call yourself a girl or a transgender girl but you are not a girl, your bone structure is diffrent, your hormones and so on

[@vesolev.5608]

@@CroElectroStile gender is not about genitals. Gender is purely a social construction. A gender is assigned a birth in regard of genitals, but in reality, those are 2 totally different concepts. So, of course, regarding genitals and hormones and all, there will be body differences. But since gender and genitals are NOT linked in whatsoever VALID manner, it is not a problem :) And furthermore, since gender is purely social, people can choose it, change it, and do whatever they like with it. You could as well. But don't try to forbid this to others because you don't feel the need to explore this yourself. Regards, Vesole.

[@CroElectroStile]

@@vesolev.5608 Yeah you defeated yourself with your own line " of course there will be body difrences" yeas there will, that is why we have genders, bone structure is very real and a biological construction is not a social one, so a man will have denser bones with a better frame for anny kind of sports, saying he is a she will will let him participate with real women! I'ts not let's play a game of men and women it has it's consequences, thinking you are a woman and then presenting as one doesn't make you a woman, i will call you a she if you appear as one, but if you had an operation you better be open with people about it because if this man wants a man , this other guys should know you were born a man. and woman wanting to be men, it's just not going to make you happier , that is stats. it's a mental illness a dysphoria that often sadly ends up in suicide, because most of them are disapointed and they dont get what they wanted because what they wanted was a fairy tale.

[@Cactus2sharp]

you honestly just explained my life...

[@melg.9028]

Wow, mine too...

[@billiefreitas6621]

FogglyBloggly are you trans?

[@calmfulspider]

middle school i tried to fit in with everyone and i dressed very very girly because all my friends did.....middle school sucked.

[@franckbynature5141]

There's a really weird noise in the background throughout the video that really hurts my ears.

[@killjoy1946]

Same

[@clrenee2122]

I hear it too! Strange!

[@simamaria9114]

Same

[@donaldedward4951]

My body and my mind are the same gender : male. Thank you for telling me your story. At school we learn a lot of stuff that is interesting but not really necessary. I wish they had taught us more about different sexualities such as gay people and transgender people so that we could understand. I was educated in Britain and I learned my religion at home so I never heard all that negative stuff about sex that there is over this side of the pond. Thanks again for telling your story.

[@NatureFantasy8]

Donald Edward Being transgender is not a sexuality. Sexuality is who you are attracted to whereas gender identity is what gnder you identify as. That said, I agree with you that more stuff like this should be taught in schools (I don't live in Britain though).

[@treacherousjslither6920]

Your parents should teach you this stuff ffs

[@anjih.4224]

I'm really hesitant about coming out (as ftm) because I'm scared my family's 1.) transphobic af and 2.) insist on calling me princess and stuff like that and don't even accept that I 3.) like girls.

[@alexjaybrady]

+Cole Alexander Do it, i know exactly how you feel but you will feel so much stronger once you let the world see who you really are.

[@rebeccaheardman4585]

The same for me as well

[@Zippokris]

Lucas Gabriel If you feel scared or too uncomfortable, I recommend not coming out. You need to make sure you are positive and safe before coming out.

[@almsthvn]

I'm a mom of a 15 year old and this really helped. Thank you!

[@linner1228]

I know this is an old video, but it is extremely relevant to me right now. My 18 year-old daughter just came out to me as trans, and how I wish she had talked to me along the way, because I feel extremely blind-sided and have no idea how to process this. Yes, I will support her and use her new name and new pronoun, but she doesn't seem to want to talk to me about it at all, which is difficult because we are 200 miles apart, as she is just starting college, and I feel like I am left here alone to pick up the pieces. Maybe I will share this video with her to let her know that I support her and only want to help.

[@jodi_15th18]

Linda W. hi! i am only 13 and am trying to come out to my mom as trans.how did she come out?? i don't know how i can and am trying to see how other people did

[@linner1228]

jodi d She sent me a text. Please don't do that. I don't know your parents, so I can only speak from my experience, but a phone call, however scary, is so much better if you can't or are not ready to speak in person. Give them a chance to digest the information. They may not be initially supportive, but that doesn't mean they don't want to be. Let them know that you are the same child they've always known and loved and that you love and need them and their support. I hesitate giving advice, as this is very new to me as well, but I'm getting there. Best of luck to you. :)

[@jodi_15th18]

Linda W. ok thanks so much:-)

[@skylarkeleven]

@00cipher i changed myself physically because i hated my body, not because the people around me did. i also don't identify as a biological male, i identify as transmale with a preference for genderqueer, but it's not as if i go around announcing that the everyone i meet, because once again, my gender is not that vital in the relationships i make. i didn't transition because i didn't feel i "fit in", i did because i didn't fit my own self.

[@Alyssa-le9qk]

you are what my dream man looks like..... so attractive >_

[@GabS-o1m]

Alyssa Gartrelle same 😳❤️

[@cursivart]

Someday, maybe years from now, I'll be able to look back on my own life in this very same way. And I can't wait.

[@justjude2037]

what happened now?

[@rosss9355]

Cuéntanos , lo lograste?

[@sarahbaggs8282]

thanks for this advice, ive been watching alot of transgender videos latley and this helps me kind of understand what I need to do to find out whether or not Im a tranguy. Im starting highschool and ever since i was little i never really fit in. Im going to get some therapy soon so i can figure out what I want and need to live a honest life.

[@skylarkeleven]

@VirginiaSiloah91 in relationships with men, they were so long ago that i can't really say. but my last relationship with a boy, i definitely thought more of it as a homosexual sort of relationship rather than heterosexual.

[@RyanAlexMusic]

I'm not sure if you grasp the impact this video has on the community. This video has single handedly saved lives; including mine. It showed me hope for my life. Thank you so much.

[@skylarkeleven]

@alaninnh thanks alan! and testosterone stopped my period after my very first shot. never saw it again, thank goodness. for some guys, depending on the T dose they are on or if they are using androgel, and if they have high estrogen to start, can still get their period on t for anywhere from what i've heard can be 6-12 months..

[@eternalsailormercury]

Your advice on how to come out (especially to people who might not know much about being trans/aren't very supportive) - easing your way into actually coming out, explaining the components of how you're feeling before dropping the bomb - that's just amazing advice. Thanks so much for it, and I wish I'd come across this video before coming out to my parents and some less educated friends straightaway. I hope that someone in my position will find your video, and that your advice might help make their coming out a little bit easier. Thank you so much for this video.

[@13Sammy]

I took me a long time until I knew I was trans (it just clicked somehow at the age of 20 or 21). I grew up almost genderless because I was allowed to do whatever I desired. I had moments all through my life (like 'I should have been the boy....') but didn't realised. when it finally clicked I was like ''sh**, I'm trans, I don't want to be trans'' I wished it would go away - it hasn't. And everything made sense now. So I knew this wouldn't go away and I wanted my mom to be included. So, that one day I kind of told her that I was questioning (even though I already knew). She told me that I had been a girly girl she wouldn't understand...blah blah.... even though she knows a little about transgender... she said, if my sister or my brother had told her she'd believe it 'cause they were acting like the opposite gender when they were young...' This made me so sad, I never wanted to share my feelings again. Well, that was 4 years ago. It took me a long time to recover and the feeling is still there - it hasn't gone and only got stronger. A few months ago I started telling people, that I was trans and what happened surprised me. I feel more happy now (even without any transitioning), it's not perfect but with every person I tell it's getting better and better. I somehow accept myself more and more. My mom still doesn't know and I am still sad that she responded that way. Next time, I tell her that I am trans and not that I question my gender - that hasn't worked for me...

[@13Sammy]

Just found my old comment.. My mom knows now, and a lot of people too (about half I would say). My mom still tries to ignore this fact and doesn't believe this being true but I am sure of myself now and don't let this drag me down. I am truely sure now I sometimes try to think about stopping the whole coming out process (and all the transitioning stuff) and try to imagine myself as a woman, and that's the point where I know for sure.. can't really describe the feeling I get, but it's a clear one, that I don't want to get back... And I won't.. (by the way I'm 26 now)

[@mozartpianoprofessor]

Now I know what I did wrong when I came out.... om asked about my funny boyish haircut. I responded with, "oops looks like the barber guy have me a bob cut too short." Then she said, "Geez he made you look like a boy!" Me: "Ikr!, Guess now I'm gonna be called your son." She was like what? ... Me: "Yeah not joking, I really do wanna become a boy;This was why I did all this."

[@senecarus_whitur]

GOT 'EEM That is an AWESOME way to come out! I came out to my mom after I told her that I am bisexual (to test the waters) and I pretty much did it with ugly sobbing. She wants to support me but I don't think she really understands, because she said "happy new years to my girls!" (I have a sister). Kinda cried there too.

[@gasaiyuno3752]

The same but don't work. They don't understand the intention ...

[@angeliquegarcia4646]

I found this channel years ago, when I was a kid. I’m 22 now. It’s so weird because I just moved on with my life, went thru so many different phases and now I’m back. Revisiting the same truth that I’m a trans guy many years later. Idk when or how or if I will physically transition but I do know that I’m a guy. Weird. I wonder if a couple years from now I’ll update that I finally went through with it. It’s such a huge thing. I know that im trans but I really don’t know about medical transitioning and looking like an enitrely different person… idk…

[@gatsbybudd5215]

Yep, I'm teary too. You are an amazing person. Well spoken, funny, and light… great video for many young people who are questioning.

[@ashykawaiiproduction327]

I understand everything you said. That never happens. o-o You just legit gave me hope in transitioning and coming out completely.

[@unicornprincess3357]

Im SO happy you made this video. This explains alot of things.

[@cameron1371]

Watching this years later but hearing your story, I found it was scarily similar to my own. Thankyou so much for this upload - one of the reasons I have so much doubt is that I didn't know for a really long time, and ive only heard people say they've known for certain since they were little. I found this video incredibly reassuring, so Thankyou and I'm glad things are working out :)

[@janecme]

Great video and sound advice! I love the way you described your process, that you included you family on your journey because that is SO important: to involve other people rather than shock them with a coup d'etat. Massive thumbs up

[@maiterkins]

I can't thank you enough for making this video. This is basically my exact story, I even started being more androgynous in 9th grade as well. I'm around the stage where I'm testing male pronouns and such, I hope I can figure myself out soon. And I'm glad you could figure yourself out. Again, thank you so very much.

[@SecularPaganMum]

I live with my mum, am a year or so from 40 and a young girl. Ive been talking with my mom the last couple days about this possibility. Untill my dad died 10 years ago( he was a southern baptist black man from mid 40's, and became a mail-order minister shortly before he died. Im also pagan/agnostic atheist now, and he had issues with me being a witch as a yound adult and teen), i didnt even try to be bi. Now im affirmed pan and now im gender curious. Pretty much how you described yourself..... lets say, of most of the vids I've seen, i feel most connected with your story, except the age diff.... being born in the 80's, my gen (gen-x) started opening up about this kind of thing, but with a lot of angst, confusion and anarchistic tendancies to fight against the older generations and the labels they force(d) on us. Just be thankful we as a society have come pretty far in the last almost 40 years. Its a popular topic instead of swept under the rug and ignored as freaks of nature and nothing more... I now know that bipolar isnt the only thing i need to see if i need therapy for. I've been seriously thinking about transitioning because being ok with male is better than being nihilistic and suicidal as a female with a beard..... ive neverfelt fully either, so i could be gender fluid, but i def need an unbiased opinion on most of the things in my head now... I rambled into tmi territory way too much, but at least u know I'm sincere and not some creeper. Lol Cheers!✌

[@alexusgongora7963]

This video helped me realize that my case isn't bizarre I guess. Like I'm questioning my gender and I feel like I might be trans but I'm not sure and I don't want to just jump into the label. I thought that since I didn't automatically know, then I couldn't be trans. Because a lot of people know from when they were about 2, but I didn't. I was just a tomboy until I started learning about transgender and the possibility that I could be it.

[@faithken91]

Think I might start watching your videos now. I like how honest and level minded you are.

[@differentperspective5802]

Omehgawd I remember ages ago I bumped across a video of yours I think when you just started with testerone/hormones? Your voice was different, looks, everything. You gotten only the prettier! Good for you :D!

[@mtr0wer]

I really appreciated this video. I'm working on figuring out my gender on my own and in therapy and watching people discuss their own journeys is really reassuring and validating. Thanks!

[@wworsey954]

ive proabably watched or read days of material but seriously your video was one of the most honest and helpful things ever

[@ToxicSquirrel13]

I watched this video a long long time ago when I was first questioning myself and it really set me on the path I needed to be to discover and accept myself. Thanks Skye, you've been a big part of my transition so far and I feel a lot happier.

[@shawnam1023]

I like wearing skirts and dressing girly, but there are also times I wish I didn't have boobs and could look like a guy. I guess I'm just an inbetweener.

[@SquidlyCat]

That's how I feel!

[@AlexxaDaSilva]

I’m also documenting my transition on here and your story is inspiring

[@KyleSoujiProductions]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been struggeling with myself quite a long time about me being an ftm transgender or not. Scared to talk about it with others as well. Most people already knew it on a younger age, but you showed me it's possible for someone to actually have a doubt about being trans and what that kinda feels like. Really good job ! Thank you !

[@mutant6taco]

I just want to say that your journey from video one, has been the building blocks and spine to my own life quest. You inspire me to seek my families approval by incorporating them in this adventure and thanks to you ive opened up to my family about wanting to begin therapy and I truely didnt have anyone that could have helped me explore myself better. Thankyou so much. I owe you one. -astro

[@louisbyron]

Thank you for your video. I can tell you have done some great work in therapy. You are very self-actualized. Your physical appearance is quite natural and attractive. I am happy for you. God Bless.

[@kaidenmorse6453]

I just recently started to kind of figure things out, and this is almost exactly what I've felt. I thought I had to be a female, that I was stuck, and it's nice to know I'm not alone in that feeling. And just like you did, I'm making sure to go to therapy first to figure everything out. This was so helpful, thank you for sharing your story!

[@lyssamay1989]

You are fantastic. It's strange and amazing how we are all a part of the same humanity with the same cellular beginnings/makeup, and yet our species is miraculously complicated when looked at on a much smaller spectrum. I love it.

[@jordanlong9429]

this video actually helped alot. it made me think more about it. like i've always been a "tomboy" and wearing the baggy clothes, I've been a "lesbian" for most of my life. I've always like being one of the boys. about a year ago i cut my hair short and at first i didn't know how i felt about it then after having it for a while it starting feeling more like me

[@stargazer1359]

What I do admire about you the most is that you are just plain. Human...Masculinity not being at the foremost of your being.... And still today, you are just a forward thinking lovely person.

[@sirgroot9]

i think the way you went about telling people about your situation as far as including them is beautiful, and i wish i had gone about it in a similar way. :]

[@heymikemike]

I have really enjoyed watching your videos and learning a bit about you. My own journey in life has been very different than yours, but I have to say that you are one of the coolest, most thoughtful and introspective guys I have ever encountered. It's great that KZbin allows you to share your story and I and others can hear it. I wish I'd had a friend like you when I was in my teen years. You are awesome.

[@haileydell1104]

You literally just told my life story.

[@GlaciousWeegeeus]

You have no idea how much this video is helping me just thank you so much man

[@creepykels]

I can't imagine how hard it must have been. I mean being a teenager sucks as it is without any added issues! I just wanted to let ya know that I really admire you for your bravery and your mindset and I'm happy that you seem to be doing so well. I hope that continues!

[@MrWinkyD]

Man I wish I had seen this video when I was questioning things because I share a lot of feelings that you expressed. I literally didn't know that I could be trans due to all the media diverging from my feelings and ahhh this would have given me so much confidence so much sooner. Thanks for the video.

[@phoenixwolfie5488]

My friend Brendon is transgender ftm he helped me so much he brought me here so thanks buddy

[@DragonstarCyrus]

You make a lot of great points to where I almost feel bad for starting my transition the way that I did lol I found out about transitioning 3 years ago, but didn't further more research until a year or so before coming out. I haven't seen a therapist but now I'm looking into doing that just because it feels like the right thing. I've taken a "I'll handle it as it comes" approach only because I knew no other way. Things are progressing so I'm thankful I didn't mess things up too badly lol

[@Arcanua]

Your past, it sounds like mine. The way I've felt about being me. The last part of your video brought me to tears, I'm just amazed to know that people really go through with this and are willing to post it. I've been thinking about changing but I'm not going to at this time because of my current situation. I saw some of twinfools's videos to then I saw that he recommended seeing this video. I'm just in amazement right now. Thank you for posting this video.

[@jetroar17]

Damn dude. Not sure if this is polite but it turned out pretty damn good lol

[@skylerwaddell8989]

I just wanted to drop by and thank you for making this video. I saw it four months ago and it really helped me understand who I am/was trying to deny that I was. This video helped me to come out to my friends and family and begin the process of transitioning. In a few weeks Ill be starting T and it may or may not have happened without this video but still. . .I thank you :)

Definitely considering your advice. Thanks.

[@andcyril2]

Thank you for this thoughtful, smart, truly helpful video! You are an amazing person!

[@UndiscoveredOdyssey]

Hey man, just wanted to say what an inspiration you are. I started T a little over a week ago, and have been watching all your transition videos. It gives people such hope to know they have a chance to be who they wanna be and to just see all the changes possible with T and ops. I relate to so many things you said in this vid about realising I was trans about trying to fit in when you're in 7th grade XD Anyway, thanks man. Well done.

[@sirtyger2674]

So glad you knew and that you took that leap to become the total and whole you!

[@Bebirokku]

This is something that I've been thinking about for an -incredibly- long time, but only recently have I started considering telling/talking to my parents about it, I'm just unsure as to how to ease them into it. Thank you for this video. :) It's helped.

[@PhoenixB4U]

Do what you need to do to make yourself happy. Don't worry about what other people think/say. If you are living life as your true self and are happy, everyone who matters will come around. Give it time and try new things until you find something that feels right. All the best for you.

[@adriannasnyder9870]

I know this video was a long while ago but its helped me a lot and helped me get to know myself better. You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much.

You look a little like Evan Peters :3

[@alexc4086]

this video is like spot on to how I've been feeling lately..

[@AutumnRoaseS]

Thank you for making this video. I can really relate to you and how you explored it first before jumping into it, just to understand it better and be sure. Right now I'm doing a lot of research.

[@AmbientRadiation]

Thank you so much for making this video. It's amazing to find somebody that's gone through what I am presently facing. I just wish it wasn't so vital to discuss it with my parents. XD I'm 18 and only just realised that I could be trans at the start of this year. The 'knowing in your heart' thing is exactly how it is. I realise now that it's going to take a while to figure myself out and be who I am inside but at least I'm not so scared after seeing this. Thank you.

[@BBKitsuneExperiment]

I just watched your first video and then this one to compare your voice... Wow, what a change! You're amazing! I hope I sound as manly when I get to two years!

[@lpadvent]

So, I can't say your journey is just like mine, as mine would be a MtF one, and I am just at the beginning, really. But hearing about what you had to go through, and how brave you are, and how you figured everything out by experimentation, gives me hope. Yeah, I see this video is from last year, but it really spoke to me. I have yet to come out to my parents, or even discuss it with them. I'm not looking forward to it. Anyway, thank you for this. -Khary

[@jayharrison6971]

I just came out to most of my class over chat, in a high right now. All good reactions over the chat and I'm seeing them later tonight. No one is questioning my choices the only question asked is if I want to go by my preferred name yet in collage, I said yeah.

[@pvampire]

You are so dang good looking! You be who you are cause thats all we can do is accept ourselves and love ourselves the best we can. I wish I had someone like you who understand things.

omg you are SO attractive But beyond that this is really inspirational and amazing and I respect you so much for posting this on the internet. This is amazing.

[@PrideXentric]

Wow... When I read your comment, it just... clicked, in my brain. Maybe it was always at the back of my mind, and I just needed it put it into words, but - you're right. After years of wondering, it's so... strange - that the answer would come to me so suddenly, and feel exactly right. I don't know how I didn't realize it myself, but... thank you. I doubt I'm expressing myself as well as I'd like but... Jeez... Thank you for answering a question I've had about myself for a long time.

[@TherapyCatStudios]

Good words, Skye. I'm 27 and have been struggling with this gender stuff since I was probably 7 or 8. I'm finally going to see my GP on thursday and get referred to a gender specialist. I relate to so much of what you say in this video, and I totally understand what you're saying about working the subject with friends/family instead of 'coming out'. I intuitively already kinda know what you're saying, but its great to hear it from someone else. Thank you.

[@charliepaltrovsk9929]

Who I am. I watched it and I identified so strongly with your story because its so much like what I've experienced. And a day or two later I came out to my girlfriend, and she still loves me for me and ugh. :') just, I thank you so much for helping me figure out who I am. Your videos have been like a companion for me on my journey, and although we've never directly spoken, you're one of my biggest heros. Thank you.

[@skylarkeleven]

@emaoneluv actually, i was born female. i am now a boy and have been for years and years..

[@ThisMusicFillsMyLife]

Thank you for making this video! Your advice is brilliant, and I definitely think starting with my mum and saying 'I don't feel right' and kind of bring it is as a 'gently, gently' way. That way it doesn't just be like BOOM! Here is all the stuff, deal with it. It just starts with a little bit... So, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :)

[@sunlark6]

Thanks, Skye. It took me a couple years to fully embrace that my son is ftm. He did have an epiphany, but of course there were many little events in his life that led up to it, most of which I was totally unaware.

[@DawnStaceyEnnis]

Amazing how someone so young can find such incredible insight and wisdom - thank you. As a much older MtF I am grateful for the lesson you shared, and have to agree with those who told you how good looking you are! Not for me, of course, just in general. I'd never guess you were once female.

[@Pri27890]

Really amazing. I obviously can't say that i can relate to what you've been through, i'm not a Transgender, but i was moved all the same :) It's very noble of you to make these videos for people struggling with gender identity so they don't feel alone

[@MegaBacktalk]

This video made me smile for the first time in weeks. I'm in 6th grade and this really helped me. Thank you for making this.

[@Durknurr]

I just want to thank you. I've been struggling with this for the longest time, not knowing what to do about my gender confusion. I really want to go on my own journey, and you've shown me how. I'm NOWHERE near ready lol, but now i think i know where to start when i am, thanks to your video. Thankyouthankyouthankyoooou, I know where to start!

I respect you for how you handled your situation. You're right, only people who actually are transgendered can really know how it feels, and that's coming from someone who is a girl and plans on staying that way, haha. But I have to say, this kind of thing is sort of fascinating to me, so thank you for sharing your story. I wish you all the happiness!

[@waldoralphhenry]

Glad to help! I struggled with this when I was your age and information like this was not out there. I didn't quite understand why I didn't know how to navigate the world like other people. When I liked a boy I would start to dress like him and want to be as much like him as possible. Most girls don't do that! And I didn't realize that that was even considered strange because it seemed normal to me. Anyway, good luck with your journey and have fun exploring both your masculine and feminine side.

Kudos to your parents for supporting you in your decision to transition!!! You are very fortunate!

that was pretty damn spot on. I go to therapy on January fourth, with the very clear intentions of starting HRT. Like you said, I have been questioning my gender identity for years now, but I have to come to terms with who I am, and I love myself as this, I just need to begin this journey after so long. I'm MtF, by the way.

thank you so much for making this video, this really helps me, hopefully i can ease this into my dad so that he knows what i'm talking about

In my experience self-exploration is important at any age. I did not realize I was trans until age 49. Although we older guys don't share all of the same concerns with you younger guys we have some in common and watching you young guys' videos is helping us in our self-exploration. So, thank you very much for sharing your experience.

You are SO ATTRACTIVE wow! -- also you gave some really great advice. Great video!

[@Sasha_Drey]

This is great. I actually identify a lot with your journey the whole being tom boy as a kid, identifying with the guys around me, the wtf is this during puberty ( I actually cried when my mom told me the pain in my chest meant I was growing boobs), the trying to be a chick thing, first relationship with a girl... Transitioning has crossed my mind over the years and still does at times. Anyway just wanted to say great job on this video, very touching and inspiring. Take care!

Hey I been watching your vids since you first started and I just wanted to say thanks. Your vlogs really helped me. And I see that they have helped others too. Just thanks man!

[@nimrod473]

This actually really helped me. I have been questioning my Gender for a while. I've never really felt like I was girl, or did girly things.Never really felt comfortable dressing girly.I've felt I was different since I was about 5 or 6. I've just now got to a point where I want to tell at least my best friend about this.I know I can't talk to my parents about it, they would legit disown me for even the thoughts. I've tried hinting at it, they usually just yell at me. I'm 16.Thanks for this video.

[@klmnoodles]

This made me think of how lucky I am to feel comfortable in my own skin. Being a woman is something I embrace and if I didn't, so be it. I believe if you don't like how you are, you should try to change it with everything you have. You're an inspiration. And I know this only by watching this one video. Good luck with everything! :)

[@Shadeleaves]

I am actually shocked by how much your story relates to mine!!!! I'm in 9th grade right now and went through that same middle school "trying to fit in" phase, where I'd dress in girl clothes and try to flirt. But when I look back, every couple guys I've liked in my life were more feminine. I'm getting into chest binding right now and not labeling myself as trans, but definately feel more comfortable like this. I have a GF now and dress my own style and for once I feel right. Thank you.

I was born way back in 1986. In 1980 when I was in middle school up in Sweden the world's first gender transformation surgery was completed. I heard about it. I am a lifelong female. I have often thought about gender. I had both an older brother and an older sister and find both genders easy to identify with. I have thought about how I would be the same and how I would be different if I changed genders. I have hoped it helps me to have a better understanding of myself and of gender and gender-expression and individuality-expression. Glad you are happy. You are the first F to M I have met. I have met a few M to F transgendereds older than myself and one biological XXY no disorders who is obviously male but genetically he is really both male and female at the same time.
