Thank you! I definitely think it is an important think to keep in mind. We don't go through the world alone!

[@thegreatwhaley]

Thanks my friend! Sisters definitely make the world a better place!

Your dad was amazing when he was telling patients who asked about your family. He was so proud and my dad came home and told me how great of a dad he was to you. Great video Dana :)

[@thegreatwhaley]

No, thank you for the kind words and support! You're great!

Hello!!! I couldn't agree more. My best friend - who lives in Denmark - is my best ally. Keep on smiling.

It's a NATE! .grin. Okay, I really like your videos, your intelligent reflections and your kindness and attitude. Thank you

high five for allies! good topic

[@thegreatwhaley]

Believe me, it took YEARS to get to this point. And it's definitely hard. But I think it is definitely attainable! Best of luck to you :)

Yeah, I also have one of those amazing sisters who is proud of her trans brother. Pretty awesome. Great video.

[@thegreatwhaley]

I have not made a video on that subject, probably because it is not a huge deal to me. I'll consider it though!

[@thegreatwhaley]

Thanks, Wes! You and I should meet up sometime and make a video. It would be EPIC :)

[@DrawLove]

good vid. btw - have you made a video yet explaining why some trans folk get offended and upset when others don't use their prefered pronoun? I guess they see it as disreispectful? but is it disrispectful to call a he a she and visa versa?
