Watch Me Exist: Trans Short Film

[@loonyloune]

I only just came out to my therapist a month ago, today. Even most of my close friends still have no idea. I’ve known for years, now, and it just became too evident to push aside and ignore and deny any longer. I’m planning to come out, at least to some of my friends, in the near future. But... it’s terrifying. There are so many unknowns, so many questions. It feels hopeless so much of the time. But.... I’m not alone. I’ll make it, some way, somehow, someday. Thanks for posting this.

[@DarkAngelCookie]

You are valid and beautiful and loved and not alone!!! We're with you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lillianroux2747]

Facetious Feline you’re not alone. Since I was a young boy I knew I was a girl. I had no one to talk to. Now as an older trans woman I still have no one to talk to. But I’m alive and happy and couldn’t ask for anything better. God bless you, I’m here if you want to talk 💕

Hi I'm Evelyn Hensen trans woman it's very hard can't find work can't get into some schools because of people's religious beliefs covid 19 has the world closed down and the conservative president we have right now is making things worse for trans people I'am who I'am I'm Transgender And I'm out 15 months in Georgia it sucks right now maybe things will get better some day I don't know

[@almohvn33]

I wish we lived in a world where fear was not there. There is NO reason for it. Let people be who they are!

[@nataliew2653]

i'm in your exact position. I have no idea how to tell my parents i'm actually their son. If I find the courage to tell them someday so can you. :)

[@charliekitten5631]

Be strong my sisters, brothers, and siblings. Be brave. And if you can not, we will be afraid together.

[@allyhouser1495]

Absolutely incredible job on this one. A touching and, unfortunately, all too real story. The first song, "Everything's Mine", moved me very deeply. Absolutely gorgeous song. Great lyrics and what an amazing voice. I literally felt every word. I cried...skipped straight back to the beginning...listened again...cried again. I'm not sure of the name of the person who portrayed Max, but it was very well done. I started my transition four months ago. Last month I informed my family that I'm trans. I recently found your channel and immediately started following it. Thank you for work. Keep up the great work and keep informing the world.

Don´t just watch me exist, watch me thrive.

[@asher4733]

I’ve had self esteem issues my whole life, but a couple months ago I looked into the mirror and stopped trying to see a girl and just tried to see me. Since then I’ve realized I’m non-binary and my self esteem has gotten a lot better.

[@moodyonroody5313]

we're all non-binary to some degree imho ... 'just seeing me' without having to take hormones or surgery or wearing this that or the other ... wish you a good life.

[@emma34834]

I’m non-binary to and bi ❤

[@lyraburke2104]

I wish I could find these songs on Spotify, I want to listen to them over and over

[@jessicaft89]

I hope I've heard these lyrics correctly. Please correct any I haven't. I found these so beautiful. There is a boy, he lives under my skin If I pay with my sweat then I might find him Clings to my bones where my breath comes in And he's strong, strong as the ocean is. Oh, there is a girl and she lives in my eye She makes her appearance each time that I cry She shows herself lively each time that I smile And I'll carry her with me, ever my child Oh, and I come from the place inbetween Ever conflicted and ever unseen Oh, there is a boy to a maiden betrothe Bound up together under my clothes Who you should speak to? Well, God only knows And who will live longer? Well, God only knows Oh, and I come from the place inbetween And I'm guided by both of these spirits it seems Now I live outside the lines When nothings forbidden, and everything's mine. Everything's mine

[@LazLore]

This is so original, such a great creation

[@typicallyteamtyler]

Hey, im going through a lot and no one understands me. I am going through transition and no one in my life accepts me. Actually they quite hate it a lot. Is there another trans person going through this? Or that has gone through this? I'm all alone.

[@cats_are_c0ol]

I'm here for you..

[@esdee4996]

Very not alone. Just we tend to be geographically (and emotionally) isolated.

[@lillianroux2747]

Tyler you have a friend and you are not alone. I’ve given up on my family but my friends are now my family. God bless be strong stay strong 💕

[@jaxthetrans2885]

Bro I get you... My gramps and some of my friends don't accept it and refuse to. I'm a trans guy. Your not alone...

[@OK-ws6ep]

I get it dude. We’re not alone, all of us trans folk gotta find each other. Not alone, just isolated

[@patburrell496]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I'm beginning to understand what my granddaughter is going through. We've as a family have always excepted who she was. But now I get to support her journey. I feel very honored to have this opportunity to be with them.

[@cazhatten3341]

its heart warming to hear you support your grandchilds journey. i knew from an early age but the world was different, i'll use every last ounce of energy to make this a better world 4 those that will follow. the world can be cruel to us, glad you will be there with a hug,smile & reassurance

[@robertcrusher1972]

This was great. Thank you for your good work in the world. The artfulness you put into this is really great. I'm NBi but look my AGAB and I really hear with what the person says at the end. Even people that look like we are on the binary, or people on the binary, may be exhausted by gender policing and the way it can let systems that control us in negative ways, have too much power in our lives, so much so, that it's time to question those normative mores, time to reorganize the way we have a relationship to the binary, and time to be in a world where we exist in the way that feel how we grew up feeling on the inside allowed to be outside. Let us be whom we are as we go. That is what I am finally doing at 48 years old since I was 45 . This started after I had an epiphany that a lot of my feelings growing up were managing abuse, because I "wasn't feminine enough" and was "too eccentric for other boys" frienships. Even tho I wanted to hand out with the boys. I remember when I was 6, 7, 8, teachers wagging their fingers in my face and saying, "that's not how young ladies act", and frankly, it didn't even make sense, or what they wanted me to do. I would try to perform femininity for people and it felt bad. But strangely enough, I DO have feminity thats natural, on my personal terms, comes from just me, and that feels right; same as I feel about my masculine side(s). So, even if I was cisgender, and on the binary, those moments where I brought up gender policing, that sort of way of treating them, can still hurt kids. Look at how tough and mean they expect boys to act....it's time to let us all exist in a place where we decide what those identities are, thru our own inner self, safely allowed to express outwardly, no pressure to perform expectations of gender, becuase its our life, and we will figure it out. I know i did.

[@chiarahappyness5522]

"Beauty is in the eyes of the person that looks at it" as they say where I live, do not give up my transgender brothers and sisters, you are not alone, do not care about the ignorants that hate you, you are beutifull, you are amazing people, don't let people tell you how you should be

[@GluttonyBiscuits]

Someday, my whole family will accept me for who I am. I'll get there, but I just have to take this trip one step at a time. Believe in others, believe in your family, and most of all, believe in yourself. You can do it.

[@weewaa13]

This was so beautiful and from like halfway through I had constant tears in my eyes

[@roxya9153]

I cried. It took my breath away. I’m trans ftm the name is Tyrone (Ty)💖 LGBT+ rights for everyone and everyone is gorgeous💖

Its cool that you're ftm trans 😊 I like your name too Im also ftm trans,i go by the name heba (its an egyptian/aribic name that means gift..im not from that part of the world though,i just like the name) i also go by the name vox when online

[@luica5988]

I literally just came across this account and I am trans ftm and I have been out to my family for 8 months. I was starting to think I was the only one like myself, the fact that I’m trans. I’ve been called a freak and a lesbian at school fo a while even though I’m not out at school, it scares me to come out at school. This is an amazing Channel:)

[@robokillers]

well, i hope you have good luck coming out at school dude!

[@sheep1ewe]

wery toching, great job! I think a lot of hate emanates from people feel discomfortable by being confronted with the truth and that ouches something inside them that makes them feel unsecure and shameful when they are confronted with the truth.

@@Smnunicorn oh my goodness you just made my day. I haven’t had many people genuinely care about that. Well, I did a bit more self reflection and found out that I’m a trans guy and I’m not comfortable As a girl in any way. I told my family and it has been so rough honestly. Stuff is a lot better now but they said some really painful things. On many different occasions. Most of my family doesn’t even care enough to use what makes me comfortable. I really went through it. But, I did find my own group of people and an amazing partner. It’s still not easy I’m met with a lot of hate. But it’s better then it has been. So I will take what I can get.

[@Smnunicorn]

@@TamariPlayThroughs123 I'm sorry your family isn't there for you. I'm glad you found a good group of people who support you! Good friends can become your chosen family, so just remember that they are there for you.

Beauty can appear in many forms. Not everyone understands your beauty, sometimes not even you. Sometimes your beauty is covered under many layers of skin, fear and nonselfexeptance. Get rid of this layers even if other people or you put scars on it. One day your beauty will be seen by everyone and you can spread your wings and fly. It doesn't matter what colors your wings are. Rainbow, blue, pink and white or pink, yellow and blue.
