I think I've read Ryland's story before, he was born deaf and not only that, he had the courage to come out as trans. I love that story.
Great kid. Great dad. Great song too. My favorite part of the video is when Jeff holds up the card that says: "Your child will shoot you in your sleep when he is older," and then Ryland quickly shook his head, as if to say, "No, I won't." That made me laugh.
They chemically castrated their daughter
Wow what a great Dad! You have a very handsome son there. I don't see any negligence here. I see love and compassion. Too bad there are not more parents like u Jeff!
you can't see the negligence here this is just a 3 minutes video I'd like to ear from people who actually know them
He looks so much like his dad!
She looks like her dad.

@@pontelaspiIas no it's a she you idiot, ryland was born a girl and still has female anatomy so in that case, she's still a she... I can have my own opinion about things ok even though I'm right about this so have a great day
Ryland, your story was such an eye-opener. I had no idea what it must be like, to be dressed up as a female and yet feel like a guy inside. That was so interesting! To think that a kid has such feelings so early on was a real revelation to me. I am glad you were so vocal! Power to you, buddy! Power to your whole family, for that matter. The next time I meet a person who scoffs at a family whose child might be transgender, I’ll send them to your videos. If I can figure out a way to fit the information into my RUclips channel, I’ll help publicize the book.
Every transgender kid out there would be very lucky to have a dad like you, sir.
Absolutely, if he really has had no surgery or medications and is just identifying as a man that is very sensible and hard to criticize! Doing it that way, he can experience being a man but if he has a change of heart as he matures there is no problem. Nothing irreversible has been done.
The HATERS might be the loudest, but THEY ARE NOT THE MAJORITY ❣️Thanks for sharing your journey ❣️Ryland, keep being your TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF❣️Better to live Honestly than to LIE AND PRETEND to be someone you’ve not.❣️When I was young, I saw friends kill themselves over this very issue. Educating ALL about this will save lives.
I’m so proud of your family. You are truly blessed
people criticized them for changing gods way?
whats all that shit about. basically other people wanted him to be deaf. some people are really religious but they went too far to criticize them.have a good life ryland and Jeff!
God, doesn't he look just like his dad?! I don't think they should care what anyone else says, Ryland is happy, healthy and alive - that's all that matters. The suicide rate in the trans community is sky high because of lack of acceptance and it's even higher when they're not able to transition. I'm sure they'd rather have a living son than a dead daughter. I applaud their strength!
I know! He looks exactly like him!
Is your son happy? If yes than you are doing your parenting job right😘💕💜
Who I Am I don't believe these parents are doing wrong, I want to make that clear. I also want to make it clear that "good parenting" isn't based on a child's happiness. Many child are unhappy when denied ice cream for dinner or to play with a loaded firearm... yet we say, good job parents! So always make sure you speak clearly on these topics. These parents aren't good because their boy is happy. They are good parents for listening, seeking help, following guidance, and so on. It's those choices which have led to happiness.
Yeah, but transgender people kill themselves at a rate of 41 percent, regardless of wether they are in an accepting or non accepting environment. And all of these parents seem waaaay too happy that theri kids are doing this.
well he a happy boy now !
They castrated their daughter. That's good parenting?
Children are happy when they can live off chicken nuggets and sweets and stay up all night watching R-rated movies. That doesn’t mean it’s right.
people are so quick to judge. your son looks exactly like you, so cute. I respect all the parents that figth for the happiness of their kids. god loves you all. he favoures nobody and loves everybody equal.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, THANKS FOR SHARING THESE STORIES THAT EMPOWERS US.
I second this O u O As a toddler, when coming back from kindergarten, I'd start screaming and throw myself on the floor and kick anyone trying to approach me. It lasted for months, until my mother stopped trying to comfort me, noting I'd then get calmer sooner. I very soon started to say repeatedly and insistingly that I was a boy, made a tantrum if I was required to wear a dress, and was overall extremely vocal about my gender. My parents let me be a tomboy, but never imagined there could be more to it. I felt so misfit, though. I was very mature for my age, but not as apt for socialization. I hoped my parents would have me tested for something, but it never happened. At seven, I wanted to be dead because I felt so incapable of ever becoming a normal person and contribute to society, but I was too afraid of pain to actually dare take my life. I was plagued with nightmares in which I'd try to explore a secret of myself that would then doom the world to destruction, but also had the most blissful dream in which my parents took me to the hospital to make me into a boy - I felt so whole and proud, only to be very sad upon waking up.
Puberty was so hard, because my body changed in way I didn't want. I tried hard to be a girl, I failed at it so hard. I was bullied a lot; middleschool was 4 years of hell and nightmares every single night. Many related to gender. I also became extremely sexist and aggressive toward boys and men. I couldn't see my favorite uncle without compulsively starting to beat him without any reason at all. I guess I wanted to destroy what I couldn't be. My father got cancer during my last year of middleschool and died the day I entered highschool (he hold on until that day, he truly cared). I forgot all I knew about Spanish and couldn't recover it so much.
At 17 I finally got information about transgender people by complete chance, talking to someone on the Internet. I instantly knew that was who I was and soon came out. My friends mostly had angry, distrustful reactions. My mother was parted between trusting me and her fear I might be doing the worst error of my life. Anyway, I pursued transition on my own at 18. It didn't go so well because I was so dysphoric I could have sold my soul, and in a way, I did. Pressured by doctors, I followed the path set for us by laws that still exist in France despite infringing human rights. Having to lie to psychiatrists who pretended to be experts but confused gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender roles, etc. Taking hormones without being told exactly what they would do. Getting top surgery and sterilized at the same time, without being told what sterilization would exactly do aside from making me incapable of ever procreating. They took that from me. I only wanted my name on my ID, I knew I'd want children, but I was in so much pain and never did a single doctor ask me if I wanted kids, or what I wanted for my body. Never.
Today I've flipped the tables and stopped testosterone to return to estrogen, so to stay androgynous, because in-between is where I feel good. I'm not a woman, I'm not a man, I don't care too much to label me either. I am myself. I feel better but I am bitter about having to take hormones my body could be produce. I finally got tested and turned out my childhood feeling of being misfit was right: I'm alexithymic (can't identify emotions acutely, even my own!), and I have heterogeneous IQ with a very high score. I'm also a Little, adult but still very childish, and there's nothing wrong about me! I'm a misfit, I'm not capable of having a normal job nor being a "normal" person, but whatever. I make comics, I make people happy, and that's my way to contribute to this world ♥
+Izz “noxfox” Arts This is so brave, thank you for sharing❤. You're beautiful being yourself. I'd like to see your comic art.
Aw, thank you so much! ♥ If you want to check them, you can read them (for free) on this nice platform:

Singmire Haze is a story transposing problems of our world in a sci-fantasy setting, with corporate elves, a jobless engineer, a changeling who lost his ability to shift shape, and cute mushrooms. It has a society in which nobody cares what's your gender, or sexual/romantic orientation, because I wanted to show that the only thing that changes is that it only makes less struggles and happier people. It's also very cute. Readers asked me to put a warning for the cuteness overload xD
3pm in the Morning is a slice of life series --I started it with casual things to test the style and lure people, then got onto deeper topics, like gender, mourning, Littleness... so now it's a bit more awareness-rising and sometimes a bit of venting too.
Consuming Darkness is a fantasy romance involving a priest who turned blind upon receiving a dramatic vision of the future brought forth by a temple newcomer, and tries to change the course of fate by becoming the novice's mentor. It will have a bdsm twist to it, with actual bdsm --kindness, respect, safety, tenderness... My co-author and I actually documented ourselves on the topic. It's a bit sad that this series that contains healthy material and won't be glorifying abusive relationships has to bear with the prejudice going with the bdsm label, while a lot of unlabeled bad bdsm stories and unhealthy romance go rampant, but well. At least we try to be as mindful as we can, and to put on educative side-notes =)
+Izz “noxfox” Arts No problem;) Sounds good, sure I'll read them😊
I hope you'll enjoy^^
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your courage to embrace your son for who he is! Ryland, you rock!
Why the cards?? Cringe
Child abuse so mommy could write a book.
You are one brave family and you are to be commended for the love, understanding and support you have shown Ryland! You are amazing parents!
I doubt many people criticised the family for the implants. One or two maybe. The tone is such a focus on victimhood. Like 1000s of kids they show a preference and go through phases. To let a young child make irreversible body changes is just irresponsible. They should read the statistics of kids now adults who regret a decision they made when they were 4.
Yes exactly look up Kera Bell and Chloe Cole who now live with broken bodies. I know it’s only a couple but I’m sure there’s more. Once you start transitioning if you change your mind it’s too late.
This is the most beautiful thing.❤
i agree 100%
I agree
Dawsyn Marsh couldn't agree more
Dawsyn Marsh So True...
Dawsyn Marsh you ride
bless that family
Way to go, guys! It’s so great to see people who care enough about each other to accept all of them (and not just the easy parts).
You are so handsome Ryland! You’re absolutely courageously young man. Show the world what you can do that cannot. God bless!
This is very inspirational. I am homophobic, but this and Corey's story has changed my opinion.
Also, quick rant.
HIGH DIVE HEART WHY AREN'T YOU FAMOUS YET?!
Blackhat JM Gaming :) I happy this changed your opinion, I wish there was more people like you.
I’m so glad your opinion was changed. I’m happy to hear a story like this one. I hope you continue on the wonderful path of knowledge. I too once objected the lgbt+ community. I found out I fall on the lgbt+ spectrum, so I educated myself on my sexuality, the sexuality of others, and gender expression. Seeing the stories of others as well as learning helped to change my mind. I’m glad you too have changed. Have a wonderful day!
Homosexuality and Transgender are two totally different things.
Good on you for sharing your story, and to hell with those who can't accept you for who you are.
it is great to see such supporting parents, it must have made a huge different into your kid´s life
Sick
I really don't care if Ryland is a Tomboy or if he is Transgender because we all are human. I accept everyone for who they are. For most of it I think he's Transgender but the people who think he is a Tomboy can think that because that's their opinion. :) Ryland is obviously happier so Let it be! #iamamisfit
RYLAND I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! I RELATE TO YOU SO MUCH! DONT LET ANYONE CHANGE WHO YOU ARE YOUR AMAZING! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS SO BRAVE! KEEP UP THE COURAGE!
So strong and powerful xx
I hope to be as great of a dad as this young boys.
Awesome. I wish I have his parents.
People should just stop hating what is different from them.
thank you for sharing your families story, I wish I had been so lucky to have amazing parents like you. Keep up the good fight, I hope our paths cross some day.
you are a good dad and your son has a cute smile
What's that weird liquid coming from my eyes ???
But I dont understand, he is to young for knowing wat he want? Maybe later he think he did a bad decision?
laartje ya he’s too young. My kid will be told they can do this when they are an adult but not until then.
Iiiiiis, every conservative's judgement ever.
so sweet!!!!

They made the perfect and right choice to listen and support
Little Ryland the entire time, you are the best, buddy, keep doing you!
What a great dad!
Super parents
Love and more love from Argentina. South America.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is SO beautiful. I cried.
Gorgeous!!!
Congratulations to you, parents for loving your son so much, his smile is really worth fighting for ♥ And to the idiots who think you're getting in God's way, who even are they to know better what God wanted for your son? I don't believe in God, but I believe we're diverse for a reason, and we should embrace it. Spirituality should embrace it. Any religious person who encourages hatred and discrimination isn't spiritual, only insecure about themselves and their lives.
You clearly know way better than them, kudos to you! ;)
Jeff & Ryland - "That's the thing I like about you", you're both misfits, like me.
These people should NOT be put in jail they should be commended for making such a hard choice!
They chemically castrated her.
.....💞💞💞
I cried..♡
Dad is so handsome. Son looks so much like dad.
God bless you all!! God is always with you. Don't listen to the haters because they are not of God but they belong to the devil.
We love an support you!!!
This makes sense. Good/God for him.
Why didn't they just speak...
Beautiful. I just read "Raising Ryland" and came right to the internet to look up his video. I know how scary sharing your family's story publicly has been. Your courage is inspiring and so needed. Peace and love to Ryland, Brynley, Hillary, Jeff and the entire family.
this is awful, first it was okay, now i wanna scream every time i hear it.
This is AMAZING!!
The way he shakes his head when you hold the "shoot you in your sleep" card 😂😂
Also, I don't want to be a Debbie downer but as a just incase, kids learn sign language way faster and easier than grown ups, if you haven't already, maybe learning it as a family while he's still young is something to consider. 🤞🏼 you don't ever need it. ❤❤
That was amazing
They have a great mindset
Don’t agree with it at all. Children do not have the brain capacity to make such a life altering decision. Sounds like he just needed some firmer parenting.
I support you and your family and agree with your choice go ryland
Be strong 💪 and true to your self you will be just fine!
"Do as thou wilt, is the whole of the law."
For people who say sucide rates are high in the trans community. In general sucidal rates are skyrocketing in society atm. Is it social media how to we know? He has a right to parent his child as well.
GOOD job Jeff ! You can be Pride !
So sad
it is September 11th and this is the saddest day of my life I watch the memories all these wonderful people that lost of life I know heaviness below angels I am so sorry to all the families that are going through this hard time it was a sad day my heart goes out to the families Donald Trump thank you for speaking today and your wonderful president and you're doing a fantastic job so far I don't care what anybody says I am my own person just because I'm 16 years old I can't believe that they happened I God bless all the families that lost a loved one I'm sorry that this happened because of that sick bastard but talk so many people away from their family and never happen again because Donald Trump's in charge Donald Trump's going to protect America because he loves us all he loves his country and he is going to stand by and make sure that nobody ever does anything like this again I know a lot of people hate Donald Trump but I think they hate their self can we finally got somebody that's going to do something about this he's a good president you don't like his ways don't listen to him but I think he's doing wonderful he spoke today about 9/11 I watch them on TV and he was an inspiration before that thank you Donald Trump God bless you and your family and God bless those who lost a loved one horrible day

#IamaMisfit
Child abuse.
Love this video and seriously, fuck off to all the haters..
The song came when I four people would bully me on roblox cuz I didn't look like them five years later I'm richer
This kid has stolen all of my love and appreciation
Thank god he got them as his parents
Yet another video of someone just holding up cards.
Sorry I find these just too dull to put on my video playlists. A shame because it's a good song.
Close the door when you get out
no I will simply make my usual video playlist without High Dive Heart in it, which means the various people who watch my video playlists won't get to see this song. I think they got onto one of my playlists last year but will still remain in the shadow of Oh, Honey.
I did, originally. But that was just someone else holding up cards.
And why are you called HighKickGirl2? Who is HighKickGirl1?
I found the proper video which only came out on 18th July, before I made this comment, and 6 weeks after the song's release. And your avatar looks like Rina Takeda from the High Kick Girl movie.
Everyone is equal, regardless. Well done Jeff, Well done Ryland
Please tell ryland for me that he is not alone! I'm also trans
And that's awesome! 👏
As Corey quoted "Remember, You are Valued. You are worth so much. And you are loved."
shame!!! Let not America call itself a christian nation, rather a godless nation, when you turn your back on God's precepts and make it to suit a humanistic view of how man lives and thus fight against God's pronouncements and views of what is allowable or not. Shame on the parents, especially of this father who should have taught his own son what it means to be a young boy to ready in adulthood. He supports his kid not to help him live the wrong way. This type will bring curse to America.
FemaleObserver Fuck you
shame on you!!
Point that finger back at yourself. Remember, you book of fairytales teaches not to judge others unless you want to be judge with the same hate and intolerance.
clearly your lack of understanding of God's precepts make you look very ignorant.
FemaleObserver if he’s taking hormones and Lupron (he probably is at this point) then yes his parents should be charged.
