Your timing with these videos is so perfect with my life right now. Last week I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection that was confirmed yesterday to be the result of an STI. I'm 25 and have never had an STI before but everything you've said regarding the stigmas associated with them have proven to be true so far. I've already been on treatment for several days now but there is still this overwhelming sense of shame that is difficult to shake. The thought of talking about it is almost sickening. Although my case isn't particularly stunning, it is still needless to say that this experience has significantly altered my perception of STIs and of those that have them. Thank you for being so open and honest about your condition. I'll be praying for your swift recovery. :)
I've had liquid nitrogen put on a wart, and that could hurt quite badly, so I can't imagine how it would feel on more sensitive areas. You are strong, Sky.
I think it's really good that you're trying to stay positive through all of this because really, negativity isn't going to do anything good for you! Sending you all my support :)
Ultimately, Sky, you are learning that good people accept everyone regardless of sexual orientation, STI's, race, religion, even political parties! We are all one, we are all the same, we are each other. What I do to another, I do to myself. We all need to be good to ourselves so that we are good to others............thanks, dude..............Ray
I bumped into your videos by random. I am a straight, married , Mexican American living in Ireland and probably might have nothing in common with you, but you are truly inspiring. As a human being, you are teaching us to be brave.You show all of us that life is crazy, messy, shit happens, but that's just the way it is. Thank you. You are helping a lot of us not to feel so alone
Aw dude, I'm really sorry about the STI and I hope that it goes away as quickly as possible. You look so comfortable and happy about this girl though and I'm really happy for you :3
Sky, I have been watching your videos on your life, love, and music for um-teen years. I have fallen in love with your upbeat personality. It was hard to watch someone, whom I consider a friend, though we have never met, go though some hard things like this. Believe it or not, this will get better. Will it be tough? Yes. But you are a veteran of TOUGH. Rather than feel the "why me" when it comes to this, look at the "wow me" aspects. You are still young, so handsome, you have a kick-ass body (yes, take it from a Gay man, you do!). Your personality is amazing. and your music is totally awesome. You have become a beacon of light for not only the Trans community, but for the countless fans who need that little dose of you in their lives. From that cute smirk to your thoughts on life, people love you so much. Please do see this. Yeah, you are going though a bad thing...but look at the support and the wonderful things you have, too. I, along with many of your fans are 200% behind you. I wanted to hug you no less than 5 times during this video. But I know you will come though this with flying colors. If you were into Gay men, I'd beg you for a date in a gay second! :) I, along with countless others, love you so much. Please write if you just need to vent. ~Dave~
On your other video I asked about a cure. You cleared that up with this video. You still have my best wishes for a successful conclusion to this ordeal. Stay strong Skye. The offer of a hug still stands.
It's pretty awesome that you are confident enough to share this. You talk about it in a way that really reduces the stigma around it. Probably the reason they haven't found much in the way of cures is that it's almost impossible to "cure" a virus (HIV, for example- how long has research for that been going on?) but it sucks that there doesn't seem to be much to ease your way. It's comforting to know that healthcare systems are getting more LGBT friendly! I hope you feel better ASAP, man.
skylarkeleven You have such a beautifully positive outlook. You are an inspiration to myself and tons of other trans people. I'm pulling for you, and sending positive energy to you!!! You/Me/We deserve love and respect and neither An STI or being trans should prevent that. You're an amazing soul and you'll come out of this better & stronger! Much love & wishes on a VERY speedy recovery!
your constant positvity no matter what the suitation constantly helps me strive for the same thing you're so inspiriing in the way you tackle life its actually amazing
Wow! That took some guts to talk about especially something that's rarely heard of and doesn't have a cure for. I can only imagine the frustration you must be feeling. You've proven to be a very strong individual in all that you do despite this temporary setback.
After watching both of your videos and you know following you for like 2 years I Just want to give you a hug and tell you everything will be ok. Because it will. You will be fine. You're not damaged. You are still a perfectly awesome human being. Seriously, besides my boyfriend you are the coolest trans person I know. I'm such a big fan, and I'm sorry you feel bad and... and... anything I can say that will bring back your positivity because you have so much to be positive about.
I'm really glad that you decided to put up these STI discussion videos, it's an important topic and you're right that it's not talked about or taught about enough.
It is so important to bring awareness to such a common (yet unaddressed) situation. Thank you for always being so open and vulnerable. You are valued. You are both loved and lovable. The world is so lucky to have you in it. much love xoxo
Your courage to speak up about such a stigmatised issue is truly admirable, sending you positive thoughts and good luck. I really hope it all works out for you xx
I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and you never stop a,aging me with how brave you are. You are a positive light and more importantly a positive voice for some who can't find that in their personal lives. Your sharing is impacting lives.
Thank you for gathering the courage to talk about this- STDs and STIs and infections in general are really not talked about at all and as much as they suck and as traumatizing as they can be, they're not something that should exile anyone from any type of relationship. Good vibes coming your way- stay strong and I hope things work out to the best of their ability.
Aw man, I'm sorry you're in this situation. One of my worst fears is getting an incurable and/or long lasting STI. Just remember that it WILL be ok and it really doesn't make you any less lovable. Stay positive!
Your awesome Skylar keep positive and keep smiling! Your my mentor and you can get through this as long as you keep stepping forward and smiling. Take it each day at a time if you need to.
Thanks Skylar it's a pleasure to be a beam of light when talking to someone as supportive and honest as you. Keep your head up and remember as long as your happy with yourself that is all that matters.
dude, the STI adds points to your lovability. keep advocating and talking about it honestly, you will open up so much positive dialogue you never knew existed. as a trans former hpv+ kid here, i take the chance to talk about it as much as i can. good luck working through the mollusks and learn what you can from the experience!
i went through this exact same situation a few years ago, and had to go back to the doctor every week for more liquid nitrogren. I was so depressed and they just never seemed to be going away. I think i ended up having them for about 3 months but they DID eventually go away (but did leave some small scarring). I was seeing my family doctor about them, who has known me for my entire life, and was really feeling ashamed about it all- it's strangely comforting to watch you talk about it so confidently. thank you.
love you sky! i'm so proud of you for letting this out and not hiding it anymore, i hope you become immune soon and become healthy again. we're always here to listen if you're feeling down about it one day but i'm glad you're trying to keep a positive outlook. have a great rest of your night love. :)
I am kind of in awe right now. Even at a time when you feel vulnerable and upset, you are still putting yourself out there, sharing positivity and perhaps most importantly - raising awareness and lowering stigma about stis. Sending lots of good vibes your way... avoid Dr. Google & Reddit though (personal experience haha)
I'm sorry for this rough time time you're going through, I know it you might thing the world isn't being so nice right now, but you're such a strong person. The fact that you're even staying so positive about it shows the strength you have, skylar. We're all here for you :-)
We all support you 100%, whatever it is we can do to help don't even doubt on asking. I hope this is over soon, and if not, that you can continue to live your normal life and be happy, cause you deserve it xx
STI/STDs are always a downer. I have HSV type 1 and, at first, I was numb. The guy who gave it to me had cheated and spread it in its first outbreak. Two years later with a different failed relationship, I was a mess. If you find the right people, your confidence just boosts. Glad to hear you're being as optimistic as possible, you'll have hard and not so hard and easy days. As long as am open and honest about everything and do constant research, I usually feel fine. My current partner, who I knew for a year before we started dating, knew in the first week of us being in a committed relationship. Crappy things happen... silver linings are everywhere though. I have learned those worth having in your life, take time to understand and stay with you! Keep strong/sexy! You're a hero to many!
I love you so much and I haven't even met you yet. You're so genuine and transparent. I think you're my number one RUclipsr on my watch list. I'm definitely obsessed.
Omg Sky I totally feel you! First of all I'm sorry to hear your'e going through all of this. I really hope you will be cure soon! Please keep us updated. I was diagnosed with cancer recently, and Im like "who will ever date a guy who is trans AND have cancer", and I don't want to believe its true, but thats how I feel. And thats the first time that I hear someone else talking about the situation when you're both trans and ill and how unfair it is to feel damaged because of that. your'e amazing as always. and there's lots of natural ways to help your immune system! like sugar free diet, sport, good sleep, cold showers and lots more.. Big hugs!
can't believe I am actually posting this under a video about STIs.. but damn you are so attractive! stay strong you'll get through this :) and as far as I can tell from you're videos you are a beautiful person inside and out. keep on doing what you're doing. YOU ARE INSPIRING.
Stay positive, Sky. Your body will be able to fight against it, you just gotta give it a little time. Sorry you have to go through that, I know it must be hard, but please always keep in mind that there will always be people that support and love you no matter what
Oh my gosh Skylar, I'm sorry you have to go through this, after all you've worked for. Really hit me in the heart....I admire your positivity, even if you're not completely confident with it yet. Everything will be okay
Some of the strongest people have to fight the hardest battles. You are such a strong, positive, kind, and wonderful person. You were a huge inspiration to me when I first came out as transgender, and I still keep up with your videos through my transition. I know it may feel like you are being defeated right now, but you will get through this. Most importantly, do not let this define you as a person. You are so much more than an STI and the right girl wont care that you have it - she will want to be with you for you (as it sounds this new girl is :) ). Your great personality and your bright smile are what makes you YOU, not this STI. Keep your head up, my friend!
Thank you so much for your continued vulnerability towards the world. It is not our business but it is so wonderful that you are putting yourself out there to build up another community where people feel less lonely with certain aspects in life. I just want to reassure you that you are not, in anyway, found dirty or less than any other being. As well as, no matter how long this may take to leave your body, we all love you, family, friends and that special girl you told us about will stay by your side through it all. I bet its hard to stay positive through this, but you don't have to go through it alone and in shame. Love you.
skylarkeleven Sending hugs and positive vibes your way! Thank you for making this more visible, conversation like these need to talked about more. Love you Skylar
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to undergo those treatments or wait for the molloscum to run its course. My daughter had them a few years ago and using apple cider vinegar they were gone within a week, after having them for over a year. I don't know if this is something that you will be willing to try but I just thought I'd share. You can learn more about it in this article I found or feel free to ask me any questions you may have. ohmuddypuddles.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-hits-and-misses-treating-molluscum.html?m=1
My heart goes out to you, and you are by no means less loveable for being trans or having an STI! Please keep in mind that your company is a gift and anyone who doesn't feel that way for whatever reason doesn't deserve it. Stay well!
You are absolutely wonderful! Keep your head up sky you've overcome tons of big obstacles and you can handle this! I admire your honesty and openness with your viewers. It'll be ok man, wishing all of the best for you :)
I always love your attitude about life Skylar, and I really really hope that you recover soon! Thanks so much for your videos and having the courage to talk about this. It really matters and makes a difference. Thank you!!!
I am so sorry for this Sky. Being a Transguy myself, I really can see how you may feel. I felt so heartbroken to learn this, because I knew how you were feeling about yourself physically, and how crushed your confidence may have become upon this happening. But, you'll get through it, and it'll legitimately be another thing to make you stronger, I really hope it doesn't last any longer the 2 months, I am hoping so hard for you. You've helped me so much in the past, whether it have been through watching your videos, or just privately messaging. You were a big part in me figuring out who I am today. And I am so appreciative and grateful to you. You are strong, Sky. I have faith in you. I am putting forth all my positive vibes (praying) I possibly can to you. Keep us all updated, I would love to know if you are progressing, to make sure you are okay. Amazing how community can bring people together and they actually care for one another. I love this community. I wish you the best, Sky.
Thanks for talking about this. It's very brave of you to share, and it's so important in the trans community to talk about our healthcare, especially when it comes to things that are completely unrelated to being trans.
At first I was totally shocked that Skylar Kergil was talking about S-E-X because I've always known that subject was TABOO and never addressed even indirectly in your videos. BUT, after watching the other video and this video, I suddenly realized that this was Skylar Kergil we were dealing with and your willingness to discuss this subject was in total keeping with your supreme sense of COMMUNITY. So cudos to you a hundred times over for publicizing your status. I feel bad about the STI but I'm heartened by your attitude towards it I'm further heartened by your admission that you do have a sex life, newly developed as it might be. You'll get over this and in the meantime I think you'll be surprised at the attitude of others toward the total person we know and love as Skylar Kergil, STI or not.
I've learned over the years to keep my perspective. A person is "young" for a very long time, like 40 years, truly. After that, you start slowly moving into middle age, but even then you are still young and healthy. At 50, you might start slowing down a tad, but actually if you've stayed active, you're still feeling young all through your 50's. The 60's? I'm not there yet, but people I know are so active and happy and healthy, in relationships, and everything. 70's? same thing. 80's: same thing. 90's: same thing is possible. My point is you shouldn't feel sad or depressed. You have your youth, your health, your vision, your good looks, the use of your arms and legs, and tons of support. What the hell - take a vacation, go explore the world, go walk around and see what's out there. You have been given a life, and your STI is a teeny tiny blip! Meh!
Seriously appreciate your honesty. You'll be fine, and honestly we've all (most) have had something, stuff that's also incurable. If it's not life threatening you'll develop the knows of how to deal with it. I had the same reaction, and here I am so many years later, and it's all ok now. I've learned I'm ok and I know how to take care of myself. To be honest it's a blessing. It forces me to be healthier than I would probably. So silver linings. Big hug. You're awesome. Liquid nitro super sucks agreed.
I love you, Sky. I really do. You're important to me because you've inspired me so much. Thus, I care about you and I want you to get well soon. I cannot do much more, but I hope this token of my support helps you a little. Stay strong, Sky.
I already had a boyfriend with STI, he told me in the beginning of our relationship his situation, so we take the necessary care. We dated for three years and his illness never infected me. Unknown things can scare us, dear. Don't give up on treatment, it may seem that is taking forever, but with care it will get better.
You are so awesome and inspiring!! Please try not to let the negative get to you. As the mother of a trans guy you have educated me so much. Stay strong sweetie!!
Big Hugs to you Skylar. I hope you're feeling better soon.. keep your chin up (as we say in the UK) You are a real inspiration to many around the world. :)
I hope you know that youre my absolute favorite person on this planet. And you are the reason that I came out as transgender 4 years ago. I love you man. I hope everything's okay.
STi is my car so I honestly thought you meant you got an STi... So I was thinking- ok, great.. I'm an ftm trans too with an STi???...... But wow. I wish you the best of luck in this journey, now I have another reason to check up on you time to time throughout your very first t shot video. :) and thanks for educating me otherwise I'd be thinking you're talking about my car and be confused HAHA
I totally had these bumps when I was a lot younger and had no idea. My doctor just said it was bacteria. It took a few years to clear up but I never knew it was contagious or anything. Thanks for being so brave and open.
your life is not over, don't even say that! you have to be positive with this kind of things.. i know it hurts, but things get better and you should be very happy that this is going to "cure by itself"
Hey Skylar, I just wanna say you should never feel like just because you have an STI or even being transgender that it means that people will automatically stop loving you. We still love you and we always will no matter what. I love you and you're so adorable. I love watching you and your videos. Good luck getting cured and remember what I said! ☺️😍😘💕
I just subscribed to your channel,.. Although I don't currently have an STI,.. - I don't think I'd recognized you as anyone with a similar point of view of society as I myself have,.. Sometimes it's a crap-shoot to open-up about things,.. - But just like anything,.. "You'll never find it,.. unless you try to." :) - (Don't sweat the negatives,.. - always remember there are a few of us out here who do share your same values & we are watching & willing to help in any way as well.) Your integrity,.. responsibility & concern are a lot more than most natural men have,.. I'd say your values resemble something of a John Wayne perspective & although glorified - It simply speaks the truth. - Best of Luck. :)

Hey man, thanks for sharing this. You are awesome and brave. I'm sorry you are having to go through all of this!
I've had liquid nitrogen put on a wart, and that could hurt quite badly, so I can't imagine how it would feel on more sensitive areas. You are strong, Sky.
I think it's really good that you're trying to stay positive through all of this because really, negativity isn't going to do anything good for you! Sending you all my support :)

very sorry to hear about the infection, but I appreciate the openness. get well fast, man!
I know I'm not alone in saying that this isn't a knock on how loveable you are x
Aw dude, I'm really sorry about the STI and I hope that it goes away as quickly as possible. You look so comfortable and happy about this girl though and I'm really happy for you :3

You've proven to be a very strong individual in all that you do despite this temporary setback.
I hope you get cured. I don't know much about it, but I really hope it clears and you get cured. You'll make it through it!
I kept getting distracted by your beautiful smile. It'll get better. I believe in you and i know this will only make you stronger. :) Stay positive.

Very brave to make this video and thank - very informative. Never heard of this STI. Hope it clears up for you quickly bro.

Please don't equate being able to have sex with being lovable - being lovable is about who you are, not what you can do. You are a very lovable guy!

You're so amazing. I've been binge watching your videos for the past couple days, and you're so inspiring! Also your smile is so freakin adorable!!!!!
You're amazing Sky
i love how you made your doctor visit more cheerful than sad :P get better!
stay strong skylar, you're so brave and positive. i love you & support you
STI/STDs are always a downer. I have HSV type 1 and, at first, I was numb. The guy who gave it to me had cheated and spread it in its first outbreak. Two years later with a different failed relationship, I was a mess. If you find the right people, your confidence just boosts. Glad to hear you're being as optimistic as possible, you'll have hard and not so hard and easy days.
As long as am open and honest about everything and do constant research, I usually feel fine. My current partner, who I knew for a year before we started dating, knew in the first week of us being in a committed relationship. Crappy things happen... silver linings are everywhere though. I have learned those worth having in your life, take time to understand and stay with you!

I love you so much and I haven't even met you yet. You're so genuine and transparent. I think you're my number one RUclipsr on my watch list. I'm definitely obsessed.
Omg Sky I totally feel you!
First of all I'm sorry to hear your'e going through all of this. I really hope you will be cure soon! Please keep us updated.
I was diagnosed with cancer recently, and Im like "who will ever date a guy who is trans AND have cancer", and I don't want to believe its true, but thats how I feel.

All the love and support Skylar!!! I hope everything gets better super super soon, and with that awesome attitude of yours, it definitely will
This video is so important. So brave of you to talk abt such a personal subject, Sky.
Stay positive, Sky. Your body will be able to fight against it, you just gotta give it a little time. Sorry you have to go through that, I know it must be hard, but please always keep in mind that there will always be people that support and love you no matter what
Oh my gosh Skylar, I'm sorry you have to go through this, after all you've worked for. Really hit me in the heart....I admire your positivity, even if you're not completely confident with it yet. Everything will be okay
Sending you positive healthy immune system vibes and lots of hugs. You will beat this.
Some of the strongest people have to fight the hardest battles. You are such a strong, positive, kind, and wonderful person. You were a huge inspiration to me when I first came out as transgender, and I still keep up with your videos through my transition. I know it may feel like you are being defeated right now, but you will get through this. Most importantly, do not let this define you as a person. You are so much more than an STI and the right girl wont care that you have it - she will want to be with you for you (as it sounds this new girl is :) ). Your great personality and your bright smile are what makes you YOU, not this STI. Keep your head up, my friend!
Thank you so much for your continued vulnerability towards the world. It is not our business but it is so wonderful that you are putting yourself out there to build up another community where people feel less lonely with certain aspects in life. I just want to reassure you that you are not, in anyway, found dirty or less than any other being. As well as, no matter how long this may take to leave your body, we all love you, family, friends and that special girl you told us about will stay by your side through it all. I bet its hard to stay positive through this, but you don't have to go through it alone and in shame. Love you.
Thank you all for your support so far, it means so much to me
skylarkeleven Sending hugs and positive vibes your way! Thank you for making this more visible, conversation like these need to talked about more. Love you Skylar
skylarkeleven stay strong. it's going to be ok skylar
skylarkeleven I'm so sorry, I wish you to get better quickly. There is no shame; on the contrary, you will probably help people talking about this :)
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to undergo those treatments or wait for the molloscum to run its course. My daughter had them a few years ago and using apple cider vinegar they were gone within a week, after having them for over a year. I don't know if this is something that you will be willing to try but I just thought I'd share. You can learn more about it in this article I found or feel free to ask me any questions you may have. ohmuddypuddles.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-hits-and-misses-treating-molluscum.html?m=1
what kind of mods you gonna do on your STi?
My heart goes out to you, and you are by no means less loveable for being trans or having an STI! Please keep in mind that your company is a gift and anyone who doesn't feel that way for whatever reason doesn't deserve it. Stay well!
All the best to you and hopes for a good recovery. Great to see you still want the best in and out of life. You're still an inspiration:)
keep advocating through your story - so important!
You are absolutely wonderful! Keep your head up sky you've overcome tons of big obstacles and you can handle this! I admire your honesty and openness with your viewers. It'll be ok man, wishing all of the best for you :)
Head up Sky. You're a strong individual and your optimism encourages me to be optimistic.
I always love your attitude about life Skylar, and I really really hope that you recover soon! Thanks so much for your videos and having the courage to talk about this. It really matters and makes a difference. Thank you!!!
I am so sorry for this Sky. Being a Transguy myself, I really can see how you may feel. I felt so heartbroken to learn this, because I knew how you were feeling about yourself physically, and how crushed your confidence may have become upon this happening. But, you'll get through it, and it'll legitimately be another thing to make you stronger, I really hope it doesn't last any longer the 2 months, I am hoping so hard for you. You've helped me so much in the past, whether it have been through watching your videos, or just privately messaging. You were a big part in me figuring out who I am today. And I am so appreciative and grateful to you.
You are strong, Sky. I have faith in you. I am putting forth all my positive vibes (praying) I possibly can to you. Keep us all updated, I would love to know if you are progressing, to make sure you are okay. Amazing how community can bring people together and they actually care for one another. I love this community.
I wish you the best, Sky.
Thanks for talking about this. It's very brave of you to share, and it's so important in the trans community to talk about our healthcare, especially when it comes to things that are completely unrelated to being trans.
That really sucks Sky :( Wishing you a speedy recovery!
At first I was totally shocked that Skylar Kergil was talking about S-E-X because I've always known that subject was TABOO and never addressed even indirectly in your videos.
BUT, after watching the other video and this video, I suddenly realized that this was Skylar Kergil we were dealing with and your willingness to discuss this subject was in total keeping with your supreme sense of COMMUNITY. So cudos to you a hundred times over for publicizing your status. I feel bad about the STI but I'm heartened by your attitude towards it I'm further heartened by your admission that you do have a sex life, newly developed as it might be. You'll get over this and in the meantime I think you'll be surprised at the attitude of others toward the total person we know and love as Skylar Kergil, STI or not.
you know we will always support you sky, you're our family
I've learned over the years to keep my perspective. A person is "young" for a very long time, like 40 years, truly. After that, you start slowly moving into middle age, but even then you are still young and healthy. At 50, you might start slowing down a tad, but actually if you've stayed active, you're still feeling young all through your 50's. The 60's? I'm not there yet, but people I know are so active and happy and healthy, in relationships, and everything. 70's? same thing. 80's: same thing. 90's: same thing is possible. My point is you shouldn't feel sad or depressed. You have your youth, your health, your vision, your good looks, the use of your arms and legs, and tons of support. What the hell - take a vacation, go explore the world, go walk around and see what's out there. You have been given a life, and your STI is a teeny tiny blip! Meh!
You are amazing, Im sure you will heal soon and this will only be a bump of the road. Keep your head up Skylar. :)
Sending you support! Hopefully it goes away faster than you think. Good luck and keep pushing through, Sky!
So glad that I found your videos, your strength and your open behaviour is really incredible! Best wishes x
I am so proud of you for sharing this with us. You are a brave and wonderful man.
Stay strong.
Thank you so much for your vulnerability, Skylar. You rock, friend!
Seriously appreciate your honesty. You'll be fine, and honestly we've all (most) have had something, stuff that's also incurable. If it's not life threatening you'll develop the knows of how to deal with it. I had the same reaction, and here I am so many years later, and it's all ok now. I've learned I'm ok and I know how to take care of myself. To be honest it's a blessing. It forces me to be healthier than I would probably. So silver linings. Big hug. You're awesome. Liquid nitro super sucks agreed.
No Sky you are SO lovable! You can get through this. Here's hoping for a short recovery.
I love you, Sky. I really do. You're important to me because you've inspired me so much. Thus, I care about you and I want you to get well soon. I cannot do much more, but I hope this token of my support helps you a little. Stay strong, Sky.
Thank you for sharing Sky! Sending good vibes your way!
Sky, I wish I had just a smidgen of your bravery and wisdom. You're amazing, keep your head up! 💋
I already had a boyfriend with STI, he told me in the beginning of our relationship his situation, so we take the necessary care. We dated for three years and his illness never infected me.
Unknown things can scare us, dear. Don't give up on treatment, it may seem that is taking forever, but with care it will get better.
Sending love and positive vibes your way
This is so important!! Thank you for posting this.
Keep your head up- as you said, positivity, it's all going I be okay!
You are so awesome and inspiring!! Please try not to let the negative get to you. As the mother of a trans guy you have educated me so much. Stay strong sweetie!!
Big Hugs to you Skylar. I hope you're feeling better soon.. keep your chin up (as we say in the UK) You are a real inspiration to many around the world. :)
youre an amazing human being. and btw, your beard is on point. i hope things clear up for you soon!
Pray that yours will heal sooner than later. Wishing all the best for you. :)
Hope all goes well for you sky. I can't even imagine what that's like but I hope only the best for you.
You know you're such a strong person, it'll be ok (even though it sucks now) I kove you Skylar!
Love you Sky, go hope you get to feeling better. Sending positive vibes your way! :)
I'm glad that you're trying to be positive about the situation!
You are an amazing person and so strong! I am proud of you and I am inspired by you. Thank you! Keep it up!
you are so incredibly positive and amazing
I hope you know that youre my absolute favorite person on this planet. And you are the reason that I came out as transgender 4 years ago. I love you man. I hope everything's okay.
STi is my car so I honestly thought you meant you got an STi... So I was thinking- ok, great.. I'm an ftm trans too with an STi???...... But wow. I wish you the best of luck in this journey, now I have another reason to check up on you time to time throughout your very first t shot video. :) and thanks for educating me otherwise I'd be thinking you're talking about my car and be confused HAHA
I totally had these bumps when I was a lot younger and had no idea. My doctor just said it was bacteria. It took a few years to clear up but I never knew it was contagious or anything. Thanks for being so brave and open.
Stay strong, your body is good remember that. Were all here for you , vent baby vent ❤️
You're awesome! Thanks for your strength!
You ARE a lovable, FANTASTIC human being!!
your life is not over, don't even say that! you have to be positive with this kind of things.. i know it hurts, but things get better and you should be very happy that this is going to "cure by itself"
Hey Skylar, I just wanna say you should never feel like just because you have an STI or even being transgender that it means that people will automatically stop loving you. We still love you and we always will no matter what. I love you and you're so adorable. I love watching you and your videos. Good luck getting cured and remember what I said! ☺️😍😘💕
Awe sky it will get better I am so sorry but your attitude is amazing at least your trying to be happy
Good vibes man. Keep your head up.
I just subscribed to your channel,.. Although I don't currently have an STI,.. - I don't think I'd recognized you as anyone with a similar point of view of society as I myself have,.. Sometimes it's a crap-shoot to open-up about things,.. - But just like anything,.. "You'll never find it,.. unless you try to." :) - (Don't sweat the negatives,.. - always remember there are a few of us out here who do share your same values & we are watching & willing to help in any way as well.)
Your integrity,.. responsibility & concern are a lot more than most natural men have,.. I'd say your values resemble something of a John Wayne perspective & although glorified - It simply speaks the truth. - Best of Luck. :)
