    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.

      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 💕

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
