im a teen trans guy, i've known i've been trans ever since i found out what it meant. socially transitioned around 5 years ago, crazy how my fam keeps saying "it could go away". It always messed with me but this really changed my perspective tysm bro🙏🙏
As a guy struggling a lot with self esteem and impostor syndrome, as well as family, this has been the most helpful video I’ve watched on these issues. Before I learned that my family isn’t supportive I was very proud of my transness and it’s crazy how other people’s influence can break that down Your videos are awesome, thank you for this :))
I'm so happy you feel that way. Everyone deserves a supportive family, I'm sorry that you didn't get that. I hope that you're doing better and are surrounded by supportive people now, you deserve it ❤️
Hey bro, how old are you ? I’m 29 FTM actually currently on HRT. I have bit not so comfortable on my voice and afraid like going to public toilet or speak to anyone cause I’m just 5 month on T , u know is like still have girl face with a deeper voice. People will giving the face like “holy… why this girl has such deep voice” I have no idea how to overcome this 😢
I'm not religious, but if you want to be gay, just BE gay. I feel pity for people who hate themselves so much, that they want to mutilate themselves and transform into the other gender. I think in most cases it comes from sexual trauma as a child or young adult. That being said, I don't believe people should be restricted from attempting to transition. It's a free country so you should be able to do whatever you want, I hope it makes you happy, I just don't think it will.
First of all studies suggest that it's not it being CAUSED by trauma But is actually it existing before hand/seperately but often promoting bullying and others around them to cause trauma in the individual. Also the whole be gay but don't mutilate yourself thing is dumb because being trans isn't related to attraction. It would be like saying "enjoy hotdogs but not fireworks cuz I think they're loud and annoying" (those things aren't related!!!) I mean to be completely Frank ur comment shows a lot of pre built misconceptions that I hope you try to correct. Because correcting them can and often does lead to an LGBTQ+ member avoiding trauma. I really appreciate the vid cuz with how many insecure queer people there are it can be pretty lifesaving to share advice.
@shaigoldsmith605 yea but it doesn't make sense. Why would you want to switch to the other gender if it wasn't to attract your original gender? Vast majority of people are attracted to the opposite sex. If you want to transition, you want to be attractive to your own gender.
@@revolutionaryfrog ... I'm speechless... honestly this is crazy. No the drive to transition isn't to attract the same sex. If anything it drastically lowers the amount of possible partners (from any gender). Cuz people in general are much less likely to be comfortable with being in a relationship with a trans person. It's also dumb cuz you imply that people are Inateley attracted to people who show traits of the opposite sex. Which is just wrong. Like, just as many feminine lesbians are attracted to feminine lesbians as ones attracted to masculine ones (this also goes for masc and for males of course) Also you have the preconceived notion that transitioning is harmful which is wrong. First of all to transition one doesn't necessarily have to have surgeries or take medical action so it's often about as harmful as changing your dressing habits. And surgical procedures are shown to greatly reduce suicide rate in trans people so actually it's very important for a lot of trans people to have these procedures because otherwise they may commit suicide. So I personally think of these surgeries as life saving. You don't get them but let them be what they want freely because otherwise you are potentially and indirectly harming them.
I appreciate that you understand that everyone can make their own decisions. But I do want to say, I think you're very mistaken. I'm not mutilating myself in any way. I am healthy, and my body is not damaged or mutilated. I'm no different than you are. I'm not disturbed, I'm not a mental patient, I don't have some weird disorder. I was simply unhappy and unfulfilled as a woman. I understand why you feel the way that you do given how some people speak about and portray trans people. However, just because you don't experience something, or just because you don't understand, something, doesn't mean that it's not true. It also doesn't mean that you know exactly what a trans person is going through. I'm not secretly sad and unfulfilled. I'm human and I have my struggles, but overall I am very happy and fulfilled. I'm not a political ideology, I'm not part of a group or a trend. I am simply myself.
And to add to that, if people choose to transition because of sexual trauma, or in part because of it, does that make it wrong? Does that mean that they won't be fulfilled? I believe that is a valid reason for someone to transition. We all heal in different ways. I don't think that is the "wrong way" to heal because we all deal with things differently. I think that people can feel better and fulfilled after they transition. I don't think that everyone who has experienced sexual trauma should transition obviously. But I think for some individuals it's life-changing in a good way.

💚 It’s important we live for our own sakes and don’t center the feelings of anti-trans people in our lives
This is so important
Hey keep smiling guys, you all are amazing. ❤
