#Transgender
I’ve shared this video with my mother in the hopes it will help her. I’m 30, so she’s struggling to understand how I “didn’t know” younger.
Finn, thank you so much for doing this. I feel as though we could be brothers. I'm your Canadian brother :)
Thank you Jay. It certainly is common for us older guys to bumble through life without a clue as to why we feel so at odds with ourselves. looking back though the signs are so obvious!
It is so powerful to watch this video in 2017 having seen your recent videos and being able to notice how strong you've been all of this time as a speaker: no "ums", clear message, engaging story and being able to see the mannerisms that are clearly part of your core self: your hand gestures and phrases.
Finn, I'm a trans guy and I've been having a hard time with not knowing 100% lately. This helped so much.
I’m 35 and just recently coming to terms I’m trans and lots of these feeling your sharing is how I also felt as a child.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. It feels good that "I'm not wrong" and that other people have gone through similar feelings about themselves and their gender.
I relate to your story so much. I’ve just recently come to terms with being trans and pursuing medical transition, and it feels really heartening to hear someone else with a strikingly similar childhood story. Love your personality, looking forward to more recent vids 👍🏻
Thank you Finn for this video... I relate to your story as if it were my own minus the alcohol, & drug addictions. My addictions were food and I’m sure other stuff. However the Trans story is exactly how I feel. I am now 61 and finally know what’s been wrong my entire life. I started T 7 weeks ago and have been watching your T videos and bust up laughing because all those things are happening to me. It is so cool that there is someone else that has experienced similar life issues all stemming from not being in the body we were born to be! Thanks
as i am trying to make sense of my life despite many moments of self-doubt, i am so glad to have discovered your channel. i am 28 and had just started exploring my trans identity since last year. there are so many things i can relate to in your story, and it is so hard to find a story like that online. thanks for sharing your voice, and i will def come back here from time to time especially when i am in doubt.
Omg baby Finn was adorable.
I know this video is like 6 years old, but your story is so similar to my own.. I always preferred dressing in my older brothers clothes over the dresses and such my nan picked for me.. as a teenager I stopped eating three meals a day but I never realised it was to get rid of my chest, I came out as lesbian when I was 14 (I hadn't heard of Trans at that point). I self-harmed for many years, until early this year actually. It wasn't until I was almost 20 that I heard of trans.. That's when I started questioning, for a while I was like "Oh, I'm non binary." but it wasn't the case, I came out to everyone in my life as FTM when I was 23 in March of 2018, and got a binder and stuff, but than my dad started making comments about you can't change your birth sex etc.. and I went back in the closet after four years of figuring things out and being completely out for a few months. But now I'm 25, and I've started the process towards becoming male, though I'm not telling my family because I need to do their comments, though I've spent most of my life having moments of wanting to cut my own breasts off.. I still have those thoughts, probably will until I get top surgery.
I know this video is old but my god, our lives are so similar. I'm 37 and am contemplating transition. I've struggled to find people to relate to...so much so that I've been trying to convince myself that I'm not trans. I thought that because I didn't feel 100% male, then I must not be. I also broke down in tears the first time I put on a binder. It was such a clear moment of recognition - I've never felt anything like it. Thank you.
Astounding. This is a video I will show to every person I can, trans* and not. You truly do the world a great service with your brilliant and open way of talking about these things on your Vlog. Thank you.
This is exactly how I am feeling at age 39. This story was mine as well. Thank you so much for this video. This is what I needed to be okay with my journey.
Very good video finn, I can tell you this when we were going out with each other I never thought you were fat, also I knew you were different when we were going out with each other with the way you dressed so I am not surprised you have decided to go trans good on you mate.
I began watching this video the day before yesterday. When you began to describe your past, I thought "Hey, that's actually how it was for me too". A little later I thought "Hey, THAT is ALSO how it was for me... how peculiar, I've never heard anybody describe the same things in the same way as I experienced them!". A little later still I began to feel it was almost kind of unreal, and I thought to myself that "hey, in a moment he'll surely describe something that's nothing like anything I've experienced".
Fabulous story for all! / You jogged a tiny memory: all my life, I was overly attached to my mom & had an on/off relationship w/my dad. But, I loved watching him come home, take his cash, his comb, his lighter, etc. out of his pockets, one by one, & place them on the dresser before going to bed. I told myself, I'm wanna do that when I get older. 50 yrs later, I realize I loved & admired my mom more than anyone in the world, BUT I wanted to be a man like my dad. Thx, my friend, for the memory!
Bless you Chris, I understand the nerves! Discovering I was trans was so bitter sweet, on the one hand I was so excited and relieved to have my answer but on the other hand I was petrified about what it meant and what would happen. Now Im just happy though so dont worry, the fear will settle into a beautiful deep knowing and peace :) Glad you found the vid so helpful , thanks for your comments :)
I completely agree, in just a year my thoughts and feelings have evolved so much and revisiting stuff is very interesting! Thank so much Ethan my dear friend :)
