yeah this really resonates. i haven't always "known i am trans" but i've always known something is wrong with me. i think i figured it out around the time i was 13 but i ran from it like you. i tried being bi, lesbian, and then nonbinary from 15-22. around 23 i finally accepted myself as a man and that was a little over a year ago now. i've never been happier. transitioning did not cure every issue i've ever had of course but i would not be here if i had not accepted myself. i'm almost done with my degree and life actually feels worthwhile and like something i can manage now. thank you for sharing your experience, i hope it helps other young trans folks understand and accept themselves more.
This video has been so helpful, I relate with the things u said so much. For once in my life everything is clear. I can’t even admit to myself that this is who I am, because everything will change. I’m not ready to lose my family. I came out as a masculine lesbian thinking that, that was the reason why I felt so empty inside. And I didn’t feel so empty for a while. But after some time , it still felt like a piece of me was missing.I had figured out who I liked but not who I am. Thanks a lot Conner for saying the things I myself could not admit.
i’m from virginia and everyone’s super transphobic which makes me even more weary of who is am, im in eighth grade and it can’t be harder, i look exactly like a boy going into the locker rooms are so uncomfortable because everyone always staring thinking i’m a boy you helped me so much with this video, i’ve been talking to my therapist about who i am and it’s going well thank you so much
I have had a lot of the same feelings you experienced. I was always the guy in my dreams and daydreams about my future, I never had any natural interest in makeup, I always felt like I was performing when I dressed in a more feminine way, I always felt that the label "lesbian" wasn't accurate, I would always choose to be a male character in video games, I was envious of my guy friends, I can naturally grow facial hair because of PCOS and remember being ashamed of it but enjoying it, so many more reasons!
I always liked girly things and other things like that and all of a sudden dysphoria appeared but it’s super minor and sometimes it’s bad?? UGHHHHH a help this is confusing BAHAHA
From your comment I can clearly see that you have no education on where gender identity is formed or how it is formed. I also can see that you have no education on dysphoria in general and only “discomfort” which is not equivalent lol. ❤
I don't know why, but this reply would not show up under your last reply, so I entered it here. I am simply stating the objective truth. Gender is nothing more than verbiage that objectively acknowledges biological sex. Your subjective ideology about gender does not objectively change anything, which is my point. Your personal convictions either affirm or deny reality, but they do not change the reality of your gender, because gender is predicated upon biological sex, an objective fact, regardless of your subjective opinions about this fact. Transgender denialism and pretense is disingenuous to reality, which is unhealthy on every level, mentally, physically, and spiritually, as are all forms of dishonesty.
@@connernicholas5475 It should be just as concerning to you, that the dishonesty of a minority has been legally foisted upon society through subterfuge, by applying fake definitions to words and medical professionals using emotional blackmail to give the illusion of credence to the transgender narrative, just so the elite can profit on the backs of the gullible who need legitimate help, but you are, understandably, though mistakenly, too enamored with the pretense to acknowledge that transgender ideology is an objectively unethical, immoral, and unhealthy counterfeit treatment for a disorder. Gender is nothing more than verbiage that acknowledges biological sex, as such. Your ideology about gender does not redefine the meaning of gender, nor can it change your gender, for this reason. It was only my intention to comment with the truth, not to condemn you, because I genuinely hope for the best for you, too.

Been struggling with gender a lot, and I finally found a video (yours) that really relates to my experience for 99% of it. Thank you for sharing this
I’m so glad you were able to find my video!! I was in the same boat as you in the beginning of my journey! ❤

I liked makeup and feminine clothes but I always felt like I was a man dressing a female model, not my own body. Confusing.

Not sure why I got this recommended 3 years later, but pop off, King! 👑

@@english3082 you’re spending a lot of time on his video for someone who seems to “not agree” with what’s being talked about LOL. Fan behavior fosho.
Most people feel discomfort with their body at some point and early teens is a tough age but one can only run from physical reality for so long.

You seem real bothered about something that has nothing to do with you, wishing you the best and a smooth recovery babe.
