I’m a parent, and I have never been able to comprehend how a parent can kick their kids out when they learn new things about them. Bless you for surviving and telling your story. 💜💞❤️🌸🌺🌷💐🌼 🏳️⚧️
Im a parent of an angel, i would give any thing to have my son back where he belongs, its been 20 yrs since Niko died or a rare heart disease, i cant for the life of me even begin to understand why a parent would kick their child out from the family nest
I can never respect a parent that doesn't accept their child unconditionally. Im a parent and idk what my kids could do that could make me disown them. You are so strong and ambitious and it served you well. You go girl!
I totally know what it's like to being thrown out. I teared up when you paused after saying that. Happened to me too, but for different reasons. Giving you long distance air hugs. You go girl!
Myself and my cousins were raised 3rd generation Jehovah's witness. When my cousin came out to his parents at 17 he was instantly homeless. All the family, friends and people he looked up to turned their backs except myself, my two brothers and a couple other cousins who had left the religion before him. Though most of us were so far away and struggling ourselves to be able to help much. Thankfully he had friends, near where you are in fact, who took him in. He is now married to a man who makes him happy and he makes happy and i am so proud of him. Proud of you for staying strong even though i don't know you. Those who don't know being alone, who don't understand only knowing conditional love, don't understand the struggle of finding your true self whatever that looks like. Much love your way. You're such a strong and amazing and wise women.
I got kicked out too! I was very surprised, I had thought that my family would at least try to understand and I was wrong. It was a hard truth to learn to live with. I was born intersx, my mother told after many years of me being very confused about my gender, not knowing why and no telling anyone. It was eight years ago that mom told me and I began to understand and research my predicament. In short, not only am I intersex but also trans. I came out to my remediate family of thirty years, my two children and all help broke loose. My youngest child was the only accepting one, thank you very much for that. I honestly feel so much better now and it's only the beginning of my transition. I just want to be the best that I can be, that's all and to be accepted and respected. Much love, Mia 😊
You are so inspirational. To lose your family of origin like that but STILL have enuf self awareness & endurance to just KNOW everything would be ok, is such a powerful message about the power of our own intentions.
When you said that about it taking a village..... i just... i know what it's like to have that village then to have nobody because you no longer conform to their ways and the struggle as you try to stumble your way through learning how to build your own village and learning what unconditional love looks and feels like. You are awesome! I am glad I found your RUclips. You give me hope that I'll find my place one day in this crazy world. Even though it's different reasons and different experiences the basics are much the same and truly wish nothing but happiness for you as you continue to live your life.
OMG I left West Virginia five years at the end of the summer! I know all about that feeling of being thrown into Seattle. It’s remarkable that we arrived in town at about the same time. Best of luck to you in your success! Have fun in NYC!
I am nee new to your channel, stumbled on it by accident. I watched your surgery video. I think you are a remarkable person. Your hair is gorgeous and your skin is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story
Your strength and perseverance are amazing. I don't understand how a parent can kick their child out of the house for simply trying to be who they are.
My parents preempted all of that and I didn’t even get to explore before I was thrust into the world. All because they feared that I might be gay or transsexual. Even before I knew anything about myself. It’s so common for us to be betrayed by the people who we are supposed to be able to trust. I’m still trying to work on trust today. And it’s been 30 years since then.
You are so deserving of everything you have worked so hard for. You are an inspiration and you will go far with your optimism and outlook on life. Have fun in New York! 🤗
I like your voice so much , you speak slowly here and it give the time to translate in french. . I enjoy every video you share. You are a good and resiliant person. I think you own the good keys of the Life. Have a nice trip in New-york.
I just had to pause at 2:01 How can someone who raised you ask you to leave the family home? because you presented 'yourself' to them, is beyond me. Though in hindsight you seem to have gotten stronger. I'm a new subscriber. Somewhere along the gender spectrum, I am myself. I'm so glad you are you! You're an inspiration to Thousands if not Millions. "Long may you run". Right I'm off festive shopping (i'll catch up later) A Happy solstice to you and all you love. as usual, Greetings from Liverpool. ✌️🐝
I remember your first videos. Even then you were so full of hope and optimism. You never took any of it like a bad thing, you seemed to treat it like an opportunity. It is easily observable that the difference between success and failure is how a person chooses to spend their time. Just keep pushing. Also remember that our creator gave us two feet so that we could keep one in today and remember to live each day to the fullest. And the other in tomorrow, building a future worth having as we go. That's why they say, (One step at a time.), and not two. You go girl!
I have always felt close to you for your story, as it matched mine. I lived on the street for almost 2 years as I tried to understand the people who I had believed loved me. In 1975 there were so few things for a trans girl to survive on. I see much of my own strength in you Claire. You are a beautiful and bright girl with special gifts and most importantly... the ability to survive... wishing you all the best as Elaine and I always have. All Our Love.
I know exactly what you meant ... moldy bread but best days of your life. I went through a similar time. You are such a cool positive person that I think we are drawn to your story. I hope you are still doing well Claire. Merry Christmas from Jim in Colorado.
You remind me of the actress who plays Simone in the series that just ended on AMC called "Dispatches from Elsewhere". That's a compliment because she is amazing......like you.
You should be so proud of yourself. You have blossomed as a professional, and a woman, and you have managed your transition beautifully while becoming independent and self sustaining. You did make your own luck. You are an inspiration. Bless you.
I’m so sorry life gave you so many difficult situations to cope with. I would think people are more openminded here in Belgium, they sure are about me being gay, being married with another woman and having 2 kids. But whatever happend to you, each and every hardship, it made you into an impressive personality, this in an already gorgeous woman. Wish you all the happiness you so rightfully deserve!
Wow. What a story. So sorry you had to deal with all the bullshit from family and other people who think they are better than you. I think you would be an awesome person to hang out with. If you are ever in Georgia, I would be glad to meet you and be your friend.
I love hearing your story however, the background music in this talk was too loud, it was great when the music stopped for a moment but I feel the music takes away a lot because it’s too loud. Otherwise, good luck Claire and I look forward to your next messages which are so well done and honest
I agree your voice gets drowned out by the music. Your voices softens at the end of some of your statements there for it can’t be heard over the music.
That feeling you're talking about is God. He's made sure that you we're okay. And has been with you and has comforted you when you think you're alone. I'm a t girl as well. But that's not the main subject the main one is how he's taken me in ❤
Ill be your Mom you should be accepted for WHO you are no matter what sex. Its your heart that matters and if it is NOT happy then you must make it happy yourself.
Hawww its ok everything happens because there is reason of that happening so always just look to positive things u r the powerful soul u r most loveable and thankyou to come out as a true woman ❤️
Did you say "kicked out by the people who raised you"? Sigh! That's terrible. I am glad you stayed cool and did not go down on that one but moved and began some life. ❤
I need some of that optimism. My first gender therapist appointment is comming up, and I'm scared. I sometimes think that I should try to go back to how things were, to easier times,but while doing so I forget all the pain of those times. I had to quit my band after coming out, and things have just been taking a turn for the worse. Love your vids, you give me hope and Inspiration.
I think the optimism comes from doing the things that make your life better, like going to a therapist, and getting on hormones. You're on the right path :)
I was born epileptic and started puberty early, all my life i was and still am called a "devil worshipper" by my mother. She's a pentacostal "Christian". At 19 she threw me out of the house, i had no where to turn to except to a murderer and pedophile that would drink and drug everyday. I had to do him sexual favors. My parents told all of my relatives that i was a "homosexual" went to San Francisco, got gang raped and shot up with heroine, and committed suicide. But i didn't, My relatives were shocked!!! In 2014 i came out to my family and they disowned me, no family, no car, no support, no friends; relatives are frightened to even communicate with me. I am looking for a way to move to a state that I'll have strong support and hopefully state medical insurance pays for the SRS. What few relatives i have left alive on earth are in NYC, because of what my parents say about me being a "devil worshipper" they are frightened to have anything to do with me. I tried communicating with them by Facebook, they blocked me. I have no one to turn to for support or help with surgery, doctors, or housing. 😞
Love you but the music has got to go! Oh no- I just watched some more videos and now realize that the music is part of your passion. I am so sorry my sister, please let me explain. It wasn’t bad music at all- Just very loud and DISTRACTING. I wanted to focus on what you were saying but just couldn’t do it. To be FAIR- I do have misphonia which is a hearing disorder that I have struggled with for a very long time. I also struggle severe PTSD which aggravates the condition. So it makes it harder for me (sometimes impossible) to focus in when there are multiple layers of noise. I would love to be able to focus on you when speaking and your music when you are not speaking. I hope this makes more sense. I truly adore you and you are so beautiful and brave! You are wildly talented and you are truly inspirational to me!💜
Hello Claire I stumbled across your video this evening and I have a question about your move to Seattle you said your Father and Step mom rejected you and you went to your Mothers and she accepted you why did you go to Seattle and sleep under a tree and eat scraps if your mother accepted you? I saw your gender reassignment video and your mother was there with you and seems like a lovely woman why would you just stay with her untill you got your footing in this world? Hope I'm not asking anything too personal.
I don't come from money and so she couldn't help in much at all financially. Also, at the time, my mom and I were still healing from past experiences where divorce was the instigator. Long story short, my mom and I didn't really get along at that time due to a very long and very complex story.
Unconditional Love, what most people have not learned yet but there is still time . To learn what the most high son Jesus tryed to show, this is why he Loves the undesirable. Peace and Love to all, even if you don't want it ,it will be waiting for you always.
Trying to push your self made self on a child is wrong. You should have respected their wishes. You got what you deserved. It's funny how you label someone as "transphobic" just because they have different beliefs than you. So typical of the less than one percent who want to change the world to suit their wants!!!!!

WTF! Which Parent kicks their own childrens out? Especially childrens in need! I cannot believe this! God bless you!
Claire you are so relatable, just found your channel! Grateful to go along on your journey.

Stong awoke human being and a beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing your story. Beautiful journey.
You have such grace and elegance. I wish you well on all your ventures, happiness becomes you.
I love your work. You use the background music with such taste.
The video is nothing without music. So often audio/music is taken for granted. Thank you for noticing.

I'm like you in that I tend to be positive .
Hope you're doing ok 😊
Thanks xxxx
4 years and 2 days after you got here, I found your videos. I was newly hatched, and you trans-ported me to knowledge. Thank you :)
I realize this is several years old but is still so relevant today. Claire, you are so lovable, beautiful, and such an inspiration!❤
You should be so proud of yourself. You have blossomed as a professional, and a woman, and you have managed your transition beautifully while becoming independent and self sustaining. You did make your own luck. You are an inspiration. Bless you.
Good for you claire, keep flourishing. 😊👍
