Knowing that things are going to get better as time goes on is really reassuring This video is probably going to help me a lot and I thank you for this :)
i cannot WAIT for someone from gen z to become a president and say "yeah no man all yall hands off im bouta give em rights" im genderfaun and pansexual as well as polyamorous(romantically) in a lutheran school and i am very lucky to have a supporting mom and siblings as well as good friends who are also apart of the community(we did it boys my one friend who isnt part of the community found something) but i do understand that people dont have a good time whether it be in school or just in public without people caring about your well being at all it breaks my heart to know that people are going through this and it makes me just wanna sock em in the balls
@@thotslayer9914 its just a term bruh Im pretty sure its self explanatory, but a "band mom" is someone that basically becomes a mother figure for people in band, because they volunteer or work for band stuff
As a male , I had longer hair in my high school days. I remember once visiting some governmental facility with my school and being denied entry to a male bathroom because a security guy or whatever though I was female. I simply barged my way in and did my business, but even after that the man made a small scene to my school teacher who knew I was male... Thats 1/10th of what real trans people pass through and it was horrible having an adult trying to get me out of a bathroom. A grown ass 40-years or so barging his way into a room with a half-nude child because a "pussy" would taint the holiness of the shitter. The foolish think that "gendered" toilets would make people safe, when it's actually Good Sense and Civility the real answer.
@@BASED877 do you have zero reading comprehension? read the original comment and you'll know that the commenter is not trans. and like i said, it doesn't matter. if a person is trans they should be able to use the bathroom they want to use.
@@BASED877 how is it rude? why can't they just be who they are? i don't understand. trans people deserve to be treated like their gender and treating them like their original gender is rude and can often trigger trauma from gender dysphoria and stuff.
@@BASED877 how are they pretending? and i still don't understand how it's rude. you at least owe some respect and empathy. it's not like they're causing you a big inconvenience. does the existence of trans people somehow endanger your livelihood or something? or do you just feel uncomfortable for no explicit reason.
Unpleasant but not all together unexpected, Highschool is a place where you either conform to the social norms, listen to others expectations, and change yourself to how people want, or you are expected to just curl up and die, its a cruel world and somehow I feel like people are getting even less tolerant than they were decades ago
I think we are going in the right direction, just very very slowly. I get what you mean though, the anicent greeks were more based than we are today when when it comes to trans rights
I tried to come out when I was 14: my family didn’t accept it and forced me to suppress it and I’m now 26 and still have no idea who I am or what I am.. this young man is a hero to myself and so many others. I hope he does well in life.
How can you not know? If you thought you were sure at 14 and aren't now then that means you were never truely sure in the first place. A piece of advice. Gender idenity is not set in stone. It is ok move across the spectrum to find out what fits you. People shouldnt be trying to fit themselves into identy that young anyway because they will not have experimented with enough partners to be certain if they are indeed gay, straight, trans etc.
@@Makorze wow what a bad take. I hope this person knows there’s not a time limit on identity. Just do what you can to be comfortable and it’s okay that you had to hide a part of yourself to protect yourself, the world isn’t fully accepting and it won’t be for a while but there’s a community for you when you’re ready to meet it once again
@@yulelog22 plenty of people have been rushed into choosing an idenity and when it comes to transitioning, living with the regret isnt so easy. Just because someone is confused at that age does not automatically mean they must be trans. People who feel pressured or forced into it will only bring further damage to people with geniune body dismorphia down the line.
@@Makorze not all trans people have dysphoria + the transition regret rates are literally at like 1% and 90% of the reasons for detransition don't have anything to do with not feeling trans in itself but with external pressure forcing the person to detransition - parents, medication related issues, etc. most young people know who they are at 14 gender wise. stopping teens from expressing their gender as they please is *literally* murderous
Hey, trans guy here. I know there's a bunch of comments like this but I just felt like putting in my own two cents. I cannot explain how happy I was to see this video here. It made me feel welcomed in a community that usually isn't so welcoming. I really appreciate this, and spreading awareness on transphobia and just all around lgbtqphobia. From reading these comments its given a lot of people a new perspective on the topic and I respect that. Thank you so much.
@@BASED877 genetically yes, even though i know i’ll pretty much never be a true guy, that won’t stop me so, you’re not wrong but i don’t appreciate your comment
@@BASED877 well human rights and what people really are allowed to be is subjective and controversial and i don’t demand that they call me by masculine pronouns, if they don’t like it then alright. agree to disagree and i see your point but i also don’t see the need to continue this because it’s just going to be back and forth and we’d be wasting each other’s time since we have different opinions. please have a nice day, night, evening, whatever your timezone is and maybe get a glass of water ^^
@@azureaqua_1177 don't worry what some other people think (especially the commenter you're replying to) if your gender identity is that of as a man and you feel being a man would make you happier then congrats! you're a man! :) that and the idea of a "true guy" doesn't exist; im a cis man and every non-amab guy is just as much of a man as i am. while most people's genders are the same as their sex the two don't have to be correlated
@@azureaqua_1177 I’m sorry that you had to go through that dickhead right there, just know that there’s always peoples that are willing to accept you and that you’re not alone. In my personal opinion there are no right or wrong in the lgbtq+ community, people are there to be who they are and that’s the entire point, and to you and to whoever reads this: I’m proud of you for standing up for what you believe in and I hope you have a good day!
bro please get this guy on again. I don't even care what he talks about, dude's funny. Every time he said "full titty out" i had to pause the video to crack up. also trans rights
Before I watched this video I would have never changed my thoughts. I disagreed with anyone who was Trans. I am now aware of what this person and many others are going through. I want to apologize because I should have never hated anyone because of what they identify as.
fellow trans woman here, I can confirm again that it does get better, it may take a while in some cases but it does. and good luck out there for you too
Non gender conforming pansexual (but leaning more towards the gay side) here and I just want to say no matter how much it feels like it's never going to it always gets better and you just have to realize that life is challenging you and you need to rise up to that challenge and kick it's ass
I knew a trans boy who was adopted by a religious family and he was told by the daughter of that family he was going to hell, and they disowned him for "religious reasons". Because they didn't agree with his existence, he was forced out of his foster home, which had people who actually loved him, they forced him out of there, they paid for him and dragged him from his foster home, only to disown later and put him somewhere different, he looked so broken and detached from reality, his only comfort where his school friends, which he would soon be separated from because he had to move schools, and i wish i was there for him, but by the time we became friends, and exchanged gifts and really started to care for each other. Covid happened and i was stuck home permanently. And i haven't seen him since. I pray for his safety and he is able to be himself. I'm trans mtf and my parents accept me but are afraid to expose me in public, thinking I'll leave a bad impression on them, so my mom calls me he around family, and forces me to wear "normal clothes". I hope i can get a job soon and start hrt, I'm 19 now, and I've been doing my best to feminize myself, lose weight and voice train, and I've done a great job, i feel very good about myself, but i can't be like this forever. If anyone has advice on how to get started without stressing my parents out or making them think it will be to complicated I'd be extremely happy.
I wish you the best of luck. If you are in the United States call Planned Parenthood. They offer informed consent in some states. Informed consent is where you book an appointment with them and do a health check to get HRT if you are over 18. No therapy or anything like that required. It’s the quickest way to get HRT especially if you are poor and can’t afford to go the therapist route.
I'm not part of the lgbt community, white, male, and a Christian/semi practicing Catholic to boot but I want to tell anyone who is lgbt that you aren't doing sinful things. Sin is when you hurt someone or yourself and in my world that's not sin. You are good just the way you are and that God made you just the way He intended. Just to let you know that we are all over the place, people who do respect you for who you are.❤❤❤🏳️🌈 Edit: I should elaborate further that sin is only valid where it is something that you do at your own free will and where one CHOOSES to do bad things. Being gay is something where you don’t really have a choice in the matter. As much as it hurts for people to think of me as less of a Christian for having this opinion, I at least feel confident in knowing that Christ commanded me to love and show kindness to those who are suffering both inside and out by others just for being different.
Your a very strong brave young man. I'm very proud and somewhat jealous of the younger generation. I'm 42 and a transwoman, I've yet to begin any real therapy. I'm afraid I maybe too old to even start. It does make me feel very happy to know so many get to go through their life as the correct gender.
I don't know what to say I wanted to say nice things but am bit confused and I don't know if it would be nice or humiliating to talk or motivate this I feel dis comfort and wish u two well 😅and happy long life

@@tomasg851 I have, more so within the past month then ever before. I've been letting my hair grow out for months. I've used an electronic razor to trim all my body hair, and now I'm getting rid of the remaining with Nair. I was watching videos on how to change my voice, but I've gotten sick (hopefully just the flu) and my throats been too sore. Hopefully within the next four months I'll have my own place (I've been taking care of my disabled sister) and cab start speaking with a therapist.
"Told their *mormon mother* " me, a trans nonbinary person with mormon parents, cringing didnt get to transition or come out at the age i would have liked, didnt know what being trans even was, but im happy now. props to this guy.
Im not familiar with how that exactly works, but I think "trans" doesnt have to mean male and female, it can mean other genders too, and non-binary is one of them
This is horrible. How can someone look at this and hate this kid? I consider myself a progressive person, I support the LGBTQ+ community, (but am not a part of it) so I don't have perspective, and I really hope this does not happen to some of my friends
Yeah, I hear you on that one. Luckily my school seems to be pretty accepting. Of course, thats from the perspective of a guy who isnt a part of the community, so I dont know what some people actually deal with. Most people dont bother me because im "masculine" Dont ask me how that logic works
@@a7n66 I agree with the other person I don’t think trans people should be allowed into each other’s bathrooms because physically there still male/female same with sports but I still am fine with people being trans because I don’t care
Hey, nonbinary kid here, I'm 14 and a lot of my friends are trans and they deal with a lot of these issues. I live in Arkansas, and I mainly hide my gender identity and just let people call me whatever gender they want, most people honestly can't even guess what my birth-gender is, and I would rather not call out people and insist on being called by my preferred gender identity, and that's how you get bullied and harassed. Not a single person at my school knows I'm nonbinary. Not a single soul, only a few of my online friends know, and my family knows. Nonbinary kids and trans kids at my school are bullied and harassed and I feel awful for them, I would never want to go through the same thing, and I try to support them the best I can. Glad to know things get better over time, I may share this story with some of my other trans and nonbinary friends
I believe in you, you don’t need to come out at all, but if you want to, I hope it makes you happy! I hope you’re in a good place, and, as one enby to another, I’m proud of you
@@jukebox7811 Glad to see my comment is still being seen after all this time! Since then I've come out as transgender, and have made some supportive friends at my school who know. Everyone around me is so so so supportive and I'm even beginning small steps of transitioning (voice training). Everything's going great for me :D
I’m a trans woman and it’s inspiring to hear the bathrooms will get better, but horrifying that people will post stuff if you show up at your gender’s changing room. I feel like he’s lucky though that the school accepted him, because I go to a Catholic school and am scared to tell even a fellow trans person
My best friend who is trans is transitioning to have a male body. By looking at him alone you'd think he was born a male. A struggle he deals with is it's very difficult for him to get his operations as the NHS keeps focusing on covid. I find it to be rediculously unfair but I understand they are prioritising safety. I understand this dude in the video a bit more thanks to my experience with other trans people. He seems cool and reminds me a little of that friend :)

Trans man here- I knew I was trans when I was a kid and people saw as a boy already and was disgusted at my existence during my middle and high school careers. The shit brung me down and influenced me to hide who I was until now for 6 years. This made me smile and ready for what the future holds.

I a trans person currently in highschool. I'll tell you that it's definitely very tough, tons of people hate me for my existence, but thus far, I am alive.
People who are out about this in highschool are SO BRAVE. I’m a senior in highschool, about to go to college, and I’m still closeted. Wishing my trans brothers, sisters, and siblings the best.

I’m a trans man and very proud of it but I still use the girls’ bathroom at school because it nasty in the boys’ bathroom and I ain’t dealing with mystery puddles.
That's completely fair, cause in my middle school, I'd found a trash can on top of the disabled toilet, one day the same toilet was filled with garlic. Another time, it smelled so strongly of sulfur, that they had to get a hazmat team. And did i mention that none of this bullshite happened in the girls restrooms?
I hope he didn’t get hurt from exercising in a binder, you really shouldn’t exercise in them especially when overheating as well. Hell it was difficult for me to wear tight sportsbras during PE, I was never able to buy a binder so I layered sportsbras. I wish this guy nothing but success. Also as a past drumline member, those parents will do almost anything for you.
Even though I myself may not be trans, I feel that your sexuality or your Gender should not determine who you are as a person. I really do hope for the best of luck to you.
"Master chief mind telling me what are you doing in the comment section again?" "Sir respecting trans people like they are human beings like the rest of us"
This was in my Navy days, but the person I decided to spend the money to room with outside of base mentioned one night that she was trans. Apparently, my non-reaction with the word "cool" and continuing to watch One Piece with her meant the world.
Man. I'm not trans, i am still apart of the LGBT+ community however, i was accepted for who i was pretty openly, sure there were people who were disgusted? Sure lets go with that, that i was happy with myself but i had amazing friends who would stick up for me so i never really had to be scared, this story makes my heart ache from sadness because yea people still don't accept LGBT+ people for some fucking reason, i just, i hope this dude is okay now
This guy has balls of steel man i don't think a lot of people get how nerve wracking it is to try to do this shit in high school and keep your head. Just going to school as myself is already scary as fuck and I don't even have to worry about locker rooms, only peeing at school and the like. If I was on the news or the topic of a school board debate for being trans, I'd just spontaneously dissolve into a bunch of little particles or something.
Tbh locker rooms need more privacy period though. Whoever thought its a good idea to put a bunch of naked/changing highschoolers in a room together clearly is out of touch with how harsh high school bullying can be for anyone. I think there should be changing curtains/stalls in locker rooms and showers then so much of these concerns about privacy would literally become a non issue. Edit: I also forgot to mention what an absolute asshole that mom is for blowing that whole situation out of proportion, like homie wasnt popping out his feminine parts in there or anything he just wanted to change with the rest of the guys. Tbh proves my last point in my original comment. Changing and shower spaces need more privacy for all people.
I’m a somewhat closeted trans dude in highschool and this interview brought me to tears. Thank you for making this, it was very inspirational for me to watch. Maybe things will get better after HS
I only recently came out as a trans woman, and I can't help myself from expressing my jealously at the amount of acceptance the younger generation has today, however small it still may be.when I was in school, being trans wasn't even an option. Fuck, being gay was barely even acceptable. There were 6 openly gay kids in my school, but that was their whole personality. I was raised by very conservative parents, and even coming out as base LGBT was hard. That earned me a punch in the face and years of emotional neglect. Only 5 years after I graduated college with a bachelor's degree did I find the confidence to come out to my partner, who accepted me instantly... but, I was disowned by a good chunk of my family. Words can't describe how difficult it is to just exist as someone who wants to be left the fuck alone when you're trans, and I have to give this man all the props in the world for being way more of a badass than I ever could've been. Lots of love, stay strong, and all that💕
I... can tell that you're in a bit of a pickel. I only have a few words I can say to you, so if you ever get the chance to live healthily(mental and physique) and away from them, it's probably best you take the chance. It's better to be happy than miserable.
that's the goal, the phrase "trans right are humans right" is here to say "trans people should have the same right as everyone else" hopefully we'll get there someday !
I wish people would realize as a ftm who is under the age of 15, I am not expecting to be worshipped; all I want is just to be accepted as a member of society.
I wanna be a bodyguard for LGBT children It doesn't matter what age, abusive family or not, I want to protect these people because they're human like all of us, we're all the same no matter what, I'm a bisexual, demi boy myself but I'd still like to help others in LGBT because my sexuality and identity doesn't matter, and neither does theirs, as long as they are safe, loved, and cared for, I rest well knowing that one day I will to help these people
I know you're probably going to wind up a social worker or something but "Bodygaurd for lgbt kids" taken literally would be a fun premise for a cheesy action movie.
Like, you know the anime Jormungand? bunch of soldiers and a pacifist child protagionist have to protect an insane arms dealer as she tries to carry out insane bond villian plan? The reverse of that. The last trans kid on earth is escorted by a volunteer private military to the only hospital capable of performing full body transplants in a world where transitioning has been made obsolete by recently banned gene-modding technology (that was banned right before the story begins to explain why one last trans person exists). Like, go full on Aliens meets Children of Men with the premise. Six seasons and a movie.
2:25 As a man, I can confirm that the men's bathrooms are much more disgusting. Back in my high school, we had kids who would piss in the soap dispensers and crap in the urinals.
I’m trans and have just started going by my new name literally today and it’s such a weight off my shoulders. Being trans has been tricky, but it’s worth being out so that the younger kids can see me and feel like they can be their true selves too (I had people like that when I was younger who I’d see in the hallways and it always inspired me)
The idea of a young boy complaining that there is a "girl" in the boys' locker room changing "full titty out" to his mother really makes me crack up. Like, I'm not gonna lie-- I was an awkward teenager. I'd stare sometimes at people who presented female. I was going through puberty. I'm not proud of it. But the GALL to then tell your mother that you were doing it?? That's some crazy.
I have a friend who doesn't really know if he's trans yet, but basically he was assigned female at birth, but prefers male pronouns. He is everything to me, and I'll always support him. What really breaks my heart is seeing what he has to go through for being who he is, we're lucky that all of our classmates, literally everyone in our class is really amazing and respectful. We're friends with everyone, and also, our school might be religious but they're respectful, we even had a science class talking about sexuality and gender identity, which was also f*cking awesome (Science teachers are always the best). But not everyone is like that, he was harassed by some kids for preferring male pronouns, they were calling him a "she/her" while repeatedly saying he was a girl. That broke my heart and pissed the f*ck out of me, I can't stand to see him suffering that kind of thing. What makes me even more scared is that at one point I'll have to tell my parents about him, I haven't told them already because I'm afraid they'll prevent me from hanging out or even being his friend anymore... My parents are pretty much respectful of LGBTQ+ people when it comes to their sexuality, but on the other hand they believe trans people are sick and that everyone is born with the right gender. I've tried to talk to them a few times about how that doesn't make any sense and that trans people do exist and should be treated with respect, but they just don't listen to me and probably will never listen. This video spreads awareness, and I really hope that the guy in the video is doing fine, I'm not a part of the community but I'm for sure a big supporter. Respect is respect and everyone deserves it, no matter what.
Man, I’m glad your classmates are respectful! And I hope your parents will come to understand trans people at some point! Also, off topic but nice Kel pfp lol
Here's the thing and this might be an unpopular view however I'm gonna voice it anyway. I myself am not an active supporter partially because I don't know a single trans or gay person but also because its odd to me and I cant quite get comfortable with the idea. HOWEVER. As a human being, treating another human being like that for any reason is fucked. And I don't care if a trans person uses the same bathroom as me or something, its not like I'm going to be creeped by it because IM NOT ACTIVELY WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE. That's what creepy fucks do. But yeah in general whether I associate with your movement or not I think its still important to, you know, treat people like human beings.
You can never go wrong with treating people with respect. It is a grantee good thing to do because at the end of the day we want to be treated like people.
He said "Mormon" and my heart immediately dropped, I knew where this would lead. Very blessed he shared this story, helps give us trans people a lil more hope about the future.
I remember one of my friends who was a trans guy, was forced to use the women's bathroom at school, I straight up made sure he went to the guys bathroom I would go with him cause there were teachers who didn't like it. Idk why it's so controversial, people think trans people are bathroom predators mostly conservative governors in America think that however funnily enough women are more likely to be assaulted by governors than trans women
im a trans girl and coming out as trans is absolutely terrifying. i still havent told the school or my grandparents (or just any extended family except my cousins on my dad's side) because i have no idea how tf theyre gonna take it. coming out can sometimes be fine but sometimes its like when people say "it'll be fine dont worry about it" and then the worst actually happens. its great seeing other people tell their stories because it kind of reminds you that youre not alone in stuff
also one reason i havent told the school is because (as he talked about in the video) locker rooms and bathrooms are kind of a mystery and definitely one of the scariest parts of coming out
@@Snow_Sailor yea i’ve heard of something about getting a special key every time you need to go there but at least it exists in some places i don’t think we have them at all in germany
I’m a trans guy just about to enter high school and I have actually had people shake and try to open my door in the bathroom. I can confirm that’s it’s rough cause middle school is already hard and the bullying just makes it more rough. We just want to do our business.
People did that to me too in high school and I'm just a normal guy. So don't you dare for a second thing they did it after you just because you were trans so please stop thinking you're a victim. That's just what being a guy is like if you don't like it go back to being a woman well life is easier
I don't usually comment on things, but I had a semi-similar experience in high school. It never reached the news but I and another trans guy had to fight to change in the locker rooms (he came more prepared than I did with way more legal paperwork as support lol). I was also in band and for whatever reason my band director had a huge issue with me changing with the guys in my junior year, which sucked to deal with but he gave up on harassing me about it senior year because he was the only one that cared. Band moms DEFINITELY will always have your back.
Damn, I relate to the thing he said about either making it your whole personality/a big part of your personality or trying to be the "correct" kind og person that fits into society. On the internet I'm very open about this stuff as you can probably see by the pride flags on my pf, but when in my daily life I often unconsciously try to be someone that everyone is cool with (even though my mere existence makes that impossible) and try to pass... but due to fitting into neither the guy or girl category that's also kinda impossible. I'm really happy that these issues about transphobia are getting brought up more often, it makes me feel seen. Also really happy that the world has come pretty far in a short time... like 5 years ago I woulda panicked if I even remotly accidentally mentioned to any of my school peers that I was part of the lgbtq comunity but now I actually have many people who are there for me no matter what gender I am or isn't or who I like (and I'm incredibly thankfull to have people who are there for me and that I will also be there for) Anyway yeah, sorry for the rant, if anyone bothered to read this: firstly so sorry you read through all of that and secondly hope you have a good day :) no matter how hard it get's there will always be people who care about you. Aight das it sorry for grammer
Its madness that you were even able to come out at 14. I saw a very close friend come out and be ostracised for it. They were bullied, outcasted and even teachers told her not to be herself. It all made me hide who I was. Like I knew I was trans. But the world around me never accepted it, it was either shut up and pretend to be normal or be attacked emotionally, verbally and physically every single day. Now I'm 23 a university graduate and out and proud, because what I was told and saw as a kid was wrong and I'm happy to see it slowly change to be more accepting. So yeah, I second this. It gets better just take it as it comes and things won't be this hard forever its just part of being human and that's okay.
As a trans guy who had to change a lot of people's minds about trans people in high school, i totally relate to this experience. It sucks that people insist on being rude to us and dealing with abusive situations. my friends had my back thankfully but the experience sucked. i commend finn for going through gym class as a trans man!
I'm a trans guy who hasn't started their medical transition yet, but I can kinda pass if I don't speak and wear a binder. People will usually assume i'm either a femboy or a butch, but most judge me as soon as they lay eyes on me. I often get people staring me up and down only to be mad at me. I've had people come up to me as a dare to test my gender. I've had people come up to punch me in the face just because I don't fit their standard. I've been locked inside bathrooms by classmates, I've been bullied infront of my class by my mentor and I've had people drop me as their friend because being in my proximity meant you were an outcast. I've found some proper friends now, and the people in my current class aren't transphobic, but that doesn't mean I'm accepted fully. Being trans often means not really belonging with any group until you fit other people their standards. For example, the group often talks about the boys and the girls, but I don't get included in either of those groups. I don't judge them for not seeing me as a cis guy, that's not the goal either. But it's like you're never enough to fit in until you fall into the beauty and personality standards that others place upon you.
@@blank888 some of this stuff can be a bit confusing at first, but to explain it all as simply as possible, a trans male means that someone was born a girl, but transitioned to become a dude. A trans female is someone who was born as a guy but transitioned to become a girl. The person shown in this video is a trans guy. I hope this helps!
@@blank888 You will get the hang of it eventually. When i first figured out i was pans, i didn’t understand anything. Like the person above said, Trans male means he was born a female, but are now a male. And Trans female means she was born a male but are now a female.
My favorite counter to the argument about predators going into bathroom pretending to be trans so they can abuse someone, what's stopping them from going into a bathroom of the opposite gender in the first place?
Or imagining a post op post test trans man waltzing up into the women's room. Like seriously imagine a bulky trans dude jacked muscles and a full on beard walking up to a women's room or a very obviously passing trans chick in the men's room. Seems like it makes everyone less uncomfortable to just let them go to the one that theyre transitioning to, like who cares. I do understand the privacy concern about the locker rooms though, but also why the hell arent locker rooms in 2022 more private anyway? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make total strangers change in front of one another anyway? We all need more privacy. If they can build changing stalls in a Kohls or an Old Navy or any clothing/department store then they should also be able to build them in public school showers and locker rooms. Its time to invest in more privacy for everybody, lgbtq or not. Then so much of this shit that right wingers and feminist karens like to bitch about would become non issues and we could all get on with our lives.

This story is horrifying...I'm so happy that the high school I went to was very accepting. All of my trans friends were safe and had scores of students supporting them. I wish it could be like that everywhere...
I'm Agender (mostly masc presentation) and the character randomizer gave me the Tiddy Trait, so I can relate on a personal level to people getting weird about these sorts of things, even if it just involves the CONCEPT of gender questioning. Some people really do hear someone mention wanting to change something to do with their gender and go, "What do you mean youre unsatisfied with your meat prison that you didn't choose, and the role we gave you that you didn't want!?"
"What do you mean you're unsatisfied with your lack of hereditary wealth? Not everybody can be a Rockefeller." I jest, of course, but life isn't a sandbox game where you get to custom pick every detail of the experience before playing. It's a survival game where you make the best of what you have to work with. It's not fair, it's not pleasant, and the only way that the game ends is with death. You can accept it for what it is or fight against it, but at the end of the day the game is the game. And it's a game that you were never meant to win.
"most likely I was gong to get death threats, which I did". Rough. And surprisingly aware of how that tends to happen. I've heard of them chipping at people's sanity so it's nice that he seemed more nonchalant about it. Could've answered with a repeat of "I've received your suggestion and will gladly kill myself via old age. Thank you for your patience"
My secondary school is really accepting for lgbtq+ people, we have an lgbtq+ club, school therapists (that are good) and more I just can’t think of it. My school allows the children to have a say in what they may be changing and such and every now and then they let us do a survey about what we want come to the school and then they obviously read through it and decide between the teachers what they could do. Anyways, some student suggested the lgbtq+ club and the teachers helped to get it to start happening. We have posters around our school suggesting to join a club like that. We have many lgbtq+ people and a really diverse school and ALMOST everyone is extremely accepting of it all. We rarely have occasions of bullying because they’re always dealt with and mostly all reported. Our school tries their best to include everyone and not make anyone feel bad about anything, it’s amazing. But we still have to do homework.
Hubby is a trans man, me and our wifey are very upset with how he has been treated by family and has been let down by society. There is a problem with our society and it shouldn't ever be one in the 1st place. I am glad that the person in this video is willing to put their story out there, and I support him 100%. Society needs not a change, but to be rebuilt from the ground up, due to its inevitable nature to let those down who don't deserve hate in the slightest.
this was a really good interview. i'm 15 and practically everyone i know knows i'm trans. and i live in utah, where almost everyone is mormon. which does not exactly blend well. so this is nice to hear from another trans guy going through the school system
Damn, it feels bad to say “Hey I wasn’t the only trans kid that was treated like shit” because we really shouldn’t have to deal with things like this just for being who we are.
Teen years are the ABSOLUTE worst. Dependence on family, limited friend groups, S C H O O L. It gets exponentially better once you move out, go to uni etc.
It’s so fucking stupid to me that all of this happened because some 14 year old kid wanted to be himself. I hate it when people make a mountain out of a mole hill…
im a young trans man [im completely pre-everything] and i have the same trouble with changing-i used change in the disabled toilets which feels horrible so i’ve started not doing PE at all. my parents completely support me which i’m so grateful for,, and they make sure my teacher doesn’t kick off at me for not doing it. i’m also still in the girls pe group-i don’t mind as i’m still friends with a lot of girls and i’d much rather there than with the boys who shout slurs at me everyday. now i’m on birth control to stop my period as holy that’s the worst part for me,, and i’m on the list to get testosterone [although that will be years from now]. it has gotten a little better but i’m hoping when i get my binder and i get surgery and testosterone shots i will be much happier.
Hey, I’m going to the doctor tomorrow to hopefully get on birth control too! I’m really looking forward to it. Wish me luck lol (Also, is there anything that you wish you’d known before you went on birth control, went to the appointment, etc.?)
i just started using the staff bathrooms to change for gym until i felt comfortable enough to use the guys bathroom. no one ever said anything to me. but when i wanted to go on the band trip they wanted me to room by myself but i wanted to room with my friend Sam cause no one else was rooming alone, which he was fine with it and so was his parents. it took a bunch of the band parents calling the school and complaining to just be able to room with my friend. the principal was bringing his religious beliefs to school, religion and work should be separate.

As a male , I had longer hair in my high school days.
I remember once visiting some governmental facility with my school and being denied entry to a male bathroom because a security guy or whatever though I was female.
I simply barged my way in and did my business, but even after that the man made a small scene to my school teacher who knew I was male...
Thats 1/10th of what real trans people pass through and it was horrible having an adult trying to get me out of a bathroom. A grown ass 40-years or so barging his way into a room with a half-nude child because a "pussy" would taint the holiness of the shitter.

How can you not know? If you thought you were sure at 14 and aren't now then that means you were never truely sure in the first place.
A piece of advice. Gender idenity is not set in stone. It is ok move across the spectrum to find out what fits you.
People shouldnt be trying to fit themselves into identy that young anyway because they will not have experimented with enough partners to be certain if they are indeed gay, straight, trans etc.
@@Makorze wow what a bad take.
I hope this person knows there’s not a time limit on identity. Just do what you can to be comfortable and it’s okay that you had to hide a part of yourself to protect yourself, the world isn’t fully accepting and it won’t be for a while but there’s a community for you when you’re ready to meet it once again
@@yulelog22 plenty of people have been rushed into choosing an idenity and when it comes to transitioning, living with the regret isnt so easy. Just because someone is confused at that age does not automatically mean they must be trans.
People who feel pressured or forced into it will only bring further damage to people with geniune body dismorphia down the line.
@@Makorze not all trans people have dysphoria
@@Makorze not all trans people have dysphoria + the transition regret rates are literally at like 1% and 90% of the reasons for detransition don't have anything to do with not feeling trans in itself but with external pressure forcing the person to detransition - parents, medication related issues, etc.
most young people know who they are at 14 gender wise. stopping teens from expressing their gender as they please is *literally* murderous

I knew a trans boy who was adopted by a religious family and he was told by the daughter of that family he was going to hell, and they disowned him for "religious reasons". Because they didn't agree with his existence, he was forced out of his foster home, which had people who actually loved him, they forced him out of there, they paid for him and dragged him from his foster home, only to disown later and put him somewhere different, he looked so broken and detached from reality, his only comfort where his school friends, which he would soon be separated from because he had to move schools, and i wish i was there for him, but by the time we became friends, and exchanged gifts and really started to care for each other. Covid happened and i was stuck home permanently. And i haven't seen him since. I pray for his safety and he is able to be himself.
I'm trans mtf and my parents accept me but are afraid to expose me in public, thinking I'll leave a bad impression on them, so my mom calls me he around family, and forces me to wear "normal clothes". I hope i can get a job soon and start hrt, I'm 19 now, and I've been doing my best to feminize myself, lose weight and voice train, and I've done a great job, i feel very good about myself, but i can't be like this forever. If anyone has advice on how to get started without stressing my parents out or making them think it will be to complicated I'd be extremely happy.
I wish you the best of luck. If you are in the United States call Planned Parenthood. They offer informed consent in some states. Informed consent is where you book an appointment with them and do a health check to get HRT if you are over 18. No therapy or anything like that required.
It’s the quickest way to get HRT especially if you are poor and can’t afford to go the therapist route.
I'm not part of the lgbt community, white, male, and a Christian/semi practicing Catholic to boot but I want to tell anyone who is lgbt that you aren't doing sinful things. Sin is when you hurt someone or yourself and in my world that's not sin. You are good just the way you are and that God made you just the way He intended. Just to let you know that we are all over the place, people who do respect you for who you are.❤❤❤🏳️🌈
Edit: I should elaborate further that sin is only valid where it is something that you do at your own free will and where one CHOOSES to do bad things. Being gay is something where you don’t really have a choice in the matter. As much as it hurts for people to think of me as less of a Christian for having this opinion, I at least feel confident in knowing that Christ commanded me to love and show kindness to those who are suffering both inside and out by others just for being different.
That was wholesome, thank you.

@ no i'm right. you're just mad that people talk behind your back, huh? nah, i get it
This guy has balls of steel man i don't think a lot of people get how nerve wracking it is to try to do this shit in high school and keep your head. Just going to school as myself is already scary as fuck and I don't even have to worry about locker rooms, only peeing at school and the like. If I was on the news or the topic of a school board debate for being trans, I'd just spontaneously dissolve into a bunch of little particles or something.
what balls
Balls from surgery duh
That are made of titanium
Tbh locker rooms need more privacy period though. Whoever thought its a good idea to put a bunch of naked/changing highschoolers in a room together clearly is out of touch with how harsh high school bullying can be for anyone. I think there should be changing curtains/stalls in locker rooms and showers then so much of these concerns about privacy would literally become a non issue.
Edit: I also forgot to mention what an absolute asshole that mom is for blowing that whole situation out of proportion, like homie wasnt popping out his feminine parts in there or anything he just wanted to change with the rest of the guys. Tbh proves my last point in my original comment. Changing and shower spaces need more privacy for all people.
I’m a somewhat closeted trans dude in highschool and this interview brought me to tears. Thank you for making this, it was very inspirational for me to watch. Maybe things will get better after HS
I only recently came out as a trans woman, and I can't help myself from expressing my jealously at the amount of acceptance the younger generation has today, however small it still may be.when I was in school, being trans wasn't even an option. Fuck, being gay was barely even acceptable.
There were 6 openly gay kids in my school, but that was their whole personality. I was raised by very conservative parents, and even coming out as base LGBT was hard. That earned me a punch in the face and years of emotional neglect. Only 5 years after I graduated college with a bachelor's degree did I find the confidence to come out to my partner, who accepted me instantly... but, I was disowned by a good chunk of my family. Words can't describe how difficult it is to just exist as someone who wants to be left the fuck alone when you're trans, and I have to give this man all the props in the world for being way more of a badass than I ever could've been. Lots of love, stay strong, and all that💕
"so she went to Facebook"
Me: oh no a Karen
Not gonna lie his voice is really nice
My parents are transphobic and homophobic… and my heart condition lowers my chances to transition… I haven’t openly come out as trans female yet…

I... can tell that you're in a bit of a pickel. I only have a few words I can say to you, so if you ever get the chance to live healthily(mental and physique) and away from them, it's probably best you take the chance. It's better to be happy than miserable.
No you're just indoctrinated. None of this shit was around 15 years ago.
You've never lived in a world without the internet.
trans rights should just be rights
i swear if i said something that could be taken as bad in this i did not mean it that way
Nah that’s based, unlike the couple comments above you
that's the goal, the phrase "trans right are humans right" is here to say "trans people should have the same right as everyone else"
hopefully we'll get there someday !

yeah that avatar is adorable lol
I wish people would realize as a ftm who is under the age of 15, I am not expecting to be worshipped; all I want is just to be accepted as a member of society.
I wanna be a bodyguard for LGBT children
It doesn't matter what age, abusive family or not, I want to protect these people because they're human like all of us, we're all the same no matter what, I'm a bisexual, demi boy myself but I'd still like to help others in LGBT because my sexuality and identity doesn't matter, and neither does theirs, as long as they are safe, loved, and cared for, I rest well knowing that one day I will to help these people
I know you're probably going to wind up a social worker or something but "Bodygaurd for lgbt kids" taken literally would be a fun premise for a cheesy action movie.
Like, you know the anime Jormungand? bunch of soldiers and a pacifist child protagionist have to protect an insane arms dealer as she tries to carry out insane bond villian plan? The reverse of that. The last trans kid on earth is escorted by a volunteer private military to the only hospital capable of performing full body transplants in a world where transitioning has been made obsolete by recently banned gene-modding technology (that was banned right before the story begins to explain why one last trans person exists). Like, go full on Aliens meets Children of Men with the premise. Six seasons and a movie.
What the fuck is a demi boy?

2:25 As a man, I can confirm that the men's bathrooms are much more disgusting. Back in my high school, we had kids who would piss in the soap dispensers and crap in the urinals.
Bruh yikes lmaoo
my school had entire cheese sticks in the soap dispensers 💀
I’m trans and have just started going by my new name literally today and it’s such a weight off my shoulders. Being trans has been tricky, but it’s worth being out so that the younger kids can see me and feel like they can be their true selves too (I had people like that when I was younger who I’d see in the hallways and it always inspired me)
bit late but proud of you!
Congrats! I know I’m a bit late but I’m so proud of you, you’re an inspiration for so many. Good job!
The idea of a young boy complaining that there is a "girl" in the boys' locker room changing "full titty out" to his mother really makes me crack up. Like, I'm not gonna lie-- I was an awkward teenager. I'd stare sometimes at people who presented female. I was going through puberty. I'm not proud of it. But the GALL to then tell your mother that you were doing it?? That's some crazy.
Whats crazy is letting your daughter in the boys locker room.
I can confirm, band moms are too good for this world
I have a friend who doesn't really know if he's trans yet, but basically he was assigned female at birth, but prefers male pronouns. He is everything to me, and I'll always support him. What really breaks my heart is seeing what he has to go through for being who he is, we're lucky that all of our classmates, literally everyone in our class is really amazing and respectful. We're friends with everyone, and also, our school might be religious but they're respectful, we even had a science class talking about sexuality and gender identity, which was also f*cking awesome (Science teachers are always the best). But not everyone is like that, he was harassed by some kids for preferring male pronouns, they were calling him a "she/her" while repeatedly saying he was a girl. That broke my heart and pissed the f*ck out of me, I can't stand to see him suffering that kind of thing. What makes me even more scared is that at one point I'll have to tell my parents about him, I haven't told them already because I'm afraid they'll prevent me from hanging out or even being his friend anymore... My parents are pretty much respectful of LGBTQ+ people when it comes to their sexuality, but on the other hand they believe trans people are sick and that everyone is born with the right gender. I've tried to talk to them a few times about how that doesn't make any sense and that trans people do exist and should be treated with respect, but they just don't listen to me and probably will never listen. This video spreads awareness, and I really hope that the guy in the video is doing fine, I'm not a part of the community but I'm for sure a big supporter. Respect is respect and everyone deserves it, no matter what.
Man, I’m glad your classmates are respectful! And I hope your parents will come to understand trans people at some point! Also, off topic but nice Kel pfp lol

I look forward to a world where people realize trans kids are normal kids.
Here's the thing and this might be an unpopular view however I'm gonna voice it anyway. I myself am not an active supporter partially because I don't know a single trans or gay person but also because its odd to me and I cant quite get comfortable with the idea. HOWEVER. As a human being, treating another human being like that for any reason is fucked. And I don't care if a trans person uses the same bathroom as me or something, its not like I'm going to be creeped by it because IM NOT ACTIVELY WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE. That's what creepy fucks do. But yeah in general whether I associate with your movement or not I think its still important to, you know, treat people like human beings.
Same camp pal. I may not be an avid supporter, but I do agree with treating people with respect of them being humans
I mean...good that you take your time and dont like jump to supporting before understanding....cus whoo boy thats never a safe route to anything.
@@cloover-jg5zd like with the twitter cloud going head over heels?
You can never go wrong with treating people with respect. It is a grantee good thing to do because at the end of the day we want to be treated like people.
I agree with this
Even if your dont entirely understand or agree, the least you can be is inclusive and respectful, if not accepting
He said "Mormon" and my heart immediately dropped, I knew where this would lead. Very blessed he shared this story, helps give us trans people a lil more hope about the future.
I remember one of my friends who was a trans guy, was forced to use the women's bathroom at school, I straight up made sure he went to the guys bathroom I would go with him cause there were teachers who didn't like it. Idk why it's so controversial, people think trans people are bathroom predators mostly conservative governors in America think that however funnily enough women are more likely to be assaulted by governors than trans women
Trans people are more likely to be victims than perpetrators, and that's a fact people conveniently ignore.
Why do we even have gendered bathrooms in the first place.
@@chestnut4860 there's actually more non-gendered bathrooms than gendered ones in the world
I'm talking about the ones in our homes :P
im a trans girl and coming out as trans is absolutely terrifying. i still havent told the school or my grandparents (or just any extended family except my cousins on my dad's side) because i have no idea how tf theyre gonna take it. coming out can sometimes be fine but sometimes its like when people say "it'll be fine dont worry about it" and then the worst actually happens. its great seeing other people tell their stories because it kind of reminds you that youre not alone in stuff
also one reason i havent told the school is because (as he talked about in the video) locker rooms and bathrooms are kind of a mystery and definitely one of the scariest parts of coming out
You will get through it, I promise ❤️
@@elliot-k2g tysm you have no idea how much i needed to hear/read that
It takes one voice to speak up to make a lot of people brave enough to speak up
i wish there was just a third kind locker/bath room for people that just don’t care

There are in most schools but they're restricted for some reason.

I know someone who is trans, and this really helps me understand him more without bothering him about it, as I know he doesn’t want that.
same i also have a trans friend as well i can definitely understand him more after this video
I’m not trans but the best part of the male bathrooms is the mystery juices. Is it water. Is it pee. Is it Gatorade. We’ll never know.

@@AIDENo_o I didn't drink it don't worry
As a trans person who's about the same age as the guy in his story about the locker room this is my worst fear
I’m a trans guy just about to enter high school and I have actually had people shake and try to open my door in the bathroom. I can confirm that’s it’s rough cause middle school is already hard and the bullying just makes it more rough. We just want to do our business.
People did that to me too in high school and I'm just a normal guy. So don't you dare for a second thing they did it after you just because you were trans so please stop thinking you're a victim. That's just what being a guy is like if you don't like it go back to being a woman well life is easier
I don't usually comment on things, but I had a semi-similar experience in high school. It never reached the news but I and another trans guy had to fight to change in the locker rooms (he came more prepared than I did with way more legal paperwork as support lol). I was also in band and for whatever reason my band director had a huge issue with me changing with the guys in my junior year, which sucked to deal with but he gave up on harassing me about it senior year because he was the only one that cared. Band moms DEFINITELY will always have your back.
Damn, I relate to the thing he said about either making it your whole personality/a big part of your personality or trying to be the "correct" kind og person that fits into society. On the internet I'm very open about this stuff as you can probably see by the pride flags on my pf, but when in my daily life I often unconsciously try to be someone that everyone is cool with (even though my mere existence makes that impossible) and try to pass... but due to fitting into neither the guy or girl category that's also kinda impossible. I'm really happy that these issues about transphobia are getting brought up more often, it makes me feel seen. Also really happy that the world has come pretty far in a short time... like 5 years ago I woulda panicked if I even remotly accidentally mentioned to any of my school peers that I was part of the lgbtq comunity but now I actually have many people who are there for me no matter what gender I am or isn't or who I like (and I'm incredibly thankfull to have people who are there for me and that I will also be there for) Anyway yeah, sorry for the rant, if anyone bothered to read this: firstly so sorry you read through all of that and secondly hope you have a good day :) no matter how hard it get's there will always be people who care about you. Aight das it sorry for grammer
this dude is really cool
Its madness that you were even able to come out at 14. I saw a very close friend come out and be ostracised for it. They were bullied, outcasted and even teachers told her not to be herself. It all made me hide who I was. Like I knew I was trans. But the world around me never accepted it, it was either shut up and pretend to be normal or be attacked emotionally, verbally and physically every single day.
Now I'm 23 a university graduate and out and proud, because what I was told and saw as a kid was wrong and I'm happy to see it slowly change to be more accepting.
So yeah, I second this.
It gets better just take it as it comes and things won't be this hard forever its just part of being human and that's okay.
I feel like you're the vr chat version of Anthony Padilla and i love it keep it up my guy :D
Thank you!! :)
As a trans guy who had to change a lot of people's minds about trans people in high school, i totally relate to this experience. It sucks that people insist on being rude to us and dealing with abusive situations. my friends had my back thankfully but the experience sucked.
i commend finn for going through gym class as a trans man!
I'm a trans guy who hasn't started their medical transition yet, but I can kinda pass if I don't speak and wear a binder. People will usually assume i'm either a femboy or a butch, but most judge me as soon as they lay eyes on me. I often get people staring me up and down only to be mad at me. I've had people come up to me as a dare to test my gender. I've had people come up to punch me in the face just because I don't fit their standard.
I've been locked inside bathrooms by classmates, I've been bullied infront of my class by my mentor and I've had people drop me as their friend because being in my proximity meant you were an outcast.
I've found some proper friends now, and the people in my current class aren't transphobic, but that doesn't mean I'm accepted fully. Being trans often means not really belonging with any group until you fit other people their standards. For example, the group often talks about the boys and the girls, but I don't get included in either of those groups. I don't judge them for not seeing me as a cis guy, that's not the goal either. But it's like you're never enough to fit in until you fall into the beauty and personality standards that others place upon you.
honestly? if he didnt tell us that he is trans, i would have believed that he was born a male.
I didn't know what trans ment, So I thought he was a guy lol
@@blank888 not was, he is a guy
@@random_youtuber8095 DAMN this is confusing
@@blank888 some of this stuff can be a bit confusing at first, but to explain it all as simply as possible, a trans male means that someone was born a girl, but transitioned to become a dude. A trans female is someone who was born as a guy but transitioned to become a girl. The person shown in this video is a trans guy. I hope this helps!
@@blank888 You will get the hang of it eventually. When i first figured out i was pans, i didn’t understand anything. Like the person above said, Trans male means he was born a female, but are now a male.
And Trans female means she was born a male but are now a female.
Good to hear his life has improved significantly. Wishing you all the best Finn!
I am pissed at these creeps looking at him like he is different. Frick them!
My favorite counter to the argument about predators going into bathroom pretending to be trans so they can abuse someone, what's stopping them from going into a bathroom of the opposite gender in the first place?
Or imagining a post op post test trans man waltzing up into the women's room. Like seriously imagine a bulky trans dude jacked muscles and a full on beard walking up to a women's room or a very obviously passing trans chick in the men's room. Seems like it makes everyone less uncomfortable to just let them go to the one that theyre transitioning to, like who cares. I do understand the privacy concern about the locker rooms though, but also why the hell arent locker rooms in 2022 more private anyway? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make total strangers change in front of one another anyway? We all need more privacy. If they can build changing stalls in a Kohls or an Old Navy or any clothing/department store then they should also be able to build them in public school showers and locker rooms. Its time to invest in more privacy for everybody, lgbtq or not. Then so much of this shit that right wingers and feminist karens like to bitch about would become non issues and we could all get on with our lives.
The fact that the facebook mom called there son innocent is so goddamn funny. lol.

This story is horrifying...I'm so happy that the high school I went to was very accepting. All of my trans friends were safe and had scores of students supporting them. I wish it could be like that everywhere...
Thats strange it seems he dropped his crown 👑
Also love that Shapiro meme😂😂
I'm Agender (mostly masc presentation) and the character randomizer gave me the Tiddy Trait, so I can relate on a personal level to people getting weird about these sorts of things, even if it just involves the CONCEPT of gender questioning.
Some people really do hear someone mention wanting to change something to do with their gender and go, "What do you mean youre unsatisfied with your meat prison that you didn't choose, and the role we gave you that you didn't want!?"
“The character randomizer gave me the Tiddy trait” you are funnier than I will ever be😭😭
"What do you mean you're unsatisfied with your lack of hereditary wealth? Not everybody can be a Rockefeller." I jest, of course, but life isn't a sandbox game where you get to custom pick every detail of the experience before playing. It's a survival game where you make the best of what you have to work with. It's not fair, it's not pleasant, and the only way that the game ends is with death. You can accept it for what it is or fight against it, but at the end of the day the game is the game. And it's a game that you were never meant to win.
As a band kid, the band moms always have your back
"most likely I was gong to get death threats, which I did". Rough. And surprisingly aware of how that tends to happen. I've heard of them chipping at people's sanity so it's nice that he seemed more nonchalant about it. Could've answered with a repeat of "I've received your suggestion and will gladly kill myself via old age. Thank you for your patience"
Thanks for covering these topics and making these fundraisers. People have shit so rough and I'm glad you're spreading awareness.
I put the flag in my name to see how much hate I'll get. And it's been QUITE A BIT how is it for you?
My secondary school is really accepting for lgbtq+ people, we have an lgbtq+ club, school therapists (that are good) and more I just can’t think of it. My school allows the children to have a say in what they may be changing and such and every now and then they let us do a survey about what we want come to the school and then they obviously read through it and decide between the teachers what they could do. Anyways, some student suggested the lgbtq+ club and the teachers helped to get it to start happening. We have posters around our school suggesting to join a club like that. We have many lgbtq+ people and a really diverse school and ALMOST everyone is extremely accepting of it all. We rarely have occasions of bullying because they’re always dealt with and mostly all reported. Our school tries their best to include everyone and not make anyone feel bad about anything, it’s amazing. But we still have to do homework.
Hubby is a trans man, me and our wifey are very upset with how he has been treated by family and has been let down by society. There is a problem with our society and it shouldn't ever be one in the 1st place. I am glad that the person in this video is willing to put their story out there, and I support him 100%. Society needs not a change, but to be rebuilt from the ground up, due to its inevitable nature to let those down who don't deserve hate in the slightest.
this was a really good interview. i'm 15 and practically everyone i know knows i'm trans. and i live in utah, where almost everyone is mormon. which does not exactly blend well. so this is nice to hear from another trans guy going through the school system
Damn, it feels bad to say “Hey I wasn’t the only trans kid that was treated like shit” because we really shouldn’t have to deal with things like this just for being who we are.
Trans rights are human rights!
Hell yeah band moms for the win! I love my band moms
Teen years are the ABSOLUTE worst. Dependence on family, limited friend groups, S C H O O L. It gets exponentially better once you move out, go to uni etc.
It’s so fucking stupid to me that all of this happened because some 14 year old kid wanted to be himself. I hate it when people make a mountain out of a mole hill…

@@Azeal Awws thanks so much!!
the sad part is, I get death threats cause people just, see me, then dub me as a terrorist.
im a young trans man [im completely pre-everything] and i have the same trouble with changing-i used change in the disabled toilets which feels horrible so i’ve started not doing PE at all. my parents completely support me which i’m so grateful for,, and they make sure my teacher doesn’t kick off at me for not doing it. i’m also still in the girls pe group-i don’t mind as i’m still friends with a lot of girls and i’d much rather there than with the boys who shout slurs at me everyday.
now i’m on birth control to stop my period as holy that’s the worst part for me,, and i’m on the list to get testosterone [although that will be years from now]. it has gotten a little better but i’m hoping when i get my binder and i get surgery and testosterone shots i will be much happier.
Hey, I’m going to the doctor tomorrow to hopefully get on birth control too! I’m really looking forward to it. Wish me luck lol
(Also, is there anything that you wish you’d known before you went on birth control, went to the appointment, etc.?)
Straight male.
I hate how people dislike people who are different. I give mysupport to u
i just started using the staff bathrooms to change for gym until i felt comfortable enough to use the guys bathroom. no one ever said anything to me. but when i wanted to go on the band trip they wanted me to room by myself but i wanted to room with my friend Sam cause no one else was rooming alone, which he was fine with it and so was his parents. it took a bunch of the band parents calling the school and complaining to just be able to room with my friend. the principal was bringing his religious beliefs to school, religion and work should be separate.
If you don’t support trans rights then I don’t support your life rights
