This one popped up in the suggested for me. I remember hearing about Chaz. I was really happy for him. I think I had been in transition for a bit when he came out. Everyone has their own timeline. Can't wait to get to have lower surgery and join the post-op crowd with you bro. Hope all is well!
Im 28 going on 29 im just now questioning my gender. I never knew what trans was. In high school i learned about gay bi and straight. Someone had said transexual was a man dressing up as a woman. Never really had much info. But i want to thank you for the video it definetly helps me
I'm 30 and just came out. My psychiatrist who I'd been seeing since I was 18 just looked at me and said "well I'm not at all surprised." And he's forwarding me to the gender clinic. It's really great having a doctor who saw this in me before I was willing to acknowledge it in myself.
At the end you said something along the lines of "what if you take testosterone and your like whoa whoa this isn't right"....was that a fear/worry you had yourself before you transitioned? Like were you worried that you may not like/want the changes T would have done to you, before you started? i just wonder if it's possible to feel like you may be trans but actually kinda be scared or not sure about taking T and be scared about the changes to your body and loosing apart of yourself that you've had for so many years. i mean there are obviously some various aspects to the body, that the majority of trans individuals would want to change....but is it normal to not want all the changes and be worried about how different it will make you look? Just want an opinion of weather fear of change is normal even if you feel you may want the change...if that makes sene. sorry for the long comment, couldn't quite word what i was trying to say!
Hey! Yea totally possible. I actually had top surgery first because I was unsure of the changes on T but then as soon as I started and saw changes I was like holy shit why did I wait so long for this lol I was unsure I would like more body hair or etc but as soon as it all started happening ( which it is actually a lot more gradual than you would think ) I was excited about it. I think I just had this idea in my head that changes happened really fast but they happen at a slower pace which helped me because I am not super great with change. So yes, fear is totally normal. :)
ah okay, yeah i guess it's maybe the fear of the 'unknown' and not knowing exactly how the changes are going to come about, how much or how fast. but when it starts the fear goes because it goes from being in your head, to a reality! Thanks for replying, been questioning my gender for probably way long now, lol just so up and down and back and forth and unsure of so many things...an anxious person as it is, so for me it's hard to figure out if my fears are because i don't want certain changes to my body or because i can't imagine them because I'm so anxious and scared of the idea of so much change...anyways! Thanks for responding, cody!
No Problem! Yes that totally makes sense. I am an anxious person too and I was more afraid of the unkown so the anxiety disappeared when I finally started T and saw the changes that were happening. I went back and forth with starting T for awhile because of not knowing, but so so glad I did and now know it was the right choice :)
Cody_talks yeah for sure....guess it just comes down to taking a leep of faith and seeing what happens! You'll never know if you just live in fear cus you don't step out and take that chance! Nice talking to you :)
Been watching your vlogs for ages, and decided to start at the beginning last night. Ithink you have mostly looked like a boy. Especially as a young kid.
+Darrien Ty J. Definitely took me a couple months I would say. The more people around me used it the more comfortable I felt with it :) Sometimes when I am really nervous and in a situation where I am introducing myself I still almost say my birth name haha.
You I believe ,some of these other kids I’m not buying it they sound very phony trying to be confusing I don’t know who’s agenda they’re promoting it could b anyone’s including their own.

Dude, I can relate to much to the feeling of "not wanting to be THAT guy"... took me a bit to realize the only guy I was going to "turn into" was me
+Something Wright Totally! Weird how your brain forgets you are not going to morph into someone else lol

Aw that is sweet! Congrats on coming out! You have a good doc :)
After 6 years my transition, i still go to therapy, it always help..
Most definitely! I feel like everyone can benefit from therapy!
Hola! Fue bueno que tuvieras apoyo en tu trabajo. No en todos los países es así. Por ejemplo, en Perú, aún hay mucha discriminación.
That's me. I don't have anyone to talk with about stuff and transition. I just make do as best I can.
Same dude. It can be hard not having anyone to talk to about it. But ey, you're never alone.
thanks for sharing! I love your videos--always give me ideas for mine if I'd ever get to them.
+Love is Vulnerability Thanks! haha Would love to see another video from you!
