The fact that people have said those things about you is laughable. You definitely don't try to convince anyone of anything. You have always told both the good and the bad and simply your own story. smh. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I haven't seen the documentary and now I'm thinking I won't. Great video, mate 👍😊
I'm sorry you have people saying stuff like that to you just for wanting to share your journey to those who are seeking information and support. I went through that as well, and I'm not attracted to women, more on the masculine side of attractions (I have people ask me why I'd want to be gay after transition, why not switch to women?" I tell them it doesn't work that way, transition doesn't change who you're attracted to, just matches our outsides to your insides in a manner of speaking.) Never has anyone who is truly genuine about their journey of transition ever tried to push it on someone who wasn't. I hope you had a wonderful walk and your studying helped!
Dan, I haven’t seen the documentary, but can understand everyone’s concern. Surely it must be annoying for only those detransitioning to put their views across. Also, the figure of 1% reversing the process is a very very small number and should be viewed as a success of the help this process is providing those who find their inside doesn’t match their outside. Please Don’t take those that are criticising you to heart. You are sharing your life’s journey and a very valuable resource for those feeling confused about their gender. It needs to be expressed and God bless you for sharing. I grew up in the 1950’s and 60’s and thought I was a freak because I had crushes on my male classmates. Never knew this was natural, and I grew up very confused about my sexuality. If the internet and RUclips were available when I was young it would have been a very valuable information source for me and I wouldn’t have spent most of my life denying my true self. Keep up the good work you are doing Dan, you are very much appreciated.
I think what u were trying to say about the woman who said she didnt know it was possible for a woman to pass as a man etc etc is that being a trans guy u dont feel like a woman trying to pass as man? Did i get that right? Most times i feel like a guy in a female meat suit loll... most my life has been trying to "pass" as a woman because i never feel like a woman on the inside. Is this kinda also what u mean? Thank u for making these videos its just been so so so important for me. Thank u for sharing for helping and for giving me this little space on my phone when i can watch ur handsome face and gentle and firm energy to help me feel not alone and safe. Ur a wonderful man. A beautiful soul. Good luck with the exam!
You're in no way trying to convince anyone of anything, just being honest. Honestly, all of this hate and fear mongering has made accepting I'm transgender that much harder because I already went through so much abuse and bullying in my childhood and youth and I'm finally in a place of safety and security. I'd say to myself, "and now you want to go and ruin that?" 😢 - but it's not a choice to be transgender, and it's not an easy choice to transition too - the way my brain and body has been replaying dysphoric anxiety and moments of possible trans euphoria, from the past and lately, it feels like transitioning is becoming less and less of a choice at all. This hate and ideology hurts all of us who are actually trans and have years and years of evidence of this that had to be buried for so long. And now they're trying to oppress young trans people with such a feirceness. 😠 In spite of the dangers, I'm not going to let this get in the way of living the way I need to, to feel at home in and connected to my body. I'm lucky that I'm in a position to advocate for myself and have someone who will love me even more for being myself, but so many others don't have that and it feels too dangerous to go through transition on their own. Thanks for bringing more attention to this Daan. Keep up the good work ❤
I like the way Jamie talks through the documentary. It was a lot of transphobia, and then Ollie London at the end hahaha. Those kind of videos should not be on TV because it is one sided and keep some facts to themselves. Jamie always makes me feel safe and Im like you, I need to know everything about what these people are saying and why. Those people are mad and angry. And they should get the help they need before they go onto youtube. And just like any medical condition, things sometimes go wrong. Decisions are made that they shouldnt. And the detransitioners shouldnt lie about what happened and scare monger other people out of transitioning. 🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧

Exactly what I meant! Thank you 🙂
I want to get rid of this meat suit as well. That was a very good description!!
