More than your voice drop, what strikes me the most is the steady rise of your self-confidence. Of course it has something to do with having more experience filming yourself, but I bet it has a lot to do with feeling more comfortable in your body. Very cool to see it.
@Bonidee Lee and your opinion matters because...? Like you wouldn't even know if you saw Jamie on the street that he's trans so like... what y'all gunna do?
@Bonidee Lee okay you've made an assumption here that I'm not sure where it's come from... Why do you assume I am sexually aroused by them? Can we not support people because it's the right thing to do rather than because we desire sex from them? Secondly, people make many decisions that increase their cancer risk but I don't see you attacking them. Do you eat (red) meat? Because that significantly increases your chance of (rectal) cancer, and the fix is very easy - eat a vegan or vegetarian diet. Are you/others "a dumb ass" for continuing to eat meat when scientific studies have shown it significantly increases your chance of cancer? Thirdly, the risk of cancer in this case is not large, and the solution is one that Jamie may be likely to take anyway (i.e. a hysterectomy). The risk of cancer is not a valid reason to disavow their free will choice. Many things in this world lead to cancer, and this is not one that will have significantly increased their chance beyond what say, living in a city will do, especially with the precautions that are taken. Fourthly, I find it interesting that you call this a path of "drug[s] and body mutilations"... What about this makes it a drug, and what about Jamie making their body feel better to them is different from other "mutilations" like piercings, tattoos, plastic surgery etc.? Or do you disapprove of all of those too? Fifthly, I still haven't figured out why your opinion matters....
@Bonidee Lee Good medicine is something that helps people and stops people from wanting to kill themselves or from falling into depression. The "cure" of ignoring trans people, of forcing them to live in a way they don't want to live, has been tried and you know what the result is? Dead people. So yes, I support medicine that helps people live. And based on medical professionals I've spoken to, they not only believe the same, but believe people like you are ignorant for actively causing harm and ignoring what's right in front of you, and once again, I have no reason to value your opinion more than the medical professionals' who have spent years studying and training to help people. So you'll excuse me if I ask, once again, why I should consider your opinion at all. I have to wonder what world you've stumbled into where you think you can read someone's mind. I can assure you, I do not support trans people because "I am caught up in how cute they look" - I support trans people because I am an empathetic person, and I am able to believe, if not feel, the suffering of other people. Just like how I don't support minority ethnicities in their struggles against oppression because "I think they're cute" but because there is a problem, and I empathise with their desire to solve, or at least talk about, that problem. For you to say that anyone, ANYONE, supports others simply because of sexual or aesthetic attraction makes me deeply question how you live your life. To say that there is no such marker of a "true" or "false" trans person... Yes there is. It's called them telling us. There aren't many situations where we ignore what someone (continually) tells us their thoughts and feelings are. Why start at trans people? Regarding the "growing out of it": I believe that number is slightly inflated from what I've heard, but regardless, even assuming it's true and that there is no statistical manipulation, that would be exactly why we don't allow gender-questioning/transgender kids to transition as kids. People are allowed to feel things out and question the status quo but eventually return to it. But when it comes up on several years that you've been feeling a certain way and nothing has changed, there comes a point where you have to accept that their feelings are valid because guess what, they've already TRIED living as one sex. Trans folk don't just wake up from a coma; they spend years, decades, living as people want and expect them to, and there comes a day when they realise that it doesn't work - they are unhappy and perhaps dangerously so.
You're an inspiration, Jamie. Your voice is great, you've no doubt been a huge inspiration to many young trans guys in a similar situation to yourself and I'm sure I'm not the only trans girl who loves your vids. Your confidence and personality really shines through your videos now, it's obvious that you've 'found yourself'. Just wanted to drop some love in :D
Tommorow is my first doctor appointment to see if I'll be able to take T. I'm super nervous since I'm doing it by myself but even if everything goes to shit you can't imagine how much you've helped me through this. Thank you.
Amazing journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm not trans and I find it so interesting, and every time I finish watching one of your videos I just end up with a big smile on my face. Proud of you, Jamie, your happiness is contagious 💜
This was so awesome to watch. Aside from the noticeable changes with your voice, the biggest change is your level of happiness. You now shine! So pleased for you
So cool. I have not followed you for long, so never saw you pre-transition. And it looks like you are your little sister in the clips. And it is cool that after 3 months it already started to change. Well, congrats on 6.5 years. Edited for offence :)
i know this comment was loving and well-meaning, so i feel like you may like to know that some of the words and phrasing you used (ex, "as a girl") could be taken as hurtful. again, i know it wasn't your intention, so please don't take this as an attack. it's important that we all keep learning and growing in our interactions with others, and i hope this helps you. all love, have a good day.
Not only has your voice changed but your confidence! I'm new to your channel but seeing you from your pre-T video to now, you seem so happy in yourself and that's made me happy!
My best friend is starting T tomorrow after a 3+ year wait and I honestly cried watching this, I'm so excited for him and I'm so glad you're able to express yourself externally the way you are internally too :))))))))
This was super interesting to watch. I always thought it was impressive that you sound male, -- as an audiobook listener, women always seem to have a harder time doing male voices than men voicing female characters -- but it's so cool to hear the transition. Thank you for that.
This made me sooo happy!! You’ve come such a long way, it’s so amazing to see how happy and comfortable you are in your skin now. Thank you for sharing this
I know that, judging by my life so far, this is probably a phase, but I think I'm trans. My mum isn't transphobic, but I still feel like I can't come out because I've had phases of things before (weaboo, goth, lesbian, therian, etc.) and I can't come out to my dad because he's sceptical about everything I do (especially lgbt+ stuff). I've told my brother but I accidentally talked like it wasn't serious, and convinced him it was just a phase. You were the first trans youtuber I found, and you have given me so much more hope for the future, both in your transition videos and your vlogs, which have shown me that maybe life isn't as rubbish as I thought it was. Thank you Jamie xx.
@@spaceprince2670 I still feel the same. I came out to my mum, and she keeps doing the whole "I support u but UR NOT A FRIKKIN TRANSGENDER STOP IT!!!1!" thing. I'm doubting myself more than ever now because of this, despite the bad feelings about my body and my place in society still being very prominent.
@@Arthur-yf9yv That doesn't sound nice... I guess the only thing we can do is wait and find out. Eventually it'll be less confusing (I hope). I wish you good luck and I hope you'll have an amazing future, regardless of what will result from this whole gender thing.
Young Jamie's voice cracking = oh my heart ❤ so proud of you and glad to hear you almost forgot about your testosteroniversary. I take that as a good sign, one that you've been busy living your life and are much happier than young Jamie. You deserve to be happy. For the record, this stranger from across the pond thinks you're awesome in general.
I subscribed about a week ago, and I am just completely in love with both you and Shaaba. You are incredibly informative and so much fun to watch. Keep being you, because you are amazing!
As a blind who pays particular attention to voices, I find this particularly fascinating. It amazes me that technology makes this possible and I really love it!
Literally cryed on that last comparison. Could relate to the pre everything vidio. Congrates appears your conference has grown my love xx would love a short video on how u went about choosing your name or a colab with Alex bartley as I think you'd make grate friends xxx wish u the best xxx
Hi Jamie, i just wanted to say that you're such an inspiration to me and you gave me the courage to come out to my family. Congrats on 6.5 years on T!!
I officially got put on the waiting list for my first T appointment yesterday. Its 2 months away! Which is actually very short considering how long my best friend was on the waiting list but also feels like a life time
Holy cow. The changes are well, profound. Look look like you are 100% male. I hope you are well. You look well, confident and happy. May All continue well with you 😊
Love this video! Always nice to see someone before t and be able to see that changes do take place. You are one of my favorite trans info youtubers cus you almost always stay positive and fun!
I'm about to start seeing a psy type Dr that deals with trans things. The Dr is trans to f2m and that is my issue. A younger friend hooked me up. Take care. Great video.
I love your videos and you have been a massive help to me continue doing what your doing. Im not out to family yet as they run a church and have very strong oppinions and belifes but in public to people to do not know me or in school not to teachers tho i am out and the one comment i get constantally is people telling me im to short to be a guy. Yes i am only 5,3 im short so what that dosent mean im not a guy i do wish i was taller tho. (I also aulready have thin hair and i dont want to go bald :( !!!!!!! )
So do you continuously take T or do you eventually stop ps the differences in tone and appearance was awesome and really inspiring. i would love it if you could make a video on if you would have difficulty passing if your face is really feminine or if T helps
Hey, i see that you used to have stretched ears and i have 2 questions about them: 1 which size did you stretch them to? 2 do you now have normal earring size holes/ how did you get them back to normal?
im only just over a year on T and now when i see pictures of me that are pre T, I dont even recognise myself. it feels like im looking at a younger sister that i dont have...?
Did your voice lower any longer after three years? It’s hard to tell with your cold/ I’m in a loud spot too, but I’ve been on T for three years and my voice feels way too high.
More than your voice drop, what strikes me the most is the steady rise of your self-confidence. Of course it has something to do with having more experience filming yourself, but I bet it has a lot to do with feeling more comfortable in your body. Very cool to see it.
Is it just me or does young Jamie have a constant worried expression? Either was really proud of how much more confident he's become.

It’s amazing to see the difference in voice and also the difference in confidence in your videos over time, I hope some day I can finally start.
LA Zack starting youtube videos or testosterone? :)

Your confidence and personality really shines through your videos now, it's obvious that you've 'found yourself'. Just wanted to drop some love in :D
The biggest thing I notice is that you look more and more light, happy and confident. You are the best ❤️
You are so damn handsome 😌
I have one major issue with t- is i might start looking like my father and im scared af about that
Look in the mirror and say "Hi Scared af, I'm Dad". Its when you start making Dad jokes at yourself you need to get *really* scared.
An atrocious Bean meeee af
JewelKnightJess if that was it i just think id hate myself if i saw my dad in the mirror every day
youre your own person! youre not your dad. youll be fine 💕
Tommorow is my first doctor appointment to see if I'll be able to take T. I'm super nervous since I'm doing it by myself but even if everything goes to shit you can't imagine how much you've helped me through this. Thank you.
good luck! i'm rooting for you!
Thank you so much!
good luck man :)
Good luck bro :)))
Tell us how it goes, I hope for the best for you
You have come so far. Congratulations. Xxx
When it got to 8 months I started to hear your current voice in it
Amazing journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm not trans and I find it so interesting, and every time I finish watching one of your videos I just end up with a big smile on my face. Proud of you, Jamie, your happiness is contagious 💜

Darci Johnson thanks for the info. How else should I phrase it ?
of course :) saying something like "pre-transition" would work well
thanks, changed it :)
Not only has your voice changed but your confidence! I'm new to your channel but seeing you from your pre-T video to now, you seem so happy in yourself and that's made me happy!
This video made me smile so hard. I loved watching you transform into you, Jamie.
My best friend is starting T tomorrow after a 3+ year wait and I honestly cried watching this, I'm so excited for him and I'm so glad you're able to express yourself externally the way you are internally too :))))))))
Lmao, loved the voice cracks. 😂😂
I have no words to describe how much I want to get at this point. Jamie you are such an inspiration.
I can't wait to be at this point!
Flo Satine Xavier thanks girl! Hope your enjoying your Wednesday too!
Lucas Salter same! Hopefully looking at starting t this october!
Evan Zeis fingers crossed for you dude!
CONGRATS! dude honestly gives me hope
Seeing the difference in you pre T to now is just incredible. I look forward to being able to make one of these when i get on T eventually!
This was super interesting to watch. I always thought it was impressive that you sound male, -- as an audiobook listener, women always seem to have a harder time doing male voices than men voicing female characters -- but it's so cool to hear the transition. Thank you for that.
I'm crying!!! You and Shaaba are such an inspiration to me I can't even describe how much I love you and how you have made me a better person!!
I’m just so happy to see videos like this ❤️😊 happy 6.5 Years!
This made me sooo happy!! You’ve come such a long way, it’s so amazing to see how happy and comfortable you are in your skin now. Thank you for sharing this
This almost made me cry haha-- you look so young pre-transition!! like your little brother or something. I'm so proud of you for making it this far!
That change is soo freaking awesome!
I know that, judging by my life so far, this is probably a phase, but I think I'm trans.

Ugh you're one of the sweetest guys I've seen. I'm so happy for you and I'm hoping I'll be able to relate someday
Jammie, you seem so much happier in you skin I think the change has been good for you. Like the hair and I'm happy for you!

When you got to about 4 months I was like, oh there he is! You are who you’re supposed to be!
Jamie, I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! I’m so incredibly happy for you. Awesome video :D
Each clip was more and more Jamie and getting closer to how you sound now you could hear the progression
Such a good idea to make this video! It's amazing to see and hear the changes
I’m loving the new hair Jamie! I’ve only been following you since this year so it’s so interesting to hear you pre-testosterone.
Hi Jamie, i just wanted to say that you're such an inspiration to me and you gave me the courage to come out to my family. Congrats on 6.5 years on T!!
I know this isn't related to the video, but I really dig the blond hair
Not trans or anything like that but I love your videos and seeing how far you've come, your journey really is inspiring ❤
It was really interesting to hear the change at 8 months. It was the first clip that I thought sounded like you now.
Congratulations Jamie! I’ve been watching you for so long now I’m so happy for you. Almost 7 years on T?? Amazing! :D
You look and sounds so much happier and more confident now.
I officially got put on the waiting list for my first T appointment yesterday. Its 2 months away! Which is actually very short considering how long my best friend was on the waiting list but also feels like a life time

Aweee foetus Jamie! Love watching how you and your voice changed! Reminds me of my own voice changes
Thanks to you, I am who I am today. And I am beyond grateful for that.
Yes! it's been so long, you've come such a long way, cliche, cliche, cliche back!
The drop from 1 year to 1.5 years gives me life. Wow.
i feel kinda jealous knowing that i'll probably never get on t
I love this video! It's extremely inspiring to the trans community. Nice hair, by the way :D Cheers!
This video makes me so happy for you!
omg im so proud of you
I love your videos and you have been a massive help to me continue doing what your doing.

Pre everything and this makes me so happy to watch
Your openness is awesome
EEEEE I love your channel so much you are so positive and sweet !
Half years matters too. Of course they do !!! 🙏🏼
Omg I still remember your video on buzzfeed
this was really cool and encouraging to see
So do you continuously take T or do you eventually stop ps the differences in tone and appearance was awesome and really inspiring. i would love it if you could make a video on if you would have difficulty passing if your face is really feminine or if T helps
Like legit same haircut I have plus the bleached part😂
Loove your hair, and you have come so far!
Your confidence seemed to skyrocket
Voice breaking soooo cuuuute!
Omg u started t on my birthday haha!
BABY BOY I AM SO PROUD!!!
It is so amazing what these hormones can do to your body..Finally you can be comfortable...you look like a very handsome chap👍
You're awesome! Keep rocking!
i am very proud of you boi
Hey, i see that you used to have stretched ears and i have 2 questions about them:
1 which size did you stretch them to?
2 do you now have normal earring size holes/ how did you get them back to normal?
This is my 3rd month on T
My voice is cracking like CRAZY lol, I'm lucky if I get a single sentence out without a voice crack lmaooooo
Omg you’re so cute
Fucking amazing! Thanks for sharing:-)
im only just over a year on T and now when i see pictures of me that are pre T, I dont even recognise myself. it feels like im looking at a younger sister that i dont have...?
Did your voice lower any longer after three years? It’s hard to tell with your cold/ I’m in a loud spot too, but I’ve been on T for three years and my voice feels way too high.
AAAAAAA I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! ❤❤❤
Happy 6 1/2 yr voice drop anniversary 🎉🎉
Omg this is puberty. Wow!
Awwwwwww, I'm gonna cry. Oh god I'm crying. 😄😆😭
At 2 months there was a very noticeable drop. And at the three to four months.
I'm so proud of you❤❤
congratulations!!
Well hello misterrrrrr!
Someone.. - gosh who am I talking about, no idea - had a real glow-up and let me tell you, surprise surprise, it's you :)
Aw, smol Jamie
Hiya Jamie will you be at stic?
