I’m almost 70 and this spoke directly to me. I’m trans too, but didn’t come out until age 66 - retirement age here in the states. I am MTF. I went through all of the things that Zoe went through when I was a teenager (if in the opposite direction) including the suicide attempt. The difference for me was that my father was dangerously violent. I kept my trans-ness deeply locked inside me, to the point that I often doubted myself. It led to a depression that didn’t begin to lift until I came out. It affected my studies and my work life, turning me into a hermit. Like Zoe, I had one good friend to whom I told as much as I told myself. We remain married, despite my changes. Congratulations on a wonderful film.
I am 60 and came out to my wife of 40 years about 6 weeks ago. I have been hiding this thing since I was 5. I have been a hermit all my life don't know how to even be around people I am so screwed up on so many fronts I can't even tell you but this film hit home I am still cringing as I write this and don't know why? If I can give some advice to someone watching this film and in the closet, COME OUT ASAP don't wait till you are 60 I have wasted my whole life because I am a coward. Things are way better now than back in the old days there are really good people out there that will support you not all people are closed-minded bigots.
I am 54 and MTF. I lost my wife of 19 years in 2020, and, had she lived, I would probably never have come out. I know in my heart she would not have understood. I deeply miss my wife, and wish she hadn't passed, but at least now I can be free to pursue feelings I have had since being a child. I know there are many haters out there, but they will never understand the deep anguish of looking at your body and seeing only something wrong. Congrats Georgette, and though we are strangers, I am right there with you in spirit as we begin our journey towards being who we were meant to be.
@@01harvey you are not a coward. You just didn’t have the support everyone person needs and deserve. To be accepted no matter who they are. I accept you. And I’m so happy you’ve been able to start showing the world. It’s never too late and you’re proving that for all of us. Thank you.
Very realistic and this is coming from a parent if you a shi parent you don’t know your kids if do know your kids you know their friends cause my parents knew all my friends till this very day they still ask about them
Being told what your feeling isn't real, that's it's a faze, has kill about over millions of people. Either be sexuality, mentally, or other. We are not confused, broken, we are not to be ignored.
I cannot feel a trans males pain as i was born Male. But something i can say is to any trans mascs out there, there may be bad people that hate trans people but don’t listen to them as you are loved and you are real men ❤️
Watching this, I realized how fxcked up everything is actually. Im a trans male and I am out to almost everyone. My friends all support me and call me by my preferred name. My parents keep telling me its a phase. I have literal depression and other mental issues at the age of 13. I cant deal with everything. Its so hard
Your parents are shit if they don’t respect you by saying it’s just a phase, Soldier you’ll get through this. Your friends are good people, stick with them.
I'm sorry, friend. I hope things will get better for you. I'm a trans male also and I've been having a hard time for a while now, but I believe if we push through all the bad we'll eventually end up somewhere where we feel happy and comfortable. I wish you happiness, and I'm rooting for you.
i cant come out to my family so ill do it here: hi. my name is syd and i am a trans guy. if you are reading this, i hope you have a lovely day and remember to take care of yourself kiddo!
It is not a mental illness. It is not a choice. It is not a sin. It is not going to hurt other. It is change. It is growth. It is love for themself. It is comfort.
To my trans babies out there you need to hear this You are loved You are not a mistake You are perfect You belong You are valued You are exactly who you are meant to be Remember to drink plenty of water and keep your head held high. I know you might be hurting but please practice safe binding. Stay safe and live long prideful lives. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. And no matter where you are remember you have a whole community that has your back.
My friend is an ftm trans guy and I'm watching these to try to educate myself more and be a good friend 😊 Edit: He's now my boyfriend and he's the best thing that ever happened to me🖤
lmao true. my parents say "husband/boyfriend" and i'm always like "significant other/partner/spouse" BUT MY PARENTS ARE DUMB AND CANT PICK UP ON IT... sorry for yelling, it just annoys me
@@MiG23ML there is a license, i believe. & im sure it’ll say who’s the wife & the other wife or the husband & the other husband. if same sex marriage was approved in june 2015 in america for all 50 states i’m sure there’s a license for it to be a legitimate marriage. i’m not 100% sure tho but i do think that.
4:50 that scene just hit hard for me. Seeing transphobia and homophobia breaks my heart. And the mom trying comfort Zach but instead making things worse. This was a very small interaction between me and my mom, and it seems like nothing, but it was something to me. One time my mom called me pretty, and I was feeling more masculine. She meant it as a compliment, but it felt like an insult.
I’m trans however I was fortunate enough to transition very early in life 6-7, and most people I knew recognized me as a girl, and I feel terrible, for everyone who has to go through this, hiding it and I feel terrible for everyone who did have to go through this.
WoW! That’s amazing that you transitioned so early :) this is actually super inspirational for me (it’s nice to hear the happy stories as well sometimes 😅)
@@rihannaimvu8834 by transition they didnt mean surgery or stuff like that they meant like social transitioning (i just woke up so idk if i said thwt right)
as a transman, it was the hardest for me to come out. my parents still call me by my deadname and use she/her, but im hoping to eventually step up and tell them my name and preferred pronouns. itll be hard, but ill still try. to anyone here thats trans, remember that millions of people support you!! you arent alone /gen
The second I saw his mom holding a dress at the beginning, my heart broke Edit: Woah that's a lot of likes :OOOOOO Glad to see that so many people agree!
My heart broke because I knew that following it would be a 'oh no I don't think I am a girl and I don't like wearing dresses because I'm a boy and I am just going to ignore the fact that I have a female body and a female brain and a female EVERYTHING.' But you know, I guess she likes t-shirts and shorts so it's okay for her to think she's the complete opposite gender.
@@mcjesus1582 This comment confuses me. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not??? First of all, their pronouns are he, not she. And he is a male whether or not you think he is. You don't get a say :). Don't watch this if you're just gonna bash on it. We don't have space for haters here
@@cassidyzaremba5034 Okay first of all, there is a lot wrong with that. So, you are forcefully taking away my freedom of speech by telling me I HAVE to call her by what she wants to be called? I can call her whatever the hell I want, because it's a free country and I don't have to abide by something I don't believe in. You can't tell me what to do and expect me to follow that. I'm not being sarcastic; I'm just stating facts. And if you are going to be offended by free speech; go for it. Just don't force me to give it up.
The mum had to say “So not pretty” 😬😬. I remember calling my child pretty when they were 7. They said i don’t want to be called pretty was really upset, i don’t want to be pretty. I asked would you like me to say handsome? They said no. So I said how about cool!!! They said Yeah Cool with a huge smile on their face. ❤❤❤ My child is 21 now .
It also might have just how it felt to him, like even two or three items that were too feminine may just make everything feel like too much. Like my mom bought me a skirt once and every item clothing I put on after that just made me feel too feminine. It just becomes really overwhelming.
A guy in my class gave a speech on his coming out as transgender. He had a clock he used to hide stuff in the back of like cigarettes and razor blades when he was 13. There was more to the speech but at the end, he through it in the trash and said he didn’t need it anymore because he can finally be his true self. It was one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard and the whole class was crying. Thank you to Isaac for being brave enough to tell it.
@@iamgonnagocryagain1401 Oh sweetheart... Lead your authentic life. I'm 72 and have had enough life lessons to know that wearing a mask and hiding who you truly are is draining. Emotionally, physically and spiritually.. You do you. YOU BE YOU. There is a whole world out there for you to discover. If not now.. When... Grandmotherly love to you... You'll know when it is time.
As a trans closet male who's female name is Zoe, this is so fucking relatable to me. I'm really scared of coming out of the closet because my mom is transphobic, at least my dad isn't and supports but my mom is the true problem, she is really abusive towards me and I don't really want to fight with her anymore. This short film really touched me in all the ways possible. Thanks a lot this felt nice to see also kinda painful but really amazing work. ♥🏳⚧
I can't believe nobody's replied to this. Hang in there, you sound like such a great guy and you deserve better than how you're being treated at the moment. Sending love and plenty of rainbows 🌈
Hey, 5 months later, how are you doing? As another closeted masc, it would interfere me a lot with what kind of place you are right now. Hope you are doing well.
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REACT LIKE TALIA DID. EVERYONE NEEDS A TALIA. BRO WHEN I CAME OUT THE FIRST THING MY MOM SAID WAS: “I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LESBIAN” Now we haven’t been on speaking terms for a month oof. Edit: OMG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKES I FEEL LOVED
Honestly this video is amazing I’m transgender and my best friend in the entire world Abbye is so much like taliya he helped me so much and. I feel like every one needs that
I have a younger sister named Talia and she, even though I keep correcting her, still calls me by my dead name, saying, "Your name isn't Ari, and you're a girl." I have a Talia, just not an accepting one.
I myself am not out, but have made it *very* clear to my parents that i do *not* feel comfortable in dresses, skirts, ect. They'll ocasinally ask me if i'll wear one, but i'll have made it a year without wearing dresses/skirts on next friday (the 13th). Doesn't sound like anything important, but its a big step for me, i was taught that saying no to my parents was rude, but once i gathered up the strength i needed to say no, theyve been way better about respecting my boundaries.
"i'm trans" "i thought you were a werewolf" is the equivalent of "i'm lesbian" "i thought you were american" and i would pay good money to see it in a movie.
When a good friend of mine came out as trans to me 25 years ago, my first reaction was: " OMG and I thought, you would bring bad news!" She was shocked (positively) about how not surprised I was...
😂 Well same ._. My mom show me a fricckin pinkie dress and said "this will fit you" I said : ew no Typically me would decline things 🗿 But then my mom get rage
It broke my heart to see 'girly' things at his party. This must make trans people feel so uncomfortable and I'm so sad that they have to go through that.
It really does hurt every time I get a gift that’s heavily inspired by me being AFAB. It’s funny how some people really think we’re pretending to be something we’re not by transitioning when it’s the exact opposite. It’s exhausting, literally masking to pretend to be my AGAB.
@@mollie1732 Hey! I'm actually Non-Binary too and I have quite a gender neutral name 😊 So maybe go with something more gender neutral? Like Alex or Sam or something along those lines maybe? Hope this helps! 😊❤️⚲
I'm 17, and came out at 12 as FTM trans, and I've never felt happier as who I am. Sure, love is difficult to find, but over the years, my parents have realized that this is who I am and they stand by my side when it comes to my identity. I'm getting my name legally changed by summer's end, and I will be taking T next year. I've never felt happier. If you feel that this is who you are, hold your head up high and be proud to be you. Don't let anyone pull you down.
A beautiful film that needs to be seen. As an educator and an ally, I plan to use this to educate my students on how to support families of trans youth. Thank you.
oh my god I can feel the dysphoria through the screen. It really sucks being closeted and everyone is just trying to make you feel good but it makes you feel worse. A few days ago I was crying and my mom started telling me about how I'll grow up to be an amazing woman and I'll get to make a family of my own. just made me feel worse.
I've felt exactly like that before. I was trying to discuss the possibility of me being transgender or even non-binary with my parents, but they responded with "But you're Miranda." The thing is...I don't identify with that name.
Although it may not seem like it, staying in the closet is way worse than coming out and being yourself. I came out to my dad and mom when I was 12 or 13, and didn't start my transition till I was 14, living as that gender even though I was out was the worst thing in the world. But now I've been living as who I really am for two years. It's gonna be hard at first but you will get there.
@@conster-8201 I can't really come out though for my own safety. My brother is homo/transphobic and well I can deal with the homophobic remarks he says such terrible things about trans people that I know it's just going to get worse if he knows. I'm trying to work up the courage to tell my parents but I don't think I'm going to fully come out until my brothers view of trans people change or he moves out.
It’s really nice to feel seen, as a transmasc person I felt the pain this guy felt on a *spiritual* level-the super gendered birthday, the “birthday girl” on the cake, the depression-it sucks so much, but to any other of my trans friends out there, you aren’t alone. You will find your people, and just be yourself, whoever that person may be. You are loved, and there is a whole community for you. Don’t give up.
I had a rush of tears to my eyes at the moment Zach told his best friend he's trans. I am a trans woman but still found so much of this relatable. This is one of the best trans related films I have ever seen.
I watch these videos and they really resonate with me, but I’m scared to come out. Mine names Elliot but I haven’t told a lot of people that yet cause I’m in a strict conservative catholic school and my parents and family are super religious. These videos really give me hope
It can be hard, especially in a very religious environment. If you have a mental health counselor, talk to that person first. He or she may have advise for you, or be able to guide you to someone who can help (and it's all patient/doctor privilege). Your priest may also be a person to help, but that's hard for an outsider to determine as that depends heavily on the priest and your relation with him (some would be very accepting, others condemn you to the deepest hell for eternity for just "having those thoughts". But at least it'd be under the privilege of confession and therefore (or should be) your and his secret. But be careful with that, some priests may decide you need "to be cured of your evil thoughts" and consider that being supportive.
@@cherries5705 And after trans boy came out you still refer to him with female pronouns. Plus no one wants to go through depression. And the life of the child will depend on the life of the child so it is partially the mothers fault. If you want to make a valid argument, you should try watching how you put words. Good day.
This helped me so much, when I saw this for the first time I was going through a lot of strange feelings and emotions, and I had no idea who I was or who I wanted to be. Now, I’m out, proud, and ready for the next chapter in my life. To my fellow trans kids who don’t think they can make it: trust me, you can. I never thought I would see my 18th birthday, it just never felt like a possibility. But I did. I’m 18, I’m in the middle of my senior year of high school, I got into the college I wanted, I’m in the military, and my dreams are becoming reality. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve just got to get there. And I’ll be cheering you on here on the Internet.
as a trans 14 year old boy, this hit hard home. i used to have a friend like Talia who helped me find my true identity (she's not in my life anymore). right now i'm trying to calm down from a mental breakdown
I am so glad to find many positive short films of late. I also find it interesting that others have come from Australia and New Zealand. I am glad to see such positive support. For me personally, trans-female, seem to be non-binary/Demi-female. Do have dysphoria with regards to my body being AMAB, and somewhat identify as female. Please continue to produce these films. They one and others have made me realize I must accept myself, still the idea of transitioning scares the hell out of me for many reasons.
New Zealand is a very LGBTQIA+ positive society. Same sex marriage was legalised in New Zealand in 2013. Sex work was decriminalised in 2003, and the age of consent is 16. We, as citizens, and our government, understand that we're all different, and can make up our own minds when it comes to sexuality, gender etc. There's a lot of mini films, plays etc, in New Zealand, like the one you watched on this channel. (Yes, this vid is an Aussie one). For us, it's just a normal way life.
This was a beautiful story about the importance of listening to and looking out for your family and friends. The mother was so busy rushing around and she never paid enough attention to her child. You could see that she loved her son but she didn't listen enough. The friend was the opposite. They noticed all the signs and warnings of someone who was struggling. They also knew exactly how to lift their friends spirit
I am sorry that I am 21 years old and people would still be smoking at the stake for being different. Through all this faith, people become more ruthless and non-human than with her: (((
NEVER let your parents religious belief get you down. They're misguided anyways. Most of the Bible Verses Christians like to use against us are actually misinterpreted. By the way I am a Minister for a worldwide Christian Church and I am Trans.
This movie is amazing, I felt his pain so much, I just wanted to hug him and tell him "everything is fine, it will be okay" he is so cute and I was really glad he came to terms with himself in the end. Regardless the actors is amazing. congratulations to you for making these films, really, I adore you, you are amazing.
When the mom started telling them that their problems weren’t real because they were a teenager it was too real. I understand that problems I have now might not matter when I’m an adult. But that doesn’t make them any less prevalent in my life in the present. I don’t think parents understand that. When they say things like that it sends you into a spiral of doubt. You don’t know what’s you’re feeling or if it’s even real anymore. You feel like you don’t matter. They really don’t get how much their words can affect us
As an "actual adult", I can assure you the problems you are facing now matter. They shape who you are! Yeah, when I was 16 (sigh, that was so long ago) I was worried about much different things, but the stress was still there, and very very real. It's not any less important than what you go through as an adult. I always hated when adults would tell me it just gets worse (for me it has actually gotten much, much better) or that my problems were trivial compared to "real life." Like, yes, I am actually in a simulation that you somehow occupy alongside me except your part is real life. That makes complete sense. 🙄
@@lilith9725 You're welcome! 🙂 I don't want anyone to get hurt by binding unsafely. I learned my lesson the hard way. I used an ace bandage (for a few months in 6th grade) to bind even though I knew it was dangerous. I thought that if I was careful, I wouldn't get hurt. However, things ended badly. My rib cage (lower left side) got bent inwards, but luckily they didn't break. I stopped binding with an ace bandage after that. I'm now in 12th grade and my lower left rib cage is still bent inwards. In 2 weeks I'm going to order a binder from gc2b, so I can bind safely.

You got the roles mixed up, the mom was looking for the word and the dad didn't repeat hipster after smiling and pointing. However, the mom/mum says hipster afterwards so maybe you were referring to that idk I'mma end this comment now
yooo I’m questioning, but I think I’m genderfluid, *and my chosen name is Amiko but I like people calling me Miko.* I like how you spelled it though, ‘Myko’ even if it’s not pronounced the same as Miko lol, I can’t tell. I’ve never told anyone at all about ‘Miko’ or such, because I’m still questioning and such, but you know, we’ll see. Also, I love the name Miko or Myko, however I had to keep mine starting with A for certain reasons that’ll take a bit of explaining lol Congrats brother 🏳️⚧️
My story: I used to be, a few years ago, unfamiliar with transgender issues. I've still got alot to learn but I want to be a good transgender ally, and watching films like this really educate me! Also, I came out as pansexual two years ago! So it helps me learn a bit more about myself too! Great work!
bro im commenting on this vid as im watching and wtaf was that moms advice sounds like she knew exactly what was happening to her child and she was invalidating her feelings i think that’s rly shitty and it makes me wanna punch shit- like wtf how was that her place MAKWJBDJAJAJRBAHDBR
Even though I’m not trans, I truly, greatly appreciate you making this short film, and being realistic and thoughtful. Trans people don’t get enough love. That needs to change. ♥️
@@ArAsDeCos you are very lucky buy may I ask a question please? It’s ok if you don’t want to answer but I wanted to ask how long does it take to change your name legally and I’m kinda scared my parents will get mad heh also what did u change it to? Mine will be changed to Raymond
As someone who just came out, I felt a great connection to this film. I love it and it is relatable, especially the dress and the birthday. I used to be forced by my grandma to wear dresses for my birthday, so I really feel a connection.
I tried asking my dad about how I felt like I wasn't feeling the gender binary, and he told me that my feelings may not be valid- and whilst its true- it still hurt alot. So least to say, I wanted to punch her so bad when she said that to Zach.
She essentially tried to say that the perspective and relevance of problems is changing and that the problems of today might not be the problems of tomorrow. Out of most problems you grow and be more confident with yourself in the future. They really tried their best to be good parents but their kid doesn't even communicate with them about its issues. Instead, let's commit suicide. That will teach them.

4:50 that scene just hit hard for me. Seeing transphobia and homophobia breaks my heart. And the mom trying comfort Zach but instead making things worse. This was a very small interaction between me and my mom, and it seems like nothing, but it was something to me. One time my mom called me pretty, and I was feeling more masculine. She meant it as a compliment, but it felt like an insult.
Bruh when the cake read "birthday girl" I legit got second hand dysphoria
Me too, it was really uncomfortable..

It was the dress for me. It reminded me of how my mom asked me to dress better (meaning dress like a girl) when I was younger.

I’m trans however I was fortunate enough to transition very early in life 6-7, and most people I knew recognized me as a girl, and I feel terrible, for everyone who has to go through this, hiding it and I feel terrible for everyone who did have to go through this.

My heart broke because I knew that following it would be a 'oh no I don't think I am a girl and I don't like wearing dresses because I'm a boy and I am just going to ignore the fact that I have a female body and a female brain and a female EVERYTHING.' But you know, I guess she likes t-shirts and shorts so it's okay for her to think she's the complete opposite gender.

@@cassidyzaremba5034 Okay first of all, there is a lot wrong with that. So, you are forcefully taking away my freedom of speech by telling me I HAVE to call her by what she wants to be called? I can call her whatever the hell I want, because it's a free country and I don't have to abide by something I don't believe in. You can't tell me what to do and expect me to follow that. I'm not being sarcastic; I'm just stating facts. And if you are going to be offended by free speech; go for it. Just don't force me to give it up.
The mum had to say “So not pretty” 😬😬. I remember calling my child pretty when they were 7. They said i don’t want to be called pretty was really upset, i don’t want to be pretty. I asked would you like me to say handsome? They said no. So I said how about cool!!! They said Yeah Cool with a huge smile on their face. ❤❤❤ My child is 21 now .
As a 32 year old, mtf, yet to physically transition even though I've known my entire life, it made me cry
That was the most gendered birthday party I've seen in my life
That means you obviously didn't see my 6th grade birthday party .
I am a transgender guy btw ( FTM)
It also might have just how it felt to him, like even two or three items that were too feminine may just make everything feel like too much. Like my mom bought me a skirt once and every item clothing I put on after that just made me feel too feminine. It just becomes really overwhelming.

A guy in my class gave a speech on his coming out as transgender. He had a clock he used to hide stuff in the back of like cigarettes and razor blades when he was 13. There was more to the speech but at the end, he through it in the trash and said he didn’t need it anymore because he can finally be his true self. It was one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard and the whole class was crying. Thank you to Isaac for being brave enough to tell it.

"i thought you were a werewolf" thats the best coming out reaction ever more people need to react like that honestly
As a trans closet male who's female name is Zoe, this is so fucking relatable to me. I'm really scared of coming out of the closet because my mom is transphobic, at least my dad isn't and supports but my mom is the true problem, she is really abusive towards me and I don't really want to fight with her anymore. This short film really touched me in all the ways possible. Thanks a lot this felt nice to see also kinda painful but really amazing work. ♥🏳⚧
I can't believe nobody's replied to this. Hang in there, you sound like such a great guy and you deserve better than how you're being treated at the moment. Sending love and plenty of rainbows 🌈
Hey, 5 months later, how are you doing? As another closeted masc, it would interfere me a lot with what kind of place you are right now. Hope you are doing well.

I myself am not out, but have made it *very* clear to my parents that i do *not* feel comfortable in dresses, skirts, ect. They'll ocasinally ask me if i'll wear one, but i'll have made it a year without wearing dresses/skirts on next friday (the 13th). Doesn't sound like anything important, but its a big step for me, i was taught that saying no to my parents was rude, but once i gathered up the strength i needed to say no, theyve been way better about respecting my boundaries.

It really does hurt every time I get a gift that’s heavily inspired by me being AFAB. It’s funny how some people really think we’re pretending to be something we’re not by transitioning when it’s the exact opposite. It’s exhausting, literally masking to pretend to be my AGAB.

I'm 17, and came out at 12 as FTM trans, and I've never felt happier as who I am. Sure, love is difficult to find, but over the years, my parents have realized that this is who I am and they stand by my side when it comes to my identity. I'm getting my name legally changed by summer's end, and I will be taking T next year. I've never felt happier. If you feel that this is who you are, hold your head up high and be proud to be you. Don't let anyone pull you down.
Congrats. ❤
A beautiful film that needs to be seen. As an educator and an ally, I plan to use this to educate my students on how to support families of trans youth. Thank you.
oh my god I can feel the dysphoria through the screen. It really sucks being closeted and everyone is just trying to make you feel good but it makes you feel worse. A few days ago I was crying and my mom started telling me about how I'll grow up to be an amazing woman and I'll get to make a family of my own. just made me feel worse.
I've felt exactly like that before. I was trying to discuss the possibility of me being transgender or even non-binary with my parents, but they responded with "But you're Miranda." The thing is...I don't identify with that name.
@skyhigh315 good luck! Also, if it helps, try to find a friend who will stand by you while you're talking to your mom. I wish you all the best!
@skyhigh315 I feel you. I need to come out but I'm to scared of the uncertainty.
Although it may not seem like it, staying in the closet is way worse than coming out and being yourself. I came out to my dad and mom when I was 12 or 13, and didn't start my transition till I was 14, living as that gender even though I was out was the worst thing in the world. But now I've been living as who I really am for two years. It's gonna be hard at first but you will get there.
@@conster-8201 I can't really come out though for my own safety. My brother is homo/transphobic and well I can deal with the homophobic remarks he says such terrible things about trans people that I know it's just going to get worse if he knows.

You will find your people, and just be yourself, whoever that person may be. You are loved, and there is a whole community for you. Don’t give up.

It can be hard, especially in a very religious environment.
If you have a mental health counselor, talk to that person first.
He or she may have advise for you, or be able to guide you to someone who can help (and it's all patient/doctor privilege).
Your priest may also be a person to help, but that's hard for an outsider to determine as that depends heavily on the priest and your relation with him (some would be very accepting, others condemn you to the deepest hell for eternity for just "having those thoughts". But at least it'd be under the privilege of confession and therefore (or should be) your and his secret.
But be careful with that, some priests may decide you need "to be cured of your evil thoughts" and consider that being supportive.
Yikes living in a religious family is hard.

I am so glad to find many positive short films of late. I also find it interesting that others have come from Australia and New Zealand. I am glad to see such positive support. For me personally, trans-female, seem to be non-binary/Demi-female. Do have dysphoria with regards to my body being AMAB, and somewhat identify as female.
Please continue to produce these films. They one and others have made me realize I must accept myself, still the idea of transitioning scares the hell out of me for many reasons.
New Zealand is a very LGBTQIA+ positive society. Same sex marriage was legalised in New Zealand in 2013. Sex work was decriminalised in 2003, and the age of consent is 16. We, as citizens, and our government, understand that we're all different, and can make up our own minds when it comes to sexuality, gender etc. There's a lot of mini films, plays etc, in New Zealand, like the one you watched on this channel. (Yes, this vid is an Aussie one). For us, it's just a normal way life.
This was a beautiful story about the importance of listening to and looking out for your family and friends. The mother was so busy rushing around and she never paid enough attention to her child. You could see that she loved her son but she didn't listen enough. The friend was the opposite. They noticed all the signs and warnings of someone who was struggling. They also knew exactly how to lift their friends spirit
Me, trans: Mum, I'm-
My parents: Have you heard about that girl who thinks she's a boy? She's going to hell.
Me: m h m...

I literally started to cry because I'm FTM too and I wish my family was supportive
When the mom started telling them that their problems weren’t real because they were a teenager it was too real.
I understand that problems I have now might not matter when I’m an adult. But that doesn’t make them any less prevalent in my life in the present. I don’t think parents understand that. When they say things like that it sends you into a spiral of doubt. You don’t know what’s you’re feeling or if it’s even real anymore. You feel like you don’t matter. They really don’t get how much their words can affect us
HA 100th like was meeee
yeah that's how it is always going to be. and i did that too to my lil sister as i realized what i just did but i apologized and we talked about it.
As an "actual adult", I can assure you the problems you are facing now matter. They shape who you are! Yeah, when I was 16 (sigh, that was so long ago) I was worried about much different things, but the stress was still there, and very very real. It's not any less important than what you go through as an adult. I always hated when adults would tell me it just gets worse (for me it has actually gotten much, much better) or that my problems were trivial compared to "real life." Like, yes, I am actually in a simulation that you somehow occupy alongside me except your part is real life. That makes complete sense. 🙄

Are you binding safely?
@@blaketheythem Oh thank you so much for being concerned, yes.
@@lilith9725 You're welcome! 🙂 I don't want anyone to get hurt by binding unsafely. I learned my lesson the hard way. I used an ace bandage (for a few months in 6th grade) to bind even though I knew it was dangerous. I thought that if I was careful, I wouldn't get hurt. However, things ended badly. My rib cage (lower left side) got bent inwards, but luckily they didn't break. I stopped binding with an ace bandage after that. I'm now in 12th grade and my lower left rib cage is still bent inwards. In 2 weeks I'm going to order a binder from gc2b, so I can bind safely.

yooo I’m questioning, but I think I’m genderfluid, *and my chosen name is Amiko but I like people calling me Miko.* I like how you spelled it though, ‘Myko’ even if it’s not pronounced the same as Miko lol, I can’t tell. I’ve never told anyone at all about ‘Miko’ or such, because I’m still questioning and such, but you know, we’ll see. Also, I love the name Miko or Myko, however I had to keep mine starting with A for certain reasons that’ll take a bit of explaining lol
Congrats brother 🏳️⚧️
My story: I used to be, a few years ago, unfamiliar with transgender issues. I've still got alot to learn but I want to be a good transgender ally, and watching films like this really educate me! Also, I came out as pansexual two years ago! So it helps me learn a bit more about myself too! Great work!
the fact that their child is *17* and they still get paper and gifts and things for like 7 year old girls is kinda nasty to me
👀yeah... 'unraps present'
Especially that "Girls only" book🤢🤢🤢 I understand for a 7 year old but not for a 17 year old
Like the book "Girls only" what the fVck is that? A book for a 8 years old girl?
bro im commenting on this vid as im watching and wtaf was that moms advice sounds like she knew exactly what was happening to her child and she was invalidating her feelings i think that’s rly shitty and it makes me wanna punch shit- like wtf how was that her place MAKWJBDJAJAJRBAHDBR
Your pfp I cannnttt lmao
“I thought you were a girl!”
*Well yes but actually no.*
Me
XxBlairxX the gender-fluid girl same, xd I’m agender and genderfluid
Loving your profile pic
I guess it’s a yes since it’s “were” xD
Love that pfp.
“What your feeling rn isn’t real” wow Karen good pep talk😐
Even though I’m not trans, I truly, greatly appreciate you making this short film, and being realistic and thoughtful. Trans people don’t get enough love. That needs to change. ♥️
“all of your problems aren’t real, it’s all just teenage nonsense ☺️”
wow thanks mom 😃
Wow stress less why didn't I think of that thanks 😋
wow thanks parents i will definitely take care of you when i grow up
she's literally named Karen lol
_Wow! I go and sleep and BAM! All my problems gone!_
“You shouldn’t be stressed”
Well consider this: I am
Well consider this: the mom actually makes me stressed
I cant wait till I’m 18 to legally change my name to my boy name which I love using instead of my current name
It's one of the best feelings. I changed mine about a year ago now. It will feel a little odd for a while, but once you settle in, it's euphoric.
@@ArAsDeCos you are very lucky buy may I ask a question please?
It’s ok if you don’t want to answer but I wanted to ask how long does it take to change your name legally and I’m kinda scared my parents will get mad heh also what did u change it to? Mine will be changed to Raymond
As someone who just came out, I felt a great connection to this film. I love it and it is relatable, especially the dress and the birthday. I used to be forced by my grandma to wear dresses for my birthday, so I really feel a connection.
The mom just straight up said to him that his problems and feelings aren't real and that hits so close to home for me lmao
I tried asking my dad about how I felt like I wasn't feeling the gender binary, and he told me that my feelings may not be valid- and whilst its true- it still hurt alot. So least to say, I wanted to punch her so bad when she said that to Zach.
oh hi kronos

:(
She essentially tried to say that the perspective and relevance of problems is changing and that the problems of today might not be the problems of tomorrow. Out of most problems you grow and be more confident with yourself in the future. They really tried their best to be good parents but their kid doesn't even communicate with them about its issues. Instead, let's commit suicide. That will teach them.
