    I found it fascinating that the entire beginning where Killian was explaining his upbringing, he never once talked about his own struggles or personal feelings, unless prompted to. I never see people so selfless on the internet anymore. Sending so much love to you, Killian.

    Killian seems such a selfless and kind person. He is loving to his mom and stepdads, even his own father who put him through trauma with the suicide attempts.
    He sounds intelligent and he doesn't blame his transition on trauma from his childhood, he knew what he wanted.
    I hope he has a happy life.
    You look great! Thank you for sharing Killian!
    Great interview Mark!

      sorry but what does your comment "it's rare to see someone... who doesn't blame everyone else for everything" mean? So many of these people are sexually abused, indoctrinated into terrible groups, peer pressured or raised in environments with high drug use. are you referring to them when you said that?

Not only did you get outta Dodge and get yourself an education, you are indeed living your truth in the life you deserve. I’m just so happy for and proud of you 🥹 I have a sneaking suspicion that this is only the beginning of your remarkable journey. I wish for you the very best this world has to offer.

He seems to be a very mature and driven man with good character and priorities. I commend him for his understanding and acceptance of his family members and the situation from which he came. I also commend him for getting himself out to a place more accepting and comfortable for him to live his truth. He is an inspiration. I hope others like him see this and are inspired to follow his lead. Thank you Mark for sharing him, as well as his experience and wisdom with us.

    this video and comments really taught me a lot. here you have a kind, gentle man. full beard, wearing a flannel and jeans, from eastern kentucky. this is essentially the poster child for exactly how conservatives say they want transgender people to exist. it would be so easy to accept Killian and continue pushing hate towards the rest of the community. but even Killian, someone who has done nothing "wrong" and simply wants to tell his story, isnt enough. nothing will ever be enough for a group who hates indiscriminately. genuinely, this is really meaningful and eye-opening to learn.
    why not live life to the fullest and be exactly who you want to be when conservatives will hate you any chance they get? why even try to conform to what these nazis want you to be when you will never be enough for them? i wish the best for Killian and hope he continues to live true to himself. i know for me, im going to be true to myself too. i am done worrying about what other people think of me. hate me all you want, youre the one who is going to die with regrets. not me.

      honestly I think that's why a lot of us come off as "weird" compared to Killian. because once you realize you will never fit in the box well enough... why hide anything? I think everybody has things they wish they could wear but don't feel like they can pull off, guilty pleasures they don't admit to, ect. and... I gave up on hiding all of that too not too long after reaching exhaustion on hiding who I am to those I love. but I didn't get out as young as he did.

    Killian, I think it is SO cool you were one of the first people on the board when gay marriage was legalized, it's weird to say that because I don't believe it should have ever been illegal. Your story is so heartfelt and I think it's so precious how much you care for your family. There is something to be said about a person who knows in their mind and soul that something about their personhood doesn't feel right from a very young age before they even experiences any trauma. Your accent is lovely and I understand why people want to be private or are shy.

      Because trans men are/were women, I think people tend to make fun of men way more than women in general when it comes to nonconforming gender tendencies in general, even if you take the trans aspect out of the equation, i.e. a feminine man is going to get ridiculed significantly more than a masculine female. I'm not even anti-trans, I just think that's the psychology at play here, because you're DEFINITELY not wrong.

    I've lived here in Southeast Ky my entire life and tbh most families are to busy just trying to survive week to week to worry about someone else's color or sexual preference or what they want to be identified as. It means nothing to the vast majority of us. Just live your life and if you are happy then we are happy for you. If you need help with something don't shy away from asking us because we are glad to be of service to someone whose struggling because we know that feeling. There are people that are set in their ways and ain't willing to change their opinions of something that they truly don't understand because if something is being talked about in a national spotlight and is only shown in a negative manner, no one is going to be willing to dive deeper into it to try and understand it.

      @thegoodgreekgirl2190 i don’t disagree with you, but honestly, being gay, straight, transgender, etc., has little to do with being a good or nice person. your lifestyle/rearing/personal relationships etc. does have to do with it, but really, there are very great and absolutely horrible gay people, great and horrible transgender people, and great and horrible straight people everywhere.

    Killian, You are a very handsome, intelligent and loving young man. As for not many men being short statured, there are many men of Italian and Hispanic descent who tend to be on the short side. I know because many of the men on the maternal side of my family are 5'5 or shorter. Please don't think that your short stature makes you any less masculine. The thing that impressed me most however was the way you understood that transitioning would be harder for your mom's generation and adjusted your expectations accordingly. I see so many young LGBTQIA people who have literally ruined relationships with parents and grandparents because they have a harder time getting used to using transsensitive language. They get labeled as transphobic which is in your accurate. It's simply is that this was not a possibility and their generation and it takes them longer to wrap their heads around new gender identities. Finally I found you incredibly gracious and admired the way you acknowledged the opportunities that you were granted in order to be able to go to college. May you live long and prosper!
