You are dedicatedly introspective. Your responses to your experiences ring with the tone of true truth telling. I’m not non-binary, yet find you so relatable it’s easy empathizing with the broadness of your perspective. But more than anything else you are absolutely glowing in this video. By the end of which, my face was cast in a perma-grin, and my body felt that much lighter for it. 😊
I've just came out as trans at the ripe old age of 26. I've had bottom dysphoria for as long as I can remember but I've neither felt like a man or woman at any point, which made it hard for me to come out. It's so nice to find somebody who has had a shared experience, and gives me hope I can finally be the real me instead of existing in the shell of a body I don't care for but also not expected to fit any gender roles that come even with transitioning. Next step for me is HRT early next year!
I’m so glad my experience has helped you to stand more confident in yourself and give you a sense of understanding and belonging in the world. Congrats on coming out, and best of luck with HRT and whatever the future holds 💛
Good to hear that you're doing well! 💞 And I can imagine sharing this stuff publically might feel very TMI and strange, but I really appreciate your courage. I might go through this same surgery someday and its very helpful and calming to hear your thoughts and feelings on it!! Take care 💫
Hi Bryn! Great to see that you are doing well! For someone who also has massive problems with decisions, your videos are so immensely helpful. Thank you so much!
Wow, that stuff about having to worry about how your bottom half used to look in clothing and having to sit certain ways really resonated with me. I don't personally have too much dysphoria surrounding that area, but I'm still considering surgery in the future. It's less "I want to be rid of this thing" and more "It's just mildly inconvenient and I'd rather not have it if I could choose". Also really interesting to hear how getting it done allowed you to re-explore your gender, that's kinda what getting on HRT did for me.
That makes total sense. It’s wild how easily I put on clothes now, so much less anxiety. Had no idea I even had anxiety about a bunch of things until the anxiety went away lol. Oh yeah HRT totally did that for me too (I was out as Mtf until I started HRT and then could start feeling more androgynous and connect with ambiguity and androgyny). Re-exploring my gender has been so freeing, I’ll probably make a video about it when I get the chance. Best of luck with getting surgery if you decide that’s what you want! Much love 💛
24:16 You encapsulated a hidden truth that Ive been hesitant to admit out loud, thank your for the insight! Also! Being able to just wear certain tight pants and not have to worry or stress is like my #1 reason for wanting the surgery lol it was great to hear you revel in that experience :)
I’m glad you enjoyed! Honestly having freedom over what I wear is sooooo relieving, I didn’t realize how held back I was until I had surgery. Much love 💛
I am doing very well...mostly... Playing the waiting game and not doing well at it. 10 weeks till top surgery. Expanders and fills and all that. But TEN WEEKS!! it feeling like i am saying 10 years. I also started off the long grind toward bottom. First letter in and getting the second next week. Maybe summer of 2024. And you're still having appartement issues. Wow. Sorry to hear about that. Be safe out there.
That’s so exciting! I hope everything goes well for you! And thank you, the legal system is so slow but I’m confident in the end everything will get situated. But yeah, I’m not enjoying being patient, I can relate to you in that aspect lol
It's maybe a little personnal question, but what kind of work do you do in life? It would be very interesting to make a video about the subject of working world and his relation to transidentity/passing/comingout. Have a nice day/night
I’m a hair stylist, which honestly is a very good fit for me as a trans person, since the beauty industry is all about creative expression. The salon I work at actually went gender neutral recently (as opposed to labeling things as for males or females) and we all have our pronouns on our name tags at our stations 😊 that’s a good idea for a video tho, thank you!! I’ll add that to my list of video topics 😊
First thing I notised was how much you were smilling & how your eyes were kind of showing happyness 🤔😊 At the 24:00 your talk about that weird feeling of not feeling being hit as something that also means that you need to perform as a person. I found this quote that I've copied to my about-me: "I wish there was another sex, a neutral one. One with no parts. One that was outside of the whole reproduction thing. Then people would never even see me as an option. That would be really nice."
What forms of estrogen did/do you take? Is it transdermal forms or injection? Because you have a very good passing and transdermal form is know to be poorly absorbed... (Sorry if you already answered this question in a previous video)
I take estradiol (a pill). 4 mg at night and 2 mg in the morning. I’ve never used the patch or injections before, but I’ve heard injections work the best out of all 3 options. And before surgery I was also on spironolactone (also a pill) to block my testosterone. I was on 100 mg twice a day I think. I will say my features prior to transitioning weren’t very masculine, so I’m able to get away with using the pills instead of injections. And I never wanted a large chest or anything (I heard that injections can help with bigger chests and wider hips, basically just more feminine fat redistribution I think) I wouldn’t mind bigger hips tho, or a bigger butt lol
is my dream to get rid of my bottom part… at the same time i don’t wanna give up my appearence by doing hormonal therapy… it’s very hard, and i don’t even have the choice to do it here in brazil because of the laws. very frustrating, it makes me so unhappy
I’m sorry there are laws against it all. I’ve had a few different people from Brazil reach out/comment and a lot of them have the same frustrations you do. It’s so unfair. Much love 💛
I'm on my 6 months post-op and I'm still doing 3 times a day. I tried 2 times a day and it was so PAINFUL to dilate. It took me 20 to 30mins to get dilator all the way in. 💔😭
I’m so sorry to hear that. Things that helped me were weed, a muscle relaxer, and pain killers (even just ibuprofen). And if you can, dilating longer than you need to. I hope you find something that works for you, I’m really sorry you’re having such a hard time. Much love 💛

Thanks Bryn! I appreciate you pushing through the discomfort to share intimate details. Your videos are very helpful and comforting!
Of course!! Always glad to share/help, even if it’s a little weird 🤣💛
