"and when she looked at the mirror again she didn't see herself. I saw myself" right in the feels ahah
I really love how the narrator went from third person of what seemed like someone else, to first person, (himself). It showcases the change of perspective in the character’s life really well in my opinion.
I didn’t notice, but that’s a nice detail!
when he cut his hair i just felt so proud of him. Let's go boyy !! You did it !

It's a girl. Cutting her hair didn't make her a him.

This right here, is the most accurate representation of what dysphoria feels like that I've ever seen. The dress fusing to his body and hurting it, that's exactly what the wrong puberty felt like to me. As a kid putting on girl clothes wasn't too awful, my school uniform dress was something I could remove even though it made it harder to run and play sports with other kids, when I got home it was gone. It was a necessary performance, and one that I thought everyone also struggled to do, it was just part of being a little "girl" to suffer being made to be feminine because that's what I was supposed to be.
I had some freedom from it untill puberty was the dress I couldn't take off anymore and the point where everything changed and i got depressed.
I also wonder if the dog was born without a tail? As the shadows in this seem to show things that are bad/wrong or perhaps even missing, it's like buddy and the man have lived parallel lives.
Yeah, one of my dogs passed away, and both of my cats got adopted.
As a trans man, this was an incredible film. I loved it. My dog too has helped me tremendously and the end actually made me cry. I cant imagine life without my dog. Tbh amazing animation for multiple reasons.
I'm not trans, but as a girl I shed a tear several times understanding all these feelings. The feeling when you grow up and your mother tells you that you will have female breasts, but you don’t want it at all.
I don't know if you mean the feeling of having to grow up as a girl specifically with objectification the girls and women have to deal with everyday and a multitude of other things but if you truly don't want to be a a woman growing up and growing into a woman's body then there might be more to it of course it's different for everyone so I'm not going to tell you that you're definitely trans but I've had those feelings growing up too when I was a little girl it just felt like dress up to me because clothing really didn't mean anything to me although I love to wearing boy clothes a lot more but once I started to get older and my body started to change the worst I felt over the years I stopped being able to take it off like a costume at the end of the day when I was younger I could always take off a skirt but you can't exactly take off breasts at the end of the day and eventually I couldn't ignore it but I wish you luck in life whoever you truly are and whatever road you go down
can you talk more about it? i would like to hear you
@@daliamasari4040 it's something like gender dysphoria, where I feel like my body shouldn't have genitals, but just be flat... like a child's, or a doll's, perhaps? maybe it's non-binary, but I don't know much about this topic, so I can't say for sure...
@@katsumuri it's weird, cause everyone i know likes being a girl and never understood why they are not jealous of boys at all. and here i am, five years later, still have the same thoughts. in your case, do you see yourself as a woman in the future or it makes you completely uncomfortable ?
@katsumuri oh yeah absolutely I understand that 100% for me it was the want to seem or be genderless though
I don't know why this film isn't viral, because it's a work of art
True
i like how the dogs skin disease almost relfects the trans experience to some level
getting medication to treat the pain, when given the meds they were happier and more active
obv not like a comolete mirror, but theres similarities which make their connection even sweeter
This is the best trans short film I have ever seen.
#1 in my heart
True ❤❤💯🔥🔥💥💖💗💓💞
As an AFAB agender person with a lot of trans and genderqueer friends who helped me through my change, I felt like this was the best representation of dysphoria; often when I am misgendered I feel like I'm suffocating in my own skin. Beautiful film, beautiful story.
What's AFAB

As a trans boy who turns 18 this year and leaves home, remembering how when I was little I had my hair in a long braid, I wore dresses, I felt like my dog was my son and he died a year ago. I can confirm that I cried a lot with this short film like no other
im a transboy and this genuinely made me cry☹
Im trans too ❤
I remember during a random class quiz the closeted transguy was at the same question as I was(what's your gender?only choice was male or female) and they started to shake a bit and then tear up, I took his pen and marked male then smiled at him!still don't know why it was a question though
@@Valorie-df7tgawww so cute. I wish you two the best
@@Valorie-df7tg That moment must have been magical for you. They gave me a similar questionnaire at a school and I tried to mark man, but they stopped me and told me that I couldn't lie and it had to be what it said on my ID. Cry in silence and mark feminine
I’ve never seen a more realistic and relatable depiction of gender dysphoria ever.
Fr
Holy shit that was amazing
“And when she looked in the mirror again, she didn’t see herself. I saw myself” fucking amazing
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Also as a trans man, this is the best ftm film i've seen.
"The body is the torture in this world."
How it was thrilling and touching!
I’ve never seen a video that so perfectly shows the feeling and challenges a trans man goes through. This hit so close to home thank you for sharing your story
omg the dog dying in the end made me cry. RIP Buddy
6:22 that moment the dog still loved him but his parents didn't
Loved this film so much. The art style, the message, everything. Very compelling.
Didn't expect to genuinely cry at this. Fcking beautiful.
I love this animation. Such an unusual style. Great treatment of a sensitive topic. Well done!
Hola, soy un chico trans y me llamo Oliver, en el pasado, confundimos a mi gatito con una hembra, y yo comence a cuestionarme apgracias a eso ¿Como podemos estar tan seguros de nuestro genero? Actualmente, soy un chico libre, mi familia me apoya al igual que mis amigos, esta animación me hizo llorar, gracias por hacer más visible nuestra comunidad. 💗
Hello! I'm trans too and I'm also called Oliver!
como fue tu salida del closet? ultimamente m lo ando pensando mucho si hacerlo o no, pero tengo miedo de lo q fuera a pasar
im a transman and my name is oliver too!
Hola, yo también soy un chico trans, aún no me atrevo a contárselo a nadie. Yo comencé a cuestionarme por cortos como este hace 3 años, había elegido el nombre Linus un tiempo antes.
Y me alegra que tu familia te apoye. Ojalá nos vaya bien a todos en esta sección de comentarios :)
R.I.P Buddy😢
And this brought a tear to my eye, as a young Trans Man.
Oh my gosh, this style is PERFECT❤🏳️⚧️
I don't think I could describe it better myself as a trans man i didn't know why i felt so miserable and suicidal so young and why I got so much worse over the years until I was able to finally find myself
Tom looks exactly how I vision myself. This is incredible. Thank you so much!
She didnt she herself in the mirror anymore
I saw myself
That is so true
No entendí mucho por el Inglés pero nunca me he sentido tan identificado con una animación
Descansa en paz Buddy
this made me kinda of cry, its beautiful
Omg i love vidoes with trans man so much respect trans man
Rest in peace buddy and thank u for this animation
I'm not transgender and I'm not a man (probably just a little bit non-binary, I hate stereotypes and sometimes catch dysphoria), but I felt every frame of this movie. especially when they bought him a bra. I literally cringed in discomfort
כיף לראות ייצוג טרנסי בעברית
I relate to this so much…
Wait… so did his parents accept him or not?
Judging by the reaction, I don’t think so.
This video made my heaviest tears fall, he lost the thing he understood most...
This is a beautiful film, I rarely cry but this got to me. Thanks for sharing this story.
This made me tear up so bad
TRANS FILM I HEBREW AAAH :DD
This animation was so beautiful, thank you so much for this animation ❤❤❤
Cried over this. I’m a transboy and this was incredibly sweet and just what I needed to see.
Thank you 💝, I can use this short to come out to my parents, and I no longer feel so pressured to explain how I feel, I'm happy 🙏
Im transman and this is so beautiful🏳️⚧️❤
I told my cat i am trans (dont judge ok?😂😅😅) and he gave me head boops
This made me cry thank you
Im not gonna cry, im not gonna cry, im not gonna cry.
*cries*
if only it could be me,I love watching this type of videos but I would like to be accepted and I am afraid of Tomorrow I just want to run away to a world where it can be me.
Im trans❤
I was sure for about 5 years that I wanted to be a whole man. I wanted to get the surgeries and testosterone, but for a few months now I've been totally helpless. I don't know what I want anymore and I can say that the feeling is still a lot more worse.. :(
I am a trans boy and this is jyst so beautiful. I dont get why people would hate this
Poor buddy rest in piece
tthis hit me right at the heart!!!!
Sweet ❤story it made me cry 😢😢 I am a transman n i can relate to every bit of the story

It's like the dog that is the only accepting one here is his family.
Thank you for making this video!!
i have been questioning my gender for 3 years and i'm pretty sure i'm a trans male(still in the closet)
this short film is amazing and honestly made me cry bc it really reminds me of myself (specially bc i used to wear a braid and dresses) and my dogs that really helped me and still do, i can't imagine my life without them
Transgirl here. I liked it. Also what language is it
Hebrew
@@nauanaitbaiuly1472 thanks.
@@nauanaitbaiuly1472 Who would've guessed😂
as a young transmasc teen, this film is really special to me. even moreso because hebrew is my first language. i'm so happy i stumbled across this
I'm a trans man.... And i just recently lost my cat, my sweet baby boy.... This really hit hard.
That was so beautiful!
Didn’t expect this to be in my native language
this just kept on hitting me like a truck
This perfectly describes the story of now-to-be Super Mario.
Mario and Luigi Andretti, two brothers who wore red and green respectively, are average plumbers in Brooklyn, New York. Every day was all usual. However, one day, they ended up turning left when they usually turned right, causing them to come up upon a strange museum. The admissions were free, and at the heart of the museum, a bunch of Yoshi dinosaurs were being raised. Mario and Luigi found out that some of them are ready for adoption, so they bought a green Yoshi home. The next day, Mario found out that his Yoshi has a hereditary skin disease and must be fed mushrooms in order to survive. The mushrooms turned Yoshi into a ball of energy. The brothers and Yoshi had fun together. They played, ran, did chores, and made memories together. The next day came the infamous client day. Her sink was clogged, so she called the Brooklyn Plumbing company. Mario and Luigi were dispatched, as they were the closest available plumbers to the client's apartment. Instantly, they got to work on the pipes. However, as they fixed the clog, the pipes started bursting open. To make matters worse, the customer had a ferocious dog. At the end, they didn't get the job done, and because of how the dog was hurt from the water, the customer refused to pay them. Finally, the brothers had it enough. They decided to quit their job, as they now think it is so boring. After quitting, they finally were able to experience happiness once again. They felt their arms and legs moving of their own accord. Now unemployed, the Mario Bros. were looking for other jobs, but because they only had high school diplomas, there weren't any job opportunities available. Eventually, they had to sell their house and move into a smaller apartment, living off of emergency funds while trying their best to get discounts on their groceries. However, the mushrooms were helping Yoshi less and less. Eventually, Yoshi died, and both brothers mourned him. Once in bed, Mario woke up. Luigi followed, and then found a mysterious pipe in place of the living room. They walked through the pipe, and after shooting through a warp route, they entered a strange dimension. It was a place full of mushrooms. A creature with a mushroom cap then told the brothers they were in the Mushroom Kingdom, and that he was a part of a species called the Toads. He led the brothers Andretti into the castle on the hill, where they met Princess Peach. They had dinner with King 'Shroom XVIII. However, on this very day, Bowser and his Koopa Troop were storming the Mushroom Kingdom, and they kidnapped the princess! Looks like those ex-plumbers are in for an epic mission!
After they finished defeating Bowser and saved Princess Peach, they were rewarded $200 million worth of gold coins. They warped back to Brooklyn, where they converted their gold into US dollars. They then moved out of the apartment and into an underground mansion and bought the entire plumbing company that they originally were working for, with the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom in the basement of the house, as they are welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom at any time.
Buddy is such a wholesome name for a dog :,0
amazing
It exactly show ny life
Im not even trans but i relate to the bra part when he first had to wear one i remember hating it so much this is beautifuly illustrated and i hope your all grting the help you need
i don't want to accept i'm a man and i don't want anyone to help me
It can be hard but one of the most important thing you can do to help yourself is accept yourself even if others don't
To clarify I assumed that you're a trans guy struggling with self-acceptance if it's not that or some other situation I apologize and I didn't mean to invalidate you if that's the case
Will this go viral? If so then I’m here in under 300 views. Hi!
Same
Now there is 5116

The dog always dies, that's what always gets to me.
*WAHHHHHHHH* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
However, the human now is on a mission to make it to the clouds, fighting demons and monsters along the way... looks like you are in for a Part 2 movie with lots of action!!!
Someone can maybe make a game out of this as well!
I hope that he found happiness.

You got me crying don’t do that shit to me
I feel bad for him, for his life don't have anyone else to understand who's the true he is but only the dog, but at the end his pet was died 'cause of disease. . . I'm not a trans but not was born as he/him but want to be he/him or they/them, just want to share a little

True identity is found in Jesus Christ. Jesus does love you all. Repent and believe in Jesus today ,if he saved me from harming myself and making the biggest mistakes of my life,he can surely save you , and show himself to you too.❤
repent for what? 🧍🏻
So true my Christian and Catholic family love me for who I am as a trans man and even though I'm agnostic I believe if there is a God he probably loves me too how could he not after he created me to be who I am
Also my biggest mistake was hiding who I really am for so long I'm truly so much happier now ❤️
The hell are you saying, it's literally devaluating man😍
Ееееееее Иисус!!!
I think it’s a pretty nice video except I wish you were in English.
Bruh there’s subtitles
why??
*Stands in the darkness watching with nothing but crickets*
This is amazing 🫶🏻
