    I am reading the book 'Far from the Tree' right now and I appreciate having videos to illustrate the examples in the book here. I have a request, please make all of the videos subtitled as I am Deaf. I don't understand what she's saying even with RUclips's captioning feature as it is not 100% accurate. Subtitles are better than captioning for Deaf people because subtitles contain more content to represent the audio information in video. Thank you.

    I really like Kim. I just enjoyed her movie "Prodigal Sons" (very good!), and it seems like she's a super nice person. Here's wishing the very best for her and her family!

    I watched Kim's story and I can tell that what she was saying is true. I wondered why I felt always out of place all my life. Why was there something that kept me from being truly happy. Why was the fact I felt I was being drawn to a place that was right from an episode the Jerry Springer Show. But I knew I was not Gay. Why then did I want to have breasts? Why did I feel I was drawn to woman's clothes? I wore a beard or mustache as much as I could. I did not want to be a Transsexual. I came out.

    There are many of us out there many of us people cant tell so you have seen lots of transsexuals both female to male and male to female. Here in Montreal there are 6 to 8 SRS surgeries each week now do the math of how many other surgeons around the world. I am one of the ones you would walk by in the street and never notice. As she said there is a part of the transition where you are having to forget the maleness. She has spoken my and many transfolk life story.

    Mr Tubelwatched there are genetic women with non female voices, Their body type look extremely male. Some have male mannerism and they are married and have kids. Doesn't matter if your trans or genetic it how you feel on the inside that counts. look outside of the box and stop trying to zero in and pick her apart because she is a transwoman. And I hate say trans.. (lets dont get stuck with that stigma)..let just look at her as another woman.

    Coming out for me was the best thing I ever did. I felt a load of guilt, shame, embarrasment, and self loathing go away from my life. Before I came out in a meditation I hear a child crying. I wondered where this child was hiding. I went looking for that child. I found a little girl about 3 years old crying in the dark. When she said I am you I was shocked but I knew she was right. I knew where she went hiding. But I held her and I knew I was a Transsexual. I did not want to admit it but I did.

    When I came to accept myself at last, it was like a sudden understanding and a click within that I had to stop lying and forcing myself to live a lie, I had to stop pretending to be male regardless of society's demands because of what I was born with between my legs.
    In a sense it was an epiphany.
    Now I'm pushing hard to finally be approved for hormones and surgery and hopefully be able to realign my body to be as female as physically and medically possible. It's a long road though.

    I think you're missing the point. Being able to pass doesn't make her any more valid than someone who can't. It just makes her life easier when she walks down the street.

    Oh, Good Lord. My name is Kimberly Reed. I'm not transgender! I don't think it's appropriate to announce one's sexual orientation on RUclips.

    I don't think you've seen a lot of transsexuals if most of them looked like Pete Burns! I Trust me ;) maybe you wanted to say the contrary xx
