Because that is EXACTLY what I said, isn't it? I mean, everything that wears makeup and acrylic nails is female. All of those gay men in the world who express themselves that way, we better let them know they aren't men after all, right? See? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it? I don't wear makeup every day, but it doesn't mean I'm not trans on those days. See, it's illogical. You've chosen to take offense.

Did you just said "EVERYTHING that wears make up and acrylic nails is female"? Come on, I'm sure you meant feminine not female and that's the big confusion. A male or a gay man can be feminine but will never be a female. His a male. A feminine man. Back in time male used to wear make up, wigs, tight, ballerina shoes, high hills and so on. Originally in Japan, for example Geisha were male now they train women to become Geisha. Even now in some culture man still wear long dress, skirt, or "girly color" but they are still male and their society has no problem with them wearing "feminine things". The conception of femininity and masculinity changes with time and culture. I personally think that the problem with transitioning is that it's hard to convince other people that we don't believe that we are, what they think we are as gender. Transitioning is just longing for external approval. Because if our society was ok with male being more feminine that masculine then nobody will transition in my point of view :)

Like no offence to him, but as a woman he looks hella fake and plastic. Doesn't look very "motherly" either. It's more like a wish fulfillment to be a woman and growing into that (whatever that means to him), instead of actually growing into a mother, which is what being a woman is all about, biologically. It would have been much better if he just sorted his head out to become as male as he was on the outside and feeling comfortable with that on the inside. Cos it's not like now he became a female, ready to be a mother. There's lots of men who don't feel comfortable as men, especially during teenage years when they first become men. Teenage years are hard for everybody. Obviously for him it was harder than for most because he felt uncomfortable even when he was like 6 years old. But whoever told him it's impossible to change your brain, is just as much a liar as someone who says it's impossible to change your body. Neurology says that the brain is very plastic, meaning able to change a lot. The problem is, he never knew how to make it change

And by the way, this is his most popular video with over a million views. The rest of his videos are like 10k views each. They have no chance to reach that many views. The reason for that is because he put up an extremely "hot" picture of himself as a man on the video thumbnail. And that was him looking real as a man. Now he just looks plastic. And if you think it doesn't matter what his view count is, think again. His problem was that he couldn't find anyone for himself as a woman. But obviously as a man he had no problems finding people. Like, CLEARLY he wouldn't have any problems. And also he said as a man he wasn't gay (he just felt female - whatever that meant to him). So clearly he wouldn't have had problems with having children

He always has to blame external forces, so he never has to be responsible for his own wellbeing. He is so self absorbed, that he doesn't care how his male-presence effects girls and women when he occupies our spaces. He doesn't care that he is exposing us to his cross dressing fetish, and making us unwilling participants in his kink. He is definitely an extremely bad person, and he deserves all the bad in his life.

I did hair for many years ( I'm 51) and I had a client, one of my favorite clients. She came in every few weeks because she was very picky about her hair and liked it to look fresh all the time. This gave us a lot of time to get to know each other. I did her hair for about 9 years. I noticed that she hadn't been in for a while, so I gave her a call to make sure she was ok. She made an appt and when she came in she looked completely different. She told me her story... she was now going by a different name and wearing male clothing. I honestly didn't freak out at all. She was born with both genitalia and her parents had raised her as female. She didn't feel like a female so decided to transition to male. We chatted for about an hour. He gave me a hug and told me that it was to hard for him to see the people that had been in his life anymore. He said he loved me and he was sorry but he wouldn't be back in. I seriously cried over it. I told him he was always welcome back or could just stop by to say hello. I said I understood why he didn't want to come back in, but honestly I didn't. I still think of him. I think I started watching transgender videos to maybe help me understand a little better. I can see now why some people would need to separate themselves from their old lives.

i wasnt born with both male and female reproductive organs but im intersex too and was raised as male for the first 8 years of my life until my parents decided me transitioning was better than me committing suicide.... flash forward to when i hit puberty (i wasnt on any hormone therapy mind you) i grew small breasts, my voice never dropped, i didnt gain any muscle etc. like a typical male would... so a specialist recommended genetic testing and i found out i have "xx/xy" chromosome ....there are many varying forms of intersex that dont include any obvious signs... for instance some women have AIS (androgen insensitivity syndrome) which renders them insensitive to their androgens (testosterone) and even though they have male chromosomes they never develop a penis in the womb and are born seemingly female.... they have testes instead of ovaries and bone structure that isnt typically male or female (think supermodel, long limbs, slim hips, broad shoulders, large brow bones and high cheekbones etc.) they dont get a period either but general practitioners arent trained to know why theyre like that they usually just claim its from a hormones imbalance and that theyre barren.... most of the time they go thei entire lives unaware that they have male genetics unless they go to a specialist and have genetic testing or a sonogram to discover they have testes in place of ovaries and no uterus.... sometimes when people have an urge to transition its not just for shallow reasons (not saying anyone here said or thought that it was, ijs) sometimes its an innate thing on a biological level .... there are a ton of people who are some varying form of intersex that doesnt involve having both male and female sexual organs so they go undiagnosed.... and a lot of trans people (not all) discover theyre some form of intersex upon getting genetic testing...... especially ones who exhibit gender dysphoria at a young age for no obvious reasons

Lots of detransitioners get hate from the trans demands activists & the trans medical industry. Also transitioning shouldn't be treated lightly by saying, "You can always detransition." Girls whose voices have changed have to live with sounding like a man. Getting your healthy breast cut off can't be undone. People taking puberty blockers have a shortened lifespan. There are CONSEQUENCES to transitioning that most teens don't even consider, much less younger children, which is why only adults should transition. It does permanent damage to the body. You can't just go back to how you were if you've actually started with the chemical and/or surgical transition.

Yes, because transitioning in the first place is the normal and natural thing to do

This chap used a word at about 14:40 "impulsive". This hit the nail on the head. Transition....de-transition....then transition. Please talk to someone professional because there is something intrinsically troubling going on inside that you should address. Everyone feels lost at times in the journey of self discovery. And I can tell you .....you will always struggle with this until you face the deeper issue. On a lighter note, there was a line in the tv sitcom Third Rock from the sun.....where Dick says "I just want to be me but I don't know who that is".

You're absolutely right and I've since been working on these issues you're addressing. I'm in a totally different place now. This was September of last year when I realized I needed to transition again. I've been working with my therapist since July of last year. I'm in a really wonderful place now. Thank you for your concern, and I completely agree with all of what you said.

Paula Oyedele My thoughts exactly. Hugs for this beautiful young man. There are deep childhood wounds that need healing. All humans deserve peace and happiness but I fear transitioning again won't bring him the peace he is seeking. That impulsive nature is something that is calling for inner reflection.

I simply cannot understand how breasts and longer hair “make the woman.” Being male or female is not about the exterior things like nail polish, bows and makeup!! Please look deeply into your being and move beyond vanity. Being a woman is about nurturing others, giving life and guiding those lives you create. It’s about living your feminine attributes while grabbing ahold of “masculine” skills like building things, painting, gardening, mowing a lawn. You can be Nathan AND Natalie!! Your journey needs to be about integrating the masculine and feminine aspects of your core person - NOT about ephemeral attributes like breasts, makeup and tutus.

Mujer Latina it’s not about superficial things like make up, clothing and nail polish it’s about what they feel inside. And it’s based in neuro biology. Very much born that way. Their brains have a lot more in common with the opposite sex which is why they become trans men and women. They feel disgust about their genitalia. They are a man or a woman trapped in the wrong body and they try to correct that to the best of their ability. What you’re writing I agree with and that down to their core is what a trans woman is too. They just have to blend in. Otherwise they get a really hard time getting jobs, holding onto jobs, getting an education, being denied living and so on. Society creates an incredible pressure around them to pass. Cos if they don’t they’ll be seen as an abomination or a perversion which they aren’t. They’re also on a scale from masculine to feminine. They way they act and dress as the rest of us. Not all trans women dress hyper feminine and not all trans men dress hyper masculine.

Question: apart from thinking about your gender, what have you been doing with your life? Education? Work ? Hobbies? Apart from being a member of the Church, I teach, I sing, I draw, I write...and as a person with Asperger’s, I’m not 100% feminine but neither am I transgender. It’s ok not to identify 100% with a gender, but you were born with one, and after that, you should move on. Many people have parts of both, but as others say here, what a waste of money and what a risk you’re putting yourself through. Set goals!

I think a lot of transgender people have an identity problem, and that identity is in the soul not the body. People think they are their body. You are not your body, nobody is. Who you are is not what you do, what you look like, etc. Fulfillment & Happiness does not come from material things, more more more, or "if only this thing were different"... Get your soul straight, it has nothing to do with your body. I'm sorry you are going through a tough time and I hope you are able to find peace and contentment with who you are.

I'm a regular straight woman who happened to stumble upon your video. I don't know anything about the transgender world but I love everyone. I just wanted to say one thing. Your kindness, your beautiful soul and your beautiful manners, are so rare and so astounding to me. Not only are you elegant and eloquent in your video (I watched the whole thing and took away a new understanding of what many people in the LGBT world must go through every day) but what I REALLY cannot get over, is how beautififully you respond to other comments. So often on KZread, people make silly ignorant and hurtful comments, unintentionally. Yet you respond to each comment with such beautiful and educational words, loving and accepting, never sarcastic never patronizing; always just gently reaffirming your point, with a kind and sweet word for everyone! You're quite an amazing person. I have never seen such class in one so young, ever, in my life, and I'm probably old enough to be your mom. I have a theory about this. Of course, your beautiful nature is yours that you were obviously born with, but I have a feeling that your Mormon upbringing has something to do with your sublime manners. I'm a Jewish girl myself, and years ago I shared a house in Boston with four Mormon girls from SLC, all grad students. They too had really amazing manners and were just so classy to everyone. That's SUPER rare, especially in such a college town, where class isn't the first descriptor that comes to mind. You definitely have got those girls beat in the class department and that's saying a lot! I see your beauty is deep in your soul, but its gotta have something to do with Mormons being really super nice people, although a little extreme religiously, if I may say so! Sorry for rambling I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you. You are a role model for your entire generation - everyone, no matter who the heck they identify as! In awe. Best of luck in your journey may you be happy & healthy always; only you can know your own happiness no one else can know it for you! So go get it!

I’m really sorry you had to go through all that you have in life, and your story has the power to help another young man or woman going through what you have. Know, that God has a plan for you, plan to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future. If you ask him, he will direct you to the best version of you. You are loved! There is a real enemy out there who wants to steal and kill every good thing you have to offer the world. He wants to drag you through the dirt of emotional and physical turmoil and leave you stranded in the dust. But your bravery in speaking your story has opened the door of freedom. Freedom to be who you were made to be. I’ll be covering you in prayer, much love, you’re an amazing person!

Thank you for your kind response! God is good to all of us this is true! The thing is you cannot ask God to bless sin...to say "May God bless you" when he is openly living in sin amd rebelling against the natural law of God is like saying you agree and you want God who hates this to bless him anyway. This man is in desperate need of God ...he needs to seek God humbly for freedom from the wages of sin which is eternal hell Romans 3:23 For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Because we have sinned we are all going to die one day that is the wage for sin death but Jesus Christ gave himself a ransom for our sins and by faith in the death burial and resurrection of God Jesus Christ we can be saved from the Eternal punishment of hell once we are saved God says that the holy Spirit of God indwells us and that Holy Spirit is a light it opens our eyes it causes us to see our sinful nature and the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth IF we allow God to work in us and through us. This man was brought up among so much confusion it is no wonder to me that he is in the predicament he is now and I feel awful for him but that does not negate the fact that what he is doing is a sin and I am not going to ask God to bless that or him what he's openly doing what he's doing and sharing it with the rest of the world little children can see this video and watch it and think that there's nothing wrong with what he's doing when in all reality it is evil and wicked I don't say that because I'm hateful I say it because it's the truth this is what God says God is the creator of heaven and God created us not man I don't fear what man will do to me I fear what God will do with someone who is not saved and in reality it is that person's choice to go to hell because God gives us free will to choose him by simply Believing on his Son Jesus so my prayer is that this man will realize his sinful nature not just that he has rebelled against the natural law of God but that he's a sinner deserving death and hell to pay for his sins like everyone else in this world and believing in his heart that Jesus Christ died to pay for his sins that he would ask Jesus to save him from hell and that the holy Spirit of God would work in him and through him to free him of the bondage of this confusion and emptiness and sadness and depression. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you FREE. John 8:32 I pray that you are saved! Born again by faith in Jesus who paid for all your sins past present future and rose from the grave conquering death and hell he is the only one who has the power to forgive you and save your soul from the lake of fire.

Yeah. These comments are so misguided and cruel. They're hard to read, and I'm pretty strong minded. Without living another person's life, it's easy to dismiss their mindset and the way they are. They don't know what it's like to experience gender dysphoria, because they've had the privilege of being satisfied with who they are. They aren't interested in helping either, just getting angry and riled up over something they can't understand, just expressing their prejudice in order to distance themselves from ideas that make them uncomfortable. Trans people have been around for many years, and the difference in brain structure between men and women has been proven by science. It's been long proven that it's not a choice. They haven't read about it, because they don't actually want to have their opinions challenged. Because of their biases, they're missing out on so many strong and kind men and women (and everyone in between). That's their loss. Best of luck in your journey to discover who you are, Natalie. It's not an easy path, but your struggles are valid and you matter. You'll beat this someday. You'll come out the other end stronger.

Most humans are only selectively empathic (e.g. 99.99% of people completely ignore homeless people and just walk past them without a second thought). All humans have sociopathic tendencies. There's a reason most people eat meat. There's a reason most people don't see homeless people. You're surrounded by sharks... but they don't look like sharks because they're kind to certain people... who are they kind to? Their lovers, their kin, and their children... these are clearly mutually beneficial relationships, so it's not love, but investment and/or tribal pressure. Humans are no better than animals, we're just good at convincing ourselves that we're above animals. Look at human history if you want the truth. God regrets creating us. We are a mistake, a failed experiment. We're filth, we're dirt... we're dust, and we shall return to dust just as we deserve. There's no afterlife for humans, we don't deserve it. Think about it. If God really did send Jesus... imagine what he feels about us considering our treatment of Jesus... imagine sending your only son to save humanity... and then we torture and crucify him... there is no Satan. WE ARE THE EVIL IN THIS UNIVERSE. If a God exists, we should feel supremely grateful that he hasn't annihilated us yet. If I were God, I'd destroy humans and start again. Giving us free will was a mistake. We've shown what we do with free will, we steal, lie, rape and kill. That is humanity in a nutshell. Fuck humans.

Hi I'm a trans girl myself, and I find that washing your hair without shampoo is honestly one of the fastest way I've been able to grow out my hair. My hair routine is to wash it with warm water only, every couple of days. After massaging and washing through it with hair, I take couple drops of rosemary oil onto my hands and put it on the scalp and the length of my hair. When you dry your hair it's gonna look a bit dry, and what I do to fix this is rub some Jojoba oil into my hair (a drop or two should do it, Jojoba also helps with hair growth!) I hope you have a wonderful 2018 :) 💖

@@grlbydesign If a man thinks he'll only be happy once he is a woman then he will never be happy because he can never be a woman. Oh sure you can inject hormones and put on make up, maybe cut off your genitals and get surgery but in the end you're still male.

This makes me feel very sorry for how confuse these people are.

Thanks Justin, I really appreciate the comment!!

And I lost EVERYTHING during my transition as well my sister but I gained so much more. I gained ME. I found ME.

You are a special individual woman or man, your are a great hearted person. And some can only try to understand your journey, just do what YOU think is right and may your path have love in it. Once you are happy with who you are, you will be able to enlighten yourself and help others in similar situations... always remember that You my friend are much braver and stronger than most, so give yourself a pat on the back from time to time and ALWAYS keep positive :-) :-) I don't even know how I got here... I am not gay, not a transgender, just a regular simple man...but I am someone who can recognize a good human being.

I'm so sad to read the negative comments. You don't deserve this. No matter how many times you make mistakes, you grow in doing so. I wish you all the best xox

For some people those mistakes cost them very expensive, like death expensive..

My entire child hood i dressed as a boy. I acted like one and i felt like one. When my mother told me i couldn't wear shorts to the swimming pool like my male cousins i was extreamly upset and didn't understand why. People would mistake me for a boy everytime we went out and i couldn't help but feel a little upset each time my mom corrected them that i was a girl. My family is extreamly catholic and would yell at me eachtime they'd ask "do you like boys or girls" and I'd say girls. To this very day i can't shake the thought of imagining myself as a man with a beautiful wife and kids. It makes me happy but i feel so much shame even thinking about it. I feel like a blank canvas. I look in the mirror and i dont feel like my soul is in my body. Everytime i think about it i think about how my grandparents would look at me. How my parents would think of me. Would they still love me if i wasnt their little girl. Im really confused now and im wondering if anyone is going through the same thing.

You need to get yourself completely removed from the demonic Catholic church first. That is where the demons inside of you came from. You need to hang out with other straight women and get masculine attention so you won't crave the female attention your boy cousins got so often as child. Most important you need to join a nondenominational Christian church and learn the true scripture and feel the Holy Spirit and Jesus come to you. It will cast out the evil spirits that entered you in the demonic Catholic church. You will feel pretty and accepted as female and be very happy.

NwoDispatcher: I’m a cis female who doesn’t wear makeup. I also don’t have, or have ever wanted, children. I hate dolls, won’t be caught dead wearing or sleeping in anything pink, had my hair buzz cut at the start of summer so I didn’t have to worry about it for 3 months, played baseball, rode BMX, trekked through woods and jungles, had pet snakes, AND: wished I had been a boy, for the freedom from expectations. But I’m not trans. I just liked what I liked and hated being told I “had” to do a particular thing a particular way, ‘just’ because I’m a girl. How many stereotypes does society have about women, and should we never talk about which ones belong to the lady parts and which belong to cultural norms? Where I grew up, facial tribal-specific tattooing was done pre-puberty, and that was normal … but nobody expected me to get it done, because it was cultural (and because my mother would’ve burned down the village), not biological. It’s not up to you to mansplain which parts of “being a woman” are OK with you.

So a biological male figured out that he was actually a woman, convinced enough to transition to a female role, got there and then decided it was a mistake, transitioned back to a male role, got there and decided he(she?) was right the first time around and is now transitioning again back to a female role? I mean, do I have that flowchart laid out correctly?

I didn't, I was impulsive. I craved my old life so much! I missed my friends, the normalcy, the ability to live in the world without all of the added struggles of being a transgender woman. I wanted to be loved, and I felt it wasn't possible if I lived authentically as the trans woman I am. So there were lots of reasons to go back. I did go back. I experienced so much heartache, pain, and severe depression. I went back inside the box in which I had lived most of my life. I adopted old tendencies and vernacular again. I did absolutely everything I could to make it work. Once you've transitioned though, and you've experienced freedom and total liberation of self, you cannot truly go back. I knew I was trans, I was living in denial, and I had no choice but to finally fully accept all of those parts of myself which I feared the most.

I hope that Natalie has explored the possibility that neither male nor female will ever be a good fit. It's possible to feel at home in neither of the strict binary options. I'm so disturbed to hear that detransitioning was an impulse choice made out of a desire to mold herself to be a better fit for a love interest known for a very short period of time. I'm not shading her; I'm sympathizing. It's incredibly frightening to imagine. I can empathize with having a personality that makes one feel like if one is not moving forward full speed ahead, one is floundering and wasting time. I totally experience this in my life. Sometimes your soul just needs time. If you force any choice before you're ready, you will constantly make the wrong choices and be forced to back track. It's ok to just "live" for a while. Life's a marathon, as they say.

Aaron Binkley - I was thinking the same thing, that she could just consider herself intersex tilted toward female. My bias is that I hate to think people have to seriously change their bodies to be able to be accepted as they are. Fiddling with hormones is ok, since the mix we are born with may not be optimum for us. And that does make a huge difference in what we look like. But it would be nice if surgery and implants etc. were completely unnecessary. If we could just get rid of the tiny little boxes society tries to put everybody into, I wonder if the feeling of being in the wrong body would vanish.
