For any trans people watching, the way he binds his chest in the photograph is not a safe way to bind. If you want to bind without the risk of damaging your ribs, wear a professional chest binder, made by trans people, not one has from ace bandages. Bandages don't allow you to breathe properly, and you can run the risk of lung damage, or not being able to have top surgery later,

I'm not saying you have to support trans I'm saying you should keep your mouth shut this world already has enough negativity in it. Trans people are trying to be happy with them selves instead of waking up every morning hating what they see. It isn't wrong for them to want to be happy. You should try to be happy and live your own life. Instead of worrying about what they're doing with themselves because it's not affecting your life in a negative way. It's pretty sad that you have to life your life in fear of what their doing with their lives. Just worry about yours.

Lost Benevolence that’s so wrong in so many ways but let’s ignore that and focus on the fact that it has nothing to do with you. Let people live. If they’re happy when they look in the mirror, they have done the right thing and in the end, no one will listen to you. If they are happy when they look in the mirror, then they shouldn’t care what you think. If they are happy when they look in the mirror, they are happy, and it doesn’t matter how they got there. LET THEM LIVE

This is the video that made me realize that I was transgender 4 years ago. I remember sitting in my room, crying my eyes out as I watched- because I knew that after learning that transitioning was possible, the course of my life was about to change. And it did. 4 years later I sit here in an airbnb, propped up by pillows as I am 4 days post top surgery, 2 years on t- watching this video again, reflecting on this journey. I want to thank you for sharing your journey online so eloquently. You gave me hope- a face to put in the light at the end of the tunnel. Reminding me that I can be normal, happy, creative, free- that being trans does not make me unworthy. It makes me strong.

I'm not trans*, and I have no experience with the trans* community, aside from just being an ally, so I can't relate to this personally. However, I found it was impossible to watch this without a huge smile on my face, because I'm just so glad you have such a supportive family and community and that you were able to take the steps you needed to take to be happy and to be comfortable in your own skin. I wish more people's stories sounded like yours -- maybe then the suicide/attempt rate wouldn't be so high among this population (or the LGBT population, in general). Thank you for sharing your story! Wishing you continued happiness! :)

Had to come back to this video, I start testosterone in three weeks. I remember watching this vid a few years ago (when it had that chill song on it and wasn't narrated) despite feeling happy and motivated by your transition, I was also sad because I felt like testosterone was so far away for me. Thanks man, you've helped me more than you'll ever know.

Not gonna lie, I cred at the end! You're the best! Always so positive...I just adore you! x

Your story was so beautiful. You're so strong and an amazing person. This was very inspiring as a pre-T transman.

I watched your video a few times. I truly admire your courage and also admire the support you received from your family. I wish you the very best. Continue to be happy and comfortable. Your an amazing young man.

Seeing how much you did to get what you truly felt was you and how much you love that you did it was really amazing for me to watch. It empowers me to want to take more steps into the transformation of my current physical state into one I wish to have.

I try to maintain a very androgynous look because I myself am uncomfortable in my female body. No matter what I do or where I go, I always end up feeling uncomfortable in my skin. It has always felt off, but I have no other transgender friends to relate to or talk to and I'm not sure how I would handle hormones or surgery since I have two anxiety / panic disorders and I often find myself very bipolar about making the change. I always conclude with considering it, and I always argue with myself on what to do. ;-; Thank you for sharing your story, I find myself relating to your stages before T and it pushes me all the more into figuring out who I am.

You are an amazing guy, Sky. Thanks for sharing your story. You are strong, handsome (not to say effing hot) and it's a beautiful experience to watch you becoming yourself and getting so happy. This video just made my day! Lots of love from Germany!

This is such a wonderful transformation that I've seen. You just look so much more happier as a fully-transitioned male, and that makes me so glad. I have a slight dysphoria with my own biological sex, as a female. I know that I am female and I'm typically comfortable with being so, but sometimes (especially in regards to sexual activity) I feel that I really want to be a man. I want to have the broad shoulders, the handsome looks... *the dick.* I've been thinking about looking around for more masculine clothes for me to wear. I have short hair right now and I honestly really like it; it gives off the punk feel that I was going for. Because of your video, I'm starting to wonder how it would feel like if I expressed myself as a male. I suppose there's no harm in testing it out, because I feel that I MAY be genderfluid, or something. Do any of you feel the same way, or have some tips to make me look more masculine? I have pretty wide hips and a very defined waist, with an easily-bindable chest.

@pancakelord83

I suggest you try presenting yourself more masculine if you want to. Here are a some basics: If you have a feminine face, with full lips and arched eyebrows, I suggest you add some concealer to your lips and use eyeshadow to make your eyebrows look more masculine. For clothes, go for loose pants and binding, with a not too loose, not too tight shirt. If you have skinny arms, you can try to cover them up. Another thing about presenting yourself in a masculine way isbody language; taking up more space when you sit, leaning back a bit and not crossing your legs. When you walk, try to imagine a line in front of you, and step right next to it, that will make your hips sway less. When you talk, you can drop your voice a bit if you want to, to see if you like having a deeper voice. That's pretty much what I do.. Sadly, I don't really pass as a male yet, but if you just go for being more masculine, this could work just fine ^^
