  This just popped up on my recommended after another video, and I just want to say you look amazing. I'm transitioning MtF and I've pretty much got the voice down, but I really hope I eventually look as feminine as you look and sound masculine.

  I transitioned 2 yrs ago and had top surgery 1 year ago. I will be having "medical tattooing" in my scar lines, which will fade them into the surrounding skin coloring. If you want more info, let me know. Overall, man, you look great. Congrats on 9 years!

  Of course finding acceptance in a partner is important. Accepting yourself and being comfortable with you is most important. I’ve only had top surgery. No regrets! No need for any other surgeries for me. I love being me and who I am. Just a lot of changes along the way. It’s a true journey ❤

  Ok, I just went back to your Apr 4, 2021, OMG Christian!! You've come so far I'm so happy for you! You fit in where ever you want to to, introduce yourself. Remember you were young once to and there was likely some 41 year old nurse thinking the same things you are, HA!! I would be honored if someone with salt and pepper hair came into to take care of my kids, I mean seriously, that to me shows experience. Experience is exactly what I want not some 25 year old that's not sure about their life choices.

  From this vantage point you sure do look just like a man and I never would have thought for a moment that you were not a man had I seen you in passing. Yes, I know, of course that was the whole point of testosterone and surgery for those who take that road, and why its called "passing". Others do not "pass" but just demand we see them as the opposite sex when we do not, and I do not play pronouns. Obviously, I do not know you personally, but would say "he" if I used a pronoun when referring to you. However. if you were my sister and we grew up together, or my son and I raised you, I don't believe I would be able to consider you male, regardless of what you did to your female body. Sorry for the time you lost with your family, cancer sucks.

  Hey friend. If you're ever in New Mexico let me know! I am an artist and have studios at a space that's super cool and the owner is a beautiful person and queer and is making a space in our building for traveling nurses! Her wife is a nurse. She is always trying to support the queer community and you check two boxes. lol If I were a parent, I would want someone your age! I'm 58 so I get it but there are bonuses to aging! I understand aging and becoming a bit invisible in another way.

  I can feel so much love you have for your family! My journey with gender has been so difficult because I have been living with my family and I realized very recently from talking to my therapist that I really care about what my parents think and I haven't been able to prioritize my feelings, almost my whole life. I'm 27 now, I guess it is not too late. But so much ways to bridge my communication with them. Hard things aside, I feel so much euphoria from short haircuts. I got a side part for the first time and I look so good and handsome. But I hate my hair when it gets close to 4 weeks and I realize I have hair dysphoria too! Thank you for sharing :)

  You’re right on! Transition videos a few years ago: we were just so happy to have no more chesticles. We didn’t care about scars. But over time and experience, life is always more subtle and now we worry about outing ourselves at the beach. We still can’t relax. Good for you to find that place, and so good to hear you talking about your foster kids as you did. Life is complex and you are pioneering in this space. I think you’re getting the balance spot on, even though it’s often at your own expense. Today was liberating for all your family.

  Do you ever experience gender euphoria/dysphoria depending on what pronouns someone uses to refer to you? How about when people use more masculine/more feminine names to refer you to? (My 2nd question is worded weirdly, when i say considered more masculine and example could be bro/brother and something that can be considered more feminine is sis/sister)

• 
  @AftrskewlXprmnt3 жыл бұрын

  It depends whether socially you feel belonging to manhood or womanhood or neither or a mix. Personally in my own experience of being a butch lesbian, I feel nonbinary because I don’t feel like a man or a woman, even if i like to be more masculine on the outside, I do not feel belonging to either group. Just a vague wibbly wobbly thread of a connection to womanhood. Not every butch lesbian conceptualises their gender like this but this is how I feel. I relate to Leslie Feinberg’s writing a lot and this helped me realise there are butch lesbians like me and helped me settle into my identity. I think just keep watching and reading things about people’s experiences and see what resonates with you and what doesn’t, what feels good and what doesn’t. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

  I related to this so much 😶 esp the “I should’ve stuck around and pushed the boundaries of the relationships instead of leaving” part. I’m kind of a runner too (as a default defense mechanism) and it’s had some not great consequences in a lot of areas in my life (family friends even at work). I think sticking around forces you to try to figure out communicating even if it’s very hard and potentially hurtful, and that you grow from it

  You must understand that just like your parents and so many other intelligent people on this earth, who have complete and total faith in the creator of all things and the power to breathe breath into your lungs every second and to take it away with a swipe of his mighty hand is extremely more important then to participate in a demonic abominable sinful deliberate act of behavior against God! God is not nor has he ever been religious! People are religious! God is Holy and righteous and has the power to send every rotten soul that goes against his words to the pits of Hell were their father dwells(Satan) So people such as yourself can live your happy lives of lies and delusion,and worldly ways of selfish self-centered - self entitled choices of endless sin. Allow your parents who have true love for the Lord worship him in peace.

  I relate a lot to this. My mum died of cancer and even up to the end refused to talk about anything substantial. And the extended family, although some have been supportive, none are ‘there’ for us, and I feel very excluded from things by being different, despite whatever attempts I made to keep people together or keep in touch.

  i'm a lesbian trans woman, and i sometimes i experience the attitude of cis lesbians not being very welcome to me, or having this kind of fear/confusion around someone like me. as part of the 't', i accept you as a dude, and as part of my community. i have many friends who are trans men, and we've always had a very respectful relationship. i remember once i was with a group of trans guys and we went to a bar and drank beer all the night, and no one felt uncomfortable, they know i'm not into guys, so there wasn't any sexual game, it was just us hanging out and having fun. i wish i could have similar experiences with cis lesbian women as well, it's so cool to just relax with nice people and talk about life.

  @@PepsiMagt i don't disagree with you, everyone has their preference. i think i'm more attracted to what you call the 'female sex', both primary and secondary sex characteristics. i'm also fine dating people with secondary sex characteristics of the female sex, and primary sex characteristics of the male sex. but i think i'm just more likely to date a cis woman. i honestly don't care what people think, i just want to find someone who will love me, and make me feel safe. i don't know if you are the kind of person who wants to dismiss my gender identity and life experiences, so i'm not sure whether it's a good think to talk to you or not. i'm not in a particularly light mood right now. anyway, just live your life and find someone to love, i think that's what everyone is searching, in the end. there's no need to fight.

  @ok ok i had experiences in the past with men, i just don't feel comfortable being touched by a man. their skin texture, and smell, they make me feel uncomfortable. they are stronger than me, i feel vulnerable, but not in a way that is arousing, but in a more fear mode, i guess. easier for me to feel at ease with a woman. in the same way that there are straight men who like trans women, there are also lesbians. i'm also post-op, so genitals are not a problem. i think my body doesn't cause any sort of discomfort for a cis lesbian woman, probably the opposite.

  @beatrizkarwai67633 жыл бұрын

  @ok ok i think it's more of an involuntary response, not bigotry. maybe i'm just not attracted to men, that's all. i know it's unusual to be a trans lesbian, but that's who i am. i can't change my sexual orientation, and feel attracted to men instead of women, there is no switch in the brain that can do that. in the same way, i can't expect other people to have the same switch. lesbians feel attracted to me because my body and atitude look typically female, i don't have to force them. just like lots of straight men, and gay women, are attracted by blaire white, it's the same kind of situation.

Like sure you hadn’t socially mentally medically or surgically transitioned but you have always been your true authentic self and that is a man xx I don’t mean any hate just you’re valid- who you are and what you have felt is valid and if you have identified as a lesbian then I am not ever gonna say you’re not XX I just am wondering how you’d describe it as?
