I have a friend who transitioned in the middle of the school year and all he did was tell the principle, retook his picture, and gave each of his teachers a letter saying his new name and pronouns
and thats how simple it should be. We were just dealing with a difficult school who was clueless and non trained on how to treat transgender students. I even had the Dept. of Education train their staff and they still messed up.. IDIOTS!!!
Sheila J. yes!! they should be trained on they/them pronouns and changing pronouns as well... I would go as far as saying that they should teach kids how to treat someone that comes out to them or how to be generally respectful to Trans people
My friend gave a letter to all his teachers stating his pronouns and preferred name and the next day he got sent to the principals office and he was told what he did was disrespectful and he got suspended from school. The hell it is living in Mississippi.
That is literally me rn I came out as trans the summer of going into tenth grade and I went to the high school. Everyone called me by my birth name and this girl was like "you look like a lesbian" I was like " no I'm a guy" and this one guy shouted out "hey guys look this lesbian thinks she's a guy". Everyone started laughing and everything so I quit that school a month into the school year. I'm in 11th grade now and I'm changing schools again bc people are still bullying me even tho I'm on T and everything.
I personally just go completely undercover I just say ‘yeah I’m a girl I was just born looking like a guy’ cause at least my voice and face (with a mask) is somewhat androgynous.
You are incredibly brave and strong. I'm a gay man who came out as gay in high school in 1974. Leading up to that and afterwards I was verbally assaulted by both students and teachers and beaten regularly. I had always been "pretty" and androgynous looking and was a target. My heart goes out to you and what you have had to suffer.
Thanks for putting yourself out there like this. I run a youth acting program and have a big youtube following. I'm making a movie for my channel about a group of girls in high school - and what happens when they discover that one of their friends used to be a boy.
yo. so I recently started 9th grade and I live in a small town where there's one high school, one middle school, and two or three elementary schools so the people in my class now I've known most of them since kindergarten. not being out as trans at school is hell and killing me. I've told some of friends and family but that's all. I don't want to come out because since I've known all these people for so long I'm worried they won't or forget to use my pronouns and name and then there's the fear of being bullied and I don't know what to do. any advice?
I am in the exact same position as you. It's actually a little creepy. 1 high school, 1 middle school, 2 elemetry schools (used to be three) I've only told some of my friends and family, and I'm out at school. I've been going to this school district since kindergarten. But good luck with your, uh, trans related stuff?
BlueBell Pond hey i am not to educated on your current situation although from what I've read in this comment I think the best thing to do is be your self. Yes it can be hard and I know that bc I have known everyone in my class for at least 3 years It was hard coming out, although not as trans I came out as bisexual. It is a lot less stressful than your situation but it was still scary but you do eventually get over the nerves. I do however have a trans friend who came out by writing a rap and rapping at the school assembly. Idek just be you.
BlueBell Pond I’m currently in year 10 (UK) and I didn’t want people to know and I wanted to be openly out around college so I don’t have to make changes in school. Suddenly people were asking me if it was true that I was trans. I’ve gotten a tiny bit of people saying how my boyfriend and I are a straight couple and how my name isn’t my preferred one, but my school has said until there’s a legal name change they have to put a preferred name and they said I can change somewhere else for P.E. I’m happier really that I’m out to people because otherwise I’d still be known as my birth name and she/her which I find uncomfortable. If you’re scared, ask people how they feel on the topic, and if it’s okay, tell them. Also if you don’t want to have it spread make sure you make that clear
I wish I transitioned in highschool and got the whole experience as a boy. I transitioned in college. I also started college when I was 15, didn't transition until 17, but yeah. I wish I had that experience. Sorry your high school was stupid man.
I'd imagine that transitioning in college would be harder..I'm sixteen, and in my country, I doubt I'll be able to do anything with my body until I'm over eighteen. It sucks, because I'm still here, waisting what people tell me are "the most memorable years of your life" in my bedroom, because some dick somewhere decided that I'm too young to know what to do with myself. These people must think I can't even dress myself in the morning, it's bullshit.
Yeah, I don't understand why they think they can control our bodies. No one knows them better than we do, so we should have say on it. What really gets me annoyed is when someone wants a hysterectomy, but they are like hell no, we want you to have kids someday. I am a gay male, I aint having no kids. People man. Anyway, I wish you the best and that you get to transition, the way you want, soon:) Have a good one
Hey Sam. I'm just really sad. I am turning 21 in a few months, but I've known I was transgender since I was 10 when I saw a trans guy on TV. I really wanted a boy name, but I wanted my mom to choose my name. I knew however that she wasn't ready to hear it so I waited. I came out when I was 16 to her and she flipped out. But still I wanted her to choose my new name, so I waited more because I thought she would come around. Well, after I graduated high school when I was 18, I realized my mom wasn't going to choose a name for me because she is transphobic. So I chose my own name. I started testosterone when I was 19. When that happened, my mom called me self absorbed for not caring about her feelings about my transition... even though I had spent 8 years waiting, hoping my mom would come around. I'm happy because I'm getting top surgery next month, but my whole situation with my mom makes me sad. My mom hates the name I chose. I love my new name, and that's all that should matter. But i can't believe I wasted so many years living as this fake person just to please everyone else, worrying about everyone else's feelings but not my own. And then I finally decide to make one selfish decision, the decision to save my own life, and I was called self absorbed for it. I don't know. Life can be really unfair. Especially if it's my life lol. Thanks for listening to my really depressing ted talk.
At least your parents accept you. I go by a different name and pronouns at school but my parents don't allow me to use them...but haha sorry. Also, you're extremely lucky that the school put your name on your ID's and the register, because at my school it has to be my legal name on literally everything.
Sam ended up in a really great, accepting, open minded, diverse high school the next town over. Very professional and good to their students, unlike the high school in our town. If you live in MA, it's a state law that your preferred name be on all documents (except the true info which should remain sealed in the front office & also the nurse's office). You can use any name you choose without even having to change it legally (for school). Even if you're not in MA, look up transgender student rights for your state. These things may apply at your school as well.. Good luck!
Alex Creed my preferred name is on the register for school underneath my real one and people I know are still getting used to it, but my parents seem like they’re not trying just for the fact that a few years ago I dated a girl as a girl, now suddenly I’m dating a guy and I am a guy
Sheila J. I havent been able to find anything on Arizona laws? I've honestly been trying to find something for years. My highschool was a complete shithole with the whole name and pronouns but my college was open about it so maybe its just depends on the school?😕
There’s a trans kid in my PE period. He has to stay in the girl’s locker room cause he’s not legally a guy yet. I don’t mind cause...well idk I don’t really mind lol. But he looks so damn uncomfortable and my heart breaks for him.
I genuinely do not recognize my own legal name anymore. I have to pay so much attention in attendance cause it’ll be said and I’m just zoning out completely. I’ve never met anyone named zoe besides me though so I don’t really know if hearing it will trigger anything? I also don’t have any supportive friends irl.. and I’m still in the closet cause my mom won’t let me do anything yet (she says since I’m autistic it has to be an obsession)
ohmygod i relate to the attendance thing so much!! my teachers would get sick (or basically just not be there for some reason) 24/7 so we'd always have substitutes. all of them were transphobic and always called the wrong name. it was horrible. once, i had a very severe anxiety attack to where i couldn't even say "here" to roll-calling and so the substitute yelled at me after someone pointed me out. school where i lived was so great.
I just want to say my piece of life: I came out recently, and I'm starting highschool next year (a very religious and Catholic place) my parents are religious but sorta support the LGBT+. My mom's exact words to me when I told her I was FTM were "We'll support you, but I don't believe that you're really trans" and my heart hurts so bad because I love my parents so much but they won't even let me get a binder. At most they call me my preferred name and pronouns but they seem hella awkward using them. I hate to admit it to myself but I know I'm going to have to pay for hormones and surgery all by myself and the entire time they won't support my decisions, they think I'm mutilating my body and am gonna screw myself over😔😟😟
Sam, I feel so sorry for you! I am a transguy myself, and I would have cried my eyes out, running away from that room. You probably know this about yourself, but I want to tell you that you are so strong and you inspire me (And many others i´m sure) I`m very happy that you got through it so well and I am happy to see that you are happy now! Stay awesome, Sam!
Yeah man i didn't go to school hardly at all in year 11 and 12 bc I had to were a fucking dress or skirt and I would have panic attacks every morning before school and the just didn't go. Transitioning in school is hard dude, glad we got past that shit.
no ones transition is easy man so all the power to you hope things are better for you now that your no longer stealth and feel like you don't have to hide so much of your life
This was almost 3 years ago, but I just love how supportive the mom was. Before my mom passed away, she used to always tell me I can tell her anything, I can go to her and tell her if I ever feel like I'm not a girl, and she was super supportive and accepting and I loved it. :(
im 18, is it too late to transition? when is it too late to transition? i live in argentina and i can transition without needing to pay any money, i can get top surgery for free and testosterone for free, but im scared, i dont know if im too late. help me please haha
Oh my gosh I love your videos and wish they were longer haha. You are so down to earth and deserve all the friends in the world 😩I know this is from 4 years ago BUT STILL
*People think there so fucking smart when when stare at you and whisper harsh shit and you should never feel bad for being trans or anything you're Truly truly amazing and am glad to coming to you're channel and Smiling and everything*
I didn’t realize I was trans until 10th grade, even though I knew there was something different about me since the second grade. Terms came up that I didn’t know and I eventually found one that completely fit! I was so happy!
This was the first video I watched of yours. I’m now 17. This is insane. I used to think it was crazy you had socially transitioned in high school, but i started socially transitioning when i was 14...
I came out to my mom in middle school because that was when I finally realized what I was or in this case who I wanted to be.So I came out to her in the 6th grade about wanting to be of the male gender and I knew she used to always tell me things like "Oh I promise i'll accept you either way" but i'm not trying to be selfish saying I wanted to hear certain words but what she said was a bit worrying to me,it quote she told me "You may not feel this way in the future or you might" than telling me she loves me and all,although I am glad she accepts me!I still felt she doubted me noticing my sexuality knowing how young I was,yes I was young and all but I felt as if she thought I didn't know what I was talking about.See at the time of course she had many friends of the LGBTQ+ community and she cared for them like family,but having her daughter wanting to be a male I felt as if she didn't want her own family to deal with that.I have not told my real dad to this day about who I really am because of how strict he was for me when I was a child.....
aww im so proud of you for being strong through those years. it must've been horrible but you pulled through. im happy you found a great school in the end :) love youuuu
+Sam Collins Hi. I'm ftm trans and was wondering how I would come out to my teachers. I'm starting highchool next year and felt like coming out. do you think I should come out freshman year or softmore year? Thank you. love your videos btw!
Awwww! I feel so bad for you! Back then in 10th grade I also had a friend who was transgender and here in Germany schools don't even try to understand the feelings of those people (at least mine didn't) My school kept calling him a she and used the wrong name all the time / He even had to use the girls changing room! Well ,he left after some months and I still feel sad about that. It's 2016 yet some people are still complete assholes when it comes to topics like sexualities or genders 😒
Jordan I know this was posted awhile ago, but I am a man (was born a woman) who is thinking heavily on their future. I plan on living in Germany once I graduate college or rather moving there first and going to university there...but I am not quite sure how broadly educated Germany is on what it means to be transgender. I know they are pretty open with a variety of things, but I am not sure if I am going to be treated as a man (like will I be called by my proper pronouns/name- which will probably both be legally changed by then) there. I am just curious, and I would be humbled if you had any insight to share, thank you!
@@creativeprodigies1322 I'm pretty sure they will have respect for it, especially if you're an adult and it has been legally changed. Most people of the younger generation speak English, use social media, etc. so they will be familiar with that topic already. As for my experience, I had someone in my older school who wanted to be a girl and everyone had to act that way too. That was only in year 8 or so. Don't worry too much about it.
So I'm ftm trans and I'm 13 and my parents finally let me get my hair cut.... I was going to do this in the summer but nope I did it 3 days before school ends.. I'm kinda scared to go to school tommorow
My mom looked at me and just goes "Kylie... Answer me honestly, are you trans?" I just had a mini panic attack and now she let me cut my hair.... Im scared.. Really scared.. I'm only in 8th grade (for 3 more days)... So I'm gonna go to school and have short hair...I'm scared.. I got a really bad haircut too so..
I'm glad you had the courage to come out in high school. Its a shame i cant do the same because i go to an all girls school, and i have 2 more years of high school. This shit really sucks. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me?!?!?
Assuming your guidance counselor is willing to listen to you and try to make accommodations (ie. Private bathroom, letter to your teachers stating your pronouns/name) I would suggest reaching out to them, though changing schools was my only option since I didn't have a group of friends who would support me in coming out to their social network/my classmates so going to a new school & starting fresh at least let me focus without worrying about socially transitioning. That part is probably one of the most difficult, awkward stages of transition. Hope things work out for you dude 😁❤️
Jasper Athos The worst part is that I've been diagnosed with social anxiety, so that doesn't help. Thanks dude, i think i'm going to have to come out to my parents so they can help me socially transition by changing school. :)
I live in England and we’re more accepting generally but my school is really great with all this, we have our own lgbt+ group and one of my closest friends from there is a trans guy and the School is good with his name/pronouns etc so I’m excited to have it changed at school officially
What i do for gym class is i say my binder is for a medical thing. I personally have scoliosis and have to wear a brace to keep my spine for bending, so i have to wear this under shirt thing for comfort. So that makes it easy to wear it because it just looks just the undershirt.
I'm only in 7th grade and identity as male (ftm transgender) my parents tell me that it's just a phase and that i'm too young. My parents tell me tho that once i'm 18 and can move out i can do whatever the fuck i want, but honestly i can't 5-6 years. tF sHoULd i dO
Just your average waste of space I knew I was trans from the age of ten. Told my mum, she said “probably a phase” im now in 10th grade she says “still a phase” i want to live HS as a dude not like this
ive finally come in terms with being trans, i knew it since i was 9 that i wasnt a girl but i didnt know trans was even a thing and ppl told me im going through a "tomboy" phase anyway a lot of internalized transphobia but now im comfortable to be myself. my family is very transphobic and homophobic so transitioning wont be for me, they deadname and misgender me everyday its exhausting but yeah im going to a new school since i moved and im so scared of changing my name and pronouns bc then my mom would know it -.-
I was in twelfth grade and I went to a technology school and my teacher was horrible. She was incredibly hateful and disrespectful towards me and my beliefs, telling me that it was against her religion. It was a public school, mind you, and a teacher putting his or her religious and political beliefs in to a situation at school was not legal. I'm so glad that I graduated and fought as much as I could to leave that school
Wow lol. Not wanting to call you by your name and interpreting that as wanting to be stealth/saying don't make videos? Like...I don't want to be called Bob, not because i'm a girl but because it's not my damn name.

Pinkcreeper he was saying that as I was reading this comment haha
I was looking for this comment
Bri Cheese
I fucking died at this moment
That was me today when my teacher was taking attendance h
"i wanted to get as far away as my town as possible bc i hated everyone" relatable
hahahaha me too. but from my schools everyone sucks
Jup
I have a friend who transitioned in the middle of the school year and all he did was tell the principle, retook his picture, and gave each of his teachers a letter saying his new name and pronouns
and thats how simple it should be. We were just dealing with a difficult school who was clueless and non trained on how to treat transgender students. I even had the Dept. of Education train their staff and they still messed up.. IDIOTS!!!
Sheila J. yes!! they should be trained on they/them pronouns and changing pronouns as well... I would go as far as saying that they should teach kids how to treat someone that comes out to them or how to be generally respectful to Trans people
That sounds awesome!! I have to go through counselling, then I'm going to get referred to a therapist THEN I can go to a gender thing. Sad times. :/
My friend gave a letter to all his teachers stating his pronouns and preferred name and the next day he got sent to the principals office and he was told what he did was disrespectful and he got suspended from school. The hell it is living in Mississippi.
Celeste Clifford I have a friend from there, MS sucks lol
That dislike is probably your principal
No comments? I'm gonna fix that
boy, your mom is the best tbh
where's your principal live? i just wanna talk
pumpkinblush "Talk". *cough cough*. Can I tag along and talk"
pumpkinblush with my fist
pumpkinblush I'm coming 2
*hits hand with fist*
I'm coming to
I'm coming as well!
That is literally me rn I came out as trans the summer of going into tenth grade and I went to the high school.

I'm in 11th grade now and I'm changing schools again bc people are still bullying me even tho I'm on T and everything.
I personally just go completely undercover
I just say ‘yeah I’m a girl I was just born looking like a guy’ cause at least my voice and face (with a mask) is somewhat androgynous.
hello!!! i hope everything is going well now and also i just wanna say that in your profile pic you look AMAZING!!!!
@SteffOrSomething my brother in christ his profile picture is just the letter L
I found your videos and this was basically my thought process:
"That's a transguy named Sam... I'm a transguy named Sam..... He's me from the future-"
Me, who has another trans friend named Sam: 👁👄👁
Me who has a trans brother named Sam: ..
me, also a trans guy named sam :o
Im coming out this year (9th grade lmao) and I'm lowkey scared
I hope all goes well for you and everyone's supportive!
Good luck buddy, I hope everything runs smoothly :)
Hope it's going well!
I'm fourteen year old trans guy and I'm terrified of coming out, especially since there's a shit ton of transphobic people at my school.
Sarah Howell the easiest thing to do right now is to stay in the closet. your safety is the most important thing in this situation.
You are incredibly brave and strong. I'm a gay man who came out as gay in high school in 1974. Leading up to that and afterwards I was verbally assaulted by both students and teachers and beaten regularly. I had always been "pretty" and androgynous looking and was a target. My heart goes out to you and what you have had to suffer.
You're very brave 🫂
I just want to cuddle you idk why.

Robert Randall what's it called?

yo. so I recently started 9th grade and I live in a small town where there's one high school, one middle school, and two or three elementary schools so the people in my class now I've known most of them since kindergarten. not being out as trans at school is hell and killing me.

There’s a trans kid in my PE period. He has to stay in the girl’s locker room cause he’s not legally a guy yet. I don’t mind cause...well idk I don’t really mind lol. But he looks so damn uncomfortable and my heart breaks for him.
poor thing, was he not allowed to use the nurse's office to change? Absolute bullshit. I hope he's doing better now
Thanks for sharing this Sam! and props to your mom for being so amazingly supportive, she sounds wonderful ^.^
Thank you !
if somebody uses your wrong pronouns/name ignore them. "alexis!" "..." "alexis come here!" "..." "alexander!" "coming!"
That’s actually my dead name and my new name XD
I genuinely do not recognize my own legal name anymore. I have to pay so much attention in attendance cause it’ll be said and I’m just zoning out completely.
I’ve never met anyone named zoe besides me though so I don’t really know if hearing it will trigger anything? I also don’t have any supportive friends irl.. and I’m still in the closet cause my mom won’t let me do anything yet (she says since I’m autistic it has to be an obsession)
It's even harder to come out as transgender when your autistic😖💔
Ah man, keep pushing through it! It will get better eventually!
Keke Campbell awe bud it's ok❤️ just be who u are. If you're comfortable coming out yet that's fine❤️
I have aspergers and yeah, it's hard...
“ThAtS mE “ 😂 he’s just so genuine. We must protect him at all costs
ohmygod i relate to the attendance thing so much!! my teachers would get sick (or basically just not be there for some reason) 24/7 so we'd always have substitutes. all of them were transphobic and always called the wrong name. it was horrible. once, i had a very severe anxiety attack to where i couldn't even say "here" to roll-calling and so the substitute yelled at me after someone pointed me out. school where i lived was so great.
*"and after that day, I just never went back to that school"*
my idol right here lmao
I just want to say my piece of life: I came out recently, and I'm starting highschool next year (a very religious and Catholic place) my parents are religious but sorta support the LGBT+. My mom's exact words to me when I told her I was FTM were "We'll support you, but I don't believe that you're really trans" and my heart hurts so bad because I love my parents so much but they won't even let me get a binder. At most they call me my preferred name and pronouns but they seem hella awkward using them. I hate to admit it to myself but I know I'm going to have to pay for hormones and surgery all by myself and the entire time they won't support my decisions, they think I'm mutilating my body and am gonna screw myself over😔😟😟
I want his entire wardrobe.
Sam, I feel so sorry for you! I am a transguy myself, and I would have cried my eyes out, running away from that room. You probably know this about yourself, but I want to tell you that you are so strong and you inspire me (And many others i´m sure) I`m very happy that you got through it so well and I am happy to see that you are happy now! Stay awesome, Sam!
“If someone said a girls name and I would be like **deep voice** *thats me* “ 😂😂😂
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO IM SO LIT
Same
"The principle was a piece of shit. I hate you, I hope you're watching this" XD
Yeah man i didn't go to school hardly at all in year 11 and 12 bc I had to were a fucking dress or skirt and I would have panic attacks every morning before school and the just didn't go. Transitioning in school is hard dude, glad we got past that shit.
no ones transition is easy man so all the power to you hope things are better for you now that your no longer stealth and feel like you don't have to hide so much of your life
I got my hair cut on July 15th five days after I came out to my family in three days it will be six months since that day
This was almost 3 years ago, but I just love how supportive the mom was. Before my mom passed away, she used to always tell me I can tell her anything, I can go to her and tell her if I ever feel like I'm not a girl, and she was super supportive and accepting and I loved it. :(
im 18, is it too late to transition? when is it too late to transition? i live in argentina and i can transition without needing to pay any money, i can get top surgery for free and testosterone for free, but im scared, i dont know if im too late. help me please haha
also i can ask for my passport/id and all that jazz to be changed from ftm without needing bottom surgery, but still, im kinda scared
that laws are different in different countries. try researching the laws about it in argentina! it's never too late to transition so no worries :)
It's not too late there's a trans woman at the LGBT group I just started going to that transitioned at 34
I don’t think any time is too late.
Ezra Ángel Jaramillo It's never too late to transition 😘
Oh my gosh I love your videos and wish they were longer haha. You are so down to earth and deserve all the friends in the world 😩I know this is from 4 years ago BUT STILL
you're sooooo cute omg i want to kiss ur lil face
human sadness im sure your comment was with good intentions, but dont. Trans guys dont usually like to be associated with “cute” and “little”.
Us trans guys don’t really like being called “cute” but ok
@@sybauk that's good to know, although i always prefer cute guys, whether they're cis or not
*People think there so fucking smart when when stare at you and whisper harsh shit and you should never feel bad for being trans or anything you're Truly truly amazing and am glad to coming to you're channel and Smiling and everything*
Damn that was bad 😐 boy u strong
So sorry you ever had to deal with such bs. I'm so glad you have an amazing mom to advocate for you.
you sound like Luke Korns I think his name is lol much love to you bro
You are the cutest person ever. I just love how you are so true to yourself.RESPECT.
That's awful sam I'm sorry you had to go through that
The CC for your name was “ass and Collins” I’m dying 😂😂
Your moms awesome!! I would've texted my mom too, I do that all the time in class XD
Totally admire you in sharing your story. Wishing you all the best Sam 👍
I didn’t realize I was trans until 10th grade, even though I knew there was something different about me since the second grade. Terms came up that I didn’t know and I eventually found one that completely fit! I was so happy!
When he said “that’s me” I cracked up
This was the first video I watched of yours. I’m now 17. This is insane. I used to think it was crazy you had socially transitioned in high school, but i started socially transitioning when i was 14...
I'm so proud and so happy that you survived the struggle and it's all comfortable and easy for you now. You deserve the happiness Sam, great vid.❤️
Ugh i feel for you, i absolutely hate being called by my legal name, i cant really do anything about it though...
I almost started crying when he talked about them showing his old photo on the screen omg :(
Aw I miss little Sam
dang I am so sorry you went through this... high school sucks
okay , but can we talk how ATTRACTIVE he looks in this video
I could never tell you enough how proud I am of you. I love how brave you are. you really inspire me and I can't thank you enough for everything❤️
i.want.to.hug.you. your so adorable
andi hearts you’re
Sorry
I came out to my mom in middle school because that was when I finally realized what I was or in this case who I wanted to be.So I came out to her in the 6th grade about wanting to be of the male gender and I knew she used to always tell me things like "Oh I promise i'll accept you either way" but i'm not trying to be selfish saying I wanted to hear certain words but what she said was a bit worrying to me,it quote she told me "You may not feel this way in the future or you might" than telling me she loves me and all,although I am glad she accepts me!I still felt she doubted me noticing my sexuality knowing how young I was,yes I was young and all but I felt as if she thought I didn't know what I was talking about.See at the time of course she had many friends of the LGBTQ+ community and she cared for them like family,but having her daughter wanting to be a male I felt as if she didn't want her own family to deal with that.I have not told my real dad to this day about who I really am because of how strict he was for me when I was a child.....
How old is he?
Sam is 20 years old.
nck75 - thx
aww im so proud of you for being strong through those years. it must've been horrible but you pulled through. im happy you found a great school in the end :) love youuuu
+Sam Collins Hi. I'm ftm trans and was wondering how I would come out to my teachers. I'm starting highchool next year and felt like coming out. do you think I should come out freshman year or softmore year? Thank you. love your videos btw!
I haven't watched it yet. And I already know it's gunna be good
get pillowcases!! lol
thank you so much for being open with us. I'm so proud of you, ily. ❤️
Awwww! I feel so bad for you! Back then in 10th grade I also had a friend who was transgender and here in Germany schools don't even try to understand the feelings of those people (at least mine didn't) My school kept calling him a she and used the wrong name all the time / He even had to use the girls changing room! Well ,he left after some months and I still feel sad about that. It's 2016 yet some people are still complete assholes when it comes to topics like sexualities or genders 😒
Jordan I know this was posted awhile ago, but I am a man (was born a woman) who is thinking heavily on their future. I plan on living in Germany once I graduate college or rather moving there first and going to university there...but I am not quite sure how broadly educated Germany is on what it means to be transgender. I know they are pretty open with a variety of things, but I am not sure if I am going to be treated as a man (like will I be called by my proper pronouns/name- which will probably both be legally changed by then) there. I am just curious, and I would be humbled if you had any insight to share, thank you!
@@creativeprodigies1322 I'm pretty sure they will have respect for it, especially if you're an adult and it has been legally changed. Most people of the younger generation speak English, use social media, etc. so they will be familiar with that topic already.
As for my experience, I had someone in my older school who wanted to be a girl and everyone had to act that way too. That was only in year 8 or so.
Don't worry too much about it.
I love hearing about the positives you are currently experiencing and hope that the negatives are far outweighed
I've had a teacher tell me and my gf to tell anyone who says we're not ok to go to hell
"I have no friends really. Actually I had no friends." This has been me my entire life 😂
So I'm ftm trans and I'm 13 and my parents finally let me get my hair cut.... I was going to do this in the summer but nope I did it 3 days before school ends.. I'm kinda scared to go to school tommorow
As a mom to a really young kid I really want to empasize that having that kind of support from a parent is crucial. You are a verry lucky young man :)
yes it is....and thank you!
My mom looked at me and just goes "Kylie... Answer me honestly, are you trans?" I just had a mini panic attack and now she let me cut my hair.... Im scared.. Really scared.. I'm only in 8th grade (for 3 more days)... So I'm gonna go to school and have short hair...I'm scared.. I got a really bad haircut too so..
Are you alright?
I love your videos, cos your always honest about your problems, u ain't afraid to tell someone about how u feel x thx a lot Sam
you got me scared to go to school now I just came out as transgender (ftm) and im really scared now
Kamryn Wadsworth really? I guess I'll have my own experience
Kamryn Wadsworth that's very kind 🙏 thank you!❤🌷
"sO this is where hell begins!.." * smiles *
oh boi
I'm glad you had the courage to come out in high school. Its a shame i cant do the same because i go to an all girls school, and i have 2 more years of high school. This shit really sucks. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me?!?!?
Assuming your guidance counselor is willing to listen to you and try to make accommodations (ie. Private bathroom, letter to your teachers stating your pronouns/name) I would suggest reaching out to them, though changing schools was my only option since I didn't have a group of friends who would support me in coming out to their social network/my classmates so going to a new school & starting fresh at least let me focus without worrying about socially transitioning. That part is probably one of the most difficult, awkward stages of transition. Hope things work out for you dude 😁❤️
Jasper Athos The worst part is that I've been diagnosed with social anxiety, so that doesn't help. Thanks dude, i think i'm going to have to come out to my parents so they can help me socially transition by changing school. :)
I go to all girls school and it sucks like hell. Hang in there bro 😀❤
You're the only one that makes me smile for a good reason.
What did u say when the teacher called ur previous name
I'm so glad ur using ur personal experience and using it to give others help, I luv u and ur postitive impact sam ❤️❤️
where did u get that hoodie from? :O
Your amazing 😩❤️ always bringing a smile to my face when ever I see your videos. #hugefan
How does it feel to come out.
It sucks man. But once you get it off your chest it’s better
so proud of everything youve overcame i know this must have been tough for you. lots of love for you always kid miss u xx
I’m 13 and I’ve come out and have started to figure out how to transition 🙂👍
I live in England and we’re more accepting generally but my school is really great with all this, we have our own lgbt+ group and one of my closest friends from there is a trans guy and the School is good with his name/pronouns etc so I’m excited to have it changed at school officially
congrats!!! :)
What i do for gym class is i say my binder is for a medical thing. I personally have scoliosis and have to wear a brace to keep my spine for bending, so i have to wear this under shirt thing for comfort. So that makes it easy to wear it because it just looks just the undershirt.
0:04-0:05 you look amazing
I think you're so brave. U couldn't even imagine doing that.I'd be so scared.Proud of you!❤
I'm only in 7th grade and identity as male (ftm transgender) my parents tell me that it's just a phase and that i'm too young. My parents tell me tho that once i'm 18 and can move out i can do whatever the fuck i want, but honestly i can't 5-6 years. tF sHoULd i dO
Just your average waste of space I knew I was trans from the age of ten. Told my mum, she said “probably a phase” im now in 10th grade she says “still a phase” i want to live HS as a dude not like this
ive finally come in terms with being trans, i knew it since i was 9 that i wasnt a girl but i didnt know trans was even a thing and ppl told me im going through a "tomboy" phase anyway a lot of internalized transphobia but now im comfortable to be myself. my family is very transphobic and homophobic so transitioning wont be for me, they deadname and misgender me everyday its exhausting but yeah im going to a new school since i moved and im so scared of changing my name and pronouns bc then my mom would know it -.-
Im trans MtF and i dont have supportive parents and idk how to come out (im in a new school & country). Wish me luck.
Good luck!
I was in twelfth grade and I went to a technology school and my teacher was horrible. She was incredibly hateful and disrespectful towards me and my beliefs, telling me that it was against her religion. It was a public school, mind you, and a teacher putting his or her religious and political beliefs in to a situation at school was not legal. I'm so glad that I graduated and fought as much as I could to leave that school
In the thumbnail he lowkey looked like leafyishere
that's so cool how your mom is so supportive though (mine didn't take me seriously when i told her...)
Wow lol. Not wanting to call you by your name and interpreting that as wanting to be stealth/saying don't make videos? Like...I don't want to be called Bob, not because i'm a girl but because it's not my damn name.
You have a lot of stories and you deliver them really well. Best of luck to you.
I literally just told my music teacher I’m trans, and I’m still in the closet :p...
You're really inspirational. I'm going to be FtM and I'm going into 9th grade. I love you. Keep pushing, man.
