Just speaking for myself, I am so proud of you. You've become an advocate for future generations just putting yourself out there. You are a fantastic individual and I hope you continue to find more and more happiness.
This is by far my FAVE Video ever, because it makes me realize how far you really have come in the last 5 years and what you have accomplished, I am SO PROUD OF YOU xx
I watch this over and over, almost every day just because not only do I like to compare this to your recent videos, but because it's an inspiration for me ♥
I just finished reading your book “before I had the words” and I decided to come watch your videos now. Hearing your story has given me more hope for the future and what I can have to look forward to. Even if my family doesn’t support me, just seeing that you made it so far helps give me hope.
reading your book right now. just got to the chapter that has this video in it. this book has been helping me with my own dysphoria. its been eye opening to read. thanks for the help and support youve indirectly given me :)
So I’m reading your memoir right now and just got to the part where you’re taking about taking this video and I realized I could look it up and re-watch it (cuz I watched it a ton when I was waiting to start T myself). But anyway just wanted to tell you that your book is so amazing and you’re so amazing and I’m so grateful that you do so much for the community. I know you really helped me when I felt so alone and misunderstood. So thanks. Thanks for existing!
I just say your most recent video and its crazy how your voice and body has changed. It makes me cry with happiness to know that technology can do this for those who were born in the wrong body.
Based on my calculations, and when this video was made, that makes you around 13 years of age..? F*cking hell, that breaks my heart. I still played with dolls when I was 13! I really didn't know sh*t about who I was, or what I wanted. Nor did I really think I did. I started THINKING that I knew what I was, and what I wanted, when I was closer to maybe 16..? I remember feeling VERY adult, and VERY mature, at that age. But in all actuality, I did not really know f*ck-all until my mid-20s! Some things started gradually falling into place once I'd hit 23. But now, 10 years later, I'm still constantly learning and changing. And what I want now..? Has still changed a lot from what I wanted back then. "Trans" is a lie. It is nothing but a culturally created story, to explain the suffering of people who, for whatever reason, find themselves varying levels of uncomfortable in their bodies. (Factors that recur, that make people much more at risk for developing that kind of discomfort: past trauma. Mental illness. Neurodivergence, and especially autism. Internalized misogyny / sexism. Internalized homophobia. Being naturally gender non-conforming, and getting treated badly because of it. Homosexuality. The dislike of being sexualized and objectified by straight men. Being very online, and getting indoctrinated into gender ideology either by online peers, or sometimes by real life peers. Either way, feeling strongly that you have to support it, and think about your "identity" through that lens, in order to belong. Etc.) But being uncomfortable in your body..? Does not in ANY way mean it's inherently "wrong" for you! That's the culturally created lie, right there! Nor does it mean you're inherently some very special type of person, known as "trans"! Again, that's just a construct. And it functions much like a religion. If you believe in it, and see yourself through that lens..? That's the reality you'll find yourself in, due to your own subjective perception! Kind of like, if you're a Christian? You'll pray to Jesus, and genuinely feel like he responds in some kind of way, (usually not an audible voice, though), and that God is with you. Whereas if you're an atheist..? You'll experience NO such thing, and NO divine presence, at all! And those differences..? Are 100% down to the power of your brain, to create whatever reality is the most compatible with your own self-selected perceptual filter! Which, speaking from DIRECT experience with that. As someone who's been both a Christian and an atheist, at different points in the past, but is now neither. Plus also..? I used to be a totally convinced "trans ally", who fully believed in the gender stuff. And now I'm a totally evil TERF. (We're not actually evil. I'm just being sarcastic and slightly bitter, at constantly being told I'm just the WORST person ever, because I no longer buy this sh*t.) And again..? How I experience reality has MASSIVELY shifted, since after I woke up to the realities of what's going on, and stopped believing in gender ideology! Like.. I used to think I had a "gender identity", for instance. Because surely, everyone does, right..? Believe "gender" is legit, and you'll keep constantly obsessing over what your "gender identity" is! Which.. now I no longer even believe I have one. Me experiencing myself as female is 100% down to the fact that I'm in a female body, and I accept and acknowledge the reality of that. It's not a FEELING. It's just.. this is my body. And even if I HATED my body, and wished it wasn't female..? I'd still be female, regardless. Same with you. You'll also always be female, no matter what you do! It can't be changed. The only thing you can really change..? Is trying to AESTHETICALLY resemble a man. But you will never actually be a man. Plus trying to do that would mean SEVERELY harming yourself, and your one and only body, with wrong sex hormones and surgically amputating healthy body parts. Which, doing that stuff to yourself is SO freaking dangerous! It comes with massive risks, side effects, and a decreased life expectancy. High levels of testosterone is REALLY freaking bad for female bodies! Hope you research it more, and that you decide NOT to do this. You'd just be living a lie, anyway. Looking like you're male, perhaps. And expecting other people to believe you are, and play along with your performance. But.. you can never actually be male! Just a masculinized female! I ramble FAR too much. But I just felt like saying it. Because I fear that no one else will. And you really NEED to hear it somewhere, before you irrevocably harm yourself. Your discomfort is real! And probably has its own underlying reasons! But "trans"..? Is a lie. It's a culturally created story. And it is also very cult-y. It's a lot like an extreme body mod religion, that society does not call out for being a religion, no matter how much it harms people that get sucked into it. Because people are cowards, and calling it out will get you cancelled, maybe lose you friends, etc. So.. most people just play along. Plus there's the strong wish to "be kind". But the way I see things is, playing along with this extremely harmful sh*te is THE very opposite of kind! As it leads to people like you getting further pulled into this dark rabbit hole, and harmed for life. Whereas calling it what it is, and refusing to play along..? Is really the kind thing to do! In that it forcefully confronts people with what REALITY is! Although I get why it does not SEEM kind, to people in your position. Because it is bound to feel very, very bad! Just like, when someone loves and fully believes in a destructive cult, a loved one pointing out how said cult is harming them, and lying to them, and destroying their life, is going to feel VERY bad for that cult member, too. Making it easy to conclude: "my loved one is an awful, terrible person, who just wants to hurt me!" Even when what they're ACTUALLY doing..? Is looking out for you, and trying to save you, because they see the cult for what it is. And it is also kind of like: you might be sleepwalking, and about to blissfully jump off a cliff, during your lovely dream state. Which.. maybe it's the BEST dream you've ever had! And it feels AMAZING! But us TERFs keep trying to take your dream away from you, (which seems VERY mean! I get it!), by waking you up, so that you DON'T step off that cliff and hurt yourself! ..That's what it looks like, from this side of things. I'll stop rambling now. But I wish you all the best. Sincerely.
@@InterstellarDreams firstly im about to be 15 so your math is shit, and secondly im not religious at all and if I didn't change what I looked like I'd kill myself so if thats what you'd like than sure, im not trans, im just a girl who doesn't want to live because I know I'm a boy and if I cant live that in this life maybe I can die and be reincarnated into a body I deserve
@@not_clishaeI’m starting to feel that I may be genderfluid or something not too far off from my current gender, and I’m wondering how you started. (I’m slightly younger then you)
So just randomly stumbled across your videos & listened to one of your songs bright eyes & you have an amazing voice ! & after watching this & listening to what you had to say your pretty damn awesome haha (: oh & congrats on the surgery !
nice gonna check out ur documentation are there any prior vids tho where u explaining what problem u had? was it simply low testosterone or was there some actual disease or mutation if u will?
Wow i just watched your recent video and youve changed so much. And thats obviously in a good way. Today i wouldnt even 2nd guess youre a guy. Youve come a very very very long way. Nice triumph!
I was really confused when I first watched this video 'cause your voice sounded female and you looked like a male... But you've changed so much in just 2 years!
Wow, what a difference. But honestly you look great pre-T already! :P And your voice, even though it's A LOT different from your current voice, it's better than mine. I hate my voice, it's so feminine and it doesn't even fit my personality. It's such a "Oh look, Imma hot chick" voice DX (and I'm NOT a hot chick, not on the inside, but also not on the outside, lol!)
A comment like this shows tremendous ignorance. I am quite sure that Skylar did not undergo this massive and amazing transition in order to please you. Personally, I think that he looks fantastic, and more importantly, he is finally able to live in a body that feels like his own. Please don't take your own insecurities out on somebody else, especially someone who has been through all that Skylar has.
u didnt have to go to therapy at all first? :O did u just goto the endo first & skip that part but still get ur T??? :O if so thats amazing, ur lucky & i'm jealous XD
I dunno about what you looked like in person, but you look like a guy in this video at least, though maybe younger than you actually are. Still, I guess someone could doubt it and the last video I saw (15 months) there isn't anything girl left, so congrats!
I just wanted to say, looking back on this...if I didn't know you were transgendered, I would only thing you were younger; maybe that you'd hit puberty a bit later than was typical. Even here, you most certainly pass. Congratulations. :)
so basically you don't think he should have started T because now he looks masculine and therefore not attractive. that's so rude, wow. i'm amazed that you'd think that was even remotely appropriate to say.
im still confused "transition from female to male" your really a girl who had hormones and surgery to change in to a male. did you include a sex change? where did you get the money from?

It's crazy how much someone's voice affects how you perceive someone, His voice is so much deeper now.
Seriously!

DAT VOICE THOUGH! IT CHANGED SO MUCH!

There is a huge difference from now to this video. Good job! I am proud that you accomplish what you wanted to do.

Just speaking for myself, I am so proud of you. You've become an advocate for future generations just putting yourself out there. You are a fantastic individual and I hope you continue to find more and more happiness.
The video that changed the rest of my life 😌
Social contagion, through suggestion, then basically? Lovely. And not at all unexpected. Still hope you're well, though.
This is by far my FAVE Video ever, because it makes me realize how far you really have come in the last 5 years and what you have accomplished, I am SO PROUD OF YOU xx
Good for you bro! Amazing to see you change outside to match what is inside.
Yeah i'm totally going to watch all of your transition videos. This process is just amazing, you look amazing

Gosh, I remember reading this.

Whoah basically 7 years after and you've accomplished so much. I admire you Skylark, I wish my mom could be as accepting as yours.
This haircut is amazing! O_o
So I’m reading your memoir right now and just got to the part where you’re taking about taking this video and I realized I could look it up and re-watch it (cuz I watched it a ton when I was waiting to start T myself). But anyway just wanted to tell you that your book is so amazing and you’re so amazing and I’m so grateful that you do so much for the community. I know you really helped me when I felt so alone and misunderstood. So thanks. Thanks for existing!
Just read your memoir and I love seeing this. It makes me happy I documented my stuff pre t also
You're such an amazing person!
Wow! I just watched this video again just to see the changes and you look and sound so different. But in a really awesome way. :)
I just say your most recent video and its crazy how your voice and body has changed. It makes me cry with happiness to know that technology can do this for those who were born in the wrong body.
my sister wasn't even born and I wasn't even 1 when this happened. Im a trans guy in current days starting my transition. (still pre everything)
