As someone hoping to come out to family soon, and start transitioning in the years to come, this gave me so much hope. Thank you for posting this, I needed it a lot.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help you in this difficult time! It will get better. Trust me, it feels so much better to just be honest with people about this. Best of luck sweetie!
Not gonna lie, there was a minor shock, but when it comes down to it, you're still one of my fellow Marines. You're still part of the 4th Mar family. As I did then, and i still will, I will always support you. You fucking awesome! love ya! Ski
I wanted to thank you for posting this video, it gave me a nice pick me up when I needed it, and the comments are so uplifting. I think it is very brave of you to post this and hope that I will be able to be this brave in the future.
You will. You will know when it's time, when you are ready. Don't let anyone else try to control your transition timeline. I'm sure you will be just fine!
Good for you! You are a brave individual and I applaud you. The world would be such a better place if nobody had to fear being themselves. Awareness is where it's at - I'm with you 100%
What a roller-coaster of emotions 😭 i am 2 months hrt and i mean... the tears rolled when i watched the part about making yourself someone your not and about the s-side part, then WAAMMMMM the happy tears rolled in as you realised, accepted and became the true you.. the amount of happiness bouncing from your face is amazing! Thankyou for sharing your story 😍
Being a transgender female myself who didn’t start her until age 57, I say to you “live your heart”. Never be afraid. I am at 14 months now. Happiest I’ve ever been. BZ
Hey I chose Sophie as my name too! I know you probably won't see this because this is 7 years old but thank you for making this video :) I love how you can really see yourself smiling more and more as the pictures continue
That s called disphoria, when you feel you don t match your own body... It s not a game or an abomination, like ignorant people think, these people suffer, and deserve to be happy! All the best... 🌹❤️❤️
Sophie you are a perfect example of a human being, All of the characteristics, determination, empathy, courage, funnininess (if that's even a word XD) are displayed by you, if I walked past you in the street I would have no idea of who you once were, you truly have been reborn and I wish you the best life possible, maybe one day someone could call you mum !! Yours sincerely Sam
Thank you Sam! I appreciate your support and compliments. I am making progress with myself, both inside and out, very slowly but it is progress. I am hoping that I might be able to help others do the same! Your kind words were just the pick me up I needed today!
+Serenity Chacon I am so glad that this has been able to help you... even just a little. I wish you the best of luck and so much love. It is a hard road, but it does get better. I would never go back to the person I was pretending to be. If you ever need anything, please let me know.
A Mind Unbroken Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I don't know why, but it just makes me feel happy, and hopeful. Again, Thank you very much!
first thing … Thank You! for serving our country 🇺🇸 i myself am married to a USMC … so um, i know you don’t know me but i just wanted to say that you are a beautiful lady … ma’am 🙇🏻
Getting ready to visit a therapist on Monday who specializes in this sort of thing. Squid who hauled you cargo around, or at least the air wings. Taken a slightly different path to get there, but still walking it :). Glad to see that you are doing well there!
Wow. I'm the other way round (FtM). You absolutley do have my respect. I think for MtFs it is much harder to transition and to come out to everybody. Well done and good luck!
Thank you! It has been a difficult road so far but I have never been better. Thanks for your support and I wish you the best of luck in your own journey.
The 1st thing to remember is what i call the "Terran Prime Directive". Every one of us has the right to Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness. You Sophie, having volunteered for active military service, have even more right to live your life as you see fit. To hell with the haters, be who you want to be, and if i may quote the great bard Seuss, "those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind".
Thank you for the kind words and advice! I have been telling myself this over and over for the last two days. Coming out to everyone and exposing myself like this was horrifying, but I am so glad I did it and so much happier. Being honest with others, whether they accept it or not, feels so much better than living a lie.
Semper Fidelis! It takes a lot of balls (pun intended) to do what you're doing. I knew there were gays in the Marines but I read somewhere there's a high percentage of active duty Marines who might identify as transgender. I really hope they come to terms to their identity and not commit suicide. We don't need more suicides for active duty, reserves and veterans. On your video you said you thought about committing suicide. I'm glad you decided to live your live and not take the "easy" road. I wish the best and oorah!
I'm glad you chose to watch. Hopefully this helps to educate you and others in a particular circumstance that you may not be very familiar with. Transgender people are twice as likely to have served in the military. We are out there. I know a lot of transgender service members. .
A lot of people need to understand being trans is literally a battle field in your head it takes real bravery especially to transition m to f any man can conquer with the bravado of a stoic frame but to own your identity that has the foundation of femininity and not waver in your mission to be your true self takes a whole nother level of courage that many “men” will never experience. Trans people have more courage then so many men who even as men never do anything with their lives and just follow the heard get a job they hate drink beer every evening after work and have a wife they aren’t really in love with

+RACHEL ANNE Taylor You are so right. It was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. Thank you for your support. :)

this is why im scared to transition 💀
GloryIsGlo why, love?
Why this people give some bad vision, seems like they easily become beautiful . Fact is they picked best pics and photoshop them uploaded
+Max Wen I have tried to be 100% authentic and provide pictures that highlight the transition for those who are planning on doing the same thing.
