      You try so hard to fit when you are young, like it's the most important thing. Then, when you get older and mature, you appreciate and embrace all your quirky differences. I remind all the young people I interact with that it's okay, and we are all feeling this way.

    I will never understand how LGBT+ people can demonize detransitioners when our movement is all about acceptance and love! I wish you all the best honey and there are queer people who still value you and accept your decision! I’m one of them! 💜

      They demonize detransitioners because its reality knocking at their door , the detransitioners also knew adamantly that they were living in the wrong body which later the realized they were wrong and then had the strength to detransition even with the stigma surrounding it .The others are so scared to detransition because of that stigma,so its easy for them to ridicule the brave.A lot know they have done the wrong thing ,but they have damaged their bodies so severely and cant go back,a lot have committed life away its horrible l do feel so bad for them, to believe that something is so right to later realize its so wrong.

      It definitely doesn't stand for 'love and acceptance' anymore. It now stands for authoritarianism, bullying, bigotry, misogyny, obscenities and homophobia. This is all since the 'T' took over.
      Your 'movement' is now abusive. There is absolutely no pride to be found in it.

    I'm a 62 years old gay man and we fought for non conformity and seeing people thinking in the recent decade that they have to be the other sex so they can fit in society is a huge step backward. We fought against the stereotypes and somehow a movement was created to enforce it. Gender Dysphoria was extremely rare and should go back to be extremely rare. I will support the transsexuals who went through a long journey to be who they are. The rest, it's only a trend. When the trend will end, it'll be a mess.

    So let me get this straight. The trans/gay community accepted you for wanting to be trans and encouraged you to be who you wanted to be then, but now that you truly found yourself and are being who you want to be now, they won't accept you? That is so messed up and is what makes some (not all) trans/gay people so hypocritical. Supporting one's sexuality or gender identity isn't about creating a cult, it's about creating a world where we can all be comfortable with who we are. And it's also okay if who we are changes over time.

      They do the same to bisexuals. Bisexuals in a straight relationship = bad evil straights that aren't lgbt. Bisexuals in a gay relationship = good, supporting the cause. The cause itself is far more important to them than the very "inclusivity" and "acceptance" they preach.

      @@agnes1250 Well, Calvin deleted my initial comment and that goes to show who is trying to control who. It wasn't derogatory but he felt he didn't want a counter opinion or a rebuttal on his channel.
      I've been castrated and use low dose estrogen as HRT but still present as a gay male. I don't accept the physical changes that testosterone puts a male through and felt comfortable around Tanner 3 development. This gives me that opportunity as opposed to losing my hair, becoming red face and bellicose, and developing aggressive tendencies associated with men. Men cause harm and commit 95% of violent crime and that isn't a social construct. That fact is throughout many different countries and societies with the only constant being testosterone production.
      I don't have physical issues and am easily mistaken for a teenager and I'm in my late 40's. And yes, I'm happy to hang around a few adult males who are like myself. I don't do a full integration like Calvin did by encroaching on biological spaces. It seems Calvin likes to have it both ways where he encroaches for a time and that admits that he violated these women by gaining access. If you ask me, maybe he should be charged with a felony if he feels that way.
      Your vote against our healthcare is practicing medicine without a license. You'll no doubt win in the short term but I have no problem denying medicine and vaccines to someone who does not let doctors practice. Did you hear about the harm of birth control and how condoms are obscene? That's where this is headed and headed for your household because legislators and psychologists are using the exact same arguments they used to ban gender medicine.

    I started transitioning at 28 and called it off at 38. I lived as a gay man and I never fit into that identity. I was always feminine and people always treated me differently because they could see the difference in me. I called it off because it was extremely difficult trying to reach my goals. Between the expenses, my fathers crap genes that made hair removal impossible, and my mother passing away suddenly I threw in the towel. Not because I’m not still trans, but because emotionally and financially I couldn’t fight anymore. I’m on a journey at nearly 41 trying to love myself as I am. I don’t regret starting down the path because I learned so much. Gender is deeply personal and I don’t blame other trans people for turning back. It’s hard and society is ignorant af. I wish we made space for more gender expressions and maybe people wouldn’t feel the need to transition in the first place.

    thank you for sharing your story. I saw my daughter go through something similar when she wanted to identify as a male, but so much of it was just about trying to figure out who she was. Adopted, biracial, living abroad, child of the divorced parents. It was very confusing time for her, and gender was one thing she could look at that was concrete. Now she’s decided to accept that she’s a woman and even is changing her name back. But I think it’s just normal process that she went through. I told her that when I was young woman, we all wanted to be men because men were powerful. We wore big shoulder pads, and had big hair and were jerks because we thought that was where the power was. I never felt like I fit into any community until I became a parent. And it was my children who affirmed my identity and who loved me for who I was. Now they’re growing up and moving on so I have to embrace the love that they’ve given me and now love myself for who I am. I’m almost 60 so I’m very happy to know that you are doing it sooner.

I had home births and breastfed :) and to think, if i were young today, in this atmosphere of propaganda and so much 'affirming', i would have most likely lopped off what fed my children so beautifully. i prayed for 2 boys and was blessed. i feared trying to raise a girl. kudos to you 1000 times for getting your daughter through hard times and back from the brink. hugs and kisses to you both xoxo

    You're not alone Calvin, there's others of us just like you out here in the world! I enjoyed getting this very personal look into your journey & saw many similarities to my life experiences. Truly the journey "within" is the key to the whole process of growing as a human being. I'm so glad you found your way to more clarity about yourself & becoming comfortable with who you are. You're an inspiration even to an old queen like myself who has 40 years on you. I came out of my transition phase in my late 20s & early 30s, that was in the early 1990s & our story is very much the same. I was clueless about what I was doing, but as soon as I stopped, I became a pariah to my community & I had to restart my life for the third time, but that last time I had discovered my personal strength & self worth originated from within myself. Somehow the journey brought me to my authentic effeminate gay male self & I could see myself clearly & my relationship with my self has only blossomed. So all the hardships & being ridiculed & thrown away by my so-called supportive community saved me. I was standing on the precipese of body modification & I barely escaped unscathed. I have few physical damages, while my deepest & most painful memories are sourced from the alienation of my once supportive community, they left the most mental & spiritual scars upon my psyche. I have had to reinvent myself & find a whole new community & family, which was hard, but I continue to grow from believing in my self rather than looking for acknowledgement from outside world. My personal power is sourced from my inner work & I keep an eye out for others who have done the work of self-examination & have gotten comfortable with their flaws & accepting of others for where they are in their personal journeys. Great job Calvin! If you're ever in NYC hit me up, I've always got a lasagna in the oven & fresh brewed iced tea in the fridge and you are more than welcome to come over for a kiki.❤😂

    The main thing is that you are happy kn your own skin. I'm happy you are feeling good about yourself in the body you were born in and I would've been happy if you only felt this if you fully transitioned. Im pretty sure it was tough to try to figure out who you are and then being rejected when you realised you're not who you thought you were. I'm really sorry you had to go through all that and I always wish to be present when I hear such stories to provide support.
    You are beautiful inside and out, don't ever forget that. Sending you hugs and kisses!

    As a well-adjusted gay man, I'm considered a transphobe because I dare say I was confused too once. I didn't have the social pressure back then to have to perform, and mutilate or medicate a mental health issue as is the case now, and good old fashioned talk therapy is what got me to a place of quiet authentic pride. 🌈💛🙏🌍🕊

    I've been hearing so many sad stories about transitioning and detransitioning, most have be full of regrets. You would be such an inspiration to many who felt like you did and you could be such a good mentor to those who are thinking about transitioning. Most times people just need to feel like they are truly heard and that who they are is more than enough. But these centers that encourage people to go through the process are not there to empower people who feel most vulnerable and disempowered, but, rather, they are there to make a profit for medical centers, all the while ruining young lives.

      One reason people should wait until they’re at least 25 to make any irreversible changes to their bodies.

    Opening up about this all deserves respect, young man. I don't think I could ever share vulnerable parts of my life so publicly. However, this topic is an important one to share, because there may be many young people out there who go through a crisis of their identity. The gender is never the problem. No, the problems are often much, much deeper. And some may unconsciously use gender to avoid dealing with the real problems. So dealing with the inner healing and redemption should be top priority. Fun fact from developmental psychology: teenagers do not possess the ability of reflective learning yet. This comes with age, actually. Around the age of 19/20 we start developing the ability to reflect on our past and learn from it and he also experience healing. Many blessings and Shalom on your journey. ❤

  • @xcountryrunner9
    @xcountryrunner9 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    That says a lot that immediately once you detransitioned, that the "community" rejected you. Its like they only care about you if you fit one thing but then once you actually find your own truth and authenticity they immediately feel threatened by that (because many of them are also probably just confused) and shut you out. They're clinging to an identity for dear life thinking it makes them suddenly whole and worthy so anything that questions that or places doubt is immediately rejected by the ego. That means it's not really a community of love but a community of fear, ego and "us vs. them" mentality.

When you take the time to think things through, that is G-d’s time moving you towards where you need to be. You are a journey, a trip, an adventure. Draw from it what you will, learn, love and accept who you are. As an outsider looking in, you are perfect. You have always been. You just needed time to realize it. Enjoy the ride, the journey, the trip, it’s meant to teach you about yourself. You’re smarter today than you were yesterday and more beautiful now, than before. I wish you continued success, always.

    That’s why in my country you gotta go through transition with medical and psychological supervision, no matter if you choose the public health system or decide to go private medical care.

Trans ppl do exist, but not all effeminate gay man is trans…
