My parents don't believe I'm a transgender male because of the fact that I wear pink or have worn dresses in the past. I was and still am a very girly person. But I AM a boy.
It's not how you dress that makes you you its how you feel and how you fit into society that you are living in that will give you your identity, if your parents are not Abel to see what you a trying to tell them and show them try to get a Dr to understand your feelings as some times adults will respond better to professionals ,and members its a big change for them to undergo as much as it will be for you if you change your gender status in society
TERF mum tells me stuff before I came out to her as transgender like "Girls can play with boys toys" Then says "you can't be a girl you played with boys toys" to me Bruh
Holly Rose It seems to be one of the hardest things to grasp. Among toxic masculinity, pink is frowned upon. But for the men who want to show that being a man has more to do with bravery than style, pink is commended. Yet to either, a trans man who wears pink is somehow still frowned upon. It took me the LONGEST time to understand, I mean, I knew it, but I wasn't really able to accept that if a man can wear and do anything, and a woman can wear and do anything, then a trans man or trans woman can do the same. I still very firmly believe that, but for the sake of my own sanity, around some people I don't do things that could be considered 'masculine' because it's just too much of a headache to explain to them. I'm a girl gamer, and I'm a lesbian, and I like shooters and puzzle games, and I like heavy metal and rock, and I do a lot of heavy lifting, and I am still a woman, because that's who I am.
Why do we only ever recognize in these films the masculine trans men and feminine trans women?? I swear if I hear one more limelight shed on "I was a tomboy and I guess that was a precursor" shit I am going to rip off my face and throw it at someone! I was never much of a tomboy. I was a whimsical fairytale inspired girly boy in a female child's body. I have always been a boy and me being a dreamer and enjoying the sensation of flowing fabrics around my body does not make me less of one. It's total crap that these films always say "there's not just one right way" yet inform everyone there is only one way because it pushes that trans men have to be overbearingly masculine and trans women have to be extravagantly feminine to have the identity respected as valid. Someone should really make a film about something other than these overly precise stereotypes
+valentinealtsoba An important point definitely. But don't you think you're being VERY presumptuous in assuming that all the people in this film are hyper masculine trans men and hyper feminine trans women? This film shows five different people whose experiences may have some similarities but are essentially all very different from each other. Some trans men are quite masculine and refer to early childhood as 'tomboyish', and some trans women are very feminine. There are plenty of people that also don't fit that, and their experiences are no less valid. What I find wild is that you are saying that this film pushes that you have to be a certain kind of 'trans' even though there's not just one right way. You have watched this film and have made complete assumptions of the people in it, made assumptions of how they identify. You say it pushes that you have to be a certain kind of trans, when nobody in this video is saying that and it's not expressed. The film looks into THEIR personal experiences and they're simply retelling parts of them. I do see your point and I do think it is great to bring about this conversation. But I do think you need to be more sensitive and aware of how you go about it because you are making big assumptions about the young people involved. At least one person in the video doesn't even state their gender or if they identify as feminine or masculine, and to be honest you're kind of looking at people and fitting them into labels that YOU think they are, without actually knowing. And yes, there should be something that looks particularly into people like feminine trans men, and masculine trans women and non-binary people and their experiences. That's important, and I'm not trying to derail that. But you're saying the people in this are 'overly precise stereotypes'. Well who is stereotyping them? Because it kinda seems like you yourself are. Some may have a more 'common narrative' than others or whatever. These are real people that opened up, not stereotypes. That itself is a bit of a shallow oversight on your end in my opinion.
I have struggled for a long time to try and conform to my assigned gender at birth but recently I have come to terms who I am... now just to tell my family🤗
This is a really amazing piece and has inspired me to start making my own films based on the experiences of those in the LGBTI community. I was just wondering what equipment was used to film this project? I love the quality of it, especially the audio
Hi Stephanie! Thanks for your comment. The team are chuffed that we've inspired you to tell more LGBTI* stories. We used a Sony FS-700 camera with a Metabones EF adapter and two Canon lenses (70-200mm and 24-70mm). For audio, we used a Rode NTG3 microphone and Sony UMW-1 radio mics fed into a Zoom H6 recorder. For lighting, we used a kit of 4 x 150w Dedolights, 2 x Kinoflo Divas and a bit of sunlight. The piece was edited in FCP7 and graded in Da Vinci Resolve. Hope this helps!
C'est une souffrance quotidienne que de s'apercevoir dans une glace et de voir quelqu'un d'autre, une partie de nous, certes, mais pas la plus importante, pas la plus dominante ! Et ce que l'on veut c'est simplement d'être nous-même... La vie est dure et la patience, le combat nous permet de profiter beaucoup plus après du bonheur de vivre !
I was wearing dresses and I was wearing girl's clothes I was more comfortable in boy's clothes but I was ok with both Even I am sensitive, not so masculine I'm transgender And I'm happy to be one And for one time in my life I might be even proud of myself
I've told my mum I'm her son not her daughter and she just says that even if I get the surgerys I'll always be a girl and I'll always be my birth name to her and I'll always be her little girl and that just makes me feel worse about myself like no body is going to accept me
Stop focussing on others acceptance, it's perception we learn as kids. Also try putting yourself in your mums shoes, I understand here maternal view off her child thats part of who she is. If it's meant to be and not just a phase or identity questioning, she'll accept it. Just be true to yourself and your reality not a false one created by perceived ideas and thoughts.
Brian Collins well,for example a female who never felt like a female because her brain function like a male's brain ..yes this exists it's called gender identity disorder. it's feeling trapped in your body because your brain and your whole existing is shouting something that this body is not you don't feel connected to it like you don't belong in there...it's not fun at all.
I'm not screwed....I'm not trapped..this is who I am in this physical universe and thats reality...accept yourself and be free or fight against yourself and be a prisoner...
hun sex is the gender your assinged at birth gender is all 50 plus there may be something wrong with me but theres more wrong with you if you can understand
They are all so goodlooking.
"there's no right way to be transgender. there's no wrong way to be yourself" :')

+Holly Rose tell them gender expression and gender identity is two different things
hey, me too. i was a pretty girly kid and didnt realise anything was up until around 10/puberty. i'm still a boy.
TERF mum tells me stuff before I came out to her as transgender like
"Girls can play with boys toys"
Then says "you can't be a girl you played with boys toys" to me
Bruh

The artist/photographer is really attractive. Apart from that little side note, this was a really good video :)
Agreed, I'm a sucker for dimples!

You can't just say that I'm transgender PLZ stop people get offended really easly just really a lot of people were boren this way so yeah
I couldn't agree more. I am always looking for more videos about transmen who are feminine, but it can be so difficult to find.
valentinealtsoba for real!! *^*
maybe the caption should read "in my high heels"

Nice. That was really well shot.

This video is so beautiful and powerful :)
I love this. Very powerful
C'est une souffrance quotidienne que de s'apercevoir dans une glace et de voir quelqu'un d'autre, une partie de nous, certes, mais pas la plus importante, pas la plus dominante !
Et ce que l'on veut c'est simplement d'être nous-même...
La vie est dure et la patience, le combat nous permet de profiter beaucoup plus après du bonheur de vivre !
Totally awesome job guys!
Ashleys eyelashes r GOALS!!! Omg she slays tf
this video makes me very happy. cause people in my life dont know what its like to be transgender
Why on earth would anyone ask about your genitals ?? That has never been something I would have even thought of ??
one of them sounds like michael clifford [im not sure of the gender, so I'll use they]
You all are an inspiration, thank you
They are all beautiful people
I wish you all the courage and resilience in the world, but the struggle is worth it.
Thank you beautiful people.
god I cannot like this video enough, thank you so so much
love this video
I was wearing dresses and I was wearing girl's clothes
I was more comfortable in boy's clothes but I was ok with both
Even I am sensitive, not so masculine I'm transgender
And I'm happy to be one
And for one time in my life I might be even proud of myself
Adrian Sarkisov hi
Ratan Srikanth hey
Where can I find the song at the end?
From the description: "'In My Shoes' features the original rap "Spring" by transgender artist, Harri Harding."
Darude - Sandstorm
They're all beautiful human beings
5:28 my gosh i couldn't even tell she used to be a male. Love her accent for some reason 😂
my heart goes out to these young people i hope they find peace and acceptance in their journey(s)
what is song title at the ending?
The curvy-haired blonde girl is really attractive
How can I tell my mom it's not a phase, im a boy not a girl
I'm crying!
You go Ruben!!!!!!
Wow! amazing
Thank you, so wonderful!
Thank you for this video...❤
I've told my mum I'm her son not her daughter and she just says that even if I get the surgerys I'll always be a girl and I'll always be my birth name to her and I'll always be her little girl and that just makes me feel worse about myself like no body is going to accept me

Great work , love it ! :-)

Alex Binns I wanna be a boy called jay

Someone should really buy them new shoes
you are all beautiful and inspirational people
Thank You. :)
I like the mtf she is beautiful :)
well... which one?
he. not she.
+Dione Robinson MTF stands for male to female... which means she is now a female... so, 'she'
Matthew G I meant all of them
Who else came from school
What is 'trapped' in the 'wrong' body?
Brian Collins well,for example a female who never felt like a female because her brain function like a male's brain ..yes this exists it's called gender identity disorder. it's feeling trapped in your body because your brain and your whole existing is shouting something that this body is not you don't feel connected to it like you don't belong in there...it's not fun at all.
another disorder...lets see..that's about 7,000 disorders we have now...like ADHD which is a crock
we're all screwed somehow and nobody s perfect . you can google gender identity disorder it is very much real.
I'm not screwed....I'm not trapped..this is who I am in this physical universe and thats reality...accept yourself and be free or fight against yourself and be a prisoner...
...and I'm not a victim, either...
The guy with the camera was really hot ngl
💗💗💗
DAT ONE GUY (BTW I say guy weather its girl or boy so) LOOKS LIKE KURT FROM GLEE ASDFGHJKL or its if curt EITHER WAY
non of them look like kurt... kurt barely looks human >_>
Joy O'Hanlon (●__●)
