I hope you're doing better now ❤️ I know how you feel, there will always be people to listen to your worries and thoughts and to help you becoming happy again!
J G I only just got diagnosed, I was already suicidal before I came out as trans due to family issues. But i have a therapist, psychologist, and another person with a title I can’t remember lmao. But thank you for caring, I appreciate that so much x
@Alexander Curtis I developed ed tendencies recently and it actually clashes with my dysphoria? Because of the difference between my chest size any body type, the smaller I get the more noticeable my chest gets (Which is already noticeable as all hell ugh) which is so goddamn frustrating. My main point of dysphoria is my chest and I fucking hate it.
It helps weirdly much. I remind myself about things like, "your chest will one day be flat" and "we might be skinny fat, but we're hitting that gym daily and one day we're gonna be a god" and "cr1tikal is only 5'6". Height is how you carry yourself." It's really hard at first, but if you ever feel like a faker or like it's never going to be okay, just remember that you're making an active decision and dedicating a lot of your life to what most people take for granted: your gender. And that's just the most badass thing ever.
I've been doing this for a good while and it actually has helped me accept the extra bits of fat on my body. I am a little thicker than the average biological girl so not only does it help with my dysphoria but It helps an oddly large amount with an eating disorder of mine.
I'm actually non-binary and oh my God dysphoria is so weird for non-binary people. This video actually helped me take my mind off of things for a while.
I just recently figured out I'm nb and It's so weird, I wear a dress and my dysphoria is like: You look like a cis girl. Or I wear a tie and my Dysphoria says: You look like a very masculine lesbian. I hate it so much T^T
@@watchmenaenae-n5b Was that an oopsie? That was an oopsie. Well then, CONGRATULATIONS! I must commend your bravery, I know it can be very painful just to be yourself at times, but that only enhances the good times.
They keep getting tighter and tighter which can break your ribs, ruin your spine, cause breathing issues, etc. And then you won't be able to get top surgery :(
My mom: I GET ur noNbiNARY AnD alL BUT YoUlL gROw OUt of it I dID Me: im not growing out of it, will you use my proper pronouns please for once My mom: THE INTERNET TOLD YOU TO THINK IM NOT SUPPORTIVE
I agree with the "going to conventions" part. When I started cosplaying as a guy at conventions, I recognized how right it felt and how amazing it was, when people called me a guy. Going to conventions helped me so much, with figuring out my gender identity. So. I can definitely recommend it, even if going might feel a little scary at first. Side note: you meet so many nice and accepting people at cons. It's wonderful!
You can meet some amazing like minded people that way. And best part is if you ever get too shy just go to the game room and watch people play DDR for a few hours lol
@@RadPaxOfficial Yup! You definitely do. And yeah, going to the game room is the perfect solution, if you're too shy. I've sometimes had a few people asking me, if I wanted to join..whatever game they were playing. It's nice 👌🏻
My mom was highly against of cutting my hair but since I was in clothing making school I made it up that "I accidentally cut it of while I was leaning to the fabric I was cutting", and year after year I was able to get shorter cut as I made it clear with changing my clothing preference too. I finally have the haircut I love and I can just trim the sides and try to keep the manbun middle not too long so it looks alright. It shouldn't be the way that parents decides for their kids or don't let them be theirselves.. Lots of strenght for everyone!!
Jalle my mom says I can’t cut my hair shorter than my shoulders because it “gets poofy” or something like that but I think I’m getting her used to the idea lol
(Agender AFaB here) A bit late but my mum was also against cutting my hair short, probably because the word “short” brought up images of buzz cuts for her, but I showed her a chin-length wolf cut(which was what i was thinking about from the start) and she agreed and a couple months ago we got my hair cut to a length that i think suits me :D
Thank you so much for trying to understand, I wanted to thank you because people in my town are very trans and homophobic and tend to beat them including me. Thank you so much
I have a very hard time dealing with gender dysphoria because I’m Non Binary and a lot of people think that it’s made up, but I don’t care what other people believe, I am what I am and I feel what I feel and not even I can change that. I do have a few friends that accept me and call me a they/them. But my family doesn’t accept me and I’m their precious little daughter. No, I hate that. I’m Non Binary but I’d much rather be called a boy than a girl. Also I need to know: Am I the only one that literally *dies* inside whenever someone says ladies and gentlemen?
Same. The worst part for me is when I go somewhere new, and I'm read more as male (I cut my hair and wear traditionally masculine clothing). I feel really good until my family calls me "she" or uses my birthname, and everyone around me immediately switches from calling me something like "buddy" or "kid" to "pumpkin" or "sweetie".
i got male clothing today as well, I felt so confident I was so close to cutting my long hair, I actually had the sizzers (i give up on spelling) in my hand but then i calmed down... no more coffee for me xD
@@madiskorey I got my friend to get me one (we exchanged a maid outfit for a binder) and I'm still waiting for my binder to come in but try to get a friend to order it for you! I'm not out and my family isn't supper accepting but I felt like I really needed this so my friend decided to help! If to you can't you may be able to find giveaways but they're random but it's worth a try
Honestly, im a 14 year old trans guy, and i go to school with people who knew me before i was trans and had long ass hair. And now that i look more masc.. I want to wear hairclips in my hair.. I want to dress how i like but.. I'm happy with my gender and my appearance, so i think I'm ready. But a lot of people know I'm trans and it will make people think I'm a girl.. What should i do..
From a 22 year old trans guy, do what you want. Wear what you want. It may affect whether or not you pass so keep that in mind, but if you carry yourself with confidence and correct others if/when they misgender you it helps out a lot. A lot of gender presentation is nonverbal, too. If you walk a certain way, carry yourself a certain way, and pay close attention to and mimic the body language and speech patterns of cis men (speaking slower and more directly, speaking less, using fewer filler words such as "like") , it does a surprising amount to help. Don't let that keep you from being yourself, of course, but that's stuff you can try if you'd like. Best of luck, dude. I'm proud of you.
@@Solaceon That non-verbal stuff is very true. When I was still in the closet I walked like a motherfucking goblin, exactly like Shinjiro Aragaki from Persona 3, which caused back problems and it's essentially the one thing people mistook me for a male for, bc if I was sitting on a desk that wouldn't reveal my stance I would get identified as a female (and then I'd be in high spirits for the rest of the day xd) . Now I walk like a top model because it comes naturally to me and I only needed to do that one thing for people to properly recognize my gender, so it's not just your appearance, it's also your behaviour and mannerisms. Of course, appearance also matters, but that comes later and more slowly.
To my fellow fem folks: I'm an AFAB person who literally put up with her mother shaving her legs *for her* (yes, just legs; it was a compromise) and I stopped that shit the moment I realized it wasn't what _I_ wanted. I shave my armpits twice a week and that. is. it. There is nothing wrong with a hairy woman or a hairy feminine-presenting person, and don't do what I did and put up with other people enforcing stuff onto you. It's your body, your identity, your choices. Just be you and try to surround yourself with as many people as you can who can accept that. Sincerely, your friendly gender non-conformist
Yesterday my cousin looked at me disgusted realizing I had as much leg hair as him and kept on telling me I NEED to shave because I'm "a girl" (afab, questioning nonbinary spectrum) and I pointed out that girls can have it how they feel comfortable! Boys too and if they want to shave they shave , if not then not. He was like "Boys who do that are gay. Nothing against gays - but that's gay" and it pissed me off to be honestly.
@@thewitheredsouls I feel you. I've dealt with being referred to as "unhealthy" or "gross" for just body hair. I'm lucky that I have a friend in a similar identity situation to me who doesn't shave, as well as a friend who doesn't for religious reasons. People just don't understand it; it's so normal now to be hairless below the eyes for "females" that people make terrible assumptions about normal human body hair, but _only_ if it's on a person perceived as such. If it's a "male" that shaves then there's suddenly a problem with _not_ having body hair too.
also everyone just looks a bit more cool with hair warriors don't shave (to my history knowledge) which makes people not shaving cool and if you do shave because you want to then thats also cool because theres less chance of your hair getting catch on something

I wish my parents would get me a binder,but I do have a lot of problems with my breathing so I don't even know if I can bind. Your voice is so relaxing! Your advice is always helpful! I recently got my first genderfluid haircut (I told my parents my hair got in the way when I draw) and I'm super happy about it! Love your videos! 💜
Derpycheese11 If you have breathing problems i would recommend a binder 2 or 3 size larger, it will be easier to breath and should still flatten it to an extent. If you don’t want to do that, get 2 sports bras and wear them together (would also recommend a larger size for both because you don’t want to mess up your lungs more) and wear baggy sweatshirts and shirts too hide your chest
Hey, i have a ton of brwtahi g and other issues, i also have a broken rib or two. It's really hard at first to try and wear a brinder for more the an hour or when i had to go out. I did a camping trip for three days where i was running around all day, no breaks trying to wear a binder the whole tjme. Take breaks, do some brwyhing exsersizes, sooner or later it will get easier!
I have the same problem I have really bad asthma I usually only behind for five hours and only put my binder on minutes before I have to leave the house
I look in the mirror. Then I just say "that's not me, that is just a girl. Not me" and I just pretend that I am invisible and that is my imaginary friend that I can see. Weird, I know. But for me it works.
That gave me an idea! You can think that you’re a spirit who possessed a body trying to run away from the spirit police, and tried to run away so you took over a newborn baby, but you didn’t check if you liked the body or not, you just took it quickly
I'm trans to non-binary and I recently came out to all my friends and asked them to call me Kai instead of my dead name and then they kept saying my preferred name😊. And if it isn't going that way for someone reading my comment, I am so so sorry❤️
Im not trans myself, but I am a part of the lgbtq+ community with a trans friend and I try to be as supportive as I can with this kind of thing. I loved this video even if I didn’t directly relate to it. Love you pax and I really appreciate everything you do to help people, it’s amazing
I told my mom I want a binder for cosplay. She doesn’t approve of me doing male characters or of people changing their bodies. I’m just trying to find out myself some more. Definitely do not feel that feminine. Recently I’m thinking more gender fluid like.
Im so glad that my dyphoria is usualy so weak and that clothes mostly dont make dysphoric as long my body shape isnt too obvious. I think I will go to pride rocking a flowercrown. I just need to train more and get my body used to wear a binder for 8 or atleast 7 h because I dont want to go without it this year. For the emergency I am gonna find out in beforehand where to find bathrooms and take a loose sportsbra with me in case I need to take it off
My mom: I don’t want you to do/ watch anything that has to do with gender Me practically mentality ill from no socialization from no one understanding:... My mom: what’s wrong???
same. My mom will berate me for my gender constantly then literally say I have "a phone problem". Like yes mom how tf am I supposed to talk to people im homeschooled, in a pandemic, and you never talk to me without yelling.
I’m only 12 and I can’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore, I’m super closeted and school is starting soon, so I’m only going to be misgendered more, I cannot stand being referred to as female, and I’m too scared to tell my parents I don’t know what to do
I'd try to do any masculine thing you can get away with. You could also try to find a gender neutral or masculine sounding nickname for people to call you. You could also say you'd like to use men's deodorant because it "works better." Try to wear jeans too.
This video helped me soooooooooooooooooo much thank you so much And to all trans mans and ladies out there i love and support you sooooooo much . I'm proud of you 💙💖💟💖💙
His voice was teetering on the edge, I feel. Not like I'm one to talk, my voice is too low for my liking, but if he ever manages to get hormones that'll really help him.
Charles Fournier Phaneuf it might be mean but it's true, a lot of trans people don't pass like they want and it's nobody's fault if they get misgender without the person actually knowing anything
I LITERALLY AGREE WITH THIS WHOLE VIDEO, I'm a trans woman and the head hair is so important to me and body hair makes me very disforic and I'm really tall which is annoying. I connect with this video so much and I love the end message "Do what makes you happy" 😄
I have a friend who came out of the trans closet to me after his girlfriend and i am ashamed to say i wasn't as accepting because our whole lives i called him "sister" and not "brother" and i have to say this. DON'T tell them you won't accept! Trust me, it hurts not just them but yourself as well because you will have to live with them suffering in front of you and you not seeming to care! After a few days, i messaged him and said "i love you, bro. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" He did and we are both happy. Even if you don't believe in it, at least learn to coexist with them and use the pronouns: they/them. I am mistreated because i am not "changing my trans and gay friends" and will fight to the death for them but i don't care!! I love you, for being you, and as long as you don't have sex with animals or are a criminal in any way, you are cool in my book. Stay safe, and stay hydrated. 😊🤜🤛👍👐👏💜🖤
This video really helped me ^^ I've been dealing with gender dysphoria for an amount of time and since I'm living in a country where the LGBTQ+ community isn't excepted it's very hard for me. Since most of my friends from my old school is very religious((hecc, even my best friend's for 10 years is very religious)) if I open up my problem with them they will disown me calling me a traitor towards my religion and stuffs…. But luckily I still have friends from my new school and some of my old friends supporting me to be who I am. Though since I'm going to cosplay as a guy today I'm very excited of how the things might turn out ((I'm cosplaying as Michael Mell btw)) ^^
your videos about this topic always makes me feel better about myself and i'm so greatful to hear that i don't have to do all of the stereotypical gender things i'm 14 and i believe i have dysphoria and truly believe i'm a guy and being able to wear short hair and wear baggy clothes and still be able to draw cutsy stuff and not feel fully weird is the best feeling in the world thank you for teaching me to love myself
gadsvfsad I can't believe you uploaded on my birthday. I'm not trans myself but I really like listening to what you have to so about dysphoria and what your experience has been like. I really hope you are able to stop your eating disorder. Keep up the good work my dude ❤️
Donating hair is a wonderful thing to do. I know having long hair sucks but just think how happy someone else will be with a beautiful wig from the hair you donated.
A quick aside for any ftm/nb/ just afabs in general, take breaks, drink water and keep pushing through within reason. I'd also suggest lower singing tutorials like the ones from Geoff castellucci or David Larsson. Like even of you aren't super good at singing it helps warm up your vioce muscles. STRETCH. Stay safe y'all. 😊
A lot of my favorite male band members are very short. Ranging from 5'5 to 5'7 ish, and it makes me feel more comfortable about myself for being a trans-dude at the height of 5'1
Catholic school really messed me up bad. I went there from pre-elementary school to middle school. I had a really shitty time there thanks to my teachers bullying me at a really young age (3 or something) for not acting like a typical boy and telling me that I'm going to hell. This experience scared me of being myself for years and I tried so hard to be "normal" but it never worked. Middle school was the worst thing I've ever gone through in my life. Not only was I getting yelled at and bullied by literally everyone but on top of that puberty started taking effect. I was just so sad all of the time and couldn't stand looking at myself. Puberty made really masc., to the point where I had a full blow mustache in 7th grade. It being a Catholic school I was never educated on trans people, gay people, etc. so I had no clue what was going on with me and never told anyone what I was feeling bc it wouldn't be "manly". I honestly believed what people were telling me and thought I was a terrible person. Thankfully for me Coronavirus shut down my school and that really gave me time to try and find out what is going on with me. Thankfully I did and glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
same! my bf is trans and he tells me about his dysphoria all the time. it’s rlly upsetting that he has to go through that so i’ve been doing a lot of searching about how to help and support him. i also understand more about this topic, so yea! ❤
Hey RadPax! This helped so much and I love watching your videos. I took your advice about the cold, and I'm feeling better and healthier. Thanks so much for this!
Whenever i get dysphoric i write a letter to one of my teachers who im out to. I've wrote so many letters and i've giving her one (i get her letter back tomorrow) and we just write letters to each other. Honestly it helps me so much and it's such a good way to get out your feelings. what's the best thing about it though is you get to sign your chosen name which is what makes me the happiest about it.
Im non binary and when I look at my chest I feel terrible. In my school changing room we are all separated by gender but I go into the toilets because my anxiety is through the roof. This helped......thank you
mtf trans, dysphoria and trying to stay cis is impossible, it's a different type of uncomfortableness and it's really strong, I can't do activities without dysphoria this pretty much helped, thank you
i think not enough people talk about how important its to look like you want to look, a friend of mine said once that looking cute was a huge motivation to exist and i couldnt agree more
As someone who is really only JUST coming to terms with themselves, this video is honestly really helpful to me. Not just for the tips you give, but also just...being able to relate, I guess is a good way to put it? Feeling NOT alone in everything can be really comforting. My voice and hair (which used to be really long) have always been issues for me. Cutting my hair has honestly made me feel SO much better. For a long time I really wasn't able to cut it because, as supportive as my family USUALLY is, anytime I cut my hair from long to shoulder length I'd hear a lot of comments about long hair being "so much prettier" or something, even though when it WAS long, no one ever saw it down. That had enough of an impact on me that I didn't actually cut my hair SHORT until...like this past Christmas, even though I've been moved out for almost 5 years. I've been pitching my voice down more, but old habits die hard where I used to be in customer service and when I I talk to people when I go out, my high-pitched super feminine customer service voice comes out. It's really frustrating but I have trouble stopping it, so it's still an issue, but it's getting better. I DEFINITELY agree with the clothing tip. I've started investing more in clothes that work better for me and it's made me feel so much better.
I’m not trans but my love and support goes out to them. I have a transgender friend and I still love him he means the world to me!!! And I wouldn’t want him to live his life with hatred towards himself. So, if your Trans or Non-binary just know that they’re are people out here that LOVE and SUPPORT you and we’ll be there for YOU no matter what. ❤️❤️ Love yourself And be who you wanna be 😊
I've had gender dysphoria for years now. It's not fun. I've had times when I just layed in bed and couldn't move because I was so uncomfortable in my own body. But I'm doing alot better now. I just bought a binder a couple of weeks ago and I got a new hair cut. I'm also saving some money for a top surgery, I still havent came out to my parents tho. And thanks for the video it helped me alot. I related to alot of the stuff you said. :)
thx for this video my boyfriend come out as a trans men (i thought i was having a girlfriend) and it really halped me understand whats going on in his mind
I'm non binary and have been feeling so much dysphoria today and have been feeling like garbage from it. This really helped keep my mind off of it for a bit, so thanks.
[ she/they ] *there’s super odd things that make me feel more masc??? um yeah lemme list them bc hopefully they will help u!* -short nails!!! -combat boots -dark undereyes (contour) -chains! -holding like, cans? *not so odd things now!* -cologne -binding (SAFELY) -lowering my voice -baggy clothes -hair up (but i also feel masc with it down??) *hopefully this helps*
i'm not trans but i feel non-binary. i'm in the middle of middle school and i don't feel that comfortable being labeled as a female, but i'm still happy with my body (i honestly don't mind being called she/her at all, but i feel more at home being called they/them.) i experimented by going on a website and telling people my pronouns were they/them and i felt so refreshed. i'm also agender due to past experiences that i'm not going to say but i told my friends and they accept me and that's all i need in life, to be honest. i'm not telling my parents anytime soon because i have heard my father make sexist and homophobic comments before and my biggest fear in life is not being accepted. my mother on the other hand is accepting, and she even asked me if i was a lesbian one time, she has a huge mouth. if i told her she would tell everyone she knew in seconds and find some excuse to cover it up. something like "i know you told me not to tell anyone, but [name] is so close to family that i just had to tell her." that happened when i got my first period and i told her not to tell anyone, and i even said [name's] name specifically because my mom tells her every little thing about me. i haven't even met her and she knows everything.
I tricked my mom into the idea of me owning a binder when I had homecoming and they wanted me to wear a dress we already had, problem was my chest was to big so I was like, "We can get something to make the smaller." so they bought one but it never came in rip. It was a cheap $15 strapless binder and it never even came in!! Then I got a cheap one from amazon but I don't remember how, I didn't buy it though but I might have just used the dress excuse. Finally I got a job and bought a gc2b one, it was a size to big though but it worked fine. Over the summer I got another job where I finally bought the right sized one and it has been great😁 My mom has said she wished I would just let my chest be but she can't exactly tell me not to, so she just deals. Same with my hair. I'm 19 now and my most recent haircut has been one of my shortest ones. She doesn't like it but she at least says, "It's your hair do what you want."
I am actually a Nonbinary person (well I was born female but I'm still going through dysphoria and am not sure if I'm NB or Trans) I usually get very dysphoric Because I hate how my body looks so "feminine" and I always feel uncomfortable when someone calls me a her or girl. I like it when people refer to me as a boy or even when a stranger refered to me as "young boy" that made me obnoxiously happy. This video helped a lot and thank you for that. I haven't come out to anyone yet but when I feel ready I'm planning to
Ever since I have found your channel I have been so happy :) I don't see many trans you tubers/story time animators and I'm so glad I found you ^w^ you inspired me to come out to my family and they accepted me
so im not dysphoric but watching these videos helped me understand more about it, i think that it shouldn't really matter what you are, as long as you love yourself and acknowledge that others might be distant, life could become easier, im not saying everyone will be distant but im saying there are conditions within family which create the xenophobes and people of that nature, even with these people existing there will always be others who will love and respect you, you can make healthy relationships, you can succeed in overcomming any insecurities you may have about dysphoria, having friends that have dysphoria has shown me both sides of the same coin, the positive and negative side, although im really neiher, i can comprehend that people with dysphoria have a lot going on, as for people who aren't i can see why they dislike the idea of it and why they don't understand it but as i said before watching these videos helped me understand more about dysphoria, both sides have been forced to live a certain way and until we can find out a way to deal with it unfortunately we have to live like this tl;dr watching these videos helped me understand and i hope you know people care about you, yes you can make good and healthy relationships. remember to look at both sides of the coin.
On bad days I always come listen to this video, it helps. Some days more than others. But it always reminds me I’m not alone and the healthy ways to cope. Thank you 💙💖 💖💙
A tip for FTM trans people who cant get a binder (closeted reasons) is asking a friend to buy it for you, or pay them and have it shipped to their house so your parents dont know about it, then they can give it to you..or just make one (AS LONG AS ITS SAFE-)
I've been dealing with a lot of dysphoria lately, and this video really helped me out and made me feel a bit happier. thank you so much for trying to help people with their feelings, you're an amazing human. also, amazing drawing! looks good :3
About the binder, I don’t have one and I have money but I’m afraid my parents finding it in the mail before me . Anyway, atm I just layer a lot of small tops and a pantyhose (look it up lol) and it fucking sucks because it takes a lot of time and it moves a lot and is very bulky but at least it serves its purpose. Most times I pass, but of course those who know me still call me female, but those who don’t consider me a boy and even though I’m still getting used to it it makes me happy, a little awkward but happy (people at the store mostly or really small kids at job or really old people) because I consider myself too socially anxious to be recognized as a boy so it helps
That's why I ran back here too. Dysphoria is normally not a problem but shit it just hits me so hard sometimes Edit: Today it came again. Shit. And I'm in bed tucking, once again on the verge of tears... yay
When you started talking about cosplay it made me sad because one time I wanted to dress up as Evillustrator (a boy) and my mom wouldnt let me because he's a boy and I'm "a girl"
Hey so. I'm genderfluid, and I don't get dysphoria all that often because that's not really how I view gender, but sometimes it flares up, which it has been doing recently, and I just. Don't know? I'm just angry a lot of the time because no matter what I do or what changes I make to my appearance, I feel like people are still just gonna see me as female. It's good, when I'm actually feeling female, but the rest of the time it sucks. I have longish hair and whenever I mention feeling dysphoric, people are like "you should cut your hair short then!!! It'd really suit you!!" And I'm just like no. Even if I was biologically male, I'd still have long hair, because that helps me to love myself more, because I love long hair. And idk, I'll probably delete this, I just needed to ramble for a bit, but yea. Also, I don't use the term "transgender" when referring to myself, and a lot of people I talk to mistakenly use it, and it makes me really uncomfortable, so yeah. Um...yeah. Ok bye for now. (This comment is a mess jesus christ)
I’m a trans boy that hasn’t come out yet, mainly out of fear I’m wrong so I’m just waiting to come out but sometimes I feel dysphoric to the point I wear the same the same sports bra for an entire week and when I was younger I would do anything to feel like a boy to the point I broke my arm and didn’t want to go to the doctor to feel like a boy.
I’m ftm trans... my dysphoria got so bad I started starving myself and developed anorexia... dysphoria really sucks man
I hope you're doing better now ❤️ I know how you feel, there will always be people to listen to your worries and thoughts and to help you becoming happy again!
J G I only just got diagnosed, I was already suicidal before I came out as trans due to family issues. But i have a therapist, psychologist, and another person with a title I can’t remember lmao. But thank you for caring, I appreciate that so much x
@Alexander Curtis I developed ed tendencies recently and it actually clashes with my dysphoria? Because of the difference between my chest size any body type, the smaller I get the more noticeable my chest gets (Which is already noticeable as all hell ugh) which is so goddamn frustrating. My main point of dysphoria is my chest and I fucking hate it.
I' hope you are doing better. stay alive fren II-//
I have it to but I eat to much
I thought I was the only "weirdo" looking at themself naked at the mirror to get less dysphoria ;;;;;
It helps weirdly much. I remind myself about things like, "your chest will one day be flat" and "we might be skinny fat, but we're hitting that gym daily and one day we're gonna be a god" and "cr1tikal is only 5'6". Height is how you carry yourself."
It's really hard at first, but if you ever feel like a faker or like it's never going to be okay, just remember that you're making an active decision and dedicating a lot of your life to what most people take for granted: your gender. And that's just the most badass thing ever.
Oh I do that!!!!
your not alone
oof
I've been doing this for a good while and it actually has helped me accept the extra bits of fat on my body. I am a little thicker than the average biological girl so not only does it help with my dysphoria but
It helps an oddly large amount with an eating disorder of mine.
I don’t have dysphoria, but I’m making a trans character and this video really helped at fleshing him out.
And if you have any questions, there are enough trans people here lol
Wait... I'm doing the same thing XD Dude, that's awesome.
Okay but like same
Intense respect to you for doing your research instead of just making them transgender for the sake of making them transgender.
@@devlin4795 no
I'm not trans but I really appreciate that you're trying to help trans people currently dealing with dysphoria
Thank you 😁😁😁 RESPECT THIS HUMAN!😆

I just recently figured out I'm nb and It's so weird, I wear a dress and my dysphoria is like: You look like a cis girl. Or I wear a tie and my Dysphoria says: You look like a very masculine lesbian. I hate it so much T^T
I am non binary and trans (I think..? I'm still questioning.) Is it possible to feel like both genders and more of one gender? Cuz what tf am i?

I agree with the "going to conventions" part. When I started cosplaying as a guy at conventions, I recognized how right it felt and how amazing it was, when people called me a guy. Going to conventions helped me so much, with figuring out my gender identity. So. I can definitely recommend it, even if going might feel a little scary at first. Side note: you meet so many nice and accepting people at cons. It's wonderful!
You can meet some amazing like minded people that way.
And best part is if you ever get too shy just go to the game room and watch people play DDR for a few hours lol

Ma dude I have the same hat
My mom was highly against of cutting my hair but since I was in clothing making school I made it up that "I accidentally cut it of while I was leaning to the fabric I was cutting", and year after year I was able to get shorter cut as I made it clear with changing my clothing preference too. I finally have the haircut I love and I can just trim the sides and try to keep the manbun middle not too long so it looks alright.
It shouldn't be the way that parents decides for their kids or don't let them be theirselves.. Lots of strenght for everyone!!
Jalle my mom says I can’t cut my hair shorter than my shoulders because it “gets poofy” or something like that but I think I’m getting her used to the idea lol
that excuse though XDXD
(Agender AFaB here) A bit late but my mum was also against cutting my hair short, probably because the word “short” brought up images of buzz cuts for her, but I showed her a chin-length wolf cut(which was what i was thinking about from the start) and she agreed and a couple months ago we got my hair cut to a length that i think suits me :D
It’s ok, some people are short and amazing, Kevin Hart is 5,2 and look at how funny that dude is!! 😂

I think i'm cisgender but i love these types of videos, they help me understand trans people better
Honestly same here my friend, i have a few trans friends and my best friend feels dysphoria a lot. Its just nice to hear a bit more about it
Same here. I know a trans male, my mom's best friend, and don't really know much about him and other trans people, so...
I always love seeing allies in these comment sections, it reassures me that not every person is unaccepting.
same, when I meet Someone different I want to know about how to treat them and be around them cuz I don't want to hurt them.
Thank you so much for trying to understand, I wanted to thank you because people in my town are very trans and homophobic and tend to beat them including me. Thank you so much

I have a very hard time dealing with gender dysphoria because I’m Non Binary and a lot of people think that it’s made up, but I don’t care what other people believe, I am what I am and I feel what I feel and not even I can change that. I do have a few friends that accept me and call me a they/them. But my family doesn’t accept me and I’m their precious little daughter. No, I hate that. I’m Non Binary but I’d much rather be called a boy than a girl.
Also I need to know: Am I the only one that literally *dies* inside whenever someone says ladies and gentlemen?
Same. The worst part for me is when I go somewhere new, and I'm read more as male (I cut my hair and wear traditionally masculine clothing). I feel really good until my family calls me "she" or uses my birthname, and everyone around me immediately switches from calling me something like "buddy" or "kid" to "pumpkin" or "sweetie".
HiMyNameIsMax
I’m so sorry about that.
Wolf_Nate_1625
Same. I always skip those questions if it allows me to. Like what does my gender have to do with it? Why does it matter?
we need a word for us genderqueer folks; formal enby or somewhere around those lines

Today I got clothes from the men's section for the first time and it was great!! And I bought a binder and it won't arrive til Monday :/

If to you can't you may be able to find giveaways but they're random but it's worth a try
Honestly, im a 14 year old trans guy, and i go to school with people who knew me before i was trans and had long ass hair. And now that i look more masc.. I want to wear hairclips in my hair.. I want to dress how i like but.. I'm happy with my gender and my appearance, so i think I'm ready. But a lot of people know I'm trans and it will make people think I'm a girl.. What should i do..
you should always dress how you like, no matter what!! you do you
From a 22 year old trans guy, do what you want. Wear what you want. It may affect whether or not you pass so keep that in mind, but if you carry yourself with confidence and correct others if/when they misgender you it helps out a lot.
A lot of gender presentation is nonverbal, too. If you walk a certain way, carry yourself a certain way, and pay close attention to and mimic the body language and speech patterns of cis men (speaking slower and more directly, speaking less, using fewer filler words such as "like") , it does a surprising amount to help. Don't let that keep you from being yourself, of course, but that's stuff you can try if you'd like.
Best of luck, dude. I'm proud of you.
Wear what you want outside of school, and try to keep your masculine appearance in school, it will save you a lot of discomfort.
@@Solaceon That non-verbal stuff is very true. When I was still in the closet I walked like a motherfucking goblin, exactly like Shinjiro Aragaki from Persona 3, which caused back problems and it's essentially the one thing people mistook me for a male for, bc if I was sitting on a desk that wouldn't reveal my stance I would get identified as a female (and then I'd be in high spirits for the rest of the day xd) . Now I walk like a top model because it comes naturally to me and I only needed to do that one thing for people to properly recognize my gender, so it's not just your appearance, it's also your behaviour and mannerisms. Of course, appearance also matters, but that comes later and more slowly.
this is random but im happy im not alone in being a transguy who wears hairclips djkskjsd

To my fellow fem folks: I'm an AFAB person who literally put up with her mother shaving her legs *for her* (yes, just legs; it was a compromise) and I stopped that shit the moment I realized it wasn't what _I_ wanted. I shave my armpits twice a week and that. is. it. There is nothing wrong with a hairy woman or a hairy feminine-presenting person, and don't do what I did and put up with other people enforcing stuff onto you. It's your body, your identity, your choices. Just be you and try to surround yourself with as many people as you can who can accept that. Sincerely, your friendly gender non-conformist
Yesterday my cousin looked at me disgusted realizing I had as much leg hair as him and kept on telling me I NEED to shave because I'm "a girl" (afab, questioning nonbinary spectrum) and I pointed out that girls can have it how they feel comfortable! Boys too and if they want to shave they shave , if not then not. He was like "Boys who do that are gay. Nothing against gays - but that's gay" and it pissed me off to be honestly.
@@thewitheredsouls I feel you. I've dealt with being referred to as "unhealthy" or "gross" for just body hair. I'm lucky that I have a friend in a similar identity situation to me who doesn't shave, as well as a friend who doesn't for religious reasons. People just don't understand it; it's so normal now to be hairless below the eyes for "females" that people make terrible assumptions about normal human body hair, but _only_ if it's on a person perceived as such. If it's a "male" that shaves then there's suddenly a problem with _not_ having body hair too.
also everyone just looks a bit more cool with hair warriors don't shave (to my history knowledge) which makes people not shaving cool and if you do shave because you want to then thats also cool because theres less chance of your hair getting catch on something
@@triciaivers2572 Yeah, I hate that shaving is an expectation for women and femmes.

I wish my parents would get me a binder,but I do have a lot of problems with my breathing so I don't even know if I can bind. Your voice is so relaxing! Your advice is always helpful! I recently got my first genderfluid haircut (I told my parents my hair got in the way when I draw) and I'm super happy about it! Love your videos! 💜
Derpycheese11 If you have breathing problems i would recommend a binder 2 or 3 size larger, it will be easier to breath and should still flatten it to an extent. If you don’t want to do that, get 2 sports bras and wear them together (would also recommend a larger size for both because you don’t want to mess up your lungs more) and wear baggy sweatshirts and shirts too hide your chest
Hey, i have a ton of brwtahi g and other issues, i also have a broken rib or two.
It's really hard at first to try and wear a brinder for more the an hour or when i had to go out. I did a camping trip for three days where i was running around all day, no breaks trying to wear a binder the whole tjme.
Take breaks, do some brwyhing exsersizes, sooner or later it will get easier!
I have the same problem I have really bad asthma I usually only behind for five hours and only put my binder on minutes before I have to leave the house

I look in the mirror. Then I just say "that's not me, that is just a girl. Not me" and I just pretend that I am invisible and that is my imaginary friend that I can see.
Weird, I know. But for me it works.
That gave me an idea! You can think that you’re a spirit who possessed a body trying to run away from the spirit police, and tried to run away so you took over a newborn baby, but you didn’t check if you liked the body or not, you just took it quickly
I'm trans to non-binary and I recently came out to all my friends and asked them to call me Kai instead of my dead name and then they kept saying my preferred name😊. And if it isn't going that way for someone reading my comment, I am so so sorry❤️

I told my mom I want a binder for cosplay. She doesn’t approve of me doing male characters or of people changing their bodies.
I’m just trying to find out myself some more. Definitely do not feel that feminine.
Recently I’m thinking more gender fluid like.
Im so glad that my dyphoria is usualy so weak and that clothes mostly dont make dysphoric as long my body shape isnt too obvious. I think I will go to pride rocking a flowercrown. I just need to train more and get my body used to wear a binder for 8 or atleast 7 h because I dont want to go without it this year. For the emergency I am gonna find out in beforehand where to find bathrooms and take a loose sportsbra with me in case I need to take it off

I'd try to do any masculine thing you can get away with. You could also try to find a gender neutral or masculine sounding nickname for people to call you. You could also say you'd like to use men's deodorant because it "works better." Try to wear jeans too.

your voice actually sounds much like a boy, maybe a gender neutral voice, so i think it works. Your voice is handsome
Pibley Ya, his voice has changed a lot within the last few videos as well. It’s really great to see
I can clearly hear his voice as feminine
His voice was teetering on the edge, I feel. Not like I'm one to talk, my voice is too low for my liking, but if he ever manages to get hormones that'll really help him.
Charles Fournier Phaneuf it might be mean but it's true, a lot of trans people don't pass like they want and it's nobody's fault if they get misgender without the person actually knowing anything
Pibley it doesn’t sound like a boys at all!! xD

I have a friend who came out of the trans closet to me after his girlfriend and i am ashamed to say i wasn't as accepting because our whole lives i called him "sister" and not "brother" and i have to say this.
DON'T tell them you won't accept! Trust me, it hurts not just them but yourself as well because you will have to live with them suffering in front of you and you not seeming to care! After a few days, i messaged him and said "i love you, bro. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" He did and we are both happy. Even if you don't believe in it, at least learn to coexist with them and use the pronouns: they/them. I am mistreated because i am not "changing my trans and gay friends" and will fight to the death for them but i don't care!! I love you, for being you, and as long as you don't have sex with animals or are a criminal in any way, you are cool in my book. Stay safe, and stay hydrated. 😊🤜🤛👍👐👏💜🖤

Oh my god.. i havnt even watched it and i already love it... my disphoria is awful and UGH
This video really helped me ^^
I've been dealing with gender dysphoria for an amount of time and since I'm living in a country where the LGBTQ+ community isn't excepted it's very hard for me.
Since most of my friends from my old school is very religious((hecc, even my best friend's for 10 years is very religious)) if I open up my problem with them they will disown me calling me a traitor towards my religion and stuffs…. But luckily I still have friends from my new school and some of my old friends supporting me to be who I am.
Though since I'm going to cosplay as a guy today I'm very excited of how the things might turn out ((I'm cosplaying as Michael Mell btw)) ^^
your videos about this topic always makes me feel better about myself and i'm so greatful to hear that i don't have to do all of the stereotypical gender things
i'm 14 and i believe i have dysphoria and truly believe i'm a guy and being able to wear short hair and wear baggy clothes and still be able to draw cutsy stuff and not feel fully weird is the best feeling in the world
thank you for teaching me to love myself

Same, ive had a crap day with dysphoria and also accidentally outed myself so basically, AHHHH :((
A quick aside for any ftm/nb/ just afabs in general, take breaks, drink water and keep pushing through within reason. I'd also suggest lower singing tutorials like the ones from Geoff castellucci or David Larsson. Like even of you aren't super good at singing it helps warm up your vioce muscles. STRETCH. Stay safe y'all. 😊
Oh what amazing timing I was googling dysphoria is killing me so ay
This could NOT have come at a more convenient time. I just got hit with a huge wave of dysphoria earlier and this has calmed me down immensely.
A lot of my favorite male band members are very short. Ranging from 5'5 to 5'7 ish, and it makes me feel more comfortable about myself for being a trans-dude at the height of 5'1
Short boys stand together
On boxes cause everything is hecking tall
Catholic school really messed me up bad. I went there from pre-elementary school to middle school. I had a really shitty time there thanks to my teachers bullying me at a really young age (3 or something) for not acting like a typical boy and telling me that I'm going to hell. This experience scared me of being myself for years and I tried so hard to be "normal" but it never worked. Middle school was the worst thing I've ever gone through in my life. Not only was I getting yelled at and bullied by literally everyone but on top of that puberty started taking effect. I was just so sad all of the time and couldn't stand looking at myself. Puberty made really masc., to the point where I had a full blow mustache in 7th grade. It being a Catholic school I was never educated on trans people, gay people, etc. so I had no clue what was going on with me and never told anyone what I was feeling bc it wouldn't be "manly". I honestly believed what people were telling me and thought I was a terrible person. Thankfully for me Coronavirus shut down my school and that really gave me time to try and find out what is going on with me. Thankfully I did and glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
People can be trans/nonbinary/whatever.. As long as they're happy and like, being good people I guess
a good mentality :)
the best feeling is to be called the pronouns you want aaack
I watched this not cause I have it, but because my friends have it
Now I kinda understand, so thanks!!

Whenever i get dysphoric i write a letter to one of my teachers who im out to. I've wrote so many letters and i've giving her one (i get her letter back tomorrow) and we just write letters to each other. Honestly it helps me so much and it's such a good way to get out your feelings. what's the best thing about it though is you get to sign your chosen name which is what makes me the happiest about it.
Embasan that is so wholesome.
Im non binary and when I look at my chest I feel terrible. In my school changing room we are all separated by gender but I go into the toilets because my anxiety is through the roof. This helped......thank you
mtf trans, dysphoria and trying to stay cis is impossible, it's a different type of uncomfortableness and it's really strong, I can't do activities without dysphoria
this pretty much helped, thank you
YES I FINALLY MADE INTO HIS DISCORD >.
i think not enough people talk about how important its to look like you want to look, a friend of mine said once that looking cute was a huge motivation to exist and i couldnt agree more
so....i told my friend that im nonbinary...
idk if hes okay with it. he just didnt want to answer what ever i said about me being nb. so idk
you are very valid, ily my amazing pal
As someone who is really only JUST coming to terms with themselves, this video is honestly really helpful to me. Not just for the tips you give, but also just...being able to relate, I guess is a good way to put it? Feeling NOT alone in everything can be really comforting.
My voice and hair (which used to be really long) have always been issues for me.
Cutting my hair has honestly made me feel SO much better. For a long time I really wasn't able to cut it because, as supportive as my family USUALLY is, anytime I cut my hair from long to shoulder length I'd hear a lot of comments about long hair being "so much prettier" or something, even though when it WAS long, no one ever saw it down. That had enough of an impact on me that I didn't actually cut my hair SHORT until...like this past Christmas, even though I've been moved out for almost 5 years.
I've been pitching my voice down more, but old habits die hard where I used to be in customer service and when I I talk to people when I go out, my high-pitched super feminine customer service voice comes out. It's really frustrating but I have trouble stopping it, so it's still an issue, but it's getting better.
I DEFINITELY agree with the clothing tip. I've started investing more in clothes that work better for me and it's made me feel so much better.
I’m not trans but my love and support goes out to them. I have a transgender friend and I still love him he means the world to me!!! And I wouldn’t want him to live his life with hatred towards himself. So, if your Trans or Non-binary just know that they’re are people out here that LOVE and SUPPORT you and we’ll be there for YOU no matter what. ❤️❤️
Love yourself
And be who you wanna be 😊
I've had gender dysphoria for years now. It's not fun. I've had times when I just layed in bed and couldn't move because I was so uncomfortable in my own body. But I'm doing alot better now.

i'm not trans but i feel non-binary. i'm in the middle of middle school and i don't feel that comfortable being labeled as a female, but i'm still happy with my body (i honestly don't mind being called she/her at all, but i feel more at home being called they/them.) i experimented by going on a website and telling people my pronouns were they/them and i felt so refreshed. i'm also agender due to past experiences that i'm not going to say but i told my friends and they accept me and that's all i need in life, to be honest. i'm not telling my parents anytime soon because i have heard my father make sexist and homophobic comments before and my biggest fear in life is not being accepted. my mother on the other hand is accepting, and she even asked me if i was a lesbian one time, she has a huge mouth. if i told her she would tell everyone she knew in seconds and find some excuse to cover it up. something like "i know you told me not to tell anyone, but [name] is so close to family that i just had to tell her." that happened when i got my first period and i told her not to tell anyone, and i even said [name's] name specifically because my mom tells her every little thing about me. i haven't even met her and she knows everything.
11:17 you could also say like you're in dance or you need it for p.e. so chesticles arent in the way when you're doing physical activities
I tricked my mom into the idea of me owning a binder when I had homecoming and they wanted me to wear a dress we already had, problem was my chest was to big so I was like, "We can get something to make the smaller." so they bought one but it never came in rip. It was a cheap $15 strapless binder and it never even came in!! Then I got a cheap one from amazon but I don't remember how, I didn't buy it though but I might have just used the dress excuse. Finally I got a job and bought a gc2b one, it was a size to big though but it worked fine. Over the summer I got another job where I finally bought the right sized one and it has been great😁 My mom has said she wished I would just let my chest be but she can't exactly tell me not to, so she just deals. Same with my hair. I'm 19 now and my most recent haircut has been one of my shortest ones. She doesn't like it but she at least says, "It's your hair do what you want."
I am actually a Nonbinary person (well I was born female but I'm still going through dysphoria and am not sure if I'm NB or Trans) I usually get very dysphoric Because I hate how my body looks so "feminine" and I always feel uncomfortable when someone calls me a her or girl. I like it when people refer to me as a boy or even when a stranger refered to me as "young boy" that made me obnoxiously happy. This video helped a lot and thank you for that. I haven't come out to anyone yet but when I feel ready I'm planning to
Ever since I have found your channel I have been so happy :) I don't see many trans you tubers/story time animators and I'm so glad I found you ^w^ you inspired me to come out to my family and they accepted me
so im not dysphoric but watching these videos helped me understand more about it, i think that it shouldn't really matter what you are, as long as you love yourself and acknowledge that others might be distant, life could become easier, im not saying everyone will be distant but im saying there are conditions within family which create the xenophobes and people of that nature, even with these people existing there will always be others who will love and respect you, you can make healthy relationships, you can succeed in overcomming any insecurities you may have about dysphoria, having friends that have dysphoria has shown me both sides of the same coin, the positive and negative side, although im really neiher, i can comprehend that people with dysphoria have a lot going on, as for people who aren't i can see why they dislike the idea of it and why they don't understand it but as i said before watching these videos helped me understand more about dysphoria, both sides have been forced to live a certain way and until we can find out a way to deal with it unfortunately we have to live like this
tl;dr watching these videos helped me understand and i hope you know people care about you, yes you can make good and healthy relationships.
remember to look at both sides of the coin.
On bad days I always come listen to this video, it helps. Some days more than others. But it always reminds me I’m not alone and the healthy ways to cope. Thank you

A tip for FTM trans people who cant get a binder (closeted reasons) is asking a friend to buy it for you, or pay them and have it shipped to their house so your parents dont know about it, then they can give it to you..or just make one (AS LONG AS ITS SAFE-)
I've been dealing with a lot of dysphoria lately, and this video really helped me out and made me feel a bit happier. thank you so much for trying to help people with their feelings, you're an amazing human. also, amazing drawing! looks good :3
"Looking at yourself in the mirror naked"
Me who can barely look at himself in the mirror clothed: ...
About the binder, I don’t have one and I have money but I’m afraid my parents finding it in the mail before me . Anyway, atm I just layer a lot of small tops and a pantyhose (look it up lol) and it fucking sucks because it takes a lot of time and it moves a lot and is very bulky but at least it serves its purpose. Most times I pass, but of course those who know me still call me female, but those who don’t consider me a boy and even though I’m still getting used to it it makes me happy, a little awkward but happy (people at the store mostly or really small kids at job or really old people) because I consider myself too socially anxious to be recognized as a boy so it helps
Thank you Pax 😭 this video was amazing
I was completely haveing a huge disphoria freak out and this helped me a lot! Thank you so much!!!!
That's why I ran back here too. Dysphoria is normally not a problem but shit it just hits me so hard sometimes
Edit: Today it came again. Shit.
And I'm in bed tucking, once again on the verge of tears... yay
When you started talking about cosplay it made me sad because one time I wanted to dress up as Evillustrator (a boy) and my mom wouldnt let me because he's a boy and I'm "a girl"
This advice is good for general body hate issues too, thanks this helped me cheer up
I'm trans. I mostly deal with my dysphoria by using humor as a tool. Sometimes, you gotta laugh to keep from crying.
Hey so. I'm genderfluid, and I don't get dysphoria all that often because that's not really how I view gender, but sometimes it flares up, which it has been doing recently, and I just. Don't know? I'm just angry a lot of the time because no matter what I do or what changes I make to my appearance, I feel like people are still just gonna see me as female. It's good, when I'm actually feeling female, but the rest of the time it sucks. I have longish hair and whenever I mention feeling dysphoric, people are like "you should cut your hair short then!!! It'd really suit you!!" And I'm just like no. Even if I was biologically male, I'd still have long hair, because that helps me to love myself more, because I love long hair. And idk, I'll probably delete this, I just needed to ramble for a bit, but yea. Also, I don't use the term "transgender" when referring to myself, and a lot of people I talk to mistakenly use it, and it makes me really uncomfortable, so yeah. Um...yeah. Ok bye for now. (This comment is a mess jesus christ)
I’m a trans boy that hasn’t come out yet, mainly out of fear I’m wrong so I’m just waiting to come out but sometimes I feel dysphoric to the point I wear the same the same sports bra for an entire week and when I was younger I would do anything to feel like a boy to the point I broke my arm and didn’t want to go to the doctor to feel like a boy.
im gonna cry- a year and a half ago i joined your discord server and met my best friends. no damn clue where id be without the sauce server
I needed this video. Thank you for making this video. ❤
