PATREON - / westcoastelements
Our professor assigned us an 'inspiration' project. We had the freedom to do whatever we wanted with it, so I thought it was a great opportunity to come out to my new class and tell them that I am a female to male transgender.

This could very well be a TED talk
Are you telling me it wasn’t- I didn’t even notice it wasn’t 😂
I MADE IT 4.1K LIKES AKSKKAKAKKSAMKWOOSKSKWKW OMFG
I want it to be
In our school we're not allowed to talk about lgbtq+ and our parents will be there ☠️
Him:
_Confidently, he presents his thingy_
Me:
_Stutters and says hi once and stays silent for 5 minutes_
Saaaaame. I only wish I could be confident liked him
That’s me and everyone actually cares for me my mind just plays games
Lauren Baker I can understand with just reading the postings on her after viewing the video, people no matter what will be negative to anyone who Transitions. I know because by me taking a stand for myself I don’t give a care what people think of me anymore. The one thing that stopped me from taking that leap was I was more worried what others thought of me then what I thought of me. Once I said enough is enough and took a stand for my body not anyone else, i started dressing full time. Is the grass going to be greener on the other side of making an educated decision,I can honestly say no, but sometimes in your life you have to be honest with yourself and make that change. I have absolutely no regrets and living my life the last two years plus as the true me. There is a couple books out there called True Selves, and KnowYour Why. Both excellent books to read and help you with your educated decision. Therapy is a great start as well, before this I was never involved in therapy. I have served this country for 12 years and the VA has a wonderful support group. By me speaking up here, likelihood someone or more people will jump on this and say things thinking I will change back to whom I was before, I will take it all under advisement and that will be that. At the end of the day no matter what I put my head to the pillow and still no regrets with my decision to live my life.
*has a big ass panic attack*
@@Im_alivexx Class: *stays silent*
*snapchat notification*
*someone silently pulls out a bag of popcorn*
It breaks my heart how you can notice that he's getting scared when he's starts showing the photos, but at the same time I feel so proud of him for being so brave from the beginning and stop being scared as he continued with the presentation
This video is wrong on so many levels
Indecisive N.E.E.T i'm gonna add a couple things to what you said. ShiroiOkami there is actually scientific proof that trans people have the brain structure of the opposite sex. So he would have a male brain even though he was born in a female body. If you search "asap science transgender" on youtube you can find a video that explains it with scientific facts to back it up.
hope this helps and that everyone has a great day!
Agreed
@Indecisive N.E.E.T hey there. And agreed I'm transfer and people say "oh the BOY is here HE is trans. " so thanks for making that comment
DcFortnite69 Dude how lil homie
Ironically, I'd say he's got balls!
Depends if he's got bottom surgery or not
He still got em to me😂
**ba dum tssss**
Just some Karen with internet access dude this guy doesn’t need bottom surgery, he prolly grew some balls before that presentation out of sheer willpower
He’s brave, but this person ain’t go no balls. No biological balls. I had balls. What do I mean by had? STORYTIME!! I was born a man but had the bottom operation without having to live as a woman. True. So now I can say I’m a grown man, with breasts and a vagina!! I also stopped feminizing hormones/drugs, because I’m worth it. Maybe it’s maybelline. It’s all true, so consider that.
My anxiety peaked while watching this.
I feel extremely second-hand anxious mmmmmmm

Literally two comments under your on "newest", so choke on your words.
Never X Nice sis where?
Exactly
Same
Like sis I can’t even find comments of people saying stop hating.
OMG THIS IS HORRIBLE!
HE PROBABLY MADE THE OTHER STUDENTS REALIZE THEIR PRESENTATIONS SUCK
MKAY I was ready to get mad but nope lol
they had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Millie F lmao xD
really had us in the first half
Rose Whiting It’s a meme lmao. The first half of the comment sounded transphobic, so it throws off whoever reads it further lol
Protect this man at all costs.
There is nothing to protect him from, he is too brave for anything to be able to over come him. Even god dang transphobes.
He can protect himself lmao
We need more people like him in this world.
No.
Aleksandra Nowicka why?
I remember seeing this video 4 years ago as a 13-year old and being so shocked that there was someone else out there just like me because up to that point I had only ever seen negative things about transgender people and so I was in denial big time. This video gave me hope and courage and I was able to finally come out about 2 years ago.
PastaDan congrats!!
Omg I'm 13 (turning 13) and I just saw your comment....I'm not trans, but I'm gender fluid 😆
Btw congratulations 😊

How can you have the confidence to come out to your whole class who only just met you when I can’t even come out to friends who are also part of the LGBT+ community
@@the_queer_forest_fairy5170 If you didn't yet and are still friends with em, come out to them. You'll get good reactions from them I bet. ;)
@@eve6523 ive come out to 3 of them ill come out to more when school starts in 3 days!
@@the_queer_forest_fairy5170 I wish you the best, bud. :)
because coming out to strangers is actually easier. They have no expectations for you that you HAVE to meet. Because if they don't like you, you just decide not to form a connection. If they can't accept you for who you are, screw them. But if it's people you know, your family, your friends, classmates you've known for years....
The connection is already there. You can't just ignore them, if they react badly. You have to either convince them to be more supportive and educate themselves... or you have to actively break your bond with them. And that's bound to hurt more than strangers being unwilling to talk to you.
Coming out to people you love is the fear of loosing something that you have come to depend on. That you might need. Coming out to strangers is the fear of never getting it in the first place. It's still shit, but it's different and often easier to live with.
But I wish you the best of luck anyways!!!! Because the relief you will certainly feel, will be much bigger too.

I can’t even present a 3 slide presentation and you came out to your class. You are amazing oml congratulations
@Dr Mobius II Let him be him and you be you
@Dr Mobius II Is it that hard to respect people? Do you even know what the the fucking process is for a person to transition? I bet you have no clue. Didn't your parents teach you if you have nothing nice to say, to shut your mouth?
Dr Mobius II while I understand you enjoy talking about things that you won’t get without rape charges (namely vagina) but seriously leave him alone
I can’t even believe that you have 777 likes. That’s amazing!
@Dr Mobius II Are you done? What people do with their lifes is honestly none of your fucking business. If there is no harm done to anyone, shut the hell up?? Alot of trans people don't necessarely have bottom surgery because it implies alot of risks. Trans KNOW that they are BIOLOGICALLY male/female. The reason they are transitionning is because they suffer from gender dysphoria. If they want to live comfortably, transitionning is most of the time a great solution for people who suffers from that condition. You don't have to support/agree with the body modifications they do, but respect is the key here. Respect other people. That's it. Insulting people that do things you don't agree with will never make your point come across and that's a fact. If you had an onze of maturity, you would know how to discuss things.
im sad there’s so many homophobic people in this world
jaime martinez it’ transphobic in this case 🙈
Well that is definitely applicable to this video
im arguing w one rn and my english isnt that good so its hard to understand and hes cursing at me

Dhhdhdd Jdjdjdjd Oh my gosh I just finished reading that...I just can’t believe some people really think like that. It’s heartbreaking 💔😤
You can hear the raw emotion and slight hints of fear in his voice but he pushes on and says what he has to say👏🏼 respect!!!!

Idk what I’m trying to say :’3
Why can't people just be happy for him? Happy that he is happy? Keep the negative to yourself. He isn't hurting you!
haley devine He is hurting a future that is correct, well mannered, and strong.
Maximoniom69 now, thats ridiculous... mind your own business! It’s his life!!! He gets to choose how to live it. There are bigger problems in this world so instead of focusing on insulting and hating on people who are brave enough to be open up about who they are, you should back off and spread positivity instead of hatred.
doodalia Okay first of all, This is a public comment. You can't say "Mind your own business" It Doesn't work that way. Second, if you teach kids that you are accepted no matter what you are, they're going to expect that all the time and won't know how to react when their rights are threatened. Lets say that somebody from another religion (that is against transgender rights) attempts to assault them. They cower and break down, allowing the aggressor to easily overpower them and injure them. And don't even get me started on how sex change operations are a waste of money, resources, and time.
Maximoniom69 alright, listen up you little shit. You're saying being yourself and getting accepted for who you are is a bad thing? Someone being transgender isn't affecting your life. People get plastic surgery to feel better about their bodies and themselves but apparently gender reassignment surgery is a "waste of money". Well guess what fucktard, it's not a waste of money, it makes them feel good about themselves and that's all that should matter. If asked whether or not you wished for world peace you would probably say "yes" and then here you are, doing the complete opposite of trying to make that happen. I'm not saying this to try to change your shitty, corrupted mind. I'm saying this for all those transgender people who get shit like this everyday because your dumb ass can't accept the beautiful people in this world
Midori Tea First of all, Insulting people is not a proper way to debate, stop embarrasing yourself. Second, World peace is impossible. It is human nature to always have the urge to create some type of conflict. Third, gender reassignment surgery is a waste of money and resources. They do not need to go out of their way to spend thousands of dollars and waste resources just so that they can feel good about themselves. Besides it's not guaranteed to improve the their overall hapiness, the transgender suicide rate is 40%! Let that sink in for a minute, And before you say "Oh that is because you monsters bully these innocent kids!" Have you ever heard of a human emotion called 'regret'?
oh man im seeing this in 2018, so no one will see this comment, but this entire comment section is riddled with compliments that are meant to be nice but are actually NOT at all compliments. "hes cute for being trans" "I dont care if he's trans, hes cute" "youre cute as a boy" lmao no .. no.........no
L
Those are backhanded compliments, because you know.
Saying "he's cute for being trans" is the equivalent of saying "you're good-looking even if there's something wrong with you" why would you need to add "for being trans" at the end? Just say he's cute. It's really backhanded and invalidates his struggles and the transition he's gone through.
That’s like slapping someone on the back hard instead of just hugging them
I mean, I'm bi so to me he was adorable as a guy and as a girl
i’m literally shaking with nerves for him presenting this
My anxiety level went through the roof watching this video. I was so nervous for him I was shaking a bit. But he is so very brave and I'm glad he had the courage to get up there in front of all of those people and tell his story
Me too omg
I'm so proud of him! he deserves to be happy just like everyone else.
his story is inspiring!!
i wish to come out too but i'm scared of my family
are you gay??
+gelu4in wtf does that have to do with his comment ? Why is his sexuality relevant to him wishing luck to someone else
+gelu4in Bitch.
#Trans
He deserves an A
Rose Sky that is discriminating against non trans. Just because he us tranz doesn't mean he deserves an A.
Alex Thompson You’re an actual idiot. This whole presentation was amazing, it has nothing to do with the fact that he is transgender, but everything to do with how well he spoke and how confident he was.
@Sophia Logosz this was from 2 years ago and the comment I was replying to is gone so I honestly don't remember the context
He deserves A+

Shame on the people that are discouraging him saying he will never be a real boy. What is he, Pinocchio? Even he turned into a real boy and he was made of _wood._ Trangender's will always be supported by me and thousands of others.

+YeshPlz its he you ignorant shit
***** Born a girl always a girl you uneducated shit
YeshPlz gender and sex are different, educate yourself. "Gender-A similar category of human beings that is outside the male/female binary classification and is based on the individuals personal awareness or identity." As you can see, the definition clearly states that gender is different than sex, sex being the biological identification.

hey everyone in the comments, I love y'all. I can't find a single hate comment and that makes me really happy :)
Actually there is one person-
@@expresso4thedeppresso whomst?
not jaden smith, my name's just jaden his name is Dr Mobious or some shit. He hasn’t done any research, keeps calling people stupid fucks and telling them to put a pad in. He’s asking people who are arguing with him if their short haired lesbians with blue hair. He also keeps saying that people are on the spectrum. So yeah, he strikes me as misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist. He’s been returning to the replies for months. He’s so obnoxious and he needs to fuck off.
there’s another one, “Useless Nintendo Switch,” very transphobic, saying they identify as an attack helicopter (hilarious innit?) and referring to him using the incorrect pronouns.
@@cynthiaanderson6410 lmaooo seems like a bootlicking nazi to me. you can definitely tell that he's a dude from the far right by how he talks about "short blue haired lesbians"
The amount of confidence and bravery to do what you did is incredible! I respect you very much
BRAVERY? He's literally standing in a class with everyone accepting him. If that's what you call bravery you really need to re learn the definitions of words.
You do it then. Stand up and speak about a very very personal topic in front of people you have no idea will react.
Mili Seguel
Oh wow so brave man holy shit I was going to die oh god. Grow up.
Your words are contradicting. A part of 'growing up' is taking into account how other people feel and react to things and coexisting with each other. It's not minimising someone's experience just for the satisfaction of doing so. I hope one day you'll learn and understand that other people feel differently then you. This is bravery, and not even being able to admit so is cowardice. So in other words the only one who really needs to grow up is you.
Mili Seguel
Trust me when you get to your 40's or 50's you'll realize how cringy you were now.
This class is so calm about this? My class, or even almost my entire school, would start screaming or/and laughing
I love everything about this though❤️
woos 3 I would laugh
Why?
One guy got into a fight because someone asked him why his friends were calling him he
The person punched him after arguing for 15 minutes and the teacher doing nothing
I have been giving informational lessons about the same subject (and in my case, this was about being transgender, though we had people along who were gay or bisexual as well) in high schools throughout my city.
It really depended on the classes, some where ultrasilent (and not always in a good way), some obnoxiously loud and those in general had a very hard time focusing on the lesson they were having, and then you had all the sorts in between those two extremes.
We had a round in which the students could answer certain statements by agreeing with them (showing a green card), being neutral about them (showing a yellow) or disagreeing with those (showing a pink card).
This would usually tell something about our perception of the social security in the class we were dealing with: if the class had already been through some life-changing moments (a student getting killed in a house-fire or getting into a fatal car accident, for instance) and the ability to be able to talk about the horrible thing that had happened in that classroom had been there, we usually noticed this in the way students answered to the statements: they usually gave very mixed answers based on their own opinion, because there was a mutual sense of security none would get into trouble for speaking their mind.
In classes where the social security was much lower or sometimes non-existent (and in which agreeing to a statement might prove to be controversial and result in trouble later that year), we usually noticed 2 or 3 "group leaders" that held up "the right answer" (while we stated there was no right or wrong from the beginning) at which the rest of the group followed.
The last category of classes usually were the same kind in which telling our coming out story did not cause people to ask questions at all, afraid (and sometimes rightfully so) that their curiosity would be reprimanded with bullying afterwards.
I have two transgender cousins that have had really bad experiences with being trans. Everyday they get called the t word, missgendered, and people purpously use their wrong prounouns. People need to be kinder because it really hurts them.
The worst part is when people afterwords are asking why is the suicide rate so high compleltly forgetting that they are part of the reason of trans people attempting and often sadly succeding.
@Eve i 100% agree. My worst fear is loosing one or both of them. I love them both so much and they're both a huge part of my life. I would be able to go on without them.
@BTS&ARMY.ARE.ONE.FAMILY thank you so mutch. I told one of them and he started to cry. We love you too.
@@WordUp1111 God that is adorable.
@Emily f fuck off. Honnestly, fuck you. How is ut conserning that i have 2 trans cousins?! 2 realy isnt a big number. And of course a girl called EMILY thinks its conserning. It honnestly conserns me that you would come onto the internet and say shit like that.

If this is not in highschool, where the heck is it? I've never seen College and university assignments anything like that.
University.
Benton Blimey. In England, such non-academic style of self-reflection would be frowned upon in university.
+Husna M lol you have to figure out who you are to figure out what you want to do with your life academically
TheHG12 As of such I would have expected such a class to be in school since thats just before you have to make major life decisions. At university it is expected that they hone your current academics and direct you towards a specialization, not spend time faffing about with such romantic notions of the 'self', like moments.
+Husna M This is hugely inaccurate and will vary in different degrees.
He's a good looking dude. I would've never in a million years guessed he used to be a girl. I guess all that stuff worked!
By the way I think you're setting s great example to a lot of people going through what you did by saying what you did in front of a whole class. I'm not transgender and I'm a guy (also comfortable with being one) and I can honestly say if I was going through that, I wouldn't have the balls to say that in front of everyone.
s
+Lana Banana I didn't say that at all. Nothing even close to that actually, I was complimenting his bravery. Nothing more, nothing less.
"I would've never in a million years guessed he used to be a girl." so all FtM transgender look feminine, and vice versa. Right?
+Lana Banana I hate when people look for things to get mad at. I'm pretty sure everyone., as well as I, took that as the transformation went great and he looks exactly like a normal guy. Stop trying to instigate things.
I'm not trying to "instigate" things. You could have just said "He looks really good! Nice looking man" from the beginning instead of "I would have never guessed he was trans". That's all.
"curiosity is obviously a real thing"
(Not making fun, I'm trans myself)
this is my new catchphrase
Hehe yea, I lolled at that as well, I can fill a whole page with incredibly funny (and to some people very intimate and personal) questions.
Some questions came up so much that I sometimes think "If I would've gotten 1 euro for every time I got that question, I would be rich now."

He's so inspirational. Me coming from a highly religious family that doesn't believe in other genders or sexualities, I'll be waiting until I can support myself before I come out... These stories just make me feel better about the rest of humanity though. :)

I am so proud of you for doing this. YOU GO BOY. And this is coming form a pansexual person. I cheer you on. You get a new sub.
Woohoo! Thank you & welcome :D
be who you are and no one else just yourselves peace
Be yourself but don't just say it out loud everywhere you go. If a normal person is gay/trans/anything else he won't make a presentation on it just so the whole class can know about it. A normal person would just keep it for themselves. I feel like many ppl just try to be gay, vegan or hipster only becouse that's what's popular atm and they know they'll get a lot of attention. I think what I wanted to say is - be yourself, but don't, just please don't try to be anyone else just becouse it seems popular.

Alll this guys hating on you , cause your cuter than them as a boy 😍
oh boy you do NOT want to be Trump right now lol
what is so repulsive about a person receiving the live saving medical care they need? Whats so repulsive about being who you are. (of course thats kind of rhetorical. the obvious answer is that its not repulsive, you just happen to be prejudice.)
hoogleunion how is permanently damaging your body “live saving?”
Nathanieldx there's a good chance he would have killed himself if he didn't transition. It's the lesser of two evils

Andrew Goth and I'm appalled that youre such a little bitch.
I was like Oh he has a youtube channel, I gotta find his channel! Then realised this is his channel😂

The concept of “gender identity,” or that someone can change what is biological fact, is ridiculous.
To everyone saying that he isn’t a boy
Your correct
he is a man 😌
Also omg I can’t even talk to my friends without freaking out and he just came out to his whole class/school :0 so amazing!!! 😌💜
Nah that’s a whole women
BrodyBruh no he’s a man
Mr.dmp_ gacha How?
BrodyBruh because he is a Male has been since birth but sadly he was born in the wrong body and so people assigned him as female just because he had a “female body”
Mr.dmp_ gacha wasn’t he born with a female part tho?
everyone is laughing at his jokes and the vibe is chill, and then when he tells the class he's trans it gets so quiet you can hear a pin drop. my anxiety went📈
I'm so proud of him!! p.s he sounds like Anthony Padilla (voice wise)

Lovey marie Tylerr I KNEW i recognised that
Cholo Garcia Vitug If you can't respect a trans person or their pronouns, why are you even clicking on this video?
I THOUGHT THAT TOO LMAO
Cholo Garcia Vitug you might not want to say that because some people will get offended I get where you’re coming from but just say he.
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING

The content aside, the way he delivers his presentation is top notch. Unlike a bunch of presentation, i have seen in my country.
Can you imagine having to present after this man's presentation?
That was amazing!! :)
shannon beveridgeeeeee!!
yes
i agree
I know this comment is too late but it really takes alot of courage to do this especially in front of your class and I'm commenting this for respect and support and I just subscribed because it doesn't matter how somone is like we're all human we all have feelings and emotions and it's videos like these that really inspire people and get people confident with themselfes and and changes others view in the world and I really want to say Thankyou to people who post videos like these and show to the world 'this is who I am,I'm always me and always will be!' This video is Amazing and so are you!
Still taking it personally against me Lol dude, God is the one who said the homosexual will not enter into his Kingdom 1 Cor 6:9-11, God is the one who said he will cast the homosexual and those who support into the lake of fire Rev 21-8, Rom 1:32, in Lev 18:22 and 20:13 God uses harsh words about same-gender sex and that those who commit the act of same-gender sex shall be put to death...I'm not going against the word of God simply because you don't like it I don't have to "embrace" help, support, stand with you or for you in your "open" defiance of God's law forbidding the act of homosexuality and you can't force me to...I will take the word of God over your "opinion" 24/7 you are the ones calling God's word against same-gender sex hateful because it clearly condemns the act of homosexuality and wants to bully others into agreeing with you against God... I don't accept your disbelief, I don't accept same-gender sex as equal to MALE and FEMALE, I don't accept the lie of "God made me this way" I do not stand with you I stand aside from you, I separate myself from homosexuals which is what God said to do.

* a lot
KrazyKookiez “I know becoming a boy takes a lot of courage” all u girls doing that think it is easier to be a boy until they figure out that they have no rights and are accused of things they never did
I tried binding for the first time today (with ace bandages and yes I do know I shouldn’t have however I took it off after like 5 minutes) and I felt so freakin awesome I cried out of happiness
Make sure not to over-bind, it can damage you so be careful :)
My friend, he is trans, and this week, after 3 years of waiting he got his name changed to matt finally and he was sooo happy
That’s beautiful🥺❤️
Thats amazing!!!😄💜
Power points are really scary and hard for me. I scared for the upcoming power points I'll have to do in high school (in 7th grade)
It's easier in high school because no one cares about you and so they just forget about your presentation. But if you make it funny, that's always a must to make it less intimidating.
I did a powerpoint on the purpose of memes for my english project. My subject was music. We still got an A. It's actually pretty easy with powerpoints, just make sure you have something to read off of.
dont day um or like a lot, and dont smack your lips when you talk, dont stutter, try not to have a voice crack and trust me, no one will remember
Ålphabet• Girł it's really not that big of a deal. The only classes I really did power points in were my elective classes and most of the time the other kids weren't even paying attention
Ålphabet• Girł Same I get very nervous
Wow, so I was going through these comments and was so shocked about how much hate there is. I didn't realize there are still so many homophobes; I mean, it's the 21st century, I thought we were already past this issue
Lieve Dangreau it's not homophobes.. It's transphobes, being transgender has nothing to do with sexuality
Noah but at the same time its homophobic because whenever they say "That's gay!" They use it as an insult
Lieve Dangreau yeah believe it or not honestly it’s stupid like honestly it was on the news today 2 gay guys wanted a wedding cake and the guy that makes them said “ i’m sorry but we don’t serve your kind” like the hell 😑
lanava53 that isn’t even remotely close to what happened. the case was quite interesting, maybe you should read it
Sadly not...
When he was showing the photos his hands were shaking 😭 this is really amazing I’m really proud of him for going thro with it
don’t mind me i came here just to beat ✨ transphobes ✨
This has inspired me to come out to my class. I'm not transgender, but pansexual. A few people in my class already know, but this has given me the motive to show that I am proud of being myself to everyone. Thanks for the push forward. :)
Make sure to do it in biology class!
+JarielMC a you like everyone regardless of what they go by or whatever, but we still have standards don't forget
+JarielMC a this includes gender. You like everyone regardless of gender, looks, or whatever but still have your own standards.
+JarielMC a like, you LOVE someone no matter their gender. You'd be their boy/girl friend regardless.
Lmao who cares if ur pan personally i wouldnt care if i was in your school. Who would say eww about that? I hope you have fun and have others to support u
I would never have the balls to this lol
Jasper Chase are you a dude or a chick
? a duck I'm a fucking duck!! dumbass I'm like him I'm FtM transgender
Jasper Chase bitch why can't you just be the gender you're born
because my mind the gender I am inside the one I truly am won't let me and I'm happy to say I'm a male who was born female. I am one of some that fights every day tell people why and who I am inside. it's not my fault. hell if I could change I would not because this has opened my mind to the most wonderful fucking people I have ever met and I'm not gonna let closed minded dumbasses like yourself tell me who or what I should be based on what was my junk looked like so go fuck off and don't bother me or any transgender people or anyone ever again!
so why are you dumbfucks still commenting on a video you DON'T FUCKING AGREE WITH??????? IF U DO NOT LIKE IT LEAVE 😉👌
This was really heartwarming...
Now tell me why the fuck this has 3 fucking thousand dislikes
Woah I came out to my mom as bisexual and she said “okay” I really don’t think she understands it? But I’m okay with that. I told my friend and they told everybody and then I got really emotional because you never know how people are going to react :(
Lilly nah, she understood. She just doesn’t care. Which is good.
Wait, so your friends outed you without consent?
Even if u don't but u have the biggest pair of balls for doing that total respect
I love everything about this.
Mimi yes same
Not only is your story inspirational... this presentation was SO WELL DONE. I hope you got an A.
The people who disliked are obviously homophobic/transphobic,blind or upset about this xxx
Chicken Nuggets
Where was he being transphobic? He just explained that technically Helen was wrong.
Of course I think we all know that she meant to say transphobic but this guy pointed it out, it’s not transphobic to be grammatically correct
Chicken Nuggets
Guess you were right lol
I was just confused about why you were calling him a transphobe because I had no idea about his other comments. Let’s just ignore hateful people like him❤️
Useless Nintendo Account
“Transphobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes, feelings or actions toward transgender people or transness in general. Transphobia can include fear, aversion, hatred, violence, anger, or discomfort felt or expressed towards people who do not conform to social gender expectations.[1][2] It is often expressed alongside homophobic views and hence is often considered an aspect of homophobia.”
The first sentence is literally what you’re doing, maybe you don’t intensely dislike them but you sure as hell try to make their life as bad as you can huh.
If you searched up the word transphobia this is literally the first thing that comes up. Since you’re so smart you should know that words can evolve in time and have slightly or even completely different meanings. I imagine you also know that the word phobia cane first and foremost from the fear of something. We all know that homophobic people do no fear gay people, they just hate them. Why? Because the word phobia changed in time.
I wish i had that confidence
Aerotheace ofspades ikr
Same but I'm most likely gonna go stealth
its the environment baby
good for you!
amberphoria Thank you!
***** most people, so stop
true i get your point sorry
you too ;)
+Muhan Silango who cares?! Then why do you care enough that your even replying to people??
imagine having to present next
I was nervous for him the whole time
Wow, I found myself crying after watching this....simply because when I see a person who is such a physical embodiment of strength and courage it is sincerely a special thing! I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are, and please keep sharing your story!
This guy has balls.
I'm currently transitioning, its been impossible to come to the people in my life.
+Sabrina Mcgoldrick it's ok feel free to mock us
+jack daniels wise up
+Daisyplays ew
shut up
Disgusting
When I first saw this I was just learning about the LGBTQ+ community that was in 6th grade. Now I’m in 8th grade knowing I’m nonbinary and now I really understand what he’s talking about in this video
The way he was shaking and nervous while doing this presentation but still held himself all the way to the end, I feel so proud! This guy inspired me to be a better man and overcome my fears. Thank you!
I got goosebumps
same omg
why?
i got.... i don't know what i've got, but i would have shot the freak where IT stands.
Wow, I'm crying! I wish i could be as strong as you but i'm way to scared to do a comingout.. You are my new Inspiration and hope. Thank you. :) ♥
You dont have to be scared, i know there gonna be some people who dosent like tue way u are. But remember JUST BE YOU. And youll always have a Friend. Me.
Three Gamer Girls Hey, thank you, but it's really not that easy.. I wish I could be who I wish to be, but my parents would never accept me like that. I think I can never tell anybody how I really feel
+Lynn Yuster im with you. i came out to my parents, and they accept me. but they wont let me go through hormone therapy till im 18(so i pretty much have to do it all by myself😡), and its slowly tearing me apart. ive came to the realization that because i have to wait so long(i am currently 15) i will never get to experience the normal teenage life. i can pretty much throw away my chances of dating, going to prom, and being my real self around my friends(i haven't come out to them).but im glad i got my parents to know what is gping on with me. im not saying this to make you feel bad for me. im saying this because you gotta come out to someone, AT LEAST ONE person you trust in your life. it could make all the difference. try coming out to an adult in your life that you trust that can talk to your parents. idk what to do if you honestly believe they wont accept you. if that's the case, im sorry. at least try to make them see and accept that this is you.
??? I really dont need this...
Alyssa Francois He was a great leader, but sadly the Jewish people met their fate D: but I have a question about transgender people um like for example a they are born a boy but feel like they are a girl are they technically a girl or just really a boy but would it be technically homosexual if they go out with another boy or would it just be straight?
If he didn't get an A I'm gonna be mad
No, A+ C:
Omg you could hear his voice breaking when he's talking about the fireworks and reflecting on his life when he was at the beach with his friends.
I don't know but stuff like this makes me too nervous to watch. Even though I know it went well. Not sure what that says about me... So proud of you though.
Second-hand anxiety just means you're a very kind, empathetic person (which is a very good thing) c:
I know exactly how you feel. I get that too. For me it's also sometimes uncomfortable to watch something really embarrassing cause even if it's acting or they're not really embarrassed, I feel it for them.
I felt the same way for Benton. I was sitting there thinking "oh gosh I know they're just trying to be respectful and stay quiet during his presentation but why are they so quiet...reassurance ....reassurance" You could tell he was getting super nervous after he actually came out in front of them too. I'm really happy it went well and It's wonderful that he did this and shared it with all of us
Same. I get the WORST second-hand anxiety. And embarrassment. And just emotions in general.
me to
He looks like the fetus Ricky Dillon
He looks like a fucking hot Ricky Dillon child.
IKRRRRR
*My ears have been blessed*
Ur so brave
I remember when I had a debate about against having uniform and I talked about trans kids in my Christian high school’s English class .... I was so anxious but confident on the outside just like you
My best knows that I’m trans but ofc I’m not out to everyone to school now lol
I really wish Benton had made a separate video of the reactions, responses, and questions the classmates had to this. Part of me feels like it'd be really interesting to watch everyone's jaw drop when they realized, "Wait, HE used to be a girl?"
Omg i felt so nervous watching this idk why
i was so nervous about the reaction of everyone....
i needed them to be supportive
+Jojo Hanna same here
+Alexander Harmon omg same I felt so stressed
Me too. I always get scared abd nervous when someones does something kinda risky
same
You can hear the nervousness in his voice
I was nervous for him at first
When I came out as trans to my transphobic parents I was FREAKED OUT and you can tell he was too
I'm gonna throw some hands if someone starts making fun of him.
No need to throw hands... you can keep your limbs attached to your body.
