I don’t really know what to say, i’m a bit stuck at the moment and i also feel confused. however it’s soooo good seeing this and realizing i’m not the only one and to recognize so many things you are talking about is just....i can’t even. It makes me happy and it makes me cry at the same time Thank u for making this🙏🏼
I’m so glad my video(s) can help you. I know how terrible it can feel to feel “stuck” and not quite sure where to go or what the next step is. It’s so incredibly frustrating. If you ever need to talk you can always message me on Instagram (bryn_neutral). Best of luck to you 💛
Thank you for sharing your story! I think hearing more peoples experiences is really important to raise awareness and create a better understanding for everyone!
Thank you so much for making this video! After searching for trans stories and sifting through all the transphobia on youtube, I feel exhilarated to have found you. You look exactly how I would love to look and I see myself reflected in a lot of your story. I'm in the phase where it's obvious that I'm trans but I'm not ready to start hormones, so it's pretty exhausting. Seeing this really helped a lot. Love
I’m so glad my video helped you! If you ever need support you can always reach out on my Instagram (bryn_neutral). I wish you the best on your journey!!
SAME Especially the part about hormones, like, I was definitely super nervous starting HRT but now, over a year later, I love the changes and it's pretty clear my body works WAY better on estrogen than testosterone.
I can really identify with you for a lot of reasons because I am also not super feminine but I'm AMAB and pretty sure I'm trans. I'm calling myself trans and genderfluid these days because I do have masc days on occasion (but for the most part I stay somewhere in between/off the binary). I talked to a doctor about how I want to look more pretty and feminine, but not grow boobs, and I had a drug in mind. She looked it up and told me it's not going to do what I wanted, and said if I didn't want boobs I shouldn't take hormones. And she directed me to the medical aesthetician to see about skin care and hair removal. She said if that's not enough then I can take hormones. Oh also she recommended that I look into FFS, but I know that would be hella expensive. But anyway, seeing you have gone through with hormones and are wearing a binder seems like something I can see myself doing.
I hope you can get the treatment you need! Transitioning as a non-binary person definitely has it’s road blocks, but if you few like you need HRT, I really hope you’re able to get it. There was a medication that someone talked about in a comment to me (a medicine that is essentially estrogen but you don’t grow breasts?). I’ll look it up and get back to you, maybe it’s something you can mention to your doctor (if you haven’t already)
raloxifene is the name of the medication. It’s typically used for patients with breast cancer, it’s basically estrogen but doesn’t effect your breasts from what I am understanding. I haven’t used it nor have I asked for it but I had a few people mention it to me.
@@brynnavery Thanks for looking that up! You're really generous to do that. Um, yeah so I asked my dr about that drug and she said it wouldn't be approved for gender transition and that it has some potential side effects that she wouldn't be willing to try with me. Oh well. The search continues!!!!
@@Starmander no problem ☺️ aww that sucks! Well hopefully you find something that works for you. I used to have a friend (ftm) who started wearing a binder when he was like 11 or 12 (before his chest really grew into anything) and he was pretty sure it kind of “stunted” his chest growth, and as far as I know, his chest didn’t ever get very large. So that’s an idea as well, to wear a binder and start estrogen and maybe it’ll offset it in your favor a bit.
@@brynnavery oh that's an interesting idea. Hmmmm. I'll look into that. You've been super helpful. I'll probably pop up on one of your comment sections again
This was super relatable thank you, i so often find that people's stories about their gender make it seem like lots of things were really clear for them from quite early on, or at least relative to how it is for me lol, so it was great to hear you talk about yours in this way. I'm glad it seems to be working out so well for you :)))
I’m glad you can connect with what I’m saying. I see that a lot too-that people always “just knew.” As if it’s that simple. And for some people I guess it is, but for me it’s been a lot different than that. Thank you for your comment, it always makes me happy to hear from the people who relate to my videos. 💛
@@brynnavery Mmmm yeah I think a lot of people feel pressure to present as always having "just known" because otherwise it can seem like your identity is gonna be way easier to question. And I think also because it can be so difficult to talk about these things and present in different ways when you don't "know", all the people I see who are living in ways that might be how I want to live are people who are already really confident in that part of their identity (or at least they seem to be). That can make it hard to imagine how it might not always have been that way, and that's part of why it's so great to see you talking about it because if I just met you I'd probably have assumed it was always clear to you because it seems so natural for you now! You seem like you're being really honest with yourself in your videos and it's super helpful, so thanks
I relate to a lot of your story. I ended up denying my trans identity for a long time because I couldn't relate to trans women's stories. They were so confident that they are women and I so wasn't. I also didn't think I was a boy/man and this was SO confusing to me. I didn't know what non-binary or genderqueer or anything was. I only really knew what Gigi Goregeous was telling me on youtube. I didn't feel like a woman or identify as a woman, I just wanted to look kinda like one. I definitely didn't want to look like a boy. It took me several years, nearly a decade, to fully realize and accept that I am not a boy or a girl and I don't have to be either. It's taking me even longer to realize I don't have to look a certain way to be non-binary as well. You're videos have honestly been such a huge help in discovering who I am and accepting myself. It is nice to be able to have someone I can actually relate to, even if our experiences are a bit different. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with us!
I know exactly how you feel. Especially when you feel like you’re not a boy but you’re disconnected from womanhood as well and it can just feel so confusing. I’m really glad you were able to figure it out, I’m sure that’s such a relief. I’ve never felt connected to trans women (in a “were the same” kind of way), and that always confused me. I’m really glad my story is able to help you. You are valid 💛
💛💛💛 every once in a while I scroll back to find it again. That was one of the first times (if not *the* first time) that I admitted I wasn’t happy as a trans girl. And it was so confusing but it was nice to acknowledge that.
I‘m in a phase of deciding if transitioning is going to make me happier and if it’s something that I need. I‘m also trans neutrois/androgynous and your view on things help me a lot! Greets from Germany✨✨
That totally makes sense. It’s a personal choice and you’re valid regardless. There’s never any rush to figure things out. I’m glad my videos have been able to help you!! Much love 💛
Thank you so much for putting your experience out there! I have been struggling with whether or not i want to go on hormones for a few years now because i do like to present somewhat masculine sometimes, i feel like I'm more femme for sure but on another one of your videos you were saying something about social dysphoria and your gf just saying you shouldn't care what people think, that's one of the main reasons i don't know because idk if im just doing it because i care too much what people think, but when you said its like you feel like you aren't connecting with people it kind of clicked a little bit. I want people to see me as a more feminine person and treat me as such and im just so tired of people seeing me as a boy if i choose to wear more androgynes clothing one day. i definitely feel like i would feel more myself if i was a woman in masc clothes than a boy in masc clothes. and i do def like to femme out all the way sometimes but i hate feeling like a boy in a dress. you are amazing! thanks so much for being here to share your story!
That makes so much sense. It can definitely be really confusing/frustrating trying to figure out what you want/need. Good luck with your journey and figuring everything out!! 💛💛💛
This resonated a lot with me. Similar internal struggle over wanting to be a neutral to masculine lesbian (or as they call soft-butch) and worrying whether that invalidates me wanting so desperately to be a woman. I am curious though, what do you consider masculine? Referring to the part where you say you don't see yourself as masculine but just "neutral"?
I promise it doesn’t invalidate you, although I totally understand the struggle of feeling invalidated. In terms of what is masculine, I don’t have an exact definition or even specific traits. It’s more of an “energy” type of thing is the best way I know how to explain it. For example, I can dress how what the world would see as masculine but masculinity simply doesn’t resonate with me. Masculinity never made sense to me. What it means to “feel masculine” feels very very foreign to me. The world sees gender as binary-male or female. Where as my gender feels like a range between feminine and androgynous/neutral. But I see those three “genders” (masculine, feminine, and androgynous/neutral) as like, three points on a triangle. But since society sees masculine and feminine, my androgynous behaviors/traits can be read as masculine. But I’ve never felt like I had a masculine energy, which is why masculinity doesn’t resonate with me. I know I’m probably kind of repeating why I said in the video, I just don’t have the words to describe the “difference” between masculine and neutral to me. Hopefully what I said makes sense or helps to explain it.
OH! I also wanted to say the part about liking lesbians, like thinking they are really cool. Super relatable! I have always thoughts lesbians are the best. I used to say that I wish I was a lesbian. I think it's largely because I equated lesbian to being a more masculine/neutral woman. Which, I realize is problematic and not always accurate, so please excuse my 14 year old self. What I now realize is it's the closest example I had to how I felt about myself.
That’s exactly how I feel/felt. I thought lesbians were the best because they were “androgynous women” or “non feminine women” and obviously I know as well that that terminology and that generalization is flawed and untrue but that, just like you said, was the closest example I had to myself. Up until recently even, I’ve felt like my gender identity/expression was compromised when I would date men because most of my boyfriends have been straight and so I believed I had to be feminine. Which turned me off to men. But now I know I can be androgynous or however I wanna be and be with a man.
Don’t get me wrong I do like women too! Probably much more than men (in general) but I think I’m feeling more comfortable with the idea of men because I don’t feel reduced to femininity
@@brynnavery That makes perfect sense. I am still struggling with the idea of dating because I am worried about feeling like I have to fit into some idea of masculinity or femininity. I feel like I can relate a lot with your stories and struggles. I am so happy you are more comfortable with dating and have realized you can be yourself in a relationship. It's helped me to learn the same lesson. Thank you so much for all the content you make, it's truly so helpful. Keep being you. I hope you are doing well!
Oh my god 12:00 is just,,, it’s just exactly how I feel, and I’ve been struggling trying to find the words, thank you for sharing your story, it’s really helping me. PS I’m Alex not Elijah lol 😊
13:08 I feel this so much. I've thought and felt this so many times. Like a permanent outsider that just doesn't really fit in anywhere. Do you still feel like that now?
First off, I’m sorry you’re experiencing that, I know that’s not really a fun thing to feel. Yes and no. I do still feel different than everyone else. But I think meeting queer and trans people and being close with other trans people has helped me to feel like everyone is unique. Sometimes we simplify things down into labels, which can be helpful, but even within each label there is so much variation. And so in the past I’ve felt like there’s me, who’s so complex and “outside” of the norm, and then there’s everyone else who is all the same as each other. But now I feel like all of those people that I thought were “the same” as each other, are actually just as complex as I am. I also feel a lot more secure in my identity than I did back when I made that video, and so that definitely helps. I do still feel different, but it doesn’t feel like a negative thing anymore. If you’re still struggling with that, I’d definitely recommend to try and get in touch with other trans people, if there’s any trans groups in your area or even an online video trans group. Or even just finding stuff online, like on TH-cam or Reddit. And even seeking out experiences different from yours. Meeting other trans & non binary people and seeing how even with our similarities, their experiences are so vastly different, has really helped me feel secure. Learning that every person is an individual and not “just a label” was really helpful for me. Much love 💛
@@brynnaveryThank you for your suggestions. I'm definitely working on trying to be more accepting of myself and loving myself for who I am and juggling accepting my identity as well as not letting it define me. There's a lot of internalized toxicity to wade through and try to undo, but it's something I know I need to do. I think part of the difficulty is having society perceive you one way and try to confine you into that box, while you're trying to break out of it and don't fit in it but having to kind of battle that resistance both within and outside of yourself which adds that extra burden. So then you kind of feel as though you need to swing into an opposite direction to get people to see you another way, but then that isn't necessarily the place you want to be either. Very complicated, lol. I suppose I need to get comfortable with not having an easily defined identity or presentation, and be ok with other's discomfort or confusion.
Also there is not a lot of amab enby people talking about their experiences and there is defenetly a lack of visibility compared to afab enby… so just know your visibility helps a lot 🙏🏼hugs

Edit: I mean if only it was never weird.
You are cute!
