I know that the first person I told was my dad that I wanted to transition to being a woman and he has been very supportive, I am glad and if you know anyone in the united States there is one state that has it to where every health insurance company by 2023 has to cover transitional surgeries and that state is Colorado where I live and I am happy to be on the list and I am also looking at every surgery done I have suffered from gender dysphoria for years and my father wasn't shocked what shocked him and my roommate is the fact that I have waited for years to tell anyone it's not easy coming out
You do not need a gender therapist in the US. Once you turn 18 you can just get access to hormones from any doctor that will do it or at planned parenthood through the informed consent model.
I only realized I was trans a year and a half ago. In my childhood and youth there were no signs of it. This sometimes makes me doubt my knowledge of being trans, because most of the Trans-people are already recognizable at a young age. I'm a little confused about that. And thank you for this video.
You can be a feminine male or a masculine female . If you're " confused " , just be yourself . You don't have to " identify " as anything but YOURSELF ! Stop looking outside yourself . Concentrate on you . Your sexual identity doesn't define you or your life goals . Stop buying the lie . Good luck 😘
Similar thing here, I was/have never been super feminine and there were no signs through most of my childhood. Later in puberty (around 15) was where things began to get dysphoric "out of nowhere", but I denied being trans until I was 19.
The experience really depends on WHERE you are, like, if your surroundings made you have to mask your personality, if you have a personality disorder, or if you are autistic (I check all the points), you may have not shown signs at suchan early age, but you probably didnt feel exactly comfortable, but you could not kinda point where it was. But yeah, that is My experience, hope it helps :D
I feel like non knowing your trans while you’re growing up could cause PTSD the way not knowing your on the spectrum often does☹️ Having no idea why you’re struggling or don’t fit in the way you think you should & all that can REALLY make things so much worse… thats why i think its so important to educate kids on all of this a little bit when they’re young despite how conservatives feel about that,..
Your experience mirrored mine, but there were no resources back in the day. I only need the SRS and I'm done. 🤗 I had 640cc implants for my breasts, what the doctor recommended. That was certainly a unique experience waking up with those mountains on my chest; under the muscle like you.
My BF did too, luckily that side of the family lives far away, but yep, good luck in your journey and hope you find people that will show you the love you deserve
I'm sorry that any of you ever got death threats. May each of you be always safe, healed, comforted, and blessed. (And I am a straight cis-gender man, by the way.)
Awesome video you are absolutely beautiful! So happy when the struggle pays off for people in the long run most people don't understand the depression and the void it leaves a person to have to live a life they're completely unhappy with.
Hey Mathilda. Watching your videos makes me feel better about being MtF. And I also live in Sweden so hearing that a lot of the transition stuff is free in Sweden feels good to know.
Every time I watch your videos, and that of Maya Henry, I cannot help but admit how much more woman you are than cis-woman. Your femininity simply oozes out of you. It's amazing.
Excellent resource for new trans. Thank you! Some additional info for later transitions: If you have grey or white hairs, or have naturally lighter hair, laser hair removal will not work. In that case electrolysis is your only option for permanent hair removal. It takes a very long time (like 2 years of weekly appointments for full facial hair removal) but it works. Also if you have male pattern baldness, hair transplant surgery is a great option, plus you need to reduce natural testosterone to prevent further hair loss. The most effective drug for that is finisterre and it can be made in a topical formula.
Bro your mom is so based. I had to come up with a full argument as to why a man shaving their legs isn't a bad thing all so my mom would simply be "fine" with me shaving mine at some point. :sob:
This video has given me answers in my journey that I was not aware of, I have known I was trans since I was six, but due to the way I was raised I was not allowed to come out until I was in my thirties. I'm finally glad that I did and I've gotten a lot of good information from this
Just a tip with pain, I had two major surgeries at once. (I'm not trans btw but it was a major deal) Even though I had morphine afterwards, it makes you very sleepy and is of course addictive. The nurse told me to take paracetamol (Tylenol) REGULARLY and it helped SO MUCH. I didn't think it would but it helped me right through the 3months it took to heal. Ibuprofen is good too... again REGULARLY.
I really enjoy your posts. They are both informative and entertaining. I am a straight male. I am divorced and am dating. If this subject become an issue on dating, I want to be honest. I want to be open. I want to understand. I would never ask a person on a date if they are left handed or right handed. You educate. Thank you. I know you never see this post. Have a beautiful day.
Mathilda I pretty much came out the same way, I came out to my mom and about a year later I came out to my family and friends but now that my mom died I have moved to another state and I like it but I don't because I don't feel comfortable/safe to wear dresses and be myself
In Hungary you cannot change your gender (and your sex is shown on the ID-s). I'm AMAB, I cannot have woman name. However, I chose a unisex name, Alex, that I can also use as Alexa, Lexa etc. so f them :D
I grew up knowing I was "different" without knowing what was different. I didn't "fit in with the boys" to the point I was constantly bullied. But as a boy I wasn't accepted by the girls either, girls and boys socialising was "not done". I never was much into my sister's toys, in part because I hate pink :) but also because my sister wouldn't let me anywhere near them most of the time. Except redecorating her doll house, which I loved doing. And that's how things stayed until past graduating college, still living in a society where there wasn't even a word for "transgender" (and I later found out it was actually illegal to be transgender, or for doctors to assist people with HRT or surgery). I didn't actually find out that transgenderism exists until about a decade ago, and been fighting the realisation ever since that that's what I am, in no small part because of the social stigmas around it, reinforced by the whole media attention with "drag queens" grooming children, men calling themselves women to get into women's dressing rooms to gawk in women changing clothes (or even raping them) and things like that. That wasn't me at all, and I didn't want to be in any way associated with that. Now I've come to accept what I am, and am actively engaging with several transgender friends who're helping me a lot. Here in the Netherlands is sounds similar to Sweden as you describe it, though the timeline and insurance coverage are somewhat different (e.g. you can't even get approval for surgery, let alone get it done (which gets you on waiting lists which can take years) until you've been socially transitioned (and under observation from a specialist mental health professional who has to sign off on it) for 2 years, the same specialist who also has to OK the legal transition and the referral to an endocrynologist for HRT). Given the waiting lists to get to see any specialist here (and the small number of them for this specialisation), in the Netherlands expect 3-4 years at least until you can go under the knife. Which is actually a lot less than I expected it to be based on prior research (which had shown the process to take a decade). The covered surgery here is different from Sweden it seems, but sounds like it's mostly what hurdles are placed before you to get approval for them (as they require stringent approval as "required for mental health" from your psychologist, and that psychologist is under instruction to be as strict as possible to save cost). Cost depends greatly on those medical indications and approvals. If you can get approval, a lot of it is covered by insurance past the mandatory 385 Euro "own risk" per year for any medical expense in the Netherlands. If you can't get approval, the cost goes through the roof. And some things are never covered. Hair removal for example is only conditionally covered ("in case of extreme facial hair growth") and then only for the face. Getting the rest of the body done is all at your own expense, which can (if my calculations are correct) run up to about 10.000 Euro in the Netherlands depending on the exact number of treatments you need. Any blood tests (and you're probably going to need a lot to fine tune your HRT, as well as before and after any surgical procedure) are never covered at all, and can get expensive (just standard tests for my diabetes checks run to about 75 Euros each for example, and I need that done every few months). Vocal training I think isn't covered at all either, though (pending approval by your psychologist, and depending on your existing vocal range) surgery for that might be covered (but from what I understand only if as you have an extremely deep voice). I might luck out there as my vocal cords were damaged by a disease at some point so my voice is rather bad as is (very scratchy, and coughing a LOT) but will have to see what happens when and if I ever get to that stage. I'm in my social transition already while waiting for doctor's appointments, got all new clothes, got some makeup, trying to get shoes that fit (which is hard even as a man for me given the size of my feet). For clothes I went mostly to Etsy. Finding that you can get larger sized clothes there is a godsend, and Bulgarians I noticed are lovely people who make wonderful feminine clothes that look good even if you have a pretty masculine figure still.
bonjour Mathilda,je ne comprends pas l'anglais,je lis le sous titrage que j'espère être fidèle,bref vous expliquez bien de plusieurs sujets,bravo et bonne année
Recommendations for everyone out there if you wanna learn about make up and make up products go to Nikki tutorials on TH-cam and she has a lot of videos on there on make up and how to apply it how to use it with your style and I have watched several of her videos that’s a tip for all of those who are transgender that are curious and wanting to know what myself
You are amazing. Age and family, although most are aware, is the issue and there are times when the guy is in full force, usually of necessity. I just love your vids tho.
If your video’s were being shown to more American viewers, I genuinely believe with all my heart that your channel would be at like 5 mil by now, you should consider trying to collab with an American youtuber that does similar content like Samantha Lux (or anyone you think you’d get along with!!) Alot of youtubers that i watch that are from Canada & the UK get soooo many American based views💕 A lot of Americans are tired of Americans😅 & are catching onto the fact that youtube doesn’t usually recommend anyone in another country unless they’ve collabed with someone else we watch! (I only found you because i was literally searching for Swedish youtubers lol)
How much estrogen should I take daily I'm on 3 patches twice a week each patch 0.1 mg can I take a higher dose safely I've been wearing the patches since 2015
I came out as trans woman sometime around 4-5 or 3 months ago I’m scared my mom is religious and I’m a inbetween of feminine and being masculine but I wanna have a female body but I’m in Texas and that’s a bad place to be for this but I’m scared to come out irl I did on the online community but not irl idk what to do
Im just going to come out and start my transition when i leave home so my parents dont hate me as much and then ima come back after a few years and be like im hot af and a woman and then ill be like what u going to do about it.
this a very cisgendered video to watch. perfect for someone like me who definitely is a cis man and not questioning their entire life and identity right now (someone please help I'm beyond confused)
How am I 21 hours late? lol. As usual, another great video from you, Mathilda. I was kind of sad because I wasn't able to watch your last stream but when will your next stream occur though?
I am not doing well at all because I'm poor have no money Programs won't help me at all the state of Rhode Island continues to ignore me I do not matter to society I'm alone and depressed.

I know that the first person I told was my dad that I wanted to transition to being a woman and he has been very supportive, I am glad and if you know anyone in the united States there is one state that has it to where every health insurance company by 2023 has to cover transitional surgeries and that state is Colorado where I live and I am happy to be on the list and I am also looking at every surgery done I have suffered from gender dysphoria for years and my father wasn't shocked what shocked him and my roommate is the fact that I have waited for years to tell anyone it's not easy coming out
You do not need a gender therapist in the US. Once you turn 18 you can just get access to hormones from any doctor that will do it or at planned parenthood through the informed consent model.
I took my first testosterone blocker and estrogen meds today, and I'm almost 39 (less than a month until my birthday).
Looking forward to the changes.
how've you been holding up? also happy birthday a little late

You don't owe an explanation to anyone. If you feel this is your path, then it is. Keep strong and be the best advocate for yourself as you can

Thank you for putting all of that into one video, amazing idea❤️
Your little captioned "breaks" were so funny. You're a beautiful young lady and as a cis male I'm glad you're happy. 👍🏻
