I just want to clarify that at the time of uploading this, I still misunderstood who I was and thought I was a man - which is WHY I have stubble and a deepish voice here. To be honest, I don't think those things are exclusively male - women can have stubble and a deep voice just like men can have smooth skin and a high voice - but I am seeing a lot of people misunderstand my appearance BEYOND my syndrome here. AGAIN TO CLARIFY - I AM A TRANS WOMAN BUT AT THE TIME OF RECORDING THIS VIDEO, I STILL THOUGHT I WAS A MAN. Thank you.
+Stef Sanjati YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! I love how u don't care what others think about you! so inspirational!! fwaaaaaaaaa love you !!! ABSOLUTLEY STUNNING
+Stef Sanjati MY GOODNESS you are absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for sharing, I loved learning about Waardenburg Syndrome, I have never heard about it before- BRAVO.
you know that awkward moment when one of the most beautiful people you've ever seen tells you that they used to be extremely self conscious about the way they look...?
Sechari That's everyone. Literally every person. When you feel self conscious about yourself, always know that the most wonderful and beautiful people you know of feel that way sometimes too. You're never alone in how you feel, even if it seems impossible. Our feelings sometimes have a way of isolating us, which is unfortunate because they're the biggest thing we all have in common.
I've never seen any of your other videos and I don't know how I got here, but I am so impressed by you. You seem to be such a genuine and incredibly intelligent individual.
I was always appalled by the blatant sexism in the group's name. X-Men? *Men*? The point is, our group will be forward-thinking. Gender neutral. From now on, we'll be known as... X-Force.
When I first saw you it didn't register that you were "different." I still don't. I just thought it was normal variation we all have. Your eyes are beautiful, really.
So, You have Blue glowing eyes,hair that grows real fast, A cool white patch of hair in the front and a great personality and people make fun of this????? I don't understand humans! ❤
sham wow It seriously boggles my mind!!. People pay a lot of money on contacts,hair extensions,hair dye etc. Just 2 have what SHE HAS naturally! Plus,shes has a great outlook on life,especially in the other video, That,u can't buy in any store!
So, ur saying everyone has a right to an opinion and to think what they want(wich is true)Then you finish off the sentence by saying it was unnecessary for my comment tho?? Ok.👍😒
hmm... Is my comment unnecessary too, because it's basically along the same lines as Melissa's... Your comment on opinions doesn't really even stem from anything, it's just...there...
Not sure why this popped up in my feed but I'm so glad it did. You are so beautiful and your spirit is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to explain what Waardenburg syndrome is.
When I first saw your picture I just thought you were and are very beautiful. I didn’t notice anything different than anyone else except your beauty, perfect skin, and beautiful eyes. I love your happy down to earth bubbly personality.
I met someone with Waardenburg syndrome when I was at college, and I'm really chocked with the similar appearance. Your beauty is unique, and you are an amazing person. Good luck in your channel! ❤️
I have no idea who you are and no idea why this video was recommended to me on TH-cam, but I just wanted to say I think you're so beautiful. I will be watching more videos. Thank you for letting people know that being different is actually amazing.
Your attitude towards yourself is such an inspiration. When you said 'Unique', it totally made me realize I should look at my own features that way instead of 'substandard'. You are so accepting and loving of yourself, yet you do not come off as self-absorbed, elitist etc. Anyway, I really like that. And you will have an effect on the world by exhibiting that and inspiring others. Thank you for being you!!
+J Carter Its always those people with symptoms, disorders, or out-of-this-world health conditions that are so accepting, loving, and outgoing. Many of us who came on this planet with no such issues should really learn a thing or two
My immediate reaction was, "What a beautiful woman!" By the end of the video I was thinking, "What an incredibly, astonishingly beautiful woman!" And I love your nose. I am so sorry about the deafness: that must be a challenge. How clearly you express yourself. You are a gifted public speaker.
@@elpanchosancho2314 actually, I'm bisexual, I do know it, And I don't care what gender a person is, beautiful is beautiful. (And apparently ignorance is still ignorance.)
I honestly find the bigger space between your eyes to be extremely beautiful and unique (in a good way!) it makes you look almost angelic and doll like, you're absolutely stunning!
Who in their right mind would insult your appearance? Along with being beautiful, your personality is amazing! I wish I had such bright blue eyes like yours!
+Nephyra Youkai "Who in their right mind would insult your appearance?" You do know you live in a planet where people believe in stupid shit like gods, right? Expecting something from the human specie is stupid.
ikr? the only bad side about this syndrome looks like is the hearing problem, the physique is normal, people have so many different eyes lips nose shape and sizes you can't really tell weather you're strange looking or not .. the only really noticeable thing may be the eyes , but again there is people with eyes very close to each others, which isnt even that uncommon so, if people would tell me I look like an alien ild love it who doesn't love aliens! and he looks gorgeous by the way, who tells him different or pokes fun must be jealous

Crazy thing is that people go to plastic surgeons requesting your facial features. You're beautiful and I hope you know it! Wishing you all the best! Thanks for sharing.
Had you not mentioned any of these unique features I would have never noticed. Isn't it funny what some people see as "weird" and others see as beautiful? Thanks for the explanation. The more we know about each other...the better. Good luck to you...
You popped up in my suggested videos and I honestly never would have thought that there was something genetically "wrong" with you. Everyone of us are made unique, and you're probably one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen.
I don’t know why anyone would say anything negative about your eyes - they’re absolutely stunning. Your face is fascinating so we can be sure that people are just jealous of you.
Thanks for the beauty explanation. Your ability to put words together, describing beauty., a thing so esoteric, and do so with humor and flagrant self acceptance is joy inducing! Looking forward to getting to know you better. 🦋
Because they're common, maybe? I don't know. People probably overlook the fact they're pretty, and just focus on that. I find it rather unfair that brown eyes are seen that way, because honestly they're all very different if you look closely enough, and that's really cool.
The first thing I noticed when I saw your video was your Beautiful eyes. I didn't notice anything wrong with at all. Your nose looks normal to me. And as far as the distance of your eyes, well I didn't notice that until you said something. And I kept looking to try & figure that out myself. Well, they are a bit apart, but you are still gorgeous. I saw some comments that some ladies want to look like you. Wrll I don't. There should only be one you. You are a Beautiful Unique Human being. I am proud you made this video. Keep being you!! God Bless!!
Not the hair growth where body hair is visible. Kids are heavily influenced by their peers and even at preteen stage, talk about leg hair removal..even arm hair. I personally wouldn't care about the brows but it's a personal thing as one gets older. The hearing loss sucks of course so the mum is lucky.
Who knows. People like this back in time might be the reason the story's/legends about elves started, in the same way hypertrichosis started the idea about werewolf's.
Hey stef, I have waardenburg as well. i have large hearing loss in my right ear, and white patches on some parts of my body. but i don't have the features as you do. good luck, keep doing what you're doing, and stay strong! :)
You have a great character. Thank you for sharing this personal information about yourself. It really shows a good heart how you are willing to open up and share how important it is to love yourself
May I say that this person is stunningly beautiful? Not in the "Oh honey, you look pretty despite your disorder, it just makes you soooo special" kind of way, it's more like "I'm so fascinated, I can't take my eyes off you". It's not even about the outward appearance, it's about the gentle, honest and lively personality. The physical beauty is just a bonus :D
I came to the comments to say exactly this but you did all the words already. I thoroughly agree, and find Stef entrancing. Handsome man, beautiful woman, gorgeous human.
Whoa I think this syndrome really doesn’t make you look “ugly” yes you’re unique but very beautiful especially the hair part it’s very advantageous, your eyes are beautiful, i guess the hearing part is a disadvantage but your looks is superb beauty I want to see you in a more larger population and be like a voice or a representative to let the world know people like you exist your beautiful
You are extremely attractive, like my eyes have trouble pulling their gaze off your face. I am an old lady so I am not trying to sound all up in your everything, but Among any other career plans I think you would do well in modelling. My mom always told me "If you've got it, flaunt it!" If you do go into any careers like modelling, I would always keep a bodyguard with me if I were you. Understand the career is usually 10-15 years then they toss you aside. Better yet, choose 1 photographer and you get to control the images you want released just like Marilyn Monroe did (beautiful and savvy). A group photo of you with other Waardenberg Syndrome people would be interesting to see. You are strikingly beautiful, no one can say you're not. Thank you for your candor.God bless you.
Im 53. Hetero. White. Libertarian. My thoughts> You are beautiful & you look amazing. Very unique. You're a living anime. Amazing eyes. Thank God for people like you.
i respect you so much. everything your about and stand for. its amazing. my close friend has wardenburg syndrome and this was so inspirational for her. thank you. you are so beautiful. keep being who you are. youre perfect! thanks again!
More power too her! People with Waardenburg Syndrome, Albinism, and similar conditions can be beautiful like anyone else. I would not even call them disorders, because the people who have them function fine, with only minor issues.
I really don't understand why people would target you for your eyes because FUCK they're gorgeous! And I personally think the space between them looks super cute. ; u ;
You are beautiful and I learnt so much from you about this syndrome, that I knew nothing about! Thank you for educating us. The first video of you I'm watching and you are super gorgeous!
KillrCook I watched this for the thumbnail! Thought you were a very pretty girl with STRIKING eyes!!! I'm a staight guy,no curiosity, but you are gorgeous! Good luck with you continuing transformation! And yeah you look like every Tolkien elf should look!!!
My first husband was death on his left side and I always walked, sat on his right and now even though he is not with me anymore I still automatically stay on anyone's right. Your eyes are beautiful and so is everything about you.
@@hcrawford79 😊 I love the humble and respectful correction of spelling with no shade. ❤ Just wanted to point this out. Many blessings to you #EachOneTeachOne
Your face is actually why I started watching your videos. I was like "whoa, look at this mythical fairy, who is she???" I was and still am entranced by your face x)
Honesty, when I first saw you, I did not notice anything "abnormal" about you. I think you are gorgeous! I love your eyes. I also love your attitude. 😉😊
I was researching another genetic disorder and this thumbnail came up. I had to click because of the beauty. I was like "what could possibly be wrong with this lady?"
I was in a Sign Language Interpreter training program and my teacher is one of 2 hearing children. The other 6 had Waardenberg’s Syndrome and all those affected by Waardenberg’s were deaf. Of the children in her family she is the only interpreter. So dinners usually get cold because someone is speaking or signing.
@@sasalala237 first of all I'm not your baby never will be .so don't call me that .... I have a name .. And did I say I was a fucking lesbian ? No? Then why would u assume or think that because her eyes are gorgeous lol I think my eyes are gorgeous to what does that make me now ? I think white tigers are gorgeous to. My ex boyfriends eyes are also gorgeous my Siamese cats eyes are also gorgeous lol . A lot of women and men have gorgeous features doesn't make somebody a lesbian or gay because they observe something beautiful about something or somebody else
Maybe I'm just blind to this sort of thing, but I honestly don't see anything that abnormal about the spacing of your eyes. I mean -- people come in all shapes & sizes with an infinite spectrum of features, so if I were to see you in public, I'd just write it off as just another physical feature.
sixstanger00 I thought the exact same thing when I first clicked on it! I didn’t see anything different until she pointed it out, and even then, I didn’t see any drastic differences
When I saw you I thought, "she's gorgeous. I wish I had eyes like that" :) Mine are small and deep set ( they are pretty bright blue though) I'm so happy you've gotten self acceptance already. At your age many don't. You are a good role model
When I was a child I drew people who looked just like you (no one in my family had this syndrome and I didn't even know it existed until now, though). When I "grew up" and went to art school, my teachers harped on me about proportions; it was so hard to change the way I drew eyes because I just thought I was drawing a beautiful person. They said I was wrong but I say they should have looked harder for the people they didn't seem to be seeing. You're very beautiful and I love your makeup btw!! :3 awesome.
littlestbroccoli Ah, the good old "people have a one-eye width between their eyes" rule, right? Every time I heard any teacher tell me that I would give them the biggest death stare but none of them ever seemed to get it. Next time I hear that, I'm just gonna say, "Mine aren't in that proportion, so you're wrong" and see what happens. Lord.
Stefan Sanjati most teachers aren't exactly the greatest people you'd think they should be, people always judge by looks instead of what is in the inside, one day it will be the greatest downfall for those that do, it's a shame they don't teach that in school.
+Cookie Lover you ask about their gender but use male pronouns.(?) I'm no longer sure if all you guys are asking what Stef identifies as or what "parts" she has.
I don't see anything unusual in that face: looks beautiful to me! As for hair color< people color it in all shades and colors, including rather weird ones...
I have waardenburg and so does my 2 year old daughter. I hope you know I will be showing her this video when she's older. I wish I had someone like you when I was growing up.
this is really interesting! I never would have though you had any kind of syndrome because to me you just look like a perfectly 'normal' person. I think it's because typically we associate the words syndrome and mutation with features that make you 'ugly' which is 100% false and you are living proof that a syndrome/mutation does not make you ugly. you are a beautiful, strong, inspiring elven prince!
I have alopecia (an autoimmune condition that makes you bald) and I have literally no confidence. I think I look horrific. But you inspire me to love my features and look at them with a smile. Thank you :)
I dont't know you but I love when people who have genetic anomalies educate another people about their disease. Thanks somebody like our world becomes bigger because we know more. I love learning about everything because knowlege is the most wonderful thing in the world. I never heard before about waardenburg syndrome so one more time thank you for make my world bigger
Agreed, and it is much more educational than documentaries on these topics which tend to be interesting but also distant in perspective. I love how "down to earth" you explain everything, and I couldn't help but smile a little when you said "I'll walk into you" regarding your hearing - your description was so vivid on it I was immediately getting it. As for questions: the hearing impairment in your left ear, is there a treatment possible ? Like hearing aid connected to the auditory nervous system? I'm having full hearing, and large crowds or noisy restaurants make me panicky too (or nauseous), it must be living hell for someone being bombarded in one ear. Thanks again for this video... I'm off to watch part II now :)
I stumbled on your video while searching for an example of Waardenburg syndrome. Your eyes and indeed your facial structure is wonderful. Unique and fascinating. But watching the full video I realized that you are a unique and fascinating person thus your looks are appropriate to WHO you are, Truly decent people are a minority in the modern world so I wish you every success and above all else happiness. You chose not to mention the issues the syndrome can have on the digestive tract which I totally understand and respect. Drink lots of fluids, eat lost of fruit. Thank you for making a bad day into a good day.
Thank you for this. I have profound, irreversible single side deafness from a brain tumor. Your description of what it's like was perfect. So much beauty in this video.
+Michael Hendry Having a genetic disorder is not a choice but deciding to never have children is. It seems to me that instead of increasing peoples awareness you are trying to shove it down their throat. Misery loves company.
+Michael Hendry To be fair... there's nothing wrong with Stef. She said it's minor and only impairs her hearing. We're talking about Stef, not you. Universe revolving yadadayadada.
I just wanted to say, when I first clicked on this video I couldn't even tell that there was anything different about your face, I actually think you look gorgeous!
Beautiful person whichever way you present yourself. Thank you for educating us. Great heart, great smile. Intelligent, Articulate you have it all. You are an excellent ambassador for humanity. Top job. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
you are legit so beautiful. I find people with waardenburg syndrome absolutely stunning. I love the eyes and the look of it all. It’s so unique and beautiful and overall a stunning thing to look at.
I think you are a beautiful and poised young person who is making a difference for other young people that need answers and support. Thank you for caring and for sharing. Good fortune!

Aside from the hearing loss, everything else seems like a bonus! You are absolutely beautiful.

I personally wouldn't care about the brows but it's a personal thing as one gets older. The hearing loss sucks of course so the mum is lucky.
Hearing loss doesn't inherently suck, it can be quite fun actually.
Yep - definitely elven, and absolutely gorgeous. I *love* how diverse people are, because it makes life so damned beautiful.
Who knows. People like this back in time might be the reason the story's/legends about elves started, in the same way hypertrichosis started the idea about werewolf's.
U look like an upgraded human
Jamie Joan yassss
Lol what's a upgraded human anyhow I love it
I agree!!!
Jamie Joan one of those china dolls
Lol that about sums it up better version of what we are now lol
Hey stef, I have waardenburg as well. i have large hearing loss in my right ear, and white patches on some parts of my body. but i don't have the features as you do. good luck, keep doing what you're doing, and stay strong! :)
You have a great character. Thank you for sharing this personal information about yourself. It really shows a good heart how you are willing to open up and share how important it is to love yourself
May I say that this person is stunningly beautiful?
Not in the "Oh honey, you look pretty despite your disorder, it just makes you soooo special" kind of way, it's more like "I'm so fascinated, I can't take my eyes off you".
It's not even about the outward appearance, it's about the gentle, honest and lively personality. The physical beauty is just a bonus :D
I totally agree!! I find these people to be absolutely stunning
Yes! Absolutely agree!
+DieGinny I couldn't agree more.
I came to the comments to say exactly this but you did all the words already. I thoroughly agree, and find Stef entrancing. Handsome man, beautiful woman, gorgeous human.
I also came down here to say the same thing. Such a captivating appearance and I am super jealous :)
Whoa I think this syndrome really doesn’t make you look “ugly” yes you’re unique but very beautiful especially the hair part it’s very advantageous, your eyes are beautiful, i guess the hearing part is a disadvantage but your looks is superb beauty
I want to see you in a more larger population and be like a voice or a representative to let the world know people like you exist your beautiful
You are extremely attractive, like my eyes have trouble pulling their gaze off your face. I am an old lady so I am not trying to sound all up in your everything, but Among any other career plans I think you would do well in modelling. My mom always told me "If you've got it, flaunt it!" If you do go into any careers like modelling, I would always keep a bodyguard with me if I were you. Understand the career is usually 10-15 years then they toss you aside. Better yet, choose 1 photographer and you get to control the images you want released just like Marilyn Monroe did (beautiful and savvy). A group photo of you with other Waardenberg Syndrome people would be interesting to see. You are strikingly beautiful, no one can say you're not. Thank you for your candor.God bless you.
I love that you just told her a career option as a possibility and then gave advice on a hypothetical situation. Grandma vibes. ❤️👵
Im 53. Hetero. White. Libertarian. My thoughts> You are beautiful & you look amazing. Very unique. You're a living anime. Amazing eyes. Thank God for people like you.
Chasers are creepy lol
@@metatron6066 what
Sounds gay to me
i respect you so much. everything your about and stand for. its amazing. my close friend has wardenburg syndrome and this was so inspirational for her. thank you. you are so beautiful. keep being who you are. youre perfect! thanks again!
waardenburg*
More power too her! People with Waardenburg Syndrome, Albinism, and similar conditions can be beautiful like anyone else. I would not even call them disorders, because the people who have them function fine, with only minor issues.
i have so many more questions.

Who is this ? I'm intrigued by this beautiful person
I really don't understand why people would target you for your eyes because FUCK they're gorgeous! And I personally think the space between them looks super cute. ; u ;

I was drawn to your video by your eyes, they are mesmerizing lol.

I watched this after your 4 month on Estrogen video and was amazed because your voice has changed a lot!
saaaaaame
+Rosa Hetsen Yes, yes, I, as well, just watched the April 2016 4 month video and then this one. What a transformation. Absolutely wonderful.
+Rosa Hetsen I was JUST about to make this comment !!
estrogen doesn't change the pitch of your voice, but he rvoice has gotten higher 😍
+karla hernandez Haha me too!
My first husband was death on his left side and I always walked, sat on his right and now even though he is not with me anymore I still automatically stay on anyone's right. Your eyes are beautiful and so is everything about you.
Just wanted you to know that not being able to hear is called "deaf" honey, not death. Death is what happens after life.

Thank you for this video. My husband and daughter have Waardenburg and it’s great to watch this to be more informed.
Your face is actually why I started watching your videos. I was like "whoa, look at this mythical fairy, who is she???" I was and still am entranced by your face x)
+easilyamused713 Your name fits so well I must add
+sean guglietti you know it's a very old one, and sometimes I think I should change it, but then I realize why would I x)
+easilyamused713 I know what you mean, her face caught my attention.
Are you kidding me!? You're gorgeous!!!
Ikr!!
Honesty, when I first saw you, I did not notice anything "abnormal" about you. I think you are gorgeous! I love your eyes. I also love your attitude. 😉😊
I was researching another genetic disorder and this thumbnail came up. I had to click because of the beauty. I was like "what could possibly be wrong with this lady?"
Exactly.
lmao sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@@q.t.gamingfamily , This is a guy. He said when he did big drag lips
.
@@SLLiveMusicLover she is a woman, and a gorgeous one at that. Don’t refer to her as a man
I was in a Sign Language Interpreter training program and my teacher is one of 2 hearing children. The other 6 had Waardenberg’s Syndrome and all those affected by Waardenberg’s were deaf. Of the children in her family she is the only interpreter. So dinners usually get cold because someone is speaking or signing.
I clicked this vid because your gorgeous eyes caught my eye
So do you like girls juicy apple
@@sasalala237 what kind of question is that weather I like girls or not lol and juicy apple ? Wtf
@@heatherleigh4922 sorry i thought you are a lesbian! never mind baby
@@sasalala237 first of all I'm not your baby never will be .so don't call me that .... I have a name .. And did I say I was a fucking lesbian ? No? Then why would u assume or think that because her eyes are gorgeous lol I think my eyes are gorgeous to what does that make me now ? I think white tigers are gorgeous to. My ex boyfriends eyes are also gorgeous my Siamese cats eyes are also gorgeous lol . A lot of women and men have gorgeous features doesn't make somebody a lesbian or gay because they observe something beautiful about something or somebody else
@@sasalala237 and technicaly she was actually born a male so still wouldn't make me a lesbian idiot.
Maybe I'm just blind to this sort of thing, but I honestly don't see anything that abnormal about the spacing of your eyes. I mean -- people come in all shapes & sizes with an infinite spectrum of features, so if I were to see you in public, I'd just write it off as just another physical feature.
sixstanger00 I thought the exact same thing when I first clicked on it! I didn’t see anything different until she pointed it out, and even then, I didn’t see any drastic differences
I didn't notice a thing 😻
You look like a regular person and you're very pretty.
the way you talk is very soothing. i could listen to you talk for hours.
+Nani Pu Same
SAMe
+Nani Pu I was thinking that too, but I didn't know how to word it! haha
SAME
I know I love it. I could fall asleep listening to theses videos lol
I wish everyone at every school could see this. So many people at school are so insecure when they actually look perfectly fine. 😢
I think your eyes are your best feature tbh. your eyes look stunning! your perfect don't sweat the haters, they're just jealous ❤️
***** radiohead!!!!!!
Mean comments are often motivated by jealousy. I hope you know you are beautiful.
When I saw you I thought, "she's gorgeous. I wish I had eyes like that" :) Mine are small and deep set ( they are pretty bright blue though) I'm so happy you've gotten self acceptance already. At your age many don't. You are a good role model
Kelly Creasey Omg I was thinking the same thing. My eyes are small, deep set, and bright blue as well. :)
Kelly Creasey But it's a boy? or isn't it
yES
I genuinely believe Waardenburg syndrome makes beautiful faces. Like so uniquely beautiful. I can’t stop looking at how beautiful your eyes are ❤️
When I was a child I drew people who looked just like you (no one in my family had this syndrome and I didn't even know it existed until now, though). When I "grew up" and went to art school, my teachers harped on me about proportions; it was so hard to change the way I drew eyes because I just thought I was drawing a beautiful person. They said I was wrong but I say they should have looked harder for the people they didn't seem to be seeing. You're very beautiful and I love your makeup btw!! :3 awesome.
littlestbroccoli Ah, the good old "people have a one-eye width between their eyes" rule, right? Every time I heard any teacher tell me that I would give them the biggest death stare but none of them ever seemed to get it. Next time I hear that, I'm just gonna say, "Mine aren't in that proportion, so you're wrong" and see what happens. Lord.
littlestbroccoli Great comment.. I couldn't agree more with you!! ✌
Stefan Sanjati most teachers aren't exactly the greatest people you'd think they should be, people always judge by looks instead of what is in the inside, one day it will be the greatest downfall for those that do, it's a shame they don't teach that in school.
you just look like an elf princess to me...
Your username |-/

Hello my fellow piece of trash
Is he a guy? Lol it's a guy right?? I ain't trying to be mean I just curious -3- love da makeup lol
+Cookie Lover you ask about their gender but use male pronouns.(?) I'm no longer sure if all you guys are asking what Stef identifies as or what "parts" she has.
YOUR EYES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD HOLY SHIT THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I know! Incredible, aren't they? Her eyes are amazing 😍
I know right! She's so gorgeous
"She" is a man,
amyruulz SHE is transgender. So please respect that.
your profile photo is amazing
wowowow!! so so pretty! never heard of this, thank you for sharing!
I actually had no idea there was something different about your face. I just thought you looked really cute ^_^
After the intro I was trying to work out what was different, she just seemed very normal, albeit stunning
I don't see anything unusual in that face: looks beautiful to me! As for hair color< people color it in all shades and colors, including rather weird ones...
TH-cam recommended this video. Now I'm subscribing. Good job youtube and thanks.
Okay you're so beautiful the way you are. Omg I'm sooooo so glad that youtube this vid. Ok i love you bye

me too thanks youtube *subs*

Elven Goddess. Enough said.
+Sephiria Valenten i think you mean gods LOL!!!
Lethal_bacon 24 Nope. I meant Goddess, just as I said. Male or not Stef looks like an Elven Goddess. You can't prove someones option wrong.
steph as for stephen? LOL
+Lethal_bacon 24 stfu you weeb
+Sephiria Valenten God* No one cares about your opinion i just proved your "option" wrong
I have waardenburg and so does my 2 year old daughter. I hope you know I will be showing her this video when she's older. I wish I had someone like you when I was growing up.
this is really interesting! I never would have though you had any kind of syndrome because to me you just look like a perfectly 'normal' person. I think it's because typically we associate the words syndrome and mutation with features that make you 'ugly' which is 100% false and you are living proof that a syndrome/mutation does not make you ugly. you are a beautiful, strong, inspiring elven prince!
You're correct! It's a stigma associated with words like that, because people see it as shameful to be anything other than ordinary. It's unfortunate.
i honestly cant get over how pretty you are like how
Omg you're a Targaryen, that's sweet.
You’re beautifully and wonderfully made! Thank you for your video!
I don't know if there's something wrong with me but I cannot see the "problem" with your face... I mean, you look completely normal to me ! ^_^'
+Isis Cacahouète I know what you mean because I do not see anything unusual about her face either. I think she is pretty.
+Isis Cacahouète Exactly! totally agree with you! :D
+Isis Cacahouète Me too!
Yes!The only thing I see is the lips, overlip, but shes beautiful, love her eyes!!
+Isis Cacahouète Same. The only thing unusual or strange I see is the lack of a cupid's bow and the face shape :P
I have alopecia (an autoimmune condition that makes you bald) and I have literally no confidence. I think I look horrific. But you inspire me to love my features and look at them with a smile. Thank you :)
I bet your a beautiful person inside and out but I think being bald shows empowerment and shows how much of a queen you are
+Skye Peterson Google "Alopecia henna tattoos". The pictures are stunning and inspirational.
One of my favorite youtubers has alopecia. Her name is heythereimshannon if you want to check her out
Skye, you are beautiful (: and so so precious, please know that. And please never think other wise.
thanks everyone :)
I dont't know you but I love when people who have genetic anomalies educate another people about their disease. Thanks somebody like our world becomes bigger because we know more. I love learning about everything because knowlege is the most wonderful thing in the world. I never heard before about waardenburg syndrome so one more time thank you for make my world bigger
Agreed, and it is much more educational than documentaries on these topics which tend to be interesting but also distant in perspective. I love how "down to earth" you explain everything, and I couldn't help but smile a little when you said "I'll walk into you" regarding your hearing - your description was so vivid on it I was immediately getting it.
As for questions: the hearing impairment in your left ear, is there a treatment possible ? Like hearing aid connected to the auditory nervous system? I'm having full hearing, and large crowds or noisy restaurants make me panicky too (or nauseous), it must be living hell for someone being bombarded in one ear.
Thanks again for this video... I'm off to watch part II now :)
I stumbled on your video while searching for an example of Waardenburg syndrome. Your eyes and indeed your facial structure is wonderful. Unique and fascinating.
But watching the full video I realized that you are a unique and fascinating person thus your looks are appropriate to WHO you are,
Truly decent people are a minority in the modern world so I wish you every success and above all else happiness.
You chose not to mention the issues the syndrome can have on the digestive tract which I totally understand and respect. Drink lots of fluids, eat lost of fruit.
Thank you for making a bad day into a good day.
Omg I'm actually in love with your eyes

+Michael Hendry Having a genetic disorder is not a choice but deciding to never have children is. It seems to me that instead of increasing peoples awareness you are trying to shove it down their throat. Misery loves company.

I didn't even notice it. Face looks fine to me. SO many people have "normal" faces with differences. Big nose, little nose, etc. You are pretty.
You have awesome eyes & you look perfect just the way you are
