I’m very glad you’re now living your life and happy. I knew for years that you were somehow numb and disengaged and couldn’t understand why. Now we know and you have found the door to a happier path. Love Dad
I used to watch your offspring videos loads and it's different but I'm ok person I got learning disabilities I'm autistic and got Asperger's syndrome but people treat me like I haven't got it when I have and see past that yep I support autism awareness and also i like both of your offspring but as long she's happy and comfortable that's all that matters 😊👍
Hello Charlie! I'm so incredibly excited to see you back!! I was just watching Dan and Phil's gaming-mas video "Lethal Company" and the whole time I was like "I love Dan and Phil and PJ but I've never seen Charlie she seems really cool" so I decided to look in the description and found that YOU ARE YOU! I genuinely had no idea you were back to TH-cam or had transitioned so I would've never put two and two together without looking into the description. I watched you A LOT when I was younger and you made me very happy, so it is incredibly lovely to see you back and as yourself this time! As someone who is gender fluid who also found themselves during the pandemic, it is so validating seeing other people (especially people who I look up and have been looking up to since I was younger) having a similar experience. Like I genuinely screamed of joy finding out that you're also trans, representation in any form is the most wonderful feeling. You are doing so much for not only the TH-cam community but the trans community as well and I hope you know how much your existence means to other trans people who enjoy your content. Much love and hugs to you! Can't wait to keep watching your videos
I love you with all my heart. I am proud of you. I am so impressed with you. I am grateful you are here to share your wonderful self in any way you wish to share it. Love, Buck
This feels like meeting up with an old childhood friend where we haven’t spoken for in years! We can easily pick up where we last left off and catch up with our life updates 🥰❤
Just thinking I dyed my hair red cause of you, learned to play ukulele because of your music, my nickname everywhere ends with "SoCoolLike" because of your influence in my life since I was 15, I'm 30 now. Seeing this video was like getting back to an old friend and understanding how they are and how they grew. I'm really happy for you Charlie and I just had the most imponderable joy to "meet" you again.
Oh my gosh I haven’t watched you since school (maybe 15 years ago?????) and just randomly decided to look up Charlieissocoollike to see how you are going. I’m so glad you’re happy!
This feels like when you reconnect with an old friend and you both see how much you’ve grown, and it’s so happy and so sad at the same time, and I cried and I am emotional and it’s so nice to meet you again Charlie ♥️
For those of us that grew up alongside you it's beautiful to see, you always cheered up my angsty teenage days. Now you're giving light and a smile to a slightly dodgy mid twenties. Carry on glowing 💕
Charlie you were always the youtuber I enjoyed the most as a teen, I'm now 31, and I feel like I've had a nice chat over a cup of tea with an old friend and am now filled with joy that they are happy and content and living the life they were always meant to. Thank you for this video.
100% agree. I'm glad to hear you found yourself Charlie :) I remember thinking that later into your videos when you were younger that it seemed like you were putting a lot of pressure on yourself and seemed quite anxious at times. You've clearly done a lot of work to become this lovely shiny happy and fulfilled version of yourself. Both in a mental health way and a gender identity way and neither one is easy. You were honestly the only youtuber I ever checked to see if you had updated (and I loved fun science, they were my fave) so after all this time it really is like having a happy update from an old friend. It's nice to be able to meet the beautiful woman that you always were on the inside now on the outside :)
This video feels like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. Despite never actually meeting you, I feel so much joy knowing that you're in a good place and doing well.
Exactly how I felt too! Everyone commenting seems to be around the same age (late 20's early 30's like me) and it does feel like you're seeing someone get out from under a weight they were carrying for so long.
Hi iJustine! How's the crypto grift going? Did you ever launch your weird pig NFT scam? Edit: oh also your recent post about "Taylor Swift might bring her tickets back as NFTs and you might not even notice it!" isn't the good thing you think it is. That's just tech people sneaking in scams that people don't want. The fact that you have to trick people into doing NFTs is awful, and that you think that is a good thing is also bad
Apologies for bringing this up on your coming out video, by the way, Charlie. You don't deserve this. But much like how people hit back against TH-cam in the replies to their comment about their garbage moderation and attitude towards minorities, I feel keeping a light on the grift of NFTs is necessary.
@@Spikey100000 they don't but Justine does. Much like how they don't deserve the replies to TH-cam's comment but TH-cam does. I feel bad for Charlie, but I don't want Justine's grift to be normalised and/or forgotten.
my absolute favorite part of becoming an adult is getting to see people i grew up watching online, blossom into themselves. I adored your videos as a teen and in my twenties. I feel so proud now in my thirties to watch this video and see how happy you are now to come out to us.
What a pleasant surprise. ❤ I watched you back in middle school when you were a man and I was a woman. Now you’re a woman and I’m a man. How the tables have turned! It’s relieving to see I had great taste in TH-cam creators back then. It’s nice to see you again. Peace and love your way as always.
Hey, I have a question regarding how you phrased this, I'm asking out of curiosity and with the will to learn, I absolutely understand if you don't feel like answering. I have often seen people correct others for saying things like "You were a man and now you're a woman", the reason being that "a trans woman was always a woman" and that terms like "male-presenting" would be better. now I saw both of you (being trans yourselves) phrase it in the way that I was told is not okay, so I'm wondering if it's a matter of preference or if it's something that a minority is very vocal about but lots of you don't actually care that much/actually think the phrase is fine? I hope that made sense.
@@airotkiv I'm not trans, but as someone who came out as gay late in life... Both things can be true at the same time: I was always gay in the sense that my attraction was always there but repressed. But I was straight but now gay in the sense that lots of things changed in my identity, my friendships, my relationships, etc... So I use both expressions depending on the context. For example, if someone tells me that I changed from being straight to gay with the implication that I chose to be gay now for clout or because I want attention, then that is rude to me, and I would point out that I was always gay... It is a tricky topic so there are a lot of gray areas around this... Hope this helps :)
@@mooruka as a trans woman I definitely don’t agree. Almost all trans women and men I know say to NEVER refer to them as their past gender or name. I have no idea who the thread OG is okay with terminology like that. Not cool to me at all.
@@airotkiv not OP, but i am trans and know a lot of other trans people, so here's my take on it. i think it's totally fine for a trans person to say "i used to be a woman and now im a man" as it's their life, their decision. refering to other people that way is a bit iffy. I'd say always ask the person's preference before, and then go along with it. if you don't have the ability to ask (ex. you probably won't get a youtuber with millions of subs to answer), I'd say stay on the safe side and use terms like you mentioned or AFAB/AMAB (assigned female/male at birth). I'm not sure if lots of people care about it or not, but from my own experience I'd say 40% don't care and 60% do care (I'm usually in the 40%). hope this helps answer your question and i apologize for the long answer lol always love when people want to learn more :)
Watching this is like getting a hug from an old friend. I watched Charlie in middle school, and I’m 26 now. In some ways it’s the same person, but a better, happier version.
Didn't have Charlie returns to TH-cam on my 2023 bingo card, but oml this makes me so happy! Glad you're in a space to be your authentic self and honored that you chose to share that with us as well 💗
Same! My high school was marked by all the old early vlogging-in-bedroom folks and people like Hank and John and WheezyWaiter. It sure is a funny thing. Back then I was like "These feelings are shameful, maybe if I wait long enough they'll go away," but of course, that's not how it works. I'm about eight months into my journey and feeling extremely relieved and excited by normal day-to-day stuff I didn't used to care about. And I started dating a really cute girl I met at a concert we were both playing! So the last few minutes of this video rang true for me ☺️
I'm 29. You're the first person I consistently watched on youtube back in the day. In fact you did a video years ago on 'Consent' and I still reference the points you made in it to this day. You look so happy and that makes me and my inner teen happy.
@j mats I can't even remember, I just remember the points she made at the time. It was the first time I had seen a male presenting person speak out about consent. It was after the allegations came out about Alex Day, who was friends with Charlie before it all went down.
Sweet Charlie! It is going to be so lovely to "meet" you here on youtube, I can't wait for your reintroduction into this space and I know you're going to crush it. Proud of you and so happy to know you!
As a teenager that grew up watching your videos and am now a 27 year old man it's so nice to see that you're still doing you and not just being yourself but embracing yourself. Keen to see more Charlie!
My husband and I always said that if we ever have a child we’d call them Charlie. It works regardless of their gender, so I find it really wonderful that you still go by Charlie. It is a very special name 🌹🥰
As someone who grew up with your videos, please do not feel pressured to have anything on your channel that doesn’t make you comfortable. being fans of yours does not automatically entitle us to that whatsoever, sentimental value or not, it’s not who you are anymore. love you and can’t wait to see what’s next ❤❤❤
You were mine, and I’m sure millions of others, first experience of TH-cam - and the comfort and ease that’s radiating from you in this video is so palpably different, I love it ❤ excited to see what’s next!
You were one of my comfort youtubers as a young queer teen, and seeing your smile and joy and that you're back and living your truth brings me so much joy.
The "teen boy who watches Charlieissocoollike -> adult woman" pipeline is real. I fell into it, several of my friends did, and now even Charlie did. Jokes aside, I'm very very happy for you!! 💜💜
Something something parasocial relationships something something, but this feels like an old friend you haven’t seen in forever and catching up and hearing that they’re doing well. I have such a smile on my face. Congratulations and welcome back. Looking forward to whatever you decide to do next in this space
Coming from you, Evan, that's one of the greatest compliments possible! Your lighting, your background decoration and the... crispness of your videos are admirable!
There is one video by you that I watched back when it was posted many years ago, where you talked about multiple universe theory. About how it gave you comfort to know there was a version out there of you that was out there doing something that this universe’s version of you couldn’t. It really inspired me and I’ve always thought back to it when I was struggling on my own path in life. I just wanted to say thank you for posting that video back then, it’s always stayed with me.
Six years ago, I realized I wanted to be a masculine woman, cut my hair short, stopped shaving, and started wearing men’s clothes. They’re not identical experiences, but hearing you speak about finally feeling present in your own life felt like listening to my younger self. That feeling doesn’t go away, and I’m so happy you get to share it.
As a casual viewer from way back in the day, this video really took me by surprise, but I'm so incredibly happy for you! You seem happy and healthy and I'm glad you're able to embrace your identity and are coming back to "the internet". With how hateful people can be on here, I know this must've been a scary step to take, but I'm happy to see you're back and can't wait to see where your channel will go in the future. I might also check in over on Twitch some time. Congratulations on your transition and welcome back! :)
I must say, your “Fun Science” videos were the things that got me hooked on science, and here, 5-10 years later I am a ✨woman in stem ✨ and for that, I can never thank you enough! It saddens me they weren’t more popular, but know that your presence positively influenced my life path :)
Sobbing like a baby because I missed your lovely face so much, Charlie!! I was such a fan of you when I was a teen and seeing your name pop up on my page made me explode with joy. I'm so happy you're back and are able to control and set your boundaries on your journey. Can't wait to see what the future holds
So this is absolutely insane! I literally out of the blue found my old music folders and came back across my old collection of Chameleon Circuit songs. Thought to myself “I wonder what Charliissocoolike is up to these days,” and HERE YOU ARE! So excited to have you back around. Also, congrats on your transition! You be you!
Ooof watching this video was like having a bad day at work and you come home to a package from your mother, you open it up n it's your childhood blanket. U wrap up in the blanket, sit on the couch and watch that new TV show you are excited about. It's a good mix of the old with something new ❤️ I'm gonna cry happy tears omg
Omg! Ive used to watch you when i was 13-15, i am 25 now! I decided to search you and im so glad i did!! So first, thank you for being a big part of my teenage years (no cause really i was obsessed with the doctor who song and duet with myself became a soundtrack in my head, as well as bread…). You were my fave and im so glad to see you again! Always felt a queer vibe from you, i must say, happy to see you are doing so well
It made me a little bit teary seeing what feels like an old friend coming back again, seeing how you've changed and grown as a person and that you're so happy in yourself. I wish i could give you a hug! :') I hope you post videos that you actually enjoying doing on here, maybe you could talk about the process of building a video game? Much love
You know what makes me genuinely happy? That you still seem like the down to earth, eloquent, witty and full of giggles individual that I remember from many years back. You can tell that you're not stressing about keeping up appearances anymore. I sat with a big smile on my face the entire video just hearing you talk about how you were doing better, were happier and was content with who you are now and your life in general. I always enjoyed your content for your personality and mind, no matter what you created. So I'm glad to hear you're back on your own terms. I'm happy for you. Looking forward to whatever you're gonna cook up for us. Welcome back, Charlie. ♥
You were the first TH-camr I ever got into. Now 10 years later we’re both trans women and it brings me so much comfort to see one of my favorite internet people going through the same thing and thriving. So so so proud and happy for you and thank you for sharing your story!!
Welcome back! Glad you're doing well! Glad you're living your life. You look more content than I've ever seen. :) Also, yes, Everything Everywhere All At Once was the best film of 2022.
When I was 16, I had just come out as trans and I was obsessed with your videos because it gave me an escape from the bullying and transphobia I was experiencing at the time. It's an unexpected happy surprise to find that you were trans too the whole time and just didn't know it yet. So excited to see what is coming next from the creative mind of Charlie.
It’s so amazing to see you Charlie finally as yourself and at the same time feeling you haven’t changed a bit. There’s this beautiful essence about you that transcends gender.
I watched your videos growing up and when I saw this video recommended to me, I was like "why does 'charlieissocoollike' sound so familiar??" then realized that I used to watch your videos. This is genuinely the most wholesome video I've seen in a while. It's great that you're able to be your true self and I'm excited for you. Thanks for all the laughs over the years and I look forward to what you do in the future.
You were one of the TH-camrs i always wondered what happened to them but figured you had moved onto to greener pastures. I am so glad you are living your life now. You look and sound so confident and happy. Congrats truly.
i can’t describe how incredibly excited i felt when i saw this video in my subscriptions. i LOVED your channel when i was in high school. as a trans adult myself who is pursuing transition “later” than what is usually expected, this is just fantastic to see. i’m so happy for you and am looking forward to the future of this channel!
I had almost completely forgotten about your videos and when this video popped up it all came flooding back! I’m very glad to see you’re happy and completely yourself.
You were so much of a comfort in the “early youtube” days and it is INCREDIBLE to watch you evolve into whatever makes you feel like your truest self. Sending huge amounts of love and support your way.❤️
ngl im genuinely lowkey upset that I can’t rewatch your old vids because I still did during your break from time to time BUT i am so happy for you and taking the right steps for your own growth, inner peace, mental health etc. ❤
I'm crying surprisingly hard right now, this parasocial relationship is kicking me in the ass. I'm just really happy that you're happy, when I moved to the UK your videos meant a lot to lonely teenage me. I'm so glad you get to live the life you want to live and be the person you want to be.
I literally got goosebumps when I saw the thumbnail. I grew up watching you and loved you so much - the moment I saw this thumbnail I knew you were living your most authentic self. Oh my god Charlie I’m a stranger but I’m so proud of you and HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are so beautiful!!!! I’m so excited to continue following your journey once again. ❤❤❤❤
I grew up watching your videos and am extremely happy to have this wonderful reintroduction! You’re honestly radiating such authenticity and confidence, I couldn’t be happier for you Charlie! I can’t wait for you to also be a part of my adulthood 🫶
This makes me feel so happy :') I started watching you as a teen, and your charming awkwardness/bashfulness mixed with a wonderful sense of humor and obvious creativity really spoke to awkward then-me. Watching this video as a 30 year old, it's so clear how much more self-assured you are while maintaining that humor and creativity and all the best parts of you. Now-me is thrilled for you. Cheers to coming into our own!
Hi Charlie ❤ You'll always be up there among the greats of the Golden Era of TH-cam alongside Niga Higa and Vlogbrothers - sad to hear it was a difficult period for you, but I hope you can take some comfort knowing you bought so much love and joy to so many people here! We're all so happy for you that you've changed into a more authentic version of your true self. It's cool to see so many people in this chat have been growing alongside you! Keep being awesome! It continues to be a joy to follow you and see other role models coming out🎉
Charlie, you were the first vlogger I ever watched on TH-cam. Your videos brought me and my friends so much joy, and they brought me to vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria, where I still participate to this day. One of your more serious videos was the catalyst for me getting out of an abusive relationship as an older teen. You made a huge impact on my tiny life. Thank you for all of that. But most of all, welcome back, and thank you for being open to share your goodness with the world again - in a way that makes you happy. I am glad you are finding yourself and I wish you the brightest of days ahead of you.
Oh my word! So excited! Been following you for ages, about 14 years now. Some of your songs are still on my regular rotation. Couldn't be happier for you to be embracing who you were always meant to be! 💜💜💜 you're a beautiful human inside and out.
Oh… Charlie 🥹 I remember watching you in my teens and I’m now in my 30’s. I grew up watching your videos and this has made me a bit misty-eyed. I’m so happy and pleased that you’re living true to yourself! Thank you for sharing and I wish you every bit of happiness and peace.
Dear Charlie, Your videos were my escape years ago in high school when my dad was terminally ill. You posted this video on the exact anniversary of his passing. Knowing that you’re doing so well on a day that’s usually hard for me brought me so much joy. Thank you and I wish you the world. Excited you’re back 🧡
im literally crying i missed you so much. i used to remember specific videos (particularly when you read the first twilight book- my favorite video!) and laugh. you were one of my favorite people on the internet. and then today i found out not only are you back, but you're you! you're happy and out and confident and Im a mess of tears. i was watching the dnp video playing lethal company and wondering why this charlie person was so familiar and i decided to look you up because you're voice was so soothing-- imagine my surprise when i saw your handle! im so happy for you!! ahhh the nostalgia and feels!!
I almost started crying when I saw the thumbnail and *realized*. I loved your videos when I thought I was a teenage girl and now you resurface like this when I'm a trans adult it's just so beautiful. I'm incredibly proud of you for finding yourself, if it means anything
As a trans adult who grew up with your channel, it…. It kinda makes sense why I gravitated to you now. Even with both of us being deeply in the closet, trans people find eachother in the weirdest ways. I’m super excited to see more of your work, Charlie, and I’m so glad that you’re finding happiness!
Absolutely same here. As a trans adult, i feel the same about gravitating towards certain people on TH-cam to later find out oh, we have more in common than we thought!
i found out you came out bc someone on twitter said you'd be in an upcoming danandphilgames video & i'm literally gonna cry omfg 😭🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 so so proud of you, i'm also trans and have been watching since i was 13..? i'm 22 now tho lol
I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE!! I just watched dan and phils video and was like "damn this girl seems so cool who is she" and looked in the description and was like HOLY SHIT IS THAT CHARLIEISSOCOOLLIKE?? it literally blew my mind I was so excited to see a TH-camr I've been watching since middle school be like me!!
@@halfaworldaway hell yeah!! always love when someone recognizes my pfp 🫶🫶 hoping to see microwave sometime next year since i now live decently close to ATL 💞
You coming out as trans and returning to youtube made me realise that we are all grown up now. All those dreams that we all had at 16, the life we were living. It all changed.
I am sad that the old videos are gone (possibly for now), BUT I understand why you took them away. You were my first step into the world of TH-cam, so your channel was really special to me. That respect and love for you and your content will always be here, so I'll just patiently wait for your decision. I hope you'll have them available in some way for my own personal selfishness, but if you don't, then it will be respected!
Charlie, we did theatre group together. I don’t have the words to express how proud I am of you, how glad I am that you’re happy in your transition, and I just wanted to reach out to say hi, and congratulations. Sending so much love ❤
Goddamn it Charlie I love you so much and am so happy for you. I am just a stranger to you but I grew up with you by my side. I'm about your age and I'm a trans man (he/they). I'm one year into accepting and being myself. Right now I feel like I'm giving my teenage self (watching videos of you) a high five and saying "hey you're not alone, see?" We're all here together. Big hugs! Do what brings you joy no matter what. I'm excited to see you more :) Love the vids
just like some comments are saying, watching this video felt like bumping into a childhood friend who you hadn't seen in forever, and they're doing super well and are just as kind and wonderful as you remembered them, and they leave you with a huge smile on your face and with this swell of fondness and gratitude for having met them when you did. i am so glad i found your videos when i did, but i am so much glader that you are doing well, that you are finding your place in the world now, and that we get to glimpse at that once more. thank you for returning and sharing, i look forward to whatever content you decide to share with us!
Just based on this video, I get this overwhelming and positive energy from you, I can tell how much you’ve grown, and I am so glad you’re feeling so much happier and.
Like many here I've literally grown up with you, you were the first 'internet personality' I ever followed. I'm from the "How to get featured on TH-cam" days. Looking forward to getting reintroduced, and happy that you're posting this video. Edit: just watched your video (you could comment before it was launched). I totally 100% understand why you privated those old videos. The unlisted idea may nice, because I actually don't think I would ever want to watch them, but not gonna lie, since I can't, there is a part of me that wants to. But if they were there somewhere, I wouldn't. I don't know if that makes sense haha But as you said at the end of the day, it's your boundaries to protect, and not anyones call but yours. And as I've grown up I've learnt they can be very freeing.
ive watched you since i was a young teen girl. now im a grown adult man. i’m so happy to see you on my screen again. im glad you’re in a better place and you’re glowing! the way your happiness outlines your natural beauty has me over the moon. bless you, charlie. you’ve always been a cool person with a special spot in my heart. lots of love from your friendly neighborhood trans siblings.
somehow i never knew that this video was posted but as someone who was obsessed with your old videos as a kid i LOVE seeing you so happy. there's a light in you that i've never seen before and it's so beautiful. so beyond happy for you 🤍
I am SO happy for you. I watched your videos with my daughter when she was in middle school...and we all thought she was a boy. Now she's 18, finding her authentic self, getting ready to get a legal name change, and absolutely thrilled to see you doing so well. ❤
In a song about love you sung "And I know that there’s a woman waiting, but she’s not a woman yet" And 14 yr old me was like I'll take it as a sign as myself for my own fantasy. It now takes a new meaning ☺️ quite sweet. Wish you happiness and continues growth
I don’t know how to explain it, but this felt very healing. I adored your content growing up, and I also came out (as genderqueer) in the last few years. I’m genuinely so happy for you and your growth. 🖤
Stumbled across this by accident today and had a good happy sob to see you back and happy Charlie. ❤ You meant a lot to me and a lot of my friends as a kid, you got me into Doctor Who, and made me feel more comfortable with being a nerd. So thank you for a whole lot of things!
The way my brain IMMEDIATELY added the Stephen Fry voice at the end! :'D It REALLY is an almost imponderable joy to see you back and watch you be so happy - you did not need to answer that last question for us to see it. I may be crying a little. I'm turning 31 in 2 months and I've just found my footing again after 7 harrowing years and it is so wonderful to see one of the creators I watched to come out of the tail end of their own struggle.
Can I just say... Well done for still holding out for the light again 🌈 I'm in a very similar boat (32, & 8yrs on my end - but like yourself these last 6mths have gratefully managed to cut through the weeds) 🌻 - I don't think I've ever seen a comment I so closely resemble... Just wanted to say, (this is also what I've been trying to tell myself as well), we're now different people than we were prior to that period... & thats ok... Its not good, or bad, it just is ❤ Its ok to say let go & start completely fresh, it doesn't mean failure, it just means the opportunity to create 🌻 & As as Charlie mentioned, there's real joy in that.... As hard as it sometimes feels, try not to feel shame, but instead revel in your strength for making it through the other side.... Now's where life can start again... We did it ❤🌈🌻☀️ I know you don't know me from a bar of soap, but just know I really feel you... & I hope you're proud of yourself... Sending love from Australia - Em.
As a trans person (and Canadian!) who was out when I started following you over a decade ago, I am so happy to see you back. I always found you such an articulate and charismatic person to watch, I am very excited at the prospect of you making content again. In whatever form that may be. So much love. PS you look effing amazing.
I am just smiling throughout this video: I can’t believe charlie is back and is her true self and i am here for it and is creating boundaries and this is all like a mix of new and nostalgia omg
As much as younger me will miss Duet with Myself, I really hope nobody tries to pressure you in to putting the videos back up. I was smiling through this whole thing, It's really good to see a life update where you seem so happy ❤

Hi TH-cam!
I’m very glad you’re now living your life and happy. I knew for years that you were somehow numb and disengaged and couldn’t understand why. Now we know and you have found the door to a happier path. Love Dad
@@miro6017 He probably was also speaking from lived experiences with Charlie. All he's doing is publicly supporting his kid... just saying.
having a parent in your corner like this is life changing. kudos to you for being a good, supportive parent, how it should be!
OMG this is so sweet
Awww your a good daddy to your offspring and being very supportive 😊👍
I used to watch your offspring videos loads and it's different but I'm ok person I got learning disabilities I'm autistic and got Asperger's syndrome but people treat me like I haven't got it when I have and see past that yep I support autism awareness and also i like both of your offspring but as long she's happy and comfortable that's all that matters 😊👍
Hello Charlie! I'm so incredibly excited to see you back!! I was just watching Dan and Phil's gaming-mas video "Lethal Company" and the whole time I was like "I love Dan and Phil and PJ but I've never seen Charlie she seems really cool" so I decided to look in the description and found that YOU ARE YOU! I genuinely had no idea you were back to TH-cam or had transitioned so I would've never put two and two together without looking into the description. I watched you A LOT when I was younger and you made me very happy, so it is incredibly lovely to see you back and as yourself this time! As someone who is gender fluid who also found themselves during the pandemic, it is so validating seeing other people (especially people who I look up and have been looking up to since I was younger) having a similar experience. Like I genuinely screamed of joy finding out that you're also trans, representation in any form is the most wonderful feeling. You are doing so much for not only the TH-cam community but the trans community as well and I hope you know how much your existence means to other trans people who enjoy your content. Much love and hugs to you! Can't wait to keep watching your videos
What a lovely comment! I'm here because of Dan and Phil too :D
@NinskuuB thank you!!! I'm so so glad I watched that new video :)
I love you with all my heart. I am proud of you. I am so impressed with you. I am grateful you are here to share your wonderful self in any way you wish to share it. Love, Buck
What the Buck and Charlie in one video. Damn, I miss my youtube-youth 😢 ❤
This feels like meeting up with an old childhood friend where we haven’t spoken for in years! We can easily pick up where we last left off and catch up with our life updates 🥰❤
Yes!!!
Exactly how I felt! I read the name of the title and was like "Wait, Charlie? CHARLIE!??!? CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!"
@@Cresitan258 same. Like bumping into her on the street. Like oh, you’ve changed quite a bit, how cool! Tell me all about it!
This!
Just thinking I dyed my hair red cause of you, learned to play ukulele because of your music, my nickname everywhere ends with "SoCoolLike" because of your influence in my life since I was 15, I'm 30 now.
Seeing this video was like getting back to an old friend and understanding how they are and how they grew. I'm really happy for you Charlie and I just had the most imponderable joy to "meet" you again.
time to follow the gender change my bro
Oh my gosh I haven’t watched you since school (maybe 15 years ago?????) and just randomly decided to look up Charlieissocoollike to see how you are going. I’m so glad you’re happy!
SAME
SAME
exact same thing just happened to me. i am so happy for her!!!
Same!

Hi, PJ! Seeing you comment on a Charlieissocoollike video brings me back to 2010ish. Love to see it, and I feel old
peej!
Nostalgia overload
@@Floytie same here. Makes me heart warm.
"You've had the almost imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollie, which makes you, like, cool!" 🌈
The comment I was looking for. The only thing that made me a little sad was not hearing that ending :)
Reading this again makes me so happy
This feels like when you reconnect with an old friend and you both see how much you’ve grown, and it’s so happy and so sad at the same time, and I cried and I am emotional and it’s so nice to meet you again Charlie ♥️
"You've just had the most imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike, which makes you, like, cool"
BEST OUTTRO EVER!
"I got bangs!" cracked me up lol
I'm so excited for you Charlie, welcome back to TH-cam! ❤️
This feels like being reunited with an old friend ❤
Oh 100% 💕
This is exactly how it felt!
Came here to say this ❤ And so happy to see my old friend is doing well 😊
It really does 😭
I was close to crying by the end of the video, but your comment made me start bawling properly. That is exactly what it felt like.
For those of us that grew up alongside you it's beautiful to see, you always cheered up my angsty teenage days. Now you're giving light and a smile to a slightly dodgy mid twenties. Carry on glowing 💕
I cant agree with this statement enough!
Charlie you were always the youtuber I enjoyed the most as a teen, I'm now 31, and I feel like I've had a nice chat over a cup of tea with an old friend and am now filled with joy that they are happy and content and living the life they were always meant to. Thank you for this video.
Great way to put it! Totally agree ❤
I couldn't agree with this more.
Accurate.
100% agree. I'm glad to hear you found yourself Charlie :) I remember thinking that later into your videos when you were younger that it seemed like you were putting a lot of pressure on yourself and seemed quite anxious at times. You've clearly done a lot of work to become this lovely shiny happy and fulfilled version of yourself. Both in a mental health way and a gender identity way and neither one is easy. You were honestly the only youtuber I ever checked to see if you had updated (and I loved fun science, they were my fave) so after all this time it really is like having a happy update from an old friend. It's nice to be able to meet the beautiful woman that you always were on the inside now on the outside :)
For sure!
This video feels like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while.
Despite never actually meeting you, I feel so much joy knowing that you're in a good place and doing well.
This is exactly how I felt.
So happy for you, Charlie. Thanks for sharing your story so generously. 😍
So well put! I feel the same way 😊
Yes I felt that too, it's so nice seeing people discover themselves and being proud of it
Exactly how I felt too! Everyone commenting seems to be around the same age (late 20's early 30's like me) and it does feel like you're seeing someone get out from under a weight they were carrying for so long.
so happy to see you again 🥰
Hi iJustine! How's the crypto grift going? Did you ever launch your weird pig NFT scam?
Edit: oh also your recent post about "Taylor Swift might bring her tickets back as NFTs and you might not even notice it!" isn't the good thing you think it is. That's just tech people sneaking in scams that people don't want. The fact that you have to trick people into doing NFTs is awful, and that you think that is a good thing is also bad
Apologies for bringing this up on your coming out video, by the way, Charlie. You don't deserve this. But much like how people hit back against TH-cam in the replies to their comment about their garbage moderation and attitude towards minorities, I feel keeping a light on the grift of NFTs is necessary.
@@DewMan001 you said it yourself. They don’t deserve this. So don’t do it.
@@Spikey100000 they don't but Justine does. Much like how they don't deserve the replies to TH-cam's comment but TH-cam does. I feel bad for Charlie, but I don't want Justine's grift to be normalised and/or forgotten.
@@Leonfeedb your comment is not okay, never has been okay, and I’m sorry you’ve been brainwashed into thinking it is because of society. Off you jog👋
my absolute favorite part of becoming an adult is getting to see people i grew up watching online, blossom into themselves. I adored your videos as a teen and in my twenties. I feel so proud now in my thirties to watch this video and see how happy you are now to come out to us.
This
Same here 😄
This! Exactly this! So joyful to watch Charlie be her beautiful self.
This!
Same ❤
What a pleasant surprise. ❤ I watched you back in middle school when you were a man and I was a woman. Now you’re a woman and I’m a man. How the tables have turned! It’s relieving to see I had great taste in TH-cam creators back then. It’s nice to see you again. Peace and love your way as always.
Hey, I have a question regarding how you phrased this, I'm asking out of curiosity and with the will to learn, I absolutely understand if you don't feel like answering. I have often seen people correct others for saying things like "You were a man and now you're a woman", the reason being that "a trans woman was always a woman" and that terms like "male-presenting" would be better. now I saw both of you (being trans yourselves) phrase it in the way that I was told is not okay, so I'm wondering if it's a matter of preference or if it's something that a minority is very vocal about but lots of you don't actually care that much/actually think the phrase is fine? I hope that made sense.
@@airotkiv I'm not trans, but as someone who came out as gay late in life... Both things can be true at the same time: I was always gay in the sense that my attraction was always there but repressed. But I was straight but now gay in the sense that lots of things changed in my identity, my friendships, my relationships, etc... So I use both expressions depending on the context. For example, if someone tells me that I changed from being straight to gay with the implication that I chose to be gay now for clout or because I want attention, then that is rude to me, and I would point out that I was always gay... It is a tricky topic so there are a lot of gray areas around this... Hope this helps :)
Hey, same! Congrats mate!
@@mooruka as a trans woman I definitely don’t agree. Almost all trans women and men I know say to NEVER refer to them as their past gender or name. I have no idea who the thread OG is okay with terminology like that. Not cool to me at all.
@@airotkiv not OP, but i am trans and know a lot of other trans people, so here's my take on it. i think it's totally fine for a trans person to say "i used to be a woman and now im a man" as it's their life, their decision. refering to other people that way is a bit iffy. I'd say always ask the person's preference before, and then go along with it. if you don't have the ability to ask (ex. you probably won't get a youtuber with millions of subs to answer), I'd say stay on the safe side and use terms like you mentioned or AFAB/AMAB (assigned female/male at birth). I'm not sure if lots of people care about it or not, but from my own experience I'd say 40% don't care and 60% do care (I'm usually in the 40%). hope this helps answer your question and i apologize for the long answer lol
always love when people want to learn more :)
Watching this is like getting a hug from an old friend. I watched Charlie in middle school, and I’m 26 now. In some ways it’s the same person, but a better, happier version.
I’m 28 and I used to watch Charlie when I was younger as well 🥺 you described it very well “hug from an old friend”.
Same! I’m so happy to see her here again, and even better to see her happy!😊
Same for me, I started watching charlie about 12 years ago and it feels so nice and comforting to see her again
Sending internet hugs! I’m 24 now but I remember the JOY I got from watching Charlie’s videos ❤️ Even now with the bangs, the joy is still there
I’m in my twenties too. And I’m so proud of and happy for charlie. Look at her!
Didn't have Charlie returns to TH-cam on my 2023 bingo card, but oml this makes me so happy! Glad you're in a space to be your authentic self and honored that you chose to share that with us as well 💗
grew up with your videos, as a now trans adult this has made my night :) can't wait to see what's in store for the future of this channel!
Omg actually same!! You were my absolute favorite creator when I was younger
In the streamed a limited access videos a TH-cam old 2007-2020
Omg same 😃
SAME ! I just screamed :))) heheh cant wait to watch !
Same!
My high school was marked by all the old early vlogging-in-bedroom folks and people like Hank and John and WheezyWaiter.
It sure is a funny thing. Back then I was like "These feelings are shameful, maybe if I wait long enough they'll go away," but of course, that's not how it works. I'm about eight months into my journey and feeling extremely relieved and excited by normal day-to-day stuff I didn't used to care about. And I started dating a really cute girl I met at a concert we were both playing!
So the last few minutes of this video rang true for me ☺️
I'm 29. You're the first person I consistently watched on youtube back in the day. In fact you did a video years ago on 'Consent' and I still reference the points you made in it to this day. You look so happy and that makes me and my inner teen happy.
oh was that the one with tea?
@j mats I can't even remember, I just remember the points she made at the time. It was the first time I had seen a male presenting person speak out about consent. It was after the allegations came out about Alex Day, who was friends with Charlie before it all went down.
It was! Absolutely fantastic anagoly for consent
Sweet Charlie! It is going to be so lovely to "meet" you here on youtube, I can't wait for your reintroduction into this space and I know you're going to crush it. Proud of you and so happy to know you!
As a teenager that grew up watching your videos and am now a 27 year old man it's so nice to see that you're still doing you and not just being yourself but embracing yourself. Keen to see more Charlie!
My husband and I always said that if we ever have a child we’d call them Charlie. It works regardless of their gender, so I find it really wonderful that you still go by Charlie. It is a very special name 🌹🥰
I only have one question: does the almost imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike still make me, like, cool?
Had to like this comment because a) it's a great question and b) I needed to be the 69th like
As someone who grew up with your videos, please do not feel pressured to have anything on your channel that doesn’t make you comfortable. being fans of yours does not automatically entitle us to that whatsoever, sentimental value or not, it’s not who you are anymore. love you and can’t wait to see what’s next ❤❤❤
You were mine, and I’m sure millions of others, first experience of TH-cam - and the comfort and ease that’s radiating from you in this video is so palpably different, I love it ❤ excited to see what’s next!
You were one of my comfort youtubers as a young queer teen, and seeing your smile and joy and that you're back and living your truth brings me so much joy.
The "teen boy who watches Charlieissocoollike -> adult woman" pipeline is real. I fell into it, several of my friends did, and now even Charlie did.
Jokes aside, I'm very very happy for you!! 💜💜
gotta balance out the teen girl who watches charlieissocoollike to adult man pipeline that a I and a bunch of people I know fell into 😌
And the Teen confused egg to Adult confused Enby pipeline 🖤
Something something parasocial relationships something something, but this feels like an old friend you haven’t seen in forever and catching up and hearing that they’re doing well. I have such a smile on my face. Congratulations and welcome back. Looking forward to whatever you decide to do next in this space
Same lol

Just a casual note that the lighting in this video is incredibly cozy and satisfying and I had to look at the waveform luma just to appreciate it more
Coming from you, Evan, that's one of the greatest compliments possible! Your lighting, your background decoration and the... crispness of your videos are admirable!
There is one video by you that I watched back when it was posted many years ago, where you talked about multiple universe theory. About how it gave you comfort to know there was a version out there of you that was out there doing something that this universe’s version of you couldn’t. It really inspired me and I’ve always thought back to it when I was struggling on my own path in life. I just wanted to say thank you for posting that video back then, it’s always stayed with me.
Six years ago, I realized I wanted to be a masculine woman, cut my hair short, stopped shaving, and started wearing men’s clothes. They’re not identical experiences, but hearing you speak about finally feeling present in your own life felt like listening to my younger self. That feeling doesn’t go away, and I’m so happy you get to share it.
As a casual viewer from way back in the day, this video really took me by surprise, but I'm so incredibly happy for you! You seem happy and healthy and I'm glad you're able to embrace your identity and are coming back to "the internet". With how hateful people can be on here, I know this must've been a scary step to take, but I'm happy to see you're back and can't wait to see where your channel will go in the future. I might also check in over on Twitch some time. Congratulations on your transition and welcome back! :)
I must say, your “Fun Science” videos were the things that got me hooked on science, and here, 5-10 years later I am a ✨woman in stem ✨ and for that, I can never thank you enough! It saddens me they weren’t more popular, but know that your presence positively influenced my life path :)
Wow, Charlie is such a TH-cam pro. She's been gone for *years* and yet it's like she never left. Welcome back, girl! I missed you.
lol how ward was it to write that out
@@apetheape9 Are you ok?
@@ellenkarlsson9490 How hard was it to write that out lol
Sobbing like a baby because I missed your lovely face so much, Charlie!! I was such a fan of you when I was a teen and seeing your name pop up on my page made me explode with joy. I'm so happy you're back and are able to control and set your boundaries on your journey. Can't wait to see what the future holds
So this is absolutely insane! I literally out of the blue found my old music folders and came back across my old collection of Chameleon Circuit songs. Thought to myself “I wonder what Charliissocoolike is up to these days,” and HERE YOU ARE! So excited to have you back around. Also, congrats on your transition! You be you!
Ooof watching this video was like having a bad day at work and you come home to a package from your mother, you open it up n it's your childhood blanket. U wrap up in the blanket, sit on the couch and watch that new TV show you are excited about. It's a good mix of the old with something new ❤️ I'm gonna cry happy tears omg
Omg! Ive used to watch you when i was 13-15, i am 25 now! I decided to search you and im so glad i did!! So first, thank you for being a big part of my teenage years (no cause really i was obsessed with the doctor who song and duet with myself became a soundtrack in my head, as well as bread…). You were my fave and im so glad to see you again! Always felt a queer vibe from you, i must say, happy to see you are doing so well
help, this video made me suffer a happiness attack ♥

It made me a little bit teary seeing what feels like an old friend coming back again, seeing how you've changed and grown as a person and that you're so happy in yourself. I wish i could give you a hug! :') I hope you post videos that you actually enjoying doing on here, maybe you could talk about the process of building a video game? Much love
You know what makes me genuinely happy? That you still seem like the down to earth, eloquent, witty and full of giggles individual that I remember from many years back. You can tell that you're not stressing about keeping up appearances anymore. I sat with a big smile on my face the entire video just hearing you talk about how you were doing better, were happier and was content with who you are now and your life in general. I always enjoyed your content for your personality and mind, no matter what you created. So I'm glad to hear you're back on your own terms. I'm happy for you. Looking forward to whatever you're gonna cook up for us. Welcome back, Charlie. ♥
You were the first TH-camr I ever got into. Now 10 years later we’re both trans women and it brings me so much comfort to see one of my favorite internet people going through the same thing and thriving. So so so proud and happy for you and thank you for sharing your story!!
Welcome back! Glad you're doing well! Glad you're living your life. You look more content than I've ever seen. :)
Also, yes, Everything Everywhere All At Once was the best film of 2022.
Omg hi!
good Charlie, very content. wow
Ayyyy wheezy gets it 😎
When I was 16, I had just come out as trans and I was obsessed with your videos because it gave me an escape from the bullying and transphobia I was experiencing at the time. It's an unexpected happy surprise to find that you were trans too the whole time and just didn't know it yet. So excited to see what is coming next from the creative mind of Charlie.
I truly believe Charlie has provided a safe space for a lot of teens, me included.
It’s so amazing to see you Charlie finally as yourself and at the same time feeling you haven’t changed a bit. There’s this beautiful essence about you that transcends gender.
This is spot on ❤
I watched your videos growing up and when I saw this video recommended to me, I was like "why does 'charlieissocoollike' sound so familiar??" then realized that I used to watch your videos. This is genuinely the most wholesome video I've seen in a while. It's great that you're able to be your true self and I'm excited for you. Thanks for all the laughs over the years and I look forward to what you do in the future.
Glad you're doing well Charlie, looking forward to having more of you on TH-cam
also grab dat gem
Most unexpected crossover
Two goats in one! “It’s ok to change” hits hard in this video and I’m looking forward to seeing Charlie back doing whatever makes them happy.
:)
You were one of the TH-camrs i always wondered what happened to them but figured you had moved onto to greener pastures. I am so glad you are living your life now. You look and sound so confident and happy. Congrats truly.
i can’t describe how incredibly excited i felt when i saw this video in my subscriptions. i LOVED your channel when i was in high school. as a trans adult myself who is pursuing transition “later” than what is usually expected, this is just fantastic to see. i’m so happy for you and am looking forward to the future of this channel!
I had almost completely forgotten about your videos and when this video popped up it all came flooding back! I’m very glad to see you’re happy and completely yourself.
You were so much of a comfort in the “early youtube” days and it is INCREDIBLE to watch you evolve into whatever makes you feel like your truest self. Sending huge amounts of love and support your way.❤️
ngl im genuinely lowkey upset that I can’t rewatch your old vids because I still did during your break from time to time BUT i am so happy for you and taking the right steps for your own growth, inner peace, mental health etc. ❤
welcome back!! i didn't know you were in canada :) happy to have you here!
Am Canadian (and also in Toronto) as well, can confirm happy to have you here :D
OMG I grew up watching your videos and also one of the biggest reasons why I got into film/videography!!! SO SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!
I'm crying surprisingly hard right now, this parasocial relationship is kicking me in the ass. I'm just really happy that you're happy, when I moved to the UK your videos meant a lot to lonely teenage me. I'm so glad you get to live the life you want to live and be the person you want to be.
Same! Except I was in my twenties when i moved to the UK
I literally got goosebumps when I saw the thumbnail. I grew up watching you and loved you so much - the moment I saw this thumbnail I knew you were living your most authentic self. Oh my god Charlie I’m a stranger but I’m so proud of you and HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are so beautiful!!!! I’m so excited to continue following your journey once again. ❤❤❤❤
I grew up watching your videos and am extremely happy to have this wonderful reintroduction! You’re honestly radiating such authenticity and confidence, I couldn’t be happier for you Charlie!
I can’t wait for you to also be a part of my adulthood 🫶
I feel this
oh my god Liana you watch her too! She is a true legend and i love her loads
This makes me feel so happy :') I started watching you as a teen, and your charming awkwardness/bashfulness mixed with a wonderful sense of humor and obvious creativity really spoke to awkward then-me. Watching this video as a 30 year old, it's so clear how much more self-assured you are while maintaining that humor and creativity and all the best parts of you. Now-me is thrilled for you. Cheers to coming into our own!
Hi Charlie ❤
You'll always be up there among the greats of the Golden Era of TH-cam alongside Niga Higa and Vlogbrothers - sad to hear it was a difficult period for you, but I hope you can take some comfort knowing you bought so much love and joy to so many people here!
We're all so happy for you that you've changed into a more authentic version of your true self. It's cool to see so many people in this chat have been growing alongside you!
Keep being awesome! It continues to be a joy to follow you and see other role models coming out🎉
Oh gosh this felt like seeing an old friend after a very long time. I'm happy to hear you're doing well
Charlie, you were the first vlogger I ever watched on TH-cam. Your videos brought me and my friends so much joy, and they brought me to vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria, where I still participate to this day. One of your more serious videos was the catalyst for me getting out of an abusive relationship as an older teen. You made a huge impact on my tiny life. Thank you for all of that. But most of all, welcome back, and thank you for being open to share your goodness with the world again - in a way that makes you happy. I am glad you are finding yourself and I wish you the brightest of days ahead of you.
Can we just all mutually agree that, like, Charlie IS SO COOL
Cooler than EVER BEFORE

I liked this comment when you first made it, but I just had to come back and say how much it made me smile, it's so lovely 💜
Wellwellwell, its good to be back here and nice to know we're all trans now. Cheers, gamers.
Oh my word! So excited! Been following you for ages, about 14 years now. Some of your songs are still on my regular rotation. Couldn't be happier for you to be embracing who you were always meant to be! 💜💜💜 you're a beautiful human inside and out.
Oh… Charlie 🥹 I remember watching you in my teens and I’m now in my 30’s. I grew up watching your videos and this has made me a bit misty-eyed. I’m so happy and pleased that you’re living true to yourself! Thank you for sharing and I wish you every bit of happiness and peace.
Dear Charlie,
Your videos were my escape years ago in high school when my dad was terminally ill. You posted this video on the exact anniversary of his passing. Knowing that you’re doing so well on a day that’s usually hard for me brought me so much joy. Thank you and I wish you the world. Excited you’re back 🧡
im literally crying i missed you so much. i used to remember specific videos (particularly when you read the first twilight book- my favorite video!) and laugh. you were one of my favorite people on the internet. and then today i found out not only are you back, but you're you! you're happy and out and confident and Im a mess of tears. i was watching the dnp video playing lethal company and wondering why this charlie person was so familiar and i decided to look you up because you're voice was so soothing-- imagine my surprise when i saw your handle! im so happy for you!! ahhh the nostalgia and feels!!
I almost started crying when I saw the thumbnail and *realized*. I loved your videos when I thought I was a teenage girl and now you resurface like this when I'm a trans adult it's just so beautiful. I'm incredibly proud of you for finding yourself, if it means anything
big same
As a trans adult who grew up with your channel, it…. It kinda makes sense why I gravitated to you now. Even with both of us being deeply in the closet, trans people find eachother in the weirdest ways. I’m super excited to see more of your work, Charlie, and I’m so glad that you’re finding happiness!
Absolutely same here. As a trans adult, i feel the same about gravitating towards certain people on TH-cam to later find out oh, we have more in common than we thought!
I've been watching your videos since 2008 and can't wait to be reintroduced!
Me too! The absolute hype is real!
Same!
i found out you came out bc someone on twitter said you'd be in an upcoming danandphilgames video & i'm literally gonna cry omfg 😭🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 so so proud of you, i'm also trans and have been watching since i was 13..? i'm 22 now tho lol
I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE!! I just watched dan and phils video and was like "damn this girl seems so cool who is she" and looked in the description and was like HOLY SHIT IS THAT CHARLIEISSOCOOLLIKE?? it literally blew my mind I was so excited to see a TH-camr I've been watching since middle school be like me!!
Ayyyy same 13 and 22
Microwave - Stovall! Great album.
@@halfaworldaway hell yeah!! always love when someone recognizes my pfp 🫶🫶 hoping to see microwave sometime next year since i now live decently close to ATL 💞
You coming out as trans and returning to youtube made me realise that we are all grown up now. All those dreams that we all had at 16, the life we were living. It all changed.
That felt like a throat punch 🙃
As Charlie said herself all these many years ago, it’s OK to let go of the dreams your past self had when they no longer fit😊
I am sad that the old videos are gone (possibly for now), BUT I understand why you took them away. You were my first step into the world of TH-cam, so your channel was really special to me. That respect and love for you and your content will always be here, so I'll just patiently wait for your decision. I hope you'll have them available in some way for my own personal selfishness, but if you don't, then it will be respected!
Charlie, we did theatre group together. I don’t have the words to express how proud I am of you, how glad I am that you’re happy in your transition, and I just wanted to reach out to say hi, and congratulations. Sending so much love ❤
I’ve never heard of this person before now but I absolutely love the vibe she gives off
she’s glowing!!! have loved being part of the twitch community and it’s so good to see you back here 💕🏳️⚧️
Goddamn it Charlie I love you so much and am so happy for you. I am just a stranger to you but I grew up with you by my side. I'm about your age and I'm a trans man (he/they). I'm one year into accepting and being myself. Right now I feel like I'm giving my teenage self (watching videos of you) a high five and saying "hey you're not alone, see?" We're all here together. Big hugs!
Do what brings you joy no matter what. I'm excited to see you more :) Love the vids
just like some comments are saying, watching this video felt like bumping into a childhood friend who you hadn't seen in forever, and they're doing super well and are just as kind and wonderful as you remembered them, and they leave you with a huge smile on your face and with this swell of fondness and gratitude for having met them when you did. i am so glad i found your videos when i did, but i am so much glader that you are doing well, that you are finding your place in the world now, and that we get to glimpse at that once more. thank you for returning and sharing, i look forward to whatever content you decide to share with us!
Just based on this video, I get this overwhelming and positive energy from you, I can tell how much you’ve grown, and I am so glad you’re feeling so much happier and.
Like many here I've literally grown up with you, you were the first 'internet personality' I ever followed. I'm from the "How to get featured on TH-cam" days. Looking forward to getting reintroduced, and happy that you're posting this video.
Edit: just watched your video (you could comment before it was launched). I totally 100% understand why you privated those old videos. The unlisted idea may nice, because I actually don't think I would ever want to watch them, but not gonna lie, since I can't, there is a part of me that wants to. But if they were there somewhere, I wouldn't. I don't know if that makes sense haha
But as you said at the end of the day, it's your boundaries to protect, and not anyones call but yours. And as I've grown up I've learnt they can be very freeing.
So happy and excited for you Charlie! Always remember that the communitea has got your back, and do what is fun/exciting/fulfilling for you
❤ you’re always the sweetest Logan 😊
ive watched you since i was a young teen girl. now im a grown adult man. i’m so happy to see you on my screen again. im glad you’re in a better place and you’re glowing! the way your happiness outlines your natural beauty has me over the moon. bless you, charlie. you’ve always been a cool person with a special spot in my heart. lots of love from your friendly neighborhood trans siblings.
Same here! It's beautiful seeing others embrace who they are and really begin to love themselves wholeheartedly🏳️⚧️💖
somehow i never knew that this video was posted but as someone who was obsessed with your old videos as a kid i LOVE seeing you so happy. there's a light in you that i've never seen before and it's so beautiful. so beyond happy for you 🤍
I am SO happy for you. I watched your videos with my daughter when she was in middle school...and we all thought she was a boy. Now she's 18, finding her authentic self, getting ready to get a legal name change, and absolutely thrilled to see you doing so well. ❤
In a song about love you sung "And I know that there’s a woman waiting, but she’s not a woman yet"
And 14 yr old me was like I'll take it as a sign as myself for my own fantasy.
It now takes a new meaning ☺️ quite sweet.
Wish you happiness and continues growth
oh this made me cry :')
I don’t know how to explain it, but this felt very healing. I adored your content growing up, and I also came out (as genderqueer) in the last few years. I’m genuinely so happy for you and your growth. 🖤
Stumbled across this by accident today and had a good happy sob to see you back and happy Charlie. ❤ You meant a lot to me and a lot of my friends as a kid, you got me into Doctor Who, and made me feel more comfortable with being a nerd. So thank you for a whole lot of things!
The way my brain IMMEDIATELY added the Stephen Fry voice at the end! :'D It REALLY is an almost imponderable joy to see you back and watch you be so happy - you did not need to answer that last question for us to see it. I may be crying a little. I'm turning 31 in 2 months and I've just found my footing again after 7 harrowing years and it is so wonderful to see one of the creators I watched to come out of the tail end of their own struggle.
Can I just say... Well done for still holding out for the light again 🌈
I'm in a very similar boat (32, & 8yrs on my end - but like yourself these last 6mths have gratefully managed to cut through the weeds) 🌻 - I don't think I've ever seen a comment I so closely resemble...
Just wanted to say, (this is also what I've been trying to tell myself as well), we're now different people than we were prior to that period... & thats ok... Its not good, or bad, it just is ❤ Its ok to say let go & start completely fresh, it doesn't mean failure, it just means the opportunity to create 🌻 & As as Charlie mentioned, there's real joy in that.... As hard as it sometimes feels, try not to feel shame, but instead revel in your strength for making it through the other side....
Now's where life can start again... We did it ❤🌈🌻☀️
I know you don't know me from a bar of soap, but just know I really feel you... & I hope you're proud of yourself... Sending love from Australia - Em.
As a trans person (and Canadian!) who was out when I started following you over a decade ago, I am so happy to see you back. I always found you such an articulate and charismatic person to watch, I am very excited at the prospect of you making content again. In whatever form that may be. So much love. PS you look effing amazing.
The answer to "How are you?" just blew me away. I am so happy for you, Charlie.
Im seeing this 10 months late but IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND PROUD OF YOU FOR BEING YOU UNAPOLOGETICALLY!!!!!
I am just smiling throughout this video: I can’t believe charlie is back and is her true self and i am here for it and is creating boundaries and this is all like a mix of new and nostalgia omg
As much as younger me will miss Duet with Myself, I really hope nobody tries to pressure you in to putting the videos back up. I was smiling through this whole thing, It's really good to see a life update where you seem so happy ❤
🥹🥹🥹☺️😍 thank you for this video, we missed you!
Why am I JUST NOW seeing this video?! Charlie you are gorgeous! So happy to see you happy after all this time away 💕
