Check out my new short film The Bliss of Becoming! It follows similar subject matter, a trans guy grappling with the childhood he missed out on. and you might recognize some familiar faces ;) th-cam.com/video/HNC4VijUOfE/w-d-xo.html
Why everyone is talking about trans guys? There are trans girls too but no one talks about them
"being trans is lonely as hell" is the loudest and most truthful statement i've ever heard.
Facts
@@visibletrauma69 yes
Definitely
Да правдиво и так грустно.
Really though
It is!
This film drove me to happy tears. as a closeted trans boy I really needed to see this, amazing film!!
❤️❤️
You are valid. You are a good dude. Please be well. You deserve all the happiness in the world.
I’m glad that you liked and it brought joy to your beautiful soul
As a gay man I got your back buddy
And you’re not alone ❤
Me too, I'm out at home but not at school and everywhere else. I think I might come out during summer vacation, because we'll go on a class trip for a week afterwards.
I hope you’re doing good
Hang in there dude
"perhaps you're trying too hard to be cis?" that one hit a little too close to home :')
real
I love that support groups like this exist for youths. I wish I had this as a kid/teen. I wish I could find a support group for older trans coming out late in life.
For anyone closeted Trans boy:
If you celebrate Halloween (some people don’t) then you can ask your parents for a binder for your costume and just wear it when they’re not looking. I’m not trans but I am genderfluid so I’ll try to do this during Halloween season.
Merry whatever time of year you want.
(I like Halloween)
Thanks for the tip, im definetely gonna do it
@@Ryamuu_. no problem, I saw it on someone’s compilation
@@wonderstorm116 now i can't wait for halloween!
I’m gender fluid to! Thanks for the tip :)
Omg that’s a good idea! My mom and me cosplay but she’s y know, anti🏳️🌈. So I could ask her for cosplays to! Tysm for the tip
LOLL the "slayy😝"
honestly, I love this movie. when I saw the amount of views I was so surprised. This deserves more attention
We are all humans and deserve to be loved for who we are.
This started creepy and is moving forward. I am straight. Someday I want to be knowledgeable to help someone. In my youth I was so horrible to Trans and Queer folk. Until I learned that people me were part of the problem. Kids were killing themselves. I want to help but I wish to understand better.
i'm really proud of you for this!
I would appreciate if in the future you didn't use the Q slur to refer to us as a collective and only use it on people you know are comfortable with it. I was bullied and spat on while being called that word and I hate every time I have to see it. (And I'm young I'm 27 so it's not a thing of the past) Just say LGBT+ please and thank you
@@sierrarose1512 Your opinion is valid and Im sorry about what you went through but I will say as a queer person, I am fine with people using queer in this context. But like you said, LGBT+ would be a better suggestion.
@@sierrarose1512queer isn’t a slur?💀
@@my123mon It is, you could say we’re reclaiming it. Plenty older gen lgbt would still see it as a slur, and we gotta respect that. They were the ones fighting for our rights.
therapy? no! wholesome trans short films that give me loads of serotonin and gender euphoria and shows me that I dont have to be a girl just because I was born in the body of one? hell yeah!!!!!
I dont have words, as a trans man in a slightly more phobic country, im so happy people get supportive friends and families. cant wait to open my wings
Wish you the best with your transition man
@@VortexKiller2 thank you so much 🧡🧡
@@cankul7745 you're welcome dude, I'm struggling with my transition still at the moment (5 months on Estradiol gel 1.5mg) and not getting results fast enough, like I feel my body wants more because I get tingly and warm but my body still feels hungry for more, you know?
Anyway, from a trans sister to a trans bother, if life gets you down, remember that we're all valid.
i wish you all the best with everything in your life, man. im also trans, but in a more supportive country. its unfortunate people are transphobic.
@@neriothefurry thank you so much, i wish you best for you too
As a trans guy I feel so relatable with Jules
sameee
You do realize this Jules is a trans woman who was assigned male at birth
@@jonathansmithtv1763 everyone experiences everything differently. It just makes me happy there are so many dope people in these comments.
@@jonathansmithtv1763 ik but I still relate
@@jonathansmithtv1763 just because they may be trans in a different direction doesnt mean that people who are the other way around cant relate
ive talked to many trans women before and we are more alike than most people think. people seem to think that we are so vastly different because one is a man and one is a woman but once you hear the experiences of others who are different you learn that youre not so different :)
(also pretty sure julian is a trans guy bc in the description hes referred to as "he")
As a trans boy who is struggling with his identity right now, this made me feel so strong and feel like I can actually be myself. This helped me a lot, thank you so much.
That was beautiful!! Trans joy is something I can always use more of!
happy pride month to all the - closeted and openly out - trans buddies out there :) you're valid, and you're not alone
not me crying bc i would never has that supportive parents, painn
Thanks for making and sharing this.
Thank you Eli, for bringing light to our community.
„Being trans is lonely as hell.“ I relate this so much.
The “I think you're trying to hard to be cis” line got me
"you fight like a girl" as a person constantly compared to a girl ((transmasc?? i think?)) i felt that
Great work! It really reminds me of my teenage years
THE SLAY LMAO😭
happy pride month everyone
Only 72 subscribers? this actually is really quality, for 72 subscribers, keep making films dude you can really make some good quality stuff!
this is so sweet i love this so much omg
I didn't expect seeing Sans in here wow
I went through this exact same experience. I remember going to a queer youth group when I was younger too, saved my life.
What a sweet short film 🫶🏻💜
UNDERRATED
This video helped me more than you would belive
This is cuteeee
Hey! Just wanted to say that this was super beautiful to see!! I can definitely relate as a young trans man that sometimes feels more non-binary (genderfaun). Wonderful work!!
the eternal trans comment really got me. i'm nonbinary and have a sort of.. mild yet constant gender dysphoria. it used to be a lot worse, but after learning to be patient with the world and the people who didn't accept me, (did that through internal pronoun correction), it got a lot better.
this is an incredible short film. i hope one day i can be a lighthouse like theo
what is the song right at the end called?
great film, really enjoyed it. thanks for sharing🙏

@@elipress-reynolds thank you!!!
Idk why i always end up watching this videos even tho they hurt me so bad..
Cool to see more trans masc artists out there.
That was amazing ❤
You all deserve love, please stay safe out there
i remember about 3 to 4 years ago i was really scared about letting people know that i was trans and i felt like i would be judged by everyone and i was right my family didnt support me it really broke me, they tried to fix me and make me "normal" and took me to church everyday and its been 1 year since i came out and im still being bullied at school for it.i didnt fit in with the guys because they knew me since i was a girl and they never saw me as a real boy and the girls they would do stuff that i wasnt really interested in so i felt the "being trans is a lonely time" because i would (still do) hang out by myself the whole school day the only times i would be hanging with someone would either be the counselors of my schools or my past/current teachers. my family dont talk to me and if they do its too find out if im "normal"again. school was a really hard time for me especially because the guys would say stuff to me like they were gonna fight me and just made fun of me and the girls did the same i cried so much at school i would go into the bathroom stall and stay there till my break was over and just drowned in sadness i wish someone was there for me but it made me stronger, now i dont get as mad because even tho they dont see me as a boy other people do and support me now.
Seven months later, I hope your horizons are bigger. There's a whole planet out here that none of the people you know have ever seen. Come play.
@@intercat4907 yeah im glad to say im way better than i used to be so thank you
Really well done and spoke to a lot of the struggles of being trans.
im a trans dude this made me go yippee!!
loved this whole thing and the ending especially lol
ok unrelated but no one is that quiet when playing smash bros
the Green Day ''Dookie'' shirt makes it even better :))) (I'm a huge GD fan)
So beautiful thank you
We'll accept you the way you are...proceeds to give fashion advice
my new fav short film :) theo is sooooo me! i feel so seen!
Completely off topic but I got so excited seeing the Dead Kennedys, this is a great short film by the way!
This is off topic, BUT SANS IS IN S M A S H ! ? I NEVER KNEW
INBETWEEN I LOVE INBETWEEN ! BIGGEST FAN
HI ESME
This guy plays kirby or mii gunner with the sans skin and still has the audacity to say “you play like a girl”
I feel this so hard.
"Today, I'm with the girlies."
"Mmh. That's probably worse."
And that is why you transition.
Hey! Green day shirt DETECTED!! 0:33
This is so underrated
the way i am trans and my chosen name is Julian- damn (Jules as nickname)
i relate to julian, i made a lot of cis male friends once but i talk to none of them now. I still yearn for more bros, including trans men, but id rather have 3 real friends then 20 including guys that invalidate me and are hard to be around for long.
I know this is unrelated but do you get anything for calling the number like in the Mario movie?(but Fr this was amazing)
1:00 This is the kindest person I've ever seen
I love the “slayyy” 😂
SO I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE-
I love it 😭
This a very different experience.
I am Ash's no.1 fan
im sorry but "SLAYY" caught me off guard
I thought he was eating cereal with a fork
Damn, Charlie Mansons looking rough
Holy crap that guy goes to my school-
*trans guy sobbing*
What is the song in the end guyss ??🥹🥹
Transgenderification Beam by Peach Rings
I am Trans😭
Took me 6 minutes into the movie to realize he isn't transitioning to female lol
Um. Most teenagers feel lonely.
Exactly!
It's a different kind of isolation that's harder to explain
You are around people, you are lonely. Your family, lonely. I only feel a little supported if i am alone. At least i can comfort myself a little
i sympathize with the human condition and the sadness of feeling odd and out of place but taking a shot every single day for the rest of your life doing surgeries to an obsessive level and demanding that the word sees how you feel is not the answer who cares of you like what you like skirts as a man or shaving your hair as a girl these personalities and fashion choices don't make you male or female your biology does i know it may seem unfair i for example would rather have a non human experience but within the reality we live in it's impossible
take the white pill accept yourself within nature as part of nature with it's sweetness and bitterness you will feel far much fulfilment when you look back and say "waw i did it" peer pressure can be strong but you're stronger stay healthy and love and accept yourself you're not born in a wrong body there's nothing wrong about you ❤️
so fucking ignorant
Interesting video but they never really got a party with friends so the film didn't really make sense
Probably no budget for more of a cast. I agree with you, though...I was waiting for the party scene.
I just want to say the group leader girl not all transgender women look like that most do not.
I call bullshit
I don’t think they’re supposed to be a trans woman I think they’re non-binary in some way (I didn’t catch pronouns but ash is a pretty common enby name )
no one said they did
Im sorry but.. ‘ ‘ Papa am I a real boy 🥺 ‘ ‘
No entiendo el es un chico trans o una chica trans.
No entendi.El video
(Porque esta en inglés).:'(
A y se me olvidaba).:Y yo no se ingles.

@@valuzarate6021el es un chico trans (el borne una chica, pero es un chico)

Yeah, just stop cheating in women’s sports.
Trans women aren’t cheating. Estrogen gives them the same disadvantages cis women have.
people just want to live their lives and be left alone, not targeted for being trans
@@L-pk9iv Yeah they “just want to live their lives” by cheating in women’s sports. You know who else just wants to live their lives? Female athletes.
oh are you one of those idiots I've been hearing about?

i agree
fax my brother ! spit your shit indeed !
Ash was scary as fuck
Not anywhere near as poignant as you want it to be.
I want my son to be a boy
Whatever happened to original ideas and memorable characters?
this is obviously a really young person making a low-to-no-budget film so calm down, don't expect it to be Citizen Kane.
@@virg0_lem0nade really young people can still take criticism and write interesting stories. I did it all the time
I thought this was a very lovely idea and, as a trans guy, it really spoke to me because of the distance I feel compared to cis people. It doesn’t have to be perfect for it to hit good :)
@@charliecharmander3213 you can watch literally any other fucking trans film and find it has the exact same type of character and storyline.
@@HeresAbigOne This is gonna sound crazy but maybe this is a really common experience with trans people and therefore there’s a lot of people wanting to get how they feel about it out there. People are allowed to create what they want, if you don’t like it maybe create the thing you feel like is missingg from it?
