I’m a masters student currently designing research on improving attitudes towards trans and non-binary people. It’s really great to hear these stories, it’s all so varied and valuable to not only my work, but the wider communities. It really makes me reflect on my own experiences with femininity and masculinity. Thanks for sharing!
@@preflightarc4835 that is so beautiful!! and amazing!! keep up the amazing work, and would love to hear more about your journey to help people as well!! 🩷
:0 twins, jkjk i'm honestly thinking about going more in depth about it all, the hardships and the euphoria after coming out, might do that for my hrt anniversary!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Im currently questioning... everything gender and zexuality and its been really confusing, kinda scary, and sometimes feels shameful. Seeing what I do and dont relate to in this video is really nice. Also love the chill vibes of this vid!
@@jhawley031 this was taken directly from a stream, so the chill vibes is what you can expect there :3 and that’s good to hear, yeah coming out to yourself is the biggest hurdle, and it takes time to experiment and figure out yourself, at the end of the day you’ll find out more who you truly are, just never forget that no matter where you end up at the end of self discovery, you are still you 🩷 and that is beautiful :3
I can feel a lot of this as a trans woman myself... But a much older one. I didn't know what being trans was or was even an option for so very long. My entire identity online was even a woman for over a decade and I still couldn't tell...
@@HeyItLoki haha... I'm 46... So a very very long time... I did repress a lot of my teenage memories because they were... bad. My ex-fiance told me several times I'd be a 'much better lesbian than a guy'... I even cried when stories about trans kids getting denied the option to transition started being covered in the media like a decade ago. But I still made it until a few months ago without thinking 'oh I'm a trans woman'. xD
@@therealshadow99 you always were, and i am proud of you for finally discovering yourself!! if it is any solace i hope you can find some safety and comfort in this community, and once again i am so ecstatic that you have finally found yourself after all these years!! you should be proud!
@@HeyItLoki Yeah, I always had been... I just didn't know. Somehow. xD I'm glad I figured things out, though my desire to be myself often contends with how slow change is. It doesn't help that I'm older. There is a lot I could say about that, but probably a YT comment isn't the place for it.
Tnx for the share. I would never actually ask. I love getting other people's perspectives. I know I don't think like other folks much so it can be a challenge sometimes for me to know if I know what they are thinking. You know? lol
I had kind of a strange upbringing. My parents had complicated relationships with religion so I got no religion in my upbringing at all. And somehow I missed the memo about gender being a defining part of who I am. Like....that sounds weird but It's caused me problems. I didn't related to other guys well because I couldn't understand why I was something important or why anyone had to prove it. But apparently in the 80s I didn't do guy well enough for them and couldn't fake it well enough either. Here I am rambling at 1230am. Sheesh. I don't think I need to go on with my entire life story ATM. Thank you though. Much appreciated. Now go drink water and get healthy
@@notelliot70 you don't have to feel like you can talk about this stuff hon, it's always a treat to learn more about people, and it helps to build empathy 💕thank you so much for sharing, it's always a pleasure having you around~! :3
Really only you can say if you are an egg. If someone tells you that you are it could cause issues in your development and self discovery. This is why we don't crack another's egg they must do it themselves.
yeah 100%, the goal is to just be there and support them... sadly for a long time i would ask questions as a cry for help and would just receive a "naaaaah" in return, so i suppose there is some balance needed with that as well. i agree with you though, never force the title of egg on anyone, this actually just goes for anything, like femboy even!
A lot of people would definitely be interested in the extended version of your story ! I think the trans community can always use extra examples and support 💙💜🤍💜💙

a lot of us are pretty dense huh? jkjk, but seriously WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT SOMETIMES

@@therealshadow99 that is fair
As someone that went through some similar times, I'd love to hear your story some more
when my voice comes back i would definitely be down to do a more comprehensive video :3 thank you for supporting nonetheless!!
4:34 I love unintentional puns, and you "didn't get a straight answer". If the answer isn't straight, then you probably aren't either. 😊
@Mapleson unintentional indeed, but tbh i did chuckle to myself at the time! hehe

Part of going through life is knowing yourself
and finally coming to terms with that is some of the most liberating one can feel 💛
thank you for sharing your story
thank you thank you! i'm still shocked at how well this is doing! thank you for being so kind!

I don't know necessarily how i would format or edit a video like that ;-; but i can try~!
