I’ve been living “full time” as female for over 6 years. I started my public transition about two years before I was officially on HRT. It wasn’t easy but it was made easier because I lived in and area where LGBT where mostly accepted. I still have anxiety about being in public and “passing” as female, partially because I spent most of my life living as male. I also still hesitate to use public bathrooms unless I’m in a safe place. Good luck to all my transgender sisters and brothers out there The road isn’t easy, but it’s much easier when we support each other. Nothing in life worth doing is easy.
Sexi Suzie - i am a woman now have woman mind. I first try wearing my sister panty and bta when i was 18 yrs at home only. My sister saw me wearing her panty and bra She scolded me and my.mom asked her to allow me to wear. My mom later bought for me 3 pairs of bras anf panties to wear. Since then i wear bras and panties when i go oit with her. She told her friends i am her daughter. That encouraged me to wear female clothing, makeup, use perfume bought by my mom. She loved me and wanted me to be happy as a female.Its not easy to be a woman unless.you have make up your mind to trans from man to female take estrogen and female hormone.
The journey to become a female is tough but worth the sacrifice and overcoming obstacles esp. going out meeting people when I am dressed as female. I am now convenient going out in female dress.and.makeup.-Sexi Suzie Amina.
I'm a high school teacher and I'm thankful for those videos. Teenagers are trying to find out who they are and from time to time you come across one who is thinking about transitionning and I'm glad I can understand it better through the people who are sharing their experience through youtube so kudos to you guys !
Children (under 18-ish) should not be "transitioning." They don't know so much more than then they do-know-about everything, They are way too young to be making life-altering decisions.
i know you posted this like 3 years ago but i just wanted to say that i wish there had been more very cool and understanding teachers like you when i went through school. You could very well be the one and only source of psychological refuge for someone very lonely and otherwise without any support, and teachers do NOT get nearly enough recognition for everything they do.
Same. My facial hair, and brow bone cause me the most dysphoria. Having to shave every morning is such a chore, and if I'm going out after work, I have to remove my makeup, shave again, and put it back on. I'm saving now for laser hair removal. I can never get color correction to look right, I have really fair skin, when I use orange to hide the blue shadow it mixes in with the foundation I put over top of it, and makes it too dark.
Me too i used to use hair removal cream but i had a super bad reaction one time out of like using it 100 times and I went to razor and it was just awful ! I’ve been going to laser removal.... it’s great but don’t expect huge difference straight away
I'm 47 and I've been a closet crossdresser since I was 12, save for my solo trips where I go total en femme. Just took a lesson on how to put on my makeup by a lovely lady. It's a slow process, and I'm on a budget, but I'm loving this journey so far.
I’m still in the process of questioning but each day I feel more and more as if I am trans. I’ve been having a really hard time and I’ve been doing a bunch of research. I’m not ready to tell my doctor or family and the only person I’ve told that I’m questioning is my best friend. I’m gonna watch any videos you have about it because this one was super helpful.
I know this is an 8-year-old video, but the part where you were talking about learning to walk like a female made me remember something from my past and was able to make some connections. I remember being told by one of my friends to stop walking like you're gay. His dad is kind of a bigot, but snapped out of it, and later had a gay roommate. I go into my kitchen and do the walking exercise and realized that's how I've been walking for a long time. I think I've been unaware of so many things during my lif, and now that I'm seeing these things, it makes more sense.
Thank you so much for this video. My girlfriend of 3 years (we were dating as boyfriend/girlfriend) just came out to me as transgender last night and im watching a lot of videos to give her some ideas to help her feel more comfortable with herself. We are going to get our ears pierced and im going to surprise her with getting her nails done! ☺
Wish my wife was like you..she asked me for a afew years to grow some boobs and be a woman. Soon as i spent $300 on doing so (and i really pulled it off too) she said she doesnt want me to go through with it anymore. Sad part is i enjoyed my time dressing up and simply CD isnt enough :/ maybe some day in the future i guess :)
I hope my transition goes as well as yours. I genuinely would have never guessed you were transgender if I wasn't watching a video about how to transition
Clive Chiam I don't know how it is in other countries but in Scotland everyone I know has to be put on a waiting list that's over a year long and then you have about another 6 months before you'll even be considered for meds, the system has too many people not enough doctors and complete underfunding it's in shambles
Sometimes I wish I decide to transiting into a female when I in my teens,15,16 I think everything today proberly be a lot more simplier for me today as a female..
@@EllieArquette In the Netherlands we have a waiting period of "indefinite" with a minimum of 2.5 years. And younger people are cut in line first. So if there is a steady stream of young people, I may never get permission to transition...
@@klausvogler6710 you can still transition with other things! Hormones are great but there are other things you can do diff that make you feel more feminine
Casey, you are an inspiration that i wish i’d found decades ago (perhaps twenty years before the start of youtube would have been nice). Anyway yesterday i saw the specialist in my clinical chain that teaches all the other physicians about HRT. He asked me how long i’d been dressing: 1-3x/week the last ~18 months, hiatus before that with history going back to my late teens in the early 1980’s. (That’s full clothes and makeup public appearances.) he asked my goals: to blend into society as another woman. he asked what i’d accomplished to reach that goal so far: 105 hours of electrolysis before laser hair removal was developed, 9 or 10 sessions of laser hair removal, all of that facial and neck area. my first voice lessons cane from the book “ how to be a woman though male” (c) 1987 by Virginia Prince published by Chevalier Publications. Resources were more scarce in the 80’s. I didn’t see your checklist until after my appointment by day and a half after - - but my nails were painted my hair was French braided (I would only call my hair mid length because I had grounded out longer than the length I’m wearing it now and I really do miss my long hair I put together a fashionable outfit that was modest, covering my skin from my toes to my neck, and out to my wrists yet also concealed padding. my weight in the doctors office was 228 pounds. That included 40 DD bra stuffed with a pair of kneehighs and kilogram of pinto beans. I have a friend who used to use water balloons until she had a leakage problem and had to make up a quick lactation story on the spot… I’ll take the extra pounds on the scale and continue with pinto beans. In fact I may be adding to my “breast forms” soon. just to get my bras to fit better. The doctor signed himself homework and me homework… He’s checking the formulary to see what my insurance covers in terms of feminizing hormones… And he asked me to send him a research summary on the name and gender change procedures for the state I live in
@@abhirajsingh803 What exactly do you want to do? Transition? Mtf or ftm? There's plenty of info on the internet and on TH-cam, and a lot of stuff is very country-specific, so I'm not sure how much I can help you?
Loving the fact that they raised the minimum age required for HRT. Makes me feel really great that I’m gonna have to wait until my body is fully masculine before finally being allowed to try and make it go the other way.
For walking, I would also recommend that you focus on keeping your feet more aligned and your legs closer together. It sounds silly, but it might help to walk while imagining that you're holding a marble between your butt cheeks. Remember that you as a woman should walk more with your hips and not your shoulders the way men do. As far as feminizing your voice, remember that women do not use conjunctions nearly as much as men do. Women are also far more expressive. For example, notice when Casey speaks her voice is very emotive, it changes tone within a single sentence. Also, words should be fully and properly pronounced and vowel sounds should more rounded. For example, when practicing words with an "O" sound, look in a mirror and make sure that your lips are almost in the shape of an "O" as you're saying the word. Further more, certain consonants should be softened when spoken, such as the soft consonants like the letters "F" and "S". Then finally, please understand that a feminine voice is not always about the pitch of your voice. If you try to go from a baritone to a soprano you will very much sound like a falsetto and no one wants to sound like anything other than their true selves. When speaking, try taking your voice up half an octave, or just ever so slightly upwards and use the tips that I've previously mentioned. This will take lots of practice and you can do so in your car when driving or when you're home alone. What I did was repeat speeches that I knew by heart like The Gettysburg Address, or The Preamble To The Constitution, or The 23rd Psalms. Remember to practice, practice, practice and eventually you will find YOUR voice.
I've been using the ending slideshows from Fallout: New Vegas, DLCs and all. Ditto the in-game books from Oblivion and Skyrim (i.e., The Lusty Argonian Maid). I never considered "F" and "S" to be soft consonants. "Soft" implies "voiced" to me. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a language buff.
The best guide out there for voice is by Zheanna Rose, or TransVoiceLessons. It's very technical and complex and will take a long time to understand, let alone to even practice, but once you get over the initial starting point, you'll realize that it is possibly the best voice guide out there, and can be used for anyone, whether you're transitioning, using it for voice acting, or just to troll people online. Highly recommend googling L's Voice Guide
"Remember that you as a woman should walk more with your hips and not your shoulders the way men do." to hell with this social construct shet man or woman is determined by their genitals not their outer body, brains, beliefs or behaves, or anything else at least that is what english dictionary says
Hi Casey, As a MtF girl who was living openly for over a year before going to talk to my doctor I think your advice is great, going to the doctor and saying, hey ,I'm living this way "now" , can you help. Is alot more effective than going in early I think. I was cheering you on when you were talking about the huge change in quality of life that the laser hair removal can provide. Its the single biggest positive effect on my transition and quality of life for sure. learning to communicate with my voice differently is also very important to me,, I may consider doing voice lessons if I get fund it. One thing that occured to me is how I love hearing women who sing a little when they communicate and how they soothe and energize others with thier beautiful voices. like yours. For me voice is just another way to share beauty, caring, and playfullness so I try to reflect that when i speak to others. I feel that connecting with these emotions I want to share helps guide my voice. Dancing and yoga stretching has the been the enjoyable excersice movement to connect with female energy as well, don't forget to dance :) ,, thanks for sharing :)

I just started watching and you are beautiful. I'm a much older man, but I find you way more attractive than most other women. I subscribed and will watch more.
@@rileylittle2524 CP means cedar Point an amusement park in Ohio, i worked there 2 years ago and I met a transgirl I thought it was you. I always wanted to transition as well but emotionally I can't I this moment , Riley I wish you the best 💛💚💙💜
I’m so proud of Trans girls. It makes me smile when I see you go through with your transition. I fully support the blue, pink, and white flag. It means a lot to me.
Casey, you are such a sweetie. I'm 56 and just starting again to transition after a 20 year break. Its amazing how far things have moved on in that time. Keep up the great content. I wish you continued strength on your journey.
wow i was born incorrectly , took me 30 year to realize through a life of absolute missery being told by everyone around me who i have to be. you look amazing and have definitly inspired me 🌈!!!
The raw amount of information you posted here is staggering. My eyes' doors were blown off their hinges, which is a good thing because eyes shouldn't have doors... or hinges... but I digress! Your excellent, caring, and well-articulated advice was very, very encouraging.
You immediate gained a subscriber with me. You are SO gorgeous. Your hard work has obviously paid off very well. Thank you so much for the insight and tips. I am a late bloomer at 49 years old, but am doing my best with my transition. I am fortunate in being blessed with a youthful appearance and have always taken care of my skin, hair and body. Unfortunately, I still have a fair amount of muscle. I'll be working on that. I will be checking out all your videos. You are a breath of fresh air.
This is like one of the TOP 10 EVER TRANS HELP GUIDE VIDEOS that help every girl's transition of this generation, often go back for inspiration, thanks!!!
Here's one: STUDY the gender you really identify with. In a crowd, pick a person, and note everything. For example: how does a cis man stand? Where do his hands go? Elbows in, or out? Eyes steady, or searching? Fast, frequent blink, or slow. Study the voice: not just pitch, but speed, sentence length, and variation of tone. My son did a staggering amount of analytical people-watching, and it's amazing all of the cues that are out there.
I started social transition 5 months before I started HRT. I had joined a transwomen's support group, and they helped me enormously. I've had an orchie, but that's probably all I will do surgery-wise. I'm 63 and the risks of full gender reassignment surgery are substantial for someone my age.
Amazing tips! Before coming across this video I've already been doing some of the same steps on my own. I've changed my wardrobe, started working on my walk, and grew out my hair (still growing). I loved hearing about how you poured over makeup videos online. I do the same. I've started wearing make up to the point it makes me feel more comfortable with myself. I also started working on my voice feel more feminine, but this one will take a while. I'm living in Japan, so I've been researching a lot because I think it'll be much harder for me to go on HRT while living here. I want to be prepared before I visit the doctor to ask to start HRT.
thank you so much for doing videos like this. i'm so lost in starting my transition even though i've identified as genderqueer for the past two years. these videos have really helped me figure out what i can do for myself to feel more comfortable with my transition. i didnt realize how much of a struggle this would be to accept myself as a woman. but your videos have been helping a lot and i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To the truth, what you say is of great importance and gives you the time to adjust to perceiving you as the woman you want to be. This is the best method of gentle transition from a man to a woman and not to a shock therapy because the therapy can be negatively affected.
One year on HRT, at the age of 47. Happy with everything but voice. I will work on it when I'm ready. The key to me was not to rush with things without knowing for certain it was what I wanted. Great video.
Casey, you are a wise and beautiful woman. Being your best version of yourself is all that anyone could aspire to. I’ve been living feeling broken and not knowing what steps to take next. I even went into a masculine job like firefighting to attempt to “deal” with my feelings. It’s like my body and spirit were and still are out of step. Getting them in step with each other is all I have ever wanted.
Isn't there something called informed consent where you can be prescribed hormones a lot faster? Or is that also the route you and your friend took. How do you feel about informed consent?
I'm a softmore in highschool and I've been super shy about my feminine side because of all my boy friends at school and family that might judge or contradict that so I haven't really started buying feminine cloths or anything else besides daily shaving and growing out my hair but yours and others videos gives me a good idea for what to do once I open up thank you!
Laser hair removal on the face is a must, it is so permanent that I would need to talk with someone before I do it, not having it done does make presenting more of a challenge, I hate five o'clock shadows. Presenting is a MUST, everyone must DO IT! As far as walking goes, I think it helps to wear heels or platform shoes(Something that you like.) and everything just falls into place. It was easier to walk like me when I just decided to let go, after falling in love with it, from doing this, when I'd walk back to my car after work. I'm sure you would agree that all these little pieces make such a big difference. I don't think I need to work on things very much, I guess I'm still in the process of just letting it happen, the hard part is that, once I have something, I can't let it go........so I keep it, going back to not being me is not an option. I know people see things in me, and they know, so what and if they don't like it, they will have to deal with it, it would all happen anyway. ( .^_^. )
Will be purchasing a Tria laser for DIY hair removal. They are around $450 and I have seen tons of good reviews. Why pay a small fortune for someone's time when you can do it yourself, at your own pace, in the privacy of your own home? While my body hair is rather fine for male body hair, I have a thick beard :-( Not sure how I will look in heels. I am very tall and will have to learn to make my own shoes regardless. I am inclined to not give a crap as I have met many natal females who were taller than me! I have been getting stares my whole life because I tower over the crowd so I'm pretty confident about just being me.
don't wait till 5 oclock. sneak off shave again put on a new face .OMG I USED Hair REMoval Sally Hanson i don't recommend it for other people can irritate Also those Bovine hormonnes from Centurian & Trainsformation Magazine.And Tweezers ouch but it eventually comes back like gangbusters. Removed hair totally twice.I had my legs don lazer Lady did it too high and chicken pox like marks on my leggs killed my mini skirt action Later used iodine and baby oil on legs.Always use lotion or aloe from plant.Well any way marks on legs gone hair is fine just. pulls out easy but gone back to shaving with Venis
You should get electrolysis hair removal treatments not laser hair removal treatments. I had 18 laser hair removal treatments and it didn't work. Electrolysis hair removal treatments is the most effective way to treat the facial hair.
Thank you very much---Some of us "Can't live as a female because we have to Work for a living--(don't tell employers are'nt allow to discriminate(laws are for wealthy people)---My doctor won't even talk to me about hormones----Your advice is some of the soundest/most reasonable I've heard-
A friend has been teaching me how to walk I still have a ways to go but every time I go out she always gets me to practice my which helps she's a really good friend. Your dress is amazing I love floral print
I started off getting diagnosed with inattentive adhd and my doctor said that the medication would not do everything so i needed to exercise. I have a high labor gardening job, but I also started a new exercise routine to follow my dr's instructions. But i quickly realized normal exercises were boring for me and so I bought a skateboard. I hadnt skated in a few years, but the adhd medications adderall, tenex, and strattera (and now i dont need adderall) were really helping me understand that i could really add technique into how i practiced skating. I found that to be a technical skater, i needed a lot of toe, ankle, foot, calf, thigh, glute, pelvic floor, hips, core, lower back, shoulder, upper back, and chest strength and control-- ambidextrously too. When I started a bunch of exercises that were used for Ballet, my first thought was, 'omg ballerinas have legs and feet of steel if they practice carefully. So, as i opened my hips for skating and i got really flexible again, I realized i was also building some good looking cakes. After deciding i wasnt crazily attracted to myself, but i was sculpting a sexy feminine body on accident, I kept thinking about how i always felt that women in romantic and lesbian porn looked like they were having some of the best sensations on the planet and looked care-free, but also totally in control on the scene while getting paid well af. One time i decided to watch a scene in a semi-splits position and then I realized that the male penis is just a long clitoris and sex feels better when i think about my genitals as an extension of female genitals. I even thought that it would be really easy to have great non-penetration lesbian sex if i kept stretching and skating in my life. That also made me realize that if i stretched and exercised enough for the splits, i would be really good at skating, yet i didnt know that it would also make me pretty good at walking in heels for the first time since i was a toddler lmao. So when you say, find a line and walk along it, i was laughing bc i think of skateboarding as a balance beam with wheels that i jump on, roll with, and flip over. I need a lot of balance for skating, but not even as much balance as when models do a cat walk strut in heels and in wild new fashion. It is no wonder why i really think i can be an androgynous biological male and a gender fluid two-spirited trans lesbian without hormones or surgery, since i accidently chiseled a small feminine core, hips, and booty on my small framed male body from skateboarding to go along with me being in the itty bitty titty committee ;) The only thing that held me back from being comfortable with my shy, quite, and sometimes bubbly but smart femininity is that i didnt know i could be a trans women with tomboyish style and still have a preference for certain mixed-feminine women and trans women. I was also diagnosed with the inattentive type ADHD at 23 bc of my grad program but i was labeled gifted and was in magnet classes before college yet i never felt smart enough like other kids in the program but somehow passed easily. Im pretty sure if i was treated with female inattentive type ADHD as a kid, my gender and sexuality wouldve been easier to talk about by now. But i guess things happen in certain ways for a reason. But, this is the thing i have gender dysphoria about. I wish i wasnt so good at masking everything that was wrong with me when i was a child. I did this to the point where my parents think im an angel but also wonder why i smoke so much cannabis. And I barely know why i masked either but now i have a feeling that i was so good at masking and forgetting that i was subconsciously mimicking coping strategies i learned from observing people and things around me so i could fit in. I was so adhd-pi and so unfocused that i couldnt even be the true me or even try to explore and learn about me bc i was only focused on trying to fit in with all the socialization and school stuff around me until 2 and a half years into a grad program at 23 years old. I did well enough to pass as neurotypical and masculine, but ive burned out from being a chameleon so well and my adhd treatment, mostly because of strattera, is helping me understand the root of my spiritual and sensual being, my unique gender fluidity and my attraction to women in a shy feminine lesbian way rather than a creepy male way. And this is also why i feel on the fringe of LGBTQ, but more comfortable when i listen to how high functioning ASD/AFAB asperger people talk about gender fluidity, non-conforming, and non-binary orientations.
I never thought about the difficulty of having to learn to care for your hair, dress, and apply makeup. I am so thankful for my big sister, I watched her, and learned by the time I was 12-13 years old.
So inspirational. So sweet and focused. I have lived full time as fem since 1995 including 11 years in Hawaii. I own a busy company, don't really watch these clips, but my comment is, this lady is a wonderful role model. Wish I'd known someone like her in 92. 💕
I was depressed for years never smiled transitioned from last 2 years and I never been so happy my depression gone talking to his therapist helped me out a lot
Sexi Suzie Amina-- Its better to honest that we are transgender than to tell lies and hurt the other party.If the wife did not accept its ok.After all we have changed to 100 female and happy to be a woman for the rest of our life like our sisters. Be brave to face the world its our nature nobody can tell us not to change, correct sister Casey? We need your support to iñspire us to be good girls. I love u sister Casey for guiding us to our new journey.
casey blake, I can appreciate your video and agree with you, i am cocideribly older than you and totally understand,its good to see others like us, we are special people, I have always wanted the surgery but financially out of my reach, one thing is the easiest thing is just be yourself.
Thank you for your help. I found it difficult to change to full time. Hormones and laser hair helped a lot for me. You are an inspiration to every one wanting to transition to what ever level they want. Thank you
I favorited and liked this video so long ago, but found it again today through a friend's FB page. Can I just say, this is still a fantastic video. It's inspiring, and Casey, you are beautiful, and I think this has and continues to contribute a lot to those who are on the journey x
wow felt at ease listening to you and and you are so very femm after only 4 years . hope you make more videos you talk sence which is refreshingly diferent .. best of luck on the tube xxxx
Thank you hun, anything to help another educate the world on being transgender. Our youth needs to see that crazy surgery isn't needed to identify as your true self. Being happy doesn't come from surgery
I totally forgot about this channel....I think this was one of the first videos that actually helped me remember that I was transgender after suppressing it for so many years......I finally came out at age 20, started HRT last december I feel so great but there's still work to do; I don't feel comfortable enough to go full woman......I need my work done first; I need the surgeries so that I can feel complete
Practice the runway walk. Yes! I did this and it did not take long to get it. Small steps one foot in front of the other. Let your hips sway. It feels awesome!
I appreciate this video a bunch as I'm pre transitioning right now. I will also take a second to really stress how beautiful you are, my gosh I'd love to ask you out.
Another thing I would add: therapy is also helpful for a lot of people in that even if you "pass" well and have overtly feminine mannerisms (and don't need to wait long for hormones), you might still have general concerns or other mental health related issues (body image, realistic expectations, internalized trans/homophobia, etc.) on top of transness that need to be addressed as well. I had already been on hormones for a year and wound up in hospital because I had untreated depression, and although I'm glad I was able to start hormones when I did rather than waiting another year (especially since my providers weren't the most up-to-date in their trans knowledge to begin with), for some people (especially if you've suffered trauma or have little family/friend support), finding a therapist you click with is so important for long-term support beyond just the referral for hormones, and I wish I had that advantage early-on as well.
In the UK the waiting list to get referred to a clinic is like 5 years at the moment. If you go the private route you can be seen in about 2 months but it isn't cheap. First you got to pay a joiners fee of £195 and then a monthly subscription of £30 there after for this one private clinic's website I looked at. The good thing about going private though is that you don't have to see a theorist. You can if you want but it isn't compulsory. Prescriptions cost £10 each or you can buy your prescription through a pharmacracy. The other good thing about going private is that you don't have to be referred by your GP. You can self refer yourself. This is good especially if you don't want to tell your doctor.
I’m starting my journey tired of living a lie. Had kid’s, been in long term relationships. Overall I’ve played and dressed up in female clothes. Had this other personality which was like umm 🤔 you know you’re bullshitting yourself. I’m 34 and I’m ready to live my true life
Kudos to you. But is sad that you decided to have a long relationship and bring someone into your lie. Lie to yourself as much as you like but don’t mess with another people feeling like that. It is so painful. My husband done that to me. As much as I understand and support him I can not stop feeling that my husband have live a lie with me. I have lost my best years in that lie. She still wants to be in the relationship but I’m not attracted to women’s. I can not be intimidated with her. I will never trust anyone in my life. Please don’t do that with someone else for you cowardice. Is not fair
Livingthedream 85 Don’t Assume the relationship’s been dead and over with I didn’t want to jump back into another one until i knew what I wanted could have but I want to transition so I’m good off involving anyone else in my life until I’m all the way together
Hmmm, yeah the walk! Something underrated but so invaluable the whole look. Deportment is important in life, not just for transition of transgender people but all people, especially in business. I can tell from a walk the positive people from the negative, confidence from fear. It's that apparent. Good video you look amazing btw.
Yes! How we feel shines on the outside. So important to learn self love and to build your confidence. In the long run it pays off tremendously. Happy holidays and wishing you lots of love and positivity in the new year!
Primrose S never said it did, i was suggesting a higher doses, OP said she can do the voice but hasn't had any luck with appearance thats why i suggest a higher Doses and asking her doctor for it.
The voice is the hardest part for some people. I studied vocal music so this is not a big deal for me. Pitch is overrated and you can have a passable voice as long as you speak from above the Adam's apple with the right color and inflection. My big hurdle is my height (6'5")and necessitates I become seamstress (already know how to sew) and shoemaker. I would suggest you check out Stef Sanjati's makeup tutorials to learn how to make your face look more feminine. And remember, everyone has a different rate and quality of physical response to hormones. Nutrition is absolutely critical. I consume a lot of all organic smoothies which contain complete nutrition. It is better to have 5-6 small meals per day. Keep in mind your body is essentially going through puberty again. You need extra protein, vitamins, minerals, so even with an excellent diet, I still take supplements.
Even though this video is a few years old I watched it again for building my confidence! I am now counseling and will see a Dr. soon! Thank you Casey for sharing and being open. These are good tips for someone like me who is at the start of her transition! (mtf) Blessed Be!!
Everyone's bodies react differently to them. Also not everyone desired/needs what hormones offer to be happy with who they are. Hormones are a 100% optional step in transition. That's why I always recommend you do your research. HRT doesn't only have positive effects.
1st: you are stunningly gorgeous! :) 2nd: the part at the end almost brought me to tears. I am still questioning transitioning, but I only realized I would like that after I was married and had a child... I want to be a woman, but i will lose my family if I do that... I’m so confused and depressed about it. I wish I knew earlier... Anyway, thank you for the video though! Very insightful and great tips! :) Hugs!!! -Abby
I'm a transwoman, that put this video on my watch later list when I thought I would never get to start my medical transition, I'm now almost 2 years into my medical transition. I did most of these but this is great information.
I've always had a feminine figure and a fairly feminine voice, I'm not waiting SRS just testosterone blocker, female hormones and breast growth. just wondering if you have any suggestions or recommendations. thank you Olivia Marie
I have plenty of advice, but the best thing you can do is follow your heart. do what you want. Feel free to subscribe so more advice. I have a lot of ideas for new posts for this year.
WERE the voice lessonS (plural) expensive? WAS the voice lessoN (singular) expensive? Either way, I love her deep voice, very relaxing, unlike many screechy "feminine" voices that only raise the hair on my neck. My Godmother had such a nervous, terrified, high pitched voice, I thought my head (and hers) was cracking apart when she spoke. Not conducive to close encounters! Congratulations on your great progress. Why not make a video of your walking? I notice that since taking Tango lessons, (our instructor often demonstrates walking ON a perfect narrow line, not staggering back-and-forth across it), I now am conscious of my balance, and see too many swaggering, clumsy gaits (on men) that are only a put-off. Maybe they only need to lose a bit of weight? OTOHand, you look beautiful.
I love listening to your voice. Sorry, that was such a superficial comment .....I just added this 6 months later > You are so rational and mature with your advice. You sound like someone who is much older. Rare to hear such wisdom in someone so young.
Awesome advice, thank you. Ive literally been going to the gym for years just to feminize my body with “girl” workouts. Ive been obsessed ever since I found out I could make my butt big with squats. Ive been shaving my face and my body for years. A few years ago tho I started getting regular body waxings. Even more recently I started getting my face waxed too, it hurts like hell but the results are so much better than shaving. And Ive always wanted to grow my hair out like a girl but never had the confidence. I would let my hair grow for a month or 2 but then end up getting a guy hair cut because I didnt want anyone to get suspicious. About 2 years ago I said screw it and committed to letting my hair grow. My hair is longer than its ever been right now and Im loving it. So just like you said, Im pretty much already transgender. Im already doing everything within my power to look like a girl and Ive been doing it for years before I even realized what I was doing. I was always very slim and delicate for a guy. I was born with feminine qualities. I always wondered if I was meant to be a girl. About 10 years ago is when I started to embrace it.
@@CaseyBlake oh i know. I dying to start hrt asap! Im 31 but thank goodness i dont look my age, literally everyone i meet never believes me when i tell them how old i am. 🥰 but anyways thank you for the reply! And thanks for your video. You are gorgeous and an inspiration. ❤️❤️
hi Casea, I just found you, thanks for your advise. btw you're HOT, we others have to work hard to be feminin. Of course thinking and feeling like a woman is very important. ( love the voice).
I am a transgender woman , I am 61 and I have been dreaming of this time in my life for a long time, I thank you all for giving me so much confidence
wow
May I ask you some questions Madam?
@@numagama AZ
I am 61 also and beginning transition.
I’ve been living “full time” as female for over 6 years. I started my public transition about two years before I was officially on HRT. It wasn’t easy but it was made easier because I lived in and area where LGBT where mostly accepted. I still have anxiety about being in public and “passing” as female, partially because I spent most of my life living as male.
I also still hesitate to use public bathrooms unless I’m in a safe place.
Good luck to all my transgender sisters and brothers out there
The road isn’t easy, but it’s much easier when we support each other.
Nothing in life worth doing is easy.
Sexi Suzie - i am a woman now have woman mind. I first try wearing my sister panty and bta when i was 18 yrs at home only. My sister saw me wearing her panty and bra She scolded me and
my.mom asked her to allow me to wear. My mom later bought for me 3 pairs of bras anf panties to wear. Since then i wear bras and panties when i go oit with her. She told her friends i am her daughter. That encouraged me to wear female clothing, makeup, use perfume bought by my mom. She loved me and wanted me to be happy as a female.Its not easy to be a woman unless.you have make up your mind to trans from man to female take estrogen and female hormone.
The journey to become a female is tough but worth the sacrifice and overcoming obstacles esp. going out meeting people when I am dressed as female. I am now convenient going out in female dress.and.makeup.-Sexi Suzie Amina.
You haven’t lived a single moment as a female. You’re a man pretending to be a woman.
my younger sibling whos 14 just came out as mtf and this video i think will help her a lot to feel more comfortable
It is so cool that you are helping your sister with this process.

I'm a high school teacher and I'm thankful for those videos. Teenagers are trying to find out who they are and from time to time you come across one who is thinking about transitionning and I'm glad I can understand it better through the people who are sharing their experience through youtube so kudos to you guys !
Children (under 18-ish) should not be "transitioning." They don't know so much more than then they do-know-about everything, They are way too young to be making life-altering decisions.
@@leonardodalongisland too bad, I'm doing it anyway
@@leonardodalongisland no one asked.
i know you posted this like 3 years ago but i just wanted to say that i wish there had been more very cool and understanding teachers like you when i went through school. You could very well be the one and only source of psychological refuge for someone very lonely and otherwise without any support, and teachers do NOT get nearly enough recognition for everything they do.
I gotta shave in the morning! I haven't started laser removal yet but I can't wait I hate shaving.
I shave too
I use yellow correction on my face to cover blue stubbles still left behind.
Before I put foundation
I bet you’re pretty
Same. My facial hair, and brow bone cause me the most dysphoria. Having to shave every morning is such a chore, and if I'm going out after work, I have to remove my makeup, shave again, and put it back on. I'm saving now for laser hair removal. I can never get color correction to look right, I have really fair skin, when I use orange to hide the blue shadow it mixes in with the foundation I put over top of it, and makes it too dark.
Izy Cananua Use an orange colour corrector, it covers blue a lot more, yellow works better on green tones Xxxx
Me too i used to use hair removal cream but i had a super bad reaction one time out of like using it 100 times and I went to razor and it was just awful ! I’ve been going to laser removal.... it’s great but don’t expect huge difference straight away
I'm 47 and I've been a closet crossdresser since I was 12, save for my solo trips where I go total en femme. Just took a lesson on how to put on my makeup by a lovely lady. It's a slow process, and I'm on a budget, but I'm loving this journey so far.
welcome to the long journey

gladfan1989 proud trans ❤️
I’m still in the process of questioning but each day I feel more and more as if I am trans. I’ve been having a really hard time and I’ve been doing a bunch of research. I’m not ready to tell my doctor or family and the only person I’ve told that I’m questioning is my best friend. I’m gonna watch any videos you have about it because this one was super helpful.
I know this is an 8-year-old video, but the part where you were talking about learning to walk like a female made me remember something from my past and was able to make some connections. I remember being told by one of my friends to stop walking like you're gay. His dad is kind of a bigot, but snapped out of it, and later had a gay roommate. I go into my kitchen and do the walking exercise and realized that's how I've been walking for a long time. I think I've been unaware of so many things during my lif, and now that I'm seeing these things, it makes more sense.
Thank you so much for this video. My girlfriend of 3 years (we were dating as boyfriend/girlfriend) just came out to me as transgender last night and im watching a lot of videos to give her some ideas to help her feel more comfortable with herself. We are going to get our ears pierced and im going to surprise her with getting her nails done! ☺
You're the best girlfriend ever! She couldn't be luckier to have your understanding and support.
Wish my wife was like you..she asked me for a afew years to grow some boobs and be a woman. Soon as i spent $300 on doing so (and i really pulled it off too) she said she doesnt want me to go through with it anymore. Sad part is i enjoyed my time dressing up and simply CD isnt enough :/ maybe some day in the future i guess :)
I wish that happened to me also
I hope my transition goes as well as yours. I genuinely would have never guessed you were transgender if I wasn't watching a video about how to transition
I appreciate the compliment hun.
Update? 😊
She is Beautiful.
How is your transition going?
Casey Blake It's not a compliment. It's a fact. I didn't know you were transgender watching this.
This helps because I'm becoming trans from male to female
I transitioned at 63, I’m 71 now, believe me, I’ve NEVER been happier in my entire life, it’s never to late to live your best life
It legit took me about 2 years to get on hormones and an extra 4 months to get anti androgens...it's an arduous battle
Ellie-Rose Arquette Why did it take so long?! I got mine (progynona) literally 20 mins upon entering my doctors office!
Clive Chiam I don't know how it is in other countries but in Scotland everyone I know has to be put on a waiting list that's over a year long and then you have about another 6 months before you'll even be considered for meds, the system has too many people not enough doctors and complete underfunding it's in shambles
Sometimes I wish I decide to transiting into a female when I in my teens,15,16 I think everything today proberly be a lot more simplier for me today as a female..
@@EllieArquette In the Netherlands we have a waiting period of "indefinite" with a minimum of 2.5 years. And younger people are cut in line first. So if there is a steady stream of young people, I may never get permission to transition...
@@klausvogler6710 you can still transition with other things! Hormones are great but there are other things you can do diff that make you feel more feminine
Casey, you are an inspiration that i wish i’d found decades ago (perhaps twenty years before the start of youtube would have been nice).
Anyway yesterday i saw the specialist in my clinical chain that teaches all the other physicians about HRT.
He asked me how long i’d been dressing: 1-3x/week the last ~18 months, hiatus before that with history going back to my late teens in the early 1980’s. (That’s full clothes and makeup public appearances.)
he asked my goals: to blend into society as another woman.
he asked what i’d accomplished to reach that goal so far: 105 hours of electrolysis before laser hair removal was developed, 9 or 10 sessions of laser hair removal, all of that facial and neck area.
my first voice lessons cane from the book “ how to be a woman though male” (c) 1987 by Virginia Prince published by Chevalier Publications.
Resources were more scarce in the 80’s.
I didn’t see your checklist until after my appointment by day and a half after - - but my nails were painted my hair was French braided (I would only call my hair mid length because I had grounded out longer than the length I’m wearing it now and I really do miss my long hair
I put together a fashionable outfit that was modest, covering my skin from my toes to my neck, and out to my wrists yet also concealed padding.
my weight in the doctors office was 228 pounds. That included 40 DD bra stuffed with a pair of kneehighs and kilogram of pinto beans. I have a friend who used to use water balloons until she had a leakage problem and had to make up a quick lactation story on the spot… I’ll take the extra pounds on the scale and continue with pinto beans. In fact I may be adding to my “breast forms” soon. just to get my bras to fit better.
The doctor signed himself homework and me homework… He’s checking the formulary to see what my insurance covers in terms of feminizing hormones… And he asked me to send him a research summary on the name and gender change procedures for the state I live in
your makeup game is on point hooooh

Loving the fact that they raised the minimum age required for HRT. Makes me feel really great that I’m gonna have to wait until my body is fully masculine before finally being allowed to try and make it go the other way.

This sarcasm right?

For walking, I would also recommend that you focus on keeping your feet more aligned and your legs closer together. It sounds silly, but it might help to walk while imagining that you're holding a marble between your butt cheeks. Remember that you as a woman should walk more with your hips and not your shoulders the way men do.
As far as feminizing your voice, remember that women do not use conjunctions nearly as much as men do. Women are also far more expressive. For example, notice when Casey speaks her voice is very emotive, it changes tone within a single sentence. Also, words should be fully and properly pronounced and vowel sounds should more rounded. For example, when practicing words with an "O" sound, look in a mirror and make sure that your lips are almost in the shape of an "O" as you're saying the word. Further more, certain consonants should be softened when spoken, such as the soft consonants like the letters "F" and "S". Then finally, please understand that a feminine voice is not always about the pitch of your voice. If you try to go from a baritone to a soprano you will very much sound like a falsetto and no one wants to sound like anything other than their true selves. When speaking, try taking your voice up half an octave, or just ever so slightly upwards and use the tips that I've previously mentioned. This will take lots of practice and you can do so in your car when driving or when you're home alone. What I did was repeat speeches that I knew by heart like The Gettysburg Address, or The Preamble To The Constitution, or The 23rd Psalms. Remember to practice, practice, practice and eventually you will find YOUR voice.
I've been using the ending slideshows from Fallout: New Vegas, DLCs and all. Ditto the in-game books from Oblivion and Skyrim (i.e., The Lusty Argonian Maid).
I never considered "F" and "S" to be soft consonants. "Soft" implies "voiced" to me. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a language buff.
i’m practicing to speak feminine while reading this. Who else does?
The best guide out there for voice is by Zheanna Rose, or TransVoiceLessons. It's very technical and complex and will take a long time to understand, let alone to even practice, but once you get over the initial starting point, you'll realize that it is possibly the best voice guide out there, and can be used for anyone, whether you're transitioning, using it for voice acting, or just to troll people online.
Highly recommend googling L's Voice Guide
"Remember that you as a woman should walk more with your hips and not your shoulders the way men do."
to hell with this social construct shet
man or woman is determined by their genitals not their outer body, brains, beliefs or behaves, or anything else
at least that is what english dictionary says
@@user-wk2gi5cp9y you are a licensed f-cking moron.
Hi Casey, As a MtF girl who was living openly for over a year before going to talk to my doctor I think your advice is great, going to the doctor and saying, hey ,I'm living this way "now" , can you help. Is alot more effective than going in early I think.
I was cheering you on when you were talking about the huge change in quality of life that the laser hair removal can provide. Its the single biggest positive effect on my transition and quality of life for sure.
learning to communicate with my voice differently is also very important to me,, I may consider doing voice lessons if I get fund it. One thing that occured to me is how I love hearing women who sing a little when they communicate and how they soothe and energize others with thier beautiful voices. like yours. For me voice is just another way to share beauty, caring, and playfullness so I try to reflect that when i speak to others. I feel that connecting with these emotions I want to share helps guide my voice.
Dancing and yoga stretching has the been the enjoyable excersice movement to connect with female energy as well, don't forget to dance :) ,, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for taking the time to engage with me! I really love that what I am saying is accurate to what other Trans women would say. XOXO

Casey, you are such a sweetie. I'm 56 and just starting again to transition after a 20 year break. Its amazing how far things have moved on in that time. Keep up the great content. I wish you continued strength on your journey.
wow i was born incorrectly , took me 30 year to realize through a life of absolute missery being told by everyone around me who i have to be.
you look amazing and have definitly inspired me 🌈!!!
The raw amount of information you posted here is staggering. My eyes' doors were blown off their hinges, which is a good thing because eyes shouldn't have doors... or hinges... but I digress!
Your excellent, caring, and well-articulated advice was very, very encouraging.
You immediate gained a subscriber with me. You are SO gorgeous. Your hard work has obviously paid off very well.
Thank you so much for the insight and tips. I am a late bloomer at 49 years old, but am doing my best with my transition. I am fortunate in being blessed with a youthful appearance and have always taken care of my skin, hair and body. Unfortunately, I still have a fair amount of muscle. I'll be working on that.

This is like one of the TOP 10 EVER TRANS HELP GUIDE VIDEOS that help every girl's transition of this generation, often go back for inspiration, thanks!!!
I'm so happy you enjoy my content. I'm so passionate about this topic.
I'm just starting my transition, and you're one of the first people i found to watch. Thank you for posting this video it is very empowering
Here's one: STUDY the gender you really identify with. In a crowd, pick a person, and note everything. For example: how does a cis man stand? Where do his hands go? Elbows in, or out? Eyes steady, or searching? Fast, frequent blink, or slow. Study the voice: not just pitch, but speed, sentence length, and variation of tone.
My son did a staggering amount of analytical people-watching, and it's amazing all of the cues that are out there.
I'm about to come out soon to my family because I feel confident enough.
I started social transition 5 months before I started HRT. I had joined a transwomen's support group, and they helped me enormously. I've had an orchie, but that's probably all I will do surgery-wise. I'm 63 and the risks of full gender reassignment surgery are substantial for someone my age.
Amazing tips! Before coming across this video I've already been doing some of the same steps on my own. I've changed my wardrobe, started working on my walk, and grew out my hair (still growing). I loved hearing about how you poured over makeup videos online. I do the same. I've started wearing make up to the point it makes me feel more comfortable with myself. I also started working on my voice feel more feminine, but this one will take a while.
I'm living in Japan, so I've been researching a lot because I think it'll be much harder for me to go on HRT while living here. I want to be prepared before I visit the doctor to ask to start HRT.
thank you so much for doing videos like this. i'm so lost in starting my transition even though i've identified as genderqueer for the past two years. these videos have really helped me figure out what i can do for myself to feel more comfortable with my transition. i didnt realize how much of a struggle this would be to accept myself as a woman. but your videos have been helping a lot and i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Great video, Casey. Lots of good tips and pointers. Best part, your desire to help others and sincerity shine so brightly. You are beautiful.
To the truth, what you say is of great importance and gives you the time to adjust to perceiving you as the woman you want to be.
This is the best method of gentle transition from a man to a woman and not to a shock therapy because the therapy can be negatively affected.
One year on HRT, at the age of 47. Happy with everything but voice. I will work on it when I'm ready. The key to me was not to rush with things without knowing for certain it was what I wanted. Great video.
can you tell me the clinic where togo fo a transition please
Casey, you are a wise and beautiful woman. Being your best version of yourself is all that anyone could aspire to. I’ve been living feeling broken and not knowing what steps to take next. I even went into a masculine job like firefighting to attempt to “deal” with my feelings.
It’s like my body and spirit were and still are out of step. Getting them in step with each other is all I have ever wanted.
So happy for you.You are beautiful and have a kind personality as well. hugs
This video had all the answers to more questions than I thought I had, so THANK U!
I love your dress
Finally a trans channel that makes sense!Thank you for a mature, honest perspective 😊
I wish Casey were still active on TH-cam 😥
Isn't there something called informed consent where you can be prescribed hormones a lot faster? Or is that also the route you and your friend took. How do you feel about informed consent?
I'm a softmore in highschool and I've been super shy about my feminine side because of all my boy friends at school and family that might judge or contradict that so I haven't really started buying feminine cloths or anything else besides daily shaving and growing out my hair but yours and others videos gives me a good idea for what to do once I open up thank you!
I'm so happy my videos can help. Best of luck lovely
Thank you for making this video, it was lovely and made me feel a little better about my future.
Just found this video, trying to help my MTF step child and didn’t know where to start with helping her. This is so useful, thank you xx
Laser hair removal on the face is a must, it is so permanent that I would need to talk with someone before I do it, not having it done does make presenting more of a challenge, I hate five o'clock shadows. Presenting is a MUST, everyone must DO IT! As far as walking goes, I think it helps to wear heels or platform shoes(Something that you like.) and everything just falls into place. It was easier to walk like me when I just decided to let go, after falling in love with it, from doing this, when I'd walk back to my car after work. I'm sure you would agree that all these little pieces make such a big difference. I don't think I need to work on things very much, I guess I'm still in the process of just letting it happen, the hard part is that, once I have something, I can't let it go........so I keep it, going back to not being me is not an option. I know people see things in me, and they know, so what and if they don't like it, they will have to deal with it, it would all happen anyway. ( .^_^. )
Will be purchasing a Tria laser for DIY hair removal. They are around $450 and I have seen tons of good reviews. Why pay a small fortune for someone's time when you can do it yourself, at your own pace, in the privacy of your own home?
While my body hair is rather fine for male body hair, I have a thick beard :-(
Not sure how I will look in heels. I am very tall and will have to learn to make my own shoes regardless. I am inclined to not give a crap as I have met many natal females who were taller than me!
I have been getting stares my whole life because I tower over the crowd so I'm pretty confident about just being me.
Why did you choose laser hair removal vs electrolysis?
don't wait till 5 oclock. sneak off shave again put on a new face .OMG I USED Hair REMoval Sally Hanson i don't recommend it for other people can irritate Also those Bovine hormonnes from Centurian & Trainsformation Magazine.And Tweezers ouch but it eventually comes back like gangbusters. Removed hair totally twice.I had my legs don lazer Lady did it too high and chicken pox like
marks on my leggs killed my mini skirt action Later used iodine and baby oil on legs.Always use lotion or aloe from plant.Well any way marks on legs gone hair is fine just. pulls out easy but gone back to shaving with Venis
Zoey H not all girls wear out nowdays. girly converse are popular and Sandals nut i like in Fl
You should get electrolysis hair removal treatments not laser hair removal treatments. I had 18 laser hair removal treatments and it didn't work. Electrolysis hair removal treatments is the most effective way to treat the facial hair.
Thank you very much---Some of us "Can't live as a female because we have to Work for a living--(don't tell employers are'nt allow to discriminate(laws are for wealthy people)---My doctor won't even talk to me about hormones----Your advice is some of the soundest/most reasonable I've heard-
A friend has been teaching me how to walk I still have a ways to go but every time I go out she always gets me to practice my which helps she's a really good friend. Your dress is amazing I love floral print
hi! the tips you gave are very helpful for me. I am in the beginning stage of transitioning, and these wil help me a lot, thanks XX
I started off getting diagnosed with inattentive adhd and my doctor said that the medication would not do everything so i needed to exercise. I have a high labor gardening job, but I also started a new exercise routine to follow my dr's instructions. But i quickly realized normal exercises were boring for me and so I bought a skateboard. I hadnt skated in a few years, but the adhd medications adderall, tenex, and strattera (and now i dont need adderall) were really helping me understand that i could really add technique into how i practiced skating. I found that to be a technical skater, i needed a lot of toe, ankle, foot, calf, thigh, glute, pelvic floor, hips, core, lower back, shoulder, upper back, and chest strength and control-- ambidextrously too. When I started a bunch of exercises that were used for Ballet, my first thought was, 'omg ballerinas have legs and feet of steel if they practice carefully.
So, as i opened my hips for skating and i got really flexible again, I realized i was also building some good looking cakes. After deciding i wasnt crazily attracted to myself, but i was sculpting a sexy feminine body on accident, I kept thinking about how i always felt that women in romantic and lesbian porn looked like they were having some of the best sensations on the planet and looked care-free, but also totally in control on the scene while getting paid well af. One time i decided to watch a scene in a semi-splits position and then I realized that the male penis is just a long clitoris and sex feels better when i think about my genitals as an extension of female genitals. I even thought that it would be really easy to have great non-penetration lesbian sex if i kept stretching and skating in my life. That also made me realize that if i stretched and exercised enough for the splits, i would be really good at skating, yet i didnt know that it would also make me pretty good at walking in heels for the first time since i was a toddler lmao.
So when you say, find a line and walk along it, i was laughing bc i think of skateboarding as a balance beam with wheels that i jump on, roll with, and flip over. I need a lot of balance for skating, but not even as much balance as when models do a cat walk strut in heels and in wild new fashion. It is no wonder why i really think i can be an androgynous biological male and a gender fluid two-spirited trans lesbian without hormones or surgery, since i accidently chiseled a small feminine core, hips, and booty on my small framed male body from skateboarding to go along with me being in the itty bitty titty committee ;)
The only thing that held me back from being comfortable with my shy, quite, and sometimes bubbly but smart femininity is that i didnt know i could be a trans women with tomboyish style and still have a preference for certain mixed-feminine women and trans women. I was also diagnosed with the inattentive type ADHD at 23 bc of my grad program but i was labeled gifted and was in magnet classes before college yet i never felt smart enough like other kids in the program but somehow passed easily. Im pretty sure if i was treated with female inattentive type ADHD as a kid, my gender and sexuality wouldve been easier to talk about by now. But i guess things happen in certain ways for a reason.
But, this is the thing i have gender dysphoria about. I wish i wasnt so good at masking everything that was wrong with me when i was a child. I did this to the point where my parents think im an angel but also wonder why i smoke so much cannabis. And I barely know why i masked either but now i have a feeling that i was so good at masking and forgetting that i was subconsciously mimicking coping strategies i learned from observing people and things around me so i could fit in. I was so adhd-pi and so unfocused that i couldnt even be the true me or even try to explore and learn about me bc i was only focused on trying to fit in with all the socialization and school stuff around me until 2 and a half years into a grad program at 23 years old. I did well enough to pass as neurotypical and masculine, but ive burned out from being a chameleon so well and my adhd treatment, mostly because of strattera, is helping me understand the root of my spiritual and sensual being, my unique gender fluidity and my attraction to women in a shy feminine lesbian way rather than a creepy male way. And this is also why i feel on the fringe of LGBTQ, but more comfortable when i listen to how high functioning ASD/AFAB asperger people talk about gender fluidity, non-conforming, and non-binary orientations.
I wish I can get to where she is.

I never thought about the difficulty of having to learn to care for your hair, dress, and apply makeup. I am so thankful for my big sister, I watched her, and learned by the time I was 12-13 years old.
Casey Blake looks very pretty in this video. Thank you for posting this video!
So inspirational. So sweet and focused. I have lived full time as fem since 1995 including 11 years in Hawaii. I own a busy company, don't really watch these clips, but my comment is, this lady is a wonderful role model. Wish I'd known someone like her in 92. 💕
You are lovely as heck and thank you for the wonderful tips. I am starting mine and I hope it works out.
I am straight and bumped into this video. You are a classy, elegant woman...congrats!!
I tried the walk and It feels like I'm gonna fall over.
I was depressed for years never smiled transitioned from last 2 years and I never been so happy my depression gone talking to his therapist helped me out a lot
You were also blessed with a gorgeous fem body and face so that is a giant plus for you PLUS you started young - perfect.
Sexi Suzie Amina-- Its better to honest that we are transgender than to tell lies and hurt the other party.If the wife did not accept its ok.After all we have changed to 100 female and happy to be a woman for the rest of our life like our sisters. Be brave to face the world its our nature nobody can tell us not to change, correct sister Casey? We need your support to iñspire us to be good girls. I love u sister Casey for guiding us to our new journey.
casey blake, I can appreciate your video and agree with you, i am cocideribly older than you and totally understand,its good to see others like us, we are special people, I have always wanted the surgery but financially out of my reach, one thing is the easiest thing is just be yourself.
loved your tips! great video!
Thank you for your help. I found it difficult to change to full time. Hormones and laser hair helped a lot for me. You are an inspiration to every one wanting to transition to what ever level they want. Thank you
You are an inspiration you talk very well you should do counseling for this you're absolutely gorgeous
I favorited and liked this video so long ago, but found it again today through a friend's FB page. Can I just say, this is still a fantastic video. It's inspiring, and Casey, you are beautiful, and I think this has and continues to contribute a lot to those who are on the journey x
trans woman here trying to get a courage to see a doctor and start my medical transition journey..
wow felt at ease listening to you and and you are so very femm after only 4 years . hope you make more videos you talk sence which is refreshingly diferent .. best of luck on the tube xxxx
What a fantastic video. Great advice.
Thank you hun, anything to help another educate the world on being transgender. Our youth needs to see that crazy surgery isn't needed to identify as your true self. Being happy doesn't come from surgery
I totally forgot about this channel....I think this was one of the first videos that actually helped me remember that I was transgender after suppressing it for so many years......I finally came out at age 20, started HRT last december
I feel so great but there's still work to do; I don't feel comfortable enough to go full woman......I need my work done first; I need the surgeries so that I can feel complete
For me I've learned to walk in a straight line because I'm in band.
You are truly beautiful, both physically and spiritually. Thank you so much for caring and sharing!
You are just gorgeous!
Practice the runway walk. Yes! I did this and it did not take long to get it. Small steps one foot in front of the other. Let your hips sway. It feels awesome!
I appreciate this video a bunch as I'm pre transitioning right now. I will also take a second to really stress how beautiful you are, my gosh I'd love to ask you out.
Hi Casey ! I have Dr's appointment this week, getting proscription to start HRT , I am excited You've being very helpful. I will keep you updated.
u re all helped me and I would like u to know I start hormones soon I'm so excited
You've really made me feel a lot more confident and I am feeling excited about seeing a therapist and getting my life started.
L am a Baritone, 6'
' 6'" and size 18-4E shoes. I literally look like Sasquatch. What do I do?
i hope you have found a form of expression that affirms who you are! much love to you 🍒
Another thing I would add: therapy is also helpful for a lot of people in that even if you "pass" well and have overtly feminine mannerisms (and don't need to wait long for hormones), you might still have general concerns or other mental health related issues (body image, realistic expectations, internalized trans/homophobia, etc.) on top of transness that need to be addressed as well. I had already been on hormones for a year and wound up in hospital because I had untreated depression, and although I'm glad I was able to start hormones when I did rather than waiting another year (especially since my providers weren't the most up-to-date in their trans knowledge to begin with), for some people (especially if you've suffered trauma or have little family/friend support), finding a therapist you click with is so important for long-term support beyond just the referral for hormones, and I wish I had that advantage early-on as well.
Seeing a therapist can be extremely helpful. I will definitely be talking about therapy while transitioning in a future video! THanks for sharing
WOW, II want to transition, You have given me confidence,
me too
same
Me too dream of it every night
In the UK the waiting list to get referred to a clinic is like 5 years at the moment. If you go the private route you can be seen in about 2 months but it isn't cheap. First you got to pay a joiners fee of £195 and then a monthly subscription of £30 there after for this one private clinic's website I looked at. The good thing about going private though is that you don't have to see a theorist. You can if you want but it isn't compulsory. Prescriptions cost £10 each or you can buy your prescription through a pharmacracy.
The other good thing about going private is that you don't have to be referred by your GP. You can self refer yourself. This is good especially if you don't want to tell your doctor.
I’m starting my journey tired of living a lie. Had kid’s, been in long term relationships. Overall I’ve played and dressed up in female clothes. Had this other personality which was like umm 🤔 you know you’re bullshitting yourself. I’m 34 and I’m ready to live my true life
Kudos to you. But is sad that you decided to have a long relationship and bring someone into your lie. Lie to yourself as much as you like but don’t mess with another people feeling like that. It is so painful. My husband done that to me. As much as I understand and support him I can not stop feeling that my husband have live a lie with me. I have lost my best years in that lie. She still wants to be in the relationship but I’m not attracted to women’s. I can not be intimidated with her. I will never trust anyone in my life. Please don’t do that with someone else for you
cowardice. Is not fair
Livingthedream 85 Don’t Assume the relationship’s been dead and over with I didn’t want to jump back into another one until i knew what I wanted could have but I want to transition so I’m good off involving anyone else in my life until I’m all the way together
Hmmm, yeah the walk! Something underrated but so invaluable the whole look. Deportment is important in life, not just for transition of transgender people but all people, especially in business. I can tell from a walk the positive people from the negative, confidence from fear. It's that apparent. Good video you look amazing btw.
Yes! How we feel shines on the outside. So important to learn self love and to build your confidence. In the long run it pays off tremendously. Happy holidays and wishing you lots of love and positivity in the new year!
I can do the voice but I don't look anything close to looking like a female and I've been on hrt for a year 😑
Joshua Willis might want to change of doctor and maybe get a higher, don't be afraid to ask your doctor.
Raul Zarco sadly, HRT does NOT change the voice for MtF
Primrose S never said it did, i was suggesting a higher doses, OP said she can do the voice but hasn't had any luck with appearance thats why i suggest a higher Doses and asking her doctor for it.
Ohhh okay I misread :P
The voice is the hardest part for some people. I studied vocal music so this is not a big deal for me. Pitch is overrated and you can have a passable voice as long as you speak from above the Adam's apple with the right color and inflection.
My big hurdle is my height (6'5")and necessitates I become seamstress (already know how to sew) and shoemaker.
I would suggest you check out Stef Sanjati's makeup tutorials to learn how to make your face look more feminine.
And remember, everyone has a different rate and quality of physical response to hormones.
Nutrition is absolutely critical. I consume a lot of all organic smoothies which contain complete nutrition. It is better to have 5-6 small meals per day.
Keep in mind your body is essentially going through puberty again. You need extra protein, vitamins, minerals, so even with an excellent diet, I still take supplements.
You can be so proud of yourself
U r awesome thanks for the tips
No your awesome!
Even though this video is a few years old I watched it again for building my confidence! I am now counseling and will see a Dr. soon! Thank you Casey for sharing and being open. These are good tips for someone like me who is at the start of her transition! (mtf)
Blessed Be!!
Why would you not use hrt?
Everyone's bodies react differently to them. Also not everyone desired/needs what hormones offer to be happy with who they are. Hormones are a 100% optional step in transition. That's why I always recommend you do your research. HRT doesn't only have positive effects.
1st: you are stunningly gorgeous! :)
2nd: the part at the end almost brought me to tears. I am still questioning transitioning, but I only realized I would like that after I was married and had a child... I want to be a woman, but i will lose my family if I do that... I’m so confused and depressed about it. I wish I knew earlier...
Anyway, thank you for the video though! Very insightful and great tips! :)
Hugs!!!

Being trans is so complex sometimes
I'm a transwoman, that put this video on my watch later list when I thought I would never get to start my medical transition, I'm now almost 2 years into my medical transition. I did most of these but this is great information.
I've always had a feminine figure and a fairly feminine voice, I'm not waiting SRS just testosterone blocker, female hormones and breast growth.
just wondering if you have any suggestions or recommendations.
thank you
Olivia Marie
I have plenty of advice, but the best thing you can do is follow your heart. do what you want. Feel free to subscribe so more advice. I have a lot of ideas for new posts for this year.
Valued pieces of advice. Strongly recommended for whom starting a transition. Great video, well done. Thanks a lot, Casey
Was the voice lessons expensive?
Very. But it was 100% worth it.
WERE the voice lessonS (plural) expensive? WAS the voice lessoN (singular) expensive? Either way, I love her deep voice, very relaxing, unlike many screechy "feminine" voices that only raise the hair on my neck. My Godmother had such a nervous, terrified, high pitched voice, I thought my head (and hers) was cracking apart when she spoke. Not conducive to close encounters! Congratulations on your great progress. Why not make a video of your walking? I notice that since taking Tango lessons, (our instructor often demonstrates walking ON a perfect narrow line, not staggering back-and-forth across it), I now am conscious of my balance, and see too many swaggering, clumsy gaits (on men) that are only a put-off. Maybe they only need to lose a bit of weight? OTOHand, you look beautiful.
I love listening to your voice. Sorry, that was such a superficial comment .....I just added this 6 months later > You are so rational and mature with your advice. You sound like someone who is much older. Rare to hear such wisdom in someone so young.
Damn it, I just wrote that comment sometime ago and now I can't seem to want to take my wig off (lol.) yes, that just happened , too funny. ( ^_^. )
Love it
I'm so glad to hear it! Rock on my friend, rock on. Yes, I will be watching too. ( ^_^. )
Awesome advice, thank you. Ive literally been going to the gym for years just to feminize my body with “girl” workouts. Ive been obsessed ever since I found out I could make my butt big with squats. Ive been shaving my face and my body for years. A few years ago tho I started getting regular body waxings. Even more recently I started getting my face waxed too, it hurts like hell but the results are so much better than shaving. And Ive always wanted to grow my hair out like a girl but never had the confidence. I would let my hair grow for a month or 2 but then end up getting a guy hair cut because I didnt want anyone to get suspicious. About 2 years ago I said screw it and committed to letting my hair grow. My hair is longer than its ever been right now and Im loving it. So just like you said, Im pretty much already transgender. Im already doing everything within my power to look like a girl and Ive been doing it for years before I even realized what I was doing. I was always very slim and delicate for a guy. I was born with feminine qualities. I always wondered if I was meant to be a girl. About 10 years ago is when I started to embrace it.
There is no such thing as too late. We should all strive to be our most authentic selves. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@CaseyBlake oh i know. I dying to start hrt asap! Im 31 but thank goodness i dont look my age, literally everyone i meet never believes me when i tell them how old i am. 🥰 but anyways thank you for the reply! And thanks for your video. You are gorgeous and an inspiration. ❤️❤️
hi Casea, I just found you, thanks for your advise. btw you're HOT, we others have to work hard to be feminin. Of course thinking and feeling like a woman is very important. ( love the voice).
