Thank you so much for all of your beautiful messages 🥰🥰 I am absolutely 100% blown away, again, by this incredible community. Thank you, also, for the lovely art renditions of this pony (you can see them in the Discord and I will include them in the next video!). Your kind and welcoming words truly made a difference for many people yesterday, and I AM SO GRATEFUL.
Edit: I woke up to some of the sweetest messages I've ever read. I'm glad knowing I'm not alone and that I shouldn't be ashamed for my hobbies! Thank you everyone, I feel so accepted ❤️ This is so amazing! I felt my heart flutter when I got the notification. I'm a trans guy who collects ponies and I feel a little ashamed about not being into a more manly hobby. I love this so much, thank you ❤
same!! It's taken quite a bit of unlearning my own toxic masculinity to let myself enjoy ponies, but it's so fulfilling now that I can let myself 💕 And thrift hunting for ponies is so much fun
@@rainybrewster I have an og g1 Tootsie pony that I found at a convention for all kinds of nerdy stuff I hope you can find some awesome ponies in the future good luck to you
This is incredibly sweet, as a viewer who’s a member of the trans community, this is so so meaningful (plus the trans pride flag’s colour are very visually pleasing!) With there being so much hate and misinformation out there about us at the moment, it’s so refreshing to see such a simple yet powerful show of allyship. Thank you ❤️.
With everything going on right now, regarding how trans people are treated and viewed in the news, this is a moment of pure warmth and hope. Thank you 🌈🥰 it means so much to have your support!🏳️⚧️
Thank you for actually sharing information and showcasing trans creators rather than just making something in the pride colours! I think often people just use the aesthetics of pride without really considering the people it’s for!
Aww, I’m a non-binary person and I appreciate the love! This is such a kind a sweet gesture. You made my whole week! Thank you, RetroGeek & Bruno; I’m sending you my love! 🏳️⚧️💛🤍💜🖤
It kinda feels like an allegory for a trans person blossoming into their true selves and bringing themselves out of a dark place. Thank you for this beautiful pony
Awwww, yeah A pony for me? Your biggest fan AND local trans man?? Thank you so very much! Jokes aside, I'm in LOVE with this custom, as per usual, and felt even more connected to it than in any other previous customs! You really outdo yourself every video!! Sending you much love from my little trans heart, keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you! This means a lot. Coming from a nonbinary person and a part of the trans community, this video felt very special. She also came out BEAUTIFULLY.
It's actually the perfect time to upload it though because it's transgender awareness week! This also reminds me that I need to get back to my first custom. I was inspired by you to make it and coincidentally it's also trans themed. I'm trying to decide if I should make a video or not
You should totally make a vid of your own custom, it might not get much attention, but creating art and customs is lovely and should be shared anyway if you want to
@@RetroGeekCrafts I get confused with the dates but I've been seeing stuff about it this week! Aaw that means so much to me, thank you! I have a lot of anxiety like you've mentioned having so I think your videos are really inspiring. I think I will try to make one 😊
This is so sweet!! I have a few trans friends, and right now is such a difficult time (at least in the US) for trans people. I'm so so glad to see this lovely gesture of support!!
I've been watching your vids only a short time - I ended up here because I happened to find a particular MLP toy online from my childhood (which I lived as a girl), and even though I wouldn't buy it, I still got curious about it, so I googled it and... Here we are. Your videos got me hooked on seeing the restoration process, something I do with furniture myself these days, in small-scale. It's so satisfying! I'm a 33 year old, bearded, bald guy now, living my balanced little life as happily as I could've ever dreamed in my youth as a trans kid. How curious and heart-warming to see you putting out a video like this. Thank you. There are still not enough safe spaces for us, every single one counts. ❤️
I’m a trans guy who loves watching your videos to calm down before bed, so seeing this show up in my feed was such a lovely surprise! Very excited to watch this and be able come back to this video whenever I need a little pick me up. Thank you so much!
It doesn't matter if you're trans, gay, bi, non-binary, whatever. There's a place for everyone in this world. We all deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. We're all here for a reason, even if we don't know what that is. I wish everyone on here peace. And I would love to have a guy friend (or any friend) who likes ponies.
@@mrpickles-hb6zx i see where you’re coming from to some extent because of how people portray straight people, but when you look at the history of gay people you will understand why this comment doesn’t add straight. I love straight people I think they deserve love too, but it’s when it’s considered the norm to be straight and not get bullied for it, I feel like people do deserve that love, of all sexual orientation including straight people. I mostly have a neutral stand point
First of all, what an amazing and beautiful tribute to a community that sadly faces many hard times -both in the past and currently. Second, don't you DARE apologize for showcasing our number one boy, Bruno! ❤❤❤😻
24:34 I would love to see a shaved ice pony! Also a non-binary flag too, the color scheme of that flag is personally one of my favorites even though I don’t identify with it.
You picked a pretty good time to upload this pony, because November 20th is Transgender Day of Rememberance. As a nonbinary person who has loved MLP as long as I can remember, this custom brought happy tears to my eyes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this pony and for showing your support for us.
@@mrpickles-hb6zx Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to remember and honour the lives of trans people who were either killed or took their own lives.
As a nonbinary viewer of yours this was such a lovely project! Would love to see more in the future, there are some truly beautiful palettes in the lineup of flags. Also as a personal side note, my elderly black cat recently passed, so it was absolutely lovely seeing your beautiful Bruno. He really put a smile on my face
This made my day! I'm a long time subscriber and I'm a trans guy. Always happy when creators are willing to show they're allies, considering how unfortunately hostile things have been towards us. Absolutely beautiful custom! Loved the idea with the tape masking, it was really satisfying to see you peel off the tape and then fix it later. Would love to see more of this kind of cutie mark painting!
This might seem like such a simple thing in practice but this really does mean so much; You committed your own skills, time & energy to make a piece of art in support of a community, and I think that's absolutely wonderful!! My girlfriend is trans & I myself fall somewhere under the non-binary umbrella, so seeing such active support always means a ton
I love the peace I feel when I watch your video this has quickly become one of my favorite TH-cam channels I have loved seeing you grow and change I have been here since before you started doing a voice over
I know you said it wasn’t particularly timely but it actually is trans awareness week!!! Ty so much 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 Your ponies are always beautiful but I love this one an extra amount!!! LOVE the way you did the eyes.
This was sooo soothing, and she came out fantastically as well! As a transmasc individual in the hobby, sometimes I feel like people would look down on me if they knew I was into the vintage MLP toys and customizing. The one thing I love about the online customization community is that it's a safe space for all walks. Thank you, RetroGeek and Bruno! ♥♥
im so glad you made this video. Im nonbinary and im aware a lot of the g1 community is older and from a time when these things werent accepted. It seems like the modern day has also been strife with trans hate, so this is a refreshing video to see. Lovely pony, as always
The fact that you released this video with its wonderful message now is what makes this so amazingly special. Support is easy to find during Pride month, but it's hard to find during the holidays when many of us need it the most. Not everyone has supportive families, so seeing such a loving message in the darkest months means more than you may ever know. Thank you so much.
I love this! Its trans visibility week, so its perfect timing. I love your restoration videos so much. I have a small collection of vintage G1 ponies from when I was little. They're in a cute little carrying case. Your videos helped me figure out how to clean them properly. This pony is so beautiful and such a wonderful tribute to the trans community. ♥
This Trans Man has been a silent follower and aboustly loves watching your videos and so when i saw this my jaw dropped and after watching this video i wanted to say thank you so much for your love and support. It's different seeing just any old creator show support during pride month but to see someone who you've been watching for a while and that you can genuinely see and feel there love and passion through what they are doing, the kindness you have and just the fact that you show the human side of things with your mistakes and you turn them in masterpiece of video, to see you support us, me it means so incredibly much, especially as there has been a rise of trans hate and its nice to see a fresh breathe of air. Something so small of a gesture as this means so much to the people like me and it makes a difference and a feeling of belonging to just those extra few thousands that see this it means the world to us. Please keep doing what we are doing you have so much talent and respect, thank you.
absolutely gorgeous work, this video couldn't have come at a better time with people in power essentially trying to outlaw being trans. and i think this is probably one of the kindest comment sections i've ever seen ironically i'm seeing this earlyyy-early on thanksgiving morning so i also wanna take a minute to extend nothing but the best fortune and happiest of times to the entire trans community, no matter where on the spectrum you fall, and especially to folks who aren't trans but still actively support and do their part to help
The pony came out so gorgeous! I sent the video to my friends immediately, I may not be trans myself but I’m an ally ofc, I still love to see support for the community
I've been watching your videos for a few months now and it just makes me smile to know theres another creative and kind person out there who supports trans people like me! Thank you!
Amazing work 😍 As cis woman i thought the Bride Pony is just perfect, not only because of the beautiful Pose, but also at your wedding day you would want to be the happiest, prittiest version of yourself. And we only are this person, if we can be ourselfs whoever this is. I hope that was somewhat relatable, it sounded a lot better in my head 😂 Anyways: it doesn't matter who you are, what you sexuality you have or whatever. You're just as valuable and precious as anybody else. Love for everyone 💕
This warmed my heart to see, and this pony came out (ha) so beautiful! I love the makeup and the heterochromia was a fun touch. Also Thought Slime is one of my favorite channels so it was a really nice surprise to see you shouted them out in the description!
It's always a good day when a creator I like shows support like this. You never know these days who's supportive and who's secretly hateful, so it's nice to not have to wonder. Now I can relax and enjoy your videos without fear 💞
I LOVE THIS!!!! It always makes my day when I see a video from you upload and this makes my heart even happier!!!! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful restorations and creations with us 💕
most of the other comments are saying it, but it really is refreshing to see someone take the time to show support and celebrate our existence, especially during these times. its scary, but being reminded that we're not alone is extremely comforting. now, i'm gonna send this video to my girlfriend 'cause she loves mlp and she'll definitely appreciate a cute trans pony! also, i'd LOVE to see a shaved ice pony from you!
This pony makes me so happy. Thank you for your support of trans people, we appreciate it very much. There’s so much hate right now, it’s been very scary, but…. Well, people like you give me strength. From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Out of all the custom ponies by you that I have seen, this one is by far one of my most favorites. And as someone who identifies as all genders (pangender), it is absolutely THE BEST to see trans representation in places where you wouldn't expect it! I remember seeing a trans G1 custom pony artwork in one of your other videos, too. Outstanding work! 😎🥺🥹🥰☺️😁🤩 Keep on restoring and making customs! 🦄🏳️⚧️
That eyeshadow is so so so pretty!! I wouldn't have thought to use a chunky glitter, I probably would have used mica powder. It's always so interesting to see how different artists would tackle the same idea
As a trans woman, this video was just so heartwarming and endearing to watch. The love and care put into crafting this piece really shows, and the love and support you show for our community is so refreshing in these terrifying times. I also adore how warm and comforting the comments section for this video is 🥺🥰
As a trans man who loves ponies. Thank you so much for the wonderful positivity and creativity in your videos. I'll admit seeing this made me tear up a little.
I love the long legs on this pony, I think it helped make it a real good base for a transflag pony. It is very cute and the process was rather soothing to watch. I always love watching it end up cleaner and brighter
As a trans viewer whose watched your videos for comfort for a long time this makes me so happy. I've been saving this video for a special day and today was especially crappy and this brightened my mood. Thank you for releasing this "just because" and making such a beautiful pony for us!
okay but the fact this base pony is a "bride pony" means so much to me personally? I know it wasn't intentional but I was raised in a super religious environment where I was taught my entire childhood that I was going to be a wife and mother one day, and that was my entire purpose of being. Realising I was transmasc helped me break out of that and I'm so much happier now, so it makes me feel so emotional to see this old dirty tired bride pony transformed into a happy glowing trans pony. because like. That's me!
I've only been a casual watcher of your channel because I find your videos relaxing but I absolutely dropped everything to watch this as soon as I saw it. what a beautiful pony and what a joy to know you support the trans community so openly. much love from this nonbinary trans guy 🩵🩷🤍
this is very nice of you, and the pony turned out so beautiful 🥰 i thought the glitter pieces would be too large for this, but it really turned out very pretty! and trans flag palette is very MLP-esque and looks really neat on this pony! 🤍
I'm tearing up a little, I'm trans and I've been watching you for a while, its really touching that you would make a custom like this!! thank you and please never stop pursuing your art :3
This is such a gorgeous custom! I especially love the eyes. The trans colour scheme always reminds me of the pony Star Catcher. Lots of love from a transgender, long time fan of your channel ❤
As a trans viewer, this video was so wonderful. Made me get all emotional. Thank you so much for making this a safe space for us 🥹❤️ Also, the pony turned out absolutley beautiful!!! 🤩💖
i've been a huge my little pony enthusiast since i was 12, and also happen to be transgender, so this is right up my alley haha. lovely trans-formation (get it), and just an overall visually pleasing design even beyond the pride theming
adorable! i was in a really bad headspace last night before i watched this video. it really lifted my spirits and calmed me down so i could sleep. thank you 💖🏳️⚧️
This means so much! Today is actually my 1 year anniversary of starting testosterone! I love your work and have been watching for a few years now, so this was such a great surprise to see today ❤️❤️❤️
Do you plan on making other Pride ponies? It would be great to see a whole series of them : D This one turned out super cute. Every time I see you do a custom, I check Ebay for used ponies to try and make my own lol Maybe one day ; 3
I love my little pony. I am a trans guy, and grew up loving mlp. Though the main series I had was Friendship Is Magic, the older series were also very important to me. This makes me so happy. Thank you for this.
This is so sweet and cute!! I adore this so much, thank you for recognizing us in such a nice way. I think my favorite part about it is that it’s just for a normal upload, no Pride event or anything, just wanting to show support and love. Makes me very happy
omg !!!! i love these videos, i love doll/toy customs, and im trans 🥹it means so incredibly much to be able to explore interests and hobbies i've had since i was little & since before i came out, as my truer, happier self :) this custom is beautiful, and so is my community 💗. thank you for this !🥺🥺
i’m a trans person and i love this! your videos are always so relaxing to watch and i really appreciate the work you put into restoring these ponies. this is definitely one of my favorite ones you have done. much love!! 🏳️⚧️
Oh this was a delight to see when I opened youtube today :]! The trans flag makes such a beautiful pony palette. I’m a queer/nonbinary viewer who’s been subscribed for quite some time, and while all of your restoration work is very enjoyable, the customs are where you really shine! You always have such inspired ideas for unique details to add, like the gorgeous glittery eyeshadow on this pony ^-^! I grew up with a big collection of g3 ponies, so I’m quite fond of these toys, and I love how sweet and gently you treat them :]. Unfortunately I think most of my old ponies are lost to time and several moves, but there was one I kept separate from the others safe on a shelf in my room so I know I still have her, and that’s the lovely Starcatcher! The first toy, with the pretty shiny blue wings and sparkly hair. Ironically she makes a great trans pride pony as well :D
Okay but hear me out- a silly goofy video maybe for April fools where you "Customize" Bruno! You could film trimming his nails and brushing his coat and pretend to trim his fur or 'touch up' his 'paint'. That'd be adorable.
Their cutiemark is the trans flag in the shape of a heart. Their special talent isn’t “being trans”, it’s loving and respecting everyone, regardless of their identity 💕
Not only do I adore this custom, I love the many layers of positive messages it sends! Never fear, bride pony - with love and support, you can be your amazing self
Ohhh, adoro tu canal y ahora lo adoro aún más jajaja, son mamá de un pequeño niño trans, tenemos nuestra coleccion de ponys y definitivamente le encantaría algo así, infinitas gracias por todo el amor y el apoyo que has puesto en este video, la realidad de las personas transgenero sus familias no siempre es fácil, pero siempre están estos rayitos de luz que nos reconfortan el corazón, de nuevo gracias ❤

This warmed my heart to see, and this pony came out (ha) so beautiful! I love the makeup and the heterochromia was a fun touch.
Also Thought Slime is one of my favorite channels so it was a really nice surprise to see you shouted them out in the description!
For ace/aro, you could make it a black pony. There's nothing for us, so having the absence of light is apt lol
That would be super cool
Always upvote for a cat cameo in the video. Bruno is a handsome lil man. Thank you for the LBTGQIA+ love. We love you back. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
What a beautiful pony! I think the straight hair makes for a very elegant look along with the sculpt, this piece turned out lovely! 💙💖🤍💖💙
I almost cried at the end, the pony is so beautiful. Thank you so much for all the positivity you bring to the world!
It's always a good day when a creator I like shows support like this. You never know these days who's supportive and who's secretly hateful, so it's nice to not have to wonder. Now I can relax and enjoy your videos without fear 💞
I LOVE THIS!!!! It always makes my day when I see a video from you upload and this makes my heart even happier!!!! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful restorations and creations with us 💕
most of the other comments are saying it, but it really is refreshing to see someone take the time to show support and celebrate our existence, especially during these times. its scary, but being reminded that we're not alone is extremely comforting.
now, i'm gonna send this video to my girlfriend 'cause she loves mlp and she'll definitely appreciate a cute trans pony!
also, i'd LOVE to see a shaved ice pony from you!
This pony makes me so happy. Thank you for your support of trans people, we appreciate it very much. There’s so much hate right now, it’s been very scary, but…. Well, people like you give me strength.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Out of all the custom ponies by you that I have seen, this one is by far one of my most favorites. And as someone who identifies as all genders (pangender), it is absolutely THE BEST to see trans representation in places where you wouldn't expect it! I remember seeing a trans G1 custom pony artwork in one of your other videos, too. Outstanding work! 😎🥺🥹🥰☺️😁🤩
Keep on restoring and making customs! 🦄🏳️⚧️
That eyeshadow is so so so pretty!! I wouldn't have thought to use a chunky glitter, I probably would have used mica powder. It's always so interesting to see how different artists would tackle the same idea
As a trans woman, this video was just so heartwarming and endearing to watch. The love and care put into crafting this piece really shows, and the love and support you show for our community is so refreshing in these terrifying times. I also adore how warm and comforting the comments section for this video is 🥺🥰
This is so kind and lovely! I watch these videos to relax, because it brings me peace to see the ponies being treated so gently.
As a trans man who loves ponies. Thank you so much for the wonderful positivity and creativity in your videos. I'll admit seeing this made me tear up a little.
Nonbinary human from Canada here. Thank you, this video made me happy during a stressful time. Much love ❤
Could you do a disability pride pony one day please? That would make me happy
I will!! Thank you for the idea ☺️☺️
@@RetroGeekCraftsomgomgomg Aaaaa thank you that made me so happy that I giggled!!
the disability flag would be such an interesting color palette for a pony
I love the long legs on this pony, I think it helped make it a real good base for a transflag pony. It is very cute and the process was rather soothing to watch. I always love watching it end up cleaner and brighter
Trans viewer here! Just when I don't think you can get any cooler after the archaeology ponies, you make yet another banger. Thank you.
As a trans viewer whose watched your videos for comfort for a long time this makes me so happy. I've been saving this video for a special day and today was especially crappy and this brightened my mood. Thank you for releasing this "just because" and making such a beautiful pony for us!
not me getting emotional over being told a cat cares about me
also!! i absolutely love how you did the eyes!!!
loved this pony! i agree that body shape is really pretty. g3 star catcher has trans colors but i love this fully trans swag pony
I nearly cried when I saw this in my recommended. Thank you :)
Thank you for your support of our community 🙏 it means a lot! And beautiful work as always
HELL YES, thank you for standing up for our rights and freedom
okay but the fact this base pony is a "bride pony" means so much to me personally? I know it wasn't intentional but I was raised in a super religious environment where I was taught my entire childhood that I was going to be a wife and mother one day, and that was my entire purpose of being. Realising I was transmasc helped me break out of that and I'm so much happier now, so it makes me feel so emotional to see this old dirty tired bride pony transformed into a happy glowing trans pony. because like. That's me!
I've only been a casual watcher of your channel because I find your videos relaxing but I absolutely dropped everything to watch this as soon as I saw it. what a beautiful pony and what a joy to know you support the trans community so openly. much love from this nonbinary trans guy 🩵🩷🤍
Thank you so much for your lovely message 💗😊
Woah I didn't know shaved ice was the name of a product and I thought you were actually going to use shaved ice somehow XD
this is very nice of you, and the pony turned out so beautiful 🥰
i thought the glitter pieces would be too large for this, but it really turned out very pretty! and trans flag palette is very MLP-esque and looks really neat on this pony! 🤍
I'm tearing up a little, I'm trans and I've been watching you for a while, its really touching that you would make a custom like this!! thank you and please never stop pursuing your art :3
This is such a gorgeous custom! I especially love the eyes. The trans colour scheme always reminds me of the pony Star Catcher. Lots of love from a transgender, long time fan of your channel ❤
I’ve got this pony as I used it as a cake topper for my wedding. Other half had a gen1 grimlock. The original hair is beautiful and sparkly x
As a trans viewer, this video was so wonderful. Made me get all emotional. Thank you so much for making this a safe space for us 🥹❤️
Also, the pony turned out absolutley beautiful!!! 🤩💖
i've been a huge my little pony enthusiast since i was 12, and also happen to be transgender, so this is right up my alley haha. lovely trans-formation (get it), and just an overall visually pleasing design even beyond the pride theming
I'm just happy to be here, and that's a feeling to be grateful for, because it ain't always there. 🏳️⚧️
adorable! i was in a really bad headspace last night before i watched this video. it really lifted my spirits and calmed me down so i could sleep. thank you 💖🏳️⚧️
This means so much! Today is actually my 1 year anniversary of starting testosterone! I love your work and have been watching for a few years now, so this was such a great surprise to see today ❤️❤️❤️
Happy t-day!
Do you plan on making other Pride ponies? It would be great to see a whole series of them : D This one turned out super cute. Every time I see you do a custom, I check Ebay for used ponies to try and make my own lol Maybe one day ; 3
This is so cute and means a lot for LGBT people, like me, who watch your videos.
Thank you so much!
And remember, TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
🏳⚧
Yes, human rights are human rights. That doesn't need saying. It'd be nice if trans-identifying men had some respect for women's rights though.
@@username.not.known2473they do actually
I love my little pony. I am a trans guy, and grew up loving mlp. Though the main series I had was Friendship Is Magic, the older series were also very important to me. This makes me so happy. Thank you for this.
I’m a trans woman and seeing this pop up in my notifications got me so excited!
Adorable pony!!!
EDIT: the discord link doesn’t work
This is so sweet and cute!! I adore this so much, thank you for recognizing us in such a nice way. I think my favorite part about it is that it’s just for a normal upload, no Pride event or anything, just wanting to show support and love. Makes me very happy
They’re stunning! The sculpt choice was perfect, and it’s clear that you put a lot of love and care into this pony. ♥️
They are absolutely beautiful! I can see my wonderful trans friends in this pony. You did a wonderful job!
Nonbinary person here! Really felt my heart soothed by this video, thank you :-)
I love both of your channels, and being trans myself this video made me so happy ^-^ thank you, beautiful work!
I need to say that I REALLY enjoyed the music selection, it was gorgeous!!!!!!
omg !!!! i love these videos, i love doll/toy customs, and im trans 🥹it means so incredibly much to be able to explore interests and hobbies i've had since i was little & since before i came out, as my truer, happier self :) this custom is beautiful, and so is my community 💗. thank you for this !🥺🥺
love your starcatcher pfp !!!
she's BEAUTIFUL
i’m a trans person and i love this! your videos are always so relaxing to watch and i really appreciate the work you put into restoring these ponies. this is definitely one of my favorite ones you have done. much love!! 🏳️⚧️
Love the pony and the support for the community! People should be able to be who they truly are
Oh this was a delight to see when I opened youtube today :]! The trans flag makes such a beautiful pony palette. I’m a queer/nonbinary viewer who’s been subscribed for quite some time, and while all of your restoration work is very enjoyable, the customs are where you really shine! You always have such inspired ideas for unique details to add, like the gorgeous glittery eyeshadow on this pony ^-^!
I grew up with a big collection of g3 ponies, so I’m quite fond of these toys, and I love how sweet and gently you treat them :]. Unfortunately I think most of my old ponies are lost to time and several moves, but there was one I kept separate from the others safe on a shelf in my room so I know I still have her, and that’s the lovely Starcatcher! The first toy, with the pretty shiny blue wings and sparkly hair. Ironically she makes a great trans pride pony as well :D
Okay but hear me out- a silly goofy video maybe for April fools where you "Customize" Bruno! You could film trimming his nails and brushing his coat and pretend to trim his fur or 'touch up' his 'paint'. That'd be adorable.
Their cutiemark is the trans flag in the shape of a heart. Their special talent isn’t “being trans”, it’s loving and respecting everyone, regardless of their identity 💕
I love this pony! I had the original as a child but you made it so much better.
Sending much love to the trans community ❤
Hearing you talk about how you liked how the make up turned out made me so happy ;w; You do such great work!
This was such a sweet idea, the pony came out so lovely!! The themed nail polish was also a nice touch :D
this is really nice of you:) i'm a trans guy who loves your content so it made me feel happy to know you support my community
Not only do I adore this custom, I love the many layers of positive messages it sends!
Never fear, bride pony - with love and support, you can be your amazing self
Ohhh, adoro tu canal y ahora lo adoro aún más jajaja, son mamá de un pequeño niño trans, tenemos nuestra coleccion de ponys y definitivamente le encantaría algo así, infinitas gracias por todo el amor y el apoyo que has puesto en este video, la realidad de las personas transgenero sus familias no siempre es fácil, pero siempre están estos rayitos de luz que nos reconfortan el corazón, de nuevo gracias ❤
As one of many trans viewers, I was SO excited seeing the notif for this video, and WOW this baby is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the eye makeup so so much, you did an amazing job!!
