Beautifully done! I love watching people's transition time lines ( and can't wait to do one myself) but you made it even better with your commentary. :)
I cried. This is the best timeline I've ever watched. Fully narrated for those who are misinformed or who have questions. My timeline is exactly the same except I have a daughter. I waited until I was 38 to begin my transition. Sorry to hear that you've lost people during your transition. It does help weed out the ones who will stand by you. My wife gives yours a thumbs up. For better or for worse. You look great! And you have a big happy smile! You go girl!
Thank you so much!! Your wife gets a great big thumbs up too! I'm always so happy to hear about loving couples who keep on being able to love each other through transition! ((Hugs!))
Brooke, thanks for this wonderful and positive transition video. So great to see you happy! I am too. I shared it with my Facebook friends and on my website for Transgender people. I had to let them see how happy one can be when they transition.
I'm so glad to hear that you're transition has led you to happiness too. Thanks so much for sharing the video, I'm glad it made a positive enough impact to do so!
The part where you say that certain events would make you happy but now you can be driving down the street and be happy... That made me smile :) I hope to get there one day and hope this time I don't chicken out about transition like the past 3 times :(
You look happy in the final photo. Pretty face, beautiful eyes, and a tremendous smile. Please continue to make videos. Good luck in your transition. :)
Great video I'm happy for you! I am also transgender. An epic journey of good and bad... It still amazes how closely the lives and challenges of trans people resemble each other. So many different backgrounds and cultures and yet we can to relate to one another so easily. Keep it up girl you look fabulous!!
Brooke, simply awesome! You are living the life of the loving woman that you love to be now. Hence, why you are now happy. Wish I could be there. Not for my wife and in our conservative community. Too many people are too confused. Keep loving being you, and sharing your story. With love, Jazzie
Thank you for sharing. Looking at you now, I would never have guessed about the difficulty journey you've been on. Sadly, 17 years ago, I lost a good friend, he was unable to accept himself has being Transgender, he committed suicide, and I miss him everyday. I think if he had been born later the help and understanding would have been there for him, it's a condition that wasn't as well known as it is now. So thank you for your video. Keep smiling. 😺
Hello Brooke, Im brie, born in 1972, and just 3 days ago saw the endocrinolygist for the first time, blood tests yesterday and bone density scan tommorrow, so yes your story has outlined mine in more ways then one, and with this in mind, im going to forward it to friends n family, as it is me. PS : i was a blonde baby boy, with girl feelings locked away for 41yrs. But i also have Klienfelters Syndrome XXY genes, your story was wonderful to watch and listen. Thankyou, Cheers Brie From Australia 😄
Kudos on the narration. Thanks for continuing what you saw since we are as inspired by you as you were by the videos of others. The point of view was so spot on and touching. You did not transition to a woman, you transformed your presentation to match your womanhood. You are refreshing, supportive and so real. Hugs and thanks, J
Brooke, Thank you for sharing your life experience with us. Being a 36 year old Transgender woman, I just started HRT over a month ago. I still have not come out to my family and majority of friends. I feel it's very difficult. The closet is deep! Inspirational videos like this only give me hope. If you don't have hope or something to live for, what do you have?
Coming out to people IS tough! You'll do it when you are ready and that's ok. What I found was that worrying over how people would react was actually much harder than dealing with their reactions. Some people had bad reactions, but knowing that and dealing with it was easier than all the worry. I hope you have the same or even better experience! You are making it girl and you get ALL my hugs!
Loved watching this.. I am so happy for you .. I am staying with my husband .."SHE" is transitioning as well .. We are about 2 1/2 week into Her HRT and so excited about everything. we are happier then ever.. thank you for sharing your story so that others may learn from it. :o)
Im so happy for you guys Missy!! I love to ear about couples who stay together and thrive because its not part of the usual narrative and people need to know its an option!
I'm so glad it came across that way. I started out with titles, but that didn't quite feel like enough of me getting put into it. I had hoped that hearing it in my voice would make it more real for people, thanks for confirming that!
hi brook your video was amazing im 33 scared nervous and excited im about to start hormones as I can no longer lie to myself. I have children as well and it brought a tear to my eye at how amazing it must be for your children to be so supportive. if you have any advise you could share with me I would really appreciate it.
My advice is to allow them to have whatever initial reaction they have without taking it hard. My son, and other people's kids I know, reacted with fear at first. My son put it well when he said, 'I know what its like to have fun with you now, but i cant imagine what it would be like if you looked different.' The kids I've known get over that initial hump quickly, especially when they see you. I have no experience with older kids, but thats been mine with the 12 and younger crowd. YMMV and best of luck dear!
That's really nice... I actually recently came out myself. I try to be true to myself... still, I have not yet been able to start any treatment yet. Still, I hope I'll soon get to start.
🌹hey Brooke, thankyou for your reply, I'm Brie, but when i first asked my question i used my other channel under B Browne, the old part of my life. It's awesome that you have replied to so many questions and followers, of which i am one of. I Brie Browne has started a new channel which Im currently uploading vlogs, ps abit shy at the moment 😳but i wanted to wish you well and offer a huge thanx. You video is my most Favourite in my list. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thankyou Brie oxox 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷
Brooke thanks for posting this your so beautiful I can't transition yet im only 15 but when I do I want to be just as beautiful and brave as you are:) your and amazing AWSOME women!!!:D
Matthew Setzer For me, I started out with therapy. Once I was ready for the next step, my therapist wrote me a letter that I took to a local endocrinologist, though some general practitioners are comfortable with prescribing and monitoring hormones.
ok I had Castle Greyskull, and Snake Mountain, and the slime pit! not bragging. .... yes I am. lol. hi I'm 37. on HRT for 4 months. so looking forward to having a smile like yours thats real. have a wonderful day. xoxo
Oh my god your really pretty! :) You definitely pass with flying colors he he :p I just have one question and I'm a little confused, how the heck did you grow your hair back so beautifully, you had some pretty advanced hair loss before transition, did maybe the blockers and estrogen grow it back, please let me know as I myself have hair loss :( Thank you for sharing girl! :)
Hey Ashley, thanks for the compliments! My hair has not grown back and from what I've read, some kinds of hair loss will revert and some won't. I actually struggled with hair when I was considering my transition because I felt like I wouldn't pass with the head of hair I had and didn't want to wear a hairpiece, but it's turned out just fine. There are very high quality hairpieces out there that look very natural, and I really don't even have to think about it anymore, it's just part of me. I started off with a cheap one to make all my mistakes with and when I transitioned I upgraded to a pretty pricey one. Besides, there are a lot of cis women out there that have to wear hairpieces for a variety of reasons, so I'm really no different, and you aren't either. ((Hugs!))
hi Brooke my name is Paul. have bin playing at being a man for the last 45 years just watch your you tube video.you have mad me look at my self and i think its time to change and be come Paula how i have all ways bin thank you for giving me the curega to do the thing i should have done 20 years a go ..thanks Paula
Brooke T Ditto here. Working on it. Hope you don't mind that I shared your video on my Facebook page. It went over well and really helped people understand what I am going through.
Brooke just wondering, did you do laser - hair removal before starting HRT OR after starting ?? Have you had any surgery, and what is in the pipeline ? You sound so much like my story, and i guess alot of other TG's. Here's a link - czcams.com/video/Y1vKT4JEcDc/video.html Which will come into play in the future, and if i could do it now i would. It's wierd - after watching this yesterday, i feel like i know you. Cheers Brie
I started before HRT and continued after. I dont really talk publicly about surgery. I consider the status of my junk pretty private. :) Im so glad you connected with my story!
i have secretly been a woman trapped in a mans body and this is great motivation to make my dreams come true. people like this give me hope that i can be accepted. can you message me and give me tips and tricks to accomplish my dream. thank you in advance, any help will be appreciated.

It's so touching that your wife and son stood by you! this video made me genuinely smile :)
What a beautiful story and beautifully told! Thank you for posting.
This is so well done, very inspirational to others including me! Narration, telling your story, is the best part. Love the pics, too!
Thank you!

OMG Brooke, that's so inspiring! I'm so happy your family is so accepting...and you look amazing BTW!
I am always amazed at the eyes and smiles before and after. Great video. Keep being you.
Great video I'm happy for you! I am also transgender. An epic journey of good and bad...

Dear Brooke, thank you for the video! I loved it!
Thanks and you are very welcome!
Thank you for this video - - very inspiring, and the narration really hit home :) Hopefully I can be true to myself soon
All my best to you and thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for educating me on a subject I knew little about. You seem like a truly, beautiful person.
Thanks even more for being open to learning!

Thanks so much Julia! I appreciate your words because thats exactly what I was hoping for!
thanks Brooke for the beautiful story, there really is hope out there.
Yes there is always hope, you just have to believe in it until you find it sometimes!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing and best wishes to you and your family.
Thanks Steve! I'm glad you liked it!
The narative, instead of music, made this very powerfull. Good for you Girl. Rock on!
