I didn't realise you were from Warsaw! It's lovely to see LGBTQ+ representation from Central Europe, I don't see that a lot. Greetings from Hungary. 👋🏻
Not from Warsaw - I’m originally from London in the uk, but I’ve been living in Poland in and off for about 10 years(?) I will make a video about how things are in Poland, but I’ll need some other voices in that one. I hope you’ll enjoy that when it gets released. How are things in Hungary? I hope you’re doing well 😀❤️
Andy, Doing harm? Come on! No way. It is OK if the videos are for you or anyone else. Stop worrying. The videos are extremely valuable. Believe me, I know because I watch enough of them on CZcams. 😁 You are making an impact on me. Your videos are so honest and intelligent. I do not know you so well, but you do not seem like a narcissist to me. I always say you know a narcissist when you see one. I thought of making videos. I am probably the least photogenic person in the world and I am a dismal failure at speaking. I have been working on my fem voice and it is improving as it slowly becomes my everyday voice. But, I have a long way to go to be ready to make a video with it. My writing skills are good though. I also like not having to work on looking fem with make up and clothes. Just let the HRT do its job, with the other myriad actions we take to feminize ourselves. Maybe I ask for too much in that regard. Long hair and keeping thin helps. I wear a small bracelet and earrings because I like them I notice you paint your nails. Looks like the HRT is starting to have its effect on you. I hope its not just the outdoors. By the way, did you read my last comment to your comment in your last video? ❤
Hi, Thank you for your always kind comments; knowing you're likely to comment on my video certainly gives me the motivation to keep making them! I think I've said before, I don't really see my self as narcissistic, but I'm wary of doing or saying something that can be misconstrued. I don't want to be taken out of context and add more ammunition to those who hate us. I don't see the alternative to the fear of what they might do as 'remain silent': if anything, we need to be loud and visible in the face of bullies. But even so; self-doubt remains. Yeah I love having my nails painted, and the HRT is definitely having an impact. So far it's been kind of subtle, but people are noticing and making comments... I even got called a 'lady' on Sunday by a stranger completley out of the blue. So, yeah, I feel things are happening. I don't see myself as a 'super femme' woman; honestly I think I'm girly enough. I want to get my ear pierced soon, and maybe I'll do some minimal make-up. I saw your comment; did you see my reply? Have a great rest of the week, Andy ❤️ 😊
@@Andy_trans_education Andy, my reply to your comment on my comment never got through from your video support for children. I reposted it. Take a look. Nutjobs will always misconstrue us. We have to ignore them. Anyone who wants a useful conversation will let you know in a civil way what they think of your videos. You then can respond civilly if you think they misconstrue you. Some people can just be so testy, so we have to keep our cool and respond reasonably. OMG - self-doubt. It is a sign of intelligence. Like my mother said, BE BRAVE! I got my ears pierced years ago. It is a great feeling. I rarely get called Ma'am. I get mostly sir or as they say in Serbian, Gospodin. As I said before, my height and broad shoulders seem to give me away. I do get some weird looks occasionally like people are trying to figure me out. I have some breast development, low B cup. I pretty much present masculine in public here in Serbia. If I wore a bra, which my therapist says I need, it might help. My hair transplant is next week and then I will have to wait six months to see the results. Can't wait. I have hope that will make me more passable. But, I am trying to keep my expectations sensible. As the transition moves forward for me, I have integrated my sense of self with my female expression. It is funny how we undo what was before and we come to something that seems so much more right. It comes out in the way we move, stand, walk, talk, etc. etc. It is marvelous! ❤
that's strange because I can see that comment under 'published' - ah! it might be because sometimes comments get buried: try changing the filter to 'new' or something. That's what I like about the process so far - there's often something new to notice or explore. There are things we can do to give ourselves some validation (I'm getting eyebrows re-done this weekend). This early into things though, I'm not expecting too much. You mentioned the need for 'patience' in one of our first conversations - this is definitely essential!
You are doing so much good by showing a nuanced and relatable picture of what it means to be human - and transgender. Lots of love from Denmark❤
Thanks so much ✌️😀❤️
