(Sorry for ranting/venting) This was hard for my dad to hear when my brother came out as trans (original female now they/them want to be referred to as my brother/sibling instead of sister) our dad was so unsupportive and is calling them by their dead name and sending rude text messages and letters, harassment from him was A LOT for my brother to deal with, less for me but it impacted everyone in our close family such as our 2younger half brothers (that live with our dad) because they don’t understand it fully, our mum who had to bring the police in to this mess because of the harassment, me because I know what’s going on and it’s weaken mine and my dads and half brothers relationship and it’s affected my (older) brother the most having to deal with all this harassment, it caused them to get depression, it’s so sad and I just want to see them happy :( I wish all people had the same mindset as the dad who wrote the poem :

Me too, I don't know who my kids are going to be, what they'll want to be called. But I hope that if this happens they'll just know we'll always bend over backwards to support them.
So I'm non binary and pansexual, and my dad died when i was very young (way too young to ever come out to him). Few years after that my mom remarried and her new husband made our family part of the relatively close and very conservative and homophobic community he grew up in, so i never felt safe or comfortable living as who i am. Last week three things happened: i became 18, and i discovered this channel who really pressed all the right buttons (especially this video), and i got the courage to go to my father's grave to come out to him and to swear to him that I'll live as me from now on.

As a parent of someone who is trans, this poem really touched me. When my daughter came out to me, she said, “I’m not worried about telling you Dad, as I know that you are fine with it.” It is one of my proudest moments as a parent, knowing that my daughter was not nervous about coming out to me.

As a trans male I actually kinda cried, my mom is highly against me being a male, but my father is the one that is super proud of me and is actually going around and calling me my new name. Thank you a lot for this
My dad is like this, I'm so grateful for him.. He chose me and my family and he chose to stay and I'm so glad he's in my life and supports me more than anything..

you just healed my parental trauma, thank you. my family never knew that i was queer, they never knew i was nonbinary - most of them had passed by then, but even if they hadn't i could never have said anything. in a very real way, i feel freedom to be truly myself. so thank you for reminding me & everybody that good parents do exist. 💗
@@duocred1535a REAL dad doesn’t define what his kid is and forces his beliefs down their throat and willing to disown them for how they truly feel about their gender
i usually don't cry especially for videos on the internet. i'm not even trans... but hearing the parent say "i'll also be proud of you"... i just 😭😭😭😭 when i come out to my parents i can only hope for it to be half as good as this 😭😭😭
I'm not Trans, but I am a Bi Female. I remember how hard it was coming out to my dad about being Bi, how he raised his voice at me, and I assumed he hated me. But we sat down, had a talk, he was never angry, just taken back a little. He asked me stuff like "Is this really how you feel?" or "Are you sure you like girls and boys, just because YOU like them?" he just wanted to be sure this was all coming from me, and how I truly felt, that I didn't say it to want to fit in, he was geuninely curious and willing to try and understand, and ready to help if I was confused. I'm so grateful for the support from my dad and the rest of my family, and my heart goes out to those who unfortunately don't get the love or support I did.
This was literally me when i came out to my mom as non-binary, and one day, my dad called me downstairs, and he asked me if it's true that I'm non-binary, and i thought he wouldn't approve, but he looked at me in the eyes, and said: "I don't care what gender you are, what sexuality you are, i just care that you're happy with yourself". I walked back into my room, and cried happy tears the whole night. My parents are the best!
whats wrong in being a human being? all religons teach the same, be kind to eachother and you'll be happy. we all should be a little more kind to people and animals and even plants around us, world is such a cruel place, and everyone wants to live their life happily, because it's so very short CoreczkaDoge
CoreczkaDoge love IS this “woke bullshit” love isn’t shoving your religion and sexuality down your child’s throat. Love is accepting them for who they are, apologizing when you do something wrong, and not procreating when you have this sort of fucking idiotic mindset that you do. No child, cis, straight, gay, or trans deserves the type of parent that you would be with that mindset of yours.
Exactly, this is what I will tell my Kids, it doesn't matter who you choose to bed, it doesn't matter how you identify, the fact remains I will always be your Father and you will always have my unconditional love and support!😁
@@Marshcantdrawbgs yeah, it’s okay to forget, it’s when I’ve told someone a kerjillion times and I wear a pin and they don’t even try that I get kinda upset, I just try not to think about it though, weird though cuz I don’t look like a girl
This feels like something my mom would send me to performatively proclaim her love and support before sending me something from like Matt Walsh so that I can try to understand "how hard this is for her." Im so happy I dont talk to her anymore.
It might not be mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, but I am proud of you. You are your own unique person and are defined by so many wonderful qualities. Your gender and sexuality is only a small part of who you are but even those are wonderful and make you, you! I hope one day everyone around you can appreciate you for who you are, and everything about it
I'm transmasc, and my mom is transphobic without even realizing or admitting to it. Not out to my dad and never will be -- he's dead to me anyways from how toxic and abusive he was even without me hatching from the egg basket. This poem brought actual tears to my eyes, and it's usually pretty hard to get me to cry but I've been having a pretty rough time lately. I almost wish that the 2D chameleon could adopt me rn
I have a teacher and she has a wife and a child and once she said to her child "i dont care who you take home or what gender you are, i will always love you" snd hearing that story made me realize that there is some hope in humanity.

I'm literally crying so hard. I Wish my parents understood that just saying I'm a trans guy is hard enough; and it puts me on the spot when they ask me why. I should'nt need a reason to be me.
You're right, you don't need a reason. They just need a broader view. You're amazing and the world is lucky to have you in it. I hope you find your group that makes you feel welcome, safe, and loved unconditionally. And, while it might not mean much, I for one am proud of you. You are so much stronger than you may realize, and I know you can make it through everything this world will throw at you.
well, not to ruin any moments, or to be matter of fact (and you are of course valid) i know I would like to know why my child has felt the overwhelming need to admit such a life-altering thing. id be confused and worried, maybe i did something wrong (not that being trans is wrong, but it can be a developmental/childhood thing). I'd ultimately accept them, but I would ask questions. From the way you talked abt it, it sounds like your parents weren't asking the right questions, and weren't accepting of you, and for that im sorry, but idk. just putting my two cents in i suppose.
I’m crying, my dad is homophobic and my mom doesn’t understand trans and nonbinary but she’s bi and my brother is trans and I’m nonbinary but neither of my parents will understand/support me
I don’t get why so many people hate trans people so much, like imagine your wearing a shirt that doesn’t feel comfortable to you, but people want you to wear that shirt everyday because you look good in them…but the fact remains, let people be people Edit: I know the video is talking about supporting trans but I wanted to point out how many people do not accept trans people, as someone who is not trans I support you guys and girls
People always need something to hate, Its been like that since society began. People used to be hated for being left handed the same way we are being hated now. Its seems we've regressed in this regard. im genuinely scared to go outside sometimes. I saw a car with a sticker that said "shoot your local pedophile" with an image of someone kneeling with a gun to their head. It wouldn't be so scary if the "pedophiles" They're talking about are what they perceive lgbtq members as. Im sure it'll only get worse. This isnt just hateful anymore. its downright evil
I wish I could say this was my experience. When I came out to my family, it started with my grandmother who told me it was wrong, but that I should tell everyone in my family. She had me call my grandpa who is very homophobic. She warned me of this before I even called him. I told him before he just went quiet and hung up a few seconds later. Then I called my stepmom who was taken aback. She had always wanted a son. She eventually just said that I needed to tell my dad. And started filling my head with fantasies. She told me my stepsister would love to dress me up in girly clothing. Little does she know, she was right. The only person who ever really helped me in my family with my transgender identity was my step sister, though she is without a doubt undocumented bipolar and would also fight with me constantly and try to hurt me by flaunting that I was trans in negative ways. I did try to call my dad that day as well. The day which I told my family, that is. My grandma and I had been stuck in layover at an airport for thirty-six hours, and I tried calling my dad twice. He didn’t pick up either time. Apparently he was on the phone with my stepmom, who was telling him I had something super important to say and not to freak out on me. I ended up just sending him a message that I was coming out. He called twenty minutes after asking how we were doing, and saying that he “missed my call.” I said something along the lines of “It was just what I was trying to say in the message,” to which he very coldly responded, “I don’t want to talk about that.” That broke me, but it gave me hope that it would get better. It didn’t though. I got home from the airport back to my dad from my stepmom (who was living in Spain at the time while my dad and I were living in California). When I got back, my dad just bullied the actual hell out of me. I think it was his way of dealing with the pain of losing his son. After a week I said I had changed my mind, saying I was going to stay a guy, just because of how bad the bullying got. Months later, my dad had a friend stay with us for a month, and one night I overheard them talking about me. I had my eyes closed, and had been trying to sleep for an hour or so by this point when my dad started talking about how I had come out to him. He said something about how I had changed my mind, but then him and his buddy agreed, maybe I was just “lying to avoid ridicule.” I was fourteen then. I had felt that way since as long back as I could remember, which was the age of four. I always wanted to be a girl. Moreover I had always been around women. Raised by a mother, and only had sisters. I was the oldest sibling, and there were very little men in my life the ones that were, were druggies who barely spoke to me or did anything besides being my grandfather on both sides. Two years later, my family had moved to Georgia. My stepmom and dad weren’t together, they had been fighting, and my dad met another woman on a dating app. We went over to her house a lot. She had kids my age, including two daughters, both of which were very attractive. Unfortunately, I’m into guys though. This is important because my dad was driving home one day from the woman’s house with me. He asked if I thought the daughters were pretty and I said yes. He asked if I’d date one and I said no. He asked why and I straight up was tired of hiding it. I had recently gotten my first boyfriend over the internet and wanted to come out. The only person who knew at the time was that boyfriend. And it hurt that I couldn’t be happy. Here my dad told me he’d never support or understand it, but that he’d love me. Fast forward to today. I turned eighteen last October. Today, not a single person in my family recognizes me as a woman, instead, they call me gay. Do you know how disheartening that is? I shed this massive secret I’ve kept for my entire life and they don’t even have respect enough to identify what I am correctly. My dad makes gay jokes constantly that don’t even make sense, saying I’m going to be penetrating another guy or something, and my stepmom who is now back with my dad, (sometimes), knows that I want to be a woman, yet questions me when I wear women’s clothing or makeup. I’ve been avoiding mirrors for months now because I threw up last time I took a good look at myself. It’s so bad, I mistakingly call myself gay sometimes. I am happy for anyone who has ever had something like this video happen for them. I genuinely was hoping like a fairytale I would get a similar result when I came out the first time but it just wasn’t meant to be. Stay strong friends. Much love.
They don’t know that tf they’re talking about. I hope you’re doing better. Sadly I am making myself wait a few years to come out or until I get a sign from one of my parents that they’re ok with lesbians or and lgbtq+ individuals
It’s crazy cuz I’m a cisgender male and my dad genuinely doesn’t care about me but that “ I’ll always be proud of you” got to me wonderful poem #transrights
My dad is transphobic and as much as i want to come out to him i can't, he'd take my things away and tell me to be normal- so I guess for as long as hes around I'm his little 'princess'.
"I'll always be proud of you" that made me tear up and remember that my father said that he'd k*ll himself if I was trans it hurts especially since it feels like he raised me as a son instead of a daughter but he'd never except me as a son. it brings me just a bit of hope or at least some happiness knowing that other people's dad's do accept them and will support them I just hope one day my father will do the same.
Love is love, God doesn't hate anyone. Let the true God judge those with hate in their hearts for those who express romance/sexual attraction for the same, either, or neither. Never let some self-proclaimed Christian tell you who to love.
Sadly, many Christians love to quote the most judgemental lines from the Bible and forget this warning from Jesus: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
@@NoxAtlasFr, they are doing Gods job and think they are so high and mighty for spreading those simple lines from the Bible and saying “I’m better than you because I hold this information that helps my opinion and I have the right to bring you down”
"as hard as it was for me to hear, i know it was so much harder for you to say. But son or daughter, she, he or they, know this fact is true. until that final breath i take, *i'll always be proud of you* " That hit hard. That hit so so hard. Even though its not from my own parent, and i know it will never be, it still meant so much for me to hear.
I wish I had parents like that. Mine refuse to respect me, and say that I’m doing it for attention. I cannot tell one how many times I’ve almost committed suicide by my parents alone. This is your reminder to be kind and respect people
I am neither trans nor queer, but as someone with daddy issues this made me tear up. And to everyone out there, you are perfect the way you are❤ No matter your gender, sexuality, gender, culture, race, religion. As long as you dont hurt someone without a reason and dont feel bad you deserve everything❤
Both my parents are transphobic, so I can never come out to them as nonbinary. I'm an adult now so I don't need their validation, but it still hurts whenever I hear them shit talk any lgbtq person, because it reminds me of how they'll treat me if they knew.
Same. What helps me get through my parents’ queerphobia is writing a letter to put on their graves/caskets. I’m telling my dad who I am and what I think of him when he can’t put me in “”””therapy””””
my dad is homophobic. i was 7 when i realized i didn’t like the boys as much as girls. i told my dad i like boys and girls, he beat me with words (and physically) and locked me in my room until i changed my mind. haven’t seen him in 4 1/2 years and i’m excited to see his face when he sees me and finds out i’m pansexual and non-binary, and a they/them
From the parts of “As hard as it was for me to hear I know it was so much harder for you to say” and “I’ll *Always* be proud of you” made me cry so hard that I think any harder my mum would’ve come in to see if I was alright
Vent kinda? Sadly my dad isn’t supportive of nonbinary or trans people and I can’t change that so Instead of they/them pronouns (I haven’t told him that I’m nonbinary) I let him call me by she/her pronouns and its not comfortable..
i support you! and that situation is terrible, your dad should be accepting of his own kid's identity. its just who you are, and nobody's judgemental ideas in their head are EVER going to invalidate that. they're the ones with the problem, not you, you're just trying to live your life as the real you. hang in there, you deserve basic respect just as everyone else does. if he cant give you that respect, i hope you have other people who can!
i know it hurts, but at the end of the day, at least *you* know who *you* are and you’re comfortable in your own skin (or at least a lot more than you may have been) and that’s all that really matters. maybe he’ll come to his senses and realize you deserve that unconditional love, or maybe he won’t, and that’ll hurt, but you’ll find people who support you regardless. things may be tough but you’ll be equipped with the necessary tools to handle each unique situation, and embracing those who do already support you will make that just a little bit easier. hang in there and give em hell, kid 💕
I'm nonbinary (22) and have never even bothered to tell my dad (49), because I've heard him read the news... and he gets absolutely livid whenever trans or nonbinary is mentioned. He says he doesn't care if someone is gay/lesbian/bi as long as they don't bring it up (which is obviously not the same as being accepting, but he disagrees), but if anyone identifies as any gender other than what they were assigned at birth... well, he calls us the R word. I'm moving out in a month or two- over 1,000 miles away- and I haven't told him that either. I'm just so ready to get out of here. It's not even just that he uses she/her pronouns; he calls me "Daughter" all the time, and it's physically painful.
It won't let me like for some reason, so fine. I'll comment. If you're reading this, if you're trans Keep living. You're just as deserving of happiness and just as valid a life as anyone.
I am Non-Binary/Trans[Tho only rlly Trans to ppl in person] and my Mom is rlly accepting of it, just forgetful cuz of brain damage but thats fine, but my aunt always says 'Oh, its just a phase, they don't even know what trans means!' And it sucks.
“As hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say” is so emotionally raw but has so much understanding and is so empathetic that I teared up. I have a few trans/enby friends, and while some of their parents didn’t understand and couldn’t accept it, there were others that helped embraced who their child was. So sweet, so incredibly moving. Thanks for making this poem
I needed this. my dad supports me, but is adamant about deadnaming me even when I correct him. he still calls me his little girl, and when I correct him, he denies it
i wouldn't really call that supportive.. my dad was the same way. at least he didn't scream at me when he found out all of my friends call me my correct name, unlike my mom😅
Moral of the story is not to people who are like that kid. But more people too are aren't like that. Dad, you have to be proud of the child. No matter what no matter their career choice, no matter what they identify as.😊
It's been a thing in my family that in my parents' phone contacts, my big sister is given the title of Goddess, and I've had Princess. After I came out, they changed their title for me to Prince, and that meant the world to me.
as someone who is genderfluid this hit me like a truck especially the line of “as hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say”. my parents will never understand me so i don’t think i will ever tell them my real gender identity and pronouns. i started bawling and this hits deep
That’s horrible but just remember there are still people out there for you that will always love you it may be hard to find them but trust me if you work hard enough you can find them. I just want you to know you matter and never won’t
I just started bawling at almost 3 am, I wish more people, more parents were like this. I’m intersex, had it hidden from me as long as possible (a long story) because my parents thought it would make it magically go away, make me the gender they wanted- I’m also definitely not straight. That right there alone should tell you how unsupportive they are, that’s just a smidgen of it. I both almost painfully envy and am so very happy for people who have good parents that actually love their children even if they don’t fully understand.
Rewrote it for ya’ll who wanna come out with this: Like many dads before you You dreamt about the day You’d walk me down the aisle And give my hand away. But here I stand before you Tears up in my eye. Don’t call me princess,dad. It all just feels like lies. So then if princess doesn’t work for me, there must be something I’d prefer As a matter of fact, it’s they instead of her. If I can go one further, dad And you might not like this one. I’ve never been your daughter I’m actually your son.
“as hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say” is such a deep line with so much meaning. I wish more people could have this mindset

He asked me stuff like "Is this really how you feel?" or "Are you sure you like girls and boys, just because YOU like them?" he just wanted to be sure this was all coming from me, and how I truly felt, that I didn't say it to want to fit in, he was geuninely curious and willing to try and understand, and ready to help if I was confused. I'm so grateful for the support from my dad and the rest of my family, and my heart goes out to those who unfortunately don't get the love or support I did.
This was literally me when i came out to my mom as non-binary, and one day, my dad called me downstairs, and he asked me if it's true that I'm non-binary, and i thought he wouldn't approve, but he looked at me in the eyes, and said: "I don't care what gender you are, what sexuality you are, i just care that you're happy with yourself". I walked back into my room, and cried happy tears the whole night.
My parents are the best!
AAA THATS SO AMAZING
That is amazing also you are very lucky to have supportive parents
AWESOME!! be thankful with your parents pls
I’d like to think that’s how my Dad would have reacted if he was still alive when I came out. I had to cut my mom out of my life though.
lucky... my dad approves of me being trans but my mom... would kick me out
I didnt know cartoons could be more supportive than my own parents 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@@mediocre_childdd you did
We all need parents like this
We don't need more delusional people.
@@Daniela-xy8wj delusional? Yeah right. Funny joke bro, it's REALITY. 😅
whats wrong in being a human being? all religons teach the same, be kind to eachother and you'll be happy.
we all should be a little more kind to people and animals and even plants around us, world is such a cruel place, and everyone wants to live their life happily, because it's so very short CoreczkaDoge
CoreczkaDoge love IS this “woke bullshit” love isn’t shoving your religion and sexuality down your child’s throat. Love is accepting them for who they are, apologizing when you do something wrong, and not procreating when you have this sort of fucking idiotic mindset that you do. No child, cis, straight, gay, or trans deserves the type of parent that you would be with that mindset of yours.
CoreczkaDogeits not woke bullshit its decent human respect
Uhm..is anyone else teary eyed after seeing this..?🥹
This made me cry because I’m a trans person and this is like me and my dad😢
"I'll always be proud of you" hits hard.. We need more supporting dads like this

You both are amazing. If you become parents, you'll be some of the best around. I wish there were more people like you guys around.
My dad is like this, he forgets to call me he/him pronouns but it’s okay, because as long as he’s trying it’s all I ask.
Same when I came out as non-binary my dad didn't know what to call me because child has a younger connotation so now he lovingly calls me his spawn

Not out to my dad and never will be -- he's dead to me anyways from how toxic and abusive he was even without me hatching from the egg basket. This poem brought actual tears to my eyes, and it's usually pretty hard to get me to cry but I've been having a pretty rough time lately. I almost wish that the 2D chameleon could adopt me rn

I have a teacher and she has a wife and a child and once she said to her child "i dont care who you take home or what gender you are, i will always love you" snd hearing that story made me realize that there is some hope in humanity.

If your armor is too dull and gray, your image one of bravery

Thank you so much though I see my self as a knight fighting for what I love and fighting for my life in a way :)
I'm literally crying so hard. I Wish my parents understood that just saying I'm a trans guy is hard enough; and it puts me on the spot when they ask me why. I should'nt need a reason to be me.
You're right, you don't need a reason. They just need a broader view. You're amazing and the world is lucky to have you in it. I hope you find your group that makes you feel welcome, safe, and loved unconditionally. And, while it might not mean much, I for one am proud of you. You are so much stronger than you may realize, and I know you can make it through everything this world will throw at you.
well, not to ruin any moments, or to be matter of fact (and you are of course valid) i know I would like to know why my child has felt the overwhelming need to admit such a life-altering thing. id be confused and worried, maybe i did something wrong (not that being trans is wrong, but it can be a developmental/childhood thing). I'd ultimately accept them, but I would ask questions. From the way you talked abt it, it sounds like your parents weren't asking the right questions, and weren't accepting of you, and for that im sorry, but idk. just putting my two cents in i suppose.
Damn this is deeper than the Mariana Trench
Me tearing up listening to this 😭 it's sweet that the dad is so understanding
This poem had me tearing up, It’s making my inner child sob because I wish I had a father like this

I don’t get why so many people hate trans people so much, like imagine your wearing a shirt that doesn’t feel comfortable to you, but people want you to wear that shirt everyday because you look good in them…but the fact remains, let people be people
Edit: I know the video is talking about supporting trans but I wanted to point out how many people do not accept trans people, as someone who is not trans I support you guys and girls
People always need something to hate, Its been like that since society began.
People used to be hated for being left handed the same way we are being hated now.
Its seems we've regressed in this regard.
im genuinely scared to go outside sometimes.
I saw a car with a sticker that said "shoot your local pedophile" with an image of someone kneeling with a gun to their head.
It wouldn't be so scary if the "pedophiles"
They're talking about are what they perceive lgbtq members as.
Im sure it'll only get worse. This isnt just hateful anymore. its downright evil
The support is mutual 🫶
you put "edit:" in the comment but it isn't edited
We love our guys gals and non binary pals ❤
The main reason comes purely down to politics, and nothing else. They always need a target, and currently trans people are taking the brunt of it.
I’m not crying I’m just cosplaying as a water fountain 😭
I wish I could say this was my experience.
When I came out to my family, it started with my grandmother who told me it was wrong, but that I should tell everyone in my family.
She had me call my grandpa who is very homophobic. She warned me of this before I even called him. I told him before he just went quiet and hung up a few seconds later.
Then I called my stepmom who was taken aback. She had always wanted a son. She eventually just said that I needed to tell my dad. And started filling my head with fantasies. She told me my stepsister would love to dress me up in girly clothing.
Little does she know, she was right. The only person who ever really helped me in my family with my transgender identity was my step sister, though she is without a doubt undocumented bipolar and would also fight with me constantly and try to hurt me by flaunting that I was trans in negative ways.
I did try to call my dad that day as well. The day which I told my family, that is. My grandma and I had been stuck in layover at an airport for thirty-six hours, and I tried calling my dad twice. He didn’t pick up either time. Apparently he was on the phone with my stepmom, who was telling him I had something super important to say and not to freak out on me. I ended up just sending him a message that I was coming out. He called twenty minutes after asking how we were doing, and saying that he “missed my call.” I said something along the lines of “It was just what I was trying to say in the message,” to which he very coldly responded, “I don’t want to talk about that.”
That broke me, but it gave me hope that it would get better. It didn’t though. I got home from the airport back to my dad from my stepmom (who was living in Spain at the time while my dad and I were living in California). When I got back, my dad just bullied the actual hell out of me. I think it was his way of dealing with the pain of losing his son. After a week I said I had changed my mind, saying I was going to stay a guy, just because of how bad the bullying got.
Months later, my dad had a friend stay with us for a month, and one night I overheard them talking about me. I had my eyes closed, and had been trying to sleep for an hour or so by this point when my dad started talking about how I had come out to him. He said something about how I had changed my mind, but then him and his buddy agreed, maybe I was just “lying to avoid ridicule.”
I was fourteen then. I had felt that way since as long back as I could remember, which was the age of four. I always wanted to be a girl. Moreover I had always been around women. Raised by a mother, and only had sisters. I was the oldest sibling, and there were very little men in my life the ones that were, were druggies who barely spoke to me or did anything besides being my grandfather on both sides.
Two years later, my family had moved to Georgia. My stepmom and dad weren’t together, they had been fighting, and my dad met another woman on a dating app. We went over to her house a lot. She had kids my age, including two daughters, both of which were very attractive. Unfortunately, I’m into guys though. This is important because my dad was driving home one day from the woman’s house with me. He asked if I thought the daughters were pretty and I said yes. He asked if I’d date one and I said no. He asked why and I straight up was tired of hiding it. I had recently gotten my first boyfriend over the internet and wanted to come out. The only person who knew at the time was that boyfriend. And it hurt that I couldn’t be happy. Here my dad told me he’d never support or understand it, but that he’d love me.
Fast forward to today. I turned eighteen last October. Today, not a single person in my family recognizes me as a woman, instead, they call me gay. Do you know how disheartening that is? I shed this massive secret I’ve kept for my entire life and they don’t even have respect enough to identify what I am correctly. My dad makes gay jokes constantly that don’t even make sense, saying I’m going to be penetrating another guy or something, and my stepmom who is now back with my dad, (sometimes), knows that I want to be a woman, yet questions me when I wear women’s clothing or makeup. I’ve been avoiding mirrors for months now because I threw up last time I took a good look at myself. It’s so bad, I mistakingly call myself gay sometimes.
I am happy for anyone who has ever had something like this video happen for them. I genuinely was hoping like a fairytale I would get a similar result when I came out the first time but it just wasn’t meant to be.
Stay strong friends. Much love.
That sucks that you don't have a supportive family. But you are valid.
They don’t know that tf they’re talking about. I hope you’re doing better. Sadly I am making myself wait a few years to come out or until I get a sign from one of my parents that they’re ok with lesbians or and lgbtq+ individuals
It’s crazy cuz I’m a cisgender male and my dad genuinely doesn’t care about me but that “ I’ll always be proud of you” got to me wonderful poem #transrights
This one of the sweetest poems I’ve ever heard.❤
“I’ll always be proud of you, to my final day”
My father hated me because I am trans and i have a girlfriend, he no longer talks to me but my mother has been by my side :)
My dad is transphobic and as much as i want to come out to him i can't, he'd take my things away and tell me to be normal- so I guess for as long as hes around I'm his little 'princess'.
Dont worry my brother, your community is here to help ya if you need it
Cool dad❤
My dad is the same, he admitted me to an asylum because I came out to him and my mom. I feel for you, he may not support you but we will
@@VaffiVT wow- an asylum? That's super excessive. I'm sorry
@@iQnime1wtf
No matter how many times I hear this, I always cry.
I wish my dad was like that... I came out as lesbian and he yelled at me... Called me a disappointment... And threatened to kick me out...
"As hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say."
That's when I almost teared up :')
"I'll always be proud of you" that made me tear up and remember that my father said that he'd k*ll himself if I was trans it hurts especially since it feels like he raised me as a son instead of a daughter but he'd never except me as a son. it brings me just a bit of hope or at least some happiness knowing that other people's dad's do accept them and will support them I just hope one day my father will do the same.
My family is full of strong Christians, but before anything else, Jesus taught to love one another. I’m glad my parents carried on those teachings
So many Christians ignore that part, it frustrates me so much. That’s why I’m glad when I hear of people who don’t ignore it ♥️
@@huntingorgon44 I know what you mean jesus taught us to love EVERYONE because god is love. I'm glad my parents taught me that.
Love is love, God doesn't hate anyone.
Let the true God judge those with hate in their hearts for those who express romance/sexual attraction for the same, either, or neither.
Never let some self-proclaimed Christian tell you who to love.
Sadly, many Christians love to quote the most judgemental lines from the Bible and forget this warning from Jesus:
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
@@NoxAtlasFr, they are doing Gods job and think they are so high and mighty for spreading those simple lines from the Bible and saying “I’m better than you because I hold this information that helps my opinion and I have the right to bring you down”
this made me cry i wish everyones parents were as supportive as this 😭
"as hard as it was for me to hear, i know it was so much harder for you to say. But son or daughter, she, he or they, know this fact is true. until that final breath i take, *i'll always be proud of you* "
That hit hard.
That hit so so hard. Even though its not from my own parent, and i know it will never be, it still meant so much for me to hear.
I wish I had parents like that. Mine refuse to respect me, and say that I’m doing it for attention. I cannot tell one how many times I’ve almost committed suicide by my parents alone. This is your reminder to be kind and respect people
I’m so sorry for that, I hope you feel better very soon. We support you! 🧡
@@TheSillyFoX06 Thank you :3
Stranger on the internet support.
I am neither trans nor queer, but as someone with daddy issues this made me tear up.
And to everyone out there, you are perfect the way you are❤
No matter your gender, sexuality, gender, culture, race, religion. As long as you dont hurt someone without a reason and dont feel bad you deserve everything❤
Both my parents are transphobic, so I can never come out to them as nonbinary. I'm an adult now so I don't need their validation, but it still hurts whenever I hear them shit talk any lgbtq person, because it reminds me of how they'll treat me if they knew.
Same. What helps me get through my parents’ queerphobia is writing a letter to put on their graves/caskets. I’m telling my dad who I am and what I think of him when he can’t put me in “”””therapy””””
I really wish i had parents like this but i have to suffer with being closeted till i can leave this house.
This made me cry.
Man… I wish I could hear my mom say that. She can’t even call me by my middle name for a time being before I can legally change my name.
my dad is homophobic. i was 7 when i realized i didn’t like the boys as much as girls. i told my dad i like boys and girls, he beat me with words (and physically) and locked me in my room until i changed my mind. haven’t seen him in 4 1/2 years and i’m excited to see his face when he sees me and finds out i’m pansexual and non-binary, and a they/them
It might not count for much, but a random middle-aged dude on the Internet is proud of you.

From the parts of “As hard as it was for me to hear I know it was so much harder for you to say” and “I’ll *Always* be proud of you” made me cry so hard that I think any harder my mum would’ve come in to see if I was alright
My dad told me if i became trans he'll disown me 💀💀
I'm sorry to hear that but if he can't love you no matter who you turn out to be, maybe he didn't love you in the first place.

Sadly my dad isn’t supportive of nonbinary or trans people and I can’t change that so Instead of they/them pronouns (I haven’t told him that I’m nonbinary) I let him call me by she/her pronouns and its not comfortable..
i support you! and that situation is terrible, your dad should be accepting of his own kid's identity. its just who you are, and nobody's judgemental ideas in their head are EVER going to invalidate that. they're the ones with the problem, not you, you're just trying to live your life as the real you. hang in there, you deserve basic respect just as everyone else does. if he cant give you that respect, i hope you have other people who can!
@@Default_null Ty:)
i know it hurts, but at the end of the day, at least *you* know who *you* are and you’re comfortable in your own skin (or at least a lot more than you may have been) and that’s all that really matters. maybe he’ll come to his senses and realize you deserve that unconditional love, or maybe he won’t, and that’ll hurt, but you’ll find people who support you regardless. things may be tough but you’ll be equipped with the necessary tools to handle each unique situation, and embracing those who do already support you will make that just a little bit easier. hang in there and give em hell, kid 💕
I'm nonbinary (22) and have never even bothered to tell my dad (49), because I've heard him read the news... and he gets absolutely livid whenever trans or nonbinary is mentioned. He says he doesn't care if someone is gay/lesbian/bi as long as they don't bring it up (which is obviously not the same as being accepting, but he disagrees), but if anyone identifies as any gender other than what they were assigned at birth... well, he calls us the R word.
I'm moving out in a month or two- over 1,000 miles away- and I haven't told him that either. I'm just so ready to get out of here. It's not even just that he uses she/her pronouns; he calls me "Daughter" all the time, and it's physically painful.
I could cry, this is so sweet. We need more people like this. ❤
Not me actually crying as I write this, I’m not kidding I am actually shedding tears right now…
It won't let me like for some reason, so fine. I'll comment.
If you're reading this, if you're trans
Keep living. You're just as deserving of happiness and just as valid a life as anyone.
The same thing happend to me too :0
I’m not trans but my brother is and I’m sending your message to him thank you for being supportive
Thank you this means a lot to a lot more than just me but it means a lot to me
Thank you. Thank you so much. This means a lot to me and the trans community, this entire channel does.
I am Non-Binary/Trans[Tho only rlly Trans to ppl in person] and my Mom is rlly accepting of it, just forgetful cuz of brain damage but thats fine, but my aunt always says 'Oh, its just a phase, they don't even know what trans means!' And it sucks.
“As hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say” is so emotionally raw but has so much understanding and is so empathetic that I teared up.
I have a few trans/enby friends, and while some of their parents didn’t understand and couldn’t accept it, there were others that helped embraced who their child was.
So sweet, so incredibly moving. Thanks for making this poem
This is honestly something i think all kids want to hear their parents express; their joy and pride over their children.
I needed this. my dad supports me, but is adamant about deadnaming me even when I correct him. he still calls me his little girl, and when I correct him, he denies it
i wouldn't really call that supportive.. my dad was the same way. at least he didn't scream at me when he found out all of my friends call me my correct name, unlike my mom😅

i never thought a cartoon could be more supportive than my parents 😅😭
this broke me. I would never have a home again if my parents knew I'm trans. I want a dad like this.
Moral of the story is not to people who are like that kid. But more people too are aren't like that. Dad, you have to be proud of the child. No matter what no matter their career choice, no matter what they identify as.😊
I wish every parent was like this
CRYING???????
This warms my heart so much because it reminds me of my dad
I wish my mom was this understanding with I came out as pan she said “no you not you are just influenced by the other kids at school”
It's been a thing in my family that in my parents' phone contacts, my big sister is given the title of Goddess, and I've had Princess. After I came out, they changed their title for me to Prince, and that meant the world to me.
as someone who is genderfluid this hit me like a truck especially the line of “as hard as it was to hear, it was harder for you to say”. my parents will never understand me so i don’t think i will ever tell them my real gender identity and pronouns. i started bawling and this hits deep
Not me crying cause my mom kicked me out for being gay😭
That’s horrible but just remember there are still people out there for you that will always love you it may be hard to find them but trust me if you work hard enough you can find them. I just want you to know you matter and never won’t

I just started bawling at almost 3 am, I wish more people, more parents were like this.
I’m intersex, had it hidden from me as long as possible (a long story) because my parents thought it would make it magically go away, make me the gender they wanted- I’m also definitely not straight. That right there alone should tell you how unsupportive they are, that’s just a smidgen of it.
I both almost painfully envy and am so very happy for people who have good parents that actually love their children even if they don’t fully understand.
Well I wish you the best, even if it’s not much
Rewrote it for ya’ll who wanna come out with this:
Like many dads before you
You dreamt about the day
You’d walk me down the aisle
And give my hand away.
But here I stand before you
Tears up in my eye.
Don’t call me princess,dad.
It all just feels like lies.
So then if princess doesn’t work for me, there must be something I’d prefer
As a matter of fact, it’s they instead of her.
If I can go one further, dad
And you might not like this one.
I’ve never been your daughter
I’m actually your son.
I think “as a matter of fact there is” works a bit better
