    Our professor assigned us an 'inspiration' project. We had the freedom to do whatever we wanted with it, so I thought it was a great opportunity to come out to my new class and tell them that I am a female to male transgender.

      Lauren Baker I can understand with just reading the postings on her after viewing the video, people no matter what will be negative to anyone who Transitions. I know because by me taking a stand for myself I don’t give a care what people think of me anymore. The one thing that stopped me from taking that leap was I was more worried what others thought of me then what I thought of me. Once I said enough is enough and took a stand for my body not anyone else, i started dressing full time. Is the grass going to be greener on the other side of making an educated decision,I can honestly say no, but sometimes in your life you have to be honest with yourself and make that change. I have absolutely no regrets and living my life the last two years plus as the true me. There is a couple books out there called True Selves, and KnowYour Why. Both excellent books to read and help you with your educated decision. Therapy is a great start as well, before this I was never involved in therapy. I have served this country for 12 years and the VA has a wonderful support group. By me speaking up here, likelihood someone or more people will jump on this and say things thinking I will change back to whom I was before, I will take it all under advisement and that will be that. At the end of the day no matter what I put my head to the pillow and still no regrets with my decision to live my life.

      He’s brave, but this person ain’t go no balls. No biological balls. I had balls. What do I mean by had? STORYTIME!! I was born a man but had the bottom operation without having to live as a woman. True. So now I can say I’m a grown man, with breasts and a vagina!! I also stopped feminizing hormones/drugs, because I’m worth it. Maybe it’s maybelline. It’s all true, so consider that.

      Indecisive N.E.E.T i'm gonna add a couple things to what you said. ShiroiOkami there is actually scientific proof that trans people have the brain structure of the opposite sex. So he would have a male brain even though he was born in a female body. If you search "asap science transgender" on youtube you can find a video that explains it with scientific facts to back it up.
      hope this helps and that everyone has a great day!

    I remember seeing this video 4 years ago as a 13-year old and being so shocked that there was someone else out there just like me because up to that point I had only ever seen negative things about transgender people and so I was in denial big time. This video gave me hope and courage and I was able to finally come out about 2 years ago.

      because coming out to strangers is actually easier. They have no expectations for you that you HAVE to meet. Because if they don't like you, you just decide not to form a connection. If they can't accept you for who you are, screw them. But if it's people you know, your family, your friends, classmates you've known for years....
      The connection is already there. You can't just ignore them, if they react badly. You have to either convince them to be more supportive and educate themselves... or you have to actively break your bond with them. And that's bound to hurt more than strangers being unwilling to talk to you.
      Coming out to people you love is the fear of loosing something that you have come to depend on. That you might need. Coming out to strangers is the fear of never getting it in the first place. It's still shit, but it's different and often easier to live with.

      @Dr Mobius II Are you done? What people do with their lifes is honestly none of your fucking business. If there is no harm done to anyone, shut the hell up?? Alot of trans people don't necessarely have bottom surgery because it implies alot of risks. Trans KNOW that they are BIOLOGICALLY male/female. The reason they are transitionning is because they suffer from gender dysphoria. If they want to live comfortably, transitionning is most of the time a great solution for people who suffers from that condition. You don't have to support/agree with the body modifications they do, but respect is the key here. Respect other people. That's it. Insulting people that do things you don't agree with will never make your point come across and that's a fact. If you had an onze of maturity, you would know how to discuss things.

      doodalia Okay first of all, This is a public comment. You can't say "Mind your own business" It Doesn't work that way. Second, if you teach kids that you are accepted no matter what you are, they're going to expect that all the time and won't know how to react when their rights are threatened. Lets say that somebody from another religion (that is against transgender rights) attempts to assault them. They cower and break down, allowing the aggressor to easily overpower them and injure them. And don't even get me started on how sex change operations are a waste of money, resources, and time.

      Maximoniom69 alright, listen up you little shit. You're saying being yourself and getting accepted for who you are is a bad thing? Someone being transgender isn't affecting your life. People get plastic surgery to feel better about their bodies and themselves but apparently gender reassignment surgery is a "waste of money". Well guess what fucktard, it's not a waste of money, it makes them feel good about themselves and that's all that should matter. If asked whether or not you wished for world peace you would probably say "yes" and then here you are, doing the complete opposite of trying to make that happen. I'm not saying this to try to change your shitty, corrupted mind. I'm saying this for all those transgender people who get shit like this everyday because your dumb ass can't accept the beautiful people in this world

    • @maximoniom6964
      @maximoniom6964 Před 6 lety +6

      Midori Tea First of all, Insulting people is not a proper way to debate, stop embarrasing yourself. Second, World peace is impossible. It is human nature to always have the urge to create some type of conflict. Third, gender reassignment surgery is a waste of money and resources. They do not need to go out of their way to spend thousands of dollars and waste resources just so that they can feel good about themselves. Besides it's not guaranteed to improve the their overall hapiness, the transgender suicide rate is 40%! Let that sink in for a minute, And before you say "Oh that is because you monsters bully these innocent kids!" Have you ever heard of a human emotion called 'regret'?

As you can see, the definition clearly states that gender is different than sex, sex being the biological identification.

      I have been giving informational lessons about the same subject (and in my case, this was about being transgender, though we had people along who were gay or bisexual as well) in high schools throughout my city.
      It really depended on the classes, some where ultrasilent (and not always in a good way), some obnoxiously loud and those in general had a very hard time focusing on the lesson they were having, and then you had all the sorts in between those two extremes.
      We had a round in which the students could answer certain statements by agreeing with them (showing a green card), being neutral about them (showing a yellow) or disagreeing with those (showing a pink card).
      This would usually tell something about our perception of the social security in the class we were dealing with: if the class had already been through some life-changing moments (a student getting killed in a house-fire or getting into a fatal car accident, for instance) and the ability to be able to talk about the horrible thing that had happened in that classroom had been there, we usually noticed this in the way students answered to the statements: they usually gave very mixed answers based on their own opinion, because there was a mutual sense of security none would get into trouble for speaking their mind.
      In classes where the social security was much lower or sometimes non-existent (and in which agreeing to a statement might prove to be controversial and result in trouble later that year), we usually noticed 2 or 3 "group leaders" that held up "the right answer" (while we stated there was no right or wrong from the beginning) at which the rest of the group followed.
      The last category of classes usually were the same kind in which telling our coming out story did not cause people to ask questions at all, afraid (and sometimes rightfully so) that their curiosity would be reprimanded with bullying afterwards.

      Your words are contradicting. A part of 'growing up' is taking into account how other people feel and react to things and coexisting with each other. It's not minimising someone's experience just for the satisfaction of doing so. I hope one day you'll learn and understand that other people feel differently then you. This is bravery, and not even being able to admit so is cowardice. So in other words the only one who really needs to grow up is you.

A normal person would just keep it for themselves. I feel like many ppl just try to be gay, vegan or hipster only becouse that's what's popular atm and they know they'll get a lot of attention. I think what I wanted to say is - be yourself, but don't, just please don't try to be anyone else just becouse it seems popular.

      Still taking it personally against me Lol dude, God is the one who said the homosexual will not enter into his Kingdom 1 Cor 6:9-11, God is the one who said he will cast the homosexual and those who support into the lake of fire Rev 21-8, Rom 1:32, in Lev 18:22 and 20:13 God uses harsh words about same-gender sex and that those who commit the act of same-gender sex shall be put to death...I'm not going against the word of God simply because you don't like it I don't have to "embrace" help, support, stand with you or for you in your "open" defiance of God's law forbidding the act of homosexuality and you can't force me to...I will take the word of God over your "opinion" 24/7 you are the ones calling God's word against same-gender sex hateful because it clearly condemns the act of homosexuality and wants to bully others into agreeing with you against God... I don't accept your disbelief, I don't accept same-gender sex as equal to MALE and FEMALE, I don't accept the lie of "God made me this way" I do not stand with you I stand aside from you, I separate myself from homosexuals which is what God said to do.
