    If you're planning on being a parent, please be ready to be a parent of a trans child, a gay child, a child with a different religion, a child with mental health issues, a disabled child. If you aren't prepared for that, save yourself the grief of another life lost. It's okay if you aren't ready, but please be considerate of the child you are planning on having and know that they are a person too. Thank you.

    Genuinely made me cry. You can tell the mom cares, she just isn't educated about all of it, and it scares her to think that her baby might be going through something horrible mentally. She doesn't handle it the best way first, but at the end she grows. She hears the truth from Simon, realizes her mistake, and shows that she is going to try and accept her new son for who he is. She was right, he's not her Emilie anymore. But he's still her child.

    Whenever I point out something that I find cool, mom says it's for boys and then proceeds to show me a barbie hoodie, like WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT TO WEAR BOY STUFF, it's so much more comfortable, and I feel like myself in it

It’s going to be okay. if you feel ready to, what I did was I came out to my closest friends and I suddenly got so much more comfortable. thinking of being fully out to my school maybe soon.

    since this video is a trans film, here's some binding tips for my fellow trans babies out there wanting to bind!
    -make sure your binder is the right size. NOT TOO SMALL. if it is too small, it may compress too tight and can damage your ribs rlly bad.
    -dont wear it for more than 8-10 hours at the most. it can be very dangerous if worn for longer
    -DO NOT WEAR ONE WHILE SLEEPING. your breathing while sleeping is different from when you're awake, and it can possibly strangle you.
    -if you don't have a binder but are wanting to bind, DO NOT use bandages. it is EXTREMELY dangerous. instead, use two sports bras THAT FIT YOU and then put a big shirt on over top of them!
    stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️

      I see this comment pretty much on every video/film which shows this ... keep in mind this is not a how to, but often shown in the context of people exploring gender affirmation and not having access to all possibilities. I've had the chance to do this with someone I was dating (almost 15 years ago) together with a transmasc friend and it was amazing to see them glow up - being fully aware that this is a temporary step (for ~6 hours) and an attempt. Said person has come out as transmasc since then and has had his top surgery.

    I have a friend that is currently transitioning and saving up for surgery and I can’t say in words how proud and happy I am to see that he isn’t struggling with his self image anymore. I love him dearly, and to have that change from crying and hurting himself because he hated his body parts and how looking at himself made him feel to embracing his style and being so much more outgoing and actually feelings comfortable going outside with his friends has been a joy to witness.
    This Mini Movie is a really well done representation of anger within oneself, frustration from being ignored or “covered” for, finding acceptance, and overall freedom due to the outcome.

    when this video first came out, i was a young trans boy strggling with heavy dysphoria. 8 years later and it's been a long journey. Not everyone I care about felt the same way about me, and I lost friends, family, and faced a lot of hatred from the world. I am so much happier now, having been on T for years, getting surgeries scheduled, carrying myself through college, working with mentors and looking to keep fighting for my dreams. It can happen. Things may not be perfect, and things might not even get easier, but you can be happy, and finding value in yourself is certainly worth it :)

    Watched this 6 years ago. I’m 25 now and I know I’m not trans. Been thru this sort of turmoil and it was the shittiest time of my life, but in the end I figured out that I didn’t need anyone’s acceptance except my own. Tl;dr I came out as gay / tomboy. Good luck to everyone out there still questioning their identity. One day you’ll have your answer.

      Nope, we know very little about their overall relationship to say this is true. Yes, she was behaving like one in the part we saw, but that doesn't mean she's bad. Parents are human just as kids and just as kids need to come to term with their identity, so does their parents. Some people just know from their childhood they are straight, gay, cis, trans, ace etc. and they have no prob with that, some have to "find" themselves and come to terms with it, some will try to suppres themselves and to make themselves "normal". And the same is true about parents - some can accept their kid no matter what, some struggle but in the end they accept it, and some just throw their own kids overboard, 'cause they are not like they want them.

      Funny that this has to be said so much to ensure that these people don't have constant mental breakdowns. You'll notice none of these people are actually happy with who they are, and need frequent reassurance that they aren't the vile cretins that they think they are. Though one quick look in the mirror kills all of that Discord validation. There is quite truthfully, no such thing as a genuinely self-assured and confident transgender individual. The concept alone contradicts itself.

    I want to be a boy named Kyle.
    I dont want to be a girl, I want to be a boy, a he, a him. I dont know if thats un normal to you but it makes perfect sense to me.

    i know how hard it is coming out, i also have parents that are thinking that its just a phase. If you ever want to come out, take a moment that your parents are happy and relaxed. Also remember to be happy, stay hydrated and keep caring for yourself

      Ris3 Trippin how can you say that! One, he doesn’t looks ugly, two, it’s his choice who he wants to be.
