My lil girl was supposed to sleep already, but she came back as I was watching your blog - she saw you and asked: "Is this a boy?". I had a big smile and said: "Yes, its a man.". Just wanted to share with you ;)
I'm so very glad things are going well for you, Sam. In the past few months my work has taken me to Kuwait and Qatar and, despite these countries being anti-LGBTQ, I have met people there (allies, LGBTQ people, and coworkers whom I came out to) who were very supportive. My coworkers (there and back home in the states) have often remarked how "brave" I am. I'm honored they say that of me but really it is not a issue of being brave -- it is an issue of being true to myself. I am so happy your path to being your true self is well underway and progressing smoothly. You have always been an inspiration to me, both as an member of our community and as a musician. Thank you for all you have done in both areas and thank you in advance for what I am sure will be an amazing, future contribution of your music. In closing, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your grandma. But, I am happy to know she lived a long and, I'm sure, rewarding life. And she was so lucky to have a grandchild like you. Rock on!

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sam. Funny you mention burning binders: I didn't burn mine (they're too expensive for that imo) but gave them to a trans refugee who wore them till he had top surgery. I feel I have to clarify they were in very good condition - I wouldn't have done so otherwise. I totally get the frustration of not being able to hit the gym, Sam. Try to be as patient as you can as it'll pay off later. Because of a post op infection I wasn't able to work out for longer than anticipated, and I ended up with one nipple graft less. I have a fake one tattooed now, but I'm saving to have that chest covered with a tattoo. Before I sign off: thanks for the palm trees!
Such a special vlog this is. On so many levels. Once again, so hapoy to see you strong and glowy. I am so sorry about your grandmother. I cannot imagine what a 99 year-old mind must think, see, feel. You always pick the most beautiful scenarios for your vlogs. It’s like you’re talking to us via FaceTime. :) I hope you have a brilliant week and looking forward to greet you “with open arms”, so to speak, in Europe. Ditto: “Love you, appreciate uou, hang loose Sam”.
Sam! I’ve been such a huge fan of yours since the 90’s. Your voice and writing has inspired me in so many ways. Will you be planning any shows in Canada? My dream would be to see you perform again, your voice is like butter! We met the night you played at the Exhibition in Toronto where I stood in a stare struck by your immense talent and singing along to every word. I’m so happy that you are happy in life and this new journey of authenticity is nothing short of amazing and inspiring. Many thanks, C xo
Hoi Sam, hier weer de dorpsgenoten uit België. Eerst en vooral veel sterkte. grootouder verliezen blijft pijnlijk. Blijf zeker vloggen. We kijken er altijd naar uit. Mijne man heeft 3 weken geleden zijn operatie gehad. Hij doet het ook heel goed. Zijn testosteron verhaal begint volgende maand. Jullie verhaal is heel gelijkend. Ge doet dat schitterend! Veel groeten Loes en Mats
My gender-therapist considers impatience with some of the changes to be a very good sign, because, as he mentioned to me when I mentioned growing pains in my breasts and their supposed inability to grow (they have been hurting for a good year now), he said "Girls born as girls can be impatient in much the same way when it concerns breast growth, especially girls that start breast development a little later compared to some or most of their friends." For me, this felt true in two ways, the first being impatient about breast growth now (even though a very big cup size is rare on hormones alone), but second, because of informational lessons at high schools I have given, I noticed how the boys who are insecure about the fact their voice had not yet been lowered or was still prone to cracking, all of them had this attitude like "The end result can't happen soon enough for me!" while I can vividly recall how I was absolutely happy my voice did not drop up until I was like 15 or something, but was completely in the dark about why I felt that way. Before high school I can recall meeting a classmate from an elementary school I had left because of bullying (not because I was transgender by the way, I didn't know that back then but was small for my age) when I was 11 or 12 and he was early in his development and he had gotten a totally different voice since the last time I saw him and I can recall the feeling of horror I had when realizing that was going to happen to me as well. So, see being impatient as a good thing, even though noticing almost nothing must seem frustrating. Some transgender friends (male-to-female) also had this and were completely surprised when I asked them about some of the things I was experiencing, so, it can differ from person to person on the male-to-female side of the spectrum just as well. Condoleances with your grandma.
Dear Sam, How sad you’ve lost you’re grandma, my condoleances Sam❣️ She sounds like a beautifull soul. I hope for you the dose change will work out righf. You’re official paperwork soon is all named with Sam. And that you can work out with you’re body. Glad to know you’re recovery is going wel. Hope the new music is 👍❣️ Take care 🤘🌴❣️
Dag Sam, Gecondoleerd met het overlijden van je oma. Nooit makkelijk om je grootouders te verliezen, weet ik uit ervaring. Wat je veranderingen betreft: ik wens je toch toe dat je geduld kunt opbrengen. Je hebt heel bewust gekozen voor de bescherming van je stem en daardoor voor een lage dosis testosteron, dus dan duren de veranderingen ook heel bewust wat langer. Ik zie en hoor echt wel wat veranderingen, dus probeer je niet te druk te maken, Sam. Alles komt goe, ook met het papierwerk. Wat moet je allemaal invullen, eigenlijk? Bedankt voor die mooie palmbomen ;-)
Zo mooi de palmbomen. Nogmaals gecondoleerd met het verlies van jouw oma. Gelukkig heb je mooie herinneringen aan haar. Ik ben heel benieuwd wat de verandering in testosteron gaat doen. Het komt goed Sam. x
Hoi Sam, gewoon een tip voor litteken weefsel niet te laten stretchen. In America gebruiken ze 'scare gard' op basis van silicone wat erg duur is. In België gebruiken ze een andere soort tape. Met dezelfde resultaten maar veel goedkoper. Het is van 3M micropore huidkleur surgical tape van 2.5 CM op 9.14 m. Misschien iets om te proberen als je in België bent. Groeten uit Kapellen.
Nu weten we van wie je die positieve uitstraling geërfd hebt 💖, wat een toffe grotemoe, zo modern ivm je tattoo 😍. Koester de mooie herinneringen 💖. Wat de veranderingen betreft, gewoon afwachten, alles komt wel op z'n pootjes terecht 😉. Ik kijk al uit naar de release van Rex Rebel 😘
Wat spreek je trots over je oma 💖 Nog gecondoleerd met haar verlies. Hoop dat er met de aanpassing in de testosteron meer merkbare veranderingen zullen komen. Een borstoperatie is niet niks, of het nu een verkleining is zoals ik zelf heb gehad, of zoals bij jou alles weggehaald het is een flinke operatie. Veel plezier in Europa de komende weken!! Hoop snel weer van die mooie palmbomen en blauwe luchten te zien, hier in Nederland is het grauw en grijs.
Ooh sterkte met het verlies van je oma,.. dikke knuffel. Mooie V-log,... Ze vieren boven samen hun hereniging. Succes met je verdere doelen. Blijf je volgen. En misschien tot de wegen kruisen. Evelyn Depoorter from Belgium ✌️🙏 Namaste 😇🙏 take Care 🙏😇✌️
Sam, waarom doseer je 1 x per 2 weken.. ? Wat dan misschien naar 1 x per 10 dagen gaat. Mannen die TRT doen.. Doen sowieso 1 x per week.. Infrequente dosering is van vroeger omdat het toen wellicht alleen bij de dokter gebeurde. Mannen die omwege van tekorten TRT toepassen doseren ook wel om de dag. En uitzonderingen zelfs elke dag. Maar dat is dan ook weer overdreven. Ik zou zeggen,. elke week. De halve dosering van wat je nu in 2 weken doet. Wordt dan100 mg / week. Is een algemene dosis bij trt ..

Sorry for the loss of your grandma... all my condolences... she seemed to be a sweet and sparkling heart ... what a beautiful tribute for her ... 💚

I've missed palm trees. Thanks for sharing about you thoughts. Documents will pop anytime soon, relax and enjoy life. So sorry for your lost.
You're a beautiful person Sam; congratulations with the Rex Rebel single, it's amazing and great to listen to

Great to see you so optimistic, Sam, even your eyes smile. Much more positive energy on screen compared to one or two vlogs ago. :)

Veel sterkte met het verlies van je grootmoeder 😘😘😘😘
Sterkte met het verlies van je grootmoe, Sam 💕😘
Sam, waarom doseer je 1 x per 2 weken.. ? Wat dan misschien naar 1 x per 10 dagen gaat. Mannen die TRT doen.. Doen sowieso 1 x per week.. Infrequente dosering is van vroeger omdat het toen wellicht alleen bij de dokter gebeurde. Mannen die omwege van tekorten TRT toepassen doseren ook wel om de dag. En uitzonderingen zelfs elke dag.

Like like like! Kom maar op met die Rex Rebel :)

You are such an attractive man!
Hier nog wat positieve vibes voor de wereld: czcams.com/video/VCdSXQEApbI/video.html
Je deviens fan des palmiers, que m'arrive t'il ? ! 😮 C'est contagieux Sam ? 😅
