me: wants to go on t, get top surgery, and get bottom surgery
also me: HOW AM I SURE THAT I AM TRANS

[euchrideucrow]

I knew I was trans when I was 7 but I thought every little girl wanted to be a boy so I kind of just forgot about it until I hit puberty and that's when it all went to hell

[moonturkey]

The question of "If you woke up tomorrow, what would you want to be" was really effective for me.

[chuckdaddyfanfics]

This video actually made me more secure in my non-binary identity. When you asked if I want to be a woman or want to be a man, my brain answered, "Neither. I want to be something else." Thank you for putting good content out into the world to help me and anyone else who can't make sense of their gender.

[romanogaers]

i was born a female and i’ve felt/knew i was female all my life. that key question: “would you wake up as the opposite sex” really helped. i’ve been questioning my gender identity for almost 3 months now and i KNOW i wouldn’t want to wake up as the opposite sex. thank you.

[sandcat]

SHE LOOKIN LIKE EDNA MODE. she is my fave character tho, and thank you for this information. It really helped.

[wes]

u be lookin like that short person from the incredibles

[theresemcknight]

I go back and forth between wanting to be a woman and wanting to feel like a woman.

[tylerlambert]

I'm left feeling conflicted. I'm not disgusted by my genitalia, and feel no need to alter it. But almost every other single aspect of life I wish near daily was more traditionally feminine. Body shape, mode of dress, and just so much more. One halloween I used it as an excuse to dress hyper feminine and it was one of the best days in my life. I'm not sure if I'm trans, but I've known for over 13 years now that if I could snap my fingers and have been born a woman I would. But with how much it would cost and the work it would take I don't think I'll ever let it go beyond fantasiful thinking.

[weastley]

I think the biggest sign was when I was 9 and I was hell bent on being a tomboy. I remember walking into class with the rest of the boys and they were bragging about how all the boys made it first and one of the girls pointed out I was there first. And the boys just looked at her weird and said "but she's not a girl, she's a tomboy" and that made me so unbelievably happy. Whoopsies.

[elqhqin]

I was assigned female at birth. I spent my whole childhood being part of "the boys" and every time that I realized my body wasn't like theirs I got angry. Growing up I tried very hard being feminine: I thought that would make me feel like other girls, but I always felt more uncomfortable.
Now every time that I feel masculine I love myself, but I'm scared that it might be a phase.
Plus I don't see myself as a boy because of my female body.

[runepoor]

It took me a long time to realize that I identify as an effeminate man(ftm). I don't have any issues with feeling effeminate, but I don't feel right being in a female body. It took me at least two or three years to sort through that nuance

[fletchling]

I'm 17. I've been wrestling with this since I was 13/14. I feel like sometimes if I don't transition to become a man I will explode, but other times these feelings aren't nearly as intense. I only realised I was experiencing gender dysphoria at about 13/14, but I know I felt it before that. At about 12 I developed bad eating habits because I wanted to slim down to make my chest and hips smaller, when I was 8 I refused to wear summer dresses to school, when I was 7 I remember trying to pee standing up and being disappointed that I couldn't. Therefore, surely I MUST be trans, yet I have a constant feeling of doubt that lingers over me. I cant live my life female - even the word woman makes me feel odd. So WHY do I constantly doubt myself?? :(( Thank you for the video!!

[emilysmith]

That very last point about trusting yourself is the hardest part for me. I feel like I've spent so many years lying to myself that I really struggle to know what voices are speaking the truth.

[deckofcards]

Thank you so much for this.
I've identified as female, then genderfluid, then non binary.
But now, this video has helped em come to terms with how uncomfy I am being those things.
I'm now pretty sure I'm a trans Male, thank you so much-

[wendyvance]

At an early age, I remember being upset about getting pregnant and giving birth. I talked to mother about how I was feeling. I don't remember the words she used, but I know that I must have been told that I am a boy and not to worry about it. This was my first indication that I was a girl. With the onset of puberty, the feelings grew stronger, but I kept them to myself. It took 49 years for me to finally accept that I am a trans woman, and it feels so much better. I'm much happier. Another great and helpful video! Thank you!

[netzach]

I realized I was trans when I felt complete and real identifying as a woman. All my life I've felt fake like I was pretending to be someone to other people, but deep down I knew that person I presented wasn't real. I felt like I was missing something, and didn't know what. And after many years of suffering it finally clicked when I started identifying as a woman I finally felt complete, I found what was missing and truly say I know who I am and it feels real

[alextrueheart]

The distinction between "feel like" and "be" finally made me realize that my gender expression is different than my gender identity.

I've been trans masc for five years but I've felt like it's a perfomance or a cage. I still have gender dysphoria and don't feel confident identifying as nonbinary so I've been suck for a long time. Today I finally realized I want to "be" a man and "feel" queer, or like a gender non-conforming man. I feel silly something so simple has been plaguing me all this time but I'm so glad to figure this out.

[IvyTheGamingPilot]

Yikes, honestly I'm kinda confused. When I was younger, (4-10) I did feel uncomfortable about gender assigned stuff like bathrooms, roles and all that jazz, and also wishing to be a girl... and I definitely would want to just wake up as a girl... and writing this comment I was expecting my brain to make a counter argument but that didn't turn out so ˢʰᶦᵗ ᶦ ᵐᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵇᵉ ᵗʳᵃⁿˢ

[johnnie]

My earliest memory of my gender dysphoria was when I was in kindergarten and I wanted to be in dance class but my mom said that was only for girls. Through school almost all of my closest friends were girls. A trend that continues to this day as all my closest friends are women. In school I hop-scotched, jumped rope and played Jack's all the time. In high school I'd have lunch with my girlfriends or hang out with them at the lockers. It hurt when they would talk about relationships and boyfriends because I would be excluded from those conversations. There's never been a doubt in my mind as to my gender. As a kid I used to pray all the time God would change me into a girl. Now I'm in my late middle age and I'm still praying only now I pray I'll have the funds for surgery. I've been on hormones for almost 17 years but waited to transition publicly until my child was grown. Well that time has come and so now comes the next and hopefully final step if I can afford it. Plus coming out to friends and family still has to be done and im not looking forward to that to be honest. Thanks for these great and informative videos.
