LOVE THAT HUG AT THE END!!!!

Ever since I recently came to the conclusion that I was trans, I’ve been able to separate that part of me I’ve known all my life. One of the biggest obstacles in coming out and looking to transition is the fear that I’ll lose a big part of myself by saying goodbye to my assigned gender. I’ve disconnected him, but still have this sort of love and appreciation that feels as powerful as it would with my closest friend. I don’t hate him, I don’t wish he was gone, he’s just…not me.

My God, I traveled back in time. I am sixty-eight and have suffered from gender dysphoria all my life. Thank goodness times have changed. You have got it exactly right ✅

[beezeisacommunist]

it hurts because that’s how it feels. i know that all of my “friends” think i’m just a girl who uses he/they pronouns. everyone outside of like three people i know don’t actually see me for who i am on the inside. and it hurts.

I Loved it, it captured Gender Dysphoria perfectly from the misgendering by others to the still seeing yourself as the other gender it was really well produced!

"You still look like a girl" yeah i know??? Do u think i don't cry about that every night ffs

[jeremielowen]

Im nonbinary and this got me crying..love this!!

This film is discreetly powerful, emotionally moving (now heart-wrenching, now quietly triumphant) and transformative: a story of emotional disquiet, socialized oppression and, ultimately, victory through self-care and self-love. A beautiful film: poignant and cathartic.

This is incredible and so on point, I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

im a trans boy and this is exactly how it feels, looking in the mirror and seeing a girl. its so exhausting never feeling like i look how i want to look

[MistaSmith]

I didn’t notice a spelling error, but was impressed by the blocking of the title text in the beginning. Great shortfilm!

Two years into transition later in life, and this is exactly how it is. Thank you soo much for putting this together in such a succinctly powerful way..🥰

As a cis person, I love and respect all Transgender and non-gender specific ppl. I love learning more about the Trans community because I want to be able to understand them better. Thank you for making this

[butterflypooo]

Thanks for this. 💞 At first, I wasn’t sure if what we saw in the mirror was how they really felt inside or what others see. The next scene made it clear though.

I surprised myself and teared up when she hugged her “old self”. That was really powerful.

These people need assurance and friendship from us all that understand what they are living everyday.

just beginning my trans journey.
really needed to see this today 💖 thank you 💫

God I was so touched all the way through but I really started crying when I saw the credits and it said ‘pretransition girl’. It made me realise I don’t have to look at my younger self as a girl I once was, that I’m now separated from, but just as pretransition me. I’ve always tried to make myself a completely different person.

Your portrayal of school was so accurate as well, when you’re trans all eyes really are on you. And how they were misgendering her was so familiar.

Thank you for making this.

Thanks for this video all my young life until now Ive felt like I’m a man trapped in a womens body

[ryuonedge]

Her pre-transition self is like transition goals for me
