5 Signs You Might Be Transgender

Today I’m going to be talking about 5 signs you might be transgender. I’m a non-binary person who identifies with the word trans and I wish there was something like this when I was younger so I could have known I wasn’t alone. So if making this video helps just one trans person out there it will have been worth it to make. Now these are just some signs you might be trans and every trans persons journey is different and there’s no one way to be trans.

“your life is for you” I dont think enough people especially parents realize this

When I learned what transgender meant it took this huge weight off my shoulders. Just knowing that I wasn't the only person to experience all those confusing dysphoric/euphoric feelings was such a relief. I spent a good chunk of my life thinking I was insane.

Someone finally gendered me correctly today honestly~ they apologized because a few weeks ago they called me dude, then today he came to me and said “hey sorry, I know you said you’re trans, so I won’t do it again, and honestly you’re looking like a girl right now” and my heart dropped~… I blushed and honestly I was really happy

0:35 - 0:45 I am glad that you took the time to acknowledge that non-binary people are not obligated to also identify with the word trans, but I am also glad that you also do identify with that.

I started to cry watching this. I am a biological born female, but it never really felt right. I still use she/her and never really seriously considered being transgender. But watching this, I felt like it hit something inside. I resonated more with the signs then I thought I would. I always, like I said, felt like something was wrong/uncomfortable. I wished, and still do, that one day I will wake up and be a boy. I don’t really mind being called she/her, but the gender specific compliments, those hurt. When I got a more "male" clothing style, people stopped complementing me. Only when I would were dresses I got complimented.

I have never known much about the LGBTQ+ community, mostly because of my west side upbringings. being gay wasn’t a big no no, but I feel like being transgender is a whole nother level. But last year I got into this school which are really open and accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, and I have learned so much about it. I still remember the first week of school and me classmates asked in our group chat what our pronouns were and suggesting making little cards with everyone’s pronouns on them and hang them up in our classroom. I just remember thinking it was so wholesome and considerate.

I am still questioning my gender, pronouns, and sexuality, but being around the environment at school and watching videos like these really make me learn and find out more about myself.

Thank you to anyone who read this. I am really bad at talking about my feelings, and I don`t have many friends to talk about this either.

This is amazing, and I'm really glad that this was made. I've been using the label "transgender" for about half a year now but there's always the thought of "what if im just faking for attention" or "you're lying to yourself." This really helped get rid of most of the doubt I was experiencing :D

I’ve got my first gender counselling appointment tomorrow and I had to send this to my girlfriend so she can understand me a little better. I’m a transman

[AmethystOrlando]

Due to a lack of LGBTQ+ education in my childhood & teen years, I never came to my trans conclusion until lockdown...but I suppose there were some early indicators:

1) I always winced whenever my mum (& maybe some other relatives) called me stuff like 'handsome boy.'

2) I never liked using the urinal in public bathrooms & stubbornly used cubicals.

3) whenever having to introduce myself, a part of me would die inside whenever I would have to say my deadname out loud.

4) this one probably doesn't matter but I hate having my hair cut too short because it looked way too macho.

[Heheheheehheehehhehheh]

I'm a 14F. I'm not really sure. Ever since I was a kid, I loved dressing up in boy clothes. My parents, siblings, friends, and family used to call me tomboy. I didn't feel uncomfortable being a female, but something about being Male mad me feel safer. So in 2020 I asked my parents if I could cut my hair short and they said yes. When i cut it short, I felt more comfortable and free. I don't know if I'm trans or not, it's driving me crazy.

[DangerousKaos]

Thanks! I'm non-binary and I believe I, too, am trans :) Thank you for this. I love your channel. This video (and content) is so relatable.

[rowsleet]

my biggest one was euphoria. i would spend HOURS in cosplay because i was so comfortable and safe in the way that i was presenting. so much confidence in masculine outfits. eventually, i realized i didn’t have to force myself to be a girl if i didn’t want to anymore

[mia]

I realised I was trans through dreams, I would have lucid dreams where I was a girl, and it just felt right, I changed my name and pronouns, and I now feel sooo much better, it's like I can finally be free

I'm a 15-year-old transgender girl, and I really like this video! I have identified as a girl since I was a little kid, but I didn't know the exact term for it, and I was living as gender-neutral socially. The puberty you talked about didn't necessarily make me feel uncomfortable until when I was 14 it started to get uncomfortable that I want to develop female characteristics. Thank you for this video and hopefully this will help people that are questioning their gender identity and for those too, that don't know about gender dysphoria.

P.S. My doctor made a referral to a transgender outpatient clinic and it got accepted! :) All I ever need to wait is an appointment.

i am really needing this more than ever atm :/
gender crisis going :P

[TheWizardEmu]

I've been questioning for years now. Somehow I just know that I want to be a girl, but I can't explain why. I'm constantly ruminating about this, constantly going from thinking I'm a trans woman to thinking maybe I've just been a cis guy all along, back and forth like a switch being turned on and off countless times. Sometimes neither of the binary genders feels right. I've tried just saying I'm non-binary to be done with the questioning, but I'm still unsure if that fits, and I keep finding myself wondering if I'm a trans woman no matter what I do.

I've tried changing my pronouns to she/her countless times. Each time I do, I usually go back to he/him in about 2 or 3 weeks, after I realise that merely changing my pronouns isn't enough for me. Recently when I changed my pronouns back to she/her, it seemed like people didn't even care to use them- they'd just call me he anyway, or completely avoid using pronouns when referring to me altogether. It's like no one believes in my gender identity enough to respect it, and I hate that. How am I supposed to learn to feel comfortable with myself, if I can't even be referred to in a way that feels right? I feel like I always have to use he/him just so OTHER people can be happy. I just feel desensitised to it because people call me that every day of my life. Or that's what I keep telling myself at least. After a while, all this questioning doesn't even make sense to me.

However, I feel like maybe I'm getting confused. Maybe the reason that I thought I could be trans in the first place is actually because the narrative of feeling really depressed and uncomfortable for your whole life, until a certain point where you can get the right help and be your truest self, really resonated with me, rather than me actually being transgender if that makes sense. Like, this is kinda how my anxiety and my depression make me feel, but I might have such high anxiety and depression for different reasons.

If anyone out there has read through all these ramblings of mine, thanks so much :)

I really hope I'm not alone in how I feel, because it feels really isolating and horrible

[Zay_M.]

first off- Your hair looks really cool! (I'm a little envious)
Secondly, this video made me very happy! Thank you so much Lynn!
Today someone in my class said something kind of transphobic to me and it made me feel really bad but this cheered me right up, so thank you, thank you so much!

[thispurplebeanYT]

Being someone who rarely experiences gender dysphoria, this video was very helpful. I never really had any issues with being a guy growing up (other than the body hair thing... that hit hard) but once I started exploring femininity and pronouns and names... it all just clicked super well. like damn.

[BlueDandyLyon]

Watching this right before I post that I am trans to my socials bc I was gaslighting myself into thinking I wasn’t trans. Thank you for this video, it really helped me :)

[sonyatheforestgaurdian]

Finding out that I'm trans really helped explain the "weird" things I did in childhood. And really explained me being dissociated through puberty longer than recovering from a brain surgery.

[idk.]

One time my mom asked me “what name would you want if you decided you were a boy. And it was a minute before I answered “Gabriel.” And then I thought about it for a moment and thought “oh my god, I answered too fast.” And then she asked me “and if you were non binary?” I didn’t respond this time but in my head I thought “Either Ellis or Mako.” And I think about it a lot. More of the “but I’m not non-binary?” And then thinking about it so much that I just give up because I don’t have the energy.
