Chatting with a Transgender Man

"A transgender person (often shortened to trans person) is someone whose gender identity differs from that typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth.[1] Some transgender people who desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another identify as transsexual." - wikipedia

It’s so funny that the Chatting With series has always been about empathy, you’ve had criminals and people from all walks on here, and yet this is where some commenters draw the line. People really need to get out of their information bubbles and think for themselves and more than anything enjoy life. The misery of hate is alluring to those who have yet to welcome an alternative. Thank you Andrew and Ernie! You’re the best!

Thank you Andrew for interviewing my Amazing Son Ernest 👏 ❤ As his Mum that gave birth to him 26 years ago, my midwife who delivered Ernest said...Congratulations you have a Boy! Obviously my little boy was a little baby girl. Took my one and only beautiful child home, low and behold, all my gorgeous baby just wanted to play with hilarious boy stuff, hated dresses, pig tails, dolls ect there were super funny times trying to dress in the mornings for school, " I want to wear shorts Mammy" Today, I'm the Proudest Mammy in the world, yes I had a baby girl, now I have an amazing Son that makes me proud and happy every frigging day. Love health and happiness to all reading this ❤

Cool of you to do this. I think a lot of people have hateful opinions of trans people because they just don't understand it. It doesn't help that there aren't a lot of ways to discuss this sort of thing in a civilized way. So this is a really helpful thing to share. Of course, the hateful bigots will never take the time to expand their perspective, but I hope they do.

To any one who is transphobic/hateful/bigoted reading this, I get why you don't understand, it's definitely confusing and I get it. But a lot of people have this experience. It's not invalid, clearly, since so many people experience it. So why don't you please try to just listen to these people, instead of trying to decide for yourself the worth of another human being.

If the comments and dislikes don't say something about the world's view of trans people, idk what does. Folks rejected gay people, black people, immigrants, etc. Eventually the general population came to the consensus that that was wrong. But here we are again with just another group of people...

Man this was so good. Ernie seems wise beyond his years. Very vulnerable and insightful. Love it.

Shame that much of Andrew's audience is so unaccepting of a man just simply living his life, in his lane, not hurting anybody. Queerness is beautiful and courageous, and I hope this guy knows he has people who love and support him! ❤️

Ernie is the best. This was a great conversation!

It's a new concept for some of us that people born appearing to be one gender, are actually another gender. I watched tons of videos with trans people and began to understand. Thank you for adding to my understanding.

So sad seeing all the hateful comments. Really cool of you to do this chatting with! I've been following your channel for years (since before I transitioned) so it's nice to know you're accepting and willing to actually understand transgender people and actually talk to them. So much of this hate comes from ignorance and it's much harder to hate when you get to meet and know a trans person as a person. We're just trying to live while trans

Half of these comments are so sad. In the future, everybody commenting transphobic shit will be just like the grandparents that most kids are ashamed.

Hi Andrew, what are some of your favorite videogames?

I'm always surprised when I find out there's yet another english accent that i don't recognize.

Thanks for sharing with us Ernie. Really glad to hear this interview.

[rossjam]

Lots of scared people in the comments. What sad, pathetic little lives. Why not focus your anger on the wealthy who are destroying this planet for greed.

[alexbielovich]

This was educational, wish Ernie all the best

Im glad you did this video, helps people like me who aren't the most informed in this area. Great conversation!

IMO this Ernie dude is such a great spokesman for the trans community. Completely down-to-earth, open to talk, not too sensitive and just seems like a normal, cool person. It seems like a lot of trans figures on the internet can be very defensive/sensitive (I am sure for good reason) and can often be really loud/intense/in-your-face. Not always (and thats fine anyway - each to their own), but sometimes they come across as quite unstable. But I think Ernie does a really good job - is a good example of a down-to-earth, happy member of society, without being combative or preachy. Looks like a straight up dude too - you'd never know he's had to change. He's lucky, sometimes its really obvious and that'd make life super hard I would imagine.
