How I Knew I Was Transgender

The process of how I realised I'm transgender! There's no right or wrong way, this is just the way I found out :)

Social Media Links:

, ,The way I felt wasn't wrong, I wasn't weird, I was trans." Wise words right here my friends...

I’m cisgender but I like watching these videos, because they help me understand a lot of things I didn’t know about trans people ❤️

Jamie, my son came out to me last month. He will start testosterone next month. I am so thankful for people like yourself who are willing to put your story out there. Thank you for the work you are doing. It is invaluable.

You helped me realize that I was trans and that it's okay to be trans about a year ago at like 3am and I remember being so scared but your videos have helped me through it and now I'm nearly 5 months on T

I’m non binary and my first reaction was
“S*IT! THIS ISNT RIGHT.”
Because I am unlucky and have transphobic parents and I was grew up thinking the whole LGBTQ community is wrong due to my parents view

Jesus Jamie how can a living man be so adorable? You're like a child of the cinnamon roll and the sunshine itself.

When I came out to my mom she asked “So...when did you *decide* you were trans?” And I just cringed so hard

Three years ago. I had just come to terms with being transgender. I was 13. I spent an entire night watching all your videos. I slept through my alarm and missed the bus for school the next day. But at least I knew that I would be okay.

Added captions to the video, for all my deaf/hard of hearing trans folk out there ❤❤❤

I'm not trans, I am happy with my assigned gender but I support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community and your videos help educate me on transgender people and thank you :)

For me, being gay helped me realise I was trans. As puberty came in, I realised I wanted to things to guys that girls shouldn't do/can't do. Both in a sexual and romantic way.

When I hit puberty I waited for my voice to change and was so surprised that I grew breasts. I was so disappointed somehow.
But I was prepared for my period somehow...
Only now that I am 19 I have time to reflect on my life and realise who I am.
It's scary but also very exciting. I want to transition but I don't want to regret it and-
.... well the brain is powerful...

And I also look at a lot of YouTube videos and your videos particularly make me feel 'homesick' for my real me. At first it was intimidating because you are already past the awkward pre-t turnip but it is also very calming ??

I think I at least knew I wasn't a stereotypical girl when I never wanted to be seen as one and I preferred to be seen as a guy. I looked up transgender occasionally but never really thought about gender because I was so concerned with being lesbian as the time in a Catholic household. Loads later I met a trans-woman and we dated for a bit. I learned more about trans and was like hmm sounds kinda like me. I thought about it more, went on T, and all is well. I do identity as agender though because I don't feel like either gender but I want to be seen at least as male in society.

I was kinda girly as a child but the first time someone called me a "pretty young lady " i fucking freaked

[kodafenton]

I found out when i was 16 or 17; i never truly loved my body; I didnt like the way it looked. At first i thought i was just being insecure but after running into a bunch of lgbtq+ accts on social media talking about trans ppl i discovered i was trans; and alot of other reasons backs up why i believe I'm trans. Next year i should be able to be myself; as of now school and my home wouldnt accept it if i tried to be me(҂-̀_-́)

You were my light bulb moment. I was 13 and very troubled, when I somehow stumbled upon your pre-t/post-t comparison picture. When I saw that it was possible, I knew that was what I needed to do. Thank you for sharing your journey!

I don’t exactly know when exactly the thoughts started or when i started feeling uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I used to wear dresses and I’d like it! And that’s part of the reason why I thought I wasn’t. But then as soon as I realized I was trans, i changed a bit. I couldn’t wear dresses and show my chest, without hating it. And then I tried on guys clothes for the first time and put my hair up and loved it. Anyways sorry for the rant but I love you Jamie! And you all are amazing and worth it!

I've always known I was trans-masculine since I was very small. I've fought with my mom my whole life about not adhering to the gender I was born as. never wanting feminine clothing, makeup, long hair, and I had to to wait until senior year in high school to dress and look how I want. that was back in 2012, but in 2015 I finally affirmed I was trans to myself and started researching what to do to transition. 2017 was the year I started taking testosterone and I've been on it almost one whole year, and this year I get top surgery. I'm so ready to take the next step.

I didn't really feel super dysphoric during puberty because all my life I was told I was too young to do things to the point where I couldn't enjoy anything because I felt 'too young'. When I started going through puberty I was happy because I felt like I would finally be taken seriously.

SO RELATABLE!!!! I was a huge tomboy growing up and everybody said I would grow out of it, I was like um no I wanna be a boy. Then like you said puberty hit and it was horrible trying to be girly but it never felt right. Lightbulb moment was with your video to BuzzFeed and I've never looked back. Thank you Jamie for your videos ☺ you've helped me reopen my eyes to what I always knew I was and help my family understand 💛
