Hey! I'm Beckett a trans guy with blue hair who started out making tik toks and somehow ended up here, I'm gonna make informational and educational videos about lgbtq+ topics, I hope you enjoy :)
Asking about pronouns: As someone who's not fully 'out' yet, I would suggest 1) don't make a big scene about it, ask gently/quietly, and if possible not loudly/in front of a crowd. And 2) actually ask, don't phrase an assumption as a question - like 'are you a she/her? You look like a she/her' - which I had a stranger actually yell at me across a room once, in front of people I know but am not out to. It was suuuuper uncomfortable/awkward and wildly dysphoria-inducing (I'm ftm and 'you look like a she/her' ruined my day). It turned out the person who yelled this at me was a very femme-presenting they/them, so really should have known better about making assumptions and asking respectfully...Please, please don't ever frame an assumption as a question and yell it out in public at someone you don't know!
Thank you for your recommendations they will be very useful. Thanks for sharing your video with me. Yes, I am a FtM trans guy. I just haven't figured out how to get rid of my given name on utube. 🙂🫠🏳️⚧️🇦🇺
Hey Beckett, I just found your video & what an interesting journey you've had from when you were younger to now. I'm also a FtM trans guy & I realised when I was much younger say 6 or 7 that I was different. I was a lesbian for 30+ years b4 I realised what & who I wanted to be. I'm now 55 & 1 month in & loving my new life & everyone that is my family & friends accept me for who I am. Thanks for sharing your video with me. 🙂🫠🏳️⚧️🇦🇺
I’m looking into trying an STP and what confuses me is that they all have a bowl rather then being closer to a urethra? I always spread with my hand when pee and can’t imagine how to pee right into something without using a hand. won’t piss get onto outer labia? thank you!
It's literally 2 am but I couldn't sleep (stressing about being trans and stuff) and this video was so peaceful and reassuring. I was really worried about bottom growth but now I understand it more and honestly it doesn't seem so scary anymore. Thank u for these great videos, they help a lot
For people in Michigan: Ruth Ellis center in Detroit is a grant funded Lgbtq+ center that does HRT treatment and over all health care. I start T in a month due to staff shortage
You’re so luckly u are transitioning so ”fast”. My story is pretty similar, I’m now 18 and have been identifying as trans male like 1,5 year (before non-binary too for a while) and I haven’t even got in to trans clinic, and there it can also take years to get surgery, hormones.. :,,)
Wow. This is like identical to my thought process and feelings about my gender and discovering my own gender identity. Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel like I'm not alone. <3
Honestly, this has been interesting to listen to. I’m currently a she/her, but I wish a little bit I was a they/them. Buuuuuuut, if I told anyone I know, I would be instantly disowned. So she/her it is
Hint for older transmasc/trans guys… Finasteride is a DHT blocker. They use it to help tans girls put the pause button on changes when they hit puberty age, so any doctor who tells you that stuff won’t impact or slow down or even prevent your changes, it’s not the case for some. I am 10 months on T. No voice changes. No bottom growth. Often I have my period. Be really careful when trying to prevent hair loss, when dealing with DHT blockers. Also, creams and foams you can use for growing a beard, it raises your blood pressure. T also raises your blood pressure, so just heads up if you have medical issues with heart or blood pressure, platelet issues or other blood disorders.
Thank you so much for posting this. It’s so helpful for a questioning trans guy. It was really comforting, in a way, when you mentioned that being a man scared you. Cuz that’s exactly how I feel. Everything is very confusing but your content is very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for talking about the singing part. I really like to sing so I fear the effects on going on T. Also, the emotions part bothers me because I already struggle with feeling emotions, I’ve been working through it but I guess I’m still scared about what T would do to my emotional experience. Great video though!
I'm not sure if you mean anxiety levels in general or just about the shots themselves but I had some trouble around the second month of getting really anxious before doing each shot but I've gotten past it.
@@beckettls6941 Oh yeah, I meant anxiety in general. I’ve heard of other transmasc ppl who started to become extremely anxious over just stepping out of the house. But thanks for your input!
This. This! THIS! This is what I've been wanting to voice since I was a little "girl." I grew up as a shadow of my brother, realizing I was gay when I was in hs (but like come on, I knew I didn't like boys.), and only coming about as a nonbinary lesbian at 30. But truly, so freaking truly I know inside myself that I'm trans that I want top surg and to go on low dose T. This is how I will tell everyone (when I'm ready) that I'm trans masc nonbinary and always have been. The gender barriers and stereotypes were so ingrained and I knew nothing else until this year. Thanks Becks.
It's kinda hard with the differing light and stuff, but in your T-photos your face looks wider and slightly more squarish 6 months vs. 3 months on T. As for binder brands: - USA(/Canada?) -> GC2B / Underworks - UK -> You can get those two brands, but they can be costlier. Spectrum Outfitters is a UK-based reputable brand however.
I have some advice on when to correct someone about your pronouns to tack onto what u said, when I was in high school I had a substitute that stayed on for like two months but for the first week I didn’t know how long she was going to sub for, so I just never had to correct her bc it didn’t come up but then it did, a lot, and she was cool about it and confused why I waited so long, so if you’re in school and have a sub and ur not sure if it will come up, ask them how long they’ll be subbing for so you know whether or not telling them will be important.
