Hello friend! My name is Airoh Walker, and sometimes I make videos on my thoughts, my transition, my life, or my Spoken Word poetry.
Want to help me add captioning to my videos? Use this link, and comment or message me so that I can add CC in the title to let viewers know which videos are more accessible. ru-vid.com_cs_panel?tab=2&c=UC7R4MEzgovcMC06Z2n9WcLw To anyone who contributes, thank you very much! You are an extraordinary wonderful human being!
Thank you for making this video. I am on the waiting list for GRS Montreal and really wanted to see someone's experiance there and to find a fellow NB getting it is very nice.
ive been watching a lot of these videos, do you microdose T? idk if you mention this in later videos so i apologise if this is something thats already been mentioned! currently at 6:44 so ill edit this if you mention it later on :p
Thank you for this video. I am 52 and returning to work today as non-binary. I am hoping my experience is as positive as yours. Work are trying to be supportive but it is the first time the company has had to manage a transition. Like you I'm concerned about my coworkers rather than the management, they are of my generation (mainly) and, like me before my kids came out as NB, I imagine they don't have much knowledge or experience of non-binary people. Tha k you for your story and for taking the time to post it it does make a difference x
Congrats on your consultation! I had trouble figuring out things with them initially, but overall I am very happy with my experience with GRS Montréal, and wouldn’t have gone elsewhere. It’s been a few years since this video and my results continued to heal well. I’m excited for you!

You are very cute and androgynous :3 I enjoyed watching your video as I could not find a video before that was relatable regarding my doubts on t. I started t on low dose two months ago, I am confident it is the right thing but some fears pop up sometimes. I am somewhat genderfluid, more comfortable with a masculine expression but some days I look at my feminine perceived shaped face and kinda like it and wonder if I want it to change. This is why I am on low dose though, so I can feel in control of the changes going on. Not any visible change after two months so I'm getting impatient a bit lol but I'm standing by it for now. I want to relieve that voice dysphoria so much. Have you been on low dose for four year or normal dose?
Aww thank you! And I totally get those feelings. I am on a regular dose for T. I initially wanted to go to low dose once things started changing or to go completely off after several months to a year when more had happened. Eventually though when I was at my perfect place with my changes, things really slowed down and I decided to stay on to keep the non permanent ones. I am also nervous it wouldn’t work right medically for me to be on low dose because when I started T I did my shot every two weeks but my body would process it too quickly. I would have spikes of estrogen in the days leading up to my shot that gave me mood swings. Honestly thought, if it works for you it does seem like a great way to maintain more control. As far as face change stuff, that was one of the slowest changing things for me and it’s also something that would likely change back significantly if I stopped T, whereas my voice is here to stay regardless. Anyways, I wish you the best luck on your journey!! Thank you for sharing :)
(ENG: They/them, FRA: il, iel) Hey! It's nice to finally see another video from you 💞 I love how you uploaded this video in the midst of my HRT questioning XD The video you reacted to of yourself sounds very similar to my anxiety in regards to testosterone, although I am also worried about whether or not bottom growth would trigger my gender dysphoria. I'm thinking of starting low-dose T with DHT blockers. I keep saying I want to wait until after I get top surgery to try, but my voice and social dysphoria is really starting to weigh a lot on me. Your reaction to your younger self really helped sooth my nerves though. I think I'll try to give T a go, at least until my voice drops. Thank you so much for posting this video 💖
You are very welcome, thank you for your comment! I’m so happy you liked my video and found it helpful! The things you said are very motivating to me to continue to make and share videos. I wish you all the best on your gender journey! <3
I know I’m late getting back to you, but I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful comment. It means a lot to be able to hear that <3 wishing you all the best
Hey there! For some reason I thought I had responded to you already. Thank you so much for your comment! I get caught up with stuff but I did read and appreciate it. You inspired me to do this and I actually got around to it and posted it just now. So thank you it was a great idea! :)
Im trying to figure out a new name since i know im non binary, and im starting high school next year and don't want to change my name part way through high school. I love hearing other peoples stories, it helps so much.
Mitch Power I didn’t end up ever having drains :) . I was fully expecting to until I got there but was told my surgeon did a technique that didn’t use them.
Mitch Power I stayed in Montréal for 3 days total. The day before, the day of, and the day after, and then I left the next morning. My entire stay was covered by OHIP.
i know this is an older video, but i wanted to comment and say how happy this makes me! a lot of the things you said throughout the video before transitioning describe exactly what ive been trying to put into words for my own experience. its so inspiring to see your journey through transitioning, and im hoping i can get there one day. thank you so much ^^ ur so awesome!!
Thank you so much for this! I'm a transmasc nb and i want to go on t and get top surgery and seeing this really gives me hope that i'll attain those two special things one day! thank you so damn much<3
Aw you are very welcome! Thank you for letting me know. Your comment brightened my day! I’m really glad I could give you some hope. I wish you luck in your transition. <3
Hey how long did you have to wait to get surgery in Montreal? I’m from Toronto but I believe the wait times might be a lot longer . I have my first appointment to start T on Thursday and I’m 23 FTM if that helps
Jess P Its a little complicated to talk about my wait because I had some issues with doctors in the process. I’m from Ontario too, but I have heard that it’s quicker to get into the Montreal clinic than the experienced surgeons in Ontario. GRS Montreal has a policy that if you are getting OHIP covered surgery you will be able to get your surgery within a maximum of 6 months after you get your funding approved (which usually takes a couple months after a doctor approves you).
PlantFirez transgender just means that someone identifies with a gender different than the one they were assigned at birth. Lots of Nonbinary people identify as trans.
I really like this poem! We are all ourselves and just one thing about us doesn't define us as a whole. I've written similar poems before, but I'd never have the courage to share them through spoken word like you do! Keep up the great writing and ideas you share! 😊
doodly dais aww thank you so much! You are very sweet. I hope that one day you are able to share your poems. The world always benefits from more good people expressing themselves 💕
@@airohwalker2478 of course! I share them but in a way where I don't have to actually speak them, I used to share them more frequently but now I tend to keep them to myself. I totally agree though! The world is better off with more people expressing themselves 😊
Congrats!! Sorry it’s late! I got here from your top surgery prep video, thank you for making it. It was v cute and made me feel a lot better about surgery tbh!
I'm a Non-Binary too, I wish I could go on testosterone or top surgery. But I'm looking to get my hair cut! Can't wait! I follow you not only because you are an Enby sibling of me, I find you really sympathetic, handsome and attractive! Live your life as best u can!
Lena - Lena - Thank you so much 😊 . You are so sweet! I’m really glad you enjoy my videos. It can be intimidating posting stuff like this, but it’s comments like yours that remind me why I do it. The more enby rep the better! Do you have a date set for your hair cut?
