Wow, this is so strange, I was thinking about getting back into making more videos. I have been taking a deep dive into my mental and spiritual side. I have been on the fence about people wanting to hear about that?
Can I ask how old some of you were when you started feeling gender dysphoria? I have a trans son who started feeling gender dysphoric at 14 years old and still does at 19 years old. I've seen some younger trans person saying people who feel GD at an older age arent really trans. So, just wondering if this is false. C
I was about 3 when I was pretending to shave like my dad. I didn't feel any gender dysphoria until about 6,when I felt like I should be standing up to pee?. The older I got the more withdrawal from society I became because I knew I was a boy but was not treated as such. I am 52 and back when I was younger I really didn't know what gender dysphoria was. I always say to myself if I were to take everyone and all situations out of the equation, would I still want to be a boy. You have to transition for yourself. If everyone already seen you as a boy as with the world, could you come home and be okay with that or would you be unhappy still . I use reverse logic on myself, what if it was the opposite. Say for instance you were born a boy but had to keep that a secret and had to present yourself as a girl to the world, how would that feel? Because to me that would be okay. It's when you are alone and with your own self that it hurts. Sorry to go on and on, I hope that helps. Just remember we are all different and other might feel totally different, so get a lot different opinions on the topic. Best of luck on your journey
Heya, thanks for making these. My GD came back really badly with the menopause. I can’t believe it. I thought I’d come to terms with myself and don’t know if I’ve got the energy to physically transition..
Your amazing for coming out at 50!!!! People say that there weren't trans people 20-30 years ago and you prove them wrong!!!! Congrats on coming out I came out to friends 3 years ago when I was 17 as ftm
Hun nobody goes from female to male overnight cos nobody can go from female to male ever. We're not clownfish. We can't change sex. I hope you can find actual help. Testosterone supplementation hurts women's bodies. Watch your health.
Hi. I'm 53. Started my tshots one yr and half ago. Had top surgery 3 months ago. I find the shots work better but still not changing quickly as I like. I find its a long road. Hang in there and thank u for sharing.
You cannot go from female to male in minutes, overnights, or ever! I’m sorry you’re struggling this way, but you’re harming your older body quickly at this point, for trivial results. Be a proud lesbian, or be proud of your ordinarinesses, you are a special person and worthy of love without special attention from the public. Best of luck, Brenda 💕
Ohhhh the Tylenol this why I felt the same way haha thanks for that info! I actually was doing push-ups and that was a bad idea haha my nipples payed the price so now I know better.
Hey Andrew I commented on a video you had a year ago! So happy to see you had top surgery!!! I’m 4 weeks post op and I’m so HAPPY!!! You look great! Curious to know are you still using gel??? I do injections in my thigh weekly things are moving along good. I’m 46 and for the first time I feel like the true me! Be well!
Hi Andrew I’m a 46 year old Trans male and may of 2021 I started testosterone injections and now am 4 weeks post op. I kept my name…so so proud of you and I can totally relate to what you’ve been talking about at work. I wish you well🖤
Hey Andrew congrats! I just came across your Chanel yesterday and I honestly couldn’t be more baffled abt how patient and optimistic you’ve been abt your transition. Again, congrats!
Hi. Thank you for your video. I’m a 47 yo FTM that has not started T. I’m just starting my transition and working on being comfortable with changing my name in public and at work.
I started T injections at 57 and it was slow going for me too. I think the slowness is from decades of being bombarded with estrogen. I deal with lots of people at work and slowly the ma'ams became sirs. At age 60 I rarely get called ma'am anymore. I never tried to correct anyone unless they asked. In the beginning I decided to just let it go until I 'evolved' further.
Hi Andrew, thank you so much for sharing this! It’s so important to hear as the struggles of having a rooted social life is something that young people ( like myself) don’t have to experience in the same way. So excited for you. It’s really nice to have a male role model to look up to. Thanks again
So happy I found your video, Andrew. I'm 28 and FTM, recently came out at work and starting T this week. Some of the things you said really struck me. "Sometimes I get a lot of heartache about them calling me ma'am still" -- I definitely feel that. And, "I've always been the man to myself. Just not to everyone else." I'm very fortunate that my workplace has tried to accommodate. I work in the used car auction business and am very customer-facing. Transitioning as an established adult (I know 28 is still young but I do have a professional career) is hard, but rewarding. You're such a beautiful person and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
That is the exact same question my psychiatrist asked me. One that I could not answer right away. I couldn't figure out why. And that bothered me. I sat and pondered for quite some time before I realized I felt uncomfortable in my body. Wow.
Hey Alex I am also in Baltimore Md and I am 59 yrs old. I think that is also me to the same issues like you give blood and headaches, sleep apnea wow this is wild. We need to hook up my name is Ross.
Hey Andrew, thanks for sharing . I appreciate your boldness and your honesty. Yes it is a lot harder when you’re older and you’re in a career as opposed to being a young person that is just starting out in life. Hang in there I am so very proud of you. Thank you for making this video and for sharing and caring about others.
You are a very brave person, Andrew! And I can relate to you totally! I'm ftm, pre-everything and 37, been working at the same place for years, so a lot of people know me, my coworkers are like a family, and today me and my girlfriend have a 6 year anniversary. :) Everybody knows me as a "that girl with blue hair", but I know I'm a guy and always have felt like that. I'm not out yet, and won't come 'til I actually start my transition. Probably won't be for quite a while 'cause- like you said- it's time consuming to tell every one you meet who you really are. Thank you for sharing your story! We need all kind of trans people to be visible!
Forget about the job and what people think, it seems like it's minimum wage. Tell them until they get it. Don't suck it up, people gossip , it'll be easy for you.
