BRACE. Trans short film, 2014 

@@Tom-cn4cm i'm bi, but if a dude is with a dude, there is nothing straight about that

T4t relationships are some of the best, I've been in one and it was honestly my best relationship

Thank you for sharing that with us. I was in tears after watching this short film and needed to know that it's not always like that. 💜

Ya some people can get dysphoric but it's also easier because then partners understand how they both feel and can usually help easier

to be honest i don't understand the perspective that being with another trans person would make someone dysphoric. i wanna empathize but i really don't get it. and even if it would cause some dysphoria, i feel that's literally nothing compared to the abuse and disrespect trans people can face on a daily basis trying to date cis people. at least if you get dysphoric your partner will understand the feeling. but if you date a cis person and your dysphoria kicks in, they will never quite know what it's like.

You got me, you're right sir

Dream 20 EVERYONE deserves love, no matter their gender, race...WHATEVER... I can’t even begin to think what people go thru who r ostracized, shown hate instead of luv. My heart goes out to each and every one of u. It takes courage to b who u r sometimes...if only u were given support and luv on the way .... Try not to live w/regrets. We need to tear off our shackles, embrace the new person we r striving to b and DONT look back. We cannot live for other people. If u do, u will lose yourself in the mix. I feel nowadays for every step we take forwards, we r taking ten steps back... I don’t understand HATE, I never will. It sickens me. It turns a persons soul and nrg (energy) black like the moonless nights. I pray all u tortured souls find peace, happiness and luv in your life and heart Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs and all that stuff

@@GEGE-bx3fj Thank you so much ❤ I really needed this and your comment really brightened my day. Hate is what weak people use to feel powerful. I keep telling myself this. Their hate doesn't define us. I know myself I'm a normal human being with dreams and I'm good and I deserve to be here. I won't let their hate erase my identity or my right to exist and to be happy. Sending you much love and support. ❤

Dream 20 As dumb as this sounds, every day take time out to sit down, p/u a pen and write down what u r thankful for. Even if it’s something s simple as taking THAT shower. Slowly all these positive thoughts will start to override the negative emotions u r going thru. I promise it works but a person needs to b diligent, stick w/it as it does take TIME for it to work .,.. (Depending on how far down the drain pipe u have traveled) I luv your attitude. Keep telling yourself that u MATTER Surround yourself w/friends who r your FRIENDS... they r the ones who will stick w/u no matter what. They ask for nothing in return ... Whatever u r going thru I hope and pray u have the love and support of your family. If u don’t, then they aren’t much of a family are they ??? It’s a child’s inherent wish to please their parents...however there comes a time when a child must take a stand and become their OWN person. We are not put here to please other people. That will cone naturally and w/grace if a person is shown luv and respect. If we aren’t shown that, it turns to distrust, hate and all that’s negative... A person can try and make amends but if it’s not accepted, don’t beat yourself up. U did your best, NOT them. Time to move on. Don’t settle for anything less ... one day the right person will be there for u. I keep saying this, but try not to live w/regrets... Try and stay positive. Be happy Be well Be at PEACE fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs and all that stuff

Dream 20 Thank you so much for the lovely comment!😊

Bryce W. I was that way for years, but things will get better! There are good, loving people out there, and you just need to find them. Wishing you all the best man!

Bryce W. Aww

You are right, I didn't thought that this shows more than the exterior transformation... Also this film shows two uncommon things that I've never saw on a screen: Being trans and being gay at the same time. Also shows the fear that We feel on the streets, the ridiculous discrimination We can see even on hospitals. You can see why so many lgbt+ people end up on drugs, bars and places alike, they give us refuge.

I am a teenage girl who is trans, I want to be a male, and I haven't told many people about this, and I want to feel accepted, and more people accept me than I do myself, so it feel good to know there are people just like me❤❤❤❤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@@gamerslove8227if you ever want to talk with some one I will be here for you

You're still human

@@orangetheog Thankyou

Thats why i never tell any1 that im trans. Unless they ask it.

@@Daisy-pr5bj sadly that's for the best

My brother is trans and some nurses will treat him like shit, a dental assistant "forgot" to give him pain shots after she found out his name is Oliver, and not the name on his paperwork. Absolutely sickens me.

dvp458 I understand that. I said I was sad about it, not that he was transphobic because of it. People can be sad if two people they shipped together don’t end up together. I was simply stating I was sad about it. I did not blame Rocky.

FINALLY is everyone seeing this, cause this is the the whole shitting truth right here everyone is JUST a human being but be warned...making mistakes, like judging, is also what makes us human

ŁUKASZ Fantini Yeah! Your the joke! XD Everyone is human ya dingus

Thank you

@@deadbrew6867 u are garbage.

or being in-human

Me too. If you're transphobic, don't be a nurse.

YES, she's literally a medical professional, she should be educated in this topic... I'm so pissed at her and people like her xD

i wanted to back hand slap her so hard cause she reminds me of someone i know

Same

Shrek Shreksson ughh the fact that she kept calling him a “she” “her” and disrespecting him was throwing me off 😬✌🏾

janeen2311 This is SO true!

Nah you're not a freak, people who think they are freaks in a negative way dont make sense to me I'm glad you're proud of your amazing identity, at the end of the day we only have ourselves :)

sam langevin Thanks so much!

sam langevin they always say it’s just a phase Like bitch please if it was I would be perfectly healthy and not stay up all night crying over my body and how I am not who I really am

You’re really lucky to be accepted by your mum, I’m really scared of telling people

@@boiledkettles6066 my friend ordered me a binder and my mom got to it before me and she yelled for me to come down stairs and when I did and I saw the binder on her lap I froze with fear,she then started to yell at me for the binder and her and her fiance said that that is something I ask them to buy but like I *would* IF I felt safe,loved,accepted,and supported by them but *NO* they know and have known for a *LONG TIME* that I am trans and I have had my friend tell my mom I'm trans but she still continues to buy me feminine clothing,deadname me,and misgender me and is so freaking annoying and I'm just so tired of it (this was 2 days ago) (12/7/20)

Taehyung's cat For Life I’m sure you’re beautiful

@@yeeyee8314 nahh but thanks

I relate 💯 percent

In the photo u look good

I reject it, bcuz I am unable to bind my chest. So, when a guy likes me, he doesn't even see me for myself. What's the point

Self-hate is harder than homophobic fists.

وووووووو

dang thats a twist. i need to stop reading the comment section before watching the video.

David Vanpatten an Ftm trans MAN who likes MEN would be considered gay.

@@bcbock some people aren't comfortable in a TLT relationship and that's okay

Hi hot daddy

Hi

Pero Schmidt Normal is what we make it

As Morticia Addams said "the spider's normal is the fly's chaos" normal is defined as common

Normal as in just blend in. Not be the one who stands out in a bad or “abnormal”way. When so much of the world is cis and binary...it is very difficult to even be a trans person who is trying to go with the binary flow. Anxiety and dysphoria make so many of us trans people not want to celebrate ourselves and how unique and more rare we are...as compared to cis binary types. So most of us spend far too much time just wanting to be looked over and blend in with the crowd. Not be on the receiving end of questioning and wondering looks that most of the time transform into fear and hate that can quickly turn into aggression. Too often being trans feels like wearing your deepest and darkest insecurities on a t-shirt and hoping no one laughs, points, looks disgusted, gets offended, turns mean or calls you out...in a public place.

Maybe what he/she was saying was the he wish he had not cut his.

&: THAT, me friend, is NORMAL!

Confusing

Just a stranger on the internet, but much love and respect to you Steve! ❤

Yeah it's hard for trans guys especially gay ones because we get hated by the gay community coz we don't have a bio dick so some gay cis guys won't date us like it really sucks, I haven't watched the movie yet but I can already tell imma cry lol

Benny R boo back off

@@riverday4783 I did not know this! Why they treat you like this! I mean I respect you guys so much but gay guys have been through a lot. They should know for better how you feel...I hope from my deepest hearts for the they you guys be respected for who you are.🧡🧡🧡🧡

@@benjaminreyes3624 you are so right. But hating is a different matter. No one should be hated...not gay guys who I love a lot and respect them even more for they fought their way to be right here standing with their heads up(i know it is still hard but da...things are much better now) not even trans guys.

@@benjaminreyes3624 we aren't women. Just say 'I'm not into trans guys because I don't prefer vaginas' if you have to but saying we're women is just not based on biological evidence. Some trans guys have penises and no uteri, some cis women don't have uteri either. Intersex people are a thing. And science is about keeping an open mind when presented with empirical data. Before we learned about germs, did they still exist? We learn more about biology, DNA and neurology more every year. I'd suggest you try to keep up.

With your support and love, she’ll be just fine.😀❤️

Ma’am I do not wish to be rude, but as a pre transition trans male, um, you said “she’s my beautiful baby boy” you used female pronouns while speaking about your trans son, I don’t wish to be rude, I just wanted to point out the little mistake…

@@Seth-lq3uw Let's keep in mind this is a new experience for this person and they're trying very hard to be good and supportive and are watching things about the trans experience. Let's also keep in mind we don't know their child's preferences yet and that pronouns don't equal gender, and that their child may still want to use specific pronouns for now for various reasons we don't know. ❤

@@bandichree Ik, I was just using precaution, sorry if I offended anyone

Please support him/her I got harassed at school today and it wasn’t fun:(

I'm all in with you, man, but I prefer 'acceptance' than 'tolerance' any day.

Yes Peter......perfectly said

Hi. Joint. Mi

Ola

Thanks buddy! Hope you're good. :)

el stupid You and me are the same

We are all !

I literally never leave my house unless I have too

Exactly! But now for spring bream ima go roller skating at least 2 times a week

Lmao during covid anyone leaving their house.

NeonPegasus Thanks so much!!😊

NeonPegasus i agree!

Dear god, yes. This is just like back when gay people in movies always died and never got a happy ending. Like when Brokeback Mountain was the best representation EVER. That's not quite what you said in your comment, I'm just adding to it because I, too, found it pretty triggering and now I sad for no good reason (as in there's nothing good being done by my feeling this way). And I'm an ftm married to a gay cis guy, feeling socially accepted - so how triggering would I find this if I were unhappily single?

Sssss❤ssss ❤

I definitely understand your struggle. But seriously, what is “normal”? I’ve learnt that suppressing how you feel in the long run will make it a hell of a lot worse if you let it go on.... you’re only on this rock once 😉

Same

I hope you will, you have the right to be you! Love 😘

Rein know that no one is normal or perfect . your Imperfect is your strongest weapons.

itll be okay i promise ❤️😌

monal Pattanaik Thanks so much!!

Thank you

I hated myself more than society ever could, I called myself a freak, an abomination of god among other things.. I held so much hate for myself & im still disgusted by the person I used to be.. but I still feel that hate I held in my heart for most of my life in fleeting moments every once in a while. Im in a much better state of mind nowadays, happy pride!

Thank you so much!!

He'd be Gay becuase the trans guy is a guy

I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine. I hope you can stay safe and maybe one day go somewhere where you will find love and acceptance. Sending love.

You Have no idea How Deep This Comment Hit Me...😢😢💗

Nice 😋💋💋

Néli Nels Thanks so much for watching!😊

...me too

Don’t be afraid to be your self !!! And fuck what people think about you! Be happy and love your self the way you are ( sorry for my english im from belgium)

I understand that. But there are or will be people that love and accept you and i hope one day you will be one of those people

Big love and support to you ❤️

PAL ME TOO. being genderfluid can be the absolute pits. i've started to wear more masculine "women's" clothes, which seems to be helping, and letting myself have more feminine mannerisms whenever i feel comfortable enough. i've also started dabbling in masculinising makeup, and i suspect a good wig will be next. it's so hard to know what's going to be good or bad! my inbox is open for you. there are a few facebook groups i can suggest, but please 100% know that you're not alone!

What does dysphoria mean?

Thanks for watching, Tod!

Thanks so much!!😘

agreed, but you should also be somewhat self aware. chest binding is fine as long as you bind safely. you csnt just wear it 24/7 and ignore the risk, though.

That’s a mood

Thanks so much!!

Looks have nothing to do with whether or not you are able to love and accept yourself.😊

Angelic Exo-L 6104 you just misgendered them. If you respect your sibling you’d refer to them correctly even when they aren’t around to hear it. If they’ve told you it doesn’t matter what you call them I promise they are catering to your needs and not taking care of their own. Don’t contribute to the problem

Thanks so much! :)

Madelief Girl About to make a proof of concept short film for my feature! Stay tuned..!😉

Por fin alguien que me aclarara la película , no entendía ni mierda que pasaba, además la traducción de Google es muy mala.

Thanks so much! That means a lot. :)

and maybe he was thinking that if he falls in love with another trans guy that would make him accept and love himself the way he is.. which is something that he never did before (because of all the hate he was used to receiving) and that scared him in a strange way.

Sometimes when you yourself are trans it can be harder to date someone else who is also trans because in a way you’re taking their worries and dysphoria with your own which in a way could make it worse or maybe it’s because he’s grown to have such a deep hatred for being trans that he doesn’t want to date someone whose trans

maleficent 349 you are normal and I know, as a trans guy, it’s hard for you to love yourself even if you think you’re a freak or not normal. But you are who you are and what society thinks is normal shouldn’t stop you from being who you are. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
