Coming out, no matter what, is hard. And let's just say this video was a long time (not) in the making. If you made it till the end and you still want to stick around. Thankies, I luv u Twitter ► / scribblyhoots
so it's.... not.. just me.... gd I swear a.i seems to be doing one thing right.... and...maybe not always positive, but, it's bringing all of us together and I think we can all agree how important a bit of unity goes am I right? ^-^
Hey, thanks for supporting your sister. Please don’t listen to the other people here saying it’s a mental illness, it’s not (even though I’m certain you already know that)
The whole "im still me" part really hit close to home. I myself had an argument with one of my closest friends bc he was scared i was gonna become a completely diffrent person etc. Ill admit that was quite probably one of my worst days yet. It was extremely transphobic and sexist of him but i belive he just didnt know any better and it was coming from a place of fear. Nevertheless we managed to work through it and its fine now.
dang...yeah:c And of c it wasss, I doubt your friend would purposefully hate you for bulletpoints they haven't looked into.... :( just another one of the many "hard" "parts"....:c you have to explain all of these things v carefully and evwn tbo we may be fluent...from being in the closet for years, but, we have to be patient with them. for the good of the whole community, we have to.❤ they aren't going to know anything we would about say Indonesia or some place that other ppl could des rise to a T, but we just haven't been there.. :/ Anyone reading this, still trying, you got this. Things WILL get better, and you are likely to only see yourself get happier. Please, do what you can fo stick it through, if it's who you truly feel is you, be you :3 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵✌️
Well, looking at the loudest "trans" voices, I totally get why he would think that. I don't know if you've seen it, but there IS a gender cult/religion that is absolutely fanatical, and I've had the misfortune of seeing some of my friends get sucked into it. The problem is, most of them aren't actually trans, they just change definitions around so they can "identify" as anything but cis. And they have extremely sexist ideas and base their "trans identity" entirely off of stereotypes.
Turned 30 & within 4 months, came out to my wife as a transwoman. I’m still the same person, as she has said, just finally comfortable with who I am inside. Admittedly, I look a little different, lost over 120 pounds, and it’s like a weight was lifted from me.
I couldn't help but smile throughout this whole video, there's something really beautiful about seeing somebody be so brave to come out and it probably doesn't mean a lot coming from me but I'm really proud to hear that you're doing something not just true to yourself, but something that will make you happy. I wish you the absolute best of luck with everything, and if it means anything this doesn't change anything at all to me, you're still an awesome creator who inspires me a lot, no matter how it is you feel. Take care
@@ScribblyHoots Awww, that's really touching to hear, never really thought me leaving some comments of supportcould make a difference, heh. But I'm really glad to hear that me saying this has made you feel good, and trust me it doesn't change a thing about how much I'll enjoy your content!
This is straight up the first video I have ever seen from you. I know I am very late to the comment party, but I cried so fucking hard and still am while watching this. I am going through the journey of coming out as transfem right now and it is really nice seeing videos of others going through the same. Thanks so much.
aww friend.. I remember what it was like starting out, when I sat making this video. I'll never forget the emotional rollercoaster of those first few months. Just remember, that even if it feels incredibly overwhelming at times. Then it does get better and you will feel happier down the road
@@ScribblyHoots Hey I know you probably will not see this but I figured I'd just say it. It seemed like the perfect video to talk about it on. I'm 15 and a junior in a high school. The summer before my junior year, so just a couple months ago, my very religious parents found out that I was a transgender girl. They found out and said that I was being manipulated by all of my friends. It was an hour and a half conversation where they told me the same stuff over and over, pushed bible verses in my face, and asked me questions about my identity that I didn't even know the answer to yet. For example, "Why are you trans?" My response: "Idk it just feels right" Their response to that: "That's not a good enough argument. Try to convince us why we should let you be trans." You get the point. That was in July. They made me block all of my LGBTQ friends that were the only people I actually talked to, they made it so I couldn't leave the house alone or stay home alone, and they're also making me read this awful devotional thing that has a daily bible verse in it. (I can never remember to do it cause of ADHD). They made me go to two youth groups as well. They're pushing their faith onto me when I was never sure about my faith in the first place. Now, school has started and it feels like they are breathing down my neck. If I do anything that isn't classes, my parents need to know about it. Any clubs? They have to email the teacher to make sure I'm at the club. Which makes me look terrible in the teacher's eyes and makes me seem untrustworthy. I have to deal with that, as well as other little things that just make the whole thing infuriating. Recently I also figured out that I'm bisexual which doesn't bode well for me and my religious parents. My parents ruined my mental health this summer, making me feel more anxious and depressed than ever before. Luckily during the summer, I had one person to talk to that my parents didn't see as an LGBTQ person so I could hang out with them and they agreed with me that my parents were being way overkill. They say they're doing this because they love me. They say they're doing this to protect me. But I'm not feeling any love. And then after this, they have the gall to say, "Come to us if you need to talk about anything. We won't be judgmental." Yeah right. Anytime I tell them anything, I get told that what I believe is wrong and I should believe this instead. That's the reason I only talk to my friends. They don't judge me for who I am. Ok I know that anyone reading this (which probably no one is) has gotten pretty bored by now. So I'll end off this rant here. But it's been 2 months and I still feel awful and trapped. If anyone has any advice let me know. Ok thank you! -Madeline Edit (Also it doesn't help that every family member on both sides of my family are Christian).
@@cosmicsunset1225hey idk what advice I can offer but I just wanted to say I read your comment and wish you the best with your current situation. It will get better and your identity is valid regardless of how your environment is making you feel. Good luck
@@cosmicsunset1225 I'm really sorry, no one should force you to go through that, much less your parents who are meant to be the people who care for you most. You do not need to justify how you feel to anyone, gender and sexuality are complicated topics, and everyone, literally everyone, will have a different experience. That said, I don't really know what to suggest. You don't deserve what is happening to you, and I wish you the best of luck
@@mindcraft4362 Thank you so much! I kept putting my story on comment threads hoping someone would see it and you answered all my hopes. Thank you so much for trying to help. And it's ok that you don't have any suggestions. Thank you so much for seeing this and replying! You're amazing thank you so much again! I'll make it through this I just gotta keep going and eventually I'll be on my own out in the world away from my parents. Have a good rest of your day and if you need to know anything else, I'm addicted to screens so I'll always be ready to reply! -Madeline
i am a trans girl lesbian ive told my girlfriend a while ago, im so nervous to tell my mother and family, i will push through though, i hope you are doing well. good luck
@@atomix2-24I know right, it's crazy how people have to be nervous about coming out, it really should be normalised cause its not like people just randomly choose to be gay or trans, instead it is just an innate part of them that has no cure because it is not a disease and doesn't need a cure
@@atomix2-24 wow you deleted your reply, anyway everything you need to know about what I said in that reply is in that reply so just read again you might then understand
I'm a trans man who had a lot of issues when I was coming out to my family. No matter what happens, who you are, who you will become, you're still perfectly valid and the only thing that matters is you feeling your best self. I always had a feeling of belonging when watching you in the past, and now I understand why I related to you. Welcome out into the sun, Scribbs, and you will forever have a home with us.
that's completely fine, Scribbs. Don't make too much fuss about the haters. Your true fans, like me. Will always have your back Scribbs. We love you, no matter what person you think you are. Keep living on, and making videos, Scribbs. Love ya man. Don't stop believing.
It’s not that much of a spoiler. It would have been more of a spoiler if it was clips from the CORE. And summit is a really nice part of the game, really ties the video together
I don't normally comment here but I felt it was just. Congratulations on coming out. According to many trans folks I know, coming out is the hardest bit. I know it, they know it and you know it too. People seem to think it's going to cause roadblocks and just sadness but there are always good bits. And it'll only get better. Congratulations again. Hope you enjoy your day. From a fan.
Something you said that really resonated with me is the fact that you were afraid that you were trans. I felt that way too and I still feel that way now. I feel like there’s not enough discussion of what it’s like to figure out your trans, especially how for some of us it’s really not obvious and it’s hard to figure out, and even harder to admit to yourself.
No, the problem is there's WAY too much discussion of it, and it's something you cannot possibly understand without experiencing it. So people who confuse it with gender nonconformance inevitably take center stage, and it didn't resonate with me at all. I also don't appreciate constantly being reminded of something that really bothers me.
Just after reading the title of this video, I couldn't help but saying "yeah I know" out loud. I'm a trans girl who very recently came out to my family, and even after doing it, it's still hard. My mom has apologized in advance for misgendering and deadnaming me, but my dad (who very much could come to terms with it easier) seems to have taken this as a sign to keep living life as if nothing happened, so he deadnames and misgenders me as well. I know I told them I'm not suicidal or anything, but that doesn't mean I don't feel awful every time they call me to dinner or something. Plus, now that it's christmas there's a lot of family events coming up, so I have to get all my courage toghether to come out (even if just by wearing a skirt) to ten or more people at a time. I really hope this gradually changes over time, but I guess I have to take the initiative. It still sucks tho.
I know friend.. I go through the very same problems with my family in the holidays. Them treating me that way, doesn't change or affect who I am. But that doesn't change the fact that it hurts. I hope this Christmas will be kinder than the ones before and that life will make it easier to be yourself moving forward. You're a beautiful woman, and you shouldn't have to argue about that with anyone. Wish you the very best, and despite everything, then I hope you have a kind and happy holiday
I understand this entirely, and I understand how hard it is to say this type stuff to others. I don't have the motivational or emotional power to do this, to do what you did, but I'm so glad that you are able to take the biggest step and move on. Thank you, Scribs. I'm happy for you, and I'm here to support you through it all. Much love, no matter the choices you make.
This is the first time I'm seeing a video of yours, you are so brave I came out about more than a year ago and started transitioning last year, I'm here to support you sister, ILY 🥺😭💖
Just like with all videos like this, my mind is broken. I've been having this question in my head for longer than I can remember and everytime I think I have it clear, I hear someone else's story and think "why haven't I felt what she describes? why haven't I felt anything in particular when everyone else says they cried? Am I really or just pretending to be to myself?" My head is a mess, a constant back and forth. I don't know anymore if anything I think I felt is real.
just because you haven't had some insanely horrible feeling doesn't mean you are faking it or anything, focus more on what makes you happy and associate with that rather than focusing on not associating with what doesnt
@@zuxg4me Dysphoria can really vary between trans people, and it's not uncommon to experience none at all! So don't worry about faking it, as long as you're living the identity or gender experience that brings you happiness, then that's all that matters
I can relate to this so much and I am very certain in my identity as a trans girl. I had so much imposter syndrome and constantly compared my experience to others, I would have days of feeling horribly dysphoric and the very next day I would be worrying if it was the "right" kind of discomfort and if I was a "real" trans girl. Early on I had almost no frame of reference because the few examples of trans people I had were fictional and given to me by cis people. It's been almost a full year since I first seriously started questioning and I feel like a completely different person in some ways, but exactly the same in others. But at the end of the day the biggest thing that helped me know who I am was just learning more about gender as a whole and realizing that I *can* be a girl if I want to. That there aren't any prerequisites, no tests, no final answer that anybody can give me to prove that I am or am not a girl. I can just be who I want to be, and I now know who I want to be.
all you said in these little 8 minutes of video resonated with me at a fucking molecular level. Yes, i'm still the same person, i just know better how to express it, don't worry mom. No, it's of course not a choice, it's a scary and difficult path that, if I had the coice to NOT make, I would take this possibility right away. And finally, it's indeed so liberating to come out, even if some people will discuss it, not understanding that it's not up for debate, it's just who I am So yeah, i clicked on this video without a second thought, just searching something to watch, and I'm glad I watched this video out of all of the other
I'm truly happy to hear my story has resonated with you. Really warms my heart at the thought I might have helped someone, if even just a tad. Wish you all the best in your journey friend
Thank you so much for this video! ❤ Video games, movies, and music have had such a huge impact on me but this one in particular hits home hard for me. It feels so good to hear someone else with the same struggles as me who overcame them❤ I'm a closeted 17-year-old trans girl and it's been really hard to accept myself. For basically my whole life, I've faced these feelings alone, from when I first felt like I was supposed to be a girl(around the age of 7) to when I started experiencing what I now know as "gender dysphoria". Later on, around the age of 11, I learned about the LGBTQ+ community, knew that I was trans, and saw it as something to be ashamed of. People at school are not super accepting of gay/trans people and I felt a lot of internalized transphobia. I've tried SO hard to push these feelings away over and over and over again hoping that eventually they would subside or go away. But I think that as I got older, it actually got worse. When I look in the mirror or at pictures, I feel a strong disconnect between my body and self-image. I'm not thinking that "I look ugly" but that I don't really feel like my true self. When I talk, I don't hear my true voice. Usually, gender dysphoria has been on and off for me over the years, going for a little bit and coming back to haunt me every so often. I usually can find some sort of escapism. For the past 6-7 months, however, it's been much more intense. It's been a constant thought in my head that I can't ignore or run from. I feel like I NEED to come out now more than I've ever felt. I plan to do so just to my mom and sister(who I feel safe with). I want to talk to a gender therapist or reach out for help in some way. Hopefully, that works. I think running from my feelings doesn't work. I've tried already my whole life and I end up in the same spot but further behind and in a worse condition. I've come to accept that the way I am is something not in my control and I shouldn't beat myself up over it. It's a fundamental part of my identity that I just can't ignore.🏳⚧
(Late comment as i just found this channel) As a relatively early teen, I've had difficult coming outs that haven't really worked out. I feel that part of that is because I'm not brave enough to stand up for myself. So for now, I just wait. It's all so overwhelming. I wish I could be as brave as you. It's so inspiring to see someone else do what i hope to do someday. Best wishes on being your true self. Thank you for giving me hope. - An aspiring closeted tranfem (srry for any typos, im tired)
Idk if I can say I started this journey of coming out as transfem cuz' im still closeted. But this video just came in the right time, the you saying "I'm still me" hit me so hard because I'm scared of being myself, I felt that being myself somehow invalidated me of being trans. But I dont want to feel that... Thx girl for making this video, idk if you'll see a 3 year old video comment, but im soo grateful of you opening my eyes "I can still be myself :D". And I hope someday coming out to and start living, like you did, like many others did.
Hey, fellow trans girl here! This is the first video i have watched by you, though i have no doubt it wont be the last. I figured out my gender identity early on during the pandemic and have been working my self through transitioning, with all the planning and contemplating it requires. What you say really resonates with me. Though i know next to nothing about you, i am very proud and happy for you. May we both have the best of luck in our future!
It took me decades for the stars to align and for me to finally come out to my family. But first i had to come out to myself, i had to give myself permission to be vilena in my head. That part was soooo hard.
Coming back to this video after a long time. Things didn't go so well. I ended up becoming depressed and alcoholic. Please dont come out unless you know your 100% safe. Dont make the same mistakes as me please be safe. Please
Hey Scribbs, I know I'm not trans but I have helped friends who have felt the same thing. I just want you to know that hey... You are who you are no matter your gender. You deserve the love and acceptance that people that are cisgender and genderfluid and of the such. Thanks for being who you really are ^v^
I am aware of the people who create the problems with coming out. I just wish my parents weren't part of that group. You're lucky your parents were willing to accept you.
He is a... she! (At least I think that’s the transition, I may be stupid) I’m very proud of you, Scribbs!! This sounds like quite a big moment for you to share with your fanbase. Love u bb
i have no idea how this is gonna go so I'm just gonna say what comes to mind I'm also a trans girl, and I also have absolutely no idea how to start transitioning or anything lol. I've only come out to my parents and my recent therapist that I've started having sessions with, and I'm just scared to come out to the rest of my family and whoever else...you're really fricking brave to come out to 14.4k people like this, I could never imagine doing this! I didn't think about whether I was trans or not for as long as you; I only started thinking about it at the beginning of this year, which I guess is sort of a long time... You're honestly one of my most favorite youtubers to watch. You're funny, your editing is funny, you're really relatable, and you really are very open to your subscribers :D Thank you so much for all the fun and laughs you've given to us over the years! I hope you can still feel comfortable making videos and stuff now that you've told us about this; you're someone I admire, and I admire you so much more now! I'M GOING TO SUPPORT YOU AS MUCH AS I CANNNNN! But now that you've admitted that you are a girl to yourself and us...have you ever thought about drawing how you'd want to look? That might be a good idea for a video :3 Love you, Scribbs - keep doing what you're doing and being you :D thank you again for just being an awesome person!
Well then we're in a boat of the same make, you and i! ^^ Don't worry. Some people have had transgender thoughts since they were ten, and others start to embrace it after just a few months. There's no timer that makes you more or less you, friend
Congratulations on coming out! (Especially on RU-vid.) I can't imagine how much courage that must have taken... But know that I'm extremely happy for you and that I support you 100%. Also, I wish you the best of luck with the challenges that lie ahead! (•̀ᴗ•́)و
im transmasc and have been for almost 3 years and i dont know when i’ll come out. last pride month i said i would, this pride month i wanted to, i couldnt
take care of yourself and do it when you'll feel like to do so. you don't need to wait until next year or do it in a particular occasion, so that you have no external pressure (if you feel like doing it in particular occasions, go for it tho) hope everything will be okay, take care^^
@@sadik170 oh !! i forgot i made this comment! i actually came out a week after this, i think? ive realized being Nonbinary feels a little better, and my parents support me! ❤️
This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and I want to wish you well and hope that you are doing well today! It's great to see people just be themselves and be honest to their audience, and you seem genuinely great. I'll check out some of your other videos, and I wish you the best day!
I've been watching trans content for two days straight, I'm starting to doubt my entire life so much that I get anxious when I see my reflection in shops windows.
i still have no idea how to start. how to tell people. idk if it's too late. i'm 21 and i feel like my life is chosen for me. my mom wouldn't hate me but she'd lose both her sons to becoming daughters and idk how i'd ever tell her. idk what to do man i'm proud of you and i hope you're doing well today and i hope i can have a happy story too.
21 is not even close to late!0 I believe in you! And while I know this might come as a surprise to your Mom. Then in the end, wouldn't your Mom want you to be happy and feel at home in yourself?
I haven’t come out yet and I’m pretty scared too. I already feel very isolated as is and I feel my whole life has been ruined by other people. It’ll be hard to build from the ground up, but I know I have to do it for my own happiness. That’s kinda why I love and relate to Celeste
An honest, eloquent and thoughtful presentation. I too started my medical transition last summer, and yeah...there's lots of 'stuff' to work through, and your mother is just looking out for you. A choice in their eyes, but unlikely in ours. It's who we are. I loved your presentation....nonshouty, no fast editing cuts, just a normal video from extraordinary you. I mean, everyone on this planet is extraordinary....it's just that you 'chose an authentic life' above all else. Blessings to you!
i am a straight cis white man and i also want to tell you you are valid and supported. i know this comment is mega late, but i wanted to tell you anyways.
@Mira Sayushi see i think both of you are wrong. gender identity is not chosen, it is experienced. some are born in the wrong body (trans), some just dont always agree with the body (fluid or non binary/agender) they have, and some are just happy the way they are (cis) Personally, i think the representation the LGBT community gets nowadays combined with the sheer amount of subcultures and very vocal minorities gives it all a bad light, when it is mostly in reality just people trying to come to terms with themselves
thank you so much for your video. i identify so much with how youve experienced keeping your identity inside and how stifling it was. thank you for your courage. im coming out to my family in the weeks to come.
Well, congratulations first and foremost. It's unimaginable how difficult a step this must've been before the fact, and now I wish you good luck going forward. And no, I don't intend to stop watching your videos, even though I don't often actually leave comments. Still around and still enjoying your content.
Here i am 3 months late watching this but, i am so happy for you. I know from personal experience that doing this sort of thing is terrifying, heck when i came out to my irl friends i had to drop it as a joke just so i could sneak it past my brain like it wasn’t a big deal, of course immediately after i felt so anxious about it afterwards that i straight up had to lay down for fear that i was going to pass out. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to come out to a group of people on the internet let alone my entire family. That part that you said about “if there was a person afraid of being trans it was me” hit me really hard. TLDR: this is truly inspiring and i am glad you got through this, it may inspire me or other people to come out as well. And i can really connect with alot of what you said here. I wish the best to you on your journey of becoming more you.
I'm scared to come out, the idea of the danger I could be put in and the judgement I could get is terrifying. Just for being a transmasc. On a side note, I'm proud of you girl 💙
I gotta be honest, I got really lucky myself. I mean, I just straight up felt like wearing a dress one day, for fun, and then mom was the one who explained to me what trans is a week later, starting the realisation. Basically, I didn't need to come out in the first place cause my mom found out before I even had the chance to find out for myself. On the other hand I was in a highly homophobic and transphobic group home at the time, so not even having the chance to get into the closet before getting out of it had its consequences for sure. (Note: group home means I wasn't living with my mom but in psychiatric care at the time in this case, my mom and dad are not homophobic, don't worry)
It’s great to see that you could bring yourself to come out. I definitely see how difficult it must have been for you, but just know that we accept you for who you are. Do not be too scared of the roadblocks you will encounter, you just overcame one of the greatest. Congratulations and the best wishes to you for the future!
Just randomly came across this by the algorithm, but it genuinely made my day so much better. Thank you so much for your courage and example to all of us, you are making the world a better place!
wow. thank you for sharing this. I know it couldn't have been easy back then, but I hope you're doing well. I was just watching cute videos of blahaj and this came up. also I've been recommended celeste and this looks super fun!
Ah, got me tearing up there eheh.. I always looked up to you and felt some kind of,, connection. Well, now I know what it was, and I still look up to you. As someone who recently found out they're trans, seeing and hearing this, really helps and means a whole heck to me. I fully support you and hope your journey goes well as the rest of your day/evening :) -lots of love, Seth
Aww, Seth! You're a beautiful person and you have no clue how happy it makes me feel to hear that my coming out could give someone a point of connection. I'm so happy for you, and I wish you the absolute best of luck with everything on your road ahead. Do you have any newfound pronouns by the way? (if you don't mind sharing of course)
@@filmbadgerstudios1744 honnestly the only person that weren't super accepting are my parents who keep deadnaming me and using he pronouns. I have to tell them again next time I see them. Other then that only some outlier friends were weird about it
The RU-vid algorythm doing its job really well recommending this video to me while I'm trying to construct a way to come out as trans to my close family members myself.
Hey, just know that all of us in the PA community will support you wholeheartedly Scribbs. I know myself all too well how hard it is to come out from when i told my parents i was genderfluid, so it is really amazing to see how strong you are in doing this on a scale like this. So yeah, wish you the best of luck with everything to come, and want you to know we'll all be here and support you the whole way!
This is the first video I’ve seen from you, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. I relate to a lot of these things, like when you get that sudden burst of motivation to talk to family, and the being afraid I was trans (and I definitely cried a whole lot). Now that I’ve done it, it really does feel like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I can be myself around family and friends without having to be super attentive towards my language. It can be a struggle sometimes, what with me being in high school and all that, but it’s also been great. Congratulations on continuing out (even tho this is super late). 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
This video came up when I searched for “Celeste transgender.” I was looking for a review of transgender themes in Celeste, not an earnestly uplifting coming out video. :) Seriously though, although this is my first exposure to your channel, as a fellow trans person, I'm really happy for you. I hope your journey has been wonderful so far - overall, anyway. I like this sincerity. I don't know what else you do, but I think I'll subscribe and find out. 😊 🍓
scribbs!! i'm so so proud of you ‹3 i've read your tweet yesterday and now i'm seeing your video, you're an awesome person and a wonderful content creator, i look up to. very very proud ‹33
I know it has been a long time you came out as a girl but I found you video today and today is the day where my mom accepted me and said was proud of me as her trans son I was as afraid as you were and now I feel safe I hope you feel safe and happy soon and your parents support you like my mom did I'm proud of you and proud of all our community ❤
That is absolutely incredible news friend, thank you so much for writing this. As a fellow trans person I can only imagine the happiness and relief you're experiencing hearing those words from your mom. This day is for you. Congratulations many, many times over
I remember finding your channel two years ago from this video, and I'm so glad I did. I'll also say that I totally get the hiding-your-emotions aspect of the whole process. I've been going through that for quite a while myself, it's rough stuff. I'm personally not going to be coming out anytime soon (until like, 2026), but your progression inspires me regardless. ❤️
(I get that this is a late response, this just appeared in my recommendations) I'm so glad that most of the comments are supportive or at least just a little confused. I'm Happy for you.
I know this video is already like 3y old, but I just wanted to say, I'm really happy for you, knowing you are being true to who you really are and, especially in the phase of my life I am currently, you inspire me a lot to also remain true to myself ^u^ As for how people make long coming out videos I have no idea either, I just made like a 5 seconds video and done TwT
I recently came out again to my parents, expressing that I had not changed my mind and that I wanted to transition. Things didn't go so well though and I found out that my dad is also a massive sexist and anti semite. While my mom comforted me and just expressed confusion my dad quickly got angry and lectured me for an hour like a child, talking to an almost 20 year old as if they're a brainwashed 5 year old. I would have fought back, but I was scared that he would break stuff. He was already slamming my desk after following me into my room when I got upset. Expressing this was something I had put off for so long, and now I regret doing so because of what a disaster it turned into.
Oh you kind soul.. I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's the terrifying thing about coming out. The uncertainty that it could go really well, somewhat problematically or really badly. And I'm sorry that you put your trust in your parents to hopefully be openminded, loving and supportive, as they should be as your parents. But that they, or at least your dad, failed you. I hope you find a bit of respite, in the idea that the uncertainty is gone, and that even if it's mess. Then you now know who you have in your corner, who will support you and that hopefully, you don't have to go through anything similar to this ever again.
I am also closeted as trans. Respect for the strength you have. Actually I came out to 2 friends but nobody else. I hope i get the strength to tell everyone some day.
You do you, do what makes you happy. We will support you still the end. Hope you are doing good. Don't forget to smile and be happy, that is the best medicine anyone could have.
I don't normally comment but I just wanted to say that I have been seeing your content for a long time and you really inspired and help me in a lot of ways (you were one of my main reasons that my english improved) and seeing you do such a brave thing is a realy breath taking thing. Congratulations I am verry happy for you! I will alwayes support you!
I’m so late dude. But I’m so proud of you for coming out even if this is my first video from you that I’ve seen! I came out as non-binary to my mom about two months ago and I’m really happy she’s accepting. It makes me feel comfortable in my own skin :). I’m glad you can, too.
I don't think ive ever seen you before, but congratulations. I think one of the scariest parts is people not perceiving you the same way. I worry alot that people will think I'm a different person. I am the same person as I was, just happier.
sending love from one trans girl to another... one good thing about covid was the fact that the quarantine has been making so many of us come to so many wonderful realizations about our gender identities
female scribbs?? 😳/j Ok but for real though, huge props for letting us know about this! I'm personally not anywhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, though I can still imagine how scary it probably is to come out. I'll definitely still be here to support you, even with this little change xd
Celeste is probably the game that has made me cry the most. I played it right after I started on hormones, so maybe that had something to do with it. it resonated so much with me, as I can imagine it has with you (judging by the video). I wrote a whole paragraph in Danish about how happy I am to see people like me come out and be themselves, being happy. idk why but I felt weird about possibly making the comment too personal by writing it in our obscure language that most of your audience can't comprehend. Anyway… I'm proud of you, in an internet-stranger-that-doesn't-know-you-personally sort of way.
This is your first video that I watch, i'm super late but I wanted to say thank you for your experience, this video is very important thank you❤ My first coming out to my mother didn't went well, that hurt so much, I was scared and angry. Hopefully now things are going well but if it hadn't been for people like you, that were sharing their emotions and their experiences everything would have been more difficult, ty🌟 Hope everything is fine for you
