Dear Tyler, My name is Dominick and I am an in-the-closet FtM transgender. I would just like you to know that I watch your videos whenever I feel hopeless or alone. You help me remember that I am not alone in the world and that there is still hope for me in the future. My parents don't accept me for who I am (thus the "in-the-closet") and I don't feel safe coming out to my friends. Your videos always make me happy and I feel like I can survive anything after watching them. You are my hero. Thank you. -Dominick
Hi Dominick :) I know it's been 6 years and you're probably inactive, but if you do happen to see this, I hope life is going well for you! I remember seeing this comment maybe 2ish years ago and it's stuck with me for a while, I'm not sure why. Possibly because I relate to it. Anyways, I hope you're doing good!
@@maybe.yellow Hello! It’s been six long years but I’m doing really well. I’ve been out for almost two years now, on T for little over a month, and I have a top surgery consultation this December! I hope everything is going well with you too, thank you 🥰
@@dominickf9944 Congrats dude, I'm glad it worked out for you! good luck on top surgery, hopefully someday I'll be able to get that as well. Have a great day :)
That’s so cool I’m trans too and my names Dominic. I’m about to start testosterone soon. Im so happy to have this opportunity cause I know a lot of 13 year olds don’t get the chance to get gender affirming care and I’m just so happy 😀
I am not trans but I really respect trans people. I think you guys are amazing for what you're doing going out for what you want rebelling against society, and simply doing what makes you happy you guys are seriously so amazing.
Binding with a normal binder while swimming is very dangerous. I don't recommend it. It restricts movement and can cause damage to your chest. There are binders on the market that are specifically for use when swimming. They aren't great quality and cost can very, but the risk of hurting yourself or drowning outweighs most of the cons of the binder.
Jayce Montecinos bruh gc2b binders can be worn for swimming. The people who run the company say you can swim in them in the FAQ kind of thing on their site.
I live in south Florida and go swimming, snorkeling, diving, boating, or fishing every week with my water-centered family and what I find works for me is a sport bra or swimming binder under a rash guard or shirt and board shorts. A tip that I don't really see anywhere but is pretty much a must for me is that after you get out of the water, your cloths will be wet and stick to you which shows your curves and the breast that shows even while binding while also making you cold from wind, so if you can't immediately change after going in the water or are going on a boat, bring a jacket and put it on after getting out of the water. This works as a towel and because you were wet is not as hot as you would expect.
Jock straps help keep packers from floating away lol Also, wearing a binder then a loose tank top works for me. Then again, I can't swim well so I don't go in the water. Wet binders probably aren't the best
You, young man, are extraordinarily gorgeous - handsome, HOT. I mean, good crimeny, you're better looking than Brad Pitt. You could don the cover of any top fashion magazine and there is not a male celebrity drawing breath who could possibly be considered better looking. Okay, I HATE facial piercings but that's because your face is a raging masterpiece and your mouth is amazing. You're a raving stunner. I wish you all the very best that this life has to offer. You're adorable and so full of life and hope and promise - may you accomplish all of your dreams.
I got recommended this vid by a trans advice blog for passing in the summer and it's weird (and awesome/encouraging!) to see how far Ty has come in terms of video style and ofc also transition
i love you, bro. you're hilarious. :-) i actually just went swimming and used this awesome athletic stretchy venom (from spiderman) shirt that i got from walmart over my binder... totally worked... squeezed the hell outta me but it works. glad we're on the same page!
Hey Ty, i was just wondering but do you know how to make a homemade binder? My mom is against me being a trans and I kind of wanted to flatten my chest before school....high school....if you don't that's alright but if you do could you put a video up with the steps and stuff? thanks. ily. you're a great inspiration.
I made this comment 2 years ago and since then I've bought 2 binders, a packer, my mother uses he/him pronouns with me, and I've started gender therapy. It gets better guys ❤
Isaac B your last comment made me smile so much. and it gives me hope. I'm non binary and bisexual and not out to my family. I'm glad your mum is finally accepting her son. much love. 💛💛💛
I wear my packer in the pool. I use a cheap one because the chlorine will eventually kill it. I have packing high activity sports boxerbriefs under my swimshorts. I wear a compression shirt not a binder and while I am in the pool I do water strength training excercise before relaxing and hanging out. No one thinks anything of it. They just figure I'm winding down after a workout, but I also have a strong confidence and I think that makes a difference to how others react to me.
I never would have thought of a rash guard! I've always just wore a binder under a tshirt. It might be different in other places but lots of guys here wear tshirts while swimming here. It's still not comfortable but it works. I can't wait until next summer though! I'm having top surgery (my partner got his this summer, and we only had time off enough for one of us to heal before our summer classes began). I can't wait to just swim without feeling so constricted. xD
I'm a waterpolo player and I struggled with swimming but I have found a couple of things that work for me: - bandaids over chest nips and then a rash shirt/guard - full piece (female) swimsuit compresses the chest and then you can put board shorts and a rash shirt/guard over it (no one sees it and it's more comfortable than binding) - trunks or board shorts both work
The best combo I've seen is actually a sports bra under a thick rash guard. The binder probably looks better but for comfort sake the sports bra under the rash guard makes your chest pretty flat without squeezing the life out of ya :) Of course I have a smaller chest, I suppose for bigger ones it might not work as well...
Underworks sells binders that you can wear just for swimming. It zips in the back, and works great for me when I wear just a loose swim shirt underneath. It isn't too uncomfortable which is a huge plus. I'm a size 36C and it compresses great and with my speedo loose swim shirt it has me passing. Would highly recommend Underworks swimming binder, it works better then their other binders.
So I just started watching your vids, and I'm going to say. Thank you, you have given me a lot of amazing tips on how to pass, dress, ect; and I just really hope you can just kinda live your life and yeah...I'm kinda awkward with this but you probs get that I'm just trying to say thank you so much!
I'm on surf team, and I spend most of my time at the beach/ pool. At my house I just go topless and I made my own binder out of a pair of tights. It is easier to swim in and put under a rash guard because it only goes down to the chest.
I haven't swam since I was 10 and now being 17 I just went in my binder and a loose rash guard and yes it does stick and show stuff but rash guards dry easy so as long as you don't care what.people think or stay under water as much as possible than your good.
Where do you live, and how old were you when you got T? Because I can't get the shit until I'm 18... And it disappoints me a lot and you're 17 and you got T when you were 16 or so...
since im in swim at school i have the professional swim suit (it compresses well and you can wear other swim wear over it if you arent swiming competivly)
i am from Louisiana and of course my Southern Belle ways.....i thought it was a crawfish. lol the only thing that indicates it's not one, and that it is indeed lobster, is the shape of the claws.
Hi Ty. My name is Alee. Heres a little summary about myself. And I'm from a semi small town deep down in the Mexico-Texas border called Edinburg. I am 22 years old and all my life I wanted to be a boy. For numerous reasons but the most important one was to love a woman and for it to be ok with society. I recently, and although it might seem very strange , came across the ftms of RU-vid. I thought that only men could transition to be a woman. Now that I know that it can be possible I want to transition myself. As far as Ivan remember I've felt like a boy. When I went to high school I came out as a lesbian because it was very known around and accepted among my friends and acquaintances. So far I've had an ok life. But recently I've come across thoughts of being a mother. Yeah, it's crazy huh? Idk I feel like I want to have someone of my own before I start my transition. I don't, WHATSOEVER, want to have sex with a man but I do want a baby. Do you have any thoughts or maybe words of wisdom for me? I am completely serious about this issue and idk why I have this urge to talk about it with someone. But I feel like none of my friends would understand. Do you think you can help me? I can tell yore a very open minded and smart man. And I would really appreciate someone who is transitioning to give me some feedback on these thoughts.
That's actually a super normal biological response to getting over puberty. A maternal instinct is triggered that causes the want for motherhood so it's really not weird at all! It doesn't make your being trans any less valid. I think that if you want to parent a biological child, you should do it! And then transition. If that's what you think would be the best for you or make you the happiest :)
I just got a moister-wick athletic tee and put that over my binder. It's exactly what my bro does too. And then board shorts of course. Works perfectly and was $8 at Walmart.
For me, I have packing briefs (stitch up the front fly of a pair of boxer briefs and you're set) that I wear under my swim trunks and everything is in place and doesn't look offensive or weird.
Hi i just started watching your youtube, your such an inspiration to me. You have been through a lot but in every video i have watched you have a brave face! The first video i watched made me cry. Your such an inspiration to me! Keep in doing You!
I live in england and I have to deal with having PE twice a week, so what I do is I wear a sportsbra that's a size smaller than I need then I wear a t-shirt and I am fine. And I am kind of lucky cos I don't live anywhere near a beach or swimming pool so I haven't had to deal with that yet
personally I would have gone to ardenes or sports check & got a sports tank top.... it's made out of the same material as a sports braw.... it's not I promise! the one from ardenes covers my braw so it should cover ur binder.... or just wear t shirts although that feels weird in water so the sports tank top would be better & yes I have used mine as a bathing suit it works great😀 ps looken good dude
I'm from Germany and I'm going to have a trip with my class next week to Hamburg and we are going swimming... So what I do is wearing a normal swimmsuit and over it I wear swimming trunks? (don't know if that is correct I used a translator) and a T-Shirt... The swimmsuit itself is makink my chest flat... It is a swimmsuit you wear normaly when you are making swimming as a sport... so it works for me XD
That's the only thing I can do. .. I don't pass that well... I'm really tiny at people always know that I am biological female no matter how hard I'm trying. .. :/
My friend just put duct tape over her nipples so they wouldn't poke through her rash guard. Might hurt coming off later but it might be an option for some.well she is not FTM but she constantly has really pointy nipples in general that come through so hope it helps someone somewhere.
I can't swim either, absolutely hate swimming in general! I'm going on holiday with some family & there are a few pools & they are annoyed I don't want to swim in them ×)
My mom knows that I'm ftm she won't let me get a binder and she contacted the camp and made sure I get put in a girls cabin like how awkward is that gonna be
Ok, I have a serious question Ty, this is the first of your videos I've ever seen but you pass so well! How did you lower your voice to be so natural sounding? Like not a fat guy pooping voice, an actual male voice? It's beautiful~
Yo, where do ya get your clothes? and whats the best design? I'm just coming out but i haven't told my mother yet but i grew up with two older brothers so wearing guy clothes comes natural to me. But design and style wise i'm not the best at.
I wear one that velcros on the left side. It's painful because it's like a size too small for me now hah so usually I just wear a compression tank top or something to that effect
i've recently been in a supermarket in canada and there were lobsters in an aquarium which had a label attached to their wrist wich literally said "I love salt"... :DD poor little things
do you have any suggestions for finding guy clothes when you have hips/curves that makes things not fit or look weird? i have this problem often trying to find pants and shorts :/
I love wearing board shorts, but I feel like they make my hips look really huge, and I can't really put anything in the pockets cuz my hips are over the way 😔 God i hate my hips
