(i know it's late) I can relate so much! I'm gender queer and my parents never use the right pronouns and call me nicknames I don't like and that kinda stuff.
I have to deal with my dad misgendering me all the time because he can't understand I'm trans and my anxiety holds me back from gaining the confidence to talk back about how my pronouns are he/him, not she/her. My mom's understanding and trying, but my dad doesn't bother like I'm magically gonna just gonna wake up wanting to be a girl but I'm not. I'm just not comfortable as a girl, it's not who I am. In fact, for the longest time *_I_* was the one trying to make *_myself_* believe that it was nothing that these feelings would go away. I forced myself to wear skirts and due to acting classes managed to act like I was fine with it but I wasn't, it didn't feel right. And then I started experimenting with pronouns after my friends suggested it to me and now I'm out as trans to my parents( *not out of state family yet hell no not mentally ready for that yet* ) but my dad isn't respecting that, he dead names me and everything and like- he KNOWS my preferred name and pronouns, he KNOWS. Yet he still doesn't call me those. I'm so uncomfortable at home cause I constantly feel judged for being myself from my own father Bonus: FOR TRANS PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN SURGERY AND ARE LOOKING FOR PART TIME JOBS OH WOW DO I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! Starbucks has a transgender employment insurance plan, where if transgender and working under Starbucks, they will cover the cost for gender reassignment surgery! Which can help you considering how stupidly expensive it is! I'm planning to work there myself if the interview goes well. EDIT: Just fixed a typo TwT
1, you are who you say you are and never ever listen to theta other people say to you. Youre perfect how you are! 2, ty for the bonus, that is so awesome!! I’m definitely gonna work there someday.
dont worrie my dad is like your's he wont shut up about me wanting to be boy, and i hate it every day this happens, he brings it up and doesnt forget about it, my mum does not under stand, she's getting me a therpist, they both wont me to change my mind, but im not going to, i wanna be Dusty not Zoe, their not in charge of my decisions and i HATE being Zoe She/Her, im so uncomfortable about my body, and i wanna change it, so, I'm Trans, and i hate my parents for they do every day to me.

@@chuchu9966 Pretty sure it is since Starbucks is a private business actually, not owned by a government. And the owners of Starbucks partnered with a transgender company, World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) which is why they have transgender benefits. They're their own business. They can't deny transgender people the benefits they have for it because of that partnership. In fact, it was even Starbucks themselves who reached out to that company as they had a transgender employee who they worked hard to get him money to help with surgery because he was a good employee, no matter what his gender was. So they helped him out. He's now a happily living transgender male and I believe he's married now too but still I think works at starbucks
@@milomikan8160 I’m so sorry to hear all this, but think about it this way okay? you’re gonna get out of this situation and you can be better then them!
YES DIS PERSON DIS PERSON RIGHT HERE SMART SMART AS HELL. (but then there is me just laughing at pepole who hate cause they only doing it for attention)
I dont hate trans or anything because They are humans too and we shouldn't hate them since there different (they also includes me im bi im not trans but i support it anyways)
Being referred to as “she” or “her” feels like cold water on my back. They/them feels like wet socks but he/him is like taking a bite of my favorite food when the temperature is just right and all the world feels like I belong.
I hate when people are like "but they/them is gender neutral" and insist on only calling me that, well, woop-dee-,fucking-doo, I'm not a gender neutral person. I am a man, so stop calling me they/them after I've told you my pronouns are he/him
as a person who was born a female and wants to be a male but isn't accepted, this hits hard. It feels great to feel wanted in a small way. I am so glad someone made this❤
I am currently still questioning if I'm trans and this made me cry sm. It hurts bcs if I am ok my family won't accept me. I love this cover, it's amazing
Hey! As another trans male, I absolutely support you, and you are valid! So no matter what people say, you are who you are and nobody can change that!!❤️
I want to come out to a server of 100+ people whom i take as family. Though, i also want to come out to my mother. But the thought of it keeps giving me anxiety, ever since my mother said "If you come out to me as trans, that's going to kill me!" Yes, she's transphobic. It's been a year os discovering and i cut my hair without her knowing. she's alright with it, but honestly...I want to wear less thigh jeans and a sweater, i'll probably ask my sister if she could send me some through online or so. Or when if i could come over to her over the summer. I'd like to spend time with her, and i want to feel more like myself too. She knows that im trans, i told her. She didn't know what to say, but she seems supportive and she's really kind and sweet.
@@angryaardvark4941 Yeah, i hope so. I got to know i'm kind of, agender. Although, i still hope she will. I didn't come out to anyone in the server either, i left it and left the app for awhile. Also, thank you for the heart .w.
I love the " *_HE_* " Part so much!! It's makes me happy, knowing your accepting of it and are using the right pronouns. (Idk if you sang this or not-)
Thank you for this amazing cover. I recently came out to parents as trans and even though they don't understand, they did it a way that luckily didn't harm me as they still think if i get diagnosed then it's real but until then they are just confused how and why
this is a really nice video and song, as me being a ftm teen living in a transphobic household. it’s so funny how a song can give someone so much comfort... it’s an odd sensation but it’s very empowering. and if anyone is going through the same as i am and living in any sort of phobic household, just remember that one day everything will be better and you won’t have to be around those people anymore.
I've been looking for something like this for so long, I actually cried.. thank you so much!! My parents have never understood me and they are always saying "You're only ten you can't decide that yet" but I cry every night in bed knowing that they can't understand me..
Well I get where they are coming from, 10 is pretty young. Maybe you should wait a few years and figure yourself out. I’m 13 and still figuring myself out! It takes a while buddy. ((Im not saying you aren’t trans.))
I remember coming here a few months ago, still a female, and seeing all the supportive comments. Coming back now, after realizing I'm trans and seeing even more support, makes me really happy to be me 💕
I'm a trans guy and this makes me so happy. Because I told my friends that I was trans and they still keep calling me a girl and I hate it when my parents say "this is our daughter" I go by Conner
As a transmasc, this song really hits me hard. Well I was still closeted and in denial, I listened to the lesbian version religiously. Then, as I started coming out, I found myself wanted a version for FtM trans people. This makes me so happy.
i showed my mom this even though i've already come out to her and she said, "well im still gonna refer to you as my first girl, you know i was so happy when i had you as a my first GIRL" lets just say im shaking rn trying not to cry
It's okay to cry... Also, your mom is stupid. You are a boy... If I read the comment right... Sorry if I didn't... She shouldn't call you a girl if your not comfortable with it... And if it's not true...
first time i heard this version i thought i was a bisexual cis woman, the second time and most of the times after i thought i was a pansexual nonbinary who used all pronouns, now i am listening to this thinking i am a pansexual trans man and who knows what will change in the future. BE WHO YOU ARE!!! dont let anyone tell you youre not something, because you know yourself better than anyone else!!!!
I absolutely love this. Thank you. It gives me more confidence as a trans male❤️ I go by Oliver now, and when my lifelong best friend calls me Olive I almost cry sometimes- I’m just so happy to be who I am. I hope to get surgery, or something to make me appear more male soon💕❤️ :] I’m gonna come out to my mother tonight, just saying, “Mom? I don’t feel female.” And I hope she’s accepting. I think she will be, because she always tells me “Hon, transgender people are just people who were born in the wrong body as the wrong gender. They’re just like us” and it almost makes me cry.
this video is amazing, it really makes my trans self smile that i can be accepted on the internet, because my family is pretty religious and very very very very very *very* strict and i'm scared of telling. one day a time ago i asked my mom if i can have boy clothes for my 13th birthday, and my big bro was in the same room as me. my mom mostly thought i was joking or something because she said yea in somehow a joke way, and my bro threated me to not wish for that. like, what has the way someone dress with their gender? even tho i'm trans ftm i still like skirts i might come back here to tell how the coming out to my family went irl after years
Hey everyone! Just coming to say you are loved and accepted by me no matter what! My name's Kaden but you can call me Kade! What's your name? Edit: ahh so many people are commenting I will try to respond to everybody but don’t feel left out if I miss you
You know... maybe your mom won't support you, but I will... I know what it's like because my mom doesn't support me... my friends are there for me and I'm thankful for them every day so I wanna be there for others... remember you're not alone... maybe your mom won't support you but I'm here and you are loved ❤❤❤
@@JapaneseCherryFrog Thanks. I'm grateful for the friends and people and my gf for supporting me... U r loved as well and anytime u wanna talk I'll be here for u no matter what. I just told my gf I'm trans and she's so happy for me and again thanks ❤❤❤
If she doesn't support you, you shouldn't care, she maybe did raise you, but if she doesn't love you the way you are, it was worthless. Be yourself no matter what others think, I'll always be there for you no matter what!!!
I’m a trans guy and this just made my day. I’ve been getting a lot of hate from everyone around me thank you so much for making my day. You earned a subscriber❤️
@@ebony9684 hey, just know, everyone else is here for you. Im currently in the state of debating if i should come out to my parents too. I came out as bisexual and my mom was really shocked, soo im not looking foward to this one. My mom may be more supportive than my father, as my sister has a trans friend and my father making a weird face when she asked if she can come over. I also have a really homophobic grandmother, and I do not know if she is Transphobic too. I came out as Trans to only 3 of my friends, went well, but my family. Even my sister made a weird face when i hinted I am trans. But i want you to know,your not alone in this struggle. If you need anything, i'll most likely reply back. Just know, everyone here supports you no matter what.
@@chikinuggi4434 Thank you.I woke up and saw this hole paragraph.Hope you are well,I did ages ago come out to my mum as pan and she was OK with it but I didn't tell my dad.The only person I will come out to is my aunt because she is non binary and a lesbian(she's OK with my calling her aunt). Hope ever things good.
I’m 14 im trans masc, my high school is doing a Barbie themed homecoming dance, my moms making me wear a dress even though she knows I’m a boy. This video makes me really happy
As a trans male this made me feel like I coule do anything and everything. Thank you for this I was feeling rlly low bc so many ppl have been mis gendering me.
this popped up on my feed. huge barbie fan since i was a little “girl” and have been rewatching some movies in prep for the one in july right after my top surgery. idk what universal vibes sent this my way but thanks c:
I legit started crying when I heard this 🥺 I can't even change my name to my real name on most things online cuz my dad will see it and lose his mind over it 😭 thank you so much 🥺
this song is just amazing and made me feel so much better because im trans female to male and today i was told "if youre born a girl your gonna stay a girl" and my parents always call me she/her and "daughter" and also my dead name even tho i dont feel comfortable with it so this song made me cry because it makes me feel better
I'm not trans but I support Trans Rights! My IRL Friend uses They/Them Pronouns but their old phone broke before they could tell me, So They told me as soon as I went back In-Person last month and I'm making sure to not misgender them due to not wanting them to be uncomfortable-
I’m a trans boy, and I appreciate this song. I still haven’t come out to anyone but my friends. I feel uncomfortable with my parents calling me she/her and calling me by my dead name.
Being trans this makes me feel so happy ❤❤❤ My entire family is trans/homophobic and when I told my mother I was trans she scolded me and basically called me disgusting.. If you’re trans, homo, or an ally, I respect y’all ✨✨✨ 👏🏼
As a trans guy this is really heartwarming and i always listen to it when im sad. especially in this period where i came out to my (ex bc after her reaction my trust for her its so damn less)bff.. bc no matter how i correct her.. she stills misgender me And i honestly dont want to unfriend her..i just want some respect for my pronouns.. (also my name is eren (not bc of the anime :3))💖
Well hi Eren! I hope your ex bff finds respect for you did they dont, you just need to cut them out of your life. Toxic people can and will find any way to weigh you down. Stay strong!
This reminds me about making a paragraph to someone calling everyone girly and how they went against a nonbinary persons boundaries and still did it after mentioning what it could do to a ftm person and continued to do it so I gave up on being polite 🙂💧
I actually just heard the original song a few days ago. It's good, but it didn't really fit me since I'm trans. And then I saw this, and I was really happy when I did.
I came out as trans to my mother a year ago, she hasn't been the best mom ever since I came out... She still calls me she instead of he and make me wear girly clothes which I like because I'm feminine but she always says I'm her perfect "daughter". Luckily my older sister and her transgender girlfriend are gonna adopt me 🙂
I don't think I'm trans, just a tomboy but this made me cry my eyes out. Ever since I had cut my hair short like a boy, everyone around me is just acting like such an ass about it. And my mom's friends are convincing her to think that I'm not normal, that I'm part of a bad side of society and my mom's kind of disappointed in me now I guess, haha wait till I come out as bi... she's going to be so disappointed- This song comforts me at a very personal level 😔👊
Thank you for the message at the end, it really made my day. I have been thinking about telling my parents, but I know what they will think and both are homophobic.
I really needed this song, today. Short, sweet and to the point. I’m done apologizing for who I am. Also ironic that Kenneth is one of my chosen name options. Still trying a few things out
I’ve listened to this song about 3 times now, it makes me feel loved and makes me feel like I belong. My parents are not so nice about LGBT stuff, and I have to hide my guy self everyday because I’m afraid to tell them I’m a guy. Please don’t let anyone bring you down my brothers, please stay strong! ❤❤
My best friend of seven and a half years came out a while ago of being a trans boy, and I'm so proud of him. His name's Lukas, and I think he needs to hear this (he has an unsupportive parent, while the other is)
I have never been called he before by anyone irl. I came out as trans about a year ago. My parents even asked for permission to basically misgender me, use they/them instead of my actual pronouns, he/him. Ofc wanting to be called anything but she i let them, but it still hurts. I like listening to this and pretending someone is calling me who i am :)
my own issue with this song, "we can be who we want to" as if he chose to be ftm... you dont choose who you are, neither does anyone else. i agree that people cant tell u what u are or make you something that youre not.. but you cant make yourself something youre not either. you are who you are at birth, you just need to take the time to discover who that is. (also im not saying you are the gender assigned at birth, thats not true either, who you are isnt clear from birth, it takes time to discover who exactly you are, but people need to be free to do that. to discover the real them.) you arents deciding who you want to be, youre discovering who you already are. and it shouldnt be treated as something thats wrong. people need to be free to explore themselves, discover their gender, sexuality, and other interesting things about them. the more you learn about yourself the more youll come to appreciate exactly who you are. and also, the journey never truly ends in my opinion, you can always discover more about yourself, you just have to be open to exploring it. people who just accept that they are exactly what they are born as, are either too scared to explore themselves, or they truly are who they are born as. but if theyre just too scared to learn about themselves so they block out their true self... thats really sad to me. we need to become a society that nutures and supports self discovery, instead of one that tries to fit people into little boxes and force them to become what society wants them to be. i think we'll all be a lot happier as a people if we just let people be who they are, yk? well... unless who you are is someone who hurts inoccent people.. if thats your situation where you find out youre attracted to minors or animals or dead bodies.. you need to get help immedietly... but imo as long as who you are doesnt hurt anyone i think its fine. but no, that doesnt give anyone the excuse to say "oh my kid is trans so this hurts me as a christian parent" if it hurts your reputation, it doesnt count. if youre really more worried about what other people think of you than the happiness of your child, youre a bad parent. your role as a parent isnt to be liked by other people. your role is to care for and support your child, no matter who they are. your kid is a person. not a pet or a toy. ahh this is going on for too long... but yeah for anyone reading this who is confused about their identity, give it time.. youll figure it out eventually.. self discovery takes time. you just have to be open to the possibilitys of who you are, yk? stay safe out there!
Just came out on Facebook as trans.. my biological sister obviously was upset, go figure, I can never make her happy! But I have my sister figure accepting me for who I am... Thankfully!
In the words of Barbie, "we can be anything" I'm not sure if that's the exact words because it has been awhile since I watched a Barbie movie but it's close
