I just turned 30 and I've finally made the decision to transition, there are times when I get scared about what lies ahead as it see daunting (and amazing too of course) - thanks for posting this video, it's good to hear positive advice :D you rock too!!
Hey Jordan, i am 17 and i have been on hormones for 2 months, but i have been watching your videos for maybe 2 years now, whenever i have had any doubts or felt bad in any way, your videos have always had an amazing affect on me. thanks so much
Thank you so much, Jordan. I love your personality and it gives me hope that I can transition and still enjoy all the things I do now but be a woman doing them! I was smiling for a lot of this video just because how happy you seem is infectious!
I would like to thank you im a 28 year old transgender but until 2 years ago i was still living as a guy but watching videos from you and others encouraged me to come out to my wife she was about 6 months pregnant with our son needless to say she was shocked(we are still together and happy) and she helped me come out to my friends and family but i dont think i would have come out had i not watched your videos i started my hrt about 2 months ago and i couldn't be happier so thank you so much
given me alot of hope, and its given me that lil bit of an extra push, as if to say "cmon , you can do this" so id like to thank you for posting this, you have no idea how happy its made me :D ty ty ty ty ty so much :D
Jordan is an inspiration and I couldnt agree with her more on this subject. I am a living example of what could happen if you wait. Im 48, living full time female and just now got my letter to start HRT. Im not waiting any more in my life. I know my hormone effects are going to be way less than when I was in my 20's, but know in my heart of hearts that since begining my journey I am sooooooo much happier with me.. and everyone else. The lesson is clear! Don't wait. HUGS Jordan!!
Love your videos I was on HRT in my late thirty's but I got scared, what will my people think? will I pass? I'm 6'2" I regret it now and wish I would have done it in my teens. I am now 52 and finally seeing a therapist again to be on HRT again. Now I don't give a crap what people think I'm beautiful and proud of myself.
I am 39 now. Just started my hrt .after many challenges. Thinking of quitting because of family. But words from people like u, made me still going ...thanks
That was very inspirational and touching. I think that was the best inspirational speech I have ever heard. I get very depressed sometimes as I'm sure everybody else does and that cleared it right up and gave me hope!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Jordan, that is not the only reason you are happy and smiling a lot!! it is the best one though. 420 is just a couple of days away. I can't believe it has been another year already. thanks for your time and efforts. good luck to you.
I wish I had started when I was in my teens, but denial, denial and hide. I'm in my early 50's now and on HRT for about 3 months now and it's like a huge burden lifted from me. Your true self will win in the end one way or another. You are so right in letting other girls know not to wait and if they have been contemplating HRT then they are probably transgender. I love your videos and you are beautiful. Thank you so much.
Thank you for saying this. I am 29 and have been on the fence since I was 20. I sometimes feel it is to late. Recently I have finally come to terms with everything and I still have doubts sometimes. It's really important to have encouragement for me right now because it's so easy to fall into the negative places of self doubt and depression. Thank you :) Love and Hugs!
Hi Jordan, I just wanted to let you know that all your videos have been a wonderful encouragement. I finally came out to my family and friends and even my superiors at work. My only fears were how they would react and fear of there being obvious signs of my old body in the new one I'll have. But I decided to face them and your videos and videos of other girls on youtube have been wonderful inspirations. I'm ready to start hormones and take this journey, thanks to people like you. Thank you.
Jordan, this video is a must for those wanting to begin the journey!!! About the hands: I had lunch w/ a gentleman, that I met on the bus, on the way to see my psychiatrist. It turns out that he was a piano teacher. He said that I had the most beautiful hands that he had ever seen.!!! - krw
Actually, within bounds of reason, the answer is never as long as you are healthy. I took my first estrogen tablet at age 54 years and 2 months. That was approximately 3.5 years ago. You should see me today. Not bragging but just saying: People routinely think I'm 25-30 years younger than I actually am. No lie. Several people think I'm in my mid-20s! Jesus! My best friend just had sex-change surgery 8 weeks ago ... at age 64.5! My ONLY regret is it's difficult to find love at this age.
Always looking happy even when telling about the not so happy thing. I've just been looking thru all of your videos, and it makes me happy. And even singing a great bit like a girl, THAT IS THE TEST! If I could spot you? Probably YES, but for the positiv. Remember like you I know what to look for. Even though I'm no footballfan at all, I am glad you keep all your interests. It makes a whole person. Too many would stop because it is not considdered feminin. Clarissa
Jordan, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now. This may have just became my favorite video on youtube. Such an inspiration!
I logged onto youtube today and your vid popped up - I just got the prescription for my hormones and am at the point you described... thanks for sharing this :-)
thank you so much for this Jordan. I am 28 yrs old atm, and will have to wait a few years to get my hrt, im also a bit like jesslyngirl87 just really really short. to me to get the hormones will be all worth it and even if I wont get great results im fine with that because in the end I will become my true self and that's all that matters =) you are such an inspiration and you give me so much hope, I just want you to know that your videos really really means a lot to me. Lots of hugs =)
ty for this. i got my letter this week finally and i begib hrt soon! being slightly masculine myself it means alot to me. take care, and happy easter. xoxo Cassandra
Thank you so much for this video. I found it helped me quite a bit. I'm hoping to transition someday but I still have to find a gender therapist. I've started to take a few steps though so maybe I can find one soon. The feelings you described at the beginning of your video, I can understand them so well. It basically describes my feelings perfectly. I'm glad things have worked out for you.
I am thirty now and have been just so on the edge since I was 16 or so, and the regret that i haven't done it keeps me from it, if that makes sense. I have stared therapy recently and doing a lot of personal investigation also. hanks for a little positive encouragement, every little bit helps.
You're awesome! You're videos are all pretty great but this one has touched me most of all. I will definitely subscribe to your channel. I'm 20 so this really means a lot to me. Thank you :) -Bobby
This video, has given me an extra push that i needed.. I have always had dreams that i was the most attractive woman and being a woman always felt so good and natural. this was all in my dreams mind you. I also have always been jealous of my friends and even my sisters... not that they know that cuz i kept it to myself... but just for them being able to wear make up every day and have BOOBS. its great. I am going to begin my transition at 22 and it is going to be amazing... :D thanks JOrdan
Almost fell out of my chair when you shook me! lol jk but no seriously I have always like your videos and how much you try to help people out in understanding who they are. This one is by far one of the most..."LISTEN IF YOU WANT IT DO IT!" videos I have seen in a while. I am already in the process of getting mine but I am even more excited now about it even though I didn't think that was possible. Your awesome!! Wish we could smoke a bowl together sometime, Im not that far away :P
Love you girl love your honesty I love your personality and your strength I just started a year ago and HRT I'm 29 now for people like us things were different even 5 10 years ago coming out was different people weren't accepting as much as they are today so you're saying it more kids younger and younger transitioning I wish I would have did early 20th
Well, my parents did know and they did try to nudge me away from it when I was really young. It's why they kept my hair super short and made me join football. It wasn't until I was about 12 that my mom started researching transgender people. Even after I came out, though, my mom was opposed to me transitioning. Not because she hated the idea, but because she had researched. She knew the statistics, the violence directed at trans women. She was worried. Still, she supported me despite that.
awesome video, I loved it very inspirational . Im my self on the fence , im just 26 but i fear how my family and friends that ready know me will react .
You are bang on. I am transgendered don`t have a referal letter yet so i have to selfmedicate.I am 57 and have been taking hormones for 5 years now. The results speak for themselves.Was 5" 8 210 lbs, Now i am 5"7 145 lbs, mesurements are 36-27-36 and everyone that tries to guess my age gets it wrong. They say that i don`t look my age they say that i am more like 35 or 40 max. Makes me feel great. Its all hormones baby! It does also curb your male agressivity, bonus. Hugg& kiss. Bye!
Totally true! I know many who started in their 40s and 50s. I was in my early-mid-50s when I first took estrogen. Again, my ONLY regret is that I've found it extremely difficult to find a significant other. My generation (Baby Boomers) are stuck on the guy thing, men and women both. They won't date me or people like me because of that. Many young people have wanted to date me ... until they learn my age ... sigh. Catch 22. However, for younger transitioners, this is not a problem.
@Coll010150 Your absolutly right! It doesn't go away ever!!! I'm 44 and Just now starting to transition. I have two lovely daughters and a lovely wife that love me very much for who I am. It only did get worse. The more I ignored it the more unpleasant I was to be around.
thanks for this video... I watch it even time I'm nervous or think to hard about this .. I'm just starting I get hrt on September 10 2015 so many emotions.. wish I could I.M you .
Let's hear it for hormones!!!! Absolutely, positively use them if you feel its for you!!! I only wish I would have access to them and started at a much younger age!
I don't think I've been on any fence myself. My problem is finding a therapist that takes Medicaid! I've already done some things a therapist might look for, such as posting it on Facebook, so my immediate family knows, as well as my entire extended family and all of my friends from High School. I've become so impatient failing in my search for a therapist, that I finally decided to order my own hormones online. It might not be the wisest of decisions, but I just couldn't wait any longer. ;)
Jordan, This is an amazing video! Its funny, I am right on the verge of being able to start HRT and I became very hesitant. And it was a lot of what you said to be honest. So thank you, Nearly perfect presentation. I have to ask though.... an Oakland A's Jersey?? ~sigh~ (jk)
I watch you so much on RU-vid. Your transformation has been a beautiful one and you inspire me to be me. I turned 20 a little more than a month ago and have already started seeing a therapist. I will be on hormones in less than 2 months from now and am already getting my second facial laser hair removal session next week. I am ready to love myself for who I am. and I already have a feminem face so Im excited to see my results from hrt. I have a video up. I would love your opinion on my face. 3
I'm 37 now but i was wanting to start when i was 18 and right after my high school graduation and its difficult to do it cause of my cultural background or but thes younger generation that coming along will have it easier than us because being trans will be the norm some day.
ive asked so many other TG women on youtube for the same advice you're giving right now, and i could never get the help or advice id been seeking. i guess maybe they thought i was another sick perverted guy on the prowl or something like that, and i dont blame them if that was the case, Although im not that kinda person, im more a less confused about my situation, and whether or not ill will end up happier if i choose to take the next step, but in saying that, your video has.. continued...
I'm in the middle of my mom going through altzimers (how that's spelled lol) and my family expects me to take care of everything and I think they they'll say horrible things about me because they already are. Especially my Christian aunt. My sister already threw a cross at me in Facebook. I'm freaking out over here.
Jordan, your videos are so inspirational! I dress up a lot at home, have been to parties as my Jackie, but always use the excuse that it is all fun. I am a big guy, like the Jesslyngirl87 was but your height. Damn, this is so dificult. You always mention age, you think a 34yo can reach the same results, given that I am super fit and very healty.?
Yeah- it doesn't go away with age. It only gets worse. Add in that you went down the path of denial, got married, had kids etc. If you feel like this is you - don't procrastinate because I think if you weren't transgendered you probably wouldn't even think about changing your body permantly.. if I only had courage earlier in life. It doesn't "go away"!
I don't think this has gotten a reply yet, so I will. If you don't go to someone who is knowledgeable about trans people, then they could misdiagnose you potentially. This is especially true if they have a religious affiliation. So as long as you make sure your therapist has experience with trans people, you should be fine. Yes, you will have to take hormones forever but it's not so bad. I know this was 6 months ago but I hope you are able to get proper help, this DOES NOT go away. Best of luck!
Wow this by far is the most meaningful and needed advice I could have asked for ... Thank you ... I too have my letter now since a month ago and still on the fence ... My issue is that I am wondering if this will impact my kids negatively .... My wife supports me but we are both worried about the effect on the kids ... Any thoughts
Yeah, but what about the decrease in libido thing, due to HRT? I am 52. My libido has decreased from when I was 22, but I would like to hold on to what I got, so to speak.;)
Albert Giesbrecht = Hi. You might have figured it out already, but bicalutamide seems to work quite good as a AA without lowering too much the libido. Cheers!
Thanks for your videos :) Could I ask you a question? You said you waited a year before starting HRT. How did you suddenly 'click' and decide to start it? I've only recently realised that I'm likely trans (mtf), having not really known who or what I was for most of my childhood. I'm coming up to 25 myself and am in a position where I cant (yet) talk to anyone about it as I'm still not sure. I guess what I'm asking is, at what point was it a case of 'boom - yes I'm sure'? Many thanks :)
No joke, that clicking moment for me was 2 years ago, 12/9/16, 2 days after my 23rd birthday. My childhood was the same. My folks forced me into the closet from 13.
im only 17. havent started anything yet (obviously) i wish i could start now. i really want to...but i cant. i dont have any of the support. and i dont even know how to start them, i dont know the steps...
Dear Jordan. I'm a 14 year old "boy" but I'm sure now that I'm a girl inside, what is therapy like? I'm afraid when I get a therapist that he will misdiagnose me as a guy when I'm a girl on the inside. Also once you start taking hormone pills do you have to continuously take them forever? Thanks :)
Hrt,dosent work properally for me, ive been on hormones just as long as you Jordon,i seen your videos from day one to now,and your hot,i mean it literally. But i think its my dosage im on,that is not anouf estrogen,but to much testrone blocker,in my case.I ll try to up my dosage to 5 mg of Estrace.Yes i need facial feminatin too,my adams apple reshaping,and nose reshaping. My Grs is in Sept,19,2012 Keep up the good work Jordon,and i allways will be your Trans Sister for life,Sincerily Sarah
