Personally, as a progressive straight person, I fully support the LGBT community in its never-ending battle for genuine equality and full human rights in the world. Seeing people like Nicole Maines giving great expressions of positivity and power have meant truly a lot to me. Bravo!
What a lucky family to have each other and such love. I’m a straight old man who’s so touched to see people be happy. Be themselves. Live their own life. Thanks for being open and real.
I had the honor of meeting this awesome family, I just happened to choose the same doctor and had my Grs the same day as this amazing girl. They are exactly on stage as they are in person.
@Michelle Louise Davis Have you seen any of her films or television series’? She is a wonderful young lady and she has definitely gone places. Though I suppose you may have not if you only sit around watching NCIS or Days of Our Lives. I would really look at your accomplishments before throwing hers under the rug. Nicole did start a movement after all for trans kids like her, what have you done with your life? She was 18 when she did that. Have you done anything as extraordinary like that in your lifetime?
@Michelle Louise Davis I also just wanted to state that neuroscience plays a role in being transgender. There are plenty of studies showing proof of the topic and some that are controversial. Though I would think some facts out weigh others a lot. It is up to you I suppose. Do your research, ask individuals how they feel, ask family members. Though I doubt you would take the time and effort to do such a thing. Knowledge and understanding is power my friend. Not ignorance.
Wow, I would never have guessed Nicole was born a male. She is so feminine and hot and I thought I'd be able to tell if someone is trans, lol, I was wrong.
Nicole i am also a new englander and am really PROUD of you and so happy for you .I wish you the BEST take care of yourself and smile and yes i am transgender also ,i little older than you and working for me to be complete .you have a life most only dream about take care of yourself and be healthy and careful . Oh and if you could anytime you are on stage or being interviewed or live on camera smile for me will ya ? it's always been my dream to act in tv etc.God bless . thnxs!Jenny from mass now fla!
Did I see Jenifer Laurence in the crowd 6:51? and 7:22 that guys looked like he was having a hand seizure. Also 7:57 that happens to me and my twin brother a lot lol.
The guy was doing what the deaf community do instead of clapping your hands. Clap your hands make a sound that hearing people hear, deaf people are visual people.
Wow, hands down the prettiest, most girly, trans' I've ever seen. Are they sure she used to be a boy? Lol, I forgot I already commented here 2 months ago...probably bc I'm still amazed how feminine she is, doubly amazed ;P
I really dont get what he is going on about. I am trans and sorry he is really over doing things. All he needs are violins. We are not victims. Shocking
Just because it’s not your experience doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Plenty of trans people victims of hate and are stuck in horrible situations because of it
So we have to play the pronoun game to figure out who you are talking about? What exactly is being overdone? Nicole's story was national news, and you probably benefitted from her court case (even if indirectly) since it was one of the reasons Obama changed how the DOJ looked at discrimination cases. PS don't bother trying the I'm trans, you're not game. - a trans woman
@@MattSkylar -- Gender identity is in a person's brain, not their crotch. That thing can always be removed or added. And no one can see chromosomes except maybe in a lab.
@@Fazzel why do you place the identity in the brain, and not the physical body? In all other things we base fact on the physical reality. Species, race, age. I'm interested to hear your point of view.
My mom, dad and my 3 brothers stood by me during my journey to transition. Growing up in the Philippines with so much judgements people I’m just so lucky my family was always been there for me.
