To Be A Man: Transgender Story (LGBTQ) 

I've seen a lot of transmen document their transition- but never this poetically or beautifully shot. Utterly gorgeous composition and extremely important story. Completely captivated and deeply moved.

Deep respect, not only for Levi, but also for his mother.

The pride in his mom's face. 😭 ❤

This last shot of you on the bike is so heartwarming.

"and this is my female male transition" Enters browny the cat

Wow he's hot! Gay trans man right here

Mom’s love is unconditional

Thank you for sharing your story, Levi. This is beautiful. I'm a cis female but I am grateful for this. I hope that your story can have a positive impact for (young) trans people who are starting their journey and may be struggling. This content is SO important. So valuable. It shows everyone that it is okay to be yourself, exactly as you are, no matter what. It shows that each person is beautiful and wonderful and perfect. And that there are people who will love, accept, and support you for you. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION ❤ THANK YOU.

It's incredible the differences between the female to the eventual man, I'm just amazed. If I was shown two pictures, the before and after of this person, there's no way I would guess in a million years that it was the same person. The transition is like the pregnancy and then the birth of a new man. It's not just the body but the whole face changes and he's unrecognisable to his former self. I'm in total awe, and what's incredible still is how very attractive trans men are. Outwardly, and in general you can't really tell the differences between trans-men from naturally born men, but through watching a lot of trans-men story videos on UTube, trans-men are more sensitive and they listen more, in general, to other people and are more open with their emotions, something that is only just evolving in naturally born men, so they can learn a lot from their trans-brothers....I'm just saying

SOO, nobody is going to acknowledge the cat @1:48?

I'm crying so much I wish I can tell but so scared of the rejections and also dealing with mental issue in coming up but the reson is still unknow to them

thank you so much for sharing this documentary, just came out as ftm about 6 months ago, turning 21 this month and today I go to my first endo appointment in hopes of knowing when I can start MY puberty, you're an inspiration you're great keep doing great!

Hi Levi - thanks so much for sharing your story i'm blown away by how well you come across with your words.

The Cinematographie was beautifull!

I don't have a fear of needles, but holy sh*t that shot is huge! It actually scares me that one day I'm going to put that in _my_ body. Ugh, I'm already shivering just thinking about it.

this is the best story I have seen on youtube so far. also I'm glad that you, Levi, touched the dating topic because as a gay men I really am comfortable dating a transgender guy because just put this in perspective if you identify as a male, I will see you as your male and because I'm gay and like men I will not see you as your past self, I'll see you as the man you identify as and love you as that man... I wish the best for you and thank you for sharing your story

thank you for me giving me the strength to continue on my journey...

I was scared when he put the shot in his leg. He did It so well xD

I've posted similar comments on your other videos... This entire production is utterly impeccable. Everyone involved in this documentary has a true future in the film industry! Alike, you are a beautiful soul!

I thought it said ‘be a man’ and That song from mulan just started playing in my head. Tbh Mulan is such a mood and I love it.

This is beautiful I'm glad his mother supports him we need more parents like her I'm gay but I support trans community all the way Very beautiful and touching video congratulations Levi

So glad his family are with him on this, and it's so sad people like this are rejected by their own parents, well, all I can think is 'some parents aren't worthy of their own children' it might well be difficult to process at first, but some don't even try, or start hiding behind various assorted 'holy books' to back up prejudice; well shame on you for being cowardly and feeble minded, my Mother once said 'my children could _murder_ and I would still love them' not that any of us actually _have_ but I was lucky to be brought up by people who really knew what it was to care for others, it's not every parent who has the guts to do that when things get challenging...

I literally am crying rn. You’re so brave! And your mom is beautiful and amazing. Sending love from Philippines 💕

This video made a difference in my life. Thank you for your help. I hope you are doing well.

Omg, best thing I've seen so far! I didn't want it to end ! 😭 I'm so happy for you dude! 🙏🏼✌🏽 Just be you! 💯

Thank you for sharing this. Really touching, I'm really early into my transition but I relate to a lot of this. Especially the birth thing, I was a premature baby also and born about 3 months early so this really touched me and inspired me.

Thank you for sharing. I am passing your story along today, so perhaps hearing it will convince someone to have more compassion - or even save someone's life. Much love.

I came across this video - watched it - and found out that you go by Levi as well. I'm Pre T but still go by Levi and it feels good. Like the little things make a difference. Things like wearing guy clothes, deodorant, cologne, masculine haircut, etc. I've come out to my mom and a cousin, and hopefully I will come out to more so I can finally be my true self.

Thank you so much. I know other people are saying thanks to but I think I am trans ftm (I'm pretty sure) and my preferred name is Levi so hearing my name and seeing your transition helped me a lot and to learn to slow down and that I'll make it. So thank you so much and I really hope you see this💕✨

I nearly skipped this video because I thought at first glance it was an aftershave ad (my screen is tiny) and that the bottle of T was aftershave 🤔 I'm glad I looked again and read the title and took the time to watch it. What a beautiful story and what a brilliant mum. 💜

what a long strange trip it's been...for me too and I love all your mom's support. You rock dude!!

❤️🙏🏽 I'm speechless

Your story is so beautiful. I am so glad that you became the person you were always meant to be!

What an incredibly encouraging story!! It has answered so many of my questions. I'm 86 and have a grandaugher in transition. We only hope and pray for their's success and happines. This video has put my old mind at ease and I'm lookig forward to meeting my new grandson. What's not to love!!

Thank you for creating this video. It's filmed so well and it's been very inspirational for me.

I look up to both you and your mom! Btw random but we started testosterone the same day 9.2.14!

He's so cute and sweet. I've been watching MtF youtubers because that's the journey i wanna start but I'm extremely scared, but the boys are also cool. This documentary is also cool, i didn't think I'd watch more than 5 minutes and it's just... it's like nothing I've ever seen. I think it's groundbreaking. It's just too *%$$#$*@#** short😭😭😭

Not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry Crap I'm crying

It's really wonderful that they're getting to transition at such a young age these days. It's the most exciting time of anybody's life and he'll experience that as his true self. Amazing.

Thank you for sharing your story. It took alot of courage to let the world into your life. Not only into your personal life, but into your journey to finding your gender identity. Never be afraid to be you.

🖤I love this is much 🖤 I to am trans, and honestly this helps me a lot. Thank you Levi. 🖤

This made me so hopeful for the future. I'm feeling pretty dysphoric today so I really needed this. My first therapy session is in 11 days and I couldn't be more excited to work on getting my letter for t so I can begin my transition!

this is so inspiring.. however some or others cant do it that easy..but yeah time may come and things may be accepted by others who you really are and at some point you might lost others but some are still there and support you all the way.. i love your story man

Dude, I was born 2.5 months early in '84. Hearing that it probably saved our lives has just made such a huge impact on me! Cheers man 👌🏻

You're a strong, courageous trans man, Levi. Thank you for sharing your story! I identify with a lot of the challenges you face. We also shared similar names at birth and the same trans name! Watching videos like yours give me strength and empower to move forward on my own journey to be comfortable with myself, regardless of the opinions others!

Wow your smile 😊. You look amazing and very comfortable and content in your own skin. Wishing you every happiness x

Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing! I think it was important for me to see this. I couldn’t see this if you weren’t here to write the story. 💗

fantastic video levi thanks for sharing your heartwarming story

This is really well-done. Your mom is amazing.

The end with the bike. The music sounds like wrabel's "the village" but in slow motion and a little bit different instrumental and it's just.... I'm Fucking crying.

Thank you for this. You put my feelings into words. I hope someday I will be like you.

This was amazing, bless you for existing 💯

so touching, you, your story, your mother. no mater what gender you become you are very sensitive human being and the way you accept yourself so good will make you completely irresistible to anyone who has eyes and heart.

Thank you, Levi, for sharing your story. Have a gorgeous life!

I loved it! It is so heartwarming and beautifully written. I am trans too, I am from Italy. ;)

Fantastic job man! Congrats on all the progress, and thank you for making this video and paying attention to the details. You'll help a lot of kids with this for sure! Cheers!

Thank you so much for sharing. Deep respect. Wish you the best!!

Levi, huge congrats on your profound transition, this documentary, & your loving relationship with your mother. Her acceptance & your happiness is so evident & beautiful to watch. As a trans man myself - I’m truly moved to observe & relate. The world is thankfully changing & the love/understanding of the trans experience has been a vital aspect of LGBTQ acceptance as a whole. We still have a long way to go but thank you for sharing your story. It’s very important because your humanizing something that so many people still don’t understand. Thank you, my friend.

So nicely shot. I loved both the cinematography and the story (and the honesty in it). THANKS. It somehow reminds me of Leo Mateus's channel.

This is really well made! I’m trans FTM too! Thank you for showing us your story

Wow😍😍 What amazing transformation❤❤❤ You know you dont have to be afraid about having a relationship with someone , weithere its a man a bi or etc. Cuz you know your a good man with a good looking man❤❤❤❤ And im having a crash on you with the last shot of this video with you on that bike❤❤❤😍😍 Congrats to you transition LEVI NATHAN❤❤

You are lucky to be alive and got supportive family, so make it worth it and doing somethings good for other too. Cherish!

Thanks for the video, Levi. I’m 12,and your video inspired me to come out to my mom. Thanks

Hi Levi! Thanks for sharing your story! I stumbled on this video and applaud you for being so open and honest! You are gorgeous!! ❤️

Thanks Levi For Sharing Your Story

That'll be me one day

Levi, I don't know you personally, but I love your spirit, and I, too, can see you becoming the man you were always meant to be :)

I wanna hear from the brother and dad. They seem to be the sane ones in the family.

I liked the fact that you realized that this change is part of the mental health. And if that's what it keeps you going !

Impressive story. I wish you the best on your journey brother.

The joy in your face at the end of the film is so wonderful and heartwarming to see and feel. I am ftm too, will be starting transition soon, albeit much later in life than you are. You inspire me to be me!Nice production of video also!

genuinely speechless thank you for putting this out into the world... wow

Levi you are handsome young man who deserves a good life and you are gonna find someone who loves you. You are such an inspiration for me because you just except your past and I'm trans female and my past is just painful to except. But I'm trying to push through it. Love lots❤🧡💛💚💙💜

♥️ this documentary.

why does this not have more views? its beautifully shot and informative

Ahh I have such a phobia of needles that I got anxiety just watching the injection!! I'm working or get over it and have injected myself at least 3-4 times all the other times my friend who's a retired nurse gives it to me. I can handle other people poking me so the next step is just getting ok with stabbing myself! 😝

Levi is a very mature Young Man who has the whole world at His feet So Good

OMG levi your story touch my heart and I'm so proud of you for sharing this and thank God for your mom in understanding you but it's really love hugs and kisses to your mom wish I had the chance to tell my mom back then but she passed away I was trap in having a kid and after my mom die I gave the kid to a family member but I still didn't have the help you guys have today or the support I wish I could start my life over because you gave me hope in my self your story was like a beautiful and emotional movie good will always watch over you and your family sending love and prayers to the both of you 🌹

Amazing life story! No matter how you were born and how you want to live, you are meant to be here on this earth. You are beautiful and Handsome 👍🏻❤️

You don't have to be trans to struggle with the dating scene, I'm a man who is not trans and I struggle with the dating scene as well. I've often feared that women don't like me in a romantic way despite how much I go out my way to make an effort to get my hair cut and dress in suave sophisticated clothes

this is the BEST doc i’ve ever seen😱😱❤️❤️❤️❤️

My mom had a miscarriage (of a boy) before carrying me and it was a prophecy by many people that a son would not survive in this family. My mom's still scared of that fact and is not allowing me to transition. Seeing your story inspired me a lot that maybe someday I might finally become how I imagine myself to be. Thank you so much Levi!

Amazing story! Much love & happiness to you & your mom❤️

I’m so proud of you , and it’s absolutely amazing story you shared to us . I’m so excited you finally become who you really want to be .

Thank you for giving others the ability to tap into your experiences and offer them the same hope on this road ahead of them and that you have now traveled and flourished in...

Excellent presentation of your life story Levi!

All my respect, do not stop 👍👍👍👍👍

I'm glad he recognizes where he comes from and honors that. It was all part of his becoming.

This is such a wonderful documentary. Thank you for posting it!

Than you Levi for sharing your story. I'm sure it will be of help to others to hear it. Much love as you continue your journey.

This is touching, keep doing you man

A Wonderful Mother ! You both are an example of LOVE

That smile! Wow. It speaks volumes.

you are so incredible! im proud of you!

I have the same birth name as you, that’s crazy. Thank you for sharing your story, I can relate to so much. I am just over a month on T so far and although I’m still struggling with stuff personally I feel so much better finally living who I truly am. I’m excited for the future for the first time in my life. Wish you all the best on your continued journey ❤️

This video made me emotional because I relate to so much. My mom is supportive and my dad doesn't say much but he's fine with it. This is a long journey.
