watched this the other day and hadn’t really seen it mentioned before, so I thought I’d share it and see what others thought
EDIT: please heed the content warning at the beginning of the video 😊
So a heads up for people watching. It starts out seeming like it’s a video for cis folk, explaining what transition is and why trans people do it, but about 5 minutes in, it radically shifts in scope, and becomes a first hand experience of a trans person, talking to other trans people. It raw and powerful. But it’s also something you should watch only when you have the spoons for someone talking about their trauma.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be back once I have the spoons.
Appreciate this, thank you
I almost considered adding my own content warning, but at the time I felt it would be redundant with the one at the beginning of the video. It’s definitely heavy and triggering, so worth calling that out. Thanks!
Wow, that was something. There are things in there that I don’t really relate to, for which I’m thankful. I guess my response to the self-doubting voice is usually “yeah, this might all be a huge mistake. So what? yolol”
But that section on looking back at the kid I supposedly was, and not feeling any connection to them; not really knowing how I managed to get this far, seeing the calendar skip from decade to decade… yeah, I felt that. “I didn’t want to live until I came out”: ain’t that the truth.
