    you shouldn't feel guilty for having suicidal thoughts. it's not like you chose to have them. please stay strong, kovu! we love you!

      That's a good way of putting it! We don't choose to have suicidal thoughts. But we can recognize them as unwanted.

    I absolutely love you, your so adorable, stat strong and most of all stay here because I love watching your videos and hearing updates or whatever. Just seeing you here makes me happy. Your perfect and I hope you can see that, I really hope that your family is accepting of you. I see you as a guy I would have never guessed you were ever a girl if it wasn't for this channel. I hope you can one day (sooner or later) see that you are an amazing person and I wish I could give you the BIGGEST HUG and your NOT A FREAK AT ALL trust me I have met freaky people and you are far from it. Also your voice does not at all sound feminine, then again maybe it's the accent (btw it's hot ASF)!
    STAY STRONG❤️❤️

    I managed to do psychology at school, and its really interesting and I'm really enjoying it.
    I would definitely recommend it if you're interested in psychology.
    I find your channel very helpful as I've been struggling with figuring out how I identify (ftm (I think I'm transgender or non-binary, but I think demi-boy fits me well because I don't fully identify as a boy, but I identify as a boy more than anything else)) and I am trying to pluck up the courage to tell my mum and dad (who are (thankfully) supportive, which was incredibly worrying for me
    Sorry, I ramble
    But, just, thank you for posting videos because it's really helping me through this. You're awesome.

    Hey I just found your channel, I just wanted to say that I think you're really cool and you kinda remind me of Robin (cavetown). I'm struggling a lot with my gender identity and you make me see that I'm not alone and that I will get through this. Thanks for helping and I hope you feel better soon!

    • @lancesego3371

    Firstly, GET TESTOGEL!!! I have it and it's great, it keeps my levels steady, and it's given me all the changes one can expect (lower voice- this happens normally quite quickly and makes passing a million times easier-, hairiness, increased muscle, stopping the monthly's etc.). I can't take needles and I almost didn't go on T because I thought that was the only option. Also, I did IB and I did not enjoy it. The school I went to was great though, kinda a university atmosphere. Everyone is accepted and difference is valued. It was free uniform as with any school I went to since yr6. Glad your parents are coming around. There's lots of stories of parents being super supportive right away but I think the reality is it's mostly shitty at first and then after maybe a year you'll be surprised at the progress. My mum, annoyingly, said I should've medically transitioned when I was younger (I think she'd just watched some trans documentary)... apparently she has amnesia about the fact that she was so anti me being on hormones at 20... she would not have let me go on it if I had to ask permission from her. That just shows how much she's flipped though. It was mixed results with wider family but the longer you stick to your guns the better it gets.

    I can relate so much to you. I see myself in you (and not just because we look similar), but because of what you've been through. I'm the same age and in the same stage of my transition. All of your updates give me hope, and I really want to one day watch you as a happy man, when we've both achieved what we want. You're such an amazing person. Stay strong and stay safe.

  • @thuviels
    @thuviels 7 років тому

    Thanks for the cookie xD I'm so happy your parents are coming around, my parents are slowly warming up to me being trans too so I think it's important for everyone to remember that sometimes people just need time to get used to new things. I hope your grandparents will come to accept you as well

  • @davidyarbrough6922
    @davidyarbrough6922 7 років тому

    OK. KOVU I subbed your Chanel an I've subbed a lot of Chanel's like yours. please stay strong. I struggle with myself everyday about who I am. on paper I am a 46 year old man with 2 beautiful kids 25 an 26 years old married almost 21 years. inside I do not know who I truly am. sexually people call me bi physically I have no clue emotionally with all the definitions new and old I relate to many parts of many of them. my wife has known since before we became an item and is accepting of me my son (25) knows an accepts but they only know about me sexually. they nor anybody else knows the emotional turmoil I go through everyday. on my bad days what really picks me up is watching the younger generation like yourself be so open and proud of who you are I've watched dozens of videos like yours and they make me feel loads better. not so much about myself but about society and how much positive it has changed since I was your age. back then we didn't have the choices that you now have today.I struggle today because we weren't allowed to think like that. being lgbt was unthinkable with harsh consequences back then so what I should have been able to work out as a kid or teen is only now in the last few years being worked out.I look up to you and others your age for strength and encouragement by your videos.I have been suicidal even attempted and failed several times by poor timing on my part I always got caught and saved but those days are past. at least for now I think. the positive from watching you and others has been awesome.because of all you guys/girls lgbt videos I've been actually coming out to more and more people. not once has any of it been negative even from friends I thought would want to beat me up an stuff.as a result I've been happier because I didn't have to pretend to be somebody I wasn't anymore. it has also made me and my friends closer cuz they can see the positive changes in me.its still a struggle and I'm sure it always will be. looking back I'm positive my parents already knew but I will never know because they have both passed. not talking to them about the real me is currently my only regret because if I would have talked to them when I was your age I'm 100% positive I would have been a better and different person today. so please keep up the positive attitude try not to dwell on your physical looks or anything like that. it sounds to me you've got great support in your life and it will all work out. maybe not 100% but your taking the steps in the right direction. never give up. I'm sure there are others like myself who feel the same. stay pissitive stay strong be yourself and if you feel yourself slipping or being overwhelmed lean on your parents an brother just say mom dad can you hold me hug me an tell me again how much you love me I really need it and you know what? I'm sure they will.

    @AndreaNessHammer 7 років тому

    My parent's did not take it very well when I came out as bi/lesbian, and it was a horrible time for me, because I felt so guilty for years. i JUST had that same conversation with my parents where they both said sorry to me, and told me they literally don't mind who I come home with, as long as I'm happy and they treat me right. And it was like...a whole new world after that. I thought I was over their reaction and didn't care about what they thought of me, but only after they told me those things have I truly felt how much worry and shame was involved in their rejection.

    Don't feel lonely Kovu! I don't have any friends either :( Ive been through some dark times too, and its real rough, but I'm still here. When you say you're lonely, do you mean just in a IRL hanging out kind of way, cuz I get the impression you have loads of internet friends to choose from given your social media presence, but if that's not the case, I'd be happy to talk.

  • @saff1257
    @saff1257 7 років тому +4

    I just realised how little action I can take about my identity. First I need to be 100% sure on what my gender is, then come out to friends, then come out to my mum and dad (my dad will hate me ugh), then get a binder, then come out to everyone else, then get a therapist (which I always get nervous about), then get testosterone and then get top surgery then maybe bottom surgery... :(((
    Ughhhhhhhhhh I have soooo far to go and I haven't even got a proper binder yet

    • @Drummerdudegirl

    Just wanted to let you know (since you said it's new info to you) that testogel (testosterone gel) works the same and has the same effects as testosterone injections. It's really all about the individual's preference for what they prefer as gel is daily and injections vary depending on the type (in the US they do every week or every other week but abroad it's typically nebido or something of that like that's every 3 months). Some people say the changes on gel are "slower" but that's not necessarily true. I started with injections and switched to gel bc it's more convenient for me but it has the same effects as injections do :) hope you're having a great day/night and sending good vibes your way as well :)

    im 15 and trans ftm and pansexual. About 2 years ago i came out to all my friends and family as pansexual everyone is cool with it but family think its a phase. As for trans i came out to my parents and grandma last year and my grandma and dad say they accept me but dont use my pronouns or name or anything and dont believe me and my mom just doesnt accept me at all because shes religious. I came out as trans to my friends a few weeks ago and they all accepted me but only 1 friend and my girlfriend calls me by my name and pronouns which is better than no one at all but still really sucks.

Do you have any recommendations. Oh yeah and love you Kovu.

    gender dysphoria always comes with a serving of body dysmorphia, dont forget that. my opinion of my body and how well i pass changes with each mirror i look into, its crazy
    also dont forget that T changes a lot of ppl drastically, and possibly each little thing that changes in you when you start your treatment will feel like a gigantic victory, you can't even imagine how good it will be before it actually happens.
    just take care!!!!!!!!!!!!
