      What a bean.
      My little nephew (I'm not old, my stepmom's kids just get pregnant at ungodly ages) called me a boy once,
      And my stepmom had the audacity to "correct" him.

    Nice / awkward moment
    Shopping for my prom suit and using the male changing room, one of the shop staff notices me and helps me get all the rest of the stuff I need. He's great, he calls me "pal" and "wee man" (we're Scottish) but then when he goes "he's good with those shoes" my mum goes and goes "she is"
    Mother
    Why
    Even the strangers are getting it now
    This wonderful man kept calling me by he pronouns for all the times my mum called me she and I'm so thankful for him but it was also really awkward and embarrassing because my own mum kept saying she

      Charlie Markham Actually no... it's sad but I imagine that, as a 100% cis person, it can be hard to grasp why anyone would change their birth-assigned gender. When you have never experienced disphoria, you just can't relate to it. Obviously not an excuse to keep wording the process of transition that way...

    • "No, I don't really watch *tv show / movie / fandom* on my shirt, I just wore it because it's a guy shirt"

      I know this is old but I just found it and I've only been non-binary for a few months, so I wanted to say I relate to this. I spent 38 years trying to be a girl and thinking something was wrong with me cause I never fit in anywhere and was uncomfortable in public girl spaces. All, things that bother me:
      • I said to someone online, "I'm Agender." and told them my pronouns, and they said, "But... you're still a lady," and I felt my heart drop. He even went on to say my pronouns are made up and that I got my gender from tic tok.
      • Never fully fitting in with boys or girls was also hard. I got bullied by both.
      • My boyfriend calling me "Baby Girl" and "Mommy" when talking to our pets and using she/her pronouns.
      • Me wearing hats and my neighbor saying "Take that hat off, you look like a boy!"
      • Wearing a pronoun pin/shirt and getting anxiety thinking that people will judge me

    "People incorrectly correcting themselves"
    This happened to me at a Newbury Comics a few months ago. I had my head down and I was wearing a beanie and a really big jacket I had stolen from my brother and an employee had walked up to me and said, "Can I help you sir?". I looked up and he then said, "Oh! Sorry ma'am." I then started to panic because this was the FIRST TIME I was recognize as a guy in public. So I then said, "N-no! You were right the first time!" It was awkward...

      depending on what kind of binder it is you can just lie and say you have a rare spinal disorder that requires you to wear it for your posture or something. ppl usually feel awkward asking further questions about other ppls health so they'd probably just leave it at that.

    I'm not trans so I haven't experienced this but last month my trans friend Michael and I were at the school drinking fountains and there was a lady and her child waiting for him to finish. The kid was complaining and the lady said "Wait for the boy to finish sweetie." Michael finished and stood away hiding his smile, but then the lady said "Oh I'm sorry ma'am I didn't know you were a female! I just thought because of your hair." He just awkwardly said "Haha.... It's fine..." Then we walked off and he's just like "I was so happy when she called me a boy, why did she have to "correct" herselffff..." I felt so bad, he was so happy until she incorrectly corrected herself. And the problem was he was with his sister and she isn't too keen on the trans thing so Michael had to "act like he's a girl" and that everything's fine.

He started freaking out and apologizing. He actually said "You dress so gay, people will mistake you for a girl!" which was painful for her bc she was wearing skinny jeans and a t shirt (with her breasts forms). here i am, getting called ma'am and just trying to awkwardly correct them and say how they were right the first time. Zoey was panicing and i wanted to make her feel better but then i was dying bc i was being misgendered too. the conversation ended with "bye, girls!" it was awkward.
      in conclusion. you dont need to use a gendered greeting.

      This happened to me at camp:
      So we have this thing every night called senior social, where all the 12-16 year olds get to hang out for an hour from 9 to 10pm. I had made a group of friends, one of which was a guy. The guy, Caden, wasn't there one day, and senior social was over. A counsellor walks by us and goes: "alright ladies, go to your cabins". And I know it's dark but I'm still kinda dying. So I, like the dumbass I am, go: "I'm a dude, but ok". And then I walked away without waiting for an answer. I don't even know who that was.
      The End

    worst thing tho is when you think your out about it and then realize that half ur coworkers have no idea. and then trying to figure out who's cool and who's opinion of you changes.

    I'm still confused about my gender at the moment so I'm exploring the way I'm leaning towards (which is ftm trans) and your channel definitely puts things into perspective for me. I don't know if it's normal that I've just felt this way now because I know a lot of trans people who knew something was wrong quite young and then there's me who thought I was a girl for 12 years, then a year of undecided and another of complete mess of feelings of definitely not being a girl and I have no idea if that's normal or happened before but I don't know. Your channel helps though! Thank you 😊

      @alexanderb1355 7 років тому +14

      That's definitely normal! I was 16 when I first realised I definitely wasn't a girl and didn't want people to see and treat me like one and after that realisation it took a while to realise I'm actually a guy. I was convinced of being female for 16 years without any conscious doubts so if you feel like you identify as ftm then don't let your age give you any doubts, nor the fact that you might not have felt that way for 12 years because it's possible and definitely not unusual!

    • @zahvik5854

    I graduated high school in 1984. It was a small private school, so you knew everyone even if they weren’t in your grade. Decades later a lot of us were reunited on Facebook, and we all found out our friend Jaime (birth name; didn’t need changing) had transitioned FTM. This collective group of people in our forties reacted with a collective shrug. “Uh, yeah. That’s the least surprising news ever.” I was really proud of my class. That he was also gay took a minute for some of them to grasp, but overall I think for people born in the 1960’s, we did well.
    I don’t know why I’m writing this. I guess just to say people can be pretty supportive if you give them a chance. I think maybe that most people found out online was a good thing, so they could have whatever private reaction they needed to have without Jaime needing to hear it.

In a way that could be seen as her pulling her spring boobs out. my grandma looks at it a minute, turns to me and in a mortifyingly loud voice says "huh, I guess she doesn't want her boobs anymore than you want yours." I got weird looks the rest of the show.

      @watsonwrote 6 років тому +5

      Guin Wagstaff, you could talk to them about your feelings, though it might be easier to write them a letter so you can get your thoughts all sorted out.
      Maybe show them a video explaining what it means to be transgender.
      You could also request to see a doctor and/or therapist so you can talk about your feelings and see what steps to take next.
      Ask your parents if you can buy different clothes or cut your hair differently (if that's something you want).
      I'm not sure how transgender medical care is handled in your country, but since you're so young you have the opportunity to get on hormone blockers and basically go through a normal puberty as a boy. Your transition will be much easier since you'll enter adulthood as a man, physically, socially, and legally.
      If your parents are not supportive, don't lose hope. I would highly recommend finding support in places such as online transgender communities, your friends, other family members, potentially your school counselor (if you have one) and a therapist if you can see one

    Taking off a jumper in public because shirts love to move up and you have to either hold it down 'like a girl' or hope that no one sees it

    For me, one of the most awkward things is people thinking I am a lesbian. I was waiting at the bus stop the other day when this elderly woman started chatting with me about her granddaughter and how the granddaughter was looking for a girlfriend. I was flattered and uncomfortable at the same time.

    hope this suggestion isnt too intrusive, but can you make a video about how you felt about your body, through the years, and how that affected your intimacy. did it take you a long time to get to the point where you felt comfortable having sex or getting naked in front of your s/o. How was that process, was it pre-t? or before surgery. did you guys talk about boundaries and what you guys want and dont want to do before having sex? I feel like this type of video could be helpful to alot of trans people out there, especially if theyre virgins and have to struggle with conflicting thoughts about their bodies, and a desire for intimacy.

    Was going on a date with this nice woman. After the date and we were walking home she says; "I cannot stand how you can lie to yourself like this. Sorry I could not live or raise children with a lier. We can still be friends though." A different kind of friendzone... I have not spoken to her since.

    Firstly, I adore these videos. Your sense of humour is quirky and the topics wholesomely relatable.
    That said, I have a slight concern.
    I dunno if this is a good place to ask about it but... I had my shot today, and I've had a few. I didn't feel the needle at all. I didn't feel the fluid going into my leg. It was swift and painless (the site hurt after but not like normal). It wasn't my usual nurse, and the needle was also quite a bit smaller. Should I... be concerned? If anyone can shed some light, I'd be grateful!

      Eren Kemp Nah my dude, especially not since it was a smaller needle. I've had many injections in my life, and I've learned that even just being distracted can make you feel like the shot hasn't been done when it has. The nurse probably knows a better angle/ position to do it, or they just got lucky. If it doesn't really hit any nerves then it doesn't hurt. And the aching after is good, because it means your body has registered it.

    When I was at school I had random kids in younger years than me ask me if I was a boy or a girl. And me being the anxiety ridden teen I was just sort of mumbled “oh..um.. this is Awkward” and walked away. Or my friends answered for me.
    Ahhh teen years... how I don’t miss it.

    I have been dressing more masculine recently, and I have noticed something I never would have thought would happen. Apparently little kids call guys they don't know who are older than them 'sir'. It is kind of cute and apparently common too(?). I don't know, I asked my dude friends about it.

    I'm a 30 year old cis man and I couldn't grow facial hair to save my life. It's just genetics neither can any of my numerous uncles. I tried "shaving" to make my hair grow in thicker all I get now are whiskers I shave like once a month and it takes 30 seconds. No sexy 5 o'clock shadows for me! Funnily enough other men I tell this to are always jealous because they all have to shave daily. Lol 😂

    I particularly relate to the binder stuff, and I'm questioning whether facial hair will ever happen... Also, while working for hmv I've had a customer call me sir, only to correct themselves. I remember saying "no, you got it right the first time" - it doesn't seem to happen much anymore thankfully!
