    I'll be honest, I've never heard a better mark of masculinity than carrying $2000 worth of electronics down a ravine while wearing flip-flops and board shorts, and inevitably eating ass into the creek.
    They say transition never ends, but like, that's kinda the whole shtick right there. Getting a little teary-eyed. I feel like I just watched someone level up in real life.

      Why are rich and famous depressed?
      lets list the reasons;
      they`re trans, faking life 100% daily
      their master is lucifer, the father of lies.
      they have no looks, needs to fake these,
      they have no talent, needs to fake these.

      we since birth live in the devils kingdom, this earth here, it shall be created anew, but not yet, still is the church time = still time for souls to get saved and be raptured up. until we come to repentance and born again, we remain living according to the devil.
      devils expectations to us are:
      lie/deceive kill destroy remain wicked sinner who praise death daily.
      because devil is the father of lies:
      John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

      God made trans people for the same reason He made wheat but not bread or grapes but not wine, so that humanity may share in the act of creation; the divine alchemy of the self.
      Trans people are beautiful and still made in God's image, just with a little more creativity and expression. Nobody is ruining what God made for them, they are becoming what He intended for them to be from the very beginning.

    What a beautiful celebration of Pride. A pride parade is often a loud celebration of the extraordinary (and it certainly has its place in this month), but it's the serene mundanity of the everyday, a happy few days where maybe nothing extraordinary happens, that really gets to the point of pride for me. May we all get to enjoy what is best in life, without judgment or interference.
    Keep thriving!

    Not only is this helping the rest of us trans folk as a reminder we can thrive, but I also hope this is a message to the transphobes who view us as these obscure outcasts. While some trans people don’t have the privilege of a supportive family, the families who do remain supportive show that we are human and rejecting a loved one for being LGBT is a choice. Transphobes have made a choice and they are on the wrong side of history. We DO have people who love us. We DO have people who have no problem with our transness and we can thrive. We are not your stereotypes. Not predators, not outcasts, and we do have lives, roles, and contributions to society. We are people and won’t be dehumanized. This video might seem simple but I love it and everything it stands for. Thanks Ty ❤ I’ve been watching you since the beginning and appreciate you more than you know.

      Judging by the "invisible" comments, I'm guessing you received less than supportive feedback on here, so here I am.
      I know what it's like to be financially poor, I can't express enough how much the phrase "nonthriving" resonates to my very marrow.
      I'm *not* going to pretend I know you or your situation, that would be rude at best and toxic at worst. What I am saying is that I read what you wrote and I was moved because I can deeply empathize with what you were experiencing.
      As I said, I don't know you or the specifics of your situation so all I can offer at the moment is that empathy. But, if you *do* want to talk (even if it's just to vent); I'm offering an ear, open mind, and no judgement.
      If you don't want to, that's understandable as well. I just wanted to let you know that someone saw you, heard you, and really did care about what you said.
      I genuinely hope things get better for you - even if it's just that you can be a little more you more freely.

    Just got back from pride today and have been feeling like shit after seeing an almost purely negative response online, but seeing this is genuinely making me cry. It seems like such a givin for somone to be living a normal life but for us trans folk its so alien and its really bittersweet to watch this. Im sure you know this already but your an amazing inspiration and you give me and im sure alot of others hope that they can live as a normal person one day

    This was very enjoyable! Very genuine and honest. True happiness is made of little everyday things. Like putting plants in pots! And it's the same for all people. Queer or not. You guys are so dope! Just as goofy and nature loving as my gf and myself. Love you! And "The Big Guy" 🐈‍⬛ looks a lot like my Lusifer.
    I'm just starting my journey. Only 5 months on T, almost 39 but feel like 19. I've got to know 3 transbros so I don't feel alone anymore. Just had a huge Pride Parade 🏳️‍🌈 in my hometown, and our newly elected president of state is queer! It gets better! 😊

    i (and surely many more people) needed this video in heat of the current events. i was really losing hope and trying to convince myself that transition is not worth it and that i can just live as a girl. but seeing you live your life happy as a man made me really reconsider. of course not everything is going to be perfect, though i am sure living as your true self really does help make it less heavy. your content is really helping me and other trans people who are yet to start transitioning or are just feeling lonely in a world full of hate. i really appreciate what you are doing and i wish you the best.

    (Something like that for me too so I thoroughly appreciated the creek reenactment.)
    In all seriousness though, I needed this. Been feeling like an invisible, unwelcome afterthought.
    Fuk you though! You can’t give plant queeers, stabby-bloody shoes, fur family, summer home in the sun-complete with creek, foxily-clad b-b-babe of a fiancée, skating, Papaw’s affection, iconic hairy toes, toys and schitt, and your general effortlessly cool vibe all in one video. You’re thriving out of control.

    Thanks so much for this video ty. I really needed something like this right now. While my state isn't one of the one's going crazy (yet) there is still a lot of uncertainty. And personally I'm in one of those waiting phases in my transition, so I've felt stuck and kinda depressed. But this helped me remember that things get better, I just have to give it time and be patient. I know for a fact from watching your videos all these years that it's taken you a while to get here. But that you did get here, which is inspiring and uplifting to think about. One day I will be where I hope to be, I just gotta not give up and keep on trucking :3

    These kinds of videos are so important; not just for trans folk, but also for all the people constantly questioning our existence. I feel so much of the conversation is centered around this "debate" and educational videos often make people on the fence feel argumentative. I think the best tool for de-radicalizing and getting people to come to understanding is just existing and living a normal happy life.
    I've had some of this experience with my transphobic family members. Once they saw a trans family member being happier and so much more motivated to get their shit together; they came around to being supportive. The best way to fight propaganda is to thrive and form personal connections with people that dispel all the blind hate and illusions people form of the "trans strawman".
    Stay strong out there, seek validation within yourself and people will come to respect you.

    This is a wonderful and beautiful video that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It also reminds me of a terribly embarrassing story wherein I was backpacking and went to a creek near the campsite to fill up a water bag. Decided to crouch on a rock near a waterfall and use gravity to my advantage. Held the bag out to the waterfall and was immediately dragged headfirst into the creek as the bag filled instantly. Thought I could save face by telling my friends that I just decided to take a dip while collecting water, but I looked up and saw them all laughing, having watched the whole thing go down. Thriving in nature indeed :P
