A work colleague recently in front of another gay colleague who had just joined the organisation that I was 'Gay friendly'. It is in part thanks to a friend's dau, who is bi, who advised me to watch these videos a few years ago... I've learnt so much and tried to repel my old (parental prejudices). But I ve still got so much to if not learn to appreciate...
Genuinely made me cry. You can tell the mom cares, she just isn't educated about all of it, and it scares her to think that her baby might be going through something horrible mentally. She doesn't handle it the best way first, but at the end she grows. She hears the truth from Simon, realizes her mistake, and shows that she is going to try and accept her new son for who he is. She was right, he's not her Emilie anymore. But he's still her child.
THE FIRST SCENE IN THE SHOP IS SO RELATABLE Whenever I point out something that I find cool, mom says it's for boys and then proceeds to show me a barbie hoodie, like WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT TO WEAR BOY STUFF, it's so much more comfortable (sorry I had to edit it to be more accurate now since I'm no longer questioning anything)
I'm so sorry for you two guys, hope you can find the strength to come out to your important people and also to be and to show who you are. I never had those struggles of a trans* coming out, but as a person which is not straight. Whenever you are ready for this big step, wish you good luck, you'll make it 💚
a barbie hoodie really makes it better huh? something obviously soooo gendered. I’m sorry, and I completely understand what you’re going through. It’s going to be okay. if you feel ready to, what I did was I came out to my closest friends and I suddenly got so much more comfortable. thinking of being fully out to my school maybe soon. it gets better from here.
eight years ago i was a kid who had no words for what i wanted, and what felt wrong. i remember watching this over and over and over, not letting myself think about why i was so fascinated by it. i'm still alive today, and i'm not alone with it anymore and...i don't know. i'm just grateful. edit: from another year after writing this comment. i'm getting top surgery in less than a week. it gets better.
Wow this was very inspiring. In fact, this entire comment section is inspiring. I hope everything goes well in your life as a trans person, and that you are supported by people who care about you!

Simon comforting him right after the mom slapped him made my heart melt... I wish I had a supportive figure like him to help me through my struggles with gender identity too.
And loads of love to you!! Know that I support you and I'm here if you need to speak to anyone(I can give you my contact info if you want, just say) Remember that you're feelings are totally valid
Nope, we know very little about their overall relationship to say this is true. Yes, she was behaving like one in the part we saw, but that doesn't mean she's bad. Parents are human just as kids and just as kids need to come to term with their identity, so does their parents. Some people just know from their childhood they are straight, gay, cis, trans, ace etc. and they have no prob with that, some have to "find" themselves and come to terms with it, some will try to suppres themselves and to make themselves "normal". And the same is true about parents - some can accept their kid no matter what, some struggle but in the end they accept it, and some just throw their own kids overboard, 'cause they are not like they want them.
Is it? Relationship person of mine is transmasc and I'm unsure if he could relate to this - since every transition is different and his family supportive (he's told me of a really sweet situation involving a tie tho). For myself I enjoyed it for a number of sequences I could relate to.
I wish my parents...no. My bloodline. Would understand. They're all transphobic. I have 3 friends that i know would support me. I wanna escape. I wish my parents would be like that mother.
I have an older brother, 7 years older than me but ever since i was like 4, he was the worst brother ever. He hasen't changed for the better in 10 years. If you have a decent sibling, you are amazingly lucky. 😊😔
@@stacey9377 I'm autistic, so that's highly offensive putting the "too bad" at the end there. Just because your Autistic doesn't mean your not a human being and can't be treated like one.

Omg I just returned to this video after 3 years and deleted a comment from then that said “she is so pretty” Help. I really didn’t undestand the topic back then! Now I am happy to say it the right way: He is so pretty!
no one has every been as nice as simon was nice to her. my friends when I am upset they just either stand awkwardly and pat my back, or just be like there there and walk away. my family don't care
I know this is meant to be inspiring and motivation, and it is, definitely. But can we all just appreciate how amazing he looks, especially with the short hair? And the eyes! And the freckles!
To anyone watching this, please remember that binding with bandages is unsafe and can cause permanent rib damage. You can buy safe chest binders for the purpose of hiding your chest online. Also, please don't wear chest compression for more than 8 hours, while you sleep, or while exercising. It can also be a good idea to stretch afterward. Be safe!
@@someonecallsmenoodle....4236 That must be horrible, but, binding improperly can really hurt you. Could you get a binder and wear it when you're not around her?
@@Ælfgifu-1 It is... i know that.... She'll know it.. because i'm not old enough to buy a binder by myself... But it is my only wish for christmas, maybe she'll buy me one... if it is my only wish?
This movie was my awakening as a trans man in 2019. Now, I am away from my unsupportive family, have found my own family which loves me and supports me as who I am. Started HRT and getting top surgery in the next coming months. This movie gave me strength to stand up for myself and be myself. It's been 6 years since I came out 🏳️⚧️
"Take your tie off." The fact that all the comments immediately went to abuse (strangling, beating, etc.) says *a lot* about the shitty kind if parents we all had.
I always feel so so happy when i see a parent supporting their trans kids, there should be more people like you in the world. As a trans kid thank you for supporting when alot of the world doesnt
I haven't seen people commenting about this, but it should be adressed: If you bind, please don't do it like it's done at 2:50 it's unsafe. Get yourself a binder, keep it dry when wearing it (I don't know that much about washing a binder, so I can't give advice on that), don't exercise wearing your binder and wear it for about 8-10 hours max. Stay safe and remember that you are loved
I have a friend that is currently transitioning and saving up for surgery and I can’t say in words how proud and happy I am to see that he isn’t struggling with his self image anymore. I love him dearly, and to have that change from crying and hurting himself because he hated his body parts and how looking at himself made him feel to embracing his style and being so much more outgoing and actually feelings comfortable going outside with his friends has been a joy to witness. This Mini Movie is a really well done representation of anger within oneself, frustration from being ignored or “covered” for, finding acceptance, and overall freedom due to the outcome. Comment section is also so sweet and supportive ❤️
He protec He attac But most importantly He probs wants his tie bac Edit: I’m just now coming back to this two years later and where the fuck did all the likes come from holy shit. Over 5k omg!! I have achieved comedy thank you.
since this video is a trans film, here's some binding tips for my fellow trans babies out there wanting to bind! -make sure your binder is the right size. NOT TOO SMALL. if it is too small, it may compress too tight and can damage your ribs rlly bad. -dont wear it for more than 8-10 hours at the most. it can be very dangerous if worn for longer -DO NOT WEAR ONE WHILE SLEEPING. your breathing while sleeping is different from when you're awake, and it can possibly strangle you. -if you don't have a binder but are wanting to bind, DO NOT use bandages. it is EXTREMELY dangerous. instead, use two sports bras THAT FIT YOU and then put a big shirt on over top of them! stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have a question, and I’m hoping it doesn’t sound really stupid. I’ve never had a binder before and may get one in the future, how do I know if it’s too small?
I love the representation of the supportive older brother. I'm a trans man and If I didn't have my older brother's support against my mom's bs I wouldn't still be here. To all the accepting cis siblings: Thank you for seeing us for who we really are. And loving us even when it's hard for us to love ourselves
when this video first came out, i was a young trans boy strggling with heavy dysphoria. 8 years later and it's been a long journey. Not everyone I care about felt the same way about me, and I lost friends, family, and faced a lot of hatred from the world. I am so much happier now, having been on T for years, getting surgeries scheduled, carrying myself through college, working with mentors and looking to keep fighting for my dreams. It can happen. Things may not be perfect, and things might not even get easier, but you can be happy, and finding value in yourself is certainly worth it :)
You're perception of "Boy" is wrong, bcs that "Boy" is actually a "Girl!" "Gasp!" Yeah, I know it's such a hard concept for you guys, but if you used your BRAIN, it MIGHT just help!
DO NOT BIND WITH BANDAGES!!! Bind safely and NEVER EVER bind with bandages or a binder/bra or something too tight. You don’t want broken ribs or to hurt yourself. Seeing that part made me cry because it’s so sad that they couldn’t get what they needed! I hope the best for everyone reading this! I love you ❤️ Be safe!
I see this comment pretty much on every video/film which shows this ... keep in mind this is not a how to, but often shown in the context of people exploring gender affirmation and not having access to all possibilities. I've had the chance to do this with someone I was dating (almost 15 years ago) together with a transmasc friend and it was amazing to see them glow up - being fully aware that this is a temporary step (for ~6 hours) and an attempt. Said person has come out as transmasc since then and has had his top surgery.
I did, and I think Simon did too. I think that the only reason Simon gave it to her, was because he knew that if she started hitting him, he was strong enough to protect him.
I remember watching this when i was like 10 and I didn't understand a DaMn thing, I just remembered that the girl turned into a boy and I got happy- Now I feel so happy watching this again after years
exactly I got so giddy watching this while I still thought I was a girl. only about about a year ago I found out that I was trans and rewatching this really affected me.
@Teran Poka well I'm sorry to not be up to your standards but I don't really care, I wasn't "brainwashed" and if you're a transphobe please kindly fuck off
this was amazing 🥺 i'm not trans but i'm trying to understand what trans ppl have to go through... when Emil's mother asked for Simon's tie I thought she was going to beat him
My left brain was screaming “B*TCH SH*T F*CKING GOD NONONONO NOPE NOPE B*TCH SH*T F*CKING GOD NONONONO NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE ANXIETYYYYYYYYY” and my right brain was screaming “F*CK YEAH, YOU SLAY AND DO IT KING!” and everything was a mess ._.
Half of me was screaming "YES YOU DONT NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE" and the other half of me was screaming "NO DONT CUT IT YOURSELF CUTTING YOUR OWN HAIR DOESNT ALWAYS WORK"
GURL/BOI(duno what you want to be called or are called so)YA NAME IS MIN YOONGI SO YOU LIKE BTS AND SUPPORT LGBTQ+ HECK YEAH THATS WHAT I WANT TO SEE💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is what the lgbt community was made to support, it was made as a sign that you’re not alone and that there will always be a shoulder for you to cry on but now- it’s just not the same
Well, I don't speak English very well but, at 8:20, the mother calls Simon ''honey'' and if i'm not mistaken, this word is used for husband and wife in general, that's why I think Simon might be Emilie's father or stepfather.
I used to watch this everyday when I first realized I was trans, it just comforted me so much. I've been out for 6 years and im starting testosterone this december :)
Thank you all so much for all love and support! Even though some comments come out with an opinion I don't agree with, it's amazing that this has started a discussion about the topic. The whole crew behind is so honored by your kind words. We can make the world a better place together
@•Itz_Izzy • I mean it wasn't, binding is literally why I'm still alive I'm just upset a lot of people don't have access to a real binder and resort to ace bandages and break their ribs
You know 10 years ago I watched this at 8 years old I think or maybe 7 I have been out for a decade now and this was one of the things that helped me understand who I was, and come out. It so important these short films are out there.
To anyone watching please PLEASE never bind with bandages. I know dysphoria really sucks but broken ribs are worse. WEARING TWO (but no more than two) SPORTS BRAS HELPS AND AN OVERSIZED SHIRT. Stay safe, please eat or drink something, have a great day/night and remember you are loved
Thank you so much! I am not transgender, in fact, a demi-girl, but I'm also not that happy with my breast. So, thanks for giving me tips on how to make them "vanish" or at least seem like they did.
This short film had me screaming from beginning to end. I cried at the ending scene. Thank you so much to these directors/producers/artists. Queer art is so important. Your talent brought me back to such horrible parts in my life. That’s the mark of a true artist, to get the viewer to feel things. I relate on so many levels. Thank you so much for your art ❤
Just a reminder. Please please please PLEASE never bind with ace bandages. It could harm you and damage your body. 💕💕 Edit: awww thanks for the likes on this comment!!!! Glad to see others staying safe and not putting themselves in a harmful situation!!!
Watched this 6 years ago. I’m 25 now and I know I’m not trans. Been thru this sort of turmoil and it was the shittiest time of my life, but in the end I figured out that I didn’t need anyone’s acceptance except my own. Tl;dr I came out as gay / tomboy. Good luck to everyone out there still questioning their identity. One day you’ll have your answer.

To anyone watching this, please remember that binding with bandages is unsafe and can cause permanent rib damage. You can buy safe chest binders for the purpose of hiding your chest online. Also, please don't wear chest compression for more than 8 hours, while you sleep, or while exercising. It can also be a good idea to stretch afterward.
Be safe!
ty for this also i made the likes 69 🤣😭
but my mom don't want me to have a chest binder.
@@someonecallsmenoodle....4236 That must be horrible, but, binding improperly can really hurt you.
Could you get a binder and wear it when you're not around her?
@@Ælfgifu-1 It is...
i know that....
She'll know it.. because i'm not old enough to buy a binder by myself...
But it is my only wish for christmas, maybe she'll buy me one... if it is my only wish?

This movie was my awakening as a trans man in 2019. Now, I am away from my unsupportive family, have found my own family which loves me and supports me as who I am. Started HRT and getting top surgery in the next coming months. This movie gave me strength to stand up for myself and be myself. It's been 6 years since I came out 🏳️⚧️
i thought the mom was gonna frickin kill someone w that tie lol
same when she put it on emile I thought she was just going choke her...I honestly got scared

"Take your tie off."
The fact that all the comments immediately went to abuse (strangling, beating, etc.) says *a lot* about the shitty kind if parents we all had.
yeah, that was where i thought it was gonna go too, man parents can really mess up their kids sometimes
Yup. :'/
yeah, i was really worried for a bit
Yeah...
i thought it was going towards that too and I started crying when it didn't and she put the tie on her child-
The way that Simon hugs Emilie at 12:43 melts my heart, and I can only ever dream about being loved so deeply
ArtisticMystery T-V I'm pretty sure they're siblings in case you meant love in a different way
I just loved how he turned her head to his chest and let her cry while he glared at thier mom
I mean... I don't have any siblings, I just want someone that cares about me so much

My son is trans. Wathing this is heartbreaking, thinking of some of the pain these kids have to go through...

I haven't seen people commenting about this, but it should be adressed: If you bind, please don't do it like it's done at 2:50 it's unsafe. Get yourself a binder, keep it dry when wearing it (I don't know that much about washing a binder, so I can't give advice on that), don't exercise wearing your binder and wear it for about 8-10 hours max. Stay safe and remember that you are loved

I have a friend that is currently transitioning and saving up for surgery and I can’t say in words how proud and happy I am to see that he isn’t struggling with his self image anymore. I love him dearly, and to have that change from crying and hurting himself because he hated his body parts and how looking at himself made him feel to embracing his style and being so much more outgoing and actually feelings comfortable going outside with his friends has been a joy to witness.
This Mini Movie is a really well done representation of anger within oneself, frustration from being ignored or “covered” for, finding acceptance, and overall freedom due to the outcome.
Comment section is also so sweet and supportive ❤️
He protec
He attac
But most importantly
He probs wants his tie bac

since this video is a trans film, here's some binding tips for my fellow trans babies out there wanting to bind!
-make sure your binder is the right size. NOT TOO SMALL. if it is too small, it may compress too tight and can damage your ribs rlly bad.
-dont wear it for more than 8-10 hours at the most. it can be very dangerous if worn for longer
-DO NOT WEAR ONE WHILE SLEEPING. your breathing while sleeping is different from when you're awake, and it can possibly strangle you.
-if you don't have a binder but are wanting to bind, DO NOT use bandages. it is EXTREMELY dangerous. instead, use two sports bras THAT FIT YOU and then put a big shirt on over top of them!
stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️
True peace with ones self only comes when u learn to except the entirety of your being. They need to stay safe alright...
I have a question, and I’m hoping it doesn’t sound really stupid. I’ve never had a binder before and may get one in the future, how do I know if it’s too small?
@@shadowscribbles9078 if it hurts I guess
This helps so much!!! Thank you
what wearing bandages can cause? what’s the danger? i’m not questioning that fact i just don’t know why

@Madilyn Haupt "ITS" a girl? XDD
@Madilyn Haupt Madilyn, its a boy, this all happened after she cut his hair and turned into a boy.
@Madilyn Haupt no, they are a boy. The correct pronoun for that specific person is him/he
@Madilyn Haupt He's a fucking transsexual he's not a damn girl. Have you learned nothing from the video?
"Welcome to Mcdonalds what can we get you today."

I love the representation of the supportive older brother. I'm a trans man and If I didn't have my older brother's support against my mom's bs I wouldn't still be here. To all the accepting cis siblings: Thank you for seeing us for who we really are. And loving us even when it's hard for us to love ourselves

@@thatonekid4077 True tho
when this video first came out, i was a young trans boy strggling with heavy dysphoria. 8 years later and it's been a long journey. Not everyone I care about felt the same way about me, and I lost friends, family, and faced a lot of hatred from the world. I am so much happier now, having been on T for years, getting surgeries scheduled, carrying myself through college, working with mentors and looking to keep fighting for my dreams. It can happen. Things may not be perfect, and things might not even get easier, but you can be happy, and finding value in yourself is certainly worth it :)

You're perception of "Boy" is wrong, bcs that "Boy" is actually a "Girl!" "Gasp!" Yeah, I know it's such a hard concept for you guys, but if you used your BRAIN, it MIGHT just help!

DO NOT BIND WITH BANDAGES!!! Bind safely and NEVER EVER bind with bandages or a binder/bra or something too tight. You don’t want broken ribs or to hurt yourself. Seeing that part made me cry because it’s so sad that they couldn’t get what they needed! I hope the best for everyone reading this! I love you ❤️ Be safe!
I see this comment pretty much on every video/film which shows this ... keep in mind this is not a how to, but often shown in the context of people exploring gender affirmation and not having access to all possibilities. I've had the chance to do this with someone I was dating (almost 15 years ago) together with a transmasc friend and it was amazing to see them glow up - being fully aware that this is a temporary step (for ~6 hours) and an attempt. Said person has come out as transmasc since then and has had his top surgery.
@@1337Shockwav3 Awww, I'm so happy for him!
the video: * is about a trans boy *

Ik right
Yeah ;-;
Yeah it's bugging me quite a bit lol
-Don’t you mean trans girl? or am I getting something wrong here..- *Ok I get it-* *No more comments on my reply please-*
@@Lover_.. you would typically call FTM(female to male) trans boys/men, as to not call them girls when they are not. :)
When the mom told the Simon to take of his tie, who else thought she’d hit the son with it?
me-
me, i was scared for him for a sec :O
I did, and I think Simon did too. I think that the only reason Simon gave it to her, was because he knew that if she started hitting him, he was strong enough to protect him.
Me-
I feared she'd try to strangle him.
I remember watching this when i was like 10 and I didn't understand a DaMn thing, I just remembered that the girl turned into a boy and I got happy-
Now I feel so happy watching this again after years
Same but I was 12 back then
exactly I got so giddy watching this while I still thought I was a girl. only about about a year ago I found out that I was trans and rewatching this really affected me.
Khushi Kris Kay yoo sameee
@Teran Poka tf is that supposed to mean

this was amazing 🥺 i'm not trans but i'm trying to understand what trans ppl have to go through... when Emil's mother asked for Simon's tie I thought she was going to beat him
How do he look so cute as both genders???
*I can’t look good in one.*
Hahahahahah
Danmmmm don't say that to yourself I bet your gorgeous what ever gender
Ikr! I get what you’re saying, but remember he isn’t both genders, just trans
looks ugly as a boy but its truly a girl so gonna be ugly the other gender lol
Ris3 Trippin how can you say that! One, he doesn’t looks ugly, two, it’s his choice who he wants to be.

How do u know that it’s her brother or dad?
orrr stepdad?
Well, I don't speak English very well but, at 8:20, the mother calls Simon ''honey'' and if i'm not mistaken, this word is used for husband and wife in general, that's why I think Simon might be Emilie's father or stepfather.
Yes but hOW DID HE CUT HIS HAIR SO WELL

This short film had me screaming from beginning to end. I cried at the ending scene. Thank you so much to these directors/producers/artists. Queer art is so important. Your talent brought me back to such horrible parts in my life. That’s the mark of a true artist, to get the viewer to feel things. I relate on so many levels. Thank you so much for your art ❤
