I have a question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to but do you dance with a binder on or did you have top surgery? I'm new to the channel btw.
jacob pankratz lmao projecting much? You’d never call him a girl face to face becuase you’re a fuckin pussy. I dare you to tell me Buck Angel looks like a woman
Gotta remember that there is also the general improvement you'd make over a lifetime of dancing. A dance from before and after is 💯 going to be better if you practice as much as it seems like he does. Especially if it's like 5 years apart. I noticed the biggest difference was the switch to hip-hop.. Hip-hop tends to be a much more masculine style so it makes sense in all aspects why the improvement happens. A teenage girl dancing v to a 20-something male.. Very different capabilities.
Literally! The first video after he came out comparing 8 months after and 2 years before that. Not only did his dancing improve, he has so much more confidence, and it's so good to see!
this is it.. this is the video that finally cracked my egg! im now 1,5 years on T myself and i couldnt be happier. Thank you so much for uploading this!!
Yeah, I dropped it when I was 5 and now want to get back into dancing but don't have the flexibility/self-esteem/body/time/any idea what to do and what kind of dancing I want to do
@@pebblespark9812 oh same I danced from 1 to 3rd grade and it made me super happy and active but I had to drop it because I was moving to another country and now I think how would I be if I still danced, now I feel like a rusty seesaw lol
I actually used to love dancing. I was in it K-7 and I met my best friend while doing it. I left for mental health reasons and I’ve not fully healed yet. I really respect people who do it though!
Dance is a huge part of my life which I lost a passion for as I started focusing on schoolwork and my art This was inspiring in more ways then one- legit I can't explain how much I admire him
Kaydence Handley no they’re being transphobic - since he’s transitioning / transitioned he goes by he / him pronouns... ftm transition. “correcting” them to use “she” just disregard his pronouns.
you ever watch someone perform a sick dance routine and have the sudden urge to begin your own dance career even though the only experience you have is from taking ballet lessons once when you were five? cause that's how I feel after watching this guy
Same! It looked like the 'lady lumps' were throwing off his timing and were kinda 'in the way' for what he was trying to achieve. You can see the freedom in the later clips, its so wonderful 🥰
That is what I first noticed too... like before transition danced better than I ever could but after transition the confidence in the moves just skyrocketed!
I like how he's in the center in most of the group dances he's in Edit: I'm pretty sure this is the most likes any of my UA-cam comments have ever gotten, thanks guys
I saw this when it first came out, and every once in a while youtube tosses it back out for me, and I ALWAYS watch it. A year ago my son came out as trans, and now I'm getting to watch his timeline as a singer! Wow, what a difference a year makes! -- both as a singer, and in becoming a man. So proud of both of you! It just shows, always follow your heart -- whoever you feel you are, and the things you really love that make you YOU. Meanwhile, I'll wait for youtube to recommend this again in six months; it's a beautiful transformation and I am HERE for it! xo ❤️
I love watching him slowly find his style, in music and in fashion and everything you can just tell he’s becoming more and more confident in himself :)

@Springs_ Of_the_irish unfortunately men are expected to show little to know emotion in my experience. but don’t let that stop you! be whoever you want! prove them wrong!
@Springs_ Of_the_irish not saying that men have way less privilege than women, but the other way around. there are ups and downs between the both sexes but the ups of men greatly outnumber the downs of them.
@Springs_ Of_the_irish I don't know what country you live in, but in mine women are the ones doing everything in the house "traditionnaly" (it has changed a lot these last years), and before you ask yes they also have a "regular" job at the same time. So the burden society accepts to put on "men" and "women" are just really a terrible and you shouldn't base your personal health on following them. People embrassing their humanity is just the most beautiful thing... I expect exactly the same thing from anyone and I think more people than you think are like me ^^ (at least these are the ones you'll want to keep as friends or even work with)
@Springs_ Of_the_irish where i live women do most the heavy lifting (figuratively and literally) Also being a woman comes with way more downsides than being a man does. If anything you'd have more privilege if you transitioned (if you pass as a man)
As soon as you came out, you are clearly so much more sure of yourself. You look into the camera/audience more rather than looking down or hiding behind your hair. It’s beautiful to see.
his moves have gotten a lot more sharper and more confident after he started transitioning which says a lot about his growing confidence in himself and his gender
My mom said when I was 3 in 2003 I sang the EXACT same song. She was shook that other kids did too! Didn't help we were in Dominican Republic and I sang that infront of family that didn't speak english
Just because someone is trans, doesn't mean they are uncomfortable in certain clothes. Some trans men wear dresses, skirts, "feminine" clothing in general and that doesn't make them any less trans. You never know, he may have liked them.

@jacob pankratz homeboy how much time do you have on your hands to be responding to almost EVERY comment on this video? get a job you transphobic bum. this is pathetic
I feel like as soon as you started to transition you were hitting your moves harder. There was more commitment and confidence. Which I think just shows that you were instantly feeling more comfortable in your skin by starting the process of making the outside match the inside. I'm really happy for you!
I love how u can immediately see the difference in confidence as soon as you started taking testosterone, it’s really amazing and I’m so happy for you!
No, I was nearly on the way, but in the last moment I see what was my problem.. idk but I think that the behaviour our people around us do this with us. I felt misunderstand with my feelings and get triggered from people all around me. I think it is Easter to say that somebody is trans. I think the most important thing is to check, what our soul wants. I lived like a boy til 2017 ... But I am a girl and that is correct. It's incorrect to show people ,,aw I can be everything" what is, when the first humans would be animals, or plants? What about these? Are they crazy? I think the transition is paradox with our natural being. And it's unfair, cause a dog can't say that he want to be an other being. I think in so much spaces and my opinion is, that very less people think in the future. Like 10, 100 and 1000 years. So yes.
I like watching his hair as an indicator of how he feels about himself, in the years/months coming up to him coming out you can see how insecure he felt and once he came out you can finally see his face and how confident he felt
Bro, obviously you know this video has helped many people over the 6 years it's been up. I remember watching it when it first came out and occasionally coming back to it over the years, just hoping that one day I'd be able to be out and transition. Today, I watch this video again. I'm 20 years old now compared to the 14 year old who first watched it in awe. In the past few months I've come out as trans to the last person that was stopping me from physically transitioning and today I took my first testosterone shot. I'm sure I'll be back every now in then in the future too. But long story short, thank you for posting this, it is one of those videos that has gotten me through a lot over time.
@@ajlee2168 I meant dress in a way people would generally consider masculine. Obviously there’s no real way tor a guy to dress. I just want to dress in a way that makes people associate me with masculinity
I love that you supported and documented this. Your son is a beautiful person and a gifted dancer, and it was wonderful to see him coming into his own. Wishing him a joyful future.
He was hot when he was a she and remains hot as a he but differently hot. Of course being bi I found him hot both as a he and a she anyways. Though some people do get hotter when they change genders and that's when you know they made a right move. This person was going to be hot regardless of gender. Some people no matter what they do or what happens to them they are just hot period.
Hot as both, but definitely more confident as a guy. It feels like he grew into his own skin during that transition. Like he wasn't really at ease before then? I'm so glad that he made the choice that was best for him.
Same! I’m a trans guy who does musical theater and many ppl say I’m not trans bcc it’s “girly” it’s funny I’m like the only straight boy I know who does theater
I feel like he dances with more power and confidence after his transition ...... only me ...................... yeah I thought so also I like him either way he's good looking
He 100% is more confident and comfortable with himself now. Transphobes can fuck off (*cough* not gonna name, names even tho I wanna call some people out for it *cough, cough*) HE will be HIMSELF and nothing YOU say about it can stop him, asshole
for me, this is fascinating for two reasons, 1) seeing you change physically and become more confident in yourself and 2) i'm disabled from the waist down, so watching people dance always has me in awe.
I don't know if you'll read this, but when I saw this video for the first time, like 4 years ago, I got fascinated by Lucifer and the coreo, that's the reason I became a shawol and you're the reason why I dance now. I came back because I'm a few months before starting a dance degree, so thanks ❤️
jacob pankratz HE is a boy whether or not you think so. Of course supportive people are great but normally less accepting people are tolerated. In this case I feel it would beneficial for everyone if you merely avoid this content rather than insulting the people who produce it. Attempting to hurt or insult someone is always kind of a crumby thing to do but I don’t hold it against you personally because I was raised to think similarly. When I realised I was non binary I had to seriously reevaluate those ideas and I hope you do to. If not to improve yourself at least to be a kinder individual.
As someone who swings any and all ways, you were really hot before and after but I can really tell how much you came out of your skin after. Especially in the side by side. Your movements are more practiced but also you seem much more willing to just go for it and commit to the movements. overall you're a really awesome dancer. You were clearly born to be a dancer no matter what's on the outside.
It's really interesting to see how much more your moves seem to HIT and POP so sharply after you came out. You seem to have always been a talented dancer but It's like you freed your body to really commit to the moves once you acknowledged who you were internally. It's crazy, and so neat! A+ dude, really enjoyed seeing you come into your own here.
This was my first look into the world of transgender and really did a lot for me in realizing that what I was feeling was normal. Thank you for helping me realize that I'm also trans.
@@gibby9928 Hi! I'm a trans guy currently taking testosterone, so let me answer those questions! Testosterone affects the say your body distributes fat (Fat will move from the hips/thighs/butt to the belly, typically) and the way you gain muscle. It doesn't make the breasts dissapear completely, but it can reduce the size of the chest. (Breasts are made of a lot of fat! So it moves around too after t!) However, in order to completely get rid of breasts, one has to undergo a surgery called mastectomy, more commonly referred to as "top surgery". Depending on the country and specifics, it can take a lot of time to get a mastectomy, so in the meantime transgender guys use what you call a "binder". A binder is like an undershirt, except it's been designed to squish the breasts strongly against the chest, flattening them quite a bit. (Think sports bra but really really efficient.) Obviously, the smaller the chest, the easier to bind it is. So here you go! Testosterone doesn't remove the chest per se, but it does help with the body shape changing. Those things can take a lot of time though, and the time needed for the changes to appear is different for everyone. Everyone has different reactions to the testosterone, and everyone needs a different dosage that you determine with your endocrinologist. For example, what came faster for me was the voice, which started dropping only 10 days after my first injection! However, it takes a lot of time for me to grow facial hair. On the contrary, I have a trans friend who got facial hair around the 3rd month! And his voice dropped much slower than mine. So it's all different, you can't really predict exactly what T will do first and how much it'll work. But it does give some amazing changes!
This is an amazing journey..l really appreciate how you went through all of this and managed to keep dancing when dance can be such a physically exposing thing. You’re awesome.
This was interesting cuz I see people saying "oh he's so much more confident after the transition!" But he looks fantastic before to tbh. His fashion style stayed similar. His dance style evolved obviously but stayed true to a centeral kpop thing. To me this really shows that just because a person transitions doesn't mean they magically become someone else. No matter what gender you are, you will still be you and don't let anyone guilt you into not transitioning.
That's the beauty of getting rid of toxic masculinity that makes people think wearing certain things makes you masculine or feminine automatically. I'm glad we are finally moving past that.
I think they mean that he looks much more confident in his dancing now that he feels like he is in his own body and is out and don’t have anything to hide. He has always been the same person, it’s just the confidence change.
Ok but watch. As soon as he comes out and so hes transitioning you can see how his dancing improves and how he now feels more comfortable in his body. How his self image improves. Keep it going man! You're doing great!
When he got into KPOP and danced fricking LUCIFER BY SHINEE, duuuuudeeeeeee that song is so fricking hard, i dont know how you did that but i wanna learn now.
no for real,,,, i heard lucifer for two seconds, paused it, and went searching for a lucifer comment, and BRO that dance took me deadass months to learn LMAOOO
I love how - regardless if the gendered nature of the dance moves, it doesn't seem to bother him either way, but there's the definitive change in confidence, the sharpness and crispness to his movements, the more in love with his body he gets... ❤
Y'all I just realized I can't math apparently - the last two should be 4 and 4.5 years, not 5 and 5.5 hahaha OOP- 😅 😅 😅 😅 😅 😅 😅 😅 😅 srry
beckdrop Are you a trans BTS fan as well!? I'm ftm as well!! By the way, AWESOME EXO Call Me Baby dance! It was spot on!

Yep
He kinda looks like Kirishima
exactly!
@@moren8689 Yeah he actually kinda does.
The amount of k-pop... can we officially stan this wonderful man?
Yeah shinee
I fell in love even more knowing he likes k pop
yaaas
I don't like k-pop but mad respect for your pfp, ddlc's a wonderful game
Ahh yes i’m a kpop stan and a weeb
I feel like as soon as you started to transition you were hitting your moves harder. There was more commitment and confidence. Which I think just shows that you were instantly feeling more comfortable in your skin by starting the process of making the outside match the inside. I'm really happy for you!
the amount of kpop in this video makes me so happy

So true
Legit you can see how he becomes more comfortable within himself when he transitions. It shows in how much his dancing improves & i love it sm.

Olivia Johnson herself***
Uhhhh he’s a she 🤷🏻♂️
Lucas C Actually he identifies as male so "himself" is correct.
Luis Urbina incorrect
I love how u can immediately see the difference in confidence as soon as you started taking testosterone, it’s really amazing and I’m so happy for you!
I’d love to see how much you’ve improved since then! Thank you for sharing!
bruh he didn’t just transition
he transitioned straight to kpop idol like damn
Paige Allison hell yeah he did 😂 I mean he just hit us with idimoni Jungkook scale in Jungkook 😂
That is why the transition goes on. Crazy. She is a beautiful girl, already! I can't see a boy or men, sorry.
Nash 420 you must have a fundamental misunderstanding of a transition then, my friend
No, I was nearly on the way, but in the last moment I see what was my problem.. idk but I think that the behaviour our people around us do this with us. I felt misunderstand with my feelings and get triggered from people all around me. I think it is Easter to say that somebody is trans. I think the most important thing is to check, what our soul wants. I lived like a boy til 2017 ... But I am a girl and that is correct. It's incorrect to show people ,,aw I can be everything" what is, when the first humans would be animals, or plants? What about these? Are they crazy? I think the transition is paradox with our natural being. And it's unfair, cause a dog can't say that he want to be an other being. I think in so much spaces and my opinion is, that very less people think in the future. Like 10, 100 and 1000 years. So yes.
We will see, how many people say in 30 years that was a false way :) til then, have a lot of fun in life and think more about things
If he's wearing a binder while dancing: *heightened respect*
Yeah he said in one of the comments that in most of them after he came out he was wearing a binder
Ikr
He is
that’s mad respect
@Pax yeah i once played football in a binder and stayed in bed for 3 days straight cuz the pain and couldn't take it off I had to cut it off😭
I like watching his hair as an indicator of how he feels about himself, in the years/months coming up to him coming out you can see how insecure he felt and once he came out you can finally see his face and how confident he felt
Randy Boogenvia he
@@randyboogenvia6252 The whole point of this video is this girl's transition to male, thus being now known as a "he" 👍
Randy Boogenvia- No❤️
@@randyboogenvia6252 bitch where? he is a whole ass man.
How she* ;)
Bro, obviously you know this video has helped many people over the 6 years it's been up. I remember watching it when it first came out and occasionally coming back to it over the years, just hoping that one day I'd be able to be out and transition. Today, I watch this video again. I'm 20 years old now compared to the 14 year old who first watched it in awe. In the past few months I've come out as trans to the last person that was stopping me from physically transitioning and today I took my first testosterone shot. I'm sure I'll be back every now in then in the future too.
But long story short, thank you for posting this, it is one of those videos that has gotten me through a lot over time.
He looks like a k pop guy.the way he dresses, the style of his hair the way he moves ... Incredible
This gave me so many outfit ideas now that I’m trying to dress like a guy thank you sm
For real. he’s got style
what does that even mean 'dress like a guy'?
@@ajlee2168 I meant dress in a way people would generally consider masculine. Obviously there’s no real way tor a guy to dress. I just want to dress in a way that makes people associate me with masculinity

High tops for days :))))
The fact that people were shaking their booty in 1993 is hilarious to me
tolu tills lmfao
Really? Then you're going to die laughing to know that they were shaking their booty in 1963. I know. I remember.
Really not that long ago lmao....
Wait.. is this comment implying that 1993 was so long ago..?
How could they shake their booty? They’re so obsessed with being skinny legends that they rattle their booty.
I love that you supported and documented this. Your son is a beautiful person and a gifted dancer, and it was wonderful to see him coming into his own. Wishing him a joyful future.
Why do I feel like a nostalgic proud parent after watching this video?? (you are older than me but still)
Oh crud, same.
its a normal feeling.
I know right? Its like I wanna say, "Wow hes a really good dancer, and so attractive!" But also "They grow up so fast, what a cruel worLD-"
Bonidee Lee how is testosterone a performance enhancer? also i don’t believe we fit the definition of sycophants.
Bonidee Lee but do you actually understand the reason he takes it? its not for the physical benefits. its for mental relief.
1. Dance moves are amazing, like super inspired
2. Mad respect dude
3. Those outfits were cool
4. Anyone else think he got way hotter? 😅
He was hot when he was a she and remains hot as a he but differently hot. Of course being bi I found him hot both as a he and a she anyways. Though some people do get hotter when they change genders and that's when you know they made a right move. This person was going to be hot regardless of gender. Some people no matter what they do or what happens to them they are just hot period.
Hot as both, but definitely more confident as a guy. It feels like he grew into his own skin during that transition. Like he wasn't really at ease before then? I'm so glad that he made the choice that was best for him.
I think he couldn’t be as hot as a girl because.. He wasn’t a girl. Being himself made him more confident, and so elegant and so beautiful!
Brooklyn Moe he is like hotter then alllllllll the guys in my school
Loved watching you evolve from 'these are the dance steps' to 'this is how my body wants to move'. Mad props to you!
THIS THIS THIS
I am a bisexual disaster and your incredible and fluent dancing has got my face at very high temperatures
You’re adorable! Here’s a hug! 🫂
As a trans guy who does musical theatre, this fills me with so much hope and inspiration and I always come back and watch it
Same! I’m a trans guy who does musical theater and many ppl say I’m not trans bcc it’s “girly” it’s funny I’m like the only straight boy I know who does theater
Sorry if this is a strange question but what’s your favorite role you’ve ever been? Or a dream role?
Cookie Kitty my favourite role was probably Prospero in return to the Forbidden Planet, and my dream role is totally Michael Mell from Be More Chill 😁
Blake Kirby oMG - MICHAEL MELL. Well dude I sure as hell hope that one day you get to play him!!! Fricking love Michael xxx
I feel like he dances with more power and confidence after his transition ...... only me ...................... yeah I thought so also I like him either way he's good looking
🔥🔥flamin hot🔥🔥
Nah. I thought he looked more confident to and 100% more comfortable
She
@@unclepecos845 *He
He 100% is more confident and comfortable with himself now.
Transphobes can fuck off (*cough* not gonna name, names even tho I wanna call some people out for it *cough, cough*) HE will be HIMSELF and nothing YOU say about it can stop him, asshole
for me, this is fascinating for two reasons, 1) seeing you change physically and become more confident in yourself and 2) i'm disabled from the waist down, so watching people dance always has me in awe.
Nice profile pic and you are awesome
😭 finally a knuckles fans dude I get roasted for still loving that meme
Me too! I get this entirely :))

nikitathef0x awwwwhhh
I don't know if you'll read this, but when I saw this video for the first time, like 4 years ago, I got fascinated by Lucifer and the coreo, that's the reason I became a shawol and you're the reason why I dance now. I came back because I'm a few months before starting a dance degree, so thanks ❤️
It's not ok how hot he is with the all black outfits when dancing to growl

jacob pankratz HE looks great
jacob pankratz HE is a boy whether or not you think so. Of course supportive people are great but normally less accepting people are tolerated. In this case I feel it would beneficial for everyone if you merely avoid this content rather than insulting the people who produce it. Attempting to hurt or insult someone is always kind of a crumby thing to do but I don’t hold it against you personally because I was raised to think similarly. When I realised I was non binary I had to seriously reevaluate those ideas and I hope you do to. If not to improve yourself at least to be a kinder individual.
@@jacobpankratz8084 you have the word 'ratz' in you're name. It suits you.
To not only see the improvement in his dancing, but his confidence skyrocket during his transition. It just inspires HOPE!
As someone who swings any and all ways, you were really hot before and after but I can really tell how much you came out of your skin after. Especially in the side by side. Your movements are more practiced but also you seem much more willing to just go for it and commit to the movements.
overall you're a really awesome dancer. You were clearly born to be a dancer no matter what's on the outside.
TempleAmarok you just said exactly what I was thinking. I ride on the Pansexual merry-go-round, I don’t swing at all. 😂
Ren Sharpe saame dude
Ren Sharpe same
You have no right being THAT good at dancing sir-
Your just being salty as usual 😒 (This is just a joke! Do not attack me.. please)
I mean, he’s been doing that his whole life- hard work paid off 😌
It's really interesting to see how much more your moves seem to HIT and POP so sharply after you came out. You seem to have always been a talented dancer but It's like you freed your body to really commit to the moves once you acknowledged who you were internally. It's crazy, and so neat! A+ dude, really enjoyed seeing you come into your own here.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Made me so happy to see
I thought the same thing!! I'm happy you wrote it haha, if I did probably would've not been as amazing as you said it lol
You can see the difference in skills when you're comfortable in your body
The huge improvement in his dancing skills… you can see it after coming out. He just gets better and better. Well done bro ❤️ so proud
This was my first look into the world of transgender and really did a lot for me in realizing that what I was feeling was normal. Thank you for helping me realize that I'm also trans.
Val Violet that’s such a sweet story.
Good job person
I'm so proud of ya! I know it's hard to admit you're trans but you did it!!
:DD
I’m so proud of you 🏳️🌈💓
THE AMOUNT OF KPOP IN THIS IS *CHEF KISS*
The difference in your hips and waist after about a year on T gives me so much hope my dude
does testosterone really change the shape of your body?
As a women he had boobs...did he got surgery or ?
@@gibby9928 Hi! I'm a trans guy currently taking testosterone, so let me answer those questions!
Testosterone affects the say your body distributes fat (Fat will move from the hips/thighs/butt to the belly, typically) and the way you gain muscle.
It doesn't make the breasts dissapear completely, but it can reduce the size of the chest. (Breasts are made of a lot of fat! So it moves around too after t!)
However, in order to completely get rid of breasts, one has to undergo a surgery called mastectomy, more commonly referred to as "top surgery". Depending on the country and specifics, it can take a lot of time to get a mastectomy, so in the meantime transgender guys use what you call a "binder". A binder is like an undershirt, except it's been designed to squish the breasts strongly against the chest, flattening them quite a bit. (Think sports bra but really really efficient.)
Obviously, the smaller the chest, the easier to bind it is.
So here you go! Testosterone doesn't remove the chest per se, but it does help with the body shape changing. Those things can take a lot of time though, and the time needed for the changes to appear is different for everyone. Everyone has different reactions to the testosterone, and everyone needs a different dosage that you determine with your endocrinologist.
For example, what came faster for me was the voice, which started dropping only 10 days after my first injection! However, it takes a lot of time for me to grow facial hair. On the contrary, I have a trans friend who got facial hair around the 3rd month! And his voice dropped much slower than mine.
So it's all different, you can't really predict exactly what T will do first and how much it'll work. But it does give some amazing changes!
as a cis girl i wish you the best, I hope the T will have the effects you wish 💕
@@veromas436 Mind Control is a helleva drug.
Yep
This is an amazing journey..l really appreciate how you went through all of this and managed to keep dancing when dance can be such a physically exposing thing.
You’re awesome.
i love how your hairstyle fits perfectly with shinee of that era sksksk
@@jacobpankratz8084 he* and lucifer its long yet short and all over the place
This was interesting cuz I see people saying "oh he's so much more confident after the transition!" But he looks fantastic before to tbh. His fashion style stayed similar. His dance style evolved obviously but stayed true to a centeral kpop thing. To me this really shows that just because a person transitions doesn't mean they magically become someone else. No matter what gender you are, you will still be you and don't let anyone guilt you into not transitioning.
That's the beauty of getting rid of toxic masculinity that makes people think wearing certain things makes you masculine or feminine automatically. I'm glad we are finally moving past that.
I think they mean that he looks much more confident in his dancing now that he feels like he is in his own body and is out and don’t have anything to hide. He has always been the same person, it’s just the confidence change.
Woah this is such an interesting timeline! Congratulations!
i Totally agree :) (also your my inspiration alex and i love you xD)
