    Check out my new short film The Bliss of Becoming! It follows similar subject matter, a trans guy grappling with the childhood he missed out on. and you might recognize some familiar faces ;) ua-cam.com/video/HNC4VijUOfE/v-deo.html

    For anyone closeted Trans boy:
    If you celebrate Halloween (some people don’t) then you can ask your parents for a binder for your costume and just wear it when they’re not looking. I’m not trans but I am genderfluid so I’ll try to do this during Halloween season.
    Merry whatever time of year you want.

    i remember about 3 to 4 years ago i was really scared about letting people know that i was trans and i felt like i would be judged by everyone and i was right my family didnt support me it really broke me, they tried to fix me and make me "normal" and took me to church everyday and its been 1 year since i came out and im still being bullied at school for it.i didnt fit in with the guys because they knew me since i was a girl and they never saw me as a real boy and the girls they would do stuff that i wasnt really interested in so i felt the "being trans is a lonely time" because i would (still do) hang out by myself the whole school day the only times i would be hanging with someone would either be the counselors of my schools or my past/current teachers. my family dont talk to me and if they do its too find out if im "normal"again. school was a really hard time for me especially because the guys would say stuff to me like they were gonna fight me and just made fun of me and the girls did the same i cried so much at school i would go into the bathroom stall and stay there till my break was over and just drowned in sadness i wish someone was there for me but it made me stronger, now i dont get as mad because even tho they dont see me as a boy other people do and support me now.

    i sympathize with the human condition and the sadness of feeling odd and out of place but taking a shot every single day for the rest of your life doing surgeries to an obsessive level and demanding that the word sees how you feel is not the answer who cares of you like what you like skirts as a man or shaving your hair as a girl these personalities and fashion choices don't make you male or female your biology does i know it may seem unfair i for example would rather have a non human experience but within the reality we live in it's impossible
    take the white pill accept yourself within nature as part of nature with it's sweetness and bitterness you will feel far much fulfilment when you look back and say "waw i did it" peer pressure can be strong but you're stronger stay healthy and love and accept yourself you're not born in a wrong body there's nothing wrong about you ❤️
