I'm 17, and came out at 12 as FTM trans, and I've never felt happier as who I am. Sure, love is difficult to find, but over the years, my parents have realized that this is who I am and they stand by my side when it comes to my identity. I'm getting my name legally changed by summer's end, and I will be taking T next year. I've never felt happier. If you feel that this is who you are, hold your head up high and be proud to be you. Don't let anyone pull you down.
I am so jealous. Same age, same problem. I hate myself every day for not saying something when I was much younger as all the women in the family are hourglass. I don't want to be like that, but I'm a coward!!!
😂 Well same ._. My mom show me a fricckin pinkie dress and said "this will fit you" I said : ew no Typically me would decline things 🗿 But then my mom get rage
I cannot feel a trans males pain as i was born Male. But something i can say is to any trans mascs out there, there may be bad people that hate trans people but don’t listen to them as you are loved and you are real men ❤️
"i'm trans" "i thought you were a werewolf" is the equivalent of "i'm lesbian" "i thought you were american" and i would pay good money to see it in a movie.
When a good friend of mine came out as trans to me 25 years ago, my first reaction was: " OMG and I thought, you would bring bad news!" She was shocked (positively) about how not surprised I was...
A guy in my class gave a speech on his coming out as transgender. He had a clock he used to hide stuff in the back of like cigarettes and razor blades when he was 13. There was more to the speech but at the end, he through it in the trash and said he didn’t need it anymore because he can finally be his true self. It was one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard and the whole class was crying. Thank you to Isaac for being brave enough to tell it.
@@iamgonnagocryagain1401 Oh sweetheart... Lead your authentic life. I'm 72 and have had enough life lessons to know that wearing a mask and hiding who you truly are is draining. Emotionally, physically and spiritually.. You do you. YOU BE YOU. There is a whole world out there for you to discover. If not now.. When... Grandmotherly love to you... You'll know when it is time.
Being told what your feeling isn't real, that's it's a faze, has kill about over millions of people. Either be sexuality, mentally, or other. We are not confused, broken, we are not to be ignored.
Very realistic and this is coming from a parent if you a shi parent you don’t know your kids if do know your kids you know their friends cause my parents knew all my friends till this very day they still ask about them
The second I saw his mom holding a dress at the beginning, my heart broke Edit: Woah that's a lot of likes :OOOOOO Glad to see that so many people agree!
My heart broke because I knew that following it would be a 'oh no I don't think I am a girl and I don't like wearing dresses because I'm a boy and I am just going to ignore the fact that I have a female body and a female brain and a female EVERYTHING.' But you know, I guess she likes t-shirts and shorts so it's okay for her to think she's the complete opposite gender.
@@mcjesus1582 This comment confuses me. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not??? First of all, their pronouns are he, not she. And he is a male whether or not you think he is. You don't get a say :). Don't watch this if you're just gonna bash on it. We don't have space for haters here
@@cassidyzaremba5034 Okay first of all, there is a lot wrong with that. So, you are forcefully taking away my freedom of speech by telling me I HAVE to call her by what she wants to be called? I can call her whatever the hell I want, because it's a free country and I don't have to abide by something I don't believe in. You can't tell me what to do and expect me to follow that. I'm not being sarcastic; I'm just stating facts. And if you are going to be offended by free speech; go for it. Just don't force me to give it up.
Watching this, I realized how fxcked up everything is actually. Im a trans male and I am out to almost everyone. My friends all support me and call me by my preferred name. My parents keep telling me its a phase. I have literal depression and other mental issues at the age of 13. I cant deal with everything. Its so hard
Your parents are shit if they don’t respect you by saying it’s just a phase, Soldier you’ll get through this. Your friends are good people, stick with them.
I'm sorry, friend. I hope things will get better for you. I'm a trans male also and I've been having a hard time for a while now, but I believe if we push through all the bad we'll eventually end up somewhere where we feel happy and comfortable. I wish you happiness, and I'm rooting for you.
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REACT LIKE TALIA DID. EVERYONE NEEDS A TALIA. BRO WHEN I CAME OUT THE FIRST THING MY MOM SAID WAS: “I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LESBIAN” Now we haven’t been on speaking terms for a month oof. Edit: OMG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKES I FEEL LOVED
Honestly this video is amazing I’m transgender and my best friend in the entire world Abbye is so much like taliya he helped me so much and. I feel like every one needs that
I have a younger sister named Talia and she, even though I keep correcting her, still calls me by my dead name, saying, "Your name isn't Ari, and you're a girl." I have a Talia, just not an accepting one.
To my trans babies out there you need to hear this You are loved You are not a mistake You are perfect You belong You are valued You are exactly who you are meant to be Remember to drink plenty of water and keep your head held high. I know you might be hurting but please practice safe binding. Stay safe and live long prideful lives. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. And no matter where you are remember you have a whole community that has your back.
Be you baby and no one else. It’s hard to be you but hey it’s hard to be me, we’re different yet the same. Be you baby and I’ll be me but on the same side of the divide, just being me and just being you🌹
lmao true. my parents say "husband/boyfriend" and i'm always like "significant other/partner/spouse" BUT MY PARENTS ARE DUMB AND CANT PICK UP ON IT... sorry for yelling, it just annoys me
@@MiG23ML there is a license, i believe. & im sure it’ll say who’s the wife & the other wife or the husband & the other husband. if same sex marriage was approved in june 2015 in america for all 50 states i’m sure there’s a license for it to be a legitimate marriage. i’m not 100% sure tho but i do think that.
Parents don’t really understand how today we they’re kids don’t see yourselves as “girl or boy” but I totally understand how they see us as a younger version of themselves however it wasn’t that way
When the mom started telling them that their problems weren’t real because they were a teenager it was too real. I understand that problems I have now might not matter when I’m an adult. But that doesn’t make them any less prevalent in my life in the present. I don’t think parents understand that. When they say things like that it sends you into a spiral of doubt. You don’t know what’s you’re feeling or if it’s even real anymore. You feel like you don’t matter. They really don’t get how much their words can affect us
As an "actual adult", I can assure you the problems you are facing now matter. They shape who you are! Yeah, when I was 16 (sigh, that was so long ago) I was worried about much different things, but the stress was still there, and very very real. It's not any less important than what you go through as an adult. I always hated when adults would tell me it just gets worse (for me it has actually gotten much, much better) or that my problems were trivial compared to "real life." Like, yes, I am actually in a simulation that you somehow occupy alongside me except your part is real life. That makes complete sense. 🙄
One of the youtube comments of the video he was watching said “You can pretend to be whoever you are, just don’t expect us to pretend with you” That one hit me really really hard
These kinds of comments made me go back in the closet when I was thirteen; I convinced myself that they were right, that I was a girl, and I was so miserable. I hated myself. I came out again to my family (my abusive dad is out of the picture now) a week ago and I feel so much more comfortable and happy with myself already. I hate these kinds of comments, and they hurt, but they're not true. As long as you're happy and yourself - why the hell does it matter to them? They say we're too feely when all of this backlash from them is based on pure feeling. Don't let people like this get to you. Surround yourself with people who respect you. Because the right people will.
@@mollie1732 Hey! I'm actually Non-Binary too and I have quite a gender neutral name 😊 So maybe go with something more gender neutral? Like Alex or Sam or something along those lines maybe? Hope this helps! 😊❤️⚲
@@lilith9725 You're welcome! 🙂 I don't want anyone to get hurt by binding unsafely. I learned my lesson the hard way. I used an ace bandage (for a few months in 6th grade) to bind even though I knew it was dangerous. I thought that if I was careful, I wouldn't get hurt. However, things ended badly. My rib cage (lower left side) got bent inwards, but luckily they didn't break. I stopped binding with an ace bandage after that. I'm now in 12th grade and my lower left rib cage is still bent inwards. In 2 weeks I'm going to order a binder from gc2b, so I can bind safely.
i cant come out to my family so ill do it here: hi. my name is syd and i am a trans guy. if you are reading this, i hope you have a lovely day and remember to take care of yourself kiddo!
You got the roles mixed up, the mom was looking for the word and the dad didn't repeat hipster after smiling and pointing. However, the mom/mum says hipster afterwards so maybe you were referring to that idk I'mma end this comment now
as a transman, it was the hardest for me to come out. my parents still call me by my deadname and use she/her, but im hoping to eventually step up and tell them my name and preferred pronouns. itll be hard, but ill still try. to anyone here thats trans, remember that millions of people support you!! you arent alone /gen
4:50 that scene just hit hard for me. Seeing transphobia and homophobia breaks my heart. And the mom trying comfort Zach but instead making things worse. This was a very small interaction between me and my mom, and it seems like nothing, but it was something to me. One time my mom called me pretty, and I was feeling more masculine. She meant it as a compliment, but it felt like an insult.
oh my god I can feel the dysphoria through the screen. It really sucks being closeted and everyone is just trying to make you feel good but it makes you feel worse. A few days ago I was crying and my mom started telling me about how I'll grow up to be an amazing woman and I'll get to make a family of my own. just made me feel worse.
I've felt exactly like that before. I was trying to discuss the possibility of me being transgender or even non-binary with my parents, but they responded with "But you're Miranda." The thing is...I don't identify with that name.
Although it may not seem like it, staying in the closet is way worse than coming out and being yourself. I came out to my dad and mom when I was 12 or 13, and didn't start my transition till I was 14, living as that gender even though I was out was the worst thing in the world. But now I've been living as who I really am for two years. It's gonna be hard at first but you will get there.
@@conster-8201 I can't really come out though for my own safety. My brother is homo/transphobic and well I can deal with the homophobic remarks he says such terrible things about trans people that I know it's just going to get worse if he knows. I'm trying to work up the courage to tell my parents but I don't think I'm going to fully come out until my brothers view of trans people change or he moves out.
Is it bad I knew it was you just from your voice? I guess you are so fun and cheery and had such a big effect on my life that I can just recognize you like that. Likes for all you do for everyone Ash.
My friend is an ftm trans guy and I'm watching these to try to educate myself more and be a good friend 😊 Edit: He's now my boyfriend and he's the best thing that ever happened to me🖤
@@noquemacuhh1967 Abbreviation of transmasculine. A person who was assigned female at birth, but who identifies with masculinity more than with femininity. This can among others include trans men, non-binary people and genderfluid people. The term is especially used by people who aren't sure yet in which of these categories they fall. The opposite is transfeminine or transfem.
I am sorry that I am 21 years old and people would still be smoking at the stake for being different. Through all this faith, people become more ruthless and non-human than with her: (((
NEVER let your parents religious belief get you down. They're misguided anyways. Most of the Bible Verses Christians like to use against us are actually misinterpreted. By the way I am a Minister for a worldwide Christian Church and I am Trans.
@@cherries5705 And after trans boy came out you still refer to him with female pronouns. Plus no one wants to go through depression. And the life of the child will depend on the life of the child so it is partially the mothers fault. If you want to make a valid argument, you should try watching how you put words. Good day.
It is not a mental illness. It is not a choice. It is not a sin. It is not going to hurt other. It is change. It is growth. It is love for themself. It is comfort.
When the mom said "it's just hormones", I felt that so much. My mother invalidate my identity and other things because "it's just being a teenager and the world can be confusing" "you'll grow out of it" and its hurtful and damaging to my self confidence, because you're telling me that I dont know what I want
@@bigsimp3659 I'm sorry that happened. I came out as trans a lot younger and they didnt believe me. It was heartbreaking to have your parents not believe you.
It also might have just how it felt to him, like even two or three items that were too feminine may just make everything feel like too much. Like my mom bought me a skirt once and every item clothing I put on after that just made me feel too feminine. It just becomes really overwhelming.
The mum had to say “So not pretty” 😬😬. I remember calling my child pretty when they were 7. They said i don’t want to be called pretty was really upset, i don’t want to be pretty. I asked would you like me to say handsome? They said no. So I said how about cool!!! They said Yeah Cool with a huge smile on their face. ❤❤❤ My child is 21 now .
It’s really nice to feel seen, as a transmasc person I felt the pain this guy felt on a *spiritual* level-the super gendered birthday, the “birthday girl” on the cake, the depression-it sucks so much, but to any other of my trans friends out there, you aren’t alone. You will find your people, and just be yourself, whoever that person may be. You are loved, and there is a whole community for you. Don’t give up.
As a trans male who has recently come out, I thought I could handle this without crying...turns out I couldn't. The second the friend said "I'll always be here for you" I started ugly crying out of nowhere
I have always Cried, in pain before, in Joy mostly now, but it's different for a Guy, but it doesn't matter, don't ever measure yourself against anyone else, I did for far too many years, but now I'm Just Julie, take me or leave be my friend or leave me alone, I don't care, because the best thing to be is the best version of you, you can be, don't live a lie, and don't worry if your getting it right, there is no such thing, it's just what's right for you, never forget that Hun, it's the most important thing to remember
You're not the only one to cry I'm in floods of tears here and I'm also ftm transgender and just come out. It just hits somewhere deep inside that been running away from for years.
i love how this was done because the parents are really trying. what the mum said "these problems, they're not real" this is her way of telling her child that what they are facing will pass with time. She's trying to be supportive but she's unsure of what to say or do. She's actively trying to not be overbearing while still letting her child know that she cares for them. However, to a trans person, this sounds completely different and i just loved the way they handled this
“It’s just teenage horomones” “We all go thro a phase” “They’re not real problems” “At that age everything seems big” I’ve heard this from parents, teacher, school counselors. And it hurts knowing that no matter how hard u try or what u achieve, the ppl who say they love today will turn their backs on u tomorrow because of who u like, what u are or are not... Life’s unfair
Jftwm I have a friend who’s mom sends him to a councilor because she’s trying to “fix him” but his therapist is good, and calls him bye male pronouns and what he wants to be called, and I would say my friend is one of the lucky ones.
As a trans closet male who's female name is Zoe, this is so fucking relatable to me. I'm really scared of coming out of the closet because my mom is transphobic, at least my dad isn't and supports but my mom is the true problem, she is really abusive towards me and I don't really want to fight with her anymore. This short film really touched me in all the ways possible. Thanks a lot this felt nice to see also kinda painful but really amazing work. ♥🏳⚧
I can't believe nobody's replied to this. Hang in there, you sound like such a great guy and you deserve better than how you're being treated at the moment. Sending love and plenty of rainbows 🌈
Hey, 5 months later, how are you doing? As another closeted masc, it would interfere me a lot with what kind of place you are right now. Hope you are doing well.
I’m almost 70 and this spoke directly to me. I’m trans too, but didn’t come out until age 66 - retirement age here in the states. I am MTF. I went through all of the things that Zoe went through when I was a teenager (if in the opposite direction) including the suicide attempt. The difference for me was that my father was dangerously violent. I kept my trans-ness deeply locked inside me, to the point that I often doubted myself. It led to a depression that didn’t begin to lift until I came out. It affected my studies and my work life, turning me into a hermit. Like Zoe, I had one good friend to whom I told as much as I told myself. We remain married, despite my changes. Congratulations on a wonderful film.
I am 60 and came out to my wife of 40 years about 6 weeks ago. I have been hiding this thing since I was 5. I have been a hermit all my life don't know how to even be around people I am so screwed up on so many fronts I can't even tell you but this film hit home I am still cringing as I write this and don't know why? If I can give some advice to someone watching this film and in the closet, COME OUT ASAP don't wait till you are 60 I have wasted my whole life because I am a coward. Things are way better now than back in the old days there are really good people out there that will support you not all people are closed-minded bigots.
I am 54 and MTF. I lost my wife of 19 years in 2020, and, had she lived, I would probably never have come out. I know in my heart she would not have understood. I deeply miss my wife, and wish she hadn't passed, but at least now I can be free to pursue feelings I have had since being a child. I know there are many haters out there, but they will never understand the deep anguish of looking at your body and seeing only something wrong. Congrats Georgette, and though we are strangers, I am right there with you in spirit as we begin our journey towards being who we were meant to be.
@@01harvey you are not a coward. You just didn’t have the support everyone person needs and deserve. To be accepted no matter who they are. I accept you. And I’m so happy you’ve been able to start showing the world. It’s never too late and you’re proving that for all of us. Thank you.
I had a rush of tears to my eyes at the moment Zach told his best friend he's trans. I am a trans woman but still found so much of this relatable. This is one of the best trans related films I have ever seen.
factss she was like “it’ll all be gone tomorrow ur problems are fake “ me: *tries to hold back from angry crying and punching a pillow bc i’m around my fam rn and i can’t out myself*
I really get what both sides are going through. The mom however, wasn't right bc she didn't even ask about what the problem might be or anything she just said that some vague thing she understood was a phase.
I like how he’s been telling his parents that the clothes they get him to “not be too pretty” bc y’know for some reason girls clothes are always called pretty and you can’t say to a guy “your clothes are pretty”
kai the gay yeah cuz alot of heteronormity is disgouraged in the lgbtq community, so we are more accepting when it comes to bending and breaking norms. :)
A beautiful film that needs to be seen. As an educator and an ally, I plan to use this to educate my students on how to support families of trans youth. Thank you.
@@Cal_.403 Good enough. You're gullible and you've given into the liberal world because you don't know any better. I can't know if anyone has ever told you, but your generation is the weakest one ever to exist. You cowards will be the end of us all.
I tried asking my dad about how I felt like I wasn't feeling the gender binary, and he told me that my feelings may not be valid- and whilst its true- it still hurt alot. So least to say, I wanted to punch her so bad when she said that to Zach.
She essentially tried to say that the perspective and relevance of problems is changing and that the problems of today might not be the problems of tomorrow. Out of most problems you grow and be more confident with yourself in the future. They really tried their best to be good parents but their kid doesn't even communicate with them about its issues. Instead, let's commit suicide. That will teach them.
My boyfriend is trans and this helped me to understand a bit but it hurts so bad bc I can see how much he's hurting and there's nothing I can do except tell him I love him.
omg i feel u. my gf is trans and i keep coming across things like trans suicide statistics and it makes me so sad knowing how much she has to go through
I wish i had someone that supported me like that XD i mean, my family loves me, my mom help me come out to her whole family, and they accepted me, they ask all the time what my name was and if they’re pronouncing is good, i love them, but i kinda... idk, i lowkey think I won’t be able to find a partner before the transition...
This is the beat comment I've ever seen. As a non binary person myself, all you can do is just be there to comfort him when he's having a break down. The world needs more people like you
@@happyfries5184 thanks I literally was crying writing it😂, I'm bi so I kinda get how hard coming out it but it's nothing compared to him who has two transphobic parents like
My boyfriend is also trans, and unlike some of you knowing what it’s like to come out, I have no idea because I’m straight and even if I was some sort of LGBT my family and the people I’m around right now are completely accepting (I mean they’re accepting of me having a trans boyfriend too I guess). But just like the others, I haven’t been able to experience anything close to what he has to go to and all I can do is just squeeze his hand and tell him that I’ll be right beside him through any storm. But wow, what I thought I knew about transgenderism.... this has given me so much perspective even after getting together with my boyfriend. This is the true art of storytelling- being able to reach out to people in ways that others never could. I was cringing the whole time hearing the dialogue spoken to Zach, and I can’t even imagine truly how it is for anyone who is trans.
ok i'm literally crying rn, i'm so sorry for all of you who's going through this right now, you don't deserve to have to hide yourself, you're valid, you're important and you deserve to be loved, if someone doesn't accept you - they don't deserve your love, big hugs for all of you guys
nemebitch sis thank you..!! my dads really transphobic and im really scared of losing all my friends and being called a transtrender lol- but i really needed this today. we love the 1 am crisis with dave! but thank you so much anyways and im sorry for ranting
I’m bisexual with a transgender friend and I’ve never realised what it must have felt like for him. Everyone around him giving him presents that are ‘for girls’ when he knew he didn’t feel like he was a girl. To any transgender people or anyone who feels like this, I’m so sorry that this is what’s happening for you. If you ever have the feeling that being a part of the LGBTQ+ community is a bad thing, never think that way. Ignore all the homophobic comments you see and hear. You aren’t alone
Something like this has opened my perspective , I would always say that “you’re born the gender you are and you can’t change that regardless”. I never stopped to think about how transitioning people may feel , and I feel terrible for being like that. Since watching this , it’s taught me to be respectful and more considerate of others feelings , even when I’m not aware of their struggles and battles.
This comment gave me hope, you know? That people will be able to change their views about the trans community and that they'll start to respect us and try to put themselves in our shoes, to finally understand that we are humans like everyone else. I'm really happy that this short film made you realise that
I used to be anti-LGBT because of my parents and their arrogant and stubborn views. I’ve come to realize, who cares? How does someone being gay or trans or anything else affect you? Probably not at all or very little. It really shouldn’t be a big deal if someone likes someone of the same gender, or if they feel happy as the opposite gender.
This helped me so much, when I saw this for the first time I was going through a lot of strange feelings and emotions, and I had no idea who I was or who I wanted to be. Now, I’m out, proud, and ready for the next chapter in my life. To my fellow trans kids who don’t think they can make it: trust me, you can. I never thought I would see my 18th birthday, it just never felt like a possibility. But I did. I’m 18, I’m in the middle of my senior year of high school, I got into the college I wanted, I’m in the military, and my dreams are becoming reality. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve just got to get there. And I’ll be cheering you on here on the Internet.
I'm sorry to hear that:( I believe there are some organizations (not sure if that's the correct term) that give out free bindere. I'll try to look into it more and get back to you
Me, a trans guy who hasn’t even close to started social transition: *glances at binder in my amazon wish list* “s o o n.” Update: I ordered a binder from gc2b c: good luck everyone!! Update 2: my mom took it and is making me go to therapy before I make any “drastic decisions” :D I still have hope though, keep pushing guys!!
Beautiful short! Amazing! At the hospital Zack says, "Mom, I'm-" "There's your dad." I was screaming, "TRANSGENDER! SAY IT!" He's just like me. It's less scary to be silent but it hurts a whole lot more.
I held it in until I went nearly mad. I managed to pull my mom, grandparents, and two supportive close friends into a therapy session to come out to them as transgender. It went well, probably better than it would have if the counselors werent there.
My story: I used to be, a few years ago, unfamiliar with transgender issues. I've still got alot to learn but I want to be a good transgender ally, and watching films like this really educate me! Also, I came out as pansexual two years ago! So it helps me learn a bit more about myself too! Great work!
“17 birthday girl” That hit me Also when I heard Ash’s voice my eyes widened as I realized one of my favorite UA-camr was making an appearance in this amazing film.
I love how at the party, everything seemed to remind him that everyone thought of him as some "girly girl" ,with the stereotypical pink color being associated with women, practically everywhere. It's just a small, really cool detail I wanted to point out.
bro im commenting on this vid as im watching and wtaf was that moms advice sounds like she knew exactly what was happening to her child and she was invalidating her feelings i think that’s rly shitty and it makes me wanna punch shit- like wtf how was that her place MAKWJBDJAJAJRBAHDBR

I'm 17, and came out at 12 as FTM trans, and I've never felt happier as who I am. Sure, love is difficult to find, but over the years, my parents have realized that this is who I am and they stand by my side when it comes to my identity. I'm getting my name legally changed by summer's end, and I will be taking T next year. I've never felt happier. If you feel that this is who you are, hold your head up high and be proud to be you. Don't let anyone pull you down.
Congrats. ❤
I am so jealous. Same age, same problem. I hate myself every day for not saying something when I was much younger as all the women in the family are hourglass. I don't want to be like that, but I'm a coward!!!

But then my mom get rage
I cannot feel a trans males pain as i was born Male. But something i can say is to any trans mascs out there, there may be bad people that hate trans people but don’t listen to them as you are loved and you are real men ❤️
And exact same thing to trans fems too. You are real Woman.

"i'm trans"
"i thought you were a werewolf"
is the equivalent of
"i'm lesbian"
"i thought you were american"
and i would pay good money to see it in a movie.
Oh my goodness, I needed to read this comment. It's beautiful! Lol
When a good friend of mine came out as trans to me 25 years ago, my first reaction was: " OMG and I thought, you would bring bad news!" She was shocked (positively) about how not surprised I was...
Same
That took me a few minutes of laughing remembering the vine that I had to pause the video
Why is this comment just so perfect? 😁
A guy in my class gave a speech on his coming out as transgender. He had a clock he used to hide stuff in the back of like cigarettes and razor blades when he was 13. There was more to the speech but at the end, he through it in the trash and said he didn’t need it anymore because he can finally be his true self. It was one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard and the whole class was crying. Thank you to Isaac for being brave enough to tell it.
I still need it tho...Hope I can do this soon too....
I wish I was brave enough to do that

Very realistic and this is coming from a parent if you a shi parent you don’t know your kids if do know your kids you know their friends cause my parents knew all my friends till this very day they still ask about them

My heart broke because I knew that following it would be a 'oh no I don't think I am a girl and I don't like wearing dresses because I'm a boy and I am just going to ignore the fact that I have a female body and a female brain and a female EVERYTHING.' But you know, I guess she likes t-shirts and shorts so it's okay for her to think she's the complete opposite gender.
@@mcjesus1582 This comment confuses me. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not??? First of all, their pronouns are he, not she. And he is a male whether or not you think he is. You don't get a say :). Don't watch this if you're just gonna bash on it. We don't have space for haters here
@@cassidyzaremba5034 Okay first of all, there is a lot wrong with that. So, you are forcefully taking away my freedom of speech by telling me I HAVE to call her by what she wants to be called? I can call her whatever the hell I want, because it's a free country and I don't have to abide by something I don't believe in. You can't tell me what to do and expect me to follow that. I'm not being sarcastic; I'm just stating facts. And if you are going to be offended by free speech; go for it. Just don't force me to give it up.
Watching this, I realized how fxcked up everything is actually.
Im a trans male and I am out to almost everyone.
My friends all support me and call me by my preferred name. My parents keep telling me its a phase.
I have literal depression and other mental issues at the age of 13. I cant deal with everything. Its so hard
Your parents are shit if they don’t respect you by saying it’s just a phase, Soldier you’ll get through this. Your friends are good people, stick with them.
I'm sorry, friend. I hope things will get better for you. I'm a trans male also and I've been having a hard time for a while now, but I believe if we push through all the bad we'll eventually end up somewhere where we feel happy and comfortable. I wish you happiness, and I'm rooting for you.
Hope u ok
Hey, stay strong
Trust me its gonna be alright and know that you are loved and cherished just the way you are!

Thank you so much! It’s sometimes hard but I always have accepting friends on my side.
I hope your family accepts you for who you are
Completely. It's hard you know, this is a good film
You’re doing great sweetie. We can do this (I’m non-binary)
When the mom started telling them that their problems weren’t real because they were a teenager it was too real.
I understand that problems I have now might not matter when I’m an adult. But that doesn’t make them any less prevalent in my life in the present. I don’t think parents understand that. When they say things like that it sends you into a spiral of doubt. You don’t know what’s you’re feeling or if it’s even real anymore. You feel like you don’t matter. They really don’t get how much their words can affect us
HA 100th like was meeee
yeah that's how it is always going to be. and i did that too to my lil sister as i realized what i just did but i apologized and we talked about it.
As an "actual adult", I can assure you the problems you are facing now matter. They shape who you are! Yeah, when I was 16 (sigh, that was so long ago) I was worried about much different things, but the stress was still there, and very very real. It's not any less important than what you go through as an adult. I always hated when adults would tell me it just gets worse (for me it has actually gotten much, much better) or that my problems were trivial compared to "real life." Like, yes, I am actually in a simulation that you somehow occupy alongside me except your part is real life. That makes complete sense. 🙄
As a trans male, this is the most relatable video i've ever seen.

“You can pretend to be whoever you are, just don’t expect us to pretend with you”
That one hit me really really hard
Than one hurt me a lot too
That really hit hard
Yeah my dad has said that to my face, I wish it was a stranger but something tells me it would still hurt a lot
The people who said that are mean:(
These kinds of comments made me go back in the closet when I was thirteen; I convinced myself that they were right, that I was a girl, and I was so miserable. I hated myself. I came out again to my family (my abusive dad is out of the picture now) a week ago and I feel so much more comfortable and happy with myself already. I hate these kinds of comments, and they hurt, but they're not true. As long as you're happy and yourself - why the hell does it matter to them? They say we're too feely when all of this backlash from them is based on pure feeling. Don't let people like this get to you. Surround yourself with people who respect you. Because the right people will.

@@blaketheythem Oh thank you so much for being concerned, yes.
@@lilith9725 You're welcome! 🙂 I don't want anyone to get hurt by binding unsafely. I learned my lesson the hard way. I used an ace bandage (for a few months in 6th grade) to bind even though I knew it was dangerous. I thought that if I was careful, I wouldn't get hurt. However, things ended badly. My rib cage (lower left side) got bent inwards, but luckily they didn't break. I stopped binding with an ace bandage after that. I'm now in 12th grade and my lower left rib cage is still bent inwards. In 2 weeks I'm going to order a binder from gc2b, so I can bind safely.

4:50 that scene just hit hard for me. Seeing transphobia and homophobia breaks my heart. And the mom trying comfort Zach but instead making things worse.

oh my god I can feel the dysphoria through the screen. It really sucks being closeted and everyone is just trying to make you feel good but it makes you feel worse. A few days ago I was crying and my mom started telling me about how I'll grow up to be an amazing woman and I'll get to make a family of my own. just made me feel worse.
I've felt exactly like that before. I was trying to discuss the possibility of me being transgender or even non-binary with my parents, but they responded with "But you're Miranda." The thing is...I don't identify with that name.
@skyhigh315 good luck! Also, if it helps, try to find a friend who will stand by you while you're talking to your mom. I wish you all the best!
@skyhigh315 I feel you. I need to come out but I'm to scared of the uncertainty.
Although it may not seem like it, staying in the closet is way worse than coming out and being yourself. I came out to my dad and mom when I was 12 or 13, and didn't start my transition till I was 14, living as that gender even though I was out was the worst thing in the world. But now I've been living as who I really am for two years. It's gonna be hard at first but you will get there.
@@conster-8201 I can't really come out though for my own safety.

It’s really nice to feel seen, as a transmasc person I felt the pain this guy felt on a *spiritual* level-the super gendered birthday, the “birthday girl” on the cake, the depression-it sucks so much, but to any other of my trans friends out there, you aren’t alone. You will find your people, and just be yourself, whoever that person may be. You are loved, and there is a whole community for you. Don’t give up.
The part that hit me the most was in the very beginning, when he stared at himself in the mirror. I hate mirrors... Always reminding me :/
As a trans male who has recently come out, I thought I could handle this without crying...turns out I couldn't. The second the friend said "I'll always be here for you" I started ugly crying out of nowhere
It's okay. Just remember that you are valid. 💜💜💜

its okay dude! i hope you know ur valid. keep your head up king
You're not the only one to cry I'm in floods of tears here and I'm also ftm transgender and just come out. It just hits somewhere deep inside that been running away from for years.
Pardon my ignorance, but does trans male mean you've gone from 'female to male' or 'male to female'?
i love how this was done because the parents are really trying. what the mum said "these problems, they're not real" this is her way of telling her child that what they are facing will pass with time. She's trying to be supportive but she's unsure of what to say or do. She's actively trying to not be overbearing while still letting her child know that she cares for them.
However, to a trans person, this sounds completely different and i just loved the way they handled this
As soon as the mom came on screen, I seriously related to Zach. My mom is _exactly_ like her.
Weirdo Brotato saame dude
Telling a child their problems are not real is not being supportive, I disagree.

I'm really scared of coming out of the closet because my mom is transphobic, at least my dad isn't and supports but my mom is the true problem, she is really abusive towards me and I don't really want to fight with her anymore.

I can't believe nobody's replied to this. Hang in there, you sound like such a great guy and you deserve better than how you're being treated at the moment. Sending love and plenty of rainbows 🌈
Hey, 5 months later, how are you doing? As another closeted masc, it would interfere me a lot with what kind of place you are right now. Hope you are doing well.
His mom's logic: iF yOuR dEpPrEsSeD jUsT bE hApPy
Me: hmmmmmm I've never thought of that

Depression rate drops to 0%.
Wow, if I could do that, all my problems would be gone

:(
I MADE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT THAT SMILE AT THE END GOT ME OMGGGGGG
I helped make this film and that bit still gets me every time too
@@samjelley6020 Y'all it's my face and it gets me too
That smile made me tear up a little..
"Just....try to stress less, kay?"
I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY MOM
Ikr, my friends keep telling me to “think harder and you’ll realize you’re crashing on someone” but I’m a freaking aromantic
Like you your son just attempted and just got out of hospital and you’re saying TO STRESS LESS BRUH
Same here tho
My mom told me that but with anxiety :/ I literally can't stop being anxious mom
@@FulllNameUnknown my mom in a nutshell .__.
Like if I could pay attention i would, but it just hurts to a physical level for no frogging reason
"i thought you were a werewolf" thats the best coming out reaction ever more people need to react like that honestly
I’m almost 70 and this spoke directly to me. I’m trans too, but didn’t come out until age 66 - retirement age here in the states. I am MTF. I went through all of the things that Zoe went through when I was a teenager (if in the opposite direction) including the suicide attempt. The difference for me was that my father was dangerously violent. I kept my trans-ness deeply locked inside me, to the point that I often doubted myself. It led to a depression that didn’t begin to lift until I came out. It affected my studies and my work life, turning me into a hermit. Like Zoe, I had one good friend to whom I told as much as I told myself. We remain married, despite my changes. Congratulations on a wonderful film.
I am 60 and came out to my wife of 40 years about 6 weeks ago. I have been hiding this thing since I was 5. I have been a hermit all my life don't know how to even be around people I am so screwed up on so many fronts I can't even tell you but this film hit home I am still cringing as I write this and don't know why? If I can give some advice to someone watching this film and in the closet, COME OUT ASAP don't wait till you are 60 I have wasted my whole life because I am a coward. Things are way better now than back in the old days there are really good people out there that will support you not all people are closed-minded bigots.
Aw well done for being you 💗
His name is Zach, but it’s awesome to hear that you’re finally out and happy 🏳️⚧️
I am 54 and MTF. I lost my wife of 19 years in 2020, and, had she lived, I would probably never have come out. I know in my heart she would not have understood. I deeply miss my wife, and wish she hadn't passed, but at least now I can be free to pursue feelings I have had since being a child. I know there are many haters out there, but they will never understand the deep anguish of looking at your body and seeing only something wrong. Congrats Georgette, and though we are strangers, I am right there with you in spirit as we begin our journey towards being who we were meant to be.
@@01harvey you are not a coward. You just didn’t have the support everyone person needs and deserve. To be accepted no matter who they are. I accept you. And I’m so happy you’ve been able to start showing the world. It’s never too late and you’re proving that for all of us. Thank you.
I felt that
“Happy brith day girl”
I’m not a girl.
I’m non-binary.
Samish Sam good good
I may or may not have winced
Same
Relatable
GODs yes this
“Birthday girl”
That hurts
Ikr!!
And then you see every thing in the party pink including the cookies
I felt a bit uncomfortable to be honest
Yeah I kept getting Miss gendered on my birthday a month ago 🖐😃
I feel they’re pain in a physical level
Fr tho my anxiety went 📈📈📈📈
I had a rush of tears to my eyes at the moment Zach told his best friend he's trans. I am a trans woman but still found so much of this relatable. This is one of the best trans related films I have ever seen.
As soon as the mom walks into the room
Me: I swear if you say phase
Her: ..................phase
Me: *deep breath*
!!!!! SCREEEEEECH !!!!!
Same 😒
factss she was like “it’ll all be gone tomorrow ur problems are fake “
me: *tries to hold back from angry crying and punching a pillow bc i’m around my fam rn and i can’t out myself*
i’m being told it’s a phase and that part broke me down
I really get what both sides are going through. The mom however, wasn't right bc she didn't even ask about what the problem might be or anything she just said that some vague thing she understood was a phase.
My mom: phase
Me: ok how long has it been a phase? Oh yeah my whole life :/
My mom: NOOOOOO-
I like how he’s been telling his parents that the clothes they get him to “not be too pretty” bc y’know for some reason girls clothes are always called pretty and you can’t say to a guy “your clothes are pretty”
my boyfriend calls me pretty a lot :)
(i'm a guy, for clarification)
kai the gay yeah cuz alot of heteronormity is disgouraged in the lgbtq community, so we are more accepting when it comes to bending and breaking norms. :)
i love how the moms name was Karen
edit: thanks for the likes lads.
Ironically she didn't act much like a Karen
You've found our hidden troll 🙄🙃 well played!
KAREN.
RIGHT
Lmao
A beautiful film that needs to be seen. As an educator and an ally, I plan to use this to educate my students on how to support families of trans youth. Thank you.
I’m not trans but I even got anxiety just watching everybody calling him the wrong pronouns and crap
How old are you?
Cult Leader Greg why do you need to know?
@@Cal_.403 I need to know if you're a gullible teen or twenty-something or a delusional adult.
I'd rather you be young.
Cult Leader Greg I’m a young teen that’s all I’m saying
@@Cal_.403 Good enough. You're gullible and you've given into the liberal world because you don't know any better.
I can't know if anyone has ever told you, but your generation is the weakest one ever to exist. You cowards will be the end of us all.
The mom just straight up said to him that his problems and feelings aren't real and that hits so close to home for me lmao
I tried asking my dad about how I felt like I wasn't feeling the gender binary, and he told me that my feelings may not be valid- and whilst its true- it still hurt alot. So least to say, I wanted to punch her so bad when she said that to Zach.
oh hi kronos
Fr
:(
She essentially tried to say that the perspective and relevance of problems is changing and that the problems of today might not be the problems of tomorrow. Out of most problems you grow and be more confident with yourself in the future. They really tried their best to be good parents but their kid doesn't even communicate with them about its issues. Instead, let's commit suicide. That will teach them.
My boyfriend is trans and this helped me to understand a bit but it hurts so bad bc I can see how much he's hurting and there's nothing I can do except tell him I love him.
omg i feel u. my gf is trans and i keep coming across things like trans suicide statistics and it makes me so sad knowing how much she has to go through
I wish i had someone that supported me like that XD i mean, my family loves me, my mom help me come out to her whole family, and they accepted me, they ask all the time what my name was and if they’re pronouncing is good, i love them, but i kinda... idk, i lowkey think I won’t be able to find a partner before the transition...
This is the beat comment I've ever seen. As a non binary person myself, all you can do is just be there to comfort him when he's having a break down. The world needs more people like you
@@happyfries5184 thanks I literally was crying writing it😂, I'm bi so I kinda get how hard coming out it but it's nothing compared to him who has two transphobic parents like
My boyfriend is also trans, and unlike some of you knowing what it’s like to come out, I have no idea because I’m straight and even if I was some sort of LGBT my family and the people I’m around right now are completely accepting (I mean they’re accepting of me having a trans boyfriend too I guess). But just like the others, I haven’t been able to experience anything close to what he has to go to and all I can do is just squeeze his hand and tell him that I’ll be right beside him through any storm.
But wow, what I thought I knew about transgenderism.... this has given me so much perspective even after getting together with my boyfriend. This is the true art of storytelling- being able to reach out to people in ways that others never could. I was cringing the whole time hearing the dialogue spoken to Zach, and I can’t even imagine truly how it is for anyone who is trans.
As a 32 year old, mtf, yet to physically transition even though I've known my entire life, it made me cry
I didn't know until I was 32 😅. I'm transitioning now, it rocks girl!
ok i'm literally crying rn, i'm so sorry for all of you who's going through this right now, you don't deserve to have to hide yourself, you're valid, you're important and you deserve to be loved, if someone doesn't accept you - they don't deserve your love, big hugs for all of you guys
Thanks. Nice profile pic
Thanks so much. I needed to hear this. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
that means so much to me, thanks
nemebitch sis thank you..!! my dads really transphobic and im really scared of losing all my friends and being called a transtrender lol- but i really needed this today. we love the 1 am crisis with dave! but thank you so much anyways and im sorry for ranting
Thanks but im not that valid
I love Zach’s best friend
“I thought you were a werewolf...”
“Zach. I was thinking Zach.”
I’m not crying you are
NO, I'M NOT CRYING
I AM NOT CRYING
DID YOU LISTEN TO ME?
I AM NOT CRYING
Just joking, that's so emotional...😭😭
Like for real when they said his name is zoey I literally said : yep...it’s a zack ;-;
you’re right. i am
That's also my name I chose ;^;
"It will look so *not* pretty on you, just the way you like it" is one of the most relatable sentences ever :l
all the twenty one pilots stuff in his room was 10/10, just like this short film
Yes
GOOD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED HHHHH
Yeah, my fren!

It's also an extra layer tho- he was already suicidal. Pretty much all of us are, or have have been.
@@nos5915 Or we could just like their music
@@werefallingapart3760 I mean yeah, but few hardcore fans are. It's hard to relate unless you can, you know, relate.
I’m bisexual with a transgender friend and I’ve never realised what it must have felt like for him. Everyone around him giving him presents that are ‘for girls’ when he knew he didn’t feel like he was a girl. To any transgender people or anyone who feels like this, I’m so sorry that this is what’s happening for you. If you ever have the feeling that being a part of the LGBTQ+ community is a bad thing, never think that way. Ignore all the homophobic comments you see and hear. You aren’t alone
Thank you!💕
and transphobic
Feelings aren't facts bud👍
As a trans person thank you so much for appreciating our struggles ❤️😂
I wish I could ignore them, but they all come from my bro!
Something like this has opened my perspective , I would always say that “you’re born the gender you are and you can’t change that regardless”. I never stopped to think about how transitioning people may feel , and I feel terrible for being like that. Since watching this , it’s taught me to be respectful and more considerate of others feelings , even when I’m not aware of their struggles and battles.
We're so happy to hear this! Good on you for doing so!
This comment gave me hope, you know? That people will be able to change their views about the trans community and that they'll start to respect us and try to put themselves in our shoes, to finally understand that we are humans like everyone else. I'm really happy that this short film made you realise that
Thank you for understanding how us trans people feel.
I used to be anti-LGBT because of my parents and their arrogant and stubborn views. I’ve come to realize, who cares? How does someone being gay or trans or anything else affect you? Probably not at all or very little. It really shouldn’t be a big deal if someone likes someone of the same gender, or if they feel happy as the opposite gender.
This comment is really beautiful! I just wanted to point out that gender and sex are not the same thing
This helped me so much, when I saw this for the first time I was going through a lot of strange feelings and emotions, and I had no idea who I was or who I wanted to be. Now, I’m out, proud, and ready for the next chapter in my life. To my fellow trans kids who don’t think they can make it: trust me, you can. I never thought I would see my 18th birthday, it just never felt like a possibility. But I did. I’m 18, I’m in the middle of my senior year of high school, I got into the college I wanted, I’m in the military, and my dreams are becoming reality. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve just got to get there. And I’ll be cheering you on here on the Internet.
Me: *trans*
The binder in my wishlist: “I’ll come one day”
My mom: “n o”
🥺 i wish u r okay ❤ luv u
I'm sorry to hear that:(
I believe there are some organizations (not sure if that's the correct term) that give out free bindere. I'll try to look into it more and get back to you
Email me at ghostdude80@gmail.com
I have been sending trans people binders. I will be sure to send you one too if you'd like.
That’s me
I heard that binders r dangerous tho? :(
Me, a trans guy who hasn’t even close to started social transition: *glances at binder in my amazon wish list* “s o o n.”
Update: I ordered a binder from gc2b c: good luck everyone!!
Update 2: my mom took it and is making me go to therapy before I make any “drastic decisions” :D I still have hope though, keep pushing guys!!
As a non-binary person who hasn't even started to transition because of family: *Looks at gc2b binder and hoodie* "soon"
Sooner!!!
@@noxiean same here. Same here...
Soon, very soon....
Shark Dog Boi it’s kinda sad that we relate but I wish you and everyone in the replies good luck
@@noxiean ye you too. Im not very scared to come out its just telling my parents i want a chest binder.
Beautiful short! Amazing!
At the hospital Zack says, "Mom, I'm-"
"There's your dad."
I was screaming, "TRANSGENDER! SAY IT!"
He's just like me. It's less scary to be silent but it hurts a whole lot more.
Robert Platt I did that too... You're right. It does hurt a whole lot more.
I held it in until I went nearly mad. I managed to pull my mom, grandparents, and two supportive close friends into a therapy session to come out to them as transgender. It went well, probably better than it would have if the counselors werent there.
My story: I used to be, a few years ago, unfamiliar with transgender issues. I've still got alot to learn but I want to be a good transgender ally, and watching films like this really educate me! Also, I came out as pansexual two years ago! So it helps me learn a bit more about myself too! Great work!
“17 birthday girl”
That hit me
Also when I heard Ash’s voice my eyes widened as I realized one of my favorite UA-camr was making an appearance in this amazing film.
What is the UA-cam channel?
Ash Hardell (the youtuber he was watching) 4:50
Ash Hardell is the best
ME TOO I WAS LIKE OMG ITS ASH!!
imma get hate for this ,probably. but, whos ash?
I love how at the party, everything seemed to remind him that everyone thought of him as some "girly girl" ,with the stereotypical pink color being associated with women, practically everywhere. It's just a small, really cool detail I wanted to point out.
Thank you for noticing! It was an intentional choice and we were arguing over what wrapping paper to use ahaha
@@palioks3280 Sure was! I was co-director of photography among other things!
the fact that their child is *17* and they still get paper and gifts and things for like 7 year old girls is kinda nasty to me
👀yeah... 'unraps present'
Especially that "Girls only" book🤢🤢🤢 I understand for a 7 year old but not for a 17 year old
Like the book "Girls only" what the fVck is that? A book for a 8 years old girl?
bro im commenting on this vid as im watching and wtaf was that moms advice sounds like she knew exactly what was happening to her child and she was invalidating her feelings i think that’s rly shitty and it makes me wanna punch shit- like wtf how was that her place MAKWJBDJAJAJRBAHDBR
Your pfp I cannnttt lmao
