I appreciate the fact that I get to see a trans guy who didn't get top surgery. It's awesome to see a new perspective. The advice at the end is perfect.
@@illumizoldyck4176 Same, I dead ass got frustrated my binder barely flattens my chest. I dunno how other guys and enbies do it. But, hey once we get it--- things will keep being okay.
I like what you said about being a bro who explores his feminine layers because I think every man has some more feminine-coded things they like and every woman has some masculine-coded things they like. Doesn’t make you any less of a man or woman respectively.
@@luclin92 Exactly. The most stupid stereotype is that women were made to cook, while most cooks out there are men. Just do what you like and ignore societies stupid standards.
That's one of the best things about growing into adulthood I've found. I've seen so many of my friends get more feminine in different kinds of ways as we mature and become less self conscious about oursellves. Also that straight guys can become very gay under certain combinations of drugs and alcohol.
Yeah, I'm a cis-male and I kinda had a similar experience when growing up. I do think it has to do with patriarchy, that teaches boys to be "manly/tough/whatever". At some point (and I think a lot of my cis male friends) figured out, that there's really no reason to act tough or in any way different from just being yourself.
Yup. Personally I hate seeing people's nipples if I'm not being intimate with them, regardless of their sex/ gender. It just makes me uncomfortable. I'm weird. I wish people would just keep their shirts/tops/bras whatever on around me.
Ty: the physical transition is why you're here Me: no. I'm 1.5 year on T, struggling still with dysphoria, depressions, anxiety. Seeing you now, 6 years on T, having followed about 3 years of them when I discovered you, seeing you feeling good is great. It gives me hope. The last video, seeing you in your day job, having a "normal" life i dream for myself, that's why i'm here Thank you
My therapist had been telling me to document my transition and I did video updates up until the third month and stopped bc my dysphoria was so bad. But after watching this, and now that I'm 14 months on T, I think I'll give it another shot. For my future self. Thanks Ty
Please talk to Jesus daily and ask Him to guide you because you will always be what God made you. I love you and want you to repent and change your ways to get away from satan. Love you and God Bless
I'm not trans. Not a LGBTQ " person ". I'm a 49 year old, white Canadian woman. So there is the societal box I live in. But I want you to know. I'm so happy and proud of you. I believe whole heartedly in embracing your authentic self. Wtg!
It has a nice ring to it. But also, what I noticed that about a lot of trans youtubers (both ftm and mtf) is that they usually have a really good control over their speaking voice. I'm cis so I can't know for sure, but I think it's a habit from the early stages of their transition when the voice was often ine of the biggest problems - that one thing that could "blow the cover" if you know what I mean. So they learn not only to speak in higher or lower pitch respectively, but they also control the tone of their voice and even what kind of language they use, and then just continue doing it.
i remember when you were one year on t. crazy to see how far you've come. super proud of you dude. proud of how much more comfortable you are with yourself
I can't tell you how awesome and refreshing you are. I'm an enby, and old enough to be your grandparent. There are so many toxic trans creators on UA-cam, and it's awesome that there are also people like you and Jammiedodger. Keep being awesome.
Im 3 years on T and have recently come out as a nonbinary trans man instead of a binary trans guy. It is lovely to hear that you are at ease with yourself and your gender espession 💕 I went from traditionally mask to kinda androgynous simply because testo has made me more comfortable. You are an Inspiration. ☺️
I'm pretty similar to you, also 3 yrs on T, also androgynous presentation with a more masculine presentation beforehand but I mostly just consider myself male gender-wise. Especially with the whole mask thing its like 50/50 on whether I'll be gendered male or female. It's funny when people "ma'am" me and then hear my voice and apologize lol
Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between a trans man and an non binary trans man? I thought they were two different things. Maybe gender expression is in the middle?
Oh hey! Kinda same. My gender has stayed consistent since I discovered nonbinary was even a thing in hs, but I was way more masc pre-t. now that I've been on it a year and a half I feel like I can actually do things like...grow my hair out and wear more feminine things.
Congratulations on your journey. You’re a great example of healthy masculinity. A lot of cis men, including myself, can learn from you. You’re inspirational. Thanks for your content
As a cis person, i found your channel 7 years ago bc i met a new friend in college who was trans. I came from a small town in SC and had no idea what trans really meant. I’m glad i found you before anyone because it was the first of many i came across. I’ve enjoyed your videos so far! Thanks for offering your perspective and sharing your story. It’s helped me and start education on a lot of trans topics! 💜💜
I’m a cis woman but I still watch sooooooo many trans people because it’s just so heartwarming to see people becoming their truest form of themselves🥺. I also just like to hear other people’s experiences in life and try to draw correlations between our experiences and figure out how to make it easier for others around me and honestly I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and already learnt a bunch of new things too
That point about documentation really hit home for me. I'm only a year and roughly three months on testosterone currently but I feel that hard. While I've religiously taken video of my voice and measured my body on paper (i.e. waist size, shoulder width, height, biceps, etc.)- I never took pictures of my body because I was too uncomfortable to even think about doing that when I began my transition (and realistically I still feel like that now). However, I regret not taking pictures now even though I know that basically nothing has changed because my measurements on paper have literally stayed the exact same (with the exception of changes that are below half an inch). That being said, just as Ty put out there, take pictures! Take videos! Document everything you can and want to because nothing blows my mind and makes my day quite like listening back to audio of my own voice and seeing how much it has changed when I feel like nothing’s happened. It's good for the soul.
I love the mullet. Im a cis man, I dont work out and my hair goes past my waist and I still feel like a man. Nothing wrong with expressing more traditionaly feminine traits.
The part about your 'bro' phase really resonated with me. I'm currently in the same phase where fitness and trying to be really masc has taken over. I honestly don't know why I'm putting myself through so much trouble, like, I *know* I'm a guy so why am I trying to prove it? It's great seeing someone like me who's come out the other side of that. I'm glad you can be yourself, because you are the most important person in your life. I can only hope to be that comfortable some day - much love to you dude.
Yes we men go through phases! At the moment, Im going through a soft boi phase Yes I wear a lot of girly clothes but surprisingly not going with stereotypes heals my soul and dysphoria I wish the best memories for you!
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THAT TERRIFYING THING HANGING ON THE DOOR. Like congrats on your transition, Ty. I've followed you and it for a long time, but like HOLY SHIT THAT THING IS GONNA GET ME IN MY SLEEP.
29 seconds ago, no views. I didn't even know this was possible. Also, congrats on your transition! I'm glad you're keeping your health in check and sticking to your goals. Stay safe!
you know what i can relate entirely, the quarantine is really what got me to rexamine myself as a male aside from interaction with other people, just how i viewed ME. 5 years ago when i started t, up until about a year ago it was entirely about how others viewed me. its a great thing to be free from. very happy for you my boy. qwq
The difference for me is that now it became the majority opinion/mood. Suddenly everyone seems to have become much saner. Weird. However, unfortunately that is already fading. People are taking the pandemic less serious these days and kinda "got bored with it" and slowly but surely they seem to become more unsane again.
I've been saying "what's up guys?" And "hey, guys" forever and I keep noticing how weird it feels more and more. I've been trying to figure out what to put in its place, and 'folks' seems like a pretty great choice. I have to turn that into habit 😁
@@els1f I honestly don't think it's that big of a deal. Every girl I know has no problem saying "hey guys" even to to an all female group. I've never met anyone who has a problem with that phrase.
CJ Sangster regardless of whether your personal friends anecdotally have an issue with it, the fact that we use a word synonymous with “men” to address a mixed gender group but wouldn’t call that same group “ladies” or “girls” or any word synonymous with women is rooted in misogyny. That’s obviously not to say that everyone who uses the phrase has that intention, but our society still uses masculinity as the default, and this is one example of it.
@@kadenmcguire701 There are certainly important issues that effect women that need to be dealt with, but "hey guys" isn't one of them. My point is that it most normal people can happily walk through life without nitpicking the littlest of things. People like you who make a mountain out of a molehill are few and far between.
OMG I used to watch you at the start of your transition. Fast forward two children later and no time for UA-cam... I found you again today. Your changes are like day and night! You are finally who you were supposed to be. Proud of your progress and happiness 😄
This is bittersweet and as someone who found you maybe 4 years ago (ya know during the bro phase) it's been very cool to get back into watching your videos more consistently and see you become more in touch with yourself/self expression. And I'm so happy that you are. Man, I came here for the bro but I stayed because you're a homie and I'm super appreciative you are doing what you are doing for the community and just overall life (you really are awesome man)
as someone who has been watching since the one year update, it's amazing to see your growth and how you've become more comfortable in your skin and in your presentation. i'll miss the yearly "tiger, tiger", but i'm so happy that you've met this milestone. :)
I just want to say, I admire how genuine you are. A lot of people put on a facade but you are Ty. No one else. How Skylar is for you is how you are to me. Thanks for being you. Love Herc
I'm trans and I just started T two weeks ago. Noticing a lot of changes already, mostly mental but some definitely physical and I just feel like a weight has been lifted. Watching this video to see some more of what I have to look forward to.
Also holy shit, My comment got hearted by Ty Turner... This is the first time any comment I've made on any UA-camr's video has ever been hearted... Do I feel like crying? I'm asking because I have no clue- Holy shit- I feel like I was just noticed by my transition goals and this is like some sort of good luck that's gonna make me grow up with my ideal body and shit-
Your transformation is awesome! I love the voice transformation, WOW! The human body is so much more malleable then some people think, this is amazing.
Hello Ty, thank you for sharing your journey with us! You look great ✨ I used to identify as FtM but now I'm detransitioning, I was on T for 3 years and had top surgery 10 months ago. This apocalyptic year has got me all kinds of fucked up lol. I'm now 4 months off T and finally learning to love my body. I now identify as a woman, but I will always feel like I belong in the trans community. For a decade (aka half my life) I lived as a trans boy, and for 3 years I lived as a man. I love all my trans siblings across the globe and still continue to watch my fave ftm youtubers. I used to watch your videos religiously and I even slayed my wallet for a prosthetic once after you recommended it in a video (Model D sport STP lmaooo) , back when I was a scrawny, pre-T 17 year old 😂 I've been a subscriber of yours for years and it makes me really happy seeing you grow into a confident, handsome, absolute *unit* of a man 💪🏻 bless -your #1 simp
It's interesting to see someone get so excited about what is basically a second puberty. I am a cis guy and I really dont remember actually changing during the process of puberty... at the time everything seemed the same as it had always been. I just sort of realized it had happened after it was already over with. But in retrospect I put my parents through hell Haha.
Started watching you about 1 year in on T! You were the only trans guy that I could actually connect with and feel good about being trans. Congrats, and thanks for everything :)
You’ll get there man! I’d suggest saving up money for T and top surgery (if you want it) as soon as you can so you don’t have to wait as long. I had to push top surgery back another year to save up more money for it
I came out as trans early to mid 2015.... I just started estrogen yesterday I’m also 22. I have a long way to go. And I’m so mad at myself for not starting sooner. But at the very least I’m happy I started. Already started feeling more like myself
This October 1st will be my 2 year on T and I remember finding your channel on here years ago when I was researching on this stuff and you helped me out a lot. I love you and I'm so happy to see how happy you are. I have a long way to go with myself and my transition and I thank you for being there and being one of the reasons I never feel alone. ❤
I'm a little over a month on T, it took me longer than I wanted to get here, but I found your videos when I was freshly graduated from high school and barely out to my closest friends. You have been one of the most inspirational and motivational youtubers, thank you for sharing your process with the world
At the start of my transition almost 4 years ago, who would have thought that good ol’ Ty would have been my biggest role model??? I always had a general respect for the guy, but now I really feel like we’re good friends despite not knowing each other. Love having you around man!
Omg the last ever Tyger poem! 🥺The end of an era! Congratulations on six years man - Ive been watching you for a few years (why does that sound creepy af) anyways I am so so happy and proud of you my dude you seem to be so much happier and comfortable with yourself now ❤️ (ps the shrek layers thing made me lose my shit)
It's funny watching all these videos to see where people are with their transition you get so caught up in the physical, but I'm nearing 2 years on T and I'm honestly just relieved to hear you say that you've changed internally. Seeing how comfortable you are with who you are is reassuring just as much if not more so as seeing the physical stuff. Thank you for sharing Ty. You've helped a lot of people find their way and I'm glad you've found yours.
I just areguler guy ,that go in these chanel by accident ,and all my opinions about trans pepole changed alot ,i kind of admire you man ,you are great👍
When I saw one year Ty I smiled big. I didn’t realize how comforting your channel has been over the years from my pre-t life to my adventures in the first four years of my transition. I’m proud of you from one trans brother to another you make us proud
whew... ive been subscribed to this channel for years and... i always get so happy whenever you make vids like, directly about the process and stuff, like, showing how its been for you. i know i personally will never be able to transition, even if ive longed for it since like.... i dont know, ten years ago, its just not possible for me due to many reasons, mainly because of where i live, my super controlling and conservative (see, lgbtphobic in general) and how they have always controled each detail of my life, even as far as "jokingly" planning who i will marry and when i will have children, yknow , the usual. so, for someone who will never have the chance to live this process, i am eternally grateful for these years of watching you climb your way up, reach your transition goals and just... inspiring me, and many others. when i watch one of these kinds of vids from you, i cant help but feel hopeful that, maybe, just maybe someday i'd be able to see these same changes on myself and finally feel happier with how i look. thank you for being such a wonderful creator, ty, lots of love
I don't usually comment on things, but I've been following back before you started T, when I was figuring myself out too. Your videos have really helped me out a lot through the years, whether it was advice videos or looking at memes. It's been seriously awesome seeing the changes you've gotten from T but especially awesome seeing your personal growth. Thanks for being such an open, honest, authentic guy!
hey ty! i discovered your channel back in like 2014-15 when i was questioning my own gender identity. throughout the past years you really helped me. i have a top surgery consult in late november and have been on T for almost 1.5 years. thank you for everything you do :)
You were my biggest role model back in high school when I was first questioning my gender identity. I missed you when you stopped posting and was so glad when you came back! You've helped me get through a lot of tough moments in my life
This is my fifth year out as a trans man, I'm finally turning 18 next year and will be able to take it, I'm so psyched, I'm also graduating too. Your videos have always helped me through my dysphoria, thanks Ty and I wish you could be at my graduation 💞
I’ve seen some of your newer videos, but this one just popped up so I decided to watch it. Don’t know why, but this one gave me tears. I just love that you are able to live your authentic self! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your journey, and supporting the young people who are currently finding their way in the craziness of today’s world. Your example shows them that it is possible to live a life that doesn’t fit in with some people’s ideas of how they should live, and it is possible to thrive while living authentically. We all need to remember those things. Thank you!
I can't even begin to say how happy it makes me to see you at such a healthy place. I feel I owe so much of who I am becoming to you. It was your 2yrs on T video that actually sparked my gender identity journey over 4yrs ago.. maybe 5 by now. At that time I was at such a low & lost place. No matter what I did it felt like a stranger looking at me in the mirror. Looking back I was so uncomfortable in my own skin..and I can see how destructive I was being to my body as well. Then as if like fate your video appeared on my recommendation & things started to click from there. So thank you for sharing your transition..idk if I'd be me today if you hadn't.
Oh wow, insane to realise it's already been close to 7 years. I think I've been following you since around the time of your coming out as trans video, when I was still very much in the closet and unsure about what I wanted. Now I'm over 4 years on T myself, and had top surgery over 3 years ago! These kinds of videos always put that into perspective for me, as now I usually tend to forget about my transition when I'm just living my life. Anyway, just wanted to say that your videos and the many encouraging messages you put out there have really stuck with me over the years. I'm loving the happiness and chillness that radiates from you, and I am really glad you're at such a good place in your transition and that you're so comfortable with yourself. Also wanted to add that I love your style and the mullet is nothing short of glorious! Keep doing you, and thanks for the many years of lovely videos and words of support for the trans community x
I remember when you started T and I was like "meh, that would never happen to me" still, I was so happy for you, and know here I am 2.5 years on T . Time flies for sure. Plus: You can't imagine how happy I'm for you, you have achieved sooo many things ❤
Thank you for you updates so far on transitioning. Been following you since your pre-T till now and I’ve also gotten the courage to transition myself. I am now 5yrs on T. One year behind you. Took me 1yr watching your videos to summon the courage 💪🏼 THANKS!
I can't believe it's been 6 years! I've been here since your coming out video, and it's been such a blessing to see you come into yourself especially in the most recent years. Thanks for everything, Sam, 7.5 months on T PS the voice drop is starting holy shit
So happy that you can be yourself and are in a good place ☺️ I'm super happy for your, I know this journey has been long and sharing it with the world is BRAVE as fuck.
As a long-haired guy myself, who's dating 2 other long-haired guys, I have to say I approve of your mane. Found you via a recommendation from James Somerton's latest vid. I'm a week late, but congrats on a successful, complete transition! (I know you probably get 'dude ur so hawt' comments all the time, but only because they're true. You have a lucky girlfriend). 2020's almost over, dude. Stay strong, we'll all get through this together.
I’ve watched you since you started your journey, my current partner at the time was also transitioning and you helped me through that process more than I could ever describe. Its been a couple years now since I’ve seen you & I can’t believe the difference since the very first “Tiger tiger..” I’m so glad to see you’re still doing great. I’m so happy for you Ty!
I love this. It was super dysphoric but I did a “before” shoot before I got top surgery a few months ago and next week I’m going my “after” since I’m going to be 4 months post-op soon. And I’m super happy I did it.
i rarely comment, but i kinda feel like i owe you this? three years back watching your videos honestly got me through that coming out/waiting for anything to happen phase. i'm now 1.5 years on t and top surgery is four months away. you're probably aware of your impact on many 'trans babies', but you fr just helped so much; so thank you.
i love singing and i've recently been recording myself singing bc i'm hoping to go on T one day and it would be really cool to compare the difference in my voice :)
since day one of following you, i knew you’d be one of the most lovely people to see grow overtime. i’ve followed since i saw your “dan & phil” video about 7 years back & i thought you were so cute, funny, and kindhearted. little did i know i’d still be pumped as hell (& also emotional) every time you upload, even almost a decade later! you’re so great and i’m proud to see how true to yourself you’ve become. i know the views/comments of others can really put your mind in a dark place. because i too let those things really get me down a few years ago, and it’s only been as of recently that i’ve allowed myself to just say, “fuck that” to trying to conform to what everyone around me wanted. i’m finally 100% allowing myself to dress & be who i feel inside has always been there and i’m thankful to have positive people in my life currently that love me for me & i hope you have just the same!! - love to you, always, han.💛
You were the first trans man I ever saw actually, and you inspired me to come out and transition cause I saw the changes I wanted and you made it seem like it was possible. I remember watching your first year on testosterone video and I instantly subscribed after that, I was able to get through the rough patches of not being on T and being dysphoric as all hell cause of you. I’m now a year and seven months on testosterone and I still watch your older videos to compare myself. You are kind of my hero man and I am glad I found you when I did :)
My brother and my cousin are both trans men, I just discovered your channel and I look forward to learning from your experiences. There are many that should educate themselves (we both know, for most of "those" types they will never learn and have no real desire to) but for those of us who are advocates and are completely supportive, it's awesome that we have places to come and obtain a real perspective on what your journey has been like, what you've dealt with, how you've handled those experiences, etc. I appreciate how candid you are. You are very handsome by the way, those bashing your current "style" choices just needs to see beyond it. You are hot in every one of your yearly check in videos, and yes... The mullet is def controversial, but I dig it on you with the muscle tee. It's giving me 80s vibes, like fast times at Ridgemont High, Breakfast Club, like that vibe...
This seriously was posted at the right time. I just came out as trans and I'm having a hard time getting my family to accept it. It's so awesome to see how far you've come!
Man i started watching your videos like 7/8 years ago. The growth you’ve had it terms of how different you express masculinity over the years is really inspiring. Trans men can be weird online with gatekeeping how to express masculinity (though its gotten better). Idk its nice to see someone with a decent sized platform not be gross about gender rolls
Dude you started T right when I figured out I was trans, I found out hormones are a thing when I stumbled upon your one day on testosterone video lol. I used to watch your one year on T video ON REPEAT and I was so fucking jealous because I thought I'd never be able to do that. Took me 3 years to start testosterone because I had to fight my way through and convince countless doctors which had no prior trans patients that it's a real thing. Now I'm finally 11 months on T and it's so amazing seeing you complete your journey. I hope I'll look as good as you do in 5 years lmao. Thank you so much for documenting your transition, I know it sounds dumb but you saved my life with those videos. Thank you man.
i haven't been subscribed for much longer than 2 years, but you've been a part of my youtube experience here and there for quite a while now. seeing this last update video after having seen the others is really something else. your growth as a human being is obvious in so many ways, and it brings me a ton of joy to have been able to witness you settle into yourself. your transition videos have been a companion to my own transition, and seeing this last one gives me an odd sort of "i'm leaving home and going off to college" feeling, if that makes any sense. as always, i hope you continue to do well and progress. (: thanks ty.
This was literally me with my first injection of T Me: HAIR! Testosterone: Excuse me? Me: GIVE ME ALL THE HAIR, I WISH TO BE A BEAR!!!! I can't tell you how much excitement I felt when I started seeing hair where it was blonde before, embrace the bear. I didn't really document my experience when I started since most of the dysphoria was based around how I looked(well I guess it was similar for most people but the way I looked just felt like I was looking at a stranger in the mirror, you know?), I'm still a bit uncomfortable with taking pictures of myself or anything like that but with some therapy, it's been getting better in those regards. Still have a lot of discomfort taking pictures or recording myself though.
Hey Ty, I’m so, so happy for you! Congratulations on finishing your journey. Congratulations on making it to the other side. We’re all so proud of you and cannot thank you enough! I’ve been here since 1.5, which is insane to think about because your content is what helped me push the final switch within myself to finally, truly, accept who I am. Here I am now, 5 years later, nearly 2 years on T, and many months post top surgery. It’s insane and it started here, and I cannot thank you enough for putting your story out in the world. I know you know all of this, but it deserves to be said again. I’m so glad that your content is the content that introduced me to my people. It could have been anyone’s, and it would have happened at some point regardless, but I am so so happy it was yours. -Emmett
I’ll be honest I don’t watch your content as much anymore but I seen your transition videos back in the day. It’s just really amazing to be able to see you today as your best authentic self. I’m very happy for you!!!❤️
You were and still are such a handsome guy! And I'm so happy you are happy with your transition! I wish you all the best, you are so wholesome and kind.
Nice vid ! And glad to see some happiness and positive nowadays (and glad u talk slowly so I understand xd). I've never took T and I don't think I will one day because many questions, many problems, but yeah u are right when you say no need to pressure etc, just chilling out and letting things happen. I wish I can become like you one day, but I have no hopes for myself idk
@@AniceCrocodile Hi I'm also trans and from France, just hang in there and be you authentically - you will know if T is for you or not, it's true that you shouldn't rush these decisions. Get to know yourself everyday
@@solarprogeny6736 oh salut xD et honnêtement jsp si je peux faire ça, ma psy m'a dit que j'ai du mal à m'assumer auprès des autres par rapport à ma transidentité, je me censure tout le temps, j'ai peur du regard des autres. J'ai peur de porter les vêtements que j'aime (genre chemises dont une rose qui est ma pref) et j'ai peur qu'on voit que je suis ftm ça me dérange mais en même temps quand je vois d'autres trans j'ai l'impression que je suis pas légitime d'appartenir à la communauté

@@AniceCrocodile Je comprends totalement, c'est sûr qu'il vaut mieux pour ta sécurité ne pas trop montrer ton identité si tu vis avec une personne qui pourrait abuser de toi verbalement ou autre pour ça - pour le reste, c'est une question d'apprendre à te connaitre toi même, tu n'es pas obligé d'appartenir à des étiquettes très particulières du genre ftm; mais sache que peu importe ton identité, tant qu'elle est différente de ton genre assigné à la naissance, tu es queer/trans et tu fais partie de la communauté. tout le monde a une expérience différente et des besoins différents par rapport à son identité et son expression de genre. tu ne te reconnais peut-être pas dans ce qui est le plus communément représenté, c'est tout. Mon conseil, c'est de continuer ton travail sur toi même et de faire des expériences (moi par exemple, demander à mes amis alliés de m'appeller par un nouveau nom, ça m'a aidé à me rendre compte que ça me convenait énormément de changer de nom/d'identité)
Dude... I haven't been here since the beginning but I definitely remember coming across your one year on t video very early on. It's amazing to see the direction your channel has taken and the person you've become. watching your videos when I was younger definitely gave me some insight on this community, and a bit about myself. I'm sad to see these timeline videos coming to a halt, but I'm also glad for you and how far you've come since the beginning. keep on going man, you're amazing.
"I used to be worried about back hair... And now I'm living in the apocalypse so its like... who gives a shit?"
Yeah, that definitely sums up the experience 😄

I NEED this on a shirt!
It's like, pick your battles lol. Fight a literal pandemic or your insecurities haha
We're all on the same boat man.
I appreciate the fact that I get to see a trans guy who didn't get top surgery. It's awesome to see a new perspective. The advice at the end is perfect.
Yes! Nice to be reminded that you don't HAVE TO. Just do what suits you best 🤗

I like what you said about being a bro who explores his feminine layers because I think every man has some more feminine-coded things they like and every woman has some masculine-coded things they like. Doesn’t make you any less of a man or woman respectively.
Jupp its just some fun side with any personality. Then again what is really feminine and masculine interests other than cultural stuff?
@@luclin92 Exactly. The most stupid stereotype is that women were made to cook, while most cooks out there are men. Just do what you like and ignore societies stupid standards.
Love this!
That's one of the best things about growing into adulthood I've found. I've seen so many of my friends get more feminine in different kinds of ways as we mature and become less self conscious about oursellves. Also that straight guys can become very gay under certain combinations of drugs and alcohol.
Yeah, I'm a cis-male and I kinda had a similar experience when growing up. I do think it has to do with patriarchy, that teaches boys to be "manly/tough/whatever". At some point (and I think a lot of my cis male friends) figured out, that there's really no reason to act tough or in any way different from just being yourself.
Lol there's nothing "girly" about your hair!! That 80s mullet is one of the most masculine hairstyles ever! you look like you belong in a metal band!
Like a young, sexy Quai Gon Jin

I fucking love how mullets are coming back, if done properly it can look reallt cool
Huge difference. Wild how hormones drastically alters the body, the whole face and body, totally a physically different person. You look handsome too.
It’s interesting how the world views female nipples vs. male nipples. You have the same nipples, but since you are male, society views it as normal.
Yup. Personally I hate seeing people's nipples if I'm not being intimate with them, regardless of their sex/ gender. It just makes me uncomfortable. I'm weird. I wish people would just keep their shirts/tops/bras whatever on around me.
Uh...No. Those aren't male breasts.

what do you gain out of this?
That’s not a blessing. That’s injected hormones.
Ty: the physical transition is why you're here
Me: no. I'm 1.5 year on T, struggling still with dysphoria, depressions, anxiety. Seeing you now, 6 years on T, having followed about 3 years of them when I discovered you, seeing you feeling good is great. It gives me hope. The last video, seeing you in your day job, having a "normal" life i dream for myself, that's why i'm here
Thank you
How are you doing? :)
My therapist had been telling me to document my transition and I did video updates up until the third month and stopped bc my dysphoria was so bad. But after watching this, and now that I'm 14 months on T, I think I'll give it another shot. For my future self. Thanks Ty
You got this
I hope you're doing ok dude. You can do this!
You got this!
You got this friend! Reach out to a friend if that would help you get through the uncomfortable process.
Please talk to Jesus daily and ask Him to guide you because you will always be what God made you. I love you and want you to repent and change your ways to get away from satan. Love you and God Bless
I'm not trans. Not a LGBTQ " person ". I'm a 49 year old, white Canadian woman. So there is the societal box I live in. But I want you to know. I'm so happy and proud of you. I believe whole heartedly in embracing your authentic self. Wtg!
Now why don't we believe you
The "societal box" is made up by your own mind. Get over it and work on your mental illness instead of blaming everyone else for your problems.
why is the word person in between quotes???
I love the mullet and the clothing styles you’ve chosen to wear over the years.. glad you’re not listening to the haters and just being yourself ❤️
Yey for the mullet fandom!
mullets are terrible, but somehow, he looks hot wearing one. hmhm, funny how that works.
@@AliceHasenkohl it's almost like different people look good in different styles or something
Is it just me, or is his voice like SO calming?
It has a nice ring to it. But also, what I noticed that about a lot of trans youtubers (both ftm and mtf) is that they usually have a really good control over their speaking voice. I'm cis so I can't know for sure, but I think it's a habit from the early stages of their transition when the voice was often ine of the biggest problems - that one thing that could "blow the cover" if you know what I mean. So they learn not only to speak in higher or lower pitch respectively, but they also control the tone of their voice and even what kind of language they use, and then just continue doing it.
Very. I could listen to him quoting more poetry, I love his voice.
So true - suffering from heartbreak and watching these videos just gives me comfort :)
i remember when you were one year on t. crazy to see how far you've come. super proud of you dude. proud of how much more comfortable you are with yourself
ps love the mullet
I can't tell you how awesome and refreshing you are. I'm an enby, and old enough to be your grandparent. There are so many toxic trans creators on UA-cam, and it's awesome that there are also people like you and Jammiedodger.
Keep being awesome.
69 likes. Nice.
Im 3 years on T and have recently come out as a nonbinary trans man instead of a binary trans guy. It is lovely to hear that you are at ease with yourself and your gender espession 💕
I went from traditionally mask to kinda androgynous simply because testo has made me more comfortable.
You are an Inspiration. ☺️
I'm pretty similar to you, also 3 yrs on T, also androgynous presentation with a more masculine presentation beforehand but I mostly just consider myself male gender-wise. Especially with the whole mask thing its like 50/50 on whether I'll be gendered male or female. It's funny when people "ma'am" me and then hear my voice and apologize lol
Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between a trans man and an non binary trans man? I thought they were two different things. Maybe gender expression is in the middle?
Oh hey! Kinda same. My gender has stayed consistent since I discovered nonbinary was even a thing in hs, but I was way more masc pre-t. now that I've been on it a year and a half I feel like I can actually do things like...grow my hair out and wear more feminine things.
@@riparianreids4497 But isn't that gender expression?
@Jett Jo johnson are?? you?? dumb???
Congratulations on your journey. You’re a great example of healthy masculinity. A lot of cis men, including myself, can learn from you. You’re inspirational. Thanks for your content
As a cis person, i found your channel 7 years ago bc i met a new friend in college who was trans. I came from a small town in SC and had no idea what trans really meant. I’m glad i found you before anyone because it was the first of many i came across. I’ve enjoyed your videos so far! Thanks for offering your perspective and sharing your story. It’s helped me and start education on a lot of trans topics! 💜💜
I’m a cis woman but I still watch sooooooo many trans people because it’s just so heartwarming to see people becoming their truest form of themselves🥺. I also just like to hear other people’s experiences in life and try to draw correlations between our experiences and figure out how to make it easier for others around me and honestly I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and already learnt a bunch of new things too
Same. I find it fascinating.
That point about documentation really hit home for me.
I'm only a year and roughly three months on testosterone currently but I feel that hard. While I've religiously taken video of my voice and measured my body on paper (i.e. waist size, shoulder width, height, biceps, etc.)- I never took pictures of my body because I was too uncomfortable to even think about doing that when I began my transition (and realistically I still feel like that now). However, I regret not taking pictures now even though I know that basically nothing has changed because my measurements on paper have literally stayed the exact same (with the exception of changes that are below half an inch).
That being said, just as Ty put out there, take pictures! Take videos! Document everything you can and want to because nothing blows my mind and makes my day quite like listening back to audio of my own voice and seeing how much it has changed when I feel like nothing’s happened. It's good for the soul.
Thats awesome! Change is still change! More power to you!
I love the mullet. Im a cis man, I dont work out and my hair goes past my waist and I still feel like a man. Nothing wrong with expressing more traditionaly feminine traits.
The part about your 'bro' phase really resonated with me. I'm currently in the same phase where fitness and trying to be really masc has taken over. I honestly don't know why I'm putting myself through so much trouble, like, I *know* I'm a guy so why am I trying to prove it? It's great seeing someone like me who's come out the other side of that. I'm glad you can be yourself, because you are the most important person in your life. I can only hope to be that comfortable some day - much love to you dude.
maybe that just makes you more male. apparently, (cis)males sometimes go through such phases as well.
@@silkwesir1444 I'll take the validation any day my friend :)
Yes we men go through phases!
At the moment, Im going through a soft boi phase
Yes I wear a lot of girly clothes but surprisingly not going with stereotypes heals my soul and dysphoria
I wish the best memories for you!
I'm not trans but my friends son is and I've used your channel as a way to educate myself, and I've learned so much.
That's amazing 💕
OhPants! I'm not trans either, but one of my kids is. Yes, these videos are a great way to learn.
As a trans person can I just say thanks for learning from actual trans people !
This is so wonderful to here! Thank you for making the effort to learn and grow
That’s amazing! I’m glad you’re taking time to learn about it.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THAT TERRIFYING THING HANGING ON THE DOOR. Like congrats on your transition, Ty. I've followed you and it for a long time, but like HOLY SHIT THAT THING IS GONNA GET ME IN MY SLEEP.
Oh damn thanks for drawing my attention to that
I mean.. It's just a pumpkin with legs! Come on now.
29 seconds ago, no views. I didn't even know this was possible.
Also, congrats on your transition! I'm glad you're keeping your health in check and sticking to your goals. Stay safe!
I really thought I would NEVER find a mullet sexy, but, here we are
you know what i can relate entirely, the quarantine is really what got me to rexamine myself as a male aside from interaction with other people, just how i viewed ME. 5 years ago when i started t, up until about a year ago it was entirely about how others viewed me. its a great thing to be free from. very happy for you my boy. qwq
I think quarantine has made a lot of us do some real introspection. It's good for the soul. A silver lining.
ok lol
@@twotwoseven indeed it is ok
Same! I came out to myself during quarantine bc I spent all this time alone removed from having to preform to others.
"I used to care about 'x' but now I'm living in the apocalypse" is the motto of 2020
The difference for me is that now it became the majority opinion/mood. Suddenly everyone seems to have become much saner. Weird.
However, unfortunately that is already fading. People are taking the pandemic less serious these days and kinda "got bored with it" and slowly but surely they seem to become more unsane again.
Silkwesir Not in America. No one has been saner in 2020, they've gotten crazier, more hateful, and more chaotic.
"hey what's up folks" got me tearing up, I feel so included ;w;
I've been saying "what's up guys?" And "hey, guys" forever and I keep noticing how weird it feels more and more. I've been trying to figure out what to put in its place, and 'folks' seems like a pretty great choice. I have to turn that into habit 😁
@@els1f I honestly don't think it's that big of a deal. Every girl I know has no problem saying "hey guys" even to to an all female group. I've never met anyone who has a problem with that phrase.
CJ Sangster regardless of whether your personal friends anecdotally have an issue with it, the fact that we use a word synonymous with “men” to address a mixed gender group but wouldn’t call that same group “ladies” or “girls” or any word synonymous with women is rooted in misogyny. That’s obviously not to say that everyone who uses the phrase has that intention, but our society still uses masculinity as the default, and this is one example of it.
@@kadenmcguire701 There are certainly important issues that effect women that need to be dealt with, but "hey guys" isn't one of them. My point is that it most normal people can happily walk through life without nitpicking the littlest of things. People like you who make a mountain out of a molehill are few and far between.
Elsif there's always y'all lol
OMG I used to watch you at the start of your transition. Fast forward two children later and no time for UA-cam... I found you again today. Your changes are like day and night! You are finally who you were supposed to be. Proud of your progress and happiness 😄
This is bittersweet and as someone who found you maybe 4 years ago (ya know during the bro phase) it's been very cool to get back into watching your videos more consistently and see you become more in touch with yourself/self expression. And I'm so happy that you are. Man, I came here for the bro but I stayed because you're a homie and I'm super appreciative you are doing what you are doing for the community and just overall life (you really are awesome man)
as someone who has been watching since the one year update, it's amazing to see your growth and how you've become more comfortable in your skin and in your presentation. i'll miss the yearly "tiger, tiger", but i'm so happy that you've met this milestone. :)
I just want to say, I admire how genuine you are. A lot of people put on a facade but you are Ty. No one else.
How Skylar is for you is how you are to me.
Thanks for being you.
Love Herc
i started t over 7 years ago now and you were one of the main people who helped me decide so thank you
I'm trans and I just started T two weeks ago. Noticing a lot of changes already, mostly mental but some definitely physical and I just feel like a weight has been lifted. Watching this video to see some more of what I have to look forward to.
So happy for you my dude!

Also holy shit, My comment got hearted by Ty Turner... This is the first time any comment I've made on any UA-camr's video has ever been hearted... Do I feel like crying?

Ty was literally the first trans youtuber I ever saw.

Oh man I’m so happy for you! I remember watching you like 3 years ago! And ahhh I lav it!
Your transformation is awesome! I love the voice transformation, WOW! The human body is so much more malleable then some people think, this is amazing.
Hello Ty, thank you for sharing your journey with us! You look great ✨
I used to identify as FtM but now I'm detransitioning, I was on T for 3 years and had top surgery 10 months ago. This apocalyptic year has got me all kinds of fucked up lol. I'm now 4 months off T and finally learning to love my body. I now identify as a woman, but I will always feel like I belong in the trans community. For a decade (aka half my life) I lived as a trans boy, and for 3 years I lived as a man. I love all my trans siblings across the globe and still continue to watch my fave ftm youtubers.
I used to watch your videos religiously and I even slayed my wallet for a prosthetic once after you recommended it in a video (Model D sport STP lmaooo) , back when I was a scrawny, pre-T 17 year old 😂 I've been a subscriber of yours for years and it makes me really happy seeing you grow into a confident, handsome, absolute *unit* of a man 💪🏻 bless
-your #1 simp
Thank you Tye. I had no idea you were going through transition. Congratulations. God bless you.
the voice transition tripped me tf out lmao congrats to you!!!
It's interesting to see someone get so excited about what is basically a second puberty. I am a cis guy and I really dont remember actually changing during the process of puberty... at the time everything seemed the same as it had always been. I just sort of realized it had happened after it was already over with.
But in retrospect I put my parents through hell Haha.
I’m 1 year today!!!
Congrats to you too! 🎉🤗
Why don't you post videos anymore?
🖖👊👌 I haven’t really had the confidence or motivation tbh
@@TylerNarwhal my dude, you probably looking and sounding your best after 1 Year On T. There's nothing to be ashamed about🤙
Started watching you about 1 year in on T! You were the only trans guy that I could actually connect with and feel good about being trans. Congrats, and thanks for everything :)
I’ve been out as trans for about 5 years and I’m still not able to get on T. I’m super jealous but still happy for you lol. Congrats man!
it's hard to be patient but hang in there! you're not alone ❤
I wish you luck dude
You’ll get there man! I’d suggest saving up money for T and top surgery (if you want it) as soon as you can so you don’t have to wait as long. I had to push top surgery back another year to save up more money for it
Maybe this playlist might be able to help

I came out as trans early to mid 2015.... I just started estrogen yesterday I’m also 22. I have a long way to go. And I’m so mad at myself for not starting sooner. But at the very least I’m happy I started. Already started feeling more like myself
that’s great, i’m so happy for you! I wish you the best of luck in your transition 💖
that’s great, i’m so happy for you! I wish you the best of luck in your transition 💖
Congrats, how is the transition after a year
This October 1st will be my 2 year on T and I remember finding your channel on here years ago when I was researching on this stuff and you helped me out a lot. I love you and I'm so happy to see how happy you are. I have a long way to go with myself and my transition and I thank you for being there and being one of the reasons I never feel alone. ❤
I'm a little over a month on T, it took me longer than I wanted to get here, but I found your videos when I was freshly graduated from high school and barely out to my closest friends. You have been one of the most inspirational and motivational youtubers, thank you for sharing your process with the world
At the start of my transition almost 4 years ago, who would have thought that good ol’ Ty would have been my biggest role model??? I always had a general respect for the guy, but now I really feel like we’re good friends despite not knowing each other. Love having you around man!
Omg the last ever Tyger poem! 🥺The end of an era! Congratulations on six years man - Ive been watching you for a few years (why does that sound creepy af) anyways I am so so happy and proud of you my dude you seem to be so much happier and comfortable with yourself now ❤️ (ps the shrek layers thing made me lose my shit)
*i just came out at school and can’t wait to start t eventually. wish it was sooner, but i’m just glad to be where i am right now*
It's funny watching all these videos to see where people are with their transition you get so caught up in the physical, but I'm nearing 2 years on T and I'm honestly just relieved to hear you say that you've changed internally. Seeing how comfortable you are with who you are is reassuring just as much if not more so as seeing the physical stuff. Thank you for sharing Ty. You've helped a lot of people find their way and I'm glad you've found yours.
being the around the same age it really is amazing how different someones transition can be. congrats man!
I just areguler guy ,that go in these chanel by accident ,and all my opinions about trans pepole changed alot ,i kind of admire you man ,you are great👍
When I saw one year Ty I smiled big. I didn’t realize how comforting your channel has been over the years from my pre-t life to my adventures in the first four years of my transition. I’m proud of you from one trans brother to another you make us proud
whew... ive been subscribed to this channel for years and... i always get so happy whenever you make vids like, directly about the process and stuff, like, showing how its been for you. i know i personally will never be able to transition, even if ive longed for it since like.... i dont know, ten years ago, its just not possible for me due to many reasons, mainly because of where i live, my super controlling and conservative (see, lgbtphobic in general) and how they have always controled each detail of my life, even as far as "jokingly" planning who i will marry and when i will have children, yknow , the usual. so, for someone who will never have the chance to live this process, i am eternally grateful for these years of watching you climb your way up, reach your transition goals and just... inspiring me, and many others. when i watch one of these kinds of vids from you, i cant help but feel hopeful that, maybe, just maybe someday i'd be able to see these same changes on myself and finally feel happier with how i look. thank you for being such a wonderful creator, ty, lots of love
I don't usually comment on things, but I've been following back before you started T, when I was figuring myself out too. Your videos have really helped me out a lot through the years, whether it was advice videos or looking at memes. It's been seriously awesome seeing the changes you've gotten from T but especially awesome seeing your personal growth. Thanks for being such an open, honest, authentic guy!
WOW, you look great!! Very handsome!! 👍 🙂 I’m a MTF transgender... I’ve been on estrogen for 2 years and I ❤️ what it’s doing to my body 😊
♥️
You’re such a beautiful girl 👧
Thanks everybody, that means a lot to me 😊
You’re a gorgeous lady.
You're cute, got snap?
I'm thrilled that you can finally say you're fully transitioned Ty! I hope to get there someday.
watching you talk makes me so happy in a way. it makes me feel at ease and confident about transitioning.
hey ty! i discovered your channel back in like 2014-15 when i was questioning my own gender identity. throughout the past years you really helped me. i have a top surgery consult in late november and have been on T for almost 1.5 years. thank you for everything you do :)
You were my biggest role model back in high school when I was first questioning my gender identity. I missed you when you stopped posting and was so glad when you came back! You've helped me get through a lot of tough moments in my life
This is my fifth year out as a trans man, I'm finally turning 18 next year and will be able to take it, I'm so psyched, I'm also graduating too.
Your videos have always helped me through my dysphoria, thanks Ty and I wish you could be at my graduation 💞
I’ve seen some of your newer videos, but this one just popped up so I decided to watch it. Don’t know why, but this one gave me tears. I just love that you are able to live your authentic self! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your journey, and supporting the young people who are currently finding their way in the craziness of today’s world. Your example shows them that it is possible to live a life that doesn’t fit in with some people’s ideas of how they should live, and it is possible to thrive while living authentically. We all need to remember those things. Thank you!
I can't even begin to say how happy it makes me to see you at such a healthy place. I feel I owe so much of who I am becoming to you. It was your 2yrs on T video that actually sparked my gender identity journey over 4yrs ago.. maybe 5 by now. At that time I was at such a low & lost place. No matter what I did it felt like a stranger looking at me in the mirror. Looking back I was so uncomfortable in my own skin..and I can see how destructive I was being to my body as well. Then as if like fate your video appeared on my recommendation & things started to click from there. So thank you for sharing your transition..idk if I'd be me today if you hadn't.
Oh wow, insane to realise it's already been close to 7 years. I think I've been following you since around the time of your coming out as trans video, when I was still very much in the closet and unsure about what I wanted. Now I'm over 4 years on T myself, and had top surgery over 3 years ago! These kinds of videos always put that into perspective for me, as now I usually tend to forget about my transition when I'm just living my life.
Anyway, just wanted to say that your videos and the many encouraging messages you put out there have really stuck with me over the years. I'm loving the happiness and chillness that radiates from you, and I am really glad you're at such a good place in your transition and that you're so comfortable with yourself. Also wanted to add that I love your style and the mullet is nothing short of glorious! Keep doing you, and thanks for the many years of lovely videos and words of support for the trans community x
I remember when you started T and I was like "meh, that would never happen to me" still, I was so happy for you, and know here I am 2.5 years on T . Time flies for sure. Plus: You can't imagine how happy I'm for you, you have achieved sooo many things ❤
Thank you for you updates so far on transitioning. Been following you since your pre-T till now and I’ve also gotten the courage to transition myself. I am now 5yrs on T. One year behind you. Took me 1yr watching your videos to summon the courage 💪🏼 THANKS!
When I came out, I thought that I had to look super masculine and now I'm a "femboy"
Screw Instagram!!!! Your hair is glorious!!!! Best mullet ever!
I can't believe it's been 6 years! I've been here since your coming out video, and it's been such a blessing to see you come into yourself especially in the most recent years.
Thanks for everything,
Sam, 7.5 months on T
PS the voice drop is starting holy shit
So happy that you can be yourself and are in a good place ☺️ I'm super happy for your, I know this journey has been long and sharing it with the world is BRAVE as fuck.
@Neal Baltierra randomly calling strangers idiot??? Really, go fuck yourself
As a long-haired guy myself, who's dating 2 other long-haired guys, I have to say I approve of your mane.
Found you via a recommendation from James Somerton's latest vid.
I'm a week late, but congrats on a successful, complete transition! (I know you probably get 'dude ur so hawt' comments all the time, but only because they're true. You have a lucky girlfriend).
2020's almost over, dude. Stay strong, we'll all get through this together.
I’ve watched you since you started your journey, my current partner at the time was also transitioning and you helped me through that process more than I could ever describe. Its been a couple years now since I’ve seen you & I can’t believe the difference since the very first “Tiger tiger..” I’m so glad to see you’re still doing great. I’m so happy for you Ty!
I love this. It was super dysphoric but I did a “before” shoot before I got top surgery a few months ago and next week I’m going my “after” since I’m going to be 4 months post-op soon. And I’m super happy I did it.
i rarely comment, but i kinda feel like i owe you this? three years back watching your videos honestly got me through that coming out/waiting for anything to happen phase. i'm now 1.5 years on t and top surgery is four months away. you're probably aware of your impact on many 'trans babies', but you fr just helped so much; so thank you.
i love singing and i've recently been recording myself singing bc i'm hoping to go on T one day and it would be really cool to compare the difference in my voice :)
since day one of following you, i knew you’d be one of the most lovely people to see grow overtime. i’ve followed since i saw your “dan & phil” video about 7 years back & i thought you were so cute, funny, and kindhearted. little did i know i’d still be pumped as hell (& also emotional) every time you upload, even almost a decade later! you’re so great and i’m proud to see how true to yourself you’ve become. i know the views/comments of others can really put your mind in a dark place. because i too let those things really get me down a few years ago, and it’s only been as of recently that i’ve allowed myself to just say, “fuck that” to trying to conform to what everyone around me wanted. i’m finally 100% allowing myself to dress & be who i feel inside has always been there and i’m thankful to have positive people in my life currently that love me for me & i hope you have just the same!! - love to you, always, han.💛
You were the first trans man I ever saw actually, and you inspired me to come out and transition cause I saw the changes I wanted and you made it seem like it was possible. I remember watching your first year on testosterone video and I instantly subscribed after that, I was able to get through the rough patches of not being on T and being dysphoric as all hell cause of you. I’m now a year and seven months on testosterone and I still watch your older videos to compare myself. You are kind of my hero man and I am glad I found you when I did :)
My brother and my cousin are both trans men, I just discovered your channel and I look forward to learning from your experiences. There are many that should educate themselves (we both know, for most of "those" types they will never learn and have no real desire to) but for those of us who are advocates and are completely supportive, it's awesome that we have places to come and obtain a real perspective on what your journey has been like, what you've dealt with, how you've handled those experiences, etc. I appreciate how candid you are.
You are very handsome by the way, those bashing your current "style" choices just needs to see beyond it. You are hot in every one of your yearly check in videos, and yes... The mullet is def controversial, but I dig it on you with the muscle tee. It's giving me 80s vibes, like fast times at Ridgemont High, Breakfast Club, like that vibe...
This seriously was posted at the right time. I just came out as trans and I'm having a hard time getting my family to accept it. It's so awesome to see how far you've come!
Man i started watching your videos like 7/8 years ago. The growth you’ve had it terms of how different you express masculinity over the years is really inspiring. Trans men can be weird online with gatekeeping how to express masculinity (though its gotten better). Idk its nice to see someone with a decent sized platform not be gross about gender rolls
Dude you started T right when I figured out I was trans, I found out hormones are a thing when I stumbled upon your one day on testosterone video lol. I used to watch your one year on T video ON REPEAT and I was so fucking jealous because I thought I'd never be able to do that. Took me 3 years to start testosterone because I had to fight my way through and convince countless doctors which had no prior trans patients that it's a real thing. Now I'm finally 11 months on T and it's so amazing seeing you complete your journey. I hope I'll look as good as you do in 5 years lmao. Thank you so much for documenting your transition, I know it sounds dumb but you saved my life with those videos. Thank you man.
i haven't been subscribed for much longer than 2 years, but you've been a part of my youtube experience here and there for quite a while now. seeing this last update video after having seen the others is really something else. your growth as a human being is obvious in so many ways, and it brings me a ton of joy to have been able to witness you settle into yourself. your transition videos have been a companion to my own transition, and seeing this last one gives me an odd sort of "i'm leaving home and going off to college" feeling, if that makes any sense. as always, i hope you continue to do well and progress. (: thanks ty.
This was literally me with my first injection of T
Me: HAIR!
Testosterone: Excuse me?
Me: GIVE ME ALL THE HAIR, I WISH TO BE A BEAR!!!!
I can't tell you how much excitement I felt when I started seeing hair where it was blonde before, embrace the bear. I didn't really document my experience when I started since most of the dysphoria was based around how I looked(well I guess it was similar for most people but the way I looked just felt like I was looking at a stranger in the mirror, you know?), I'm still a bit uncomfortable with taking pictures of myself or anything like that but with some therapy, it's been getting better in those regards. Still have a lot of discomfort taking pictures or recording myself though.
Dude, that mullet......is awesome. I really need it now.
Ty: “Perfect male specimen”
Me, drooling: “mhm.... just keep talking.”
Hey Ty,
I’m so, so happy for you! Congratulations on finishing your journey. Congratulations on making it to the other side. We’re all so proud of you and cannot thank you enough!
I’ve been here since 1.5, which is insane to think about because your content is what helped me push the final switch within myself to finally, truly, accept who I am. Here I am now, 5 years later, nearly 2 years on T, and many months post top surgery. It’s insane and it started here, and I cannot thank you enough for putting your story out in the world. I know you know all of this, but it deserves to be said again.
I’m so glad that your content is the content that introduced me to my people. It could have been anyone’s, and it would have happened at some point regardless, but I am so so happy it was yours.

Congratulations man! I can't believe it's already been so long.
I’ll be honest I don’t watch your content as much anymore but I seen your transition videos back in the day. It’s just really amazing to be able to see you today as your best authentic self. I’m very happy for you!!!❤️
ty you’re so amazing and i’m so happy for you! i can’t wait to finally have my fit to me shirt 🖤
You were and still are such a handsome guy! And I'm so happy you are happy with your transition! I wish you all the best, you are so wholesome and kind.
HI I'm from France, and I'm trans, and I didn't watch vid yet brb
Nice vid ! And glad to see some happiness and positive nowadays (and glad u talk slowly so I understand xd). I've never took T and I don't think I will one day because many questions, many problems, but yeah u are right when you say no need to pressure etc, just chilling out and letting things happen. I wish I can become like you one day, but I have no hopes for myself idk
@@AniceCrocodile Hi I'm also trans and from France, just hang in there and be you authentically - you will know if T is for you or not, it's true that you shouldn't rush these decisions. Get to know yourself everyday
@@solarprogeny6736 oh salut xD et honnêtement jsp si je peux faire ça, ma psy m'a dit que j'ai du mal à m'assumer auprès des autres par rapport à ma transidentité, je me censure tout le temps, j'ai peur du regard des autres. J'ai peur de porter les vêtements que j'aime (genre chemises dont une rose qui est ma pref) et j'ai peur qu'on voit que je suis ftm ça me dérange mais en même temps quand je vois d'autres trans j'ai l'impression que je suis pas légitime d'appartenir à la communauté
@@solarprogeny6736 ya que ivl que je me sens confortable de dire que je suis un gars, mais irl jsp.. Je vis avec une personne homophobe et transphobe et même si j'ai yoink des vêtements rayon homme et m'habille pour avoir un bon passing je suis pas hype de me faire insulter pour ça
@@AniceCrocodile Je comprends totalement, c'est sûr qu'il vaut mieux pour ta sécurité ne pas trop montrer ton identité si tu vis avec une personne qui pourrait abuser de toi verbalement ou autre pour ça - pour le reste, c'est une question d'apprendre à te connaitre toi même, tu n'es pas obligé d'appartenir à des étiquettes très particulières du genre ftm; mais sache que peu importe ton identité, tant qu'elle est différente de ton genre assigné à la naissance, tu es queer/trans et tu fais partie de la communauté. tout le monde a une expérience différente et des besoins différents par rapport à son identité et son expression de genre. tu ne te reconnais peut-être pas dans ce qui est le plus communément représenté, c'est tout. Mon conseil, c'est de continuer ton travail sur toi même et de faire des expériences (moi par exemple, demander à mes amis alliés de m'appeller par un nouveau nom, ça m'a aidé à me rendre compte que ça me convenait énormément de changer de nom/d'identité)
I’ll be 2 years on T and 3 years post top surgery in December. Wild. Congrats and I’m so grateful for you and your content!
So happy for you!!
Can’t believe I have been watching you for so long. Thank you for sharing this journey. I’m so happy for you. You’ve helped me so much. *Big hug*
Holy shit!!!! Well, you look great
Dude... I haven't been here since the beginning but I definitely remember coming across your one year on t video very early on. It's amazing to see the direction your channel has taken and the person you've become. watching your videos when I was younger definitely gave me some insight on this community, and a bit about myself. I'm sad to see these timeline videos coming to a halt, but I'm also glad for you and how far you've come since the beginning. keep on going man, you're amazing.
