Gender Blenders Week 5: But I'm a bro!

[shatros]

Your story reminds me of my first P.E. class in Junior high. I did not know, did not find out that we were suposed to shower comunally after P.E. class and I was mortified. It was the very first time I had ever knowingly been naked in front of anyone. I waited until I thought all the other boys were done then I snuck into the showers quickly but it did not work, there were a dozen boys that followed me in and I peed myself in the shower. ridicule and humiliation followed for 6 years.

the blonde hair does give you a feminine touch. . .

[peebzzz]

I'm glad you got a spot on this channel dude =]

[dove127]

you kick ass. just want to say i really connected with your story and am glad there are more androgynous identified people on this channel. keep it up dude!

[HerEyesWereWild]

Awesome Khaos t-shirt. :P

Yeah, I really identify with everything you're saying! (As another androgyne-identifying biological girl who hangs out with boys... Pretty select group, I'd say! :D) Your contribution isn't useless, I enjoyed listening to you talk!

[kingnereli]

I believe I was listening I just don't understand the dilemma. I would also prefer to shower with a room fool of women rather then men. I don't think that makes me transgender. It just makes me a normal man.

[dancewomyn1]

ut she's a girl. Understand the difference?? Of course you as a man would prefer to shower with women...She's a girl who doesn't really relate to being one, so the dilemma is one of gender confusion. Not something you could possibly understand unless you were a guy who considered yourself to be a woman, and where asked to shower with a bunch of guys...get it?

[kingnereli]

Yes, do you understand that my comment had to be reversed because I'm a male? When I was young it was awkward to shower with men and would have been thrilling to shower with women(opposite sex.) What the girl in the video is experiencing is completely normal. She is just handling it poorly and making confused decisions.

[LittleSora]

Hey, That sounds really similar to my experience. (exluding the trip to japan)

I was angry at puberty.

Take these new things back! I don't want them. lol. blah.

That really sucks about the whole bath thing though...

[litaford1313]

You are fantastic addition to our lineup..great first video & yeah....social interactions like locker rooms & as you said public showers can be extremely uncomfortable & also set an internal alarm off to us that ...yes ...we ARE very different... Great job ...byeeeeee.

[kingnereli]

Can you explain how awkward shower room experiences confirm that anybody is "different." Showering with other males was hard for me when I went through puberty. That is NORMAL. Never did the thought crossed my mind that maybe I am really a girl just because I wasn't excited about other boys seeing my newly changing body that I hadn't figured out yet. Those are very normal adolescent experiences. How we handle them is the determining factor.

[GenderBlenders]

yes, shower experiences are awkward for everyone. But theres a difference. While some people are awkward because they are shy, there are some of us that just arent. The difference is that had I been showering with guys, I wouldn't have given a damn. But I was showering with girls and there was something intrinsically wrong with that to me. Next time listen to what I am saying. thx. :)

welcome to genderblenders! =)

[despain76]

Great video! I really understand the shower thing. I loved sports back in highschool, but wouldn't play because of the whole lockeroom/shower thing.

I'm sorry 'bout the bro thing, that sucks.

[transbekka]

dude, super video. Welcome to transland.

I wonder if your companions even have a hint how hurtful they were to you in not including you? Sadly being excluded occurs far too often to transgendered peeps..

Nice shirt :]. Khaos Komix fucking rocks

[boschetto1984]

hey man- great vid. i definitely can understand the "in the midst of it" confusion- i also went to a small, crazy conservative (and catholic) university, and i know the toughness of coming out in that environment, plus just trying to figure out whats best for you when you aren't really sure and don't have a lot of support. and as for finally realizing you're trans- congrats! it sometimes takes an awful experience like that to cement the knowledge that something doesn't quite fit- it did for me.
