[dykeyy]

SEXUALITY AND GENDER IS 2 DIFFERENT THIMGS!!!! FFS THIS MADE ME ANGRY

i'm FTM

[AussieFTM]

It is sad to see our LGBT community so seperated at times. What radical feminists need to realise is that we are all working at the same thing, to live our lives with equality and freedom but most of all with happiness. We need to fight together as minorities, not against each other. We are all individuals and have different experiences. We are not all the same and need to be treated with respect. None of us fit in boxes, we are each on a spectrum. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

@LesMis931 sry message me on my other account: JustMalachi

[LadytronTSGirl]

@LesMis931 message me. I don't know how to send you one!

[msceriseNoir]

so fascinating.

[MrWalterlee1]

It'sbecause you lesbians don't know how to relate to the opposite sex. Not all men are beasts. You are all just a bunch of feminist man-haters. The Illuminati duped you into the Feminist movement. The real people in control is the Elite.

[msceriseNoir]

@MrWalterlee1 LOL

[calebsoulstalker]

@aryanvaryan ya it really doesn't make sence

[aryanvaryan]

I don't understand how gay people can say that gay is not a choice and that you're born gay, and then turn to trans people and tell them THEY have a choice and are somehow crossing some boundary like homophobes are accusing them of... Really don't get it...

[LesMis931]

I constantly go back and forth between the two, and...I don;t know what to do. Is there anyone out there who feels like I do? Can anyone help me?

[Laventear]

@LesMis931 You sound like you're gender fluid. :) I'm gender fluid, but I feel male most of the time.

[LesMis931]

Excuse me, I don;t really know how to say this but...I'm an 18 year old bi/pansexual woman and...I think I want to be a guy. Well...here's the thing. When I see myself in my mind's eye, I'm a guy. And I notice that I'm more comfortable with guys, I hardly ever identify with girls, when I joke around with my girl friends, I see myself as a gay guy, not a girl. And there are days when I really just feel male. But there are also days where I feel female. And I'm comfortable in my own body but

[The1stTaskIsDragons]

7:09 - Sorry, but I DID get through female adolescence thinking "Wow, I love my body." Quit acting like your life experiences apply to everyone else.

[0t0ku]

I am scared of some of the people here. I'm nineteen. I'm young. But I KNOW I am a man in female body. I want to transition, AT MY OWN PACE. I'm taking it slow, I want to know myself. You can't transition without truly knowing your internal self, your soul even. But NON of these people have any right to call me a cop out. They weren't there sitting at the bottom of the shower at 14, looking at their body, crying, and wishing you could just rip your body to pieces. Constantly asking WHY.

[The1stTaskIsDragons]

@0t0ku Hon, don't be scared of some of the people here. One thing I've realized in life is that, while some people are just jerks, there are always way more people than you'd think who will accept you. Just deal with your body and masculinity in a way that feels comfortable for you, and if some people don't like it, that's their problem, not yours, *hugs*

[iroam22]

Im a Female wanting to be a Male...it was hard just typing that sentence.I find it hard to say I " want " to be Male, I am a Male....Being called " Trans " freaks me out also..as I do not want to be called anything but Male..I never knew there was a name for the problem I have everyday,I thought its just the way my life is and thats that.

[The0utkast]

Ignorance is within all social groups man. This video kinda made my pissed. I dont know about any other guys out there, but I know my transition has NOTHING to do with sex, sexuality, my place in society, coping out blah blah blah. this is shit. I believe its a persons right to be happy with there body. None of you "femme" lesbians knows what it feels like to constantly have it slammed in your face that you cant be happy looking in a mirror. sigh...well...I dont get mad that often lmfao :/

[whatthefrakAlek]

Not everyone is sexual. I absolutely cannot agree that sexual practices hold as much weight in transitioning as they say. I'm not denying it's a possible factor, but when asexual people exist,point just becomes moot.

Also I hadn't the slightest that being trans was the 'in' thing now. I suppose my gender dysphoria is then really hip and cool and I should have a lot more of it before I can do anything about it like transition because I'm on the younger stages of my life. Cool.

[ckf1997]

I haven't watched the whole film, but I'd like to know if and how anti-trans feminists in this film account for MtF's and their abandonment of the so-called preference for masculinity and male 'privilege' in this society? I agree with jamesfortruth ... some feminists (more-so the old school feminists) do not know what they're talking about. They need to get biases in check and stop the marginalizing they hate in the first place. Is marginalization only for women and lesbians and maybe gay men?

[sportzgremlin]

You don't have to have a lot of sexual experience to know your gender identity. And just because "Jack" made the choice to not transition doesn't mean that no one should.

[Manacle180]

As a gay transman I do find radical feminists who oppose our existence to be discriminating. In the gay community amongst gay men I am treated with more respect, They seem to get it. Not all, but more of them. Living as a gay male is in NO way easier than living as a female, and living as a trans person is harder than living as a bio person. Stop calling it a cop out. It's harder than bio lives are. Who would EVER choose this life unless there was no other option to preserve ourselves?

[StormGoesBOOM]

Some Feminist are something else...

Transmen are not sell outs nor do they hate women.

It is hard being trapped in your own body...

We need to respect others and support our trans community.

[jamesfortruth]

Being a man is not easy at all, by the way, and it certainly not easier than being female in America. I would say it's quite the opposite.

[jamesfortruth]

Again, they mix everything up. Gender identity has nothing to do with sex. How can you have sex when you hate your body so much you don't even want to look at it? Wake the fuck up, please!

[aTRUEstencil]

i find it interesting that so many feminists think F to M's are "selling out" or wimping out. Easier to be a man? You think it's easy to feel like a man inside but be a woman outside? And then to tell people and then go through the transition? REALLY?

[lasofia13]

@aTRUEstencil o hai

[jamesfortruth]

@aTRUEstencil These feminists obviously don't know what the fuck they are talking about. The one thing that would have made my life less of a misery is if I could have started my physical transition much earlier;that way, I would not have had to spend all that money on surgeries and I would be done with this now.
