When I first saw this. On TV, on HBO. I cried. And my mom didn't understand. Because I feel the exact way. It scares me to know that someone goes through the same thing. But it makes me so happy that people know. This to me is so golden.
I love this video, this poem. It makes me look at myself and how I used to feel. I'm so happy to be in college where my teachers call me by my new name :)
I love the performance. I don't think they were trying to gain support for "transgender", but rather express the struggle inside one person. We all fight a battle with ourselves. Hell, it could be wanting to eat cake when you have diabetes :) Or being biracial (like myself) and identifying with both races. To struggle with yourself and the world is a natural part of maturing, and I think they did an excellent job of reenacting what we all go through at some point in our lives! Good work ladies!
@pooterray they say at the beginning that its for transgender support. The rest of your statement and you can relate easily to internal struggles, but its clearly stated what its for.
@watchoutfornargles I know that they adress the issues, but I feel like if it isn'ts omething that you have been through than it is hard to write about. It really is just my opinion, but I think they should write what they know. I am trans, and it is hard and they just do not portray it in the most accurate way that they could, I think.
They could have had some pauses in between lines and stuff, it felt a bit rushed. Other than that.. absolutely brilliant. Transgenderism is something that everyone needs to understand and this makes it a lot more understandable. A passionate performance.
This is beautiful. I have felt every word before. And I cried near the end, when it showed them holding their hands. That image is all I've ever wanted to feel.
@ShayminFTW1 You didn't back up your opinion -_-, why do you think this video is stupid? Anyone can just write a statement, but you need to back it up to show us why we should consider you as an intellectual
i need to back it up or else it's not an opinion? okay.
all this "gay pride" shit is annoting because all it does it fluff up gay people's already massive egos. they complain that they want to be equal, but instead they expect to be whorshiped for being different, meanwhile they degrade the homophobes, or even just straight people, for having different opinions. all this "gay pride" shit is annoying because all it does it fluff up gay people's already massive egos. (continues)
@ShayminFTW1 I never said it wasn't an opinion. You have one and you shared it. Nothing wrong with that. It's the hatred behind it that's unfortunate. I'm not going to prolong this argument since clearly it won't go anywhere with you. Your statement "they degrade the homophobes" implies that you support them. Just saying.
@ShayminFTW1 haha no im def older nd im def nt an idiot lol i can alrdy tell im smater than you becuase you are all in your feeling when i really dont care :) so keep on its pretty funny how youre feeble mind works. its quite entertaining you shoud put yourself in cage and go do tricks at a local zoo :)
@ShayminFTW1 oh nd btw da onli idiots are people like you who judge and dont know what they are talking about..smh people like you always make my day... have a nice day ass hole :)
they may not be as "open-minded" as you, but their opinion matters as much as yours. you don't even have to agree, just accept the fact that omg people have different opinions!!
@ShayminFTW1 I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you here. Just trying to resolve the previous argument in which you stated the video was "stupid" and expected not to get a response. So you thought it was stupid, and then got angry that someone called you stupid. So instead of getting upset and avoiding future moments like this, defend your opinion.
This is very powerful to me because I haven't felt right in my own body. I don't think I'm transgendered, but for those that are, they are immensely strong people.
I do like this poem, and they are amazingly talented, but being transgendered is so much more than "wearing a tux to prom." It is hard, and sad, and hopeful and so many things that I think this poem didn't adress well.

fuck im in tears right now. this poem is a masterpiece and their performance was with such passion and inspiration. it truly speaks to me in a way that i know not everyone will shun me for being transgendered. i love this
This gives me chills every single time. I have a friend who's transgendered, I love them to death. ♥ Twelve people are extremely stupid and apparently don't understand the word "Acceptance."
you need to stop assuming. it is a video. someone might not like the video even if they support the message. stop being ignorant.
personally i did not like the performance. regardless if the message i did not like how it was performed. and then there is a feedback option. did i like what i saw? no, the performance was in my opinion not good. so i disliked. and you should respect that. so get down from your moral high horse or you are just as bad as the people you judge.
This poem made me cry, it gave me chills, people who are against transgendered people need to listen to this, this certainly makes one feel what they go through. <3
As a transgendered male to female my self this hits very close to the heart. I'm one of the lucky few whose whole family is supportive and have a great support group to go to for my therapy.
Story of my life....I wish i was born a boy...I've gotten people to Call me Derrick now but sadly girls still look at me as a girl...even though i have a masculine jaw,padded down chest, and masculine features. I always am able to pass until i open my mouth...I have an unusally high pitched voice...smh! Cant wait till i move out and can have the surgery!
Shivers ran up my spine. Even though I'm a supporter of LGBTQ, I never really realized how hard it is for transgendered people to be confident, or to break through, but this... This made me realize. I'm bisexual, but this was beautiful, and I will never forget it. Tomorrow, I'm giving my transgendered friend the biggest hug ever, because hir deserves it.
@textingnonstop1 I just wanted to clarify: the phrase would be "transgender people" or "trans people," not "transgendered people." Also, "hir" is used in place of "her" and "his." The gender neutral pronoun replacing "she" and "he" is "xie" or "ze."
I mean absolutely no disrepect! I just wanted to clear that up. I'm glad you found this video so inspiring. I love it, too. :)
This presentation brings me joy. The poem itself is tragic and brilliant at the same time, and it's amazing that you almost feel the sorrow, pain, and confusion. It's like this whole time you're rooting for James and, in the broader spectrum, transgenders, and more than that, everyone who's afraid to just be themselves. But, most of all I like that this could be done by two young ladies who simply have an open mind. Great things happen when we try to just understand one another.
@PolytheisticDeities - Thank you for your lovely comment hun. It is 3rd April 'Mothers Day' today here in England and your comment and other people's comments mean so much to me. I have always told my children to follow their dreams and never give up on what they beleive in. And i say that to all of you here who have commented also. If there are people who dont wish to understand, then its their problem - not yours. I hope your life is full of peace and happiness xx
This is so strong, so beautiful. It brings me to tears. As a female to male transgender, this really makes me feel better and it shows that there are others out there who feel the same or similar things.
im not transgendered but if i havnt found this video. i wouldnt understand most of the ppl who are close to me nowz..beautiful and well spoken that it touched me<33
this is who i am.. i can't tell you how much i love this video.!!!!!!!!! thank you for showing this to the whole world. the 6 ppl who disliked this video. don't understand
I'm sorry if this seems ignorant but is Melissa born female or was she born inbetween the two genders. I just would like someone to explain this a little bit.
"Melissa" was born in a female body, but your body doesn't define who you are. "Melissa" is actually "James", a boy. The poem is about his struggling in this body that he hates, this body that doesn't fit his mind.
i have listend to this many times and for the 40 time watching this it still brings a tear to my eye :D it i amazing that they had to will power and the strength to stand up there and do tht
I'm trying not to cry. that's how i feel everyday at school all the time. when my old friends talk to me and i scream my name in my head at them. this poem is beautiful and reminds me how awesome poetry and people can be
It is so so SO fucking rare that I get my identity as a transgender youth validated at all, but this does more than that - it speaks to some of the struggle that I went through growing up, and some of the struggle that I still experience.
this is so beautiful. I cried
