Shawn to Shauna before and after

[shawn3930]

I know I have been promising you all a new video, I am so sorry I have been busy, I am ill now battling cancer. It started as stage 3 lung cancer with of all things started in my back and spread to my left lung. I am now in stage 1, I have beaten all but 30% of it and doing Chemo. As soon as I am back in good health I will do an update of my life. Love and miss you all. Shauna

[jalaraable]

[ashley98102]

you are a wonderful person

thank you for sharing your story

you give hope to all of us

congratualtions on your transition and on being your true self :-)

[irate82]

4:50 just made me instantly cry because I am sooo ashamed of myself and I feel so ridiculous and it's just time wasted but it's so hard to get over.

[MsDallasRedhead]

@irate82 It's never too late to transition. I transitioned at 36 - 16 months ago. Check out my channel for my transition video - PROOF you can do it!

Best wishes :)

[urHOTyup28]

such a happy ending and your very pretty :)



[misterjmm]

ohmy, your amazing, quite a story. a big inspiration for all that have GID or are Intersex, its nice to know, that your happy and well. finally in the correct skin. Your amazing <3

[rdafomh]

This is a really beautiful video. I am so glad you are finally happy with the body you are in. You make such a lovely woman. Your mother would be so proud of you now. xxxx

[satojoko]

Glad you have the courage to put this out there. Even though I'm sure you feel hurt & damaged by others' attitudes, your courage shows your strength of character, which those who hurt you don't have in any form. I wish I could say I truly understand, but I honestly can't as I've not lived this myself. However, I can empathize & I can care. I'm very happy you are 'finding' yourself & finally feel you can live as your true self. Good luck with all. I wish the same for all who are experiencing this

[bizzyg12]

honey your are beautiful inside and out keep it up your happy with you being female and its who you are don't ever listen to those out there that are ignorant people who are miseable with themselves you can tell they want to come out but they just need a little help so sweetie keep up the positive spirit much love take it easy Shawna

[chrissyieful]

Shauna, thanks for sharing, you are doing fantastic, thanks for teaching us something. way to go girl.

[chrissyieful]

Thanks for sharing that must have been very difficult in itself. Proud and way to go girl.

[chrissyieful]

Thanks Shauna, deeply moving. way to over come and keep going. Happy for you also.

[latina2sweet1]

I saw your video and I'm so happy for you!!!!!!! Its never to late to be happy!Good for you!

[krpbdp]

Glad to see you are finally home Shauna, even though it has been a long and painful journey. Thank goodness you found the courage and strength to transition when you did...transition on the outside, of course. We know that nothing has changed on your inside. as you are the same there. Society has to do the changing! Thanks for sharing your story. I hope it will give other intersexed kids the courage to make a change if they desire.

[SuperNenalove]

wow omg what a story iam sorry you had to go through with that almost your whole life wasted bc of societies harsh views on people who are a little different from the rest of us not to say normal bc there is no normal!! hope you live the rest of your life the best it could be!!

[MyMeizitang]

Some one who went through so much struggle and almost suicide.... what a transformation! Cnograts on finally being closer to your goal! and happy or at least happier than you were

[1968Celeste]

@LeecH999 i'm so sorry You Tubers that I even responded to this guy. Please forgive me.

[LeecH999]

ghoul

[1968Celeste]

@LeecH999 wow leech, you must be an abused, miserable person to try to insult someone like that. Who or what are you anyway? i hate to break it to you, leech, but i think YOU are the real ghoul here.

[ChaosTehGuy]

Wow. You are really beautiful. You look young, and you have a wonderful sparkle about you. There's something about you I really like.

[slickdrake]

even tho I don't understand what you went through I could say this, just out standing. for the hurt you went through from school and in the navy was wrong in so many ways, and now that you are you for that I'm glad you finally come out into the open.

I hope you live a wonderful life :)

~drake~

[danagurl333]

what a very touching moving piece ... thank you for sharing with us!!!

~Dana~

[Goofy16girl787]

Shauna, you are SO beautiful, inside AND out :-D!!! I loved this video :-D.

[lizard78210]

You never had to be ashamed. I am glad you are finally the person you were meant to be.

[shawn3930]

To all the haters and misguided people who watch my video, do not judge me, I was born this way and have no control how my body changed. Look up intersex, and you will be able to view Ovetestes and what I had to live with.

[ctomeez0013]

@shawn3930 feel blessed you were born with only GID and so physically masculine. i was never very male besides my inside out plumbing and male pattern baldness later. now i'm getting so old i can't even hide my soft parts and don't see any reason to try any more. so i can see some happiness as a woman with a penis. it was seeing transgendered guys here in austin knocking off the finest women all over the place. it's happening all on its own -- i need help soon or i'll need to check in somewhere.

[MsDallasRedhead]

@shawn3930 Congrats girl. You are like me/I am like you

I was diagnosed PAIS Grade 3 with a CYP17 deficiency. I knew I was PAIS, but I did not know about my ovotestes (left - ovary / right - testicle) had a orchiectomy in 2007. I found out post op the surgeon.

This was crazy 2 me - because I identified as a transsexual. This changed everything. Funny, my pediatrician told my mom she was having twins: In a way she did.

Check out my channel, I made a slideshow of my transition

PEACE&LUV YALL

[Hearten7]

Congratulations on becoming who you really are. May I ask if you had to have your gender marker changed? I suppose there was a legal name change. Your late transition reminds me of my son who transitioned at 37; he said he gave being female 1/2 his life and now he is going to live the second half as who he has always been. Amen to that! Does being intersexed make transition any easier, do you suppose? Every person has their own path I guess. Supportive mom.

[shawn3930]

@Hearten7

Being intersex makes it harder I think, the Medical portion has to be watched so much with the fact I can get cancer from within. All in all, I wouldn't change a thing from what I did up to now. I live both genders, my name is Shauna or Shawn which I answer to both but my gender marker hasn't changed yet, it will soon. Thank you for your support Hearten7.

[MsDallasRedhead]

@shawn3930 Everyones transition is dif. I suppose. For me, I feel my physical transition was smoother than most: pretty boy b4, really cute girl now - Having the orchi helped there to.

Mentally, its been harder for me in a way. Self acceptance of being a girl is easier now I had the PAIS diagnosis. But finding it was caused by a CYP17 deficiency and ovotestes made it much easier. I have tons of support from friends & fam. Transitioning intersexed was a breeze 4 me.

[Erin3169]

let me say to the people leaving rude and awefull comments you have no idea what its like for Shauna and others like her untill you know and lived through what shes been through and my self included get an education leave your bigotry to yourself anyone who laughs or think this is funny is sick and perverted!

[shinobiquinn]

Wait so your Intersex male and female not 50/50 (I know about intersex) but you were told to live as a boy even thou ur an intersex person whos more biolagicaly female. yOu thought of your self as a girl not as a boy..so your a transgirl or an Intersex girl? and nice video. :)

[mzcourtness]

beautiful <3

[rbugg91]

@TommyNoob1982 then y u watching it?

[earthBLUE3]

This is extremely BEAUTIFUL! Congrats Shauna! There's nothing MORE BEAUTIFUL than being comfortable, secure, and extremely PROUD of who YOU ARE!!!!! Growth is beautiful! Continue being an inspiration to other individuals similar to yourself! God Bless

[PallasthePurple]

Congratulations on your transition. I am supporting my friend who seems to feel that twenty five would be too old to start. Congrats on following your dreams and true self.

[dmdartfx13]

Hi I have to say that you are amazing and have givin' me hope that its not too late for me. You also mad me cry being so emotional as I am when you Thanked your mom for everything. I am going to comeout I'm tired of being someone I'm not and what I feel inside is I always wanted to truely be a woman too. xoxo Davina (dave now)

[WhiteFlowerLei76]

I've known a lot of really cool Transgendered people and two of my favorite films are about trans-people (A Soldiers Girl and TransAmerica), but coming from my background I don't think I would have survived being transgendered. I'm not surprised that depression and suicide are so common, transphobia is destructive and even Gay men and Lesbians can be transphobic.

[ElCibau]

thanks for sharing this shawn. i'm so glad you're happy now. i'd like to recommend the books (and blogs) of Kate Bornstein to you (if you haven't already read her).

hugs, and good luck!

[Kaleb1303]

Glad you made it, beautiful girl.

[gokustalker]

I have to congradulate you for posting this, made me smile when Shauna finally appeared. Stay safe and happy.

[horkomlecnacokolada]

Wishing you all the best! I know how this feels...

[alongezonga]

you go girl! I am happy for you!Get on with your life.

[74stef]

made me cry

[SpankerMyToaster]

3:51 Beautiful :D

[Anvariel]

You are beautiful! You are whole and perfect. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!!!

[priscillahowdy]

Kudos, girl!

I started about the same time,..and am so happy that even though it is much later in life, the journey is worth it. Happy days ahead my friend <3

[CDCarole]

Congratulations Shauna, you are finally the beautiful woman you should have been. It took me 40 years to accept who I was and now I am going through my transition. Wish you all the best. Carole x

[troopies]

As someone tossed into a rural area in the bible belt, I see everyday what you were "hiding from". Young gay people are being told by well meaning but misguided people that they are going to burn in hell. The snickers and remarks said to these kids are painful for me to hear, much less for them to endure. I will save your video and share it with them if I can. Maybe it will bring them some hope.

Thank you for being so brave.

[AlexisMeade1993]

Omg I cried at the end and I dint know you but you should be proud

[VanillaShordi27]

You are a very beautiful woman :)

[jattesugen]

[johniesalyve]

congrad's! I hope I will gain the nerve to come out before I go too far. I know I must but I am still trying to be what I am not. Thank you for sharing. Your experience gives me hope. God bless you are a blessing to us.

[MrsAlexisClyde]

[sydders03]

good luck shauna, hope you have found happiness sweetheart xx

[shumebute]

[SlackerAndy02]

You have turned into a pretty woman. I'm proud of you.

[Femininity53]

Shauna you are a beautiful woman and your story is very inspiring. I am 54 years old and have just begun hormone therapy on the 29 th of june. Please continue to post videos. God Bless. Louise.

[cookietanguy]

I'd just like to say that your story is very inspiring, my heart goes out to you for being brave enough to shine through adversity. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Congrats :)

[krae4dv]

That's a very cool story, but I have a question.

I wasn't quite clear with what gender you were born as..not to be offending in any way, shape, or form. But I was just wondering, were you born male or female?

[shawn3930]

The doctor put male, but recalled it when I was 11 that I was a female.

[kotekotekitty]

what song is this D.....;

[duvine]

Bravo! ;p

[shelise1985]

hats off too you!!!!

[Sthomp10]

im happy for you [;

[craptasticlife]

Do you regret waiting so late in life or do you look at it as better late than never? I feel I've wasted my life never taking that leap. Lack of self confidence has kept me in limbo and have recently just begun to feel like I've let it slip away and it is infact too late.

Anyway, congratulations.  You are a hero and inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing. :)

[shawn3930]

Sometimes I regret not changing but all in all I have learned so much living both genders. On the outside I was male and the inside female, but I thought female which helped my decisions on many things.

So I am happy I followed this path and now can educate others as well. Thank you all for your nice words.

[vickkifoxx]

5 Stars! Thank you for sharing such a great story and wonderful video! I am very happy for you! You deserve so much! Bravo!

[forestgumpaed]

congratulations to you for being what you always were in your hearts desire,your a woman to be proud of.

[kelseyheinz]

[DownsA530]

It's so wonderful that you've been able to become comfortable in your skin. It always inspires me to see such courage from such diverse and kind people. Continue to be proud and happy!

[Skeetie83]

You're beautiful! So glad that you've come home!

[nicolaholdsworth]

nikki from uk

[cheeryred]

Hi Shawna, I'm happy for you. Going through it myself, and it is so hard, but so necessary. Thank you for having the courage to be you. We can cry about lost time, or we can enjoy the time we have today. i'm glad you know the better path.

I wish you happiness, and lots of love.

Hugs,

Kate
