This is why im scared to tell my family..i love them dearly..but this..this drives me nuts cause theyll never support me..your parents remind me of mine..
You are a strong, patient and wonderful person. I admire how calm and steadfast you were in the face of the vitriol thrown your way. I know this happened a while ago. I stumbled on this vid, and haven't watched your others yet, but your level head is something to be proud of. Good on you for being yourself!
fuck that! my fams the same way wit their jesus bullshit. i dont remember jesus tellin ppl 2 treat their kids like shit. im genderqueer but cant imagine the struggles of trans ppl. keep ur head up
I put videos on my channel .... I finally came out to my friends and family.I was fem looking girl in high school just to fit into crowd.i was so unhappy...cried all day i didnt go out i stayed at home trying to figure out what to do and how to come out.as soon as i went to college i changed my appereance ,i cut my hair,i started wearing boy clothes and being more confident...i was trapped in my own body,i was something i didnt want to be...
And if people want to bring religion into it, I have to say "God loves the person but hates the sin". I hate when peoples defense is religion. I wish they had a true opinion and state some real facts.
Dude, no lie, I almost cried. This sounds so much like my parents when I told them I was bi. My mom called me an abomination and said I have no common sense -_- just stay strong in who you are dude. If your parents come around, that's great! If not, oh well. You have tons of people who support you and want to see the best for you =)
Oh good god, as soon as I heard that pricks voice I got pissed -_-' I'm so sorry you have to deal with that dear. I'm glad you have Kylie to support you.
THEY are the ones 'selling their souls to the devil.' because they dont want to understand and they dont want to be apart of your life. Dont let them make u think every Christian is like that, God Loves YOU. Hes called you to do great things in your life and hes watching over you and protecting you every step of the way bro, Keep your head up.
This us completely messed up. i am a christian and i am trans, just because you're trans doesnt mean your 'sellling you soul to the devil.' Im proud to be a Christian even though im a transman. Being trans has little to do with having a relationship with Christ! I LOVE my God. I LOVE my savior, and being trans ISNT EVER going to change that.
Holy fucking hell these parents deserve to be like arrested for somthing, i dont even know what. They dont deserve anything. The part that got to me was your mom saying youll never have a dick and all that, like wtf. For one you do grow a dick, and two a dick does not define being a man. Ive never felt so annoyed at somthing before. Id like to personaly punch both of them in the face.
The only thing that's going to destroy any person going through a transition is a parent full of evil hate and persecution. I really admire you. I just so happened come across your video and it touched me deeply. Not because I'm going through the same thing, but because I didn't really understand what true struggles the transgendered community go through!
It's sad because I think Ayden's parents really love him. They just can't see eye to eye, perhaps because of a life time of indoctrinated beliefs. Maybe sometimes we have to accept that we won't always believe the same things and it is inevitably going to be painful :(.
Wait.. so you're only a man if ur dick can get hard? hell, then there's a lot of females with dicks in the world! And I guess the older a man gets the more female he gets.. i mean.. old men cant get it up either :p haha
Dude, I'm truly sorry your parents are so close minded. They also sound childish - what parent uses the words dick, get hard, and boobs with their kid? An incredibly immature one, sorry to say.I come from a religious family and they'd never use that crude language. I wish you the best, man.
"if yeh wanna be a part of an abomination..." WOW I'm sorry, but what a hick. You live your life the way you want and the way you feel is right. "we cannot sell our souls to the devil" LMAO. I'm sorry but your parents suck. You're beautiful and you are a very strong person. "you are never going to be a man" Yeah, you are. You're going to be one of the strongest men ever. You already are. I wish you were my brother or something so you would have a family that treats you right.
You are an amazing person. And even though your parents don't think you can ever be a "man" you are one. You are a man.. That is what you are and I'm so happy that you are strong enough to stand up to everyone and tell them that is who you are. Everyone else who is afraid to admit the truth to themselves, you give them courage and hope. Even though your parents may not accept you, gradually the world is starting to. And you will get your acceptance from hearts around the world NOW.
this broke my heart. You are a beautiful person, I'm sorry but your parents are terrible. You are an amazing person, don't let anyone tell you differently!
Ayden, as a follower of Jesus Christ I want to apologize on behalf of those too blind and too set in their ways to see the amazing human being that you are. God has never himself intended to hurt you or in any way disenfranchise you and I hope you can accept his love for what it is- unconditional. You're an inspiration to many, God bless.
you're a strong person, I know they're your family and it hurts, but you need to do what you believe in. Everyone who watched this video is going to support you
Take it and run, man. I'm glad you know who you are. A lot of people don't figure themselves out for their entire life. I'm sorry they don't wish what truly is your actual plan--God or not. And if there is a God, you are in his plan. Don't listen to them. You've got this.
I liked this video for how well you dealt with this. I would also like to dislike this for the things your parents said, but I think the value I place on you is much higher than your parents. Therefore, thumbs up it is.
Goddamnit, wtf is wrong with these parents?! All I can say is, stay strong, brother. The world is full of crap but it's also full of people who refuse to take the crap. As long as you stick to the latter and dodge the former you'll be fine. So much respect for you putting this out there on youtube - visibility &c. Good luck to you and Kylie, I'm sure you'll have a long and happy life and hopefully adopt some kids to love, you know, unconditionally.
God teaches people to reject their child because they strive and change to be WHO they ARE??? Religion has nothing to do with LOVE and ACCEPTANCE. I'm sorry but you're parents are horrible.
That's horrible, that your parents could sat that to you. I know I'd be devastated if my mom told me that! (thank whatever rules over us from whatever paradise there she she didn't) It pisses me off that your parents are pulling the God card on you. I hate it when people do that. You sound like a great person!
I've told my dad he supports but I told my grandma who I live with an she put the God thing on me too. Its not cool. This is me an who I want to be but she's going to screw everything up! I'm not backing down
Your parents 'made you' There is no talking to people like that... I'm sorry they are so ignorant. You have to live your life the way you know you have to and you will and be a happy and contented man, like the man you are. You may have to walk away to achieve your goals n then maybe they will come back... I doubt it but at the end of the day, YOU are the most important person here, just do what you have got to do...
Hey! Just wanted to share a song with you that I've written, and it is mainly for anyone who is transgendered. It's called "It Can only get better" and I hope you will listen carefully to the text:)
You just saved my life. I just came out to my mom that I'm trans last month, and it's been really hard. She doesn't accept it at all. She doesn't understand that I don't want to be her daughter, but her son. I wanted to kill myself, but after I saw that it's worth the struggle and the determination; I want to fight for my rights and stand up for myself. Thank you Ayden.
most parents are like that even if they dont tell, like my mom when i told her i wanted to change my name she said "ok if you keep your first name as a middle name" but she still dont want to call me that. and my dad got all sad and mad when i told him about it. they tell em they will never see me as a man, but a woman. it sucks when they dont wanna understand :( but i have seen that if you never tell ppl your sex or if you do and then never show the prof you was born girl, you will be a man :D
A body doesn't define who you are. I'm a female by gender, I'm a male by mind, and spirit. What makes you a man or woman is who you are inside. Between the ears. It's not the body. The body is just the shell of what's inside, what's inside is what defines who and what we really are. I just hope one day people will see that.
People that are so obsessed with God ruin their own kids life?! WHY! It's rediculous and we wonder why most Atheists hate us so much! Because overly paranoid people they can ruin someone's life! I'm glad this guy is strong, and will fight for who he is. Truly amazing. He is a great role model!!!
And another thing, no where in the bible does it say that being transgender is a sin or an abomination. Give me a break, people put that shit in there so they can have an argument.
Oh my god. I'm confused. at one side i feel what his parents feel. but i know its hard being him. Good luck bro! hope you can have your parents back. xx
this made me ball my eyes out. i would have lost it on my parents. youre the strongest man ive ever had the pleasure of knowing through the internet. youre amazing, youre just so inspiring. youve made a difference in my life. youve given me the strenghth to come out to my mother. they will soon see that lindsey was never there, its always been you ayden. i have much love for you and kylie. keep your head up sweetie! <<33
You need to cut these people out of your life. You really need to stop suffering for them. We all choose our families. A great deal of the time our families are those that we are born into. But our families are the people that we love who love us. These people don't love you enough. I'm sorry for the pain they have caused but no deity that loves us would put us through this. Why do people worship something they believe hates? Not me. I'm not interested in such a jerk.
Real parents love their children. Real Christians love other people. You poor guy. I hope you find support in other places. I admire your strength and courage.
I don't know if i could stay as strong as you do, i got really lucky with my parents, and I don't think I could manage to stay as determined to live how i knew was right if they weren't supporting me. You're doing an amazing thing xox
I usually don't comment on things but you spoke to me. You truly did. I feel like you and I are the same person. I'm 18 and am seriously considering the surgery just don't want to regret it later in life. Keep your head up man fuck the world. You and your wife to be is all that matters!
ur amazing:) real parents love their children no matter what, mine love me and accept me for who i am, a good person, i can't imagine all that crap u have to put up with!!! kudos 2u bro:)
it's good how you managed to smile through 2:26 of this video, that abomination bit made me sad, you're not an abomination. i also watched a very interesting documentary about ftm's having surgery to create a male penis that does get hard and it does work so tell your parents that, ive forgot the name of the documentary and its a british one cos im from england but if i remember the name of it i will tell u. what if there isnt a god? your parents would have said all these nasty things for nothin
You are an awesome person! I live in east Texas and I am a lesbian trust me dude I get how hard it can be! I'm crying but it's more for your parents that they would rather shun their child and be so unhappy than to just accept you! I think I will go home tomorrow and just hug my parents! Anyways I admire you for being who you are, you are a true role model to all those people who can't live as the gender they need to be out of fear and rejection. Props!
I cried so hard at this video, you are one of the most amazing people I know. I think I might be a transgender FTM and I'm scared. I am so scared to tell a single soul because I'm afraid that this would happen to me. And you just sat there, without shedding a single tear. You are the most inspirational person to me. You are amazing and you are beautiful! Thank you SO much!
How can someone do this to their kid? They're sitting there crying over how hard it is for them when they're basically rejecting you just because you're living your life how you want to. Truly disguisting. Some people never mature enough to handle the fact that the earth does not revolve around them, and neither do other peoples lives most of the time. Stay strong Ayden, what you're doing is amazing and you seem to have gotten all the balls in your family xD
@RikkiTalks not at all, if their child is living against their beliefs, they have the right to do what they want. just because that's there child doesn't mean they have to tolerate what she's doing
I am literally speechless. I cannot imagine having parents who didn't accept me for who I am and this made me want to cry and tell them that no-one chooses to feel the way that they do. You don't choose your skin colour, you don't choose to be straight. So why would people choose being gay, or feeling like they're meant to be the opposite gender? It's just unfair that other people refuse to understand that.
Reality is, you are your own person and you got to be all right with your own decisions...screw everyone else! Your parents just don't get it, but if they really wanted to understand, they would make an effort.
I had a converstaion with my parents practically exactly the same as ths. n till i saw this video, i was thinking i couldnt carry on with my transtition, i was thinking tht the only way out would just be to kill myself. i dont wanna live being miserable. but watchin u ayden, and see tht u and so many other transguys r going through this... maybe i can carry on with my transition. you're incredible dude. thankyou so much for posting this video.
So much pain on both sides of the conversation. I'm really sorry that your parents really aren't in a place right now where they can understand or be open to you... but people are always subject to change so don't give up. Glad you still love them and they love you; maybe it'll take years still but don't give up on them.
You should tell your parents that god made us all equally just different perspective and that he loves us no matter one. If they put god first before you that's really low. Your a man no matter what, your gender is what your mind tells you, no what's under the pants or people.
You are probably the strongest person I have ever met online. I find it incredible that you did not let your parents bring you down. You kept fighting back, defending who you truly are. You have really inspired me dude.
cont..You shouldn't expect their understanding because that might never happen, and forcing it upon them isn't the right way to go. As painful as it is, you should get used to the fact that your parents won't be ok with your lifestyle, at least at the moment. Take things slowly and just try to understand their way of thinking. I wish the best of luck. Peace
I'm sorry that you have to go through this, but what you did here is just wrong. It's a family business and you should've kept it that way instead of putting it here on YT and ridiculing them. They obviously love you, but can't accept the lifestyle you choose for yourself and that's their right. Your mom was in pain because she feels that she has lost her daughter and your father seems like a typical religious guy who is against homosexuality.
I'm so sorry your parents don't support you but at least you're lucky enough to have a gf that IS there for support. I hope you know that God will love you no matter what and in the end you'll join your parents in heaven. God does not judge your body he judges your soul and as long as you have love in it (not hate) that is all that matters. Good luck with your transition. Peace.
That sucks your family doesnt support you i wish people could be more supportive. your right about you always being the same person. i hope things work out with you and your girlfriend :)
The comment: "I wanted to visit you before the major changes started, but I guess not..." just IDK, moved me so much, the fact that you love these people so much but they just cant stand you to the point of you not seeing them. God, It breaks my heart. I dont have an accepting family, but only the ones that I can live without spew hate in the name of love at me.
im so sorry about that...your parents should support you no matter what...im sorry...im lucky enough my mom and my blood father support me but im so sorry that they cant see how great of a person you are. we are not abominations and you are not of the devil. always believe that. i love that you do all these videos for people and your doing what makes you happy. keep it up
When I first started watching this video, I was confused as to why you would post such a private conversation on Youtube. But, I realized you are showing people that, yeah, it can get really rough, it may not be a wonderful experience to transition without your family's support, but it can be done. This is an important video, and I thank you for posting it.
I love you. I wanted you to know that! I don't know you, but I watched this and was flabbergasted that parents could act this way to their child. You seem like a very patient person and they are lucky to have a son who is that respectful of them.
I'm so so sorry you don't have support, I feel so lucky, I'm just like you. Waiting to change to male, my parents support me and never complained once.. So sorry, hope it gets better.. You are who you are!
it makes me angry that she thinks you arent a man because you wont have a dick. This upsets me so much.. more than i thought it would.. im so sorry for the loss of your parents. Its sad that they wont accept you because they fear god.. thats ridiculous. This is who you are. Why cant they understand? Some people are so brainwashed. Its very brave of you to confront your parents. I hope they come around someday. I dont have the courage to come out to some people.
wow. This is heart-breaking. May your parents be enlightened and stray from ignorance. I really feel for you, brother and I hope that they are educated by what you are going through and who you really are. You said all the right things, and remained the bigger person. Props to you!
Sounds like my parents years ago. Things will change over the years! Thanks for sharing this conversation. It's a total Healing for us, Ayden and his parents. Goddess Bless Ayden's Folks.
I can only hope that when I come out to my parents as a trans* person, that no matter what happens, I'll be as strong as you. My fear is that my parents will react similarly to yours.
Thank you for your bravery and your good heart, man. I hope that you and Kylie encounter the best in life from here on out. You are both beautiful people.
i am very very proud of you fella, ur seriously such a strong person to do that, and you can be who you are, and do ehat you do, and that is brilliant, one objection wine? really? :p jest kdding with ya. the reason i stumbled across your channel is my bf is ftm and has a channel, and u came up on my main page, just wanted to tell you your not an abomination, your a brilliant, person, ur an individual, you have a very calm temprament, which is awesome. i knw i dnt knw u persnaly, but ur cool,
you give me so much hope that i just. i just can't. i hope your transformation goes perfectly and you are happy for the rest of your life, because you deserve it.
I hope your parents eventually come around and accept you. One day they'll hopefully see that transgender is not a choice and you are being exactly what you are meant to be.
God Will Judge them... They are judging you... and God Judging them. Being Transgender is not a choice. Dont stop... dont deny yourself you know whats right for you. What is happening i Know I am a little late.
@iagoarchangel Wtf? This is so inspirational. He is so brave throughout this entire video while his mother is talking down and being way unsupportive. And you are worried about this video being illegal? If he's not worried about it then why are you worried about it?
Dude, No matter how much I and all your allies support your position, you can't record a phone call without the other party's permission. This is an illegal wiretap. Did you inform your parents you were recording this call? Do they know it's on YouTube? Yikes, guy, fight the good fight, but keep it legal. -jimmy
I'm so sorry your family is like this. I'm from Texas and I'll Be Your Family. (i'm in Florida, now, but... I'm here for you in any way I can from here.
You ARE a man. You are strong and brave and yes they say you are a beautiful women: i say you will be a stud on testosterone. You seem to have a great heart and I hope someday they will realise how their son is beautiful in his tux at his wedding. I hope they will get to see and love the beautiful kids you'll adopt. Don't let their fear ruin your heart. It,s sad I know but you're not doing anything wrong you just want to be yourself and you have all the rights in the world to be happy.
My parents are exactly like yours. Only they would never speak to me again after I told them. I'm 49 now, my mother still won't take my calls, sends my birthday gifts to her back, considers me dead. Some parents are toxic, and only worried about how other people see them, they don't care about YOUR happiness. You just be you. You don't need a penis to be a man.
You're really brave to put this on the internet and even braver to try to connect with them after all of that hatred and distance they've created. I've seen the kind of fear that drives people to cling to beliefs over their own family, and it's incredibly ugly. By showing this, you're letting so many people know they're not alone and inspiring them to live for who they are - thank you. :)
Bro, I haven't told my parents yet because I know this is exactly how the conversation will go down. I've been on T about 3 months, I don't see or talk to them often because we've already had similar conversations. I give you serious props for handling it so well. For me, I have "adopted" family now.
Wow, bro. I have no idea how you kept your cool throughout all of that. Quite honestly I wanted to kick your dad in the nuts and smack your mom across the face. And the fact that you were planning on going out to see them when you knew they'd react like that... I have alot of respect for you, and really your videos are helping a lot of guys AND girls AND the people who are unsure, including myself out with all of this. Stay brave and keep at it.
This mindset is why I can't respect religion anymore. It's damaging to be so indoctrinated with ideas that devalue other human beings for being what/who they are.
When people talk about "choice" in sexuality, they think they mean that it's something that can be turned off, but the only real choice in the matter is between hiding who you are from the world and being who you are. Hiding is never the right choice. Unless you're an ax murderer deep down. Suppress that.
You are a MAN!!! The fact that you still love your parents no matter how they treat you makes you a strong, honorable person. God does not look down upon you or anybody else for being trans!!!!!!!! GOD forgives and GOD loves NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!! God will not judge you for what you can't help! You are such an inspiration to everybody out there. Thank you. I hope you're doing awesome on T!
This is why im scared to tell my family..i love them dearly..but this..this drives me nuts cause theyll never support me..your parents remind me of mine..

It's sad because I think Ayden's parents really love him. They just can't see eye to eye, perhaps because of a life time of indoctrinated beliefs. Maybe sometimes we have to accept that we won't always believe the same things and it is inevitably going to be painful :(.

You are an amazing person. And even though your parents don't think you can ever be a "man" you are one. You are a man.. That is what you are and I'm so happy that you are strong enough to stand up to everyone and tell them that is who you are. Everyone else who is afraid to admit the truth to themselves, you give them courage and hope. Even though your parents may not accept you, gradually the world is starting to. And you will get your acceptance from hearts around the world NOW.

Ayden, as a follower of Jesus Christ I want to apologize on behalf of those too blind and too set in their ways to see the amazing human being that you are. God has never himself intended to hurt you or in any way disenfranchise you and I hope you can accept his love for what it is- unconditional. You're an inspiration to many, God bless.

As long as you stick to the latter and dodge the former you'll be fine. So much respect for you putting this out there on youtube - visibility &c. Good luck to you and Kylie, I'm sure you'll have a long and happy life and hopefully adopt some kids to love, you know, unconditionally.

You may have to walk away to achieve your goals n then maybe they will come back... I doubt it but at the end of the day, YOU are the most important person here, just do what you have got to do...

A body doesn't define who you are. I'm a female by gender, I'm a male by mind, and spirit. What makes you a man or woman is who you are inside. Between the ears. It's not the body. The body is just the shell of what's inside, what's inside is what defines who and what we really are. I just hope one day people will see that.

You need to cut these people out of your life. You really need to stop suffering for them. We all choose our families. A great deal of the time our families are those that we are born into. But our families are the people that we love who love us. These people don't love you enough. I'm sorry for the pain they have caused but no deity that loves us would put us through this. Why do people worship something they believe hates? Not me. I'm not interested in such a jerk.

How can someone do this to their kid? They're sitting there crying over how hard it is for them when they're basically rejecting you just because you're living your life how you want to.

I am literally speechless. I cannot imagine having parents who didn't accept me for who I am and this made me want to cry and tell them that no-one chooses to feel the way that they do. You don't choose your skin colour, you don't choose to be straight. So why would people choose being gay, or feeling like they're meant to be the opposite gender? It's just unfair that other people refuse to understand that.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this, but what you did here is just wrong. It's a family business and you should've kept it that way instead of putting it here on YT and ridiculing them. They obviously love you, but can't accept the lifestyle you choose for yourself and that's their right. Your mom was in pain because she feels that she has lost her daughter and your father seems like a typical religious guy who is against homosexuality.

This mindset is why I can't respect religion anymore. It's damaging to be so indoctrinated with ideas that devalue other human beings for being what/who they are.
When people talk about "choice" in sexuality, they think they mean that it's something that can be turned off, but the only real choice in the matter is between hiding who you are from the world and being who you are. Hiding is never the right choice. Unless you're an ax murderer deep down. Suppress that.
