Transgender Children

[DaFawky]

Im transgender & I knew ever since I was 4.

You are right that most kids are just playing around, but with transgender people like me, we were different than those kids.

Ive always had discomfort with my physical sex. Enjoying the stereotypical "girly" things just came along with that, like most girls.

When I first had to change in front of boys at 7 years old at a camp, I felt violated and was traumatized cuz I felt I should've been changing with the girls, even when i was told i was a boy lol

[fireflygirl246]

When I transitioned latter in life I know a 5 year old kid, We explained to her what was going to happen, but in a way she would understand. We just told her I was not going to be a boy anymore and be a girl, her responce was "ok". You can explain it in a way the kids will understand. asking them if you like prending to be a girl is a good question that might indcate you may need to talk to a profinal, even out and out asking do you want to be a girl, they will just answer honestly and not care

[fireflygirl246]

Im trans and I know when I was in kindergarden that I was suppost to be a girl, but because I was a shy kid and the teachers keep telling me, that boys don't play girl games and with girl toys, I learned at that age that people would not accept me. I wanted to please the so much I went into the closet, I KNEW when I was five its one of my earlist memories. I respect your opinion that we can't know, im telling you from experinece we do. IDK about 2 but at a very young age we know.

[tonkanamagarcu]

oh yes they do...a lot of trans kids know from their early age they are different and there's something wrong,that their body doesn't match with their brain...that's just the way it is.

and about gay people...we'll i can't tell if they are born gay or not,but just like transgender people,it's not a matter of choice...you don't choose to be gay or trans,it's just the way you are born,some of them realize it from the very start,most of them try to hide it and live a lie.

[boat252]

did i say dumb head i meant dumbass

[boat252]

Yeah sexuality not sexual orientation two different things you dumbhead

[boat252]

You can't be born GAY ITS A CHOICE FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. I know some girls that are lesbians which some of those girls are who I loved which disappointed considering they're a lesbian. I am a heterosexual male making this comment

[DaFawky]

@boat252 its not a choice. Being gay is not a voluntary action, it's an attraction. Just like you don't "choose" to be attracted to women, it comes naturally. You don't "Choose" to like the smell of bacon do you? It's not a conscious thing at all, it's just an existence

[tobama08]

Epitomize is the wrong word...

YOU PERSONIFY STUPIDITY!!!

[SnerdWilliams]

Another happy and satisfied customer...

Comparing human identity to hampsters??? Yeah KEEP apologizing!!! Cause you are a DUFUS!!! OMG... I am totally embarassed for you. You are just so damn ignorant!!!! DELETE YOUR ASSININE VIDEO!!!! and learn about YOURSELF you IDIOT!!!

[trenton74834]

you dont know what you are talking about i think a child knows at 3 or 5 its just knowing and if you have had freeing for a guy give it to him and i lost my virginity at 20 and my mom loves my no matter what i am

[pilomaya2012]

i think this is a massive area of transgender that has to come out! is not the same as being gay! its actually the same as a disability. if you are born with the wrong gentials you get it fixed same as if you have toomany toes or a deformed face -you get it fixed and live a better life after! i am not transgender i used to be before i got it fixed! simple!

[youtuba87]

I think what we need to say here is that gender is overrated thing!

[sheyda212]

who is she?

[pilomaya2012]

in america it seems people thinks transgender is the same as being gay? it is not at all.

[SpySlowhands]

America is a repressed country when it comes to this stuff. YouTube that girl "Jazz". She's a perfect scientific example of a person with more Y chromozones than X's (male), but was born with a penis. It's science. It happens. And it's been studied with animals. In the womb the egg starts to go one way, but then ends up another way.

Most transgendered people knew at a very young age what sex they are, and self-identification is the key, and it's the thing that we have to honor.

[pilomaya2012]

you couldnt of said it better. i told a child psycologist in school at age 5 that i was a girl! i transitioned in my tens and had surgery then , never looked back! i later found out that my teenage mother took the contraceptive pill for the first 3 months of her pregancy with me.its called progestil virilisation syndrome. i am going to have cromozone tests as a result . see what happens?

[nekoboi17]

First off, nice vid. Being Trans, I can only say that I knew I was a boy when I was around 4. At 4 I told everyone I was a boy, but no one believed me, & I was dubbed tomboy. By age 4-5, you've seen gender roles all around you forever and you start mimicking them. While many children do show gender variant behavior, trans kids identify with the gender role their mimicing, other kids are already established in their identity and aren't forced to pretend to be something their not.

[mynamekeisha]

A few comments. First off, nice vid. Second off, i think its a VERY HUGE danger to label a CHILD as transgender and lead them down that road. Now that im almost 23 y/o and AM transgendered, i wish someone would have led me down the road at age 2 so I could grow up properly, but not all of these so called "transgendered children" grow up to be transgendered.. so its just confusion or imagination. Age 2, i didnt know i was transgendered for obv reasons, however i did infact think i was a boy.

[mynamekeisha]

I dont think god DID it. God doesnt MAKE handicap people, he doesnt WANT people to suffer. Many handicap people are taught "youre special, god made you this way" but its just something to make the handicap easier on everyone. As the bible portrays, jesus went around and HEALED all those who were sick and afflicted. If God wanted them to be this way, Jesus would not have healed them. With transgenderism the neuren number is in limbic nucleus. God didnt MAKE people this way, its an F up. im FTM.

[1andonlyDEl]

*sigh* sexuality is a gray area. The way one realizes who they are sexually is different for each and every individual, so could people stop trying to box each other off and respect one another.

[SnerdWilliams]

I completely agree. If I was misunderstood in the video, I'm sorry.

[sammyheww]

well im a trans woman myself...and i certainly remember at the age of 4/5 knowing that i was different to the rest of the "boys" in my class and as for gender identity has nothing at all to do with sexuality...thats 2 different things all together. i personally know Trans women who find male people attractive but at the same time i also know trans women who find women attractive.

[jlenaghan]

I do not think kids are born gay, its all hoopla created by the liberal media and this is coming from a man who is gay. I had both hetero and homosexual feelings when I was young like MANY young men. All these studies are so fucking stupid, they have done them so many times and most of them are bullshit! Hamster for suck sake! There are countless people who are straight their whole lives but like the same sex later in life. Yes you should get some evidence.

[quietlymocking]

You should watch the 20/20 special on transgender children. There are some kids who are profiled who definitely know when they're, like, two years old. It's incredible. And I think you'll find it fascinating.

[Eviash]

Lol but just let me people be what they are why try to finde out an answer you will never finde it just learn to accept the diversity that God as created .

[Fieldofaware]

You are an idiot. Gay has nothing to do with transgender,

[austlid87]

You're 100% right...'gay has nothing with transgender'. But you should be less hard on the guy as he is trying to understand the concept. It's a hard thing for many people to grasp. As for tg children, Snerd said it right-"Just love your children for what they are".

[stardaisy23]

everything you said pretty much shows you don't know too much about the topic. maybe, you should do a little more research in your spare time before posting videos about things you know little about.

[SnerdWilliams]

You are correct that I know only a little about this subject. I was only offering my opinion and I based that on what I knew.

[stardaisy23]

In that case, I'm sorry if I sounded a little offensive, it's not really your fault if you don't know alot about it, transgender people don't have alot of rights and are highly discriminated against, it's a real psychological condition and there is a ton of information on it, but society and the media choose to sweep it under the rug and ignore it keeping it taboo.

[SnerdWilliams]

Oh, I completely agree. I hope that by making this video, I've done my part to keep it from remaining taboo. Ideally, this video has made people do some research.

[stardaisy23]

transgender isn't genetic but You are born transgender and know at a young age, Just as you* couldn't explain and go into detail how you identify as male at a young age, transgender children can't explain and go into detail yet KNOW* they Identify as the oppisit sex and will express it, showing discomfortable in their given gender roles as you would if you forced to live as the oppisite sex you don't identify with.

[stardaisy23]

1st of all, Gay and transgender are 2 different things, gay is a sexual oriantation, transgender is about GENDER* expression. a transgender can be gay, straight or bi.

[SnerdWilliams]

Wait... Is that genuine or is that sarcasm? It's so hard to tell with text.

Either way: Well played.

[SnerdWilliams]

I thought I did both things.

I said love your children unconditionally. And, yes, that is the focus of the entire video. I just wanted to point out how evil it is to put conditions of the love of your children.

I agree that I should've just made this video into "Just love your child. The End," but I wanted to explain myself.

Thanks for the comment.

[That80sGuy1972]

Here are some fun facts.

1. Most transvestites are straight... are not drag queens.

2. Sexual predisposition does not guarentee sexuality. Nurture does play a bigger part.

If it wasn't for my dad, I would be a "flaming fairy." Now I am a mostly butch fella who preferes the ladies.

"I was born gay"... what a cop-out. So was I. Now I'm mostly straight.

[SnerdWilliams]

I believe there is a difference between "transgender" and "transvestite." If I'm mistaken, I'd appreciate the correction.

[That80sGuy1972]

You are correct. Most people blur the lines. Some people blame the "sickness" of homosexuality on the kid behaving like a member of the opposite sex. I was not disagreeing with you. I was commenting against popular beliefs.

[HappyGav89]

I knew at age 3.

[SnerdWilliams]

I'm not saying it wasn't manifest, but you couldn't have KNOWN about it. You wouldn't have had a concept of it. Looking back, it might be obvious to you now, but I really don't think children can grasp gender issues. That's why almost every little boy goes "Ew" when someone mentions girls. Certainly not every boy that does that has gender issues.

[nofreechange]

Interesting.

[SnerdWilliams]

You know what, goddamn it?!? This video isn't about how one race raises a fucking child. This is about children. The only way parenting is brought into this is by saying that parents, regardless of their race, should love their children.

You know what else? Discussion about race and parenting would be a great topic... *drum roll*... for your own, separate videos. People would watch them.

[SnerdWilliams]

I'm deleting ALL of the comments about race and parenting now. If you REALLY must continue this discussion do so either privately or via videos.

[skywolf1969]

2 words bonobo ape

gayest primate ever

and i mean FABULUS

XD seriosly though i know a gay dude he was nice{btw braveheart wore a kilt XD}

[pypermarru1]

Snerd, I think you should seriously consider a job in talk radio. I would tune in to your show. "Snerd in the morning" or "Snipets with Snerd". Each video you impress me more and more. Bottom-line, unconditional is just that. She is afraid of what others will say, so she would censor her childs desires to satisfy her standing. Children do not choose to be THAT different. Quite the opposite. Luv ya snerd.

[SnerdWilliams]

I've been kicking an idea around for an internet radio show. If I could get the money, I definitely would and I'd have some of the people I know including you and nadia on if you'd go.

[SnerdWilliams]

Exactly... 'cept for the sign thing... but other than that...

lol

[nadiaTeeze]

You shouldn't label them.. but you should totally put a big sign on them. Does a 2 year old understand gender roles?

great message. Just love the kid.

don't forget she doesn't know if the world is flat or not.
