I haven't came out too anyone but my friend who is transgender. And if I told my dad, he'd never talk to me again. Fact. He hates lesbian and gay people, and transgender people. You're an amazing dad. Keep it up!
@enVme223 See my later video, "Transgender advice: coming out to parents", where I quote my son's advice about how to get parents on board with what you've realized. (It worked on me, I guess.)
I am so happy that there are parents like you. I only wish my father was accepting like you. I am just... I could get emotional. You are a fantastic father, not just for accepting your son, but being so supportive, involved, and going out of your way to brag on him only being himself. Bless you.
When I saw this video on my homepage, The tittle impacted me. After watching it I couldn't feel much happier. And I bet your son Peter is happy too. You're an amazing father and a great example. (: And it's good to hear your son is doing well.
sir, i have to tell you this video is incredible. i am so happy for your son, peter. you are an amazing supportive father. it makes me so sad my family can't accept me like you accept your son for who he is. most of us face rejection by our families, but peter is so fortunate to have a father like you. i'll be honest, being on testosterone for over a year makes it really hard for me to cry, but watching this made me tear up. thank you for putting this out there.
@ShaneAlan78 I've been on testosterone for 48 years, and I still tear up when I watch or read some of the bittersweet stories posted by transfolk. I'm sure this is not a path anyone would choose to take, but the supportive community can make it a beautiful place to be sometimes, in spite of the difficulties.
Wow you are amazing sir. I never imagined a father bragging about his FTM son. You are so incredible. I wish there were more people out there like you.
@SkinninMacKinnon I should have asked you 5 months ago what your dad thought of this video. You know if he wants to get in touch by email or phone to talk about our kids, you can drop me a private message and I'll give you contact info.
@danicaine10 If it is odd to thank strangers, well then we're in this together. My first vlog on youtube was to thank the guys on itsTtime2010 for telling their stories. So you're welcome!
You are undoubtedly the greatest parent to ever walk this planet.
I have the strangest urge to tell you I love you. In a non weird way, of course.

@LizzieA03 I kind-of think there are lots of accepting parents out here, just not so many comfortable with admitting it yet on YouTube.

You are so wonderful! It is so great to see that there are accepting parents out there.

This is such a great video.
I really wanted to go to Knox. After learning about that housing option I'm really sad I didn't.

@iagoarchangel University of North Texas. It's really LGBT-friendly, though, despite being in Texas.
