It is good to see your success, and that you are able to be and do the things you know are good for your soul. I hope nothing ever hinders you from your future dreams and that they continue on this successful path acquired so far. Thank you for sharing your footsteps to this point and your planned ones ahead of you. It is a true pick-me-up.
@turtium Thank you for your comment. "This point" of the video is actually a few years ago now. Currently, I'm completing my master's degree with my thesis on this very topic, actually. I'm writing about classically trained FTM dancers. I'm applying to PhD programs as well to further the same research. I honestly did not see that coming, and this video is a cute foreshadowing of my current research interests. :)
Totally inspiring Cole!! I LOVE the connection you make with Michael finding his identity as a male dancer and gender non-conformity in Billy Elliot (I love the film too!)... and I think you are spot on about how to dance you need to be present in your body. as a counsellor I have a strong drawing to body psychotherapy where emotional memory is felt to be located in the body and through developing a growing self-awareness and presence in my own body I can more feel being me. Thank you!

I am amazed at how you look. I can't believe you were ever female! Is this done with hormones? Just curious. Good luck to you !

@cillajeanluvmayn Yes. FTM transgender is extremely common, and physical transition includes taking testosterone.
