I am a much older heterosexual male. I just think that acceptance and friendship and fellowshipping together with a higher power in your life, is all biased by outright feelings of this what male is and this what a female is and if your born one way, then you are supposed to stay that way and not true or fair to that transgendered person. .

I had to read your post a couple of times to overstand but I agree!!

Parents do come around as you say.

As for me my parents were proud of me for saying it, and beeing strong and they support me.

As for friends, well they either accept it or dont , if they do they care about who you are.

Well thats my tought on that part

Thank you for uploading the video and sharing such a sacret feeling *Sorry if i mispel words*

Much love and luck

I've made my coming out many years ago and been living as a girl quickly after that and I hoped that in time my parents would end up accepting me but they're still neither accepting nor rejecting me. It's a frustrating situation that's not leading anywhere and I'm still living with them. I just hope I'll find a way to leave in the near future.

I have had several "friends" and my father regect me. A few have come around and a few haven't. My mother accepted me from the beginning.

Mine is from work. Being male I was respected and included. Living female I am treated like I other women in our misogynistic corporate culture, ignored and given rote tasks to perform.

[SummerBreeze2009]

I learn so much from listening to you, thanks Aire.

I'm testing the waters right now, trying to come out. My parents are divorced, my mother has told me I will no longer be her child if I go female and my dad thinks he just needs to put me out of my "misery" if I go female, but it is somthing I have to do for myself before I go completely insane. Loved your video, Thankyou

I've seen videos that touched on this subject before, but this is the best of them. When those who love you see the genuine you over time (patience!) they come around. Both my daughters accepted that I felt that I needed to become "me," but it took nearly a year before they accepted me for me (sorry if that's confusing). With time they saw that I was more natural and happy -- & still there for them when they needed me. I cannot state it any better than you already have. Excellent video!

[aire420]

if my video was good your reply was grate. this was wonted to see thank you so much. and i love you. but most of all you love who you are. so cool. <3

[meldenphire]

Thank you so much. I do wish that I'd had the bravery & insight that you possess at your age, though I would also never wish my daughters away; they are too dear to me. I also admire you because I know how difficult patience is, but in the end it heals when impatience, demands, & ultimatums only wound all those involved. All my love, Christina

i think you missed the point of this video. but i wont hold it against  you. :)
