Wait, what's this thing about boots?? O_o I have heard most of these things before (mainly from people at the GIC that I attend).... but boots? Seriously?? That has to be a new low for this kind of prejudice.
My favourite was "I take pride in being trans". Trans stories are so formulaic, like "I just want to be a normal boy/girl!" It's like being trans is degrading.
And is there really "peer pressure" to be trans? Really? Not where I come from. Being trans can be a living hell (fortunately for some people it's not, like the one who made this video), so I can't imagine anyone choosing such a difficult path. It's not a choice to begin with, ask yourself if you chose your gender. I believe the answer is no.
I'm sick of people saying that you shouldn't "want to be male" (for the record, we don't "want to be men", we ARE men) because there's nothing wrong with being a woman. These people obviously have no idea what it is like being trans. Of course there is nothing wrong with being a woman, but you can't help it if you simply are not one. Fighting the oppression of women is a worthy cause, but one shouldn't have to fight their gender identity because of it. You can be a man and a feminist - I am.
Why do you need to be accepted as "trans" to begin with?
What is wrong with being female? What is wrong with accepting your biology?
You do not have to reject your biology to reject oppressive sex roles!
We can be female and reject patriarchal roles, which are designed for the purpose of oppressing women. Who wants to have anything to do with those roles?
Embracing the opposite sex's "role" is just worship of the roles!
and hatred of your own biology, your own beautiful natural body
Great video! The internalized Trans Phobia and judgement from inside the trans community is often more biting than that outside of it. Wonderful commentary! You just being you is the most beautiful thing you can push through the world being. :)
"Boots".. Boots?! I've never heard that one and I'm glad.
Awesome video, might I add. I used to feel weird because I adore girl's clothes, and people didn't help my anxiety - "If you're a guy you wouldn't want to wear that".
Ryan, no one should tell you how you should shape or define your gender identity. I am not trans, so I can't tell you that I understand how you feel, but know that there are people who strongly support all trans folks, preop, post op or no op.
Ok, this isn't what I'm supposed to take from this, but I love your handwriting. It distracted me for a good thirty seconds.
Back on topic, it's a shame there's judgement in the trans community about being "trans enough"... that's like some guy walking up to them and saying they're not "male enough"
You're plenty trans, you're plenty male, and for every single person who says to the contrary, you've got an army of fans and supporters cheering loud enough to drown them out, if you just listen!
I have a friend that is going to college for gender studies. We had a conversation about this and she made it her final project. She did the interview on me yesterday and we talked about this. I discussed with her that we have discrimination for being trans everywhere including within our own community. How people assume we have to be a certain way. She was very glad I said that because the other trans people she interviewed never mentioned it. If I could, I would like to share this with her...
I remember having a hard time being trans because I felt I never fit the description. I don't care for long hair, rocking my hips back and forth, putting on average make up.... or anything that's really femme.
I'm Nikki, and I like gothic clothing. I don't like tuxedos or dresses. I don't want eyebrows, and I preffer being androgynous.
lol every one is tras enough im bat shit crazy only want my exwife ant intarested in any one else like video games smoke drink and do construction work on cars ride motor cycles and guess waht im a girl
No my dear you are the epitome of a Trans person...Someone that will always be seen as trans and treated as such. But take pride in who you are. That's all any of us has.
I think you are very attractive. Its not important what do you wear ;) I don't understand people who are mean to someone that is different then they are. Everybody should be who he is, and be accepted.
I'm from Poland and here anybody that's different will be not accepted (in the most cases) That's very sad in my opinion. I'm BI, and I even can't say that in public if I don't want to be judged :( My closest friends know that.. but my family no.
I'm not trans or lesbian but I really am impressed by this. I'm actually a pastor's daughter and I've always been taught to not "accept" people like you but I disagree. Everybody has feelings and deserve to be treated right. I'm sorry for judging. Although I never bullied anyone because of my perception of them, I still judged and I shouldn't do that. Thanks :) I really appreciate this video and admire you very much <3
Interesting perspective. I think a lot of the messages are not trans related but pertain to stereotypes about masculinity, particularly once guys have started T. There are a lot of ways to be trans and I think sometimes we forget that being trans might be the only thing we have in common with other FTM's. We all have unique personalities and values.
I'm closet-to-most FTM trans. My name is Kris. Gender neutral. I like wearing skirts sometimes. Especially to school(I looks weird in uniform pants). I wear guy-liner, combat boots, and skinny jeans. Am I trans enough for most? No. Am I trans enough for me? Hell yeah.
you should'nt have to do anything you don't feel comfortable with. If people judge you, it's probably becasue they have issues of their own. Who cares about them, just be yourself and ppl will love you
@uhmmidkkk IDK. I think there are a lot more who ID as male but they are less public about it. I am one of them. I was born with transsexualism but I do not associate with the "trans community" or consider myself trans. I view my transsexualism exclusively as a medical condition, a physical birth defect. I don't incorporate this into my identity whatsoever.
@SimplyTehDopest I relate to what you say here. I do not ID as FTM/trans unless it is for research about the community. They use that language to help categorize those who transition so the language is helpful for them to understand biological history.
Oh and I like the color purple, jewelry and even make up. Even when I'm not in a mood to crossdress as female. What does that say about me? -wicked grins-
I perfectly understand this... I'm trigender and have been trying to adjust to it. Apparently because I'm nearly five feet, I have a phobia towards short hair that makes it not possible, I am not on T or Hormone blockers, I have a feminine voice, I don't like correcting pronouns either and I am chatty I'm not masculine enough even in my LBGTQ space. But I am more on the masculine side... All that matters is that you know it and I know it but it is nice when people aren't idiot.
@calledcalvin If you click "see all" on the comments you can find the post that I already responded to that asked the same question. I would copy and paste but it reaches the character limit! sorry! just scroll down all the way. It's in the beginning of the comments.
Awesome video Ryan. Not trans guy wants bottom surgery. And as for the gender binary thing, I agree 100%. Anyone can wear pink or purple. Anyone can wear make up or jewelry. It's not a boy / girl thing. Hope your message gets through to the haters. Stay strong bro! <3
wait are you trying to say "man enough" because a majpority of these most transmen cant say for themselves. like being 5 ft as oppose from 6 ft, how does this make you not trans enough when most trans guys are under 5'8? i feel like some of this was a mixture of not being trans enough and not being "manly" enough
@TransMansable the only one that is about being manly enough that trans people can't say for themselves is the height one but even so I am the shortest trans guy I know and I know a lot of trans guys. I hosted many trans meetups in NYC.
@xQUEERKIDx ohhhh i see, so its like a combination, that particular one. i was very confused hahaha i was like uhm half these dudes are like that same height lol but okay, i dont know why you arent considered trans enough because of these reasons, sounds like jelousy or self hate on their part
@TransMansable yeah most likely. I saw your video about how some lesbians treat trans guys. Someone literally just wrote on this video saying "you could be a lesbian" ... so stupid. It's like the message goes over their heads.
I can relate. Tho Im not trans, some people assume I'm trying to be, because Im 'not female enough'. But Im me and I like how I am. And I like how you are too. Stay true to yourself. You are amazing. Kia kaha.
@indiasaidwhat I didn't try yet because I am still wearing the post-operative vest until Wednesday plus I can't move my arms well enough to play my guitar and I like to sing with instrumentation. I guess I'll try in the next couple weeks, hopefully sooner! I will make a video! I'm sure the breathing is much, much better. It already feels better. =]
Great vid! Yeah people think trans people are supposed to be a stereotype of their chosen gender I guess. I play xbox an I'm a girl and it's fine. But if I were MTF it would not.
I need to change mu wordrobe I Gessing I wear boots pink purple jelery I just got an ex box I need to stop being afraid of public restrooms. And need to start a fight wen people call me she or my both name
I am not a trans - but I am male and I am gay. I wear jewelry and pink and purple, but I am not a girl wanna be. I just like that stuff. Oh I don't wear boots (not my style).
I am me. Ryan! You are you. To stop hate, we need to do just want your message says... stop the judgement. You are 1 of many T's I follow (youth and adults). I read and listen to their stories. I read and listen to yours. It's the only way I can learn how to be supportive of all my GLBTQ brothers & sisters.
Wow, people are stupid. Yeah, guys-- especially musicians-- have never had long hair! :P Just curious, why did you stop hormone blockers? I thought that if you did you risk your chest growing back?
@InYourFaceNewYorker The hormone blockers made me sick and they weren't doing anything because my body already went through puberty so there was nothing for them to "block." My chest won't grow back. Dr. Brownstein said it's impossible. when you have top surgery with him 95% or more of the breast tissue is removed forever. The only way to get a cheast again after top surgery is either get man boobs by gaining weight or by taking massive amounts of estrogen.

@xQUEERKIDx Wow, that's interesting. Why, then, did you think before that the chest would grow back? I remember you saying it was a possibility.

You always hear allot of crap, if youre not stereotype.
Straight people, think im gay all over & Lesbians thinks im fake, cause im "femme" I guess. Or they consider me to be.
What people say to you doesnt mean anything, what matters is what YOU think. after they have said it.
