Hey Gavyn, I'm still pretty new to the youtube community, so I'm still catching up on some of the older vids. I saw your more recent videos and I'm glad things are working out for you. Good luck on the daily vlog thing. I just wanted to comment on this video because I'm going through so many of the same issues right now. It's been a year since I really admitted to myself that I'm trans (and four years since I first started seriously considering it), (continued...)
but even though I've had all that time to think, there are days where I'm just as confused as I was when I started the journey. I was so sure of myself one year ago when I started coming out to people and planning my transition, but since then I've realized things are more complicated than mere appearance and I have to really do a lot of soul searching if I want to be okay with who I am as a person, regardless of the gender I end up with. I wish you all my best. Thanks so much for this video.
Gavyn! I am so glad to see your face. I missed you i this strange, but amazing cyberspace. I really feel you on the whole needing someone who gets this....
I mostly identify as a genderqueer transexual who is not female and just moving towards male, knowing that I'l; never be nor ever want to be entirely male. As far as the whole feminine/masculine thing, I'm neither.....hearts to you.
it makes so much sense that you're feeling overwhelmed and scattered. you came out to yourself as trans recently, right? maybe you need more time to explore how you feel about that, what that means to you, what the right way for you to respond to your transness is. i felt in-between for years and still do, but i came to a point where i knew i was in-between AND male. it took a lot of therapy with a supportive therapist and a lot of soul-searching to know what's right for me. give yourself time.
check out my vids -- we gotsta lot in common! you can be both genderqueer and transgender, and it sounds like you are. embrace that and run with it. i feel like a boy. not man, not woman, not girl...boy. i'm a boy who will never grow up to be a man, and i'm okay with that. i'm having top surgery and a hysterectomy to stop having periods, but no T, because i don't identify as a male. i'm androgynous. post-op i'll resemble my pre-pubescent self, and i'm cool with that, a little androboy....(cont.)
After you have had the complete hysterectomy (overy, uterius, and cervex removal), you will need to take either T or Esterone for your bone health. Some T is converted to Esterone. Esterone is THE drug that prevents bone degeneration. Very small doses of Esterone would do the job.
a complete hysterectomy is removal of the uterus and cervix, which i am having. removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes is a separate procedure called an oophorectomy. due to diseased organs, i may have to have one ovary removed, so remainder of the other ovary would ensure adequate hormone production. no HRT of any kind for me!

Clearly I don't want to live as a girl, so it is automatically complicated. That's part of being trans.

Excellent! I couldn't agree more. I made a vid response if you wanna approve it.
