I AM AFRAID OF...

[aidenjschaefer]

You read my mind. Great video.

[MissLeighSays]

This is beyond beautiful. Thank you.

[TheGendervariant]

Thank you so much for this video.

[anarchyXI]

I've recently accepted myself as MTF, and am in the process of getting outta the closet, so I can relate. However, despair not! Here's some lyrics that fits all just too well :)

I can see your true colors shining through.

I can see your true colors, and that's why I love you.

So don't be afraid, to let them show, your true colors .

True colors - Cyndi Lauper

[TheNamelessAccount]

So beautifully said. I feel the same way about so many things you said here.

Thanks you for this. I know I can come out now.

[mickeymouse12678]

What a beautiful and touching video.

I wish you the best.

<3

[Magic44887]

That was amazing man. I just lost my girlfriend in a car accident and seeing this made me regret alot i did before, and when she was here.

[Siddhin]

Thank you for this touching and personal video Aiden. Got lots of respect for you and I am inspired by your strength. I spend days dreaming the greatest dreams about passing and transitioning but I don't know if I can build up the strength to go through with it in the future, the strength to face the pain and the fears.

Thanks again for sharing!

[waterbottle1993]

Wow this video made me cry.... You took the words out of my mouth.... Being transgendered is one of the hardest things and there are so many fears that come along with it... Funny how one video can make you think so much..

[CantTrustAnyone]

OK i am seriously tearing up right now >.>

[DJ88daBEST]

Wow im not FTM but ur video is crazy amazing....some of the sentences i saw in this vid is what ive been thinking of,its partially the reason why i havent had the strenght to start T....good luck in everything you do...peace

[MrTwisted91]

this is incredible

[datdykeNess]

Wow. Dude that was touching. I respect you and all ftms out there. I don't think I'll ever have the courage to follow my heart and forget what everyone else thinks. So I not only respect you, I look up to u. Good luck in your journey Aiden.

[hessoofficial]

[ImTellingMyStory]

[finallydiscoveringme]

Everytime i watch this video i am so moved by it. Thank you for posting it.

[jsweet83]

u are so brave to let us at your weakest and yet your strongest at the same time.

[mariacristinapdx]

same boat, same fears. you are not alone buddy. Everything is gonna be all right.

hugs

[AddYuki]

this is just so great. I feel the same in so many things...thank so much for doing this.

[MrSwank07]

this video makes me cry. Thank you so much for this video and wording the fears you couldnt speak. I am feeling this way at this very moment but i do know one thing...no matter how afraid i am my happiness will overpower my fear. did that make sense? lol im just emotional right now. it helps to know that im not the only one afraid.

[hotblindchick]

Cheghench.... Thank you for posting this, I "shared" it with my 500+ facebook friends. I cried the whole way through the video.... for you, for other trans people... but mainly for my son, who is likely feeling the same way, every day. I love ya!

[SophieHawthorne]

Thank you so much for putting into word the fears so many of us find so hard to express. I'm going to show this video to my Mum who has really struggled to come to terms with my transition. Made me cry too. Good luck to all the other people where ever you are fighting to be yourselves.

[briannarose99]

This video brought me to tears! So any of the exact same thought I once had... and many of them I still do have. 

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!

[ftmichael]

This is beautiful and made me cry. Thank you for putting yourself out there like this.

[venessia22]

Thank you so much for allowing us this peek inside your soul. As the mother of a transgender child myself, I was deeply moved by your honest, insightful video. Beautifully done.

[somekind6ofstranger]

That was beautiful. Well done. It made me cry, anyway :)

[amirell]

So touching and nicely done. Loved it. I can so relate. Simply amazing!

[rainbowalexi]

extremely true and inspirational. loved this.

[MegaMonsterlover]

bravo

[MegaMonsterlover]

very nice

[bellycrunch]

lovely and exciting :) who's music is it?

[geminicar]

For me 2009 has been a year of facing and overcoming my fears. It takes a lot of courage to tell other people what you are afraid of, and you communicated it so well. I could not have done any better. Thank you for saying so much for so many. :)

[izekld]

Great video. Many of us go through this often. I have been there many times. Until we find meaning and purpose in who we are, just as we are. Leading us to peace. I understand now that a bio male has a different journey, and cannot have my life experience which could be richer in some areas. There are pros/cons. We are here for a reason. So through what means do we find the open door. Faith in God, in ourselves and our truth. In the good of the many who value us out th. Every ind is a treasure.

[Sup3rmanDerek]

Awesome video!!! It's like you're psychic and just read my mind. I think everyone, whether they're trans or not can relate to this. Well done!!

[cheghench]

haha its a pretty amazing name! most of us share the same fears and even if we are different videos like this are important bc they bring us together!

[mosaicgraffiti]

[FaileidaExchange]

Me and my trans friend watched the video. It's so touching! I'm a lesbian and I could still feel your pain. It's so brave that you posted this. I want to hug you :)

[cheghench]

[deathbe4birth]

[HeartlessLink7]

Yeah, this made me cry.

Good luck man.

[cheghench]

[FreedomSpeaksTruth]

This made me cry....Im a cornball..yes I know....it just came to me at a uncertain point in my life. Thank you for sharing...for I will share with those I know. =)

[cheghench]

thank you! please do!

[BertPR8]

i am a transgender woman, thinking about the transition, but i dont let my body get in the way of what i want. My wife sees a man when she looks at me (even thou my boobs are huge...that's the only thing i hate). and right now i pass as a guy all the time (i really dont understand why, but it is like that, MAYBE IS MY ATTITUDE).

SO DONT BE AFRAID. YOUR ATTITUDE WILL TAKE YOU WHERE YOU THINK YOUR BODY CAN'T. HAVE A GREAT LIFE!!!!! :)

[cheghench]

thank you soo much! and good luck with your transition as well!

[FreeingParker]

@BertPR8 Do you mean transgender man?

[BertPR8]

those are things that everybody is afraid of at one time or the other...we all have something to loose at some point, but the most important thing is that no matter what, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. Is hard sometimes

; complicated sometimes. but that is the challenge; TO EVENTUALLY LOOK BACK AND SAY "AGAINST ALL ODDS, I DID IT FOR ME"

[cheghench]

wow tht is soo true!

[exjetset]

i'm crying like a baby to your video.

even if you don't know me and i'll never know you more than through this video, i really hope everything will finally be alright. <3

[TheHuentel]

Exjetset: Wow, thats one of the nicest comments I've seen on here!

[cheghench]

aww tht was so nice! thank you!

~AJ~

[Edenroc720]

Wow... this touched me deeply.. I came here after watching the beginning of AidenDaniels response, to see what he was responding to, and, well.. it just touched me. I can't relate, no, but I can sympathize and let you know that there are some of us out here who are on your side,and are holding good thoughts for you during this trying time. Hang in there. You have alot of support here on YT within the transgender community. Blessings, Aiden!

[Mr1S1K]

Aiden, bro, you took the words right out of my head

[cheghench]

haha thanx man, i try, itry =] lol

[JLee0719]

Hey Aiden, I'm the other Aiden's girlfriend and I am impressed, you really got my boyfriend to open up and trust me THAT IS NOT AN EASY TASK! lol so I commend you for your courage and your honesty and thank you for reaching out. All the best with your transition!!

~Jenilee

[cheghench]

Hey Jenilee, im glad i could help aiden to open uo, you two really are such an amazing power couple! i watch your videos often & thank you for watchung my own! we are all one big family here on youtube & we need to stick together! Thanx For Everything.

~AJ~

[hipsterp]

Hey, man...Aiden (the other aiden who responded to this vid) said he was 25 and admired you for having the balls to speak up about who you are...I'm 33...and, man, do I wish I would have at your age. You just know this - you can have the life you want...and it will be more than you ever imagined. The best to you, man.

[cheghench]

thanx man, yea i did get lucky to know and accept who i was at such a young age! i also got lucky to have a family who i knew would be pretty easy and to know myself enough to know no matter what thy said i would go through with it all anyway. i hope even at such a young age i can still help as many ppl as possible!

[Mr007Punk]

Wow dude, that was awesome. You are wise beyond your years!

[cheghench]

thanx man! i really tried to make something tht would touch as many people as possible!

[AidenDanielLIVE]

thats exactly the point i was trying to make. isn't he amazing??

[cheghench]

haha wow i really love you guys! haha... im uploading a new video right now, its similar to this & aiden inspired me. check it out

[cheghench]

yes that is deff a very true fact! im trying very hard to not hide my feelings anymore, it sems to of helped mor people when i hide less so i will do my best to stick with this new way

[maf1214]

i just watched this and cried. Not just because of the song but also because I too am afraid of some of the things you put on here.

You are not alone....and because of guys like you putting these videos up here-I know that I am not either.

[cheghench]

thank you, i picked the song because it sems perfect for alot of my videos! its a perfect song for us transmen! you are deff not alone! and im happy because im slowly learning that i am not either.

[duhheidi]

This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and remember, you are never alone. Even the bravest person is afraid at some point <3

[cheghench]

Thank you, i am really happy tht you watched the video and that it found its way to be something special in itself for you! =]

ik that everyone is afraid at some point but i am horrible at showing it, id usually rather be fake and strong than weak and truthful =[

[duhheidi]

I'm the same way in the sense that I'd rather hide how I feel and my fears and appear strong rather than show my weaknesses, which is why it hit close to home. Anyway, thanks again!

[cheghench]

no problem, keep watching and agn i am so happy tht my video helped you in whatever way possible

[sillyyetsuccinct]

You have no idea how much I needed to see this today. It was perfect.

I just moved to a new town. I received a horrible letter from my grandpa about how much I'm hurting my family and how I'm going to die alone. I went into town to meet new friends and go to a club to forget about. And was humiliated by the doormen. They wouldn't let me in with my ID's. They thought it was a hilarious joke. Today I filed a police report and broke down in front of the investigator.

I needed this video.

[cheghench]

wow i recieved this comment the moment you posted it and it took till now to be able to think of a response worthy of ur amazing comment! i am soo sorry that you had to go through something so horrible! i am very happy that my video helped you in whichever way that it found its way into your heart, remember that you are a strong powerful man and

[cheghench]

no one should be able to break through that, SCREW THE WORLD all tht matters is who you are! =] ik its hard to believe tht but you are greater then u let others give u credit for.

AJ

[yulan1987]

Great video. A lot of your fears are very familiar to me. This really touched me. Thank you for sharing!

[cheghench]

n problem man! my videos are out there to see if i can touch people in a similar situation in a deeper way, im glad it helped!
