National Transgender Day Of Remembrance

[Marstonify]

What a bunch plastic cowards

[rep5281]

I am so sick and fucking tired of these ignorant assholes who say that sexuality can be changed. Have they ever been gay, bi, lesbian, or trans?! No, and yet they talk shit about situations they know absolutely nothing about. If sexuality could be changed then I would've changed from a straight man to an asexual. It would've saved me from a lot of eternal trouble with God.

[cstwilli]

There are a lot of people who has change their body and later on they change their mind. You should mention that too.

[summersonset]

I watched a movie tonight called 'xxy' about a hermaphrodite. Good movie, for more info search at imdb(.)com

[summersonset]

xxy of the year 2007, there are more with similar titles.

[9winDuDown9]

So this is what I don't get you guys say being gay can't be changed so we should just give up on criminals cause they are always going to break the laws cause that what they do it can't be changed... IT'S a frame of mind shit, I could compose the most gay, ass grabbing, ball tumbiling, nuts in my mouth thoughts or I can think straight and be happy I can have kids and flourish as a man.

[depfox]

so im guessing you think about having sex with men from time to time but you keep it under crtl?

[9winDuDown9]

Really it is a matter of morality, I would dis-like the fact that when my kids grow up being gay or straight will be secound nature (although a lot of people were saying they are bi, like left and right in highschool)... What if it was alright in soceity to be able to hit somebody in face cause you just don't like them. Its morality. The reason why for many of thousand of years nobody practiced gay or lesbian... has to be a good reason

[depfox]

Homosexuality has been around from the beginning of time it is a natural part of being human. It has been around long b4 Christianity said that being gay is wrong. I would feel very sory for one of your kids if they are born gay. My father couldnt deal with the fact that I was gay and he disowned me. I tried to commit suicide when i was 17 because of people like you sir luckly God had different plans for me. I would only ask that you educate yourself b4 you make judgements on those you dont like

[9winDuDown9]

You can only help yourself, I thought I was little gang banger growing up and thought smoking weed, breaking the law was fun and natural for kids my age my dad absoulutly hated me and said I was punk etc. But what did I do I redeemed my self and made a change for the better and found more acceptence and didn't get jumped all the time. DO you get what I am saying. Its a decision no I won't slander you, or would ever commit a hate crime. When you live your life wrong laws of the earth have ways!

[summersonset]

So you have changed your sexual orientation, 9win?

[scottneumann82]

hey Bryan and Jay you should watch "Boys Don't Cry" with Hillary Swank. its based off a true story about a girl in Nebraska Lincoln none the less!

[depfox]

yes we have seen boys dont cry very powerfull movie

[lovemerawTV]

this is such a great video.

[krayze80]

Hey guys,

I just found you guys on youtube this evening and I have to say, You are definatly a HUGE insperation for MANY gay couples out there! You have a beautiful family andanyone who watches your videos can easily see the love for one another! I just hope that my Fiance (as of sunday) and I get to Marry and have a amazing family like yours! I wish you both all the best and if your ever in NJ, Look us up! Would love to go to dinner sometime! Keep up the Great videos! -Keith from NJ

[depfox]

Thank You I am always up for sushi :O)

[StraightActingGayGuy]

I suspect more people have those types of feelings that society realizes. Gay people often say there are many more gay people than who come out. I am sure the same applies to being transgender.

[BrothaOfficial]

Beautiful!

[debbieomi]

Bryan, you seem more at ease on your own in front of the camera now. Good for you.

Thank you for sharing this. The video that Bananabread did about being transgender lit a fire under my butt to connect with an old friend. We actually got to spend a few days together last month and oh boy, it was great!

She's still Tammy, a bit gray around the edges lol aren't we all though? :-))) I'm gonna give her a call later this evening and tell her thanks for being her. :-D

[rmswanny]

Its transgender, not transgendered.

Just sayin.

[samOFblorx]

Personally, I think a person is only transgender if they want the genitalia of the opposite sex. This stuff about "I'm a woman/man in spirit" is just bunk. You can wear girl/guy clothes and talk in a high/low pitch and still be a man/woman, because gender is biological, not "spiritual".

Btw, is that Star Wars stuff back there? Badass.

[ufo8mykat]

Transgender and transsexual are different.

Gender (or cis-gender) has to do with the social roles attributed to one's genetic sex. Transgender, androgyny, et. al. refer to crossing beyond those boundaries and behaviours that society identifies as typical of the opposite sex.

Transsexuality involves changing the biology that results from one's genes, i.e., surgically.

[samOFblorx]

That's interesting, because I looked up the word transgender and it said: a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex, as a transsexual or habitual cross-dresser.

See, it uses both words interchangeably, so if what you say is true, then the dictionary seems to be confused too.

[ufo8mykat]

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, then. Not much more I can say. I respect your opinion.

[elvickRULES]

Gender Identity. Look it up.

It's real. I'm so tired of the ignorance in the world.

Transgendered people are fantastic and they fascinate me. I've read and watched tons of things about them. I can only imagine how difficult it is.

[samOFblorx]

I know what gender identity is. I'm far from ignorant. People who think they're the opposite sex just because they like high heels or wrestling are more into labels than anyone. I think only the people who want the opposite genitalia are really "born in the wrong body".

P.S.: Saying "trangendered people are fantastic" is a blatant generalization.

[elvickRULES]

Every human is fantastic in their own right. How dare I generalize the human race in a positive light! I should be ashamed and be damned to hell!

Please.

FYI: There is a big difference between those who want to dress like the opposite sex and those who have the gender identity opposite of their physical body.

So it is clear that you do NOT know what it is since you are lumping the very diverse transgendered community into one small group.

You are in fact ignorant.

[samOFblorx]

Yes, how dare you. -_-

You obviously didn't understand what I said. At all. Not even a little.

[samOFblorx]

Great, I get three down-thumbs for demanding logic.

[ufo8mykat]

Wow, I'm all in stitches. I can't tell you how much your support means to me, and to so many people in our community. Thank you for every gift of your time and words, but especially for this one, which I will never forget, especially because the precipitate was having you as friends to come out to. Now, on to equality!

Love,

Sama

P.S. If i ever find a concrete definition that makes sense, you'll be the first to know - but it sounds like you've got it down.

[sassygalady]

Great awareness video.

[lailaagrado]

thank you ,thank you,thank you,thank....i can keep going like that with ages :)

xxxx

[SeanChapin1]

Excellent video - thanks for raising transgender awareness.

[dtsfangirl]

brilliant video guys xxx

[bananabread119]

Ummm... What happend to my comment? Youtube Gerr! haha

Thanks so much for posting this video you guys. I felt so embarrassed. I actually wasnt aware of trans-gender remembrance day. But I recently came out so I'm slowly getting familiar with things. You guys are the sweetest ppl Iv ever known. I know the battles we fight are different. But there the same in a way. We both want to same thing. Equality and Understanding.

Love you guys, emily

[FatElksDieFaster]

thank you for this video

[amb0]

I'm glad you posted this <3 such a big audience as yours should be aware! Thanks so much.

[LindsayStone]

thank you so much for post this video it really means so much to see someone with such a large following to speak up. Much love to ya

[talentguynyc]

Great video.

Bryan, your voice is very soothing. You should put out a meditation tape...I'd buy it!!

[talentguynyc]

Don't put out a meditation TAPE. We don't live in the 80s anymore. Put out a meditation CD or digital file. :)

[ufo8mykat]

Nice catch. ;)

[Justinfhtube]

I didn't know this day exist until now. Great video. Very educational.

[ufo8mykat]

Welcome to it! I hope you find a good reason to celebrate, and someone in your life whom you can honour.

[TransgenderinCali]

Bryan, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Especially since you known me for most of our lives. This day means so much to me as a trans person aa it does for other transpeople. I'm attending my local TDoR and doing all that I can I can for those that we lost this past year. Please, if you can, find your Local TDoR. It's not just for Transpeople. It's for friends, families allies, etc. Let them know we are people too.

Carina.

[swampex]

Awesome stuff like always J&B Have to sayn this is the first time i´m hearing this

[waitingtolive]

On behalf of us all that are still here or gone, Thankyou & your family very very much x x x

[ccm800]

I have quite a few TG friends. I just think of it as a birth defect. The same people who would rally for a person with a correctable defect such as a cleft palette but have such fear and loathing for TGs....I am just recently coming to realize that stupidity is a reality. Not ignorance - Not prejudice, but just dumb. No capacity to think independently or investigate or seek truth. Bless the lost and those who loved them. Let freedom SING

[ccm800]

Is this the only channel you folks have?

[depfox]

Yes? is that good or bad?

[tommy2tone]

Thank You for a educational video.  I never knew there was a day of remembrence for transgender.

[preventionofgayabuse]

Such a wonderful video

[sensoriussupremus]

I, too, was not aware there was a date for this. Thanks for the vid.

[ShellySummers]

Thank you for such a beautiful video.

[Jhaaghon]

I try to keep up on news from all over the LGBTQ community, but I had never even heard of the Day of Remembrance until this. My heart breaks every time I read about an attack on a transperson just for being who they are (or anyone, really, LGBTQ or no).

Thanks again for another enlightening video.

P.S. On a lighter note, Bryan I like your hoodie in this one.

[rainbowpagan]

hey guys I don't know if you know are not but I live with being transgender I feel I was born into the wrong body and I posted a VR about this one of my old videos

[LathanJV36]

I learn something new everytime I watch one of your videos, it is so great to be able to watch something on here and learn something from it. I don't care who you are because I have always looked at people just being another human being no matter what. Great video! Take care and stay safe!

[Eopyk]

May all rest in peace who today for being themselvs.

All love from me Jasmine

[mazajaria]

Thanks for telling me some things I didn't know.

RIP Rita.

[Beau1618]

Lovely video!

xXx~oOo

[mykiskoart]

Thank you for telling me about this important day!!!

God bless you!!!

[KirilleXXI]

Somehow it feels like "transgender" is the next "gay" — these days people become more aware and more accepting of gays, but have no clue about transgendered people, just like most of gay people now have no clue about transgender issues. It's great to see that we are ready to open our minds (and hearts) for those who we don't understand, just like str8 people opened their minds to understand us.

And, Bryan, kudos to you: I have no idea where you get all that time to blog & vlog every day!

[LeonSKennedy828]

Great stuff you guys.

[hazydayz988]

Thanks for making this! I'm genderqueer and happy to see that you're reaching out to the whole LGBTQ community

[Raw8en]

Thank you so much for this video.

[wetterdew]

I just found out a week or two ago that one of my friends is a transgender (she's also gay).

[ufo8mykat]

Wetterdew: how was that for you? Do you have any questions or thoughts?

[wetterdew]

Well, I'm wondering what she meant by saying that she was gay. If she thinks of herself as more of a male in a girl's body, could she have meant that she likes other guys?

Or did she just mean that she likes other girls, even though she thinks of herself as a guy and then would be considered straight? @_@

[ufo8mykat]

Good eye, that's a very common conundrum among transgendered people. "Gay" is generally the male word for homosexuality, where "Lesbian" is the female. In a long-term relationship, one may also identify the same way as one's partner, just for the sake of the other partner's identity. When that relationship is healthy, the label isn't important.

The separation to make is between self-identity and sexual orientation. But that's hir* (his/her) story to tell! :) There's no one answer, afaik

[MMA]

I also had no idea that there was a trans-gendered awareness day. Thanks for the enlightenment. :)

[Thevoicedwoman]

touching.. very beautiful!

[Flanole]

LIkely many I was clueless about transgender people. After seeing the movie TransAmerica and several documentary productions on Logo and Here networks, I realized the heroic life these good peole must follow. Makes coming out as gay seem like a walk in the park...although I know for the individual it is hard no matter what issues we must deal with. Thank you for making us all aware of our fellow human beings.

[Margjelo]

I really respect you for raising public awareness on issues that many people know extremely little about therefore prejudge. I for once had no idea that there was a Transgender day of remembrance. Your family is sooo cute, and the videos you post show to people how important it is to see that different is by no means less respectful. Thank you for the work you're doing! Regards from Kosovo!

[pushshapes]

Great Presentation.

Not to get off subject, but that is the most Star Wars stuff I have ever seen in one place! You must be HUGE fans.

[depfox]

you aint seen nothing yet!

[swampex]

You should check the I like videos

[phantomsluva]

Beautiful and melancholy!

Good job Bryan!

And by the way you never ramble. :P

[huebear]
