Transgeneration- It's hard to admit you are a transsexual

[Marco77863]

Awesome! Make more videos... Check out my channel please :)

[xLunaTransgenderGurl]

Shes beautiful

[gajahlepass]

ohhhh .. I am so happy.. I hope you guys all the way to get married... very good story.

[GrapeJamAndFish]

How could you not know? he/she/it isn't remotely convincing

[kcbelz]

damn it, he should have asked Raci directly instead of asking other people.

[brecrady777]

@bisman85 thats a tarrable thing to say. :( im trans and im 17. you dont realize how much hardship we go though...but it makes us that much more in the end.

[Zoink555]

Lots of people will love you anyway :)

[Yceciclecicle]

this is my school Cal State LA

[Timthethespian89]

Gah! Stop hitting your ring on the desk!!

[oODarkEnergyOo]

Wait a second. Enough of this "people just don't understand what it's like" crap ... Does the word empathy mean anything to anyone? It's not difficult to put yourself into others' shoes based on a set of circumstances. Sure, you can't FEEL what THEY feel but if you delve deep enough, you can identify with the emotions involved.

[rayfan9876]

@oODarkEnergyOo That is true for only a small portion of people. Probably 99% of people can't delve that deep, because it really, really takes a close experience with the person affected or ripping up layers and layers of "I'm spectating" and a lot of will to fully put yourself in someone else's shoes.

[rayfan9876]

@rayfan9876 I never knew the true meaning of "Standing in someone else's shoes" until my friend got raped to the point where she almost died. That is the first time I was able to positively say "I know what you're feeling," because we cried together and thought the same things at that point, not just saying "I know how you feel" and only at a medium level feeling the emotions as if it applied to someone else but not directly to yourself.

[TheEscapedBalloon]

I can't say it's hard to come out about being trans.. It's just hard to talk about, since people don't understand it and it's such a touchy subject.

[DutchJake]

Came out to my GP yesterday and YES it really is hard. For me that might've been even harder than coming out to my mom.

[charlenemonique1]

L think that only her fore head maybe giving her away a bit.I dont know what caused her friends question it.Other than her fore head,xhe seems to pass to me.

[annuna]

He says he's cool with it but I don't know, that smile he makes for a split second at 3:19 looks rather fake. I mean, of course he's going to say that he's cool with it on a public television broadcast, and even to her face for that matter. It just seems to me like he's not totally accepting of her being a transsexual. Does anyone else get that vibe or is it just me?

[TheArizonaGurl]

@annuna Yea, kind of...but I mean u have to give him a break...I mean he probably heard rumors, and wasn't sure if she was or not....and so he probably is a bit shocked, and maybe a bit embarrassed to be infront of a camera with an awkward convo about her being transgendered...But I lso get the feeling he won't be rude, or h8tful towards her either....

[kanserstyx]

i love that smile at 3:18!

[slimdudeDJC]

If she was ugly, I probably would have complained. But she was FINE!!!! Hey, let's practice our scenes again... . . . ;-0)

[AssAlot89]

you should see her now, her face is 100% female. mighty damn fine

[TheArizonaGurl]

@AssAlot89 Wat do u mean? Have u been to a website or watched something that has given u a update as to wat is goin' on in their lives now?

[gummiart]

I applaud her bravery and his compassion. It takes a lot of courage for her to share this with him, and with us. He is showing maturity for his action in return. I am adding this to my collection of favorite youtube videos.

[cjjaxxon]

Very good video. I can see it took a lot and Scott was overstanding but that was because he kinda had a heads up on the situation. If he hadna known I would guess his reaction would still be the same.

[zombiekiller2045]

I fucking hope doesn't decide to take this vid down like they've been doing to all the other transgender/crossdressing vids with even a trace of decency and that aren't near-porn shit.

[boxergirl84]

Oh please, i've seen naturally born females with bigger heads then that and they was good looking chicks, just head big heads.

[Hazey1215]

She is so brave and so beautiful.....coming out like that must take some guts!

[stoleninfo]

it sure doesn't require a penis

[jesscaralsen]

yeah no need to show her any human decency...why don't you go take out your homo/transphobia on your kids or your girlfriend.

[Janelle2043]

@Hazey1215 You have NO idea how much guts that must have taken. They say that courage is being afraid & doing what needs done anyway.

[Cloverleaf1970]

ok hes deep down GAY!

[HA6NIW]

bad bad bad

[shayeeX]

Brave girl...

[Jeremybeach]

she is so prettyyyyy :)

[stoleninfo]

scott IS a cutey pie

if he would maybe grow his hair out

stop lifing weights,etc.

[slimdudeDJC]

I don't think so. I think if he was truly turned off by it, he wouldn't have been on camera over the issue. He has to know everyone is going to see this.

[thizz1127]

SHE GO BIG BALLS...........LITERALY

[quebicboy]

she's a girl with a dick

[Ch1y0k0u]

He is so nice, and she is so pretty. Oh wauw, this is awesome and sosososso cute :] lawl

[Smile4me02]

lol why the hell was this recommended to me?

[jakejake1016]

wow most people end up lookin like freaks besides her voice shes fine

[chibbistar]

I actually met her through a friend of mine at CalStateLA [where i went to college].. my friend was also hard of hearing.. she's a nice girl and i totally could not tell that she was transgendered til my friend told me..

[Maymona13]

Raci Hot and very brave.

[pascalleviolet]

shes lucky to look so good

[adrina911]

Do any of the cast raci,gabbie,tj or luke do any of them have a myspace page.If you know please let me know. I have a myspace page and I have question. So let me know!

[tigergold999]

She's attractive enough. Just needs to work on a more feminine sounding voice.

[Raveonkids]

Yuck.

[buggeazy]

well atleas she told him befor they had sex might have still had sex afterwards she talks like she has down syndrom

[BigFishLittleFish6]

Give her a break...she can't hear well. She talks with a deaf voice, yes, but it's a female sounding deaf voice.

[Xandrad]

YAY! RACI <3!! She's so sweet!

[LayLow66]

people should always keep an open mind. being hateful is just like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.

[lilswede98]

is she an ftm or an mtf?

[asiangirldd]

Mtf.

[AlexaKybalion]

@lilswede98 are you serious?

[Dwazedas]

That was brave ... respect!

[Xtian913]

I love how people come to videos like this and write hateful things. My question is... if you hate these type of people so much, WHY are you looking up videos about them?

[WurdBendur]

They're called trolls. Leave them alone. Don't feed them and they'll go away.

[raymondehmer]

shes beautiful

[Eirra15]

That was really brave of her to come out; I came out once about my gender identity, and that was hard enough. And I was just coming out to a friend, not a lover. I wish I had her courage. :-\

[pascalleviolet]

you should tell something on private not on tv

life is not jerry springer

[asiangirldd]

This is not jerry springer.

[jenjenmuzzy]

I'm actually going though my transition myself (albeit slowly) and i'm telling all thoses who dont understand, it does take alot of courage to get properly started

[hotbooty11]

I just watched this documentary last night and it is called transgeneration Not the third sex like someone here mentioned!! and this girl was one hella smart straight A University student just like mine not to mention we have another thing in common n that is being freakin sexy lol....all of the trans were great eventhough the rich white chick in colorado state university seemed to be very wierd and selfish! but thats cool many people like us lived rerally tough lives

[tyraMenendez]

she's not deaf, she's very hearing impaired. she has some of those super hearing aids that cost like 5 grand a piece. i've seen her on something else, where that was explained. it was a documentary on hbo, or something, called "the third sex: redefining he and she". it was narrated by gore vadal and touched on the gwen arujo murder.

[youngdiaperguy]

I don't know how anyone could not have understood that she was deaf. Her voice is a bit deeper because of being transgendered, yes, but it also has this other deeper quality... there's not really a proper way to explain it. The closest way I can describe it is being sort of multi-toned, or having it's own kind of "echo." Maybe the word I'm looking for is "hollow"... I can't decide.

[emptybeaches]

Holy sh*t, this girl has the most annoying fkin voice, she sounds retarded. I couldn't talk to her for more than 3 seconds without hearing her mumbling retarded sounding yapper

[bigeyearts]

i think shes deaf, that might explain the subtitles

[asiangirldd]

She is.

[SumireIsrafel]

I like her voice. Doesn't really sound strange to me...maybe because I have deaf friends..? I don't know. It's pretty though.

[LatentLove]

You're full of shit, you just don't want to admit that she "was" male on the outside at one point. So you say "omg totaly looks like a guy" yeah okay, w/e you say.

[asiangirldd]

She is not pretending to be a woman.

[RosaGrayEyes]

It is very bad for transgender people's safty also because I know of this one transgender being killed for pretending to be a woman with this guy and I know they don't want that.

[putuontheposter]

and it is very bad for people to play like something they're not and deceive people lol

[christineglamazon]

It's not a matter of "pretending" to be anything. If you were born with bad eyesight and eventually had laser surgery to correct your vision, would you be "pretending" to have good eyesight after the operation? Of course, some people say that example is invalid but that's because so many people are freaked out about sex and gender. They should examine Why they're freaked out.

[RosaGrayEyes]

That example did not make sense because men are not born women so for men to tell people they are biologically a woman knowing you are not is pretending to be something they are not and what they want to be.Freaked out?No not at all.If it is not pretending then why are many men who wish they were born women taking birth control pills?They are gay not stupid, they know they can't get pregnant they do it to pretend they are something they want to be:a woman. That's called pretending.

[christineglamazon]

All fetuses start as female. Transsexualism is a birth defect that makes our brains more like women's, which is about biology. Saying that we're gay, or that our taking estrogen is related to pregnancy, shows you don't understand. Watch my American Transsexual Girl video if you want to learn something.

[RosaGrayEyes]

Come on christine,transgenger men don't take estrogen because they have no choice,they take it because they WANT that physical femininity to match thier natural feminine mindset.Using the "that all fetuses girls"thing is the same as saying nature went wrong as to why there are human males and that shows you are in denial.That is the process of making male. All I am saying is why deny that it is a physical preference that you chose to go with your charcter?

[christineglamazon]

Why do *you* deny that for many transsexual WOMEN, it is a choice between suicide and changing our bodies. You are judging lives and feelings you haven't a clue about. That's like say gay people "choose" to be gay. Watch my American Transsexual and How It Turned It Around videos and hopefully you'll start to understand.

[RosaGrayEyes]

How am I judging you?Did I ever say it was a bad thing?No.Did I ever call you out your name or disrespect you?No.All I was saying was transgenders should NOT wait untill AFTER they are intimate with a man who doesn't know they aren't women to tell them.Many men will NOT be as nice as the guy in this video.I personally know that.One of the nicest people one could EVER meet was killed for that.

[christineglamazon]

I think I hear what you're saying, but I reject your notion that I'm a man because I wasn't born the same kind of woman that you were. Life is not all black and white; nature has too many variations to fit into our narrow definitions. I do agree that a transsexual woman should probably tell her partners, but I disagree she should say "I'm a man" because that is not the truth.

[asiangirldd]

Right on, we are not men and we will never consider ourselves to be men, get used to it.

[RosaGrayEyes]

asiangirldd,

Calm down, with ALL these people in the world you can't expect everyone to have the same views on things so YOU get used to it.I already said she is NOT a man so you can bring that attitude down now.

[RosaGrayEyes]

"I do agree that transsexual woman should probably tell her partners.."

Yeah,that was my only issue.For one to be transsexual was NEVER the issue for me.You are who you are.I only wanted to address how important it is for transsexuals to tell thier partners before hand that's all.Oh,and your not a man.

[hotbooty11]

Go gurl christineglamazon tell it just like it is!! Darlin some people are just fukin ignorant and no matter how u explain they are callin us men...

[RosaGrayEyes]

"hot booty11": Are you referring your comment "some people are just fukin ignorant" about me?

[badone112002]

Gender identity is like you as a male looking in the mirror but seeing a female body. It doesn't make sense. Social interactions are disturbing to be perceived as female. I agree trans people should just be honest of who they are even if it is hard

[terrajade16]

please, that bitch is filippina...

[paige123]

Bojour she is not a filipina

[Dep383]

I like soooo many am in luv with Raci. She is everyman's dream. To come home to someone as beautiful and honest as Raci. She is who we all would like to spend the rest of lives with. To me Raci is as close as you can get to perfection....Luv ya Raci,Joe

[Shpants9710]

raci is fuckin beauuuuuuuuutiful

[bonjour15]

wow! its raci and her crazy filipino accent..

[asiangirldd]

Raci's boyfriend is another guy, not this guy, just so everyone knows.

[NikkiSavella]

I LOVE HIM! Raci is so lucky that she has an understanding Partner! ^_^

[TonberryFlasher]

aww, this reminds me of how hard it was to come out to my parents, you stammer and waffle for what seems like forever and its really hard to get to the point, and by the time you do its never as bad as you thought it would be. you are really lucky to have a great guy like him, but you deserve it :)

[TheSkankRepublic]

good on you sister, its getting easier for tgals to be honest. people accuse us of being dishonest but sometimes the alternative can be just as bad. Kinda ya damned if ya do and ya damned if ya dont. Me I choose to be out about my transsexuality. I feel better that way. However I respect peoples decision to remain stealth as long as your partner knows.

[gothfweak]

aww.... thats soo sweet...

[kaoripowder]

You are so pretty! >w<  Glad to know you didn't have any trouble with coming out to Scott.

[ballerina82]

Wow, scott is cool.  That's great.

[Creepingdeathx81]

It blows my mind how people can at some point get to the mentality that they are not comfortable with their sex. The fact that you are born male or female is sort of a permanent thing and should not be changed, it is all psychological something goes wrong mentally . Just my opinion I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade.

[asiangirldd]

As a transsexual, I have always been uncomfortable with my own body. Most of us who transitioned did so because there was no other way for us to live, so it is not a moral issue as much as it is a survival issue.

[Creepingdeathx81]

did you go from male to female? or female to male? either way how in the world do you go to the bathroom?

[asiangirldd]

Male to female, and I use the female washroom of course, because I look like a female.

[Creepingdeathx81]

no i mean literally how do you go to the bathroom? because you used to go with your penis and now you have a nice new vagina so do they just reroute the tubing or what?

[asiangirldd]

It works the same as any females.

[TheGodMar]

It blows your mind because you're uneducated. Before making such hurtful comments educate yourself. Transsexuals have gender dysphoria. That means Raci is literally mentally female and biologically male. There is no cure and psychologists actually help transsexuals to receive hormones and surgery. It's like being born without an arm. It's nothing you can control and it doesn't mean you're mentally ill.

[Dutch3DMaster]

@Creepingdeathx81: It's a mental thing. Transsexual women are born with a female brain in a male body and vice versa.

The fact that you are born male or female doesn't say a thing, what's between your legs doesn't define you who you are.

There are at least two gender identities: the physical and the mental.

In about 1 on 10000 boys born these don't line up because in the development of the brain the body doesn't respond to testosteron (against 1 on 30000 girls by the way, different reason.)

[asiangirldd]

I don't think she has to tell. It's not like she had oral sex with him, she just kissed him, it doesn't matter what is between her legs.

[TheGodMar]

I agree.

[iprimus99]

the best policy is always to be honest and up-front with these matters

[penaboy]

you have to tell someone lol

its obvious

[ligable]

I have my cynicism about this video, very few people would want to give bad impression to the public by walking out on someone in front of a camera. If I had a camera in my face and someone told me some news wasn't too happy with I wouldn't act the same. I am an FTM (opposite of what Raci is), and all of my friends/family/partner(s) (past and present), know. I will not hide myself away from anyone for any reason.

[iieqqyt]

raci hott.

[banion5]

Where's the second part, the part that the video ends with? Is there a link to that video? Could you mail it to me, please?

[darliegoddess]

Scott was .... wonderful. Sometimes young men are just way smarter than people give them credit for. Raci, who could not love her, she is adorable. I wish I had friends like her growing up.

[asiangirldd]

um, she is a bit deaf and is not fluent in english , thats why.

[NAA5]

Her voice is frightening, sounds like a robot with downssyndrome.

[TheGodMar]

She's deaf. If her voice frightens you, you are truly an immature idiot. Grow up.

[TamaraChing]

Raci should have been honest with herself first. After all, this was an acting class, and actors have to be something they are not. But Raci should not jump conclusions before the fact. Additionally girl, never kiss a guy without him knowing first or there will be big trouble later.

[1llusionz]

Scott's cool! :D

[paranrml44]

she is very beautiful and her voice sounds just like a biological female.

[masinindy]

Scott is hot as hell and Raci is quite beautiful. I wish them both the absolute best!

[yale0]

Scott is so HOT!

[asiangirldd]

well, it doesn't help that raci is hot...=D

[bankypunk]

aww I've only seen the first 4 episodes of this. I'm surprised that Scott was so open minded about it. I wish more people could be that mature about the GLBT community.

[tuttt99]

Raci is adorable. I rented the series on DVD and she was my favorite.

[BetchLOL]

Do u think u could put more videos on here. I love Raci, she totally looks like a girl.

[steamlilly]

Hey where is the whole story? =] Its very interesting. Can you upload more from this show?
