My Daughter, My Son

[DarkWillUser]

Wow, you are so pretty even without a lot of makeup.

[EmoCandyPop]

O.o you look like a real girl...no way can you be a boy. o.o

[lockedreams]

@EmoCandyPop That's because she's not a boy, she's a girl. >_> Honestly. I know that you wrote that four months ago, but still...

[2710Pocahontas]

I'm a beautiful transsexual like yourself and I can empathize about the journey of revisiting your roots. Even though the world sees me as a beautiful, talented hairstylist and educator, my home town still sees me as once handsome man that threw away his manhood. The don't say it per say, but you can always sense it. I HATE going home so I avoid it at all cost. It's sad to to look at all the faces that view you as being deceased because of your lifestyle choice. True, but sad ☹.

[octabreaker]

amazing, like always! i LOVE watching your videos callie :)

[thelostgirl007]

I will say that I LOVE that red glitter lip stick you were wearing and I want it. You kind of look like a friends of mines girlfriend but I know you aren't the same person cause her name is Lauren lol.

[fighter79poet]

You look beautiful even though you look so sad here.

[LadyLiberty2006]

Although ur life wasnt easy i myself would choose to live in your shoes to Experience REAL TRUE LOVE..im sorry evilness in the world destroyed that very thing thing that brought out the best of YOU.. his gone but WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.. PLEASE DONT LET HIS MEMORIES/LIFE BE FORGOTTEN N LOSTED...

[trans0issy]

Beautiful song, beautifully edited video. The mixture of tender and abrasive imagery here is wonderful.

[TheKidFromYTown]

Really enjoyed this song. Thanks for sharing.

[upcycle]

it would be interesting to know what the song writer was thinking about regarding the words of the song, or what inspired the song.

[mrliammm]

Awsome vid! I am trans and fear my mum and dad...they know but would disown me if i switch but whatever...love the vid hun.

[Louandra]

Transgenders rights are HUMAN RIGHTS.

[KingAaron19]

@arab4lifemuslim4ever

LOL Arab? Muslim? Maybe if you uncovered your woman more often you'd see that women look like Calpernia and the thing you see is called "beautiful"

[mustafaojo]

I LOVE YOUR FACE

[PQQI]

LIKE A MOVIE...............WONDERFUL!­

[VanWADebbie]

@arab4lifemuslim4ever  You should not look at this then.

[CannibalFleshFest]

Great music and vid -thumbs up-

[InjectMorphineIntoMe]

Wow, this is pretty cool XD

[Suzie4good]

did you ever find yourself?

[WaTThEKoOl]

u look like angelina jolie here ur hot!!!

[kaosdevice]

this song makes me a little sad.

[CalperniaAddams]

@arab4lifemuslim4ever Whatever it is, it's coming for you in your nightmares tonight and it is NOT happy.

[D0nRidah]

@CalperniaAddams wow you shouldn t even answer to a motherfucking muslim. They re all animals

[IdiosyncraticChild]

@D0nRidah I'm a Muslim and I respect transsexuals and gays as I would do anyone. Please don't stereotype. Thank you very much. And oh, I surely am not an animal.

Calpernia, you are amazing! =D

P/S: Nice song.

[Pennhill007]

So Pretty So Cool

[RedVynil]

When I first saw this a few minutes ago, I had NO idea what it was all about and I thought the girl driving the car was VERY pretty!! I still do!! Now that I've gone to your page and know more about you, I understand what the video is about, but, until you actually said that you transistioned, I had NO clue that you were a guy at one time. You've done a FANTASTIC job of it, Calpernia!!!! MUCH applause and praise!! Maybe some day I'll be lucky enough to meet you! Psychic hugs & kisses!!

[tfoen7678]

nice trip...Nashville looks quite nice...

[meowcat121]

did your hormones help your body to get that gorgeous????? im so fat i jiggle! (although im getting better :D) but still my hormones arent doing anything but give me boobs! im so jealous of you!.

[parachuteclubbed]

Cheers for unintentionally introducing me to Colour Green.

[LoquenDog]

sex engine !!

[zvmk]

tronco e maricaaaaaaaaaa ! nice vid

[zvmk]

♥♥♥

[hqnuclear]

que verga ! is beautiful ... this person is cute

[dirtysouth84]

wow...thank you for this Calpernia! i completely identify with this...this is just what i needed to see. i am trans and from nashville as well, and I remember seeing you at the Connection back when i was young and not out...i am just speechless...thank you for somehow capturing that ambivalent feeling of "home". beautiful.

[mattphat23]

the song choice was an absolutely perfect. it spoke volumes to me with the video. do you have a good relationship with your parents/family? you can respond directly via message if you prefer. *muah*

[sarahbright82]

Is that East Nashville? (I live just down from Shelby Park.)

[CalperniaAddams]

Yes, Shelby Park and East Nashville =)

[GMPNY]

Love you Calpernia!

[storyteller3927]

simply beautiful :-)

[xxNick78xx]

does she have kids?

[CalperniaAddams]

No, in this movie I'm home in Nashville and it's kind of from the perspective of my "motherland" and my real family... the dichotomy of who I was, and who I've become.

[KINGgutterface]

i still stand by my thought that you are one of the most beautiful women ive ever seen.

i hope your days go well.

[CandyColouredLights]

This clip is absolutely gorgeous. i love it.

[PelonLatino]

I love you Calpernia

[Maggot4lyf911]

Oh god...

[pippy5babies]

Soo much from so little, my favourite

[ilovecrisscroker]

wait your the gurl that was on that show!!?? i love you and let me tell ya your HOT!!1

[TheMiddleBrunette]

if you pause at 3:02, it's a bit Angelina Jolie-ish

[justiceleague3000]

Thank you for sharing your various creative gifts with the world. The world is better for it!

[robiellen]

I loved this video, it brought me to tears thinking about the memeries that it must have brought back to you going back to TN.

[forscde]

CALPERNIA I REALLY LIKE THIS VIDEO...AND IT REMINDS ME OF BARRY...iloveyou calpernia! i support you! i pray that your career will bloom more and more and more!! GOD BLESS YOU

[MIDJOBZ]

God bless you calpernia, you are amazing, thanx for sharing your personality, beauty to us. you are willing, supportive wonderful human being, I love your mind as well as your heart.

ps

your so beautiful, I wish I had hair like yours. I loved Beautiful Daughters for V Day, superb.

[Ros06]

i really like this video.. i admire you a lot calpernia..!

this song reminds me of Joshua Radin's music.. i think you should check his music out..!

(thanks hammerheart13 for the heads up on those bands... got some of their tracks :-D!!)

[thegreenmanofnorwich]

You actually look really nice and a little less intimidating when you're without all the makeup. Not that I particularly subscribe to worshipping at the altar of youth, but you look younger for it too.

[lacrymosa911]

what a beautiful song! you are such a beautiful woman! u ARE calpernia:) have you ever listened to edith piaf? she is amazing...i'd recommend her music if u like this..I like this song:) its very soothing:)

[hammerheart13]

Calpernia, if you like this song you should check out the bands Mazzy Star, Nouvelle Vague, and the 60's french pop of Francoise Hardy, who all share a similar dreamy vibe.

P.S. I love your videos, they always make me smile.

[CalperniaAddams]

Yes, I have all of those artists in my iPod! =) (Edit Piaf, too)

[MIDJOBZ]

NICE SOFT BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES!

[kariryanisabitch]

are those videos of you performing at the place you met berry?

[sweet1lesa]

God you are beautiful

[swlip]

Thanks for being you, Calpernia.

[Jaxicat]

That was beautiful.

[gavroash]

You look incredible :)

Good luck.

And that is such a lovely song, it's kind of the stuff I wouldn't usually buy until I listen to by accident lol :-)

[Atkamon]

You look so beautiful!

[intricateayla]

Is that actually you singing? Would really like to know. It's a gorgeous song and a wonderful vid :) xx

[CalperniaAddams]

The song is by Sibylle Baier, a dreamy and cool German actress from the 70's.

[anonymoustalker69]

Is that the name of the song?

[CatCommunication]

The song is called "Softly" you can find it on Amazon.

[Minkz89]

this film is gorgeous, and you look beautiful :)

hope you have a great life, you deserve it.

[CalperniaAddams]

Lezborado, I meant to click "reply" and clicked "remove", arggh! You said something like "Such a lovely song, with a tinge of sadness. I like you, Calpernia."

I was going to say, "I do tend toward the melancholy, but life is still a beautiful thing in the end. =) "

[VileRiley]

This is her singing? Damn shes good.

[tctrish]

What a beautiful song. Your singing is heavenly.

Bravo! Applause! Standing Ovation!

[Omega31181]

You're beautiful, Calpernia!

[strangeparty]

Another gem from my favorite chanteuse. That was lovely.

[TheCheshireSpider]

You look lovely with the dark brown hair, nice song, hm, might have to check the dreamy and cool german actress out! :D

[SuperDisser]

pores*

[sallydreams]

Whoa, you look way more female without all that make up.

[bouncer160]

back handed compliment ill back hand you

[bouncer160]

thats to the " you look more female without makeup" it emplyes cally is still looking male. never. just no

[sallydreams]

No. It wasn't a compliment at all, it was a statemtn. (Not saying it was derogatory either)

I was just saying that Calpernia looked less Tranny and more -just female- without all the stage make up.

And I fail at discribing what I mean.

[DixieVideos]

love the video and the song u choose,

very deep short video...

5 stars Calpernia,

u rock.

u have a new fan

[foomibman]

I just watched 10 questions - then saw this. From 1:18-1:30 ... what a lovely face. Your overbite is cute. Pain of the past ... bad place to drown. I genuinely pray peace.

[sulliedotcom]

This is really cool.

[LALAshesingsLALA]

I think you're absolutely amazing :)

[Jehuty123]

All you people with nothing good to say about her can SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE!

Kisses Cali ^_^

[Mafumado]

Can't I just hang myself?

[forscde]

this is really a good song...calpernia..dont mind the haters...keep it up girl!

[DeVereffening]

I hope you will never have any children, for them. Nobody wants a TRANSSEXUAL as a DAD !

[forscde]

why are u so judgmental!! u go to hell!!

[Mafumado]

Yea! Damn that bastard hating on all of us who do want a TRANSSEXUAL as a DAD!

[Manasxvalentine]

I do.

[SuperDisser]

...My dog screamed and then fainted with all that makeup... lol

[CalperniaAddams]

I would actually like to see that, it sounds funny!

[FantasmaBAnco]

With a username like "SuperDisser" I was expecting some witty, cutting remark... but this was just childish and lame.

[SuperDisser]

I diss occasionally. It generally is better but it gets boring dissing frequently...Besides it wasn't a diss. I understand the makeup because its hollywood but she looks better without it... God it gets old dissing.

[CalperniaAddams]

I appreciate your honesty, and I would like to see your dog scream and faint just for the lulz. Thank God I don't wear that show makeup any more... it only came off in the shower with dishwashing detergent.

[SuperDisser]

...that cant be good for the poors ._.

[Mafumado]

really? I thought with a name like Superdisser, I would expect nothing more.

[SuperDisser]

When I first came onto Youtube I was a diss machine but god damn it gets old after a year

[TheYolk]

oh my god that song is goooorgeous:D

[classyandsassy]

Love the song and the clip. If it wasn't for you i'd never know who sibylle is. her songs are amazing !

xox

[kaosdevice]

melancholy

[ritesoflove]

you look really good with the natural-looking makeup

[jan1cia]

all that make up in that one take in your close up makes you look trany... natural makeup looks better

[jetlxix]

Very emotional. Thanks...

[lucyandspike]

you're beautiful

[EmpiricalBlues]

Nice falsetto, almost sounds like a womens head voice.

[kopperb]

Is that you singing?????????? You are awesomely talented! Please do not wear that makeup anymore.  You are naturally beautiful. That scared me.

[CalperniaAddams]

It was Vegas-style stage makeup, you'd see the same thing on Christina Aguilera, Cher, Britney, everybody close up. But I agree, it's pretty shocking looking!

[forscde]

I really liked this video. Well edited and beautiful choice of music!

[interruptedrainbow]

you're pretty :)

xx

[dgbril]

You're a beautiful woman... regardless of anyones opinions.

[bigbadboynuts]

wow...so pretty with so little makeup!

[angconrad]

You look so dreamy/sad/pretty in the car.

[youtewb06]

you look like that women wrestler that used to be in the WWE.

[progressivist]

Haunting and ethereal. So beautiful, it hurts.

[qob]

I really can't get over how pretty you are ;)

[m0nk3yzz]

I loved the video; you looked so pretty in the car!!

[NewVideosLol]

gay

[EmmaLBooth]

I love this, the song is very beautiful! I love your eyes...

[gangima]

i love this. your voice is very pretty... when you speak it's sweet too.

this song reminds me of something that julie delpy would sing.. makes me a little sad, but not in a bad way :)

love to you.. gros bisous

[wizzardsmith30]

I love it. It's like some kind of dream from a member of the Velvet Underground. The singer is very Nico-like.

[forscde]

love it

[stylecollective]

Without make-up you look just like one of my stylist girlfriends orginally from Costa Rica. You look like you could be siblings, I SWEAR.

Your day to day face without make-up, btw, looks very fresh and pretty. Nice video and thanks for the heads-up on the German lady who sings the underscore, I'm going to look her music up here in Europe.

[DaijuDavid]

1:29 - Incredible eyes that say so much. Best part of the short.

[swanseatim]

Crap

[vivecarocks]

i actually like that song, its like a lullaby or something for drag kids.

[ashleyjuddstwin]

This is very beautiful...I agree with some people below...definitely captured a feeling!

[paisleypower30]

This song is haunting and wonderful :)

[thehornypuppy]

You actually look better without so much make up.

Isaid that you were hateful...and maye you just had IT with something someone said to you. Or maybe the video about improper questions was way before this i don't know...

And hey...just be you...a woman :3

[ELACG]

That was really nice.

And to be honest I think you look really pretty in the car. The stage makeup was cool but you looked like a real person while driving. (If you get what I mean.)

Dreamy and cool. (Faving.)

[Joshallenisme]

you look sad in the begining!

[g00521280]

cool song

[ntune990]

hey what song is that?

[gtarmom]

What a cool song. And great performance. You have a beautiful voice.

[suzannezelei]

Wonderful. Love it. Smooches!

[UnexpectedGift]

This looks like the Franklin area--lovely foliage. I could tell it was TN from the start, primarily because it's so darn DESOLATE! Well done.

[dripsofmoonlight]

That black dress is beautiful.

[TheArtisticArtiste]

your Pretty!

[toolgirl150]

good vid! Love the the make up but your prettier without it.

[Stagoya]

This is a beautiful video.

[quitejaded]

The performing you're doing... is that you thinking of the past? I hope you are not doing that now because I dunno... regular woman can't do that. And you're now a woman. I think that is what men do. They don't even have to want to be women, they can just be doing it for fun.

That's how I see it. I don't know much about these kind of things, though.

Actually, I feel kind of bad for saying "Men can do this and women can't..." Hmm. I don't know what to think.

[crazietracie]

great video miss calpernia !!! you look stunning on stage too!!!!!!!!!!!

[anyonumiss]

I know that feeling. I remember it from the last time I tried to see my father. He sent me on my way and refused to see me. He died a few years later without ever accepting me. I feel sad that his heart was that small.

[jnyca]

Awesome to see you back in your show days, that was really cool!!! Thanks for sharing and what a beautiful song. I was obsessed with your tv show btw :D

[LadyDakota]

I now officially love Sibylle Baier. Thanks for introducing me to her!

[1948mmm]

Thanks for video that we can all relate to.Going back home for a glance and than continuing on............

[hornwell]

you really captured a certain feeling here, very nice!

[CalperniaAddams]

=) Thank y'all!

[bouncer160]

you are my mum. i just addopted you

[arridian]

That was beautiful Calpernia.

[5039452]

This film connects

[CandyColouredLights]

That was absolutely gorgeous. It was very touching.

[niamhc]

you're beautiful. thank you for making this :)

[ar0483]

i can tell you one thing that u are beautiful

[mypercula]

Lovely

[mskatwoman022008]

yeah me too. i left my country 5 years ago. and i never go back since. i dont kno what they going to react when they see me like this. i am so scare though, i dont know if they going to kill me or what. i love this video. it made me cry :(

[retrodisco319]

Beautiful music, beautiful you!

[princedepressia]

*hugs* Hi Calpernia... I so know how this feels. That's why I haven't gone home for nearly 3 years now. I find it hard to face my family, being so different from when I left. I still have to try to find courage to face the demons of the past.

Thanks for the vid. =)

[octogirlpretty]

Beautiful short.I love it.

[supersasa1]

Beautiful, stunning, amazing. I love this video, you looks so serine so great. I love it.

[tallasacornstalk]

Calpernia:

I really enjoyed this -- your eyes capture a lot of the conflicting emotions of what "going home" means for me. The whole late-90s club film gave me memories of my own similar experiences.

This one is my favorite.

[homelybill]

Poignant. You're much prettier now. I love your wit and wisdom. I hope you find true love. Melissa

[LuvLesbianLyfe]

Very touhing song and video..

I love it....

[icecorescientist]

beautiful video.Vlogged

[nonprofitgirl]

"Softly..in the wintertime..."

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Sibylle Baier's whole CD, Colour Green, is amazing and I LOVE the way you used this song in your beautiful video. Makes me want to weep from happiness on a Saturday morning.

[nin514]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[DanaTS]

Beautiful! I loved it and can totally relate. That song is amazing too.

[SlackerAndy02]

Very good video. By the way, you look better as a woman. I am proud of what you have done. Keep up the good work.

[Robbi496]

Hi Callie, I like you better as a woman than as a performer in clubs! ((hug))

[Auggie56]

Calpernia you have matured rather well. You look lovely.

[silvervioletfire1]

i think calpernia looks beautiful and natural here. a testiment to all of us and how we sometimes feel inside- we are all connected!

[jillianstl]

Awesome Callie

[korinneg]

The perspective and smooth camera angles are captivating... I love the timelessness of this video. Calpernia, you look beautiful, per always...

[mjblue2006]

calpernia this video is sensational, and you are a sensational woman
