  • I'm so happy I found your videos! You are an incredibly eloquent person, Meiko and listening to you is such a joy. <3

  • Wonderful video, I think real beauty can only be measured by the content of ones soul, and you have a beautiful soul my dear. Love your openness to express your thoughts on the subject, keep smiling cutie ; )

  • Thank you for making this video.. I've been struggling to decide wether I wanna go on hormones because of the physical changes I want to avoid (body hair/hair loss) and this has made it a little more clear for me but still hard..

  • you are a very Beautiful person ...period.

  • @endcamp89 for me it is a boy like any other boys... It is maybe cause i know the gay boy scene and for me it's not like a man has to be rude and extra-masculine to be a man... I repeat: he's feminine (not that much i think) like many guys...surely he's not just feminine..we see his femininity cause he's a boy, but I can see his manhood too =) And he's beautiful as he is

  • OMG I said it...i must be very tired and need to go sleep XD and also i'm italian so I have to think a little before writing something and it happens to write uncorrectly

  • @endcamp89 you have no idea what it means to be a man.

  • Thank you for making your videos. I think right now in my life, I am somewhat absorbed in my self. In looking good the way I want to look, but also in other peoples eyes. I'm just trying to figureout who I am, and who I want to be both on the inside and outside. Anyway, I just Love the way you think, and how you grow and learn. It makes me so happy when I listen to people like you, and your wisdom makes my journey a happier one.

  • @endcamp89 I have no desire to fill the space of the kind of definition you believe a "real man" to be. I am true to myself... A person that feels no need to speak with a "powerful" or aggressive tone of voice is one that knows the impact one has with the words one speaks, and has nothing to prove. "Only the gentle are ever really strong."

  • Of coarse these comments are free of tact, they're anonymous, you will never know us. We are strangers and it's easier to speak you mind when you know you will never have to interface with that person.

    BTW, you are a beautiful human being, boy/girl/androgynous/alien, what have you, so very beautiful.

  • After watching this, I feel that I should commend you for making this transition. I'm bi and I think you are beautiful no matter what gender. It makes me feel so happy and at peace that you're living you life how you want and now how others want you to.

  • @bbstaraimee Bi is great, but I think his point is that you don't have to be bi to see that he is beautiful no matter what, or that external beauty defines one's worth.

  • I really really liked this video. I think your a very brave and wonderful person for making the videos you make. I am really touched and think it takes a special and strong person to do what they feel is right for them regardless of what others think. I think that if it makes you feel more comfortable in your skin that your body, mind, and heart all match how you've felt all of your life then more power to you darling! :)

  • Meiko, thank you so much for making this video, it was very enlightening to me. I'm in the early stages of transition and have been forced to take a look at what REALLY makes me me. I had no idea how mentally wrapped up I was in concerns with beauty...I've come to realize that so much of my fear of transitioning is just fear of losing the one thing that I could always count on to get me positive attention: my looks, and also fearing that others would comment on that perceived loss.

  • @ARCexmachina Yeah, unfortunately that's just how we are programed in this culture, to place value on looks and attraction. It's something I think most of us struggle with-- and eventually, if we don't learn it in our young and healthy beautiful days, we learn it later in life when our bodies begin to fall apart. Hair loss, muscle loss, wrinkles, skin texture and pigment changes, we learn eventually that value is deeper than just skin level.

  • [Comment continued: ]

    I just don't understand how people can think that it's accepting of them or a compliment to me if they insult other trans people to me face.

    Maybe I should make a video about this, cause I'm getting quite worked up about it now...

  • What gets me annoyed a lot is how sex appeal also often correlates with people's acceptance. For instance, when people say stuff like "Yeah, but you turned out looking alright, so that's fine. Cause, I mean, this other guy I met this one time.../this woman I know.../this transsexual I saw on TV.../etc."

    Like I'm some sort of clay vase that came off the pottery wheel only marginally wonky. That's not a compliment to me, nor is it a compliment to other people I respect deeply.

  • this probably defeats the purpose of your video. but i think you look the same. only diff is the beard. you look nice either way.

  • another great vid for my trans_queer related playlist :)

    Meiko, I've sent you a friend invitation ages ago, don't know if you've ever seen it.

    all the best, peace and enlightment

    C.

  • this message is important too all people. i guess it takes a personal journey to realize these things. a person's value should never depend on others' opinion and will. loving ourselves as we are is the first step to happiness.

  • You're quite an extraordinary guy. You have a beautiful mind and you're clear with your message. Kudos to you.

    Also; Random question, how big are your lobes stretched?

  • your videos make me feel so calm... like everything is going to be allright...

  • Meiko, i just wanna say, to u, that your an amazing person. With your background and all. Your a very strong person. Your heart shines through everything u do. Thats why so many people like u an follow your journey. What ever u wanna be on the out side, cant not be, without the inside. And your a beutyful prove off that.

  • hi

    

  • You're amazing. :) Thank you for this!

  • Meiko - you are a truly sexy, inspiring, beautiful, and awesome person because of who you are, not because of your gender expression or how physically attractive you are to others.

  • Wow, I thank you so much for making this video! While I am a cisgendered female and can never fully understand what trans people go through, I can definitely relate to feeling like your physical attractiveness is correlated to your worth. I just wanted to say that your kind and wise words speak to many, not just those who are transitioning.

  • beauty=value MAY be true and valid - i mean who knows.. but the point is sometimes u just need to move on and deal w other stuff because our time is obviously limited.

  • Beautiful message you brought to attention here :)

  • Thank you Meiko for another very well spoken and meaningful video. The one thing I wanted to say after seeing all of your videos including this one is something that I hope you don't feel uncomfortable or concerned with:

    YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL -PERSON-. Your message, is beautiful - The words you choose to say it with are chosen in a beautiful manner: The fact you give so much of us hope? Beautiful. :) Carry on Meiko! Keep doin' what you do.

  • A genuine smile that lights up someone's eyes, one that comes from a place of love and comfort with oneself is beautiful :-D

    Good points, and I'm guilty of doing these things in the past *shame*. I find transmen very attractive, probably because a) I have an androgynous identity (internally, not so many would know from looking at me) so I relate in some ways b) I'm bisexual and enjoy androgyny in others due to being attracted to both M and F qualities and c) I find less rugged men attractive.

  • its kind of weird actually cause I know I identify with men in a lot of ways, but as a lesbian and finding my own body attractive, I don't find men attractive and wouldn't want to look like a guy, even if I found that I would be better expressed as one! But I love this particular video, to hear that you're learning from previous vanities. I look forward to looking forward to getting old. Haha. But really. Getting there.

  • U r an amazing man and I adore u! I just started watching u today .:)

  • I'm drawn to your love of life and how happy u r now as who u truely r.u r an amazing and wonderful man and I adore you!

  • You're beautiful as a male and beautiful as a female. The most attractive thing about you is your intelligence. Before I started researching trans people I thought that they were all obsessed with their bodies, and queer people in general were obsessed with their sexuality. I mean, really, is that the only way you define yourself? The vessel you wear and the vessel you prefer to have sex with are not that important. Thank you Meiko for helping me tear down that stereotype, and helping me u

  • I was initially attracted to your soul and personality. Your words and thoughts drew me in wanting to hear more. To learn more.

  • Another beautiful video. Keep them coming, take care xxxxxx

  • I've seen all of your videos ._. I just wanna say, you have AMAZING Hair. ! I know it's random but whatever I had to say it :)

  • i think your gorgous and im glad your happy with your ftm transition. your personally just makes you the person who you are. not how you look. it doesnt define you. people are ignorant in thinking someone has to look a certain way , its what makes you happy that matters and the people who matter dont judge and the ones who do arent wort anyones time.. keep up the awsome videos i think your a pretty awsome role model for people thinking about this. your super smart :D

  • i value attraction in the same way u used to. i am constantly obsessing over how i look. i just noticed again upon waking that my facial structure looks different, yet again. it's weird to go thru this metamorphosis right in front of your own eyes. if people think they know what trans people go thru just cuz they know individuals in or post transition, they really don't have a clue. a lot of my friends ditched me during the first 2 months on T because of how my attitude changed towards life.

  • I couldn't agree with you more. I have received comments and seen comments on other channels...you are so much better as a guy. I find myself saying you look great as a guy but you looked great in your female body too. It might be better if I don't say anything, but I didn't want the person to think they were at one time unattractive.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Jaden

  • love your videos.

  • Meiko:

    What I find most attractive about you is your intellect, wisdom, and ability to articulate your views. That attractiveness was probably there before transition (although you may have been too shy to let it show) and will stay with you. You also have a hot body, but that is just "icing on the cake". Lloyd

  • thankyou for your outlook. total inspiration.

  • This vid is Legit. Good work.

  • meiko, i'd really love the oportunity to speak with you, im going through quite a rough time at the moment with my transition but your vids are so heartwarming and i actually havnt met anyone with such a great outlook on life and everything that goes with it. you really are a big inspiration to me meiko, thank you

  • @underd0g100 Feel free to drop me a message here or on Facebook anytime. My FB link is right on my main channel page.

  • i greatly appreciate your way with words, and further appreciated is what you've said here.

  • great video meiko!

  • Your videos always give me a sense of perspective and clarity.

  • I specially like the end of your video,your thaughts about growing old : )

    you really make me smile  : ) ***

  • awesome vid!!!!!

  • meiko i think you are attractive especially on the inside.

  • great video!

  • I really appreciated hearing you voice this. It's an internal conversation I have had a lot, so it was nice to hear out loud also.

  • I agree that comments about someone's attractiveness are insignificant in a way (ie. when they relate to a person's attractiveness pre/post op. and indirectly their current worth). But I think it a nice thing to hear positive reinforcement (ie. relating to attractiveness) from peers during your early stages of transition when you may be insecure about the way you are being percieved. But like you said, 'say it if you must, but know that it has no significance.' Great vid Meiko.

  • i got comments like that on my youtube as well as my facebook and they didnt feel like compliments they hurt my feelings. when i said that the comments were rude the person got angry and defensive. it was another ftm

  • you touch a lot opf people.

  • I think one of the reasons a lot of people make comments about attractiveness of transpeople on vlogs is because they forget they are watching someone change their appearance for intensely personal reasons and may lapse into seeing it as more of a makeover or something like that. Just as you would comment on how someone looked before and after a major weight change, a new haircut, etc, people comment on how the transition looks. This just sort of shows how little some people understand.

  • Great video topic Meiko,

    In the past, female friends have said how I shouldn't transition because I have such a nice female body, and it bugs me that they don't understand that a) it isn't as simple as that and b) just because you like my body, doesn't mean I like my body. I'm uncomfortable in my skin, and I'm not going to stay the way I am, just because you envy what I have. What's right for one person, is wrong for another.

    Thanks again for being your down to earth, genuine, self.

  • I am really glad you made this video, It can be very difficult going through this and keep yourself grounded with real expectations and a sense of worth and appreciation for yourself. As a woman I definitely can relate. I once people get that confidence and comfort level, it seems you spend less time thinking about appearance and find people become drawn to you anyway,

  • @4NDR414D well said!!!

  • This video really helped me today. Thank you for posting this.

  • Well said. Thanks for contributing this video :]

  • Glad to see another video from you man. Looking good :) and this is a great video to have made. I see these comments on guys videos everyone and while sometimes the person does have the best intentions it really doesn't help =/ Hope 2011 is an awesome year for you man!

  • Loved this man

  • Hey

  • Amazing video. Favoriting! I've always valued your productions for your intellect and insights. Great finishing statements dude.

  • Aww you seem so sweet. Love your videos bb, they're always so deep! :)

  • happiness is when we realize our inner beauty

  • God, you're so right. "Gendered" compliments never feel quite right, in either direction.

  • I agree. Often enough I get the feeling that transpeople (especially transwomen) are only allowed to transition if they become "hot" in the eye of the ignorant public.

  • @MrImportrans I see these comments as well. It's so very disheartening.

  • You're really So Pretty :)

  • Interesting subject. With free speech comes responsibility, people tend to forget that. Also forgetting that the people in this world weren't born simply to please one's own sexual preferences. It's kind of bizarre.

    People vs sexual preferences are like furniture, really. There are many different kinds of couches.. one sofa might not fit very well into a particular living room, but in someone else's house it'll look fantastic.

    For some people, you'll just always be the wrong kind of sofa.

  • @jaenadar This is the BEST comment EVER!!! Thank you! Great analogy!

  • @jaenadar

    nice :)

  • I've made comments on your videos in the past I hope they did not reflect badly on me. I would like to talk to you if possible. I will write you a message I hope this time you answer. If not I wish you the best. Much Love

  • I agree COMPLETELY with everything you said. People have said things like that to me many times!! You are so right! Thank you so much for making this video.

  • You are an amazing person and have a beautiful mind. You are an inspiration. I find that you most prominant attractive characteristics lie within your attitude, personality, way of speech, and your view on life in general. you amaze me and i am greatful to have the oportunity to view these perspectives you hold that leave me in awe. You, and people like you, are what the people of this generation should be looking up to. i hope to meet you someday and learn/teach a thing a two ;] much <3

  • @HelloSexKitten Thank you so very kindly...

  • @MeikoEliasXavier absolutely :] and thank you for the oportunity to witness people being enlightened <3
