Week 13: Devin - Born In The Wrong Body

Do you feel that this expression adequately describes your transgender experience? Is this how you explain transgender to no-trans people? If you have the sensation of feeling "trapped" does it get better or worse with transitioning? Do you think societal gender norms influence your gender identity or is it mostly a biological feeling?

"It's the same mouth to me, but it's a different voice"

The whole video is wise but I like that line the most. :)

Sorry, I have a question for you..Do think that it is fair for a ftm to strip a lesbian female of her colors just to make themselves happy? For exsample: i can no long say i am a lesbian because their consider themselves to be male....

[kandyrain25]

I am a lesbian female and i once cross paths with a ftm...now what im gettin is that its didnt work out due to the fact that he tried to force it upon me instead of helpin me understand. I think that if he would have been as clear to me as you put it i would have understood...THANK YOU FOR HELPIN ME DO THAT

Just wanted to say I liked listening to your perspective. I feel I was born trans. Not born in the wrong body. I can say starting T-changed things in ways that I didn't expect. I felt more relaxed. More normal. Not super excited per se. Just like this is just right.

I find it curious that so many transguys and others of the LGBTQ non community go into the Human Services field.
