(First Cut) The Boy Who Was Born a Girl (female-to-male transsexual) 1 of 3

Jon is a typical teenage boy in all respects except one: he was born a girl.

Brought up as Natasha for 15 years, Jon can remember feeling male since he was only five years old. Having grown up always feeling different to the girls in school, it was impossible to identify as female.
Jon eventually confided in his mother Luisa, who supported him in seeking help from his GP and subsequently a gender specialist. He has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition that affects over 100 British children every year, and is embarking on an extraordinary journey of transition.

Director Julia Moon follows mother and son through the first three months of Jon's life-changing treatment as the testosterone pushes his female body into male puberty.

For Jon the changes that follow are things he's always wanted. But for Luisa, this means coming to terms with the enormous loss of her daughter.

Thank you for putting this video on Youtube. I myself am a teenage trans guy, just shy of 16, and have no way to watch this other than this site. I was very inspired and my point of view changed. Everytime I watch this, I feel better and I feel that there's hope. Thank you so much. Please keep posting this kind of stuff.

Honey, thank you so much for putting up all these GLBT-related movies. Some of them are just hard to find elsewhere, and I'm sure they're helpful to a lot of teenage kids who can't rent them or buy them on their own.

I know that feeling man.. I felt the same way. But other people just can't understand that feeling. They always misunderstood it with insecurities and depression. But the feeling is hard to explain, it can't be explain. Because it's all emotion, plainly, purely undescribable feeling. Felt like we're in a wrong body... People shouldn't judge instead support us for what we should become but be better than the real ones.. Just understand what you were and what you are, but just be better.

I understand that pink is just a color, but I think he was referring more to the brief-ness of the britches... and whatnot...

[jnr8877]

@lolhehe95 Just a truth teller.

@jnr8877 Sounds like someone's a bigot.

This is fucked up, just wrong

[ihazkittens]

BTW Boys can wear pink too. I don't see anything wrong with it or why he feels like he has to get rid of a whole bunch of stuff from his childhood because of that. You do what you know until you know better.

Wow he really did look like a man in drag. Hey, I'm a transguy too and when I tried to be a girl and I wore a dress my bro said I looked like a drag queen. And he was right. lol :P No more acting.
