Based upon my own thoughts and the ideas I got from other trans people on YT, I composed what I call "The Checklist of Transgender Positivity" that details ways in which being transgender is a very positive thing. I hope you enjoy.

  • You are my hero.

  • I love your checklist - great job! The one thing I will disagree with, though, is that there are in fact STRUCTURAL privileges to being cisgender over transgender. I think that is what the Cisgender Privilege Checklist was referring to. I think it's important to remember that while some trans folks have access to hormones, surgury, and counseling (if they want those things), many others do not. Thanks for posting on the positive experiences of being transgender! I enjoyed watching.

  • seriously great video, and paper!

  • BEST. FREAKING. SPEECH. EVER.

  • Excellent excellent work. Thank you for speaking for those of us who are transgender.

  • Great job on the paper. For a person who thinks they can't write, it was pretty good. But hey, don't get too egotistical over my compliment. I have my needle ready to pop your ego just in case.

  • *major hand claps* That is beautiful and you've given us a gift by sharing these thoughts will your class. Kudos man!

  • I really love your paper. And it was so brave of you to read it aloud to the class. Did people who didn't realize you're trans seem surprised by it?

    I really loved the positive spin on all this. Because, as you said, the media makes being trans out to be some horrible thing with absolutely no positivity coming from the trans identity.

    I think this is really amazing to hear you speaking up about this. You're a great advocate, both for yourself, and the trans community in general.

  • After you said '...because of this, I'm proud to be transgender', I could here the class applause from here :) Well done.

  • @FueltheAnimus Thank you so very much, my friend :)
