Nice work everyone ... check out the video response i posted about what its like growing up trans in the midwest!

[RandolfeWicker]

I went to approve your video response but you've posted it to another video already. Nice video you made about being genderqueer in Ohio.

[StuartTV]

@RandolfeWicker oh...i didnt realize you can only post a video response once. is that true? thanks for watching by the way.

[RandolfeWicker]

That's true.  Otherwise, some people would post their video as a "response" to countless other videos.

The speaker is gorgeous, and has an important message.

Are the transgendered really denied medical care?

@jamaila123 You're welcome. :D

@TheSnowyice thank you for the information

[TheSnowyice]

@jamaila123 No, that's a she. There's a part of the rainbow flag saved for people like us. Do you know LGBT? The T part means transgender. I'm a ftm or female to male, and she is mtf or male to female. We have a lot of terminology to explain it, but basically we are people who aren't happy with our original assigned gender,I don't know why. Some of us have operations, but i've heard that a lot of us actually don't. Instead most of us just live as the gender we are more comforatable with. :-)

[jamaila123]

he is gay?

[KudouYusaku]

@killbillpills Try getting a job as a woman. I'd say that's pretty much a good control group test.

[Marge6351]

I rather do think people should stop demonizing entire communities of people using biblical 'facts'. It's just wrong. Why should the bigots and trolls continue to irritate us with THEIR religious superstition? I just don't get why they have so much hate to give to people who are transsexual, homosexual, or of a different ethnicity. Why can't they hate someone a little more deserving... that would be themselves.

I advocate transsexualism!
