6 - "Attempt at an ASL introductory VLOG about my FtM transition"

Please excuse the errors and lack of flow, etc...this is my first attempt and hopefully with a little more practice and feedback it will at least be understandable. I just wanted to be sure to upload videos that can also be accessed by the Deaf community who for whatever reason may be interested in transgender issues and my personal experience with it. I hope to add captions to my previous uploads when I get a little more time and I will also have some of my friends who are fluent in ASL help me with signs and maybe even interpret for me a time or two.

With that said...I hope you understand. :)

BTW I don't see SEE at all! Maybe a bit of PSE (mixture of ASL in English order), but you're doing great so far!!! :)

An idea -- replace "ASL" for "sign language" or "sign" (in your vids and in written/spoken English)

:)

Thank you...your feedback is AWESOME and needed! :)

hey! first- thanks for the sub. second, nice vid and I just want to say your signing style is straight up masculine like everything else. I don't know- just thought it was neat, so thanks!

[mmdmatt84]

Thanks! I never thought about that, and I really appreciate the insight into my masculine style signing...Now if only I could get the hang of making it more ASL instead of SEE. How do you know sign?

My best friend is trans ftm and deaf and I am somewhat fluent in sign....I also want the world to know that I am not a girl but a man. I also played boys games like baseball and never understood why the girls wanted to talk about bras when it made me sick to even think of needing to wear one. My buddy Hayden who is deaf is going to love that there are other deaf people who are ftm on youtube. I told him I would look and see.  He needs more deaf or at least signing ftm friends. Thanks

Little question (sorry if it is stupid). Why do you somewhat articulate parts of your words ? Just wondering. Thanks

[CJR2004]

Will send more comments later, but wanted to say you did the the 'trampoline' concept (the part where you liked to do a "front body jump") PERFECTLY!!!!

[evoune444]

Wow! You sign pretty well. Although french SL is quite different, it just flows naturally for you. I have worked with autistic children and handicaped children for a long time and I think you sign pretty well. Where and how come did you learn it ? thank you!

I took classes about 12 years ago lol. I'm just one of those people who can remember things like that.

peace...

I took ASL a little over a year ago, and I understood most of that! Yay for actually retaining memory!
