And now you have 366 subscribers!

I was intrigued by your remark about your feet having changed. In what way did they change? I have heard only one transwoman say something about feet and that was that she had to get new workshoes because her feet had shrunk (there are muscles there too after all).

@NaomiClareNL The changes were subtle but still quite noticeable. They are still big ( :) ) but they completely softened in appearance. Veins, tendons, etc. have all almost disappeared.

(continuing) so don't mind about what 'they' say... you're getting what and where you want, they probably are dealing with their issues in life unsuccessfully (poor souls!)... you know It takes boldness to face life. Thanks for your videos, they are truly a very very helpful resource for boys and girls like us... and for people in general who want to know how to address (do and don't's, I mean) trans people. Warm kisses and keep going ahead, you're very charming, competent and pretty!!

@sirenefatale Thank you very much for the kind words and encouragement. I think it is so cool to know that there is someone far across the world who took the time to watch my video and send me a message. Just what I joined this forum for!

Shawn, thanks for the time and effort to make this insightful video. I enjoy hearing the self reflections and how by changing, the world around us may change as well.

I suggest that what allows for such mental and emotional changes is in part the social transition, but ALSO the various forms of medical transition. And of course the first medical one is typical the homonal one. So I think at least the blocking of male testro and taking female hormones accounts for some of your experiences.

I was just thinking as I was listening to your story about all the various stages one must arrive at along this pathway to wholeness. Just because YOU are at a certain point along the continuum, u also must consider that other people, like friends, coworkers, family members, must also travel along this pathway, and jt can get sticky when u are at one point and others are at a different point. Does this make sense? Great patience (and time) is needed on both sides. My best to u!

Thank you for your sharing these unexpected findings. I was both expecting there to be a change in emotion and thought but never expected it to be as profound.

Hi, darling! I was watching your video and loved it. I'm also transitioning and I know how hard it is sometimes and also the emotions... well, what I have sincerely to say, apart from a slight hint with your voice (which is not a big issue), you look ABSOLUTELY & AMAZINGLY feminine... you are ready (physically) to be a 101% passable woman, be sure of that...
