Your smile is beautiful beyond compare and you've substance beneath the exterior to match, I love the messages you convey and have become increasingly fascinated with the subject transgender. I understand now that gender identity and biological sex are two separate entities, I love that. Thank you for the videos : )

@lilkush909 Hmmm, not to be rude, but you're right-- You're missing the point. Transitioning isn't about turning into a gender you're "attracted to"... That's called "sexual orientation", it's totally different. Your sexual preference describes who you are drawn to. Gender identity is who/what you feel yourself to be. Just because someone is attracted to a certain sex doesn't mean that they have to BE that sex themselves. That's why there are heterosexual people in the world.

@omgfaglolz I always say honestly is the best policy, but TACT comes in a close 2nd. I think it's ok to say: "I was just wondering how you identify yourself". I think it's a cool question for ANYONE, regardless of if they are or aren't trans or gay. It's an open-ended question that lets the other person answer in any way that they like, about how they view themselves. They might tell you about their sexuality, gender, nationality, spirituality, etc. It's a great way to get to know someone!

I also noticed that a lot of transwomen stick together (at least the crowd I see) and that I hardly see the same camaraderie among transmen in my area. I'd like to see a united front for trans indiv's because as we fight for gender identity protections, we need BOTH transmen and transwomen visible. Just a thought

[vidhead85]

Thank you for sharing your story and this video. I am very disheartened when I hear that LGBT people are in fact racist, sexist and transphobic. I would think that LGBT people wouldn't be. When the transwoman was attacked in MD, I saw so many racist comments that blew my mind. I am a black gay man btw, and I couldn't have been more disappointed. I came across your vid because I wanted to take a look into the reality of transmen and the lives they lead. I think we know a bit much about transwomen

You're so nice, I think you make a great role model to anyone considering transitioning.

@MeikoEliasXavier Your very welcome, keep up the great work : )

This video makes some very good points. A lot of these questions and concepts could be applied to the dynamic between flamboyant gay guys/drag queens vs. transwomen. Oh and by the way you're a sexy beast :3
