"whoever the fuck turns me on" love it!

This is a good vid, I didn't really realize that you can get the stuff done all out of order. I would probably get hysterectomy first.. that way if i ever regretted it it wouldn't really be too much of an "oops"

Im pretty feminine.

Sorry about your dysphoria.

haha, word. i just go for whoever is attractive physically and intellectually to me.

yep, you can transition in pretty much any order you want. and you can go as far as you would like to, and you can even remain no-ho/lo-ho.

do what feels comfortable for you.

How bizarre; I'm also a trans man and was diagnosed with aspergers as a young child. I have intense interests, as well, and I have been obsessive with film sometimes.

Your thoughts about the different types of transsexuals (which is basically endless) are very enlightening and very much on par with mine.

[charlesasher]

that is bizarre. i just started a book on autism tonight too, which makes it even more coincidental.

i'm glad you could get something out of the vid.

You have Asperger's, Charles? Me too! I've always wondered how the two (being trans and being an Aspie) are going to work out when I get further on in my life and transitioning. The two seem very similar to me in some regards (you know, feeling awkward and out of place, scared of being discovered and made fun of), and one has to become comfortable and proud of both (which I'm working on).

[charlesasher]

i do. it has been very interesting transitioning and at first feeling even more cut off from the world than i was and now being more educated about it, self aware, and therefore be able to handle it better.

See you're pretty cool because you are genuine and you know how to just be yourself. You don't put other trans people down just because they are not trans the same way as other people. I think we have to stop the trans on trans hate and just love each other and be a community. Thanks for contributing to that. You're awesome!

You are definitely a hero of mine. When dysphoria gets to me and things seem hopeless I usually get on YouTube and watch a couple of your vids. I'm a pre-everything transguy (except for the way I dress) and at 17 years old, it feels like a long way to freedom. I can't transition until I'm out of college (or my parents won't pay for school), and I can't afford to transition unless I go to college. Life's hard sometimes, you just have to look to the future for hope.

You have Asberger's? That's bloody amazing. Asbergy transmen, unite!

Rock on. \m/

[xQUEERKIDx]

You ARE my hero.

Rock N Roll!

You have endless opportunities to date whoever you want!

I'm called "TRADE" at my gay club I go to.

I love the attention I get from gay men/trans/drags...

Like I said Rock N Roll!!!

Polysexual? Pan means all, and omni means all (in slightly different ways) but poly just means many and doesn't define in any particular way who those many are.

It's interesting that some transpeople, who by definition must think outside the box just to know their own gender identity, are the ones seeking to use or fit into a more narrow definition of gender. Your message (that every version is okay) is so obvious, yet it's like people (trans or not) need to hear it to realise it's true.
