I was born female, I don't have periods and by your logic anybody dressing like a girl is screwed up in the head even the girls...

TheFinalfantsy You have no rights

You don't understand about transgender...

They want be a girl or a boy by trap in a boy or a girl body

People were being born with the wrong gender but rare I don't blame people born with the wrong gender this is why

I'm FTM and do agree that there is a huge gap we need to fix, I do watch a lot of MTF videos (not usually comment) and have some MTF internet friends but I'm not really involved with that community. But I would like to see our brothers and sisters come closer, so I shall take it upon myself to get everyone else involved.

I had felt irritation with MTFs in the past for exactly the reason you listed, jealousy and frustration. Here were these people giving up what I wanted to take on what I despised. Since I've come out and accepted myself as trans though, that irritation has gone away, and I'm a huge MTF supporter. I love you girls. :-) I've learned a lot from various transwomen, and I agree that we all need to bridge that gap more than we do. Great video!

Fantastic video. I feel that gap between the FtM and MtF communities as well, and it saddens me because the transwomen I've interacted with have been some of the most wonderful people I've had the privilege to meet. We most definitely have plenty to learn from each other, and doing so could help a lot with that jealousy of the differences between surgeries/hormones. Now I'm rambling, but thank you for this. :)

I like that you kind of worded all of my thoughts regarding looking at the "other side". For me, I can't understand for the life of me how MTFs think. How they can WANT boobs and all that jazz. But then I thought "Hey, there's always two sides".

And though hormones are supposedly giving FTMs a lot more changes (I'm pre-everything), I feel really jealous of MTFs. It feels like it's so much easier to stuff and give the appearance of having breasts than it is to bind and try to hide it.

I really liked this video. I'm FtM, and my girlfriend is actually MtF. Sometimes we get really jealous of each other's body, especially since we're both pre-everything. But it's also been really good for us. We've given each other some of our old clothes. We taught each other about sizing, too. We're both 100% out, so there are no problems there. But she does pass a lot more than I do, so a lot of random people think we're lesbians. But people at school think we're the cutest couple, anyway. ^_^

Yeah, as a FtM person I understand that first point. I often think when I look at a trans girl "Why would you give that up??" but of course it doesn't take long for me to get it. And I blushed when you said trans guys are hot :D

[SkinninMacKinnon]

yeah the disconnect between trans guys and trans girls is strange to me but also makes sense...

I just briefly dated a trans woman and that was a good experience for me.

Would you ever date a trans guy?

[DemyGuerriero]

...

Transguys feel the same way as you do.

Trust me, I am one. '-' But you make sense.. You do.
