Re: Will the Transexual Community Please Help Me Out?

Video Cam Direct Upload I'd really like to get some different responses to Sapphicowl's video if you all could help me out. She posted a video asking about surgery and what it means to us. I'd like everyone to comment or post to her and give her your thoughts. It's not often that we have a chance to speak to things unless we are speaking to other transpeople it seems.

Hey Meghan, I noticed Funnehness posted a rather desparate/frantic comment here about 2 months ago and being curious I went to her channel and shock-horror, noticed she has not signed in for the same length of time. Have you heard from her?

[MeghansLife]

No, I have not heard from Kyle. I find that that's kind of how Youtube and the internet are. Many times people come here and make a page and comment a few times, make a few videos and then they just disappear. It can be frustrating at times because you worry about people. I've had that happen with people I've known quite often. Hopefully everything is ok with Kyle and they've just been really busy with real life. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.

Oh Meghan! Seriously, you express what we all go through and feel so amazingly well. Thank you for being so eloquent and honest. No pressure or anything but it seems to me every civil rights movement need it's own MLK or Mandela. Can you please volunteer for the job? Only joking. But you are the best possible spokeswoman for our community I can imagine!

Like I said, only joking. The important thing is how you feel about yourself. Look after that incredibly special person first!

Loveya!

You have the face and the voice.

To be completely honest if you did not tell me I would never of known, and I am not just saying that to be nice either.

[traderjoes]

This is really very interesting and I never heard what you said voiced in just that way. Clearly you are an extraordinarily deep thinker and it's quite refreshing to hear this thought process. By the way, you do pass haha. If I (male) had not been aware of your true gender, I would never have assumed you were anything but a female. :)

I only created my channel in November 2009, so I'm pretty new to YouTubing. But, yes, like you I do worry about people. I guess I need to grow a thicker skin or simply adopt more of an approach that not everyone is similar to me. What I mean by this is that I'm here for the long haul to share my experiences, help others where I can and share information and construct a support network. Anyway, thanks Meghan for your speedy reply.

***hugs*** Rachael

I know this video was put up a while ago now, but Meghan, what a brilliantly well thought out and easy to understand response.

On another note, the passability factor is something I think about a lot too. Hope my genetics are good.

As for GRS, I'm with you on this, in that I would be getting it done totally for my own feeling of well being and also to be as close as I can possibly be to a genetic female. Being born in the wrong body is so much more than a mere inconvenience. **hugs** Rachael

Please please help me i need help.. I am a 15 year old transsexual male to female... My name is Kyle.. I need help bad.. Please please please someone help me

[darliegoddess]

I totally agree with you , SRS is for you . it's why I had it. I don't even know how to describe why it gives me comfort but it does. I'm not ill when I look in the mirror now when I am naked. It's wonderful.

[choongbren]

omg you look good

[SapphicOwl]

Thanks so much for your response Meghan. And for the record, you do pass. Also for the record, I don't see anyone who goes through GRS as tricking anyone...I just wanted to understand the thought process that people undertake beforehand. Your video makes a lot of sense and I'm glad you have the opportunity to correct the way you are and see yourself as best you can, through surgery and whatnot.

[SapphicOwl]

Well maybe not just as many. since there's not a lot, but there are a lot.
