Bruh looks amazing I’d seriously want your number if I saw you in person
June 17th2024...Gee I wish you'd do an update .....
I live in Chilliwack bc and I’m waiting for my doctor to call me to start the process. This video gave me hope! I’m struggling a lot right now and just want to be on hormones so bad!
I don't support this anymore. I've pulled a total 180.
Wym
@@beansya8967 Guess
when I realized I was a girl, i was somebody would help me and pray to wake up as a girl. But I kept it secret and eventualy forgot
At 1:02 when he's putting the binder on you can see red marks from the tape haha.
I've been on t for 3 months and it feels like nothing has happened. I'm on the gel. I'm also 40 but they said that shouldn't be a issue.
Hi. I’m a huge fan of your channel. Btw, I have the exact same haircut as you
So u think I can pass
Damn man I aint good at talking in front of a bunch of people in the first place but to do this? Shit dawg youre amazing
Do you have any videos on backpacking while being trans?
I'm in the UK. Takes a while to get.

Freakish
There is no need to pull back and check for blood anymore. It causes unnecessary trauma to the muscular tissue
Love your story and your story telling. Kudos to you for sharing it 🥰
Great advice and you guys are funny 🤣 I love it 😅
Don’t forget to sign up for selective service
🏳️⚧️🖕
Wtf
Tucker looks like Jakob Ingebrigtsen, thats cool.😎
If you find you are getting pimples drink lots of water
We’re literally wearing the same button down lol
i also only draw male characters like all the time 💀
did anyone else try to pee standing up all the time 💀 cuz for like a year i did that every time i went to the bathroom until i realized it wasn’t working very well 💀💀💀
Bro all the ftm still be acting mad feminine! Dude u still being a woman so its sooo confusing!!
I ADORED httyd as a kid and every Christmas/B-Day I wanted a new figure to play with. My parents were always rlly cool with it but I remember my Aunt refusing to get me one as a present because it was “ugly” and a “boy’s toy”. I also used to rush to the boys sections of Toys R Us every single time lol (Pointless info but the dragon I wanted from my Aunt was the Alpha Bewilderbeast from httyd 2 and I will be be buying for myself as an adult now. :)
Yo feet got smaller. 😂
Thank you for this, it was great! I know it was like, 6 years ago.
i appreciate how insightful you are even as young as you are... there are a lot of people who could benefit from your way of thinking.
The human body is an amazing and resilient system. Even after all this intervention she remains female
I was trying to pass at that age but the best answer I've found is just simply "no." Silence is good too but I like "no."
Upper outer quadrant of buttock is the best place in my opinion. It doesn't hurt much at all and if you stick to upper outer quadrant, you won't hit the sciatic nerve (which runs down the middle of each buttock).
She forgot to check for air bubbles in the syringe.
Lmao
Might need to consider the little puncture helper. I feel like when it's the moment of taking the shot, I don't have the guts to actually push the needle in. I don't have a problem if someone else injects me and I don't have to watch what's going on.. I get anxious when I gotta check my blood sugar with the little device, but I feel like I can sorta practice with it, (ofcourse not overuse checking the lvls). I want to get comfortable with this, as it is the gates to happiness for me at some point in the future
Hope you’re well!
Generally speaking and in my opinion, changing your genitals is really twisted if you think about it. This new generation thinks they can change what God gave them and I think it makes me ill.
Hi
Wait this was a woman?
I hope no one has to go through this, but getting arrested can be truly horrible. From being frisked to undressing in front of strangers (bend over and cough) or having to hand over a packer with all other belongings. Plus being put in solitaire confinement. I know it's for our "protection" but still sucks.
THAT'S IT! I"M TRIGGERED, NO MORE BUD LIGHT! (Actually good for you! Just had to put that stupid reaction.)
The only part of my body that I actually like is my hair lol
How did u develop an Adam’s apple ?
Testosterone
Women have adam’s apples, they’re just not visible because afab people (assigned female at birth) have smaller vocal cords hence the more higher voice. And amab people (assigned male at birth) have larger vocal chords, hence the deeper voice. Trans men can have adam’s apples, and trans women can have Adam’s apples. Even cos women have adam’s apples, it’s just genetics.
Hey! Updates?
Ty for this video. You're so chill
When I do find a new name, I don’t really care if my family or old friends would call me my given name, I’m just planning to have it as my middle name so I can just say that ppl used to call me by my middle name
I went by max for awhile, it’s rly hard because I’ve never met or heard or a max that hasn’t or wouldn’t make fun of me. It was a spur of the moment kinda thing, nobody calls me that anymore tho lmao idk why I’m telling y’all this
