Posted one minute ago and only has seven views… She fell off hard😭

I knew I was trans for years but the "If I come out I have to explain it to people" thing stopped me for so long despite how many pros there were for me. Social pressure is crazy

As someone who isn't binary trans, it's cool seeing Finn's additional perspective.

I just cut my hair and also cut myself bangs and im sitting here with black dye in my hair and I click on the vid and realise I accidentally stole your hairstyle. Sorryy it was an accident I swear

"What if-" is really the question that scares me the most. Being a 60 year old bald, soggy f*ck and asking myself that.

Take it from me, who started transitioning at 34, the 'what if' will make you miserable. I am the happiest tgirl ever now.

finn 🤝 icky
looking the exact same without makeup

Icky: "I don't have a dad any more"
F1nn's "My grandma died"
You two are great. Mix of wholesome, inspiring and silly. I mean, my condolences for the grandma, just F1nn's line was funny in context

I think I was gonna go for it already, but the "I'll regret not doing this" argument really wasn't on my mind up until now and that might have just pushed me over the edge in being certain

That "good girl" at the end... i NEED IT

Initially I was really caught off guard by Finn announcing his transition, but after watching his and Ashley’s recent videos talking abt it and sharing perspectives, seeing the trans joy from a trans girl like Ashley and a genderfluid guy like Finn make me so incredibly hopeful and happy :D

The editing on this video is insane.

One of the reasons I almost didn't transition: my existence being a talking point, from the phobic to the patronizers. Sort of made it feel like I wouldn't be seen as a person

My con list was:
1) boobs would ruin swimming and relationships
2) fertility / genetic family
3) harder to get good-paying jobs
4) having to tell people
5) possible social transition
6) taking space away from someone who really needs it
Pros:
1) might like my photos again
2) can wear what I want and not have to stop
3) not feel like I'm decaying
4) gesture how I want / stop self-censoring

Well, I waited 18 more years and started a family in the meantime. Boobs were scary but I find them good/comforting now. Job interviews were kind of an issue post-transition. Telling people was scary. Tried not to socially transition even after HRT but I started passing in guy clothes which was scary but I told people and came out at work frightened as hell as...everyone was nice about it. Now it's just a fact of life. Impostor syndrome took ages though.

Like my photos, like feeling like I won't turn into an old man, like moving how I want, attiring myself how I want (including sloppily), no sad end to girl-moding, a lot of peace.

Just wish the gender critical ideology activists would leave us the hell alone.

Voice is all in the mind, it's more like letting go of your old voice than training a new one

I wrote a list too, and didnt really come up with any negatives, but i think I overestimated my family... My dad rejected me too, but its really messed me up, Ive also lost my two sisters, i just have my mom but she lives with my dad and doesn't have much power, so im not allowed home. I love being trans, im becoming the person i allways wanted to be, but losing most of my family has really f'd me up tbh, courage to anyone who has lost family 💗

I knew I was trans when I was 4.
That was 1968.
Because I knew this and I was into acting and media anyway, I always worked to make sure that I kept the high range of my voice so I could do "voice work", which I have but the ultimate reason was for the day I could finally transition. I was finally able to start around two years ago and have been on hormones for almost a year. Im actually bi-gender and feel the happiest I've ever been.
It's definitely different transitioning later in life. Im kinda jealous of all the young trans people on YouTube but we had we had to put in a LOT of work for things to get to this point.

Funny story: when I was starting to suspect I might be trans, my partner at the time (who would later tell me they suspected I was trans for the last 6 years) suggested I make one of these pros/cons lists.  And that’s what finally cracked my egg.  Not by weighing up the two sides, but in making the list one of the items was about “how I feel around other women.”  …. other women.   Looking at that, I was like “well! I guess that answers that!”

Icky's cons were pretty much the same as mine when I was still second guessing myself. The issue wasn't anything to do with actually transitioning and the effects of HRT. It was other people. Once I realized that I was just "F--- 'em". Spite can be a good motivator. :D

Ashley is natural and beautiful.
