I am on YouTube, but I haven't updated it in a long time. My ID is farmerbruce90. I know y'all have been requesting a voice training video, and I've been working on it, but every time I do it it's too long. I'll try to do it today and break it down into parts.

What is it with transpeople vlogging?

You go on youtube and there are like fifty bizillion of them, all talking about their personal transition, how they've been lately, how long they've been on T, etc.

I just don't understand it. And I don't see it in any in other groups of people. (of course, I might not be looking in the right places) Is it like a weird... thing? Does vlogging tap into a part of our transsexual brains that make us feel better in some way? Or do people think, "Oh, I'm going to go on youtube and fascinate people with the story of how my voice changes and the time the DMV lost my license change application!" or something like that?

Not to rain on your guys' parade, or anything. I don't have a youtube account, and I don't really go on except to occasionally look up funny videos.

If it suits you, I don't really care. I'm just wondering what it is about it that's so appealing, especially to transpeople. (Unless there is like, a legion of... Mexican vloggers or something like that I don't know about. I just made up Mexican, you can switch it with whatever you want)

Dude. What's your deal? What's it to you if every transperson on the planet has a vlog? If you don't like it and don't care, by all means, don't watch.

I personally find the transition vlogs interesting and informative. They've made my own transition less mysterious and scary. I'm grateful that there were some who took the time to post things on YouTube. It benefits the community.

A lot of people who aren't trans have vlogs. Go to YouTube and type vlog. I went through several and there were no transpeople to be found. Here's a fact: we live in a digital age where people love to put themselves on display, particularly the under 25 crowd. There's Twitter, so everyone can know when you are in a meeting or at the store or in the bathroom. You can update your status on Facebook, so everyone can marvel at your rapier wit. Well, there's also YouTube vlogging, which is just an extension of that general trend. YouTube is HUGE. The president is on there!

I'd be willing to bet that the proportion of transpeople that have vlogs is similar to the number of people in the general public that have vlogs. In terms of absolute number, I'm guessing that the total number of nontrans folks that have vlogs WAY, WAY outnumbers the number of transpeople that have them. Why? Because there are more people who aren't trans than people who are. You've seen a lot of trans blogs. Now you are neglecting the base rate. It's okay. We all do it. Kahneman and Tversky (1996), yo.... (sorry, nerd reference)

If you go on there and look for trans vlogs, you'll find a lot. If you aren't looking for them, you probably aren't too likely to happen upon them. Why do trans vlogs talk about transition? It's probably because that's what's going on in their lives right now. For nontrans people it is other stuff, like school, friends, etc...

What's so attractive to transpeople? I'm guessing it is the same thing that is attractive to everyone else. It's like a blog or a journal. You're just talking about what's going on in your life, stuff that interests you, whatever.

There's a legion of Mexican vloggers!

There's a legion of Portuguese vloggers!

There's a legion of college student vloggers!

There's a legion of Christian vloggers!

There's probably isn't a legion of Icelandic vloggers, but mostly because there aren't all that many people in Iceland.

Cool out with the negative energy, man. Chill.

Sorry. I do that sometimes. (It's happened several times before actually, like with religion and stuff. I kind of attack and rip down in an attempt to understand) :P I tried to make it not negative, I guess I failed, well, maybe not totally since Keane got it. (But I guess I failed at looking, too. I've only seen like two other non-trans vlogs, and one of them was for a singer.) I guess it's because the people who are trans make theirs specifically trans, like the code words you search for are always like "transsexual FTM transition vlog." I guess other groups of people don't say they're specifically writing about what group they are? Like "My life" instead of "My transsexual life."

But, yeah, thanks for catching me in my attack-ness. Y lo siento a todos. (Sorry to everyone. In Mexican) :P

      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Emotional trauma, also known as psychological trauma, is an emotional response to a distressing event that's outside the normal range of human experiences. It can be caused by a single event or a series of events that make someone feel unsafe or helpless, and can have a mental impact that's just as harmful as physical injuries.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Willow · Posted

      Good morning   We are going to be attending a different congregation today.  I particularly wanted to meet Cee Cee Armstrong, our minister’s co-moderator partner.  Her church is about 2 hours away.  So we will be leaving in about 30 minutes.  She knows we are coming.   going along with what was written yesterday goes the question “Am I trans enough?”  And all I can say to those who ask that question is that there is no defined answer as to what is enough, just as there is no answer to what is too much.  We are all different.  We are all marching down this road together.

      Hi... wow. Random question.

      By NoEli6 · Posted

      TW: Violent hate crime   Hi Been... a good long while since I've popped up here. Made some friends. All trans girls. They're lovely and supportive. But one of them... a couple times now, she's made comments dismissing pains of being FtM (such as binder pain) with a response of something along the lines of "well, we (trans woman) get murdered." She gave a lengthy, heartfelt, absolutely wonderful apology for it that I appreciated so damn much. But, -expletive-, man, something about those comments stuck with me I guess? I'm not hurt by what she said anymore because she apologized sincerely and explained she never meant any harm and I wholeheartedly accept her apology.  But something about that... has just been weighing on me. I think it may just be the guilt of privilege? But, a little deeper than that, wanting to be seen for my struggles, too. Trans women get so much coverage and visibility compared to trans men (which this friend has also contested in the past...?) and I think a part of me is just... I don't know, I feel awful because it feels insensitive to imply that "oh, I've got it harder, don't you see?" but I think I just want to be recognized for the fact that I'm SO -censored- scared of being hatecrimed. I don't pass- she does! And yet she talks about how her group gets violently hatecrimed more often and I'm just like... I don't know. She's white, too, as am I, both middle class Californians as well, neither of us are extremely at risk here. I don't even know what I'm feeling here. I just want to vent, I want some advice, I want someone to tell me how to feel. Is it true that trans man rarely ever get hatecrimed? That doesn't feel real.    I don't know if this is something similar to white guilt, just guilt for having privilege, or if this has a deeper root, I'm just so... torn up, for no reason, about these things that she's said.    Part of it could be that she, and my two other friends, are all on HRT, while I've been stuck in a household that won't allow any medical transition till I'm 18 for 3 years and another one to wait. And that I can't talk about that. Because I feel like I'll bring down the mood. And that my dysphoria hasn't gotten easier, I'm still as -toasted- up as ever over it, but I feel the need to sit in silence instead and on top of that have to constantly hear my friends talk about small annoyances regarding HRT that I would KILL TO HAVE.    Now I'm just ranting. I think there's a lot of mixed up feelings here. Let me know if anyone relates to the guilt thing, though. Would appreciate it. Thanks y'all. Sorry for disappearing. Glad to be back.

      Facial hair

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      I know it's frustrating to hear, but you have to be patient. 5 weeks is nothing. It can take years to grow facial hair. Even then, you may be unlucky and not get much. Everyone's body reacts differently to T. You just have to be patient and let T do it's thing.

      Any reason HRT might not have an effect?

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      I've been on T for 6yrs now, my levels are good. But I still don't pass very well, I look very feminine. I have top surgery already.   I can't tell if it's bad luck/genetics or if there is some reason why T might not "work" on me. The only thing it has done well is lower my voice. Everything else, not so much. I have a bit more muscle, and a tiny bit of chin scruff. That's it.   Is there any medical reason why T might not have much of an effect? I asked my PA and they didn't know.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Thank you for the welcome. :)   As an adult I don't actually get much (if any) hate directed at me. As a kid/teen I got discriminated against and ostracized. And online is crazy with hatred. But in real life I just keep to myself and that tends to make others not bother you. I think I get a double take from someone every so often, but I don't get stared at or anything. I do get called ma'am sometimes which sucks and is embarrassing.    I like the positive self-talk, saying that you are trans, you shouldn't have the same "expectations" as if you were cis. Some trans people are lucky, some of us are not. I'm not. The only thing I got lucky with is my voice. Everything else, nope.   I will try and remind myself that I'm just trying to live my life, I didn't choose to be born this way, I don't need to be embarrassed of myself in every situation.
