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.

I'm on there second account because the first was attacked by co-workers... why they would be on youtube during working hours is beyond me. Anyway Morbidphoenixandvamp is my name. I'm not so good at updating.

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

      @KathyLauren This is how the jurors broke down the award:     Being labeled as a molester and sexual pervert can and has done that much actual damage in terms of repair of the damage through a wide variety of means including legal fees and loss of livelihood in any job or profession.  As this said the idea of "reckless disregard for the truth" means that the performer was able to show a level of damage that will affect him now and in the future.  The $900K+ figure was a matter of real evidence of the damage.

      Well, it has been an interesting morning.  I stayed home from service to take care of a partner.  She's the youngest of us, and I'm usually not her first choice for affection.  But this morning she curled up in my lap right before breakfast, and told me she was feeling ill.  And then threw up on me about 30 seconds later....   I guess the smell of the food is what did it, poor thing.  On a hunch, she took a pregnancy test and.... yep.    She's been married to our husband for 10 years, and this will be her 6th, so I'm happy for her.  We took a shower and she got back in our nest to sleep some more, which is probably the best medicine of all.  Maybe she'll feel better this afternoon. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Article said $250,000 of it was "punitive."  To me, seems like the whole thing was punitive...which I don't think is appropriate at all. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Biden himself is driving that "divisive wedge."  Could have done without the anti-gun garbage in his statement....it makes it seem like all LGBTQ+ folks agree with their agenda.  Which simply isn't true, and makes life difficult (and unsafe) for those of us who prefer to live in rural (and non-Democrat) areas.  Pride month would be happier for many (and more socially accepted) if it could somehow be separated from ancillary political issues. 
    • KathyLauren
      I haven't seen the ruling, but it is unlikely that the entire amount was for actual damages.  The majority was likely punitive, as it should be.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Unless somehow this caused a million dollars worth of damage to somebody's livelihood or life, the amount of this judgement seems excessive.  Not something I would call "uplifting" or anything to be pleased about.

      Thanks so much, @Ivy Good to hear good sense about this. —Davie

      You do have what are called Receptor Cells in your body, that take the T or E and actually put them to work structuring your body.  I learned about this from a genetics study being done through the University Of California that I took part in through a Transgender Conference I attended.  Turned out  that my actual T receptor cells had some extra bits of protein in their make-up that they knew inhibited certain (unknown specifically) functions of the hormones.  My Endocrinologist even commented that he was not as concerned about what my blood levels were because the level in my blood stream was not doing anything, it was what the receptor cells did with it that mattered.    That said though, to me it seems like your T actually has done a pretty good job on you from what you say.  Just like my direction of MtF, males come in so many different editions, shapes, and sizes that to me you would fit in there just fine, maybe not in your personal ideal of masculinity, but you seem to fit in the box pretty well from what you are saying.  I  would get back with your Gender Therapist for a bit to get help on self acceptance of where you are.

      Good morning everyone,    It’s another rainy cool morning here in central Indiana so in spite of getting up at 06:30 to quickly get Parker outside to do his business, then scoop him up some kibble and fill his water bowl. We’ve been cat napping with the Smithsonian Channel streaming Arial America.    Well said @Willow about being Trans Enough.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🐛🦋

      Thanks you for posting.  Is Eli your chosen name?  I'm not surprised that you have heard the complaints of MTF folks and their struggles.  We all see our own struggles as being the worst.  That being said i've known quite few trans men who have gone through a great struggle.  While our social difficulties are real i have found finding peace with myself has been every bit as hard if not harder in the long run.  That has little or nothing to do with passing.       I definitely am privileged as an educated white person in an accepting area.  I have to accept that as well.       As to HRT, the time will come if that is the path you change.  Facial hair, as well as body hair, a deep voice and slight but powerful physical changes will eventually allow you to pass.  As i waited to start hormones i found it was a time when i could start the long path towards self acceptance.  I will never be a cis woman and finding peace with that can still be a challenge for any trans person.   Hugs,   Charlize
