[Guest harvester52]

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.

[Guest Crossroads]

jdxad on youtube...still working on getting my first few videos up, though.

[Guest Nekomata]

I recently took my videos down and deleted my youtube account because I was tired of random people's personal attacks.

[Guest Tayler]

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.

One of the ways to control what people say is to moderate all comments. That way you can weed out the crap. I also limit what people can do for the videos and such.

[Guest Zabrak]

I normally just browse with a random account on youtubes but maybe I'll set up a better one later.

[Guest Tammy Maher]

I am starting a vblog, 42Rockchess

Keane if you have any suggestions on what to vblog about or what run something by me just pm/email me.

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.

[Guest Zabrak]

I don't vlog only because I'm too lazy, but I enjoy watching other peoples.

Anyway, I just wanted to agree with strand and say Love, Peace and Chicken greese! *gives manly hugs to everyone, ducks for cover from any punches comming his way*

He's just wondering chillllllllllllllll bros.

[Guest CharlieRose]

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) 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)
