I think doing something like this is quite useful, not only for yourself, but any others that decide to follow along as well. You are showing great strength and courage by doing this. Have fun with this experience.

The YouTube channel is very important to me. I mainly made it for my mental well being as despite having people on this site I struggle to find people to speak too IRL so at least here when I speak to myself other people can see too. 

 

I'll be posting more videos soon.  I hope I don't run out of topics to discuss.

Hi Sophie,

 

The YouTube videos are a great idea.  Not only will they help you, but they provide other people with a realistic insight into what it means to be a trans person.

 

I look forward to future instalments.

 

Robin.

Thank you @Robin I'm going to try to keep up with weekly videos and updates regarding the process and more importantly my frame of mind through each section.

Sophie, when you do your videos, don't just think of it as speaking to yourself. I promise you people will be watching, some from within the TransCloset, some for pure curiosity, and others for HATE. The best tip I can give you about the HATERS is: Block them, don't take them to heart. You will need to develop thick skin for the HATERS. The sad thing about putting yourself out there for others to see, haters are more vocal and seem to out number your supporters. The truth is that you have more people supporting you than you know because they're afraid to speak up. I'm looking forward to watching you grow.

 

Best wishes, stay positive and safe.

@Mmindy I've not had any haters yet. 100% likes on everyday video so far which I'm very impressed by. However, I'm prepared for any hate. 

 

Internet hate I can handle, I've been on the internet beat for a long time. It's the IRL hate I'm concerned about but I'm sure as long as I have friends going through similar issues IRL then I'll get through it just with that support.

I uploaded a new video about what my biggest fears are about transitioning

Just caught up on your videos.  You're amazing, Sophie.  I could never do that on YouTube and I'm further along.  That first one had me in tears.  So proud!  Keep them coming.

[Just Lee]

Brilliant Sophie!

I know it took a lot of courage to get that out here but you did it! 

[Sophie Watson]

@Tori M awh sorry. It's usually me crying in between the cuts, it's often times so hard to hold it all together whilst I make these videos. 

 

@Just Lee I'll need some more of that courage to tell the rest of the family but im all out right now.

[Just Lee]

You have the courage to endure, which is the strongest of all. 

[Heather Nicole]

Thanks for sharing! I'm a bit late to the party here, but I love youtube trans blogs (even if sometimes they make me feel so unbearably envious I could just burst!) I'll definitely check it out!

Hi Sophie,

 

I am enthusiastically following your videos every week.  As you recently discussed, it takes a lot of searching to find down to earth information on trans issues.  Many stories on the internet are of the "I changed from Rambo into a Disney princess in only six months (or vice versa)" variety.

 

I am glad to see that you are recovering well from you recent illness.

 

Robin.
