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.

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.

@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.

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.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
    • missyjo
      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all
    • Ashley0616
      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      I suppose both sides can claim a win they didn't get.

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
