5:32 am
the i the set scans and then this one then have a so much lindsey, but it's possible for me to go to and i walk across the street and people look at me and want to categorize me as a man and i've always, um, whenever i'm out in public and i noticed that i'm seeing is a man that people address me. is that some young man that's money. if i log in, i'm about to business. that's what people think when they look at my body type this cup a bit it's, that's what i want it and want to achieve advice and video to it's been the full
5:33 am
mismatch. all glazing savannah, i'm very happy not to be seen as a woman any more. how about being seen as a man isn't quite right either to this, if any of us put the most people don't see that there's another option in housing, but there are more than just to generalize the the mist mentioned. i know that most people aren't being mean funded. they just don't understand about what happens over and over and over again in the past. i find it exhausting to endure all the time. oh, so how does this my, how long is this is my hormone jumps. me didn't talk of like i'm putting it on my arms every day for a year now. and it's me, my voice deeper. must this one to stand. i can grow beer down. just move on to the next the
5:34 am
hello. my name is calvin. this happens. i mean, i'm booked up. i'll tell you it's yeah. basically just the way she gets. yeah. try it because if it's yeah, thank you soon. see it's been hard to hear via the kind of hard today because i'm due for a mistake. let me check up. i have everything removed in the doctor's checking to make sure everything is here. well, of course i must be a mice and i'm, i'm crap. i understood enough because they bothered me most about my body apart from my voice, with the breasts for stick simply because i couldn't. i defeated because it was too much. and then people says that, oh my god, you must be a woman because there are presence there. uh, when i go to move center calls, i'm going to buy a house on this not i'll ask them give. it was just an area that i never considered
5:35 am
my body cup that never belonged to me, but that was never a part of i need the tires from you and the surface with him and make me sense. i always wanted to go and cut. i believe my own body should make me feel comfortable and secure. she lives on the system is at the bottom from the in the as soon as i found out that there was something i could do about that this, it was very liberating the civic some but us be, once i knew it was possible that i could do it, i don't like, it was clear to me that i wanted to go through with kind of this my home on the inside of my milk science. build us all the photos of the really don't like seeing photos of me where the breasts are still clearly visible. along the name, i don't like boxiness because i just see a completely different person under because of a stranger theme you sent us. on this, we don't want to present myself that way either who's present to you in the state. that's why i'm covering my face a little bit of this stuff because it just doesn't feel good. the brothers,
5:36 am
i had to scroll down through the middle of it to button the citizens, but for us to wear like having a 3rd arm or something finished or something completely wrong in my body, i couldn't touch the lesson that's consistent. when i looked down at myself when i just thought it was terrible, i really couldn't cope with it it on there was something i hid from everyone on his stomach throwing himself there along it on the suspect in albany. robin, would you come with me? hello. hello. hello, thank you my, i'm, are you okay this way, right in here by the end of the via phone and take a seat here on the left. perfect. how are you? how to get in doing great so far? yeah, yes. i assume your quality of life is improvement on the image, but yeah, yes, very much cover. my body feels completely different to me and i can touch it all and it feels good and feels like me. oh, you're close to probably. yeah, yeah, totally haven't the shirt wouldn't work before because my shoulders are broader now in the ones who need different sized clothes last night in class. i'll have to
5:37 am
figure out where to find something that fits managed by spending time with me. stadium. well, it looks good on you, you wear it. well. actually i'd like to see how things are looking right now for that. i would ask you to take off your share on 5. so let's let's estimate assessment for the categories. the 1st time i saw my flight upper body was at the hospital for hours after surgery and still p shawn. i didn't have a mirror, but i just had to change it as i could put down the front. when i noticed that these mountains were gone, i'm a kind of the academic and then i could see my belly button. i'm just going to be involved in out of the yes. why it felt like so i'm coming home actually. that's this, this. the scars have faded quite a bit. i notice there's a bit of stretching here. right. so yeah, probably because i'm right handed. assigned to that, so it looks like you massage this well in the meantime, as i recommended to think how i think the scores will get better with time association fee can continue massaging them. overall,
5:38 am
i think your upper body looks more masculine and it suits you very well. thank you . the 55th, always pretty tough and i think for those with this issue, the most important thing is simply to be accepted. they don't want to take away anybody else's freedom. they just want to be appreciated and accepted in their own freedom of. this isn't some kind of frivolous process. it involves getting many expert opinions, changing your legal status, and who knows what else of each other. it's just not something you decide to do on a whim. try that, that should be well, if you need anything, come back any time to eat outside. thank you. thank you. and if i'm not a new person, my personality is still the same. but this shadow self is finally gone. as i skipped the fellow to design, there are those who say i just want attention and sometimes is specifically about being unknown binary personal identity and gauge about. so when you look at how long the journey i embarked on really use them on this,
5:39 am
on what it takes to get where i am now, then is that it's just so much worse when they didn't choose this come or spin. this is sophia and no, i don't want to 10 or 9 semester kind of make some kind of just name list. i didn't go through with all these operations just to get some attention off. my son cut the human side. so applies in young time when i was between 13 and 23 was the worst of my life. even my not just one of my old school advice and images i was in the middle and high school here for 5 or 6 years from 6 out along a dial fedloan bank. they're on the blue bench and that's where our cost would hang out at lunchtime. but it was always an outside or in the loan, a bunch of other images up. so that brings back old emotions as a new field. i'll just
5:40 am
have to kind of each one, and i only have any friends because they all thought it was weird illusion. and my classmates would often just make up words to tease me. yeah, i think i forgot to put it in one word, for example, was farmer. because i didn't shave my legs, sign well, it was considered on high genex some end of the a tough on its own conflict. guided me about few people made fun of me. that would be invited to a party that wasn't even have the rest of them. and for this one, so in the patio and so for an option that will be taught to i'm using this and that you can further on, you know, started when i was young, i realized i didn't fit in with the girls and i didn't fit in with the boys, the girls just did girl stuff and i found it strange mass fun this problem, but i wasn't at home with the boys either and used by the office. so i didn't know
5:41 am
where i belonged to him. as a family at the time he spoke to me, i still haven't processed that yet. it's deep within me. so it's not teeth. and it's been like i used to put me in the couldn't talk to my parents, family or friends is a kind of work because i didn't know how to put it into words. that is, this is mr. news. what's what i'm going to, i didn't fit in anywhere. he was sort of stuck in limbo because i couldn't stand out. so i started trying to fit in with the girls because that's where i supposedly belong. i had a, i'm trying to find me a little food was anchored and i look at a photo is it's always very strange mac. i think that's the best word for it. the
5:42 am
best of what the feel via because i know that's me and that's part of my past, but i've lost my connection to the savannah, forgotten i had good about it, have to defend, so federal one. i don't talk about myself as a girl either each and because i never was want to. i never was, i never will be or it's bonnie ions is that only and sign and that's why i don't use my old name any more important because it's just not relevant anymore now, but of this, i feel so much kind of the events of me on this one, so i was, i us could soon understand some point in 2018. i left home and i thought to myself, hey, i don't know any people who work. we're in the mentioned to korea. and i came across course 41 in frankfurt stores and then from 1st the 3 of us you sent for queer youth center, a safe place for people who work a bi, sexual, a sexual trans or non veneer tongue. so who's been as ins gonna for me all started here, 2 and a half years ago, the youngest on the phone. yeah,
5:43 am
it's just as estimate here, the 1st time i was here, there was an introductory meeting that was at that meeting that i met people who were unclear for the 1st time. i asked my yellow, tingling to confusing um once i more importantly people who are trained, some were like me, diesels, and the is my little world kind of explode and events and it was like, wow, i think on trans to slope. but i'm not a trans ma'am. i've just been kind of started googling and research quite a bit on the internet to see what's out there against few internet associates. so i quickly came across the term non binary series, often because miss been yeah. and that word on tied a huge, not within making, using snowden didn't have to lose perhaps as to answer those guns penalized. oh, 1st it was a big relief. when done. com and i was afraid of the youngest. because the moment i knew this about myself, which this was, i also knew i couldn't go back the keys. i wouldn't worry just a minute to look in this deed of men's. i had to tell my boyfriend,
5:44 am
delighted. i had to tell my family, well, i had to tell my friends who was this man of a medium. it was time to let the cat out of the bags london ends on. most of this up club cousin they sent it said confound from chris and i have been together for 5 years now. i asked for, and i only came out to him about 2 and a half years ago. they even go to i just mean my partner was trans, wasn't stressful at all, madison, i showed them videos of people who were non binary of the because it was important to me that you get to know that as well. and, but this maybe this value is super interested in and super supportive as well inside. and we'll see, hey, all right, well figure it out somehow. what do you need of? how can i help you and me? my cries because i hadn't expected that. and then i was just like of course it. yeah, that was incredible. yeah. what's the
5:45 am
city moment? what was it like for you? and i told you when i told you i was track, that's up to something ok for that for me it listed um it's definitely a lot to absorb. we just had no idea of what that meant for as and how things would change by split accept the challenge or the challenge. i'm gonna have to say this, if anything change for you between us because of in the thing. no, no, just a life event, but nothing traveling is mix covey and then not in my name is that may i ask your name, but i don't consciously think about it anymore because it's more subconscious now because it's still you saving and strange that i have a deep voice mails to my hot the mattresses on the system again as well. cuz you're supposed to be honest. i don't even notice the attorney language. the i don't remember what your voice was like before christmas time. i just have it in my hand type stuff in mind, edible for the image. i have a view right now as also replace the one that my memory is up in the,
5:46 am
on the sides. and i think back to the time before the changes, you still look the same as you do now if you do it by myself, cuz i so at 1st is because that's what my head thinks is, right? it's like, it's always been this way. the in the mind is southern and you back over to tech. at 1st i was confused when robin came out to me on business of it because they had no experience with the whole think and the incumbent file of a. but i learned all the terminology and all the things that go with it, just as rather not to i'm hanging up just as often down like a few less and then level and what are our feelings for each other? and especially my feelings from robin were not affected because for me and the person is always in the for granting. and the match on us looks like there is more to a person than just their gender. so of course after robin came out initially i didn't question or feature because it didn't matter to me what the others talked about as a couple 100 bucks. yeah, and then so it was very clear to me that we would stay together once decided by the
5:47 am
technician, comes crossing the square to them line up this above seats in the income for a while. i wondered whether this could even work through outside or as we'd always been hetero. yeah. social norm because that we knew that was going to change and of course, that does affect the relationship to this office. but did you? so the question was, how do we do with a v? i think for most people, the whole trans issue is still very for this in mind, or i'm sure because there's just lots of different mac symptoms. yes, there is more acceptance, active tons. but acceptance is not understanding, this is there's a different use escaped him. i'm here and some people keep getting assault. if it comes to the nets, that just the other day and frankfort on the trans woman was attacked right on the street. awesome discipline, you seem discrimination. like that makes me so angry. must be so uh, but also very, very sad, told man, i realize other people were denied me the right to have my own identity. my own
5:48 am
life, feed me and my lima things aren't going well. politically, either off to politic mazda has kind of quitters look at hungry or poland gun at a point on goal, and is currently setting up l g, b t q, phrases. obviously, it's on line where people who work. we are not welcome using this alpha induced and a yeah. so, so what is that going to do? do you think you're not welcome here in the world you think you're not allowed to exist on the success team? smells inside this time. absolutely been discriminated against by in many ways and i mean it's pretty simple. come on them. whenever i get letters, it's always a very strange feeling for me. then there they always call me the wrong thing and i said you might have had so i'm going to post investments and this, and i'm gonna think it would be best if that were simply a minute. it's not because it's not necessary. well, and when needed are using meal pro. now the new one on this and there's a whole list of them because they let father put on. they get to my god, i chose the pronoun and then they sent me a spelled n i n. also google as an investor, for example,
5:49 am
instead of saying that he plays with his dog, and that would be in place with means don't suck a closet, smack. i'm on the phone. sure that might seem complicated at 1st oven, but with a little practice can you get used to us? so pushing it from one time on business and the conflicts on that also can, i think getting out of your comfort zone is the least you can do to except the 1st on tying this active tip. it's sylvia if send it had it. it's just a little word means we can change so much with us. no, i'm 10 slots. my sophia's and then can ma'am, we've incorporated so much english into the german language. language is always changing. i can't understand how you can be so ignorant and how you can have such a hard time with adding a few words to your vocabulary and human level. it's no common thing. even mama leave up to your mom do, dad, i'm writing this letter to you. so that you can take, however much time you need to read, i guess my type name cont, as such as

a few things for them. i was very afraid of coming out to my parents because i knew that they had no contact with your people at all. you had mentioned how was it because they didn't even know anyone who was gash woods and somebody should be. that's why i didn't talk to them 1st, the assessment, then i decided to write them a letter because i didn't want to experience their 1st reaction by this the estimate. so in this upcoming budget is being kind of how i'm not a woman. i've been ok, but i'm also not a man like i for india, i remain simply who i am, who i've always been to the for less than always so that i may change my appearance and so, but i am still the same child. you have always loved the invoice tie, it may take your time here and get in touch. when you want to know more about this is when shamia does the image and i wish that you will accept me for who i am as to without having to justify myself to you. i love you is need boyce robin hobbin to meet us in the attempt to my surprise, my parents responded very well and what type of shame 1st, my mother wrote me on what that this thing is. she told me she loves me very much and thank me for the letter. thank substituting fees on my and papa had it been,
