"He doesn't understand gender from an internal point of view" - love the way you put it. This sums up pretty much every conversation I've had with cis people about how my gender feelings work. And this could also explain why transphobic ppl explain gender almost exclusively through what they see in others (external featured, gender presentation, etc) and not through what they see inside themselves.

It took me a long time to realize this, but it’s definitely helped so much. It’s just a projection of their own beliefs and lack of self awareness/understanding. I’m glad my words have been able to resonate with you 💛

I'm 28, non binary amab, and about to start hrt in January. Coming from that perspective, I just want to say you and your videos are extremely helpful for me coming to understand myself. So much of what you're saying I connect with in a way I don't quite with other trans people. It makes me feel validated. Like no, this isn't just some crazy idea I've gotten in my head, other people feel like me. It's helping me to accept that yes, I'm trans. Which is something I've been afraid to say out loud, despite knowing I'm non binary. And I really want to thank you for that. Because going into this can be really scary and confusing. But I'm connecting with almost everything you're saying (almost, I don't feel dysphoric about my genitals), and that gives me reassurance. You make a difference. Don't forget that. Congratulations on your surgery. ❤️

Whenever I watch a video from you, I feel better afterwards. It is so great that you find more to yourself through the surgery. Yes, often one is the worst gatekeeper of oneself! Even with things as simple as which toilet I use, I feel like I am intruding. I also find it an apt metaphor you use with the blank canvas, from which the OPs remove the false attributions of the past. Always helps a lot to hear your thoughts on these issues. Thanks so much! (And yes: I made it to the end ;-)

I'm 4 months on hrt. A huge part of why I was scared to start is because there isn't enough trans nonbinary representation on that front. Your videos have been so helpful. There are so many experiences that I had growing up that I can relate with yours. I'm not out yet, and I'm still seen as a man largely. But I feel more comfortable accessing femininity and your channel has played a HUGE part of that. So thank you. Also, random aside, I love your voice.

Love you so much Brynn ! Thank you for the content ♡ I have a question, we have a lot in common but I found a lot of euphoria working on my voice and letting it go higher, and that has been a really big step in connecting with my femininity, and I'm so curious about your relation with yours, because voice is a lot more flexible than we think. For months I kept my voice really low without aknowledging it, and felt so tired after just 20 minutes talking, and my sing teacher encourages me to go higher and so this removes the idea that any other voice would be less natural, so I progressively let it go, trying to find the confortable place at the level of the nose without forcing, as he was saying, instead of the root of the mouth. And it hasnt been so easy at first, but now I feel a lot more confort expressing myself Again, thank you for sharing ♡

My voice is definitely something I go back and forth about. I used to be super dysphoric about it and would get frustrated, but as my body changed to appear more feminine, I’ve felt better about my voice. I like having a voice that isn’t super feminine, but sometimes I feel like it’s too deep. But seeing as people typically read me as female, even after hearing my voice, it’s not a big concern for me. I’ve had a few people on KZfaq tell me my voice is androgynous which feels really nice to hear. Sometimes I do practice to make it a little higher, but I don’t want it to sound feminine. I wanna sound like an androgynous lesbian lmfao. If I would’ve been assigned female at birth I probably would’ve gone on T for a bit to make my voice a little lower. Hopefully that kind of explains where my “ideal” voice would be.

Congratulations!! Personally I love having a vagina, even tho I won’t be involved with men. A) if I’m ever involved with a pre-op trans woman, I have the option of intimacy with her in ways I wouldn’t otherwise have. But mainly, I just like penetration lol. Whether I’m using a toy or my fingers, it feels really nice to have something in there. But regardless I think you should do what makes sense for you. Zero depth is definitely an easier recovery so if you’re not interested in penetration then maybe that’s the way to go!

Going by how many of your various confusions over time have had to do with viewing various factors (body features, clothes, etc) in concretely gendered ways, can't say it's too surprising this has kicked in, due to just... feeling more automatically YOU. Heard similar from others too, just how much background dysphoria that simply was never obvious just up and vanished after bottom surgery, or ffs, or what have you, that you just suddenly aren't asserting yourself against in context of. And I swear I don't mean that in a presumptuous way. It's like when a cis friend of mine came out as ace, could there have been other explanations, sure, but as the explanation that it turned out to be, it was like "oh yeah that makes perfect sense".

Sapphic?!? Love it. Something worth exploring for myself i think. But....for me right now, i love! Being trans and i think you nailed why..sort of. The whole having feelings and them not being appropriate for what i was told i was back then and now finally experiencing those feelings and not ignoring them and not ignoring my existence. And i always felt like they sewed this nonsense over what was there at birth or something. Like it's someone else's, not mine. oh i could on. As for sexuality..i honestly have no idea anymore. I have leanings but I'm just so unsure now I'm just shutting all that down for now. Also what i find interesting and unltimatly so validating is hearing other's stories. It blows my mind that hearing so many stories that no matter where we grow up or how can have so many similar threads run through them. It's each our own journey don't get me wrong but... Anyway. Yey a new video. Yourself and another trans woman on KZfaq have been big I'm my life since coming out. 1 year & 2 months on HRT. Thank you so much. And... sorry but just because i am telling everyone....Thursday i am having surgery (BA). I can not wait. So exited also starting to get nervous and on the 20th a consult for bottom. That i have mixed feeling on. Mainly why does the surgeon have to bring an entourage in with him? It's going to be so awkward. Again i could go on and i have so many questions but blar blar blar. Also are you still on tour? Did you get the moldy apartment issues sorted?

That makes total sense. I love hearing other trans people’s experiences because like you said, there are so many similarities or things that are at least mostly universal and it makes me feel so connected. Out of curiosity, what trans woman are you talking about? I’d love to follow her! Congrats on getting surgery omg!! That’s so exciting. I hope recovery goes well for you 💛 Would you be able to ask the surgeon to keep your visit more private? Or is that not really something you can push for. What surgeon are you going to for your surgery (and for you bottom surgery consult)? If you don’t mind me asking, just curious. Good luck with everything 😊

Connecting with femininity???? That's how you know you need help mentally. Women or girls don't have to connect with femininity...... you just are, it comes naturally. You don't have to search for it..... even when it's not wanted it's there. I hope you can find peace within. You don't have to mutilate your body to find peace within. Self mutilation will only generate peace from within temporarily. True peace can be achieved thru understanding AND accepting your true self. Understand accepting yourself for who you really are will be a lifelong journey.

Real femininity is what one feels and how one thinks. HRT finally gave my brain the hormonal environment to fully realize the femininity I always had. My wife at first thought I was gay, but trans-feminine, sapphic, and ace are better descriptors. The mental changes are the most profound, but the physical changes are also huge; like I was on a ship examining the directory, but was provided a map to the wrong ship; nothing is in the right place. Always look forward to your videos, apart from the non-binary bit they really speak to me. 🏳‍⚧💛🧡❤
