  Haven't started the video yet but the reason I'm trans is because my girlfriend, who was actually a radioactive lesbian, bit me. I can live with this superpower

  To sum up being trans in a single experience, imagine going to pee only to be rudely accosted by a stranger who demands you explain the concept of the self and why existence is as it is and not some other way, and if they are not satisfied to the degree with which you explained it to them they have you thrown out. But, forever.

  I'm trans because I played Fallout New Vegas a bit too much

  I am 74. Nonbinary. For about 65 years I keep switching between feeling male or female. Society is finally starting to deal with people like me. I appreciated your video.

  A prominent trans politician here in Brazil made the same point you did, Lily, which stuck to me: conservatives have the idea that "society" is "trying to make our children trans" when in reality they are constantly taught that being cisgender is the "default".

  I’m a transfem and recently I’ve been questioning whether I’m really trans or maybe I should just be a crossdresser. This video has helped so much, I cannot thank you enough.

  People always ask "Why are people trans" but they never ask "How are trans people"

  As a jewish person, that poem from the Rabbi made me cry. Especially considering that last verse is  part of the mode ani, one of the most basic prayers you learn as a child. Every morning, you wake up and do mode ani to thank God for various bodily functions (the act of waking up, the digestive track, sight etc) and this verse is one of three  (?) blessings that differs for men and women. Men say "thank you God for not making me a woman" and women say "thank you God for making me the way I am". I (a cis woman) have always understood it as some basic religious misogyny. I never thought there would be another way to interpret it, but it makes sense. My heart aches for this Rabbi, I hope her soul has found peace and healing.

  As a white heterosexual cismale gen-x’er, I guess I would be in the key demographic for being transphobic. But I honestly can’t think of a single reason for it. What the hell business is it of mine how other people view and express their identity? Life is hard, please be as happy as possible, and if that means being trans then more power to you. I guess I only half understand all the issues but I support you. Thanks for the informative video.

  The poem that that rabbi wrote is some of the most real, raw and painful piece of historical text of a trans person I've ever read... This was written centuries ago yet the feelings are so alive and present

  To quote Lindsay Nikole&apos;s phrase, &quot;Nature never gives it to you straight.&quot;<br>I&apos;ve always vibed with that statement, expecially when it comes to how humans are.
