  • DjOtto737 says:

    Thank you so much, for making this video it made me feel so much? better about who I am. I am staring high school in a about a week and I am really scared of what might happen if I try to be myself. But after watching this video I am a bit more confident to try and be myself and not shove it in to a closet. Thanks again. I Evan teared up though most of the video.

  • jeanvermette says:

    Not at all. I *was* a ‘late transitioner’ because of the time I lived in and how I had to live … facts are facts. The point is: ? I transitioned which, IMHO, was way better than spending my whole life being a closeted, scared, woman with the wrong body. If anyone points out that I am not a woman in the way that ‘most’ women are women, I agree with them because the fact is that no individual woman (or man), transgendered or cisgendered, is exactly like most other women (or men).

    Hi Jami, Thanks for your kind? words. Best of luck as you move on to SRS. Jean

  • Drummrgrl55 says:

    Wow. How did you manage to speak my entire story without ever reading or hearing it? Up to 17, you got my story down pat. After a bout with shrinks and docs, my life went haywire. I am much better now, and back on the? track to SRS. Later girl. Jami

    thats how it is with many transgender people. Many of the symptoms show at that age.. Some women who are even born with intersex conditions show that they are more athletic, tomboyish or masculine(only certain conditions, not all). So yes it can show at a very early age… In preschool they kept making me go to the boys bathroom and it made me scared as hell and they would notice me dressing as a girl during “dress up” time and such. Lol a lot? of things show when you are 3-4, just like autism.

  • LexiLovem says:

    the point of her being transgender is that she’s not a ‘guy’, but yeah she just looks like any elderly woman. thats? part of menopause some women start to look a bit masculine

  • mikedonn71 says:

    Sadly most? women in their 50s and older look like men. This guy looks as bad as they do.

  • grandisleme says:

  • Rosalina1971 says:

    I’m 53 years old and I am thanking about taken my life. I have my SRS years ago and i’m ready to leave this earth. Passing is very important to me and i will never pass so I am tired of trying. I myself never had freinds and my family totally dis-own? me. It does not get better for some people like myself. 30 years as living as a woman and life is still hell for me

  • KelseyBeePink says:

    Even though I’m not lesbian, bi-sexual or transgendered, this was? very encouraging!

    Hi Jean. Thank you so much for the beautiful? video. Watching it, I was thinking, “She would be the best mom ever!” You are so kind, open hearted, and inspiring. I’m really happy that things are going wonderfully for you!

  • bluetruckredstate says:

    Wonderful message Jean,? which ought to inspire a lot of hurting kids out there. Thanks for sharing your story.

  • cjlince says:

    This is such a great message!! I am so happy? you found a partner and live a good life now. This is a very important message about pulling through times that can seem unbearable. You seem like such a positive, beautiful person.

  • redrusty66 says:

    I agree, there are other options that youth and their parents need to be aware of, such as home-schooling (It’s not just for scary religious people? anymore). If parents and youth understand there are other options if it really is just too dangerous to stay in school. For some this may be the best answer.
