So I've been meaning to talk about this subject for a while now actually. I loath the way people look at each other these days. Whether it'd be gender, relationships,or social status. Let's get real right now and realize what's going on. Todays topic is going to be on gender.
- Gender
I, personally don't understand why people discriminate against others about their identity. It's not your body so why are you worrying about it.
I'm talking about transgender people first. I've been watching FTM (female to male) and MTF (male to female) vlogs on youtube for years now. Ever since I watched a "True Life" about this matter. It honestly broke my heart that you couldn't even imagine. It's so sad to see the struggle some people go through to find out who they really are inside. To hear people say, "I'm trapped in the wrong body" just broke me down to tears. Can you imagine how hard it is, for example, to be a girl and feel like you're not supposed to be? And in your heart you know that you were meant to be a boy? That must be extremely frustrating for everyone to be identifying you as the wrong person. Trying to tell your parents or close friends and family that you feel like someone you're not supposed to be you, must be the worst part.
Of course, I would not know how these situations/feelings actually are, but I've witnessed it. I don't want to name names, but I'm just going to leave it at this. I found out that a youtuber I used to absolutely adore, was transgender. My proof? I don't have physical proof at the moment, but I questioned him after I noticed him being 23, and not growing any facial hair and has the appearance of a 12 year old. So I did my research months ago and clicked an article on google that he had written on tumblr. In the post, it admitted everything I was wondering about, so I clicked the profile to see if it was the real guy (I was following him on tumblr previously). It wound up being his official tumblr that he had given out to everyone. I was of course shocked at first, but I immediately accepted him afterwards. He hasn't made any real confessions to everyone in the past couple years, but everyone is becoming curious as well.
In one of his recent videos, he says that he is upset at his appearance and he is unhappy with himself. It breaks my heart to pieces, because I've been watching his videos since the very beginning and when you watch someone for years, you start to feel like you've known them personally forever. You feel so close to them. When he made that video I cried, because I don't like to see my friends cry over something so serious. He has gone through such a struggle alone for years with who he really is and he really doesn't need other people judging him now about it. Especially all his young viewers.
I love this youtuber and I always will, no matter what gender he is. He is such an inspiration to everyone and he has taught me to never give into my own sadness. Every time I was sad, I would watch his videos and his crocked smile, his flow-y hair and his gorgeous face with his lip piercing would always cheer me up. I love everything about him. His videos took my mind off of all my problems and made me laugh all day until I forget what I was upset about.
I recently looked up the subject again and read on yahoo answers, that a young girl was worried that he wasn't actually a boy because she had a major crush on him and if it made her gay that she has those feelings for him. Honestly, it shocked me. Young viewers these days really don't know better. You cannot discriminate a person based on their sex! Their gender- whatever sex they want to be portrayed as, are what they're trying to be a live as. If you don't like it or don't understand it then don't continue to question it, let them be themselves because that's when they are the happiest.
In the end, happiness rules all. We choose our happiness and all those people struggling with being who they really want to be, are choosing to be happy. So who are you to judge, whether that person should be happy or not. Life is to short to be judging others, you have your own life to worry about. They're trying to live their life, just as much as you are. You can either choose to love them for who they are, or don't get involved at all. If you do get involved, you're really don't helping the situation at all and your input is no longer needed.
I love everyone so incredibly much and I would never judge anyone based on their gender. You are all beautiful the way you are. so embrace it honey! Stay fierce babies! xoxo
