Parents, remember the first time you held your newborn child, the first time you soothed it's tears, the first time you changed it's diaper, the first time you said "I love you". They are still that frail little baby that needs your total acceptance and protection no matter the age. See the soul, not the package that carries that soul.
Wow, well said. We need more people like you. Thank you.
We need people like you❤❤❤❤
That little speech made my day🥺😊
Thank you for understanding

Number one comment
What song is it?
So my parents last week accidentally found out I was trans and bi. My mum literally ran out of the room and vomited in the sink. My dad started yelling at me and telling me that I was just a sporty girl/tomboy and how awful I was for being trans. That night I almost killed my self but I didn’t because my best friend sent me this song after I told her what happened. Thank you for this amazing song as it saved my life. ❤️
Your story is really sad. And your friend is a truly amazing person. Just remember people like your friend that appreciate you the way you are. You are perfect. And a wonderful person. And I wish you the best
Chithirus thanks
Im still in the questing stage, but i completely accept people for who they want to be and who they want to love.
Must be horrendous for someone so important to you to see who you are and at your most vulnerable and then react with disgust, horror, rage WTF like you just got caught committing some odious crime. Good grief. Your parents need help. If you like Oprah, she did a whole episode with Gary Zukav about why people judge others. It might help you to put this mess in perspective. Your parents have some kind of inner problems. That kind of reaction speaks volumes about their own insecurities, it really isn't about you. You did not deserve any bit of that. What other people think, feel and do is a reflection of them, not you. Take care of yourself. Treat yourself and others with the respect and kindness that your parents were unable for some reason to demonstrate. Wish you the best.
-Our usernames really go hand in hand, huh?- I never even knew you before I read this comment, and I can say I am very happy you're still here. No one should be driven to the point of suicide because they aren't accepted. I've never been the best with words, but I will say this: You are beautiful inside and out, no matter who you choose to be. I hope things have gotten better for you. And if they haven't yet, I hope the future brings better days. Stay strong
"Dedicated to all the colorful birds" That's where I lost it.
Yes hello I am totally a bird
I lost it too because it's true sadly and I'm the most colorful bird in my flock
@@Rosey_Shadow same and I'm in the friend group of gay kids at my school
That’s exactly it. 🤣🤣 I found that funny. After everything in this that’s the message it was trying to deliver.
@@bellarose9226 ...??? Wut why is that funny
Hi, I’m Lance, and I know this comment likely won’t be seen among the thousands of others, but I think the most appropriate place to tell my little story is here. I found this song years ago-I don’t think the exact year it was released, but it was a while ago, I think around 3 or 4 years. I stumbled upon it on Spotify and listened to it on repeat for a while. Every time I listened to it, it made me cry. It *still* makes me cry, even just looking at the song cover, because no song has ever hit me so hard before. My grandma and my mom call our Christian family “a village”. I’m not sure why they do, but they do, and it’s become a nickname for our entire family. I think it’s endearing, but it just makes this song that much more impactful. I’ll never be able to genuinely be my true self among “my village” that I love so much, because they’ll alienate and hate me for it. So, I have to live a life of falseness and discomfort, simply because I can’t bear the thought of losing them and being alone. Aside from their obvious flaws, they really are amazing people-especially my mom-and it breaks my heart *so fucking much* that I’ll never receive the acceptance and encouragement that I wish I’d had from her and the rest of my family since 6th grade. I hate my body, and my personality, and my voice, and it’s all because I have to pretend to be someone I’m not for the rest of my life just for them. It’s so unfair. So fucking unfair. And it’s all because of a belief in a “rule” that may not even be true, and of a god that may not even exist. I’m agnostic myself. Though I’d rather believe in facts and science, I grew up Christian and just can’t seem to shake my old beliefs. I’ll admit, the bible has some truth to it-but I’ve never understood why a “loving god” would damn people to eternal suffering just for *loving.* I’m not sure what else to say, but I appreciate it if you’ve read this far. I hope you all get to live your true lives and have a supportive “village”. Much love to the *good* Christians on this earth and LGBT+ community alike.
I’m so sorry you have to go through this I hope your situation will get better in the future hopefully
Please always remember you aren't alone. ✊️🏳️⚧️
Hey Lance! Be strong we’re here for you, I hope you get to live your true life with support!
You're perfect and you're valid and I'm so sorry you have to go through this. But you're not alone tho Remember that Everywhere you go
I am a Christian and I honestly don't think or feel God would damn someone just for being who they are. As long as you aren't to destroy another life or be judgmental to another I feel God loves you. Also, here's my thoughts, if your blood family can't except who you are or who you want to be screw them. Not trying to be rude. If they can't love you for who you are than go out and make a new family who will. You can find tons of moms who would love you so much, you can make your own family. I don't have family who hates me for who I am, but do have some who are judging and judgmental and want to make me to be like themselves but whatever. I found I could create my own family with non blood friends who in ways I actually love more than a blood relative. I hope someday you can tell your family and show your blood family who you truly are and if they turn their back on you than it's their loss not yours. I know it will suck and hurt for a bit but in time you will feel whole. I am saying this with tons of love and care.
To all the colorful birds, I'm glad you are still here. I'm glad we are still here. Keep fighting. Someone loves you
thank you.
I love you ❤
Than you ❤
love you
Thank you ❤ The fight is hard and exhausting to continue, but knowing that others are there to support is what keeps that effort worth it

My Dad was a big brute of a man, a bit gruff and old school, I remember very clearly walking out of mass that was all about the sins of being Gay, he turned around to my brother literally grabbed him and hugged him so hard and told him that no matter what the world or bigots said that he would always love him and that he knew his children and no child of his would ever have to tell him what was in their heart, my Dad walked my brother down the isle, with joy just shining from him, when he got married to his husband. We are so lucky in the Man that raised us, this song makes me thankful and breaks my heart.
You are very lucky and blessed to have a father like you do....,
This gives me hope for the world
@@robsanders5808 I am thankful everyday.

I wish I was that lucky. I just get told that it’s a choice and it’s wrong.
This song rocks me to my core. I'm a cis hetero male who can't truly imagine the pain and challenges of wanting to live your true self, but never feeling comfortable in your own skin, and then also having so many around you telling you you are wrong for who you want to be. EVERY single trans person out there--you are valid. You are LOVED. I will never judge you or not love you, and I'm so sorry for any of you who do not have the love and support around you that you deserve. I hope you will love yourself as much as I love you and believe in you, and you will find the strength you need to be able to live your true authentic self.

As someone who has come out to religious family members. I can say it is the most terrifying thing a person can do.
And I still have family that I haven’t come out to due to theirs religious beliefs or people I have and they refuse to use the correct name and pronouns and that’s worse to me then saying I don’t accept for them to say they accept then continuously use the wrong pronouns and name
Sucks to be you,sorry

We were on our way back from a shopping trip where I had cried because of the skirts my mum had wanted me to try on. This song was on my youtube, when I listened to it i cried even more. This song was able to show me why I had felt so different and who I was. If it weren't for this song, I don't know where I'd be. Thank you so much for what you have done for me, I owe you my life.
That's so sweet. This song genuinely helps people be happy. That's amazing. Music can change people's lives. ❤
I am so happy that you found who you were through this song. I know it's a long and hard path living as yourself, but I wish you the best of luck for every step of the way. Don't let anyone outside of yourself tell you who you're meant to be.

It took me 20 years to start working on the trauma that was being pregnant and giving birth. I wasn't out even to myself at the time. I know everyone feels different about their bodies, but I'm in awe of your strength and resilience. I understand a piece how hard that may have been, and your daughter is so lucky to have a great dad like you. Well done, sir.
You are a mother. I am so sorry for whatever trauma you went through that led you to all this confusion, and doubly sorry if it was your family that brought this pain on you. It's never too late to change. Your daughter needs her mother, and there is only one person in the world who could ever fill that role - you.
@@roseschaefer5079 no thank you, I don’t claim that negativity and I promise you as her FATHER I know what’s best for her and she gets everything she needs from me and her other FATHER, who is also transgender. thank you for your unneeded opinion ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I was absolutely bawling watching this, my parents found my binder and took it. I just really wish they could actually see me and see how much it hurts to live inside a body that isn’t the one I belong in.
Hey! I hope one day they will see you as you, but also know if they can't, they aren't acting as family, because family is people who support you being yourself, and it isn't defined by blood. You don't owe them anything. And also! there are resources online that can help you replace your binder for free or very cheap, and lots of tricks for how to hide them (I like a hidden pocket in a plushie, or putting it under your mattress, but theres a ton of different ones for different living situations)
I see you. I came out to my family as a trans male on my birthday. And ever since, they have been calling be my dead name and pronouns. It hurts but i don't have the guts, courage or strength to tell them that again. Coming out is very nerve wracking and scary on how they might react. I see and hear everyone, cis, trans, non binary, gay, pan, polly, asexual, aromantic, EVERYONE because it is really hard to get away from prying eyes. I love you for who you are, even if your parents don't. YOU MATTER, EVERYONE MATTERS. People shouldn't be judged for who they are
Best of luck to you :) my plan is to MAKE my parents see me

this probably won't get seen but this song hit me harder than i can express as an ftm pursuing singing. for so long i thought i could never transition because it would mean 'losing my voice', but you really showed that...maybe one day my voice can sound like this. maybe being trans doesn't mean i have to give up music. thank you
I can relate to your exact situation
@NOAHFINNCE if you need proof your voice will make it
Been on T for a year and a half here. My voice had changed alot. I also really enjoy singing. It is definitely hard at first, and you will struggle with it for a long time while your voice settles and while you figure out new ways to use it. But KEEP PRACTICING! It's probably gonna sound horrible at first, my singing is still nowhere as good as it used to be. But I keep practicing and I am seeing alot of improvement. It takes time to re-learn how your voice works, but keep at it and you will get there.
as a fellow ftm singer i feel this pain. i've looked at people such as sasha allen with such envy; his transition journey has been aw-inspiring and his voice has grown in so many more ways than one. i have so much hope for you dude! ~lars, a fellow ftm musician

"One page of the Bible isnt worth a life" I've never heard such simple words be so powerful and heartbreaking at the same time.

I Actully felt that tho
i've tried it all. put on every last bit of makeup, paint my nails, surround me with pink, wear dresses, i'm trying so fucking hard, but no amount of lipstick or designer bags will make me as happy as a piece of tape and a hoodie does. i'm a male. my name is tyler. i'm a boy. and i'll take that to my grave.
Hey there. I just want you to know that you do not have to be a girly-girl to be happy with your assigned gender. There are many girls out there that are tomboys and like to wear hoodies and sweatpants and they don't like to mess around with the makeup or they hate the color pink. When I was a young girl in elementary school, I asked my mom to let me cut my hair short because I didn't like the feeling of long hair and having to comb it so much. I also did not dress overly feminine and I liked some girly things but I also liked a lot of things boys enjoyed. Because of my short hair people would make fun and say that I looked like a boy or was a boy. I knew I was a tomboy but I figured that I was "half boy and half girl" for a little bit. I told some people this and they said you are just a tomboy. That immediately cleared it up for me and from that moment onwards I felt confident and happy being female and I was happy knowing that I did not have to be restricted to what kind of clothing I wore or the length of my hair or any of my hobbies. Womanhood and manhood goes beyond the exterior. 💗
I believe you Tyler. You can be whoever you want to be!! I can’t even imagine how hard it must be!! Please never give up!! You matter!! ❤❤❤

For one, love the pfp. Two, may they rest in peace. They didn't deserve such a terrible fate. Like it's genuinely awful
Rip Brianna Ghey. Rip to all the other siblings who are no longer with us. I wish i could have met you all. And given you the love that you deserved.
For Brianna!

Thank you, this was a very nice ted talk.
In the bible the line " man shall not lay with man" was lost in translation the original was "man shall not lay with child"
to all the LGBTGQIA+ community: thanks for making me feel that i’m not alone and comprehending me and i want y’all to know that y’all have all my love and respect🏳️🌈🏳️🌈💛💛💛💛✨
The bible never said to disrespect all lgbtq+ people so people who use the bible as an excuse to discriminate aren’t following their religion properly
Not only that it says you shouldn't judge righteously because only God has the power to do so yet almost every church/Cristian does I say almost because I had a pastor when I was forced to go to church say that people that are apart of the LGBT+ Community are humans and are valid just as much as you and I and I actually loved going to that church for that reason but after he said that people stopped going
YES
The word homosexual was never originally in the Bible. They replaced the word “child molester” for homosexual. I don’t understand how they translated child molester to homosexual?
My daughter sent me this, to help me understand. I hope I can be a better support to them, now that I have felt this. I love them, no matter what. If this is how they identify, it’s alright by me. They are amazing in my eyes & forever in my heart.❤
My brother told me this was the song that helped him solidify his identity and every single day it kills me that he felt alone. He was never alone.
WHEN HE CUT HIS HAIR I WAS LIKE HELL YES SLAY KING

Hi
ugh
Whoever is reading this Take care of yourself okay?
Sukmidik I will if you will
Thank you for commenting this...I genuinely needed it
Thanks, I'll try
exhausted and can’t sleep four£ this song this morning I, sobbin* but thank you

This song is my comfort song. Thanks, it portrays this pain of feeling misunderstood and having to hide in a way that hits right in the heart.
My partner recently came out to me as trans and I sent him this song and I swear we both cried. He's still pretty scared, but I will show him how much I love him and that he does not have to be ashamed. All of the lyrics fit to his situation "There's nothing wrong with you, it's true"
Thank you for supporting your partner!
You are a beautiful and wonderful person (ps, Moka is amazing )
My boyfriend came out to me expecting me to break up with him but I hugged him and cried and I bought him a binder for his birthday and he hugged me and cried for I don't know how long
My boyfriend also came out to me and he was scared to do so cause he thought I was a lesbian lol I told him I loved and that he's the best bf ever and he cried because I accepted him :')
Thank you for being such an Amazing person.
My son came out as gay at 13. We adopted him at 15. We had some scary times. I knew of some of his friends who died, their choice. I would have been destroyed if he died. I cannot stand parents who fail to accept their kids. If I was rich, I’d probably adopt every kid without parents, give them unconditional love and respect them for who they are. If times got tough, my kids would know they would never walk alone. You song and story is so powerful, it hit my every parental heartstring in my body. I love you for this. It’s a video I plan to tell others about. Thank you for this gift.
The world needs more parents like you. Thank you for what you do
We stan you. You are an amazing parent, please keep being amazing.
I’m crying, I really wish more parents were like you. I don’t see why it’s so hard to just accept your child. Thank you. Just thank you for not being like them. Thank you for caring about your son thank you for being there. Thank you for being a kind person. Have a wonderful day
we needs parent like you
Adlkasfhj we need more people like you in the world. Please adopt me T-T
I had a group of classmates who were making anti-lgbt and transphobic jokes and saying things like "we are normal". So I snapped one time at one of them and said that he needed to shut his face...after that some of my queer classmates had to leave class and I joined them because I was shaking. One of them (a girl who was questioning if she was trans or not) hugged me but didn't let go right away and she said "thank you for saying that." Which made a lot of impact on me and was very powerful. When we all calmed down we went back in class and she send me this...it hit pretty hard. Sidenote my teacher very well understood what was happening, she supported us and made sure we had a classroom discussion with our mentor about this.
wow so brave 😢 Jk no one cares the lgbt are not oppressed nor are their supporters a minority
This isn’t just a song. This is art in every way
I just... I can't stop crying. And I can't stop my dysphoria. And I can't stop my dissociating. And I can't stop having panic attacks looking in the mirror. But even so, Im still me. Im still a boy. I'm not broken.

Okay um, not to be weird but you're really handsome
@@malibu4182 .... I really appreciate that :D
of course you are. you're a strapping young fellow who's gonna take the world by storm. remarkable, brave, self-aware- those are the qualities i could pick out from your comment. you're gonna make it ,love. and when you do it'll all be worth it. the more tears you cry now, the more smiles you can have later. and im sure all of us want to see a handsome boy smile.
My mom read my diary and found out I was trans. She kicked me out, but now I’m with a family that loves a supports me. I finally got a masculine haircut and even got a binder. This song helped me out so much whenever I’m feeling dysphoric or remembering the day my mom kicked me out. I love this song with all my heart. For anyone that’s in a similar situation or had a similar situation to me just know you’ll find your supporters. I’m one of them. I have your back. You’re so valid and safe with me and many others. Have a good day❤️🏳️⚧️

I am Lyam. I am 13. I've been dealing with gender identity disorder since I was seven. No one believed me when I said I was a boy. "You will always be a girl" "It's just a phase" "I had this feeling too" No you didn't. You don't understand what it's like, every damn day. I can't do this anymore
I’m here for you. I support you, but I don’t know exactly what you’re going though. Ily man just know that
You can do it, man. I believe in you, you're strong. I hope you have a good day... ❤️
You can do this Lyam, we got your back
pls keep going lyam u are so freaking strong, and one day you'll be old enough to go on hormones and transition
So did I. I’m 11, and knew I was non binary at 7. It’s who I am and they’ll all have to deal with that. You are valid, Lyam
“I know what you are.” “You’ll always be a girl.” “You are my daughter.” “This is just a phase.” “You are still too young.” “You just want attention.” “You don’t know what you want.” “You don’t understand what it means.” “You’re just trying to fit in.” “That school made you think this.” No. You’re wrong. No matter what you say, I will never be your little girl. Your words are emotionless and careless. I am my own person. I am your son, not your daughter. I’m a boy, I’ve always been a boy. I don’t care what you say, your words can’t control me forever. My name is Jaxson, not the name you gave me. My name will always be Jaxson, and I will always be a boy.
You are a boy 💙
yeah you are a boy.... dont let anybody tell you otherwise
I FEEL U DEEP DOWN I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS
I read this and this is exactly what my family said to me. They asked if it was peer pressure, they said it was a phase, they told me I was a girl and that I'm too young. Thank you, dude. Thank you for this. Your story empowers me.
Hey man hope your doing well

Hey to any trans person reading this: it gets better. One way or another. When I first listened to this song I was convinced I was doomed to live my life closeted in an unsupportive household. Now, 4 years later, I am celebrating my first week on testosterone. It will be okay❤
Thanks
It will ❤️🧡🔥
TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!: A little boy walked up to me and asked me my name and I told him my name was lexe and he asked me for my gender now let me remind you the boy looked around 6 or 7 and he asked me if I was a girl or a boy. I told him I was a boy and he said that I looked like I was a girl and i told him that i was but not in the way he thought. I showed him this video and he asked me if that was what i was like and i told him yes. I showed him a picture of my old self and he said that even as a boy or a girl I looked perfect. That little boy made my day. I'M A TRANS BOY AND I'M PROUD🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
im really happy for you!
That. Is. So. Cute.
I'm a transgirl and my parents don't understand, and get mad when I say I'm a girl. It really hurts that they think I'm a man, when I'm not
Nawww >~
It's sad kids sometimes understand more than parents and can be more excepting about it
Nobody but a trans person will understand the extreme relief and overwhelming feeling of finally getting your hair cut, or finally being able to buy the cloths that make you feel comfortable. Nobody can understand the crushing pain that comes with Dysphoria on a daily basis. For those going through it, im here for you and you will get through it; just keep pushing through. Dont let anybody make you feel like you have to be shoved into a box and conform to their look and vision of you. Its your body, your feelings, your mental health; dont let ignorant people drag you down.
Straight facts and means a lot to have people like you in this world ❤💯👏😭💔
Omg yes! Im not even trans, im genderfluid and i cant describe how happy i feel after changing to the clothes i feel like!
This!! This right here!! Im not trans but i can't imagine the pain of dysphoria and worse, having it on a daily basis, im cis but one time i had gender dysphoria (i think that either my transness was a phase or i was suppressing it wich i doubt) it was a bit moderate and it sucked, it wasn't even daily, just for a day, people shouldn't deny the happiness of another human being just cause they believe that they aren't real, ignorance is terrible.
I'm nonbinary and i deal with top dysphoria everyday and it sucks, and i can agree with the haircut thing to. Sadly my family cant know about me until I'm no longer a minor who has to live with them, but I was gifted with amazing friends who support me like you wouldn't believe. One said that the minute I'm free to be myself openly, she's going to take me with my friends to get me a flag and clothes that make me feel like who I should be.
Or growing your hair out it help me but i cut it short because i like to dye my hair alot
"There's nothing wrong with you, it's true, it's true" I REALLY needed to hear this. Thank you so much. I've been in denial about being trans for over 2 years now and it's hell. My dad says transphobic stuff every day and everyone at school makes fun of trans people. It makes me feel like no one will ever accept me so I do my best to completely ignore how I'm feeling and to try convince myself that I'm not trans. I really don't want to be trans, but I know that I can't just keep ignoring that I am forever. Sorry for the mini vent.
We’re in that boat together, and we will make it through. I love you and send you all my best wishes ❤
I relate although my school not only jerks about my gender they call kids sped (special education kids) and make a stupid noise and the noise is very disrespectful and today my choir teacher flipped when a kid did it I'm autistic and was called a retard and sped kid But I know there'll be better days so don't worry about anything it shall be okay I give you many of head pats Edit don't you dare DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR VENTING IF YOU GOT TO VENT YOU VENT
I kept coming back here when I was having particularly bad days of dysphoria, for the past few years. Today is my first day on T. It was hell to get here, but I don't care, this fight is more than worth it. So to everyone who like me, comes back here when things get rough, just know that it'll get better. It might seem like the people that want to break us are overwhelming, but progress is being made still, so please don't lose faith.
❤️
Congrats on starting T, hope it helps you feel more like yourself
Congratulations on getting on T! I hope you are doing well and are being your handsome self!❤

i know that binding with ave bandages isn't healthy but if I cant get a binder then like what am I supposed to bind with? layering is fine in the winter but what about the summer? also I'm genderfluid but only out to a few people which is why my name is Gabby.

You're not a girl. You're a boy. ❤
Hi dude I know it seems impossible but it will get better you aren't a girl that's not who you are, you are a boy

Im very proud of you that you have been able to find your gender identity....it can be hard and scary- Love ya you lad (no homo) 💜💙💛

ANY TRANS INDIVIDUAL READING THIS: As a 20 year old trans man who has been one year on T and has most documents legally changed, I see your struggle. I see you and you are valid. You will find happiness and your own chosen family (if bio family is not accepting).
Thank you ❤️
A bunch of trans people will appreciate this message, thank you for your kindness.
@@noahgames1490Yeah, when I was first coming out, getting T was a journey because my dad was accepting but my step family, not so much. So, when I lived with them, I could not start T. I was 16 at the time and they ALWAYS misgendered me (and still do today, but i'm not nearly bothered by it as much). Once they found out that I started T without their permission (I was 19 at the time) they didn't want me living with them anymore. I was already in college at the time. And thank god my best friend was looking for a roomate for an apartment. As a way for my dad to say "im sorry for doing this", he's paying my rent too. But let me tell you, all of those years that I spent to get T was worth it. I have never felt more at peace with my self. TO ANY TRANS PERSON: there is a time where you can finally be at peace with yourelf
You have an amazing story, your step family doesn’t matter, what matters is that you are happy. Im very proud of you as an individual, your dad sounds like a great person. I have to say that I can relate with most of your feelings. I came out as trans male to my family and they weren’t to accepting.. But sometimes you just need to think “I won’t be here forever” that was my motivation. If there was anyone going through this situation I would gladly take them in as a friend. If you need to vent about anything please tell me.
I’m happy I could help! 😁
Humans are not birds. We are not other animals. We have intelligence that lets us have the capacity and capability to try and reason, rationalize, and understand how to accept others. It's time to stop acting like other animals that are rejecting differences and start accepting differences. We're humans. Let's act like it. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
actually my mom is excited when any of the lgbtq+ community comes to our church because it means we did a good job--at loving people. Most 'christians' these days don't understand that being a christian--the most important responsibility we have--is to love everybody. No matter their pronouns, abilities, age, looks, if they/we are neurodivergent or not, it doesn't matter. Jesus loved and still loves everybody. That is what it means to be christian. That is what it means to be in this world. Stick up for others regardless of anything else. It doesn't matter your beliefs, I want you here and you matter to me. I will be here from the day I was born till the day I die and I swear to everything I hold dear I will make sure everybody I come across knows it that EVERYBODY and I mean everybody deserves to be loved and is loved. If by nobody else--then by me.
frrr, it's christians like them that ruin the image for all of the christians (i'm an atheist). you are a good apple
Soon I'll be going off to college and can finally hear "oh, *they* want to come along too" and "that's *their* art, I hear *they're* proud of it" because every day I keep hearing "she" and "my daughter" and it just keeps hurting everytime. And yet I'm still scared.
You are strong. You can and you will make it, never forget this. They're so amazing. ☺️
They are so beautiful They are strong
They are so creative They are
I'm with you.
I understand that too, I also use They/them pronouns. It is so hard to break away from what you are used to but it is an amazing feeling. I am not in college but when I am in school hearing my friends use the right pronouns and teachers asking and using them is so great. I hope you get to hear what you are ment to be called, you deserve it.
As a proud adoptive parent of a beautiful baby girl, this made me really cry. How can people think this way?! That’s your blood! Your child... your baby... your flesh and bones. LOVE YOUR DAMN CHILDREN NO MATTER WHAT GENDER THEY ARE!! Even if they have none. If you can’t love them past what’s on the outside, the you don’t deserve to be a parent. I spit on you.
You're such a good mother, your kid is so lucky
@@bees5512 awe thanks babes! I do try. I am just so proud of her for paving her own way in life. All parents should want for their children is their happiness

@@billieeilish4735 awe!!! This made me tear up!! Thank you so much love. I would adopt all of the children’s if I could!! I have so much love to give, this world doesn’t have enough. There’s too much apathy and not enough empathy. It costs Nothing to just be nice and care.
omg that’s so nice your kid is very lucky to have you
You can’t Deny it, that painting is so beautiful
I’m not a very emotional person, but I actually cried listening to this song, and I continue to every time I hear it. As someone who has gone through this, I feel it. It hits harder than I’ve ever expected
“One page of the Bible isn’t worth a life” I wish more people knew this. I am religious, but I don’t understand why people can assault and harass people and then hide behind the Bible saying it’s “what god intended”
I completely agree, I'm also religious, I've heard it more times than can count that "gay people are disgusting". I really wish more people could see the fact that the Bible is just a huge book of stories and no one knows if everything in it is true or not. For all we know, the Bible could have been written by some bored guy who had nothing better to do than write a book!
Absolutely. I'm a religious muslim and i can't comprehend how people can be so heartless when dealing with lgbt people. They are just like any other human being and should be treated with the same amount of love and respect.
i actually started to lose my connection to god because of the hate. it needs to stop.
There’s a famous quote that goes “I like your Christ but not your Christians”.. the Bible is and was supposed to be a love story of Jesus who loved us so much he died for us. Whether you believe it or not (and you don’t have to) something that was meant to be the saving grace and hope for so many has been twisted and misinterpreted by so many people who feel as though they are in a position of power to execute their own will on others and use the Bible as the basis of their argument even when hatred was never meant to be the message. Anger was never meant to be the message. The message was love and the message was mercy, that in an imperfect world we can be perfect through love. We aren’t here to judge we are here to love one another. I hate the disparities people latch onto to try to defend and fuel their acts of hate...
Same here. That line always hits hard.
To all the other colourful birds with unsupportive parents: I'm your parent now. You can call me whichever gender-neutral term for parent you want, or you can call me dad if you're more comfortable with that! You are valid, you are wanted, you are loved, and I will hug you and love you and treat you like the most precious human on earth because you are.

aw thank you my mother is supportive, don’t know about my stepfather bc he wouldn’t dare say anything bc of my mother my father? he’s,,trying it’s not that he’s not accepting, he’s just not really in my life (his fault) so this means a lot
Thank you, Charlie 🥺 I’m crying- this was so sweet
To everyone that this applies to: I’m so sorry that you’ve been made to feel that you aren’t enough just being yourself, and that you need to change who you are to fit into society’s outdated and harmful ways. You are deserving of love and respect, and you will get through this.
To my son. I will love you forever my darling boy and I'm so proud that you are your true self

me too

Brilliant song, strong message. Fly free and proud you colourful birds
I never once have questioned my gender identity but this song makes my heart ache for those who have. It breaks my heart to see people have to deal with people telling them that something is wrong with them on the daily. I am Christian and I want you all to know that not all of us are hateful and cruel. I will stand with lgbtq people even if I go against my fellow Christian. I love you and god loves you for who you are. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you❤️🏳️⚧️
to all the colorful birds: There is *NOTHING* wrong with you. You DESERVE to have your name and pronouns respected. You are valid, you are loved, you are important, you are amazing, I support you one hundred percent. Love, Alex
Thank you, my name is Alexzander so we have the same name kinda, lol, but my mom told me that my pronouns were just too hard for her, and she’s not sure if she can ever call me he/him. It makes me feel like my pronouns are too much, so thank you
@@Alexander-ck8xv you are valid no matter what
I love the colorful birds. So pretty in their own way
thank you. i needed that.
I cant tell you how much this means to me. Thank you- I needed that
I loved the phrase : "In nature, a flock will attack any bird that is more colorful that the others because being diferent is seen as a threat"
Oh, when he smiles at himself after cutting off his hair ... it is the purest joy! And I think the father, after seeing the painting, may be able to understand and love him.
Coming back to this song 5 years after. it helped me going through so much and is one of the things that saved me back in the days. To anyone struggling out here, it gets better. It takes time and strength but it gets better.
Hi. I’m Logan, a 12 year old transgender boy. I have recently come out, but I’m still called she/her and my deadname right in front of me. I have thought of suicide and I self harm but this song gives me hope. Hope I can transition, hope I can be accepted and hope that I will be happy, thank you for making this video because it saved my life :)
hi logan! I am a trans boy from Brazil, I wanted to say that I am with you and I support you I hope you can make the transition. if you want to talk call me, i will be willing to listen to you.
Hey Logan, I also came out as trans when I was 12 back in 2016 and I had to deal with those problems before, but remember, it gets better. It might take a while, maybe even years, but I'm one hundred percent sure that you'll be able to transition because it'll be on your terms. I know it'll seem hopeless at times, but don't give up. Those who mispronounce you, CORRECT THEM, yell at them if you must. Those who speak ill of you in your presence, CONFRONT THEM, even if it feels awkward. Don't you dare let them make you feel like you're obligated to accept their poor treatment towards you or make you feel like you're over reacting. You deserve to fight back (with words) for respect and human decency. Make them understand that this isn't something they can just gloss over by being persistent. Don't lose yourself to that feeling of nothingness and know that YOU are not alone. I wish you well on your journey Logan, don't be afraid to reach out to anybody including me.
hey. don’t ever think of suicide.theres so much more to do,theres so much you haven’t done.think of the people you’d miss,any pets,your favourite food,your favourite band,the characters in your favourite books and films.theres always something worth staying alive for. anyone that deadnames you,correct them.dont be scared.logan is your name,and that is what you should be called.so many more people accept you than dont,and im always here to talk if you need it. stay alive.its worth it.i promise.
Logan, I’m so sorry the people that you trusted enough to come out to mistreat you like that, but I promise things will get better. Either they will learn with time (as my parents have/are) or you will find your squad of people who respect you for who YOU are, authentically. There will be opportunities to get out of the situation if it is too rough, I promise, you just may have to stay strong for a bit & I believe you can do it!!! You are so strong!! Also, if you’re ever have those feelings of despair & you live in the US, please don’t hesitate to call the Trans Lifeline (+18775658860) or go to their website (translifeline.org) or any of the other crisis hotlines & they can connect you with someone who has your back, kid. There’s no shame at all in seeking help & you deserve it!!! You should be able to thrive!!!!! Sending healing & love!
I wish I had the guts to come out at that age, but again, I didn't find out how I was feeling until I was 16. I know that there is not much you can do since you are only 12, but trust me. accepting yourself as trans takes a lot of weight off, even if society thinks differently. You will be happy again. It may just take some time. :)
“There's something wrong in the village in the village. They stare in the village in the village” “Theres nothing wrong with you it's true it's true” “One page of the bible isn't worth a life” These lines really hit
It hit me really hard I thought I was the only one wow “Theres nothing wrong with you it's true it's true” that really got me
Same. I don't entirely understand myself yet, and don't feel like I fit in with my family. I often think there's something wrong with me. When I was about 9, I didn't want to be a girl anymore. Sometimes, I'd have suicidal thoughts. Going to a Christian school made me feel worse, even though my family wasn't religious to any extent. I hated school and didn't want to exist. Now, I feel more free and all of my friends are in the LGBT+ community. (They saw me sitting alone and invited me over. They're Gaydar was on POINT.)
