So we basically wanted to make this video to discuss the real issues of being transgender and just discuss the struggle we have to go through every day. It takes a lot of bravery to be transgender and to go through your transition. So let’s jump into some of the key topics and issues of being trans. Gender identity we can’t make anyone understand what it’s like to wake up in the wrong body.
5 Problems Transgender Face
source: straight.com- Passability the influences of “passing” from a society standpoint is really unethical, and it’s so depressing, and it’s just so discouraging with someone’s decides to transition, and they feel like they can’t “pass” or be viewed as the gender. They’re supposed to be. Because the outside society world says, you don’t fit this criterion. It is so discouraging any fellow trans people out there, please do not let negative influences you determine your transition.
Please do not! Because it really breaks my heart when a trans person comes to me for advice, is like, “I don’t look like my authentic… gender because of what someone said or because of how society views me.” “I can’t transition” regardless of the stereotype of passibility everyone transitions differently be happy you are in the day of age where you can transition and even though society is still closed minded. - Healthcare we think should be the biggest issue in the trans community and LGBT community in general. Being transgender specifically and having the right health insurance for you to undergo your transition is very rare and it’s very difficult to obtain at least here in the United States.
For one, you have to go to a specific hormone doctor who is called an endocrinologist, and not all endocrinologist have experience with transgender people so they can technically provide you with the hormones but they don’t necessarily know what to prescribe and the amount to prescribe. For a trans person to smoothly transition and for the hormones to adapt naturally in their body. - If you’re not one of those lucky trans people who live in a metropolitan area, then finding this doctor can be really difficult and it’s a lot of struggle, and there needs to be more awareness of the community and especially more awareness of the struggle to get health care coverage for trans people. So it is easier for us to obtain the certain coverage so we can smoothly undergo our transition. For someone who is not transgender, you will not ever understand this. So we can only explain it to some extent for you to sympathize with us but waking up to a body that does not match your mind is very difficult.
- The depression and the self-doubt a trans person has to go through every day when they wake up, and they realize they are not in the right body along with a gender identity you know there is a high suicide rate because not a lot of people admit that they are trans or they are too scared to undergo a transition. So they commit suicide, and the percentage of suicides in teen trans is unacceptable, it’s way too high and we feel like if we bring awareness to the community and if society starts viewing us as regular people trans people will not be as afraid to come out, and the suicide rate eventually will drop, and that is what needs to happen.
- We feel if there are more LGBT clinics or if there are more resources for Trans people to get the health coverage they need, there won’t be this issue and there won’t be this huge anxiety of trans people thinking that “I can’t get coverage.” “How am I supposed to get coverage?” “When can I start my transition?” So really we think health care is a big issue and we need to change our health care coverage. So Trans people can transition a lot more smooth hormones, in our opinion hormones, make any transitions a lot easier it is another step, it is that next step is that you are on no hormones we are fully on testosterone.

Side Effects of being a Transgender
These were the 5 problems transgender face in their life, and these all are based on the reality of the world. This is how a Transgender is born, how my hormones are developing in my body is from a natural born male. And we will say it’s being on estrogen is so much easier. When you are on hormones, it is 100% better, and the quality of life is 100% better being one hormone than being off hormones. We will say that so. It’s a true struggle when you are a trans person like myself, and you can’t get the hormones in time, and you can’t get the hormones because of health coverage issues even if you live in a big city as we do, there is still such a huge issue with the health care system and being trans you can’t advocate that or can’t stress that enough.
