Queer Woman VS. Trans Man | Our Coming Out Experiences

"I want to kiss girls but I don't want to be a girl kissing a girl" is the most relatable sentence ever oh my god.

As a guy still in the closet because I live in a small town and fear my safety, being outed or coming out are genuinely two of the scariest things in my life. I hope one day we as a community will get to the point where we won't have to fear being ourselves.

Legend says sams mom was at stone wall.

Dude I'm so pumped that y'all are doing this now. You guys are fucking awesome plz be my new online parents lmaooo

your guys’ ship name is salmon even though it’s not spelt like both of your names at all the pronunciation is perfect...

huge props to sams mom for standing up for her son ❤️❤️

I relate to Sam about being uncomfortable talking about being trans. I pass as cis and none of my friends know that I’m trans🤡 it’s mostly because I never had the choice to share this part of myself until now that I’ve moved from a small shitty town. I know my friends would accept me but I also know that I just don’t have the mental energy to explain my gender to others.😭 Kinda haunts me more lately because I know that if I get in a relationship again I need to tell them, you know? I’m scared my future partner will spill the beans to my friends that I’m trans, it happened in my last relationship which was not fun.

i genuinely love when other LGBTQ+ people talk about their experiences openly because it brings me so much joy to understand all of these different lives. like, it's not just that i love relating to people, i love hearing stories completely different to my own, and i think that comes from how young i am, because as i'm writing this i'm still in high school and i just love learning about other lives because i think life and love and identity and self-expression are the most beautiful things. i just don't understand how anyone can look at things like this and be disgusted because all human experiences are so beautiful, and i believe that's because no matter what you believe in, we only have this life once and getting to see other people experiencing it with you in so many unique ways is just absolutely beautiful. and i do believe in other existences, i do believe in past lives, but you only live those specific lives once, you know? anyway, i'm rambling too much haha, i have horrible ADHD and i'm a bit under the weather, but i just needed to get that out. basically i'm thanking Sam and Shannon for sharing their experiences, i loved learning about them :)

Sam's mum is queen of the allies.

The smile I have when a new episode drops >>>>>>>>>>>>

I love Sam not knowing that gay marriage is federally legalized Trans rights means ftm himbo rights <3

MTF here, just had bottom surgery in the state of Utah. Happy to answer any questions anyone has :)

So glad I missed school today, this is way better than science class

I’m 23 and only found out that I’m trans/a Demi boy like last year. As a kid I never really gave mind to my gender identity. I was just vibin. I’ve always liked a lot of feminine things so I think that played a big role in why I never really questioned it. In early middle school I found out I liked girls. Thought I was a lesbian, then found out i was pan. And then came the CRISIS that was my gender identity. I unintentionally became very androgynous looking, so people (mostly kids) would ask if I was a boy or girl. And I found myself freezing up, and asking myself, “shit, okay wait hold up, they don’t know I’m a girl. I could tell them anything. But what do I say????”. I don’t remember too much but I definitely experimented with pronouns and clothes. Eventually I gave up on figuring it out for a while. Then last year I started experimenting again. I went down a pipe line of Demi-girl, then Non-binary, I tried out he/him and found that I am the most comfortable using those, then finally found out I’m trans/Demi-boy. I’ve finally found myself. I came out on FB and got positive responses, although my family is still weird about it sometimes. At one point (not to my face but to my brother) my Dad said I was trying to “copy my brother”. (He’s trans as well and came out before I even knew I was trans). And my Mom just…hasn’t used he/him for me but uses they/them ?? She did the same exact thing to my brother when he came out but we all thought she got better and more accepting. And she is, just in a weird way. Like she got my brother on T and says she’s proud of him, she said she was proud of me too. Idk. Hopefully they come around.

2:44 knowing I’m not the only one who felt this way makes me feel so much better😭🙏

I also grew up in NC and still reside here. I relate to Shannon so much, I'm only 21 but I knew from a very young age I was a lesbian. Started dating girls in middle school and slowly came out as bi as I entered college. My family found out and my stepdad had a negative reaction and now completely sweeps it under the rug. My mom is like Sam's and just sees me for me, as her child and someone to fight for. I appreciate hearing similar stories and hope to find a wonderful partner soon. Thank you guys for this episode 🥺 ❤

The look on Sam's face when he says "so that's...16..(???) years ago??!!" that's me everytime i think about my childhood or even youth what the hell man.

11:53 as someone who is a queer teenager in a southern state, i relate sooo much to you Shannon. Thanks for telling about your experiences 🫶

Omg literally I think so many queer women/afabs can relate to thinking oh this is normal girls like to snuggle and think about how pretty other girls are😂❤

A thing i came to believe about different types of relationships is that "non-reproducing" relationships are much more REAL and deeper than those relationships that are able to reproduce "naturally".
