The Gatekeeping of Transgender Bodies

Transgender bodies never get to be for ourselves... but always stigmatized for others.

The Gatekeeping of Transgender Bodies

Hi, I just wanted to say that I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm cis and it gave me a much deeper understanding of what it feels like to transition. Even more than that, it made me think long and hard about my perception of my own body. I'm neurodivergent and there's just something about the way you explain things that's easier for me to understand.

Being non-binary I really like mixing and matching both beard, high heels, suits, skirts shirts and V-necks as I find pretty. I see others doing the same more and more on TV. I get to see people where "normal and comfortable" is not ultra-man or ultra-woman. But just how most of us look in our everyday life, but with the everyday clothing from both sections at the clothes store. Feeling comfortable, feeling me in a place where friends and colleagues say "I do not care" makes me happy :) Because I don't do it for their gase, but my own. So that I feel happy. If ultra-woman feels happy in frills or revealing clothing, that is great. The series Armitage III thought me how this can be important to some. If ultra-man wants to be all muscles, because it makes them happy, that is great too. There are dangers of becoming ultra-man, ultra-woman and as mentioned in this video_ ultra-trans because the gase and positive comments of others gives self-worth in moments of low confidence. So ultra-anything can be an issue, if it is a problem. Over-eating, under-eating. No exercise, dying from enlarged heart or doping. But for most people it isn't about the ultra it is about having everyday life. Being an Olympian is an edge case that is philosophical more than reality both for me and others. This video hits something that is much more common, that affects so many more. Thank you for taking it up as a topic. Many I meet want to talk about the extremes and ultra-anything What my opinion of Olympians and elite sports for transgendered. But at my level of sport capability it is not an issue, a lot of people are better than me at badminton. For me it is about having fun playing badminton. I have had time to find myself before going public. I got the time to know who I am. It took years, even decades. But time helped me to realise: I just want normal :) To feel normal, which I get to do now :) In part because of videos like this that educate on the normal everyday life of a trans person. Not the ultra-olympian edge cases. Thank you
