Video request - Q&A part 3

I too grew up in a male dominated household. Pre-internet, Pre-cell phone. But like you I found out at 5 years of age that my predisposition to girl-things when I saw them was startling, (for the girls). Not so mush the Barbie things, I knew that was out, but the small plastic kitchens! Oh boy! What fun I could have! But..... It was kindergarten that pushed the - follow the boy path please - of finding out I could be excluded if I didn't follow suit. Being mid 1970's that was the mainstream. But with some friends I had on my street at the time, some of the happiest memories are the cooking and living room play. "Lift your feet Please!" Varoom! Great Video. Take Care. One question, When are you going to France next?

Good to hear your experience......and reasoning. Sonia....

I can totally relate to your feelings. Caroline Cossey also helped turn my life a bit upside down. I never could have imagined how much better my life would be after transitioning...

I probably should have placed this in one of your Q & A videos, but owing to you asking for ideas in this one, I'll suggest it here. I hope it's OK. You seem to have kept your circle of friends and it appears they have been accepting of your transition from Charlie into Charlie. I think it would be interesting if you could have two or three mates join you in a video to discuss your changes and how they have come to accept Charlie reborn. I'm not sure what would work best, whether to have them on one at a time or as a group. I can see advantages either way. If I had a vote, then I'd vote for the group dialogue. For others considering transitioning, I think this would be helpful encouragement on how to handle transitioning, and more importantly, how little relationships have to change. My other suggestion is to do it both ways.

Thanks so much for the amazing video, your reply and sharing your experiences. So very much appreciated, Can't wait for your "Looking back now it all makes sense video". For me looking back the clues were all over the place, but I either buried them, did not understand them, tried to ignore them or simply just did not join the dots. When I did though, oh wow was it a bolt of lightening..  

Thanks, Christine! Nice stories. BTW you look great!

My therapist told me he wished he had £1 for every time he had heard how happy his clients were in childhood when they had been mistaken as the opposite gender . He told me this when I told the same thing of been mistaken on holiday and how good I felt . I have read Caroline Cossey's book (Tula ) defiantly recommend to all transgender girls and for any friends trying to get to grips with the whole consent . My dad thinks Caroline Cossey is a beautiful woman and was surprised to find out her past . Thanks for another fab post 😀

Hello Christina.I love the word ,duality.It's one I use a lot to discribe my thoughts with respect to my dysphoria,we really do lead double lives,one the world sees, and the others hidden inside safe until the day it is no longer capable for us to contain. You are looking good and sound as if your happy.Have you found a partner yet,have any boy's taken you out yet. Maybe you can show us nice views near where you live,maybe talk and drive with your go-pro on.Anyway until your next vid keep safe. Emily.

Excellent chat, Thankyou for sharing. I story is pretty much the same, but had no brothers or sisters, so I would spend time with cousins , but coming to think of it now, I used to hang around my mothers best friend's daughter. I can remember her earrings she used to wear, they were made from a fine gold chain, and at both end there was a straight pin, like the part of a stud, the two end would dangle. Anyways enough of that.... Hey, I have a Question: how long into transition and on HRT, did you go full time ? Cheers BRIE 💙💛💖

This video is quite sweet x

Thank you for sharing this!

Hi charlie maybe you could do a video on the cost of your transition

I really enjoy watching your video. I was wondering what about face and body products?  What REALLY helps ward off wrinkles, lines, and dark spots? And how does one go about finding something that works for her own self without spending a fortune? How does one go about finding that miracle cream that helps smooth out her skin without having to buy 20 bottles that do nothing? Any thoughts? Thanks :)

I don’t know if you have any older photos, but how about a progression of hair lengths to show over the years how long your hair has gotten.

You look so nice and friendly

That’s funny, I thought the same way. I liked the female heroines and didn’t really care to much about the male ones. I liked the girls because the boys always said they were weak and I knew we were weren’t!

Excellent.

At 4 I tried on my friends sister cowgirl skirt 🎊🎉💐🌷🌸🌼💐🌺🥀💜🎀🌹🥀🌹

Gorgeous!

And now you are a beautiful woman too! Cool.
