Watch 5 years in the life on one young transguy, as his voice and pictures tell the story of how he’s grown not just as a man, but as a person.
Skylar posted this on his 5th anniversary on testosterone.
His photos and narrative tell the story of how he became the man he is, how he decided to become open about being a transperson, and how his transition changed him for the better, not just physically, but in all parts on his life.
It’s a story that needs to be heard. So many stories of trans*youth are filled with tragedy. This young man is happy.
And he says this on his youtube page:
I just wanted to clarify one thing with this 5 year reflection; it was a lot of hard work to get to where I am now, and testosterone only assisted me a fraction in that. Testosterone didn’t put muscles on this frame, pushing iron and running miles did. Testosterone didn’t put a permanent smile on my face — this past summer, in June of 2013, after years of struggling to find an inner happiness, I found myself standing on a cliff next to the ocean, my arms spread wide, feeling the wind on my back and smiling to myself as I realized I finally felt whole, at peace, and happy. That is what has made everything worth it — that moment that I bring with me every day. I would not change anything.
