Hey guys, it is Wednesdays with Chaseypoo.
Today, my hair is crazy, I look like I haven't showered in a
while, and my lip is like all messed up here, right there.
Here's the thing, it was very dry, and then I think I ripped some skin
off, and then last night, Ash was having the-Ash was-Ash had
hiccups and he was very sad, and I was like 'Imma spook him' So I
was in the bathroom, and he just walks by and I'm like 'this isn't
gonna scare him, should I even do this' Sometimes people throw
things at other people to scare them, I'm like 'I'm gonna
take the chance.'
So he walks by, and I go *Chase noise* and he has
a glass in his hand, bless his fff, bless him for not dropping
it, but he-it scared him so much, and I like, bit down on my lip,
and it started to bleed a lot, so that's the story of my lip.
But that-that took like a minute of your time, but today's topic
is transitioning before and after hormones, so.
This topic is really interesting, because, I was so scared when I-when I was
a youth, and this might be hard for some people to like understand,
like maybe people who are a bit younger, um what-when
I started to transition I did not know that you could transition
at a young age, I thought you could either transition
cos you-when you were four cos, you know, Jazz was the only child
on youtube, and in the media, not really media, just really on
youtube, and then, or you had to be like over 18 or over 25 or something
to do it, so I didn't tell anybody, I just kinda like, told
youtube but not really.
So I didn't really transition at all before hormones.
I knew that I was trans, and I had appointments
and stuff like that but, I slowly started to tell people my name,
and I waited for this for after high school so if you have
any questions about how to transition in highschool I'm the-I can't,
I cannot answer those questions, I can direct you to people
who have transitioned in highschool but I did not, I waited, um.
So before I started hormones I told people about my name, and
like it took them such a long time to get it, and to like get it
right, and it sucked so bad, but I mean I didn’t-I didn’t know
what else to do, right?
And the male pronouns thing did not work, before I started T, I
did live with someone for a couple of months before, but they had
only known me as Chase, and they knew me as like, being trans, so
that was my first real experience and my first real, like-its
funny cos I actually lived in that apartment building just like,
literally a floor down I can see my old room from here, um.
I-I- it was- amazing to have that experience I
was like this is-this is what I want, I was so happy, because I
was like, being seen as who I was, before I actually started T. So
that was for me, but I do know some people who do not want to go
on T ever, and had been able to change their name.
Um, its very hard to do that I don’t know how they did that before the laws were
changed but, I mean this is Quebec right, so we’re different
I don’t know how you guys do it wherever you are, but-damn these
lights, man, they’re great but they hurt my eyes, I need to like,
get used to that, I don’t know, how you do that, maybe its cos
like I’m really not in the Sun often, cos its winter, and um there’s
not that much Sun.
I have very blue eyes, and my eyes are very sensitive in the
sunlight, but I need the sunlight because I’m depressed, so it’s
a double-edged sword.
Well, I already have Beauty all over this shirt, there you go-oh st, its been so long
since I brought you, so when I started the-oh you look so good
in the light, Beauty, not that you like…Papito I'm a celebtrity
look at me I look so good get my good angle I don't want to look
fat *chase noise* And Minou is just sitting like 'don't you daaaare
pick me up' Don't you daaaaare.
Aww, Minou you look so beauty in the light, he's so
like, let me like...aww he like the light-Minou is inside of me
right now.
I'm so scared, I'm so scared...*pain* I'm scared
because Minou got that big claws, like he is thick.
Thique.
T-H- I-Q-U-E.
Paws.
And his claws are like *Chase noise* He sliced my
scar, like, you can't see it cos the lights, but, right here.
He sliced it.
Anyways, so, back to the point.
We have-we...no, me, I did, um hormones, and then I started to really
transition, for me that was like 'I'm doin' this thing for real
now' and it was not like before hormones I wasn't like, sure,
but I was.
And by that I guess I mean like-the worst example I shouldnt
even be talking about this but I wasn't really sure if I should
go on T or not, but I was like 'you know what, I was supossed
to be a guy, I'm gonna let the hormones take my body like they're
supossed to, if I don't like it in the future, I'll just get
off.
I've definately made that joke with that face, um more than
ten times on youtube but that's not for here.
Okay we're getting up close to the long part of the video, but yes, I did the hormones
and I was like 'this is true now, this is real now, this
is me, me when it me' and, it was a personal thing, and I'm very
glad that I did it, I could go off of hormones, so I guess this
like, this video could also be like, cos its like transition before
and after hormones but I was on hormones, and then I went off,
and then I went back on, but I still transitioned when I was off,
I wasn't like 'I'm a girl' like .... I wasn't like that either,
it just...the cats are distracting me and they're cute.
I'm gonna go now, and I hope you have a great week aaaaaand I'm making a big
announcement and by I, I mean the channel.
