Ok, so anyone who has a YouTube account knows it serves up recommended videos based on what you watch.  It was only a matter of time before transgender related videos started showing up in my list.  Understandable, of course, considering I've been researching ->-bleeped-<- while trying to figure myself out.

So I watched a news story about a transgender child.  And my response to the video had me speechless.  I am not an emotional person.  Or at least my emotions are buried so deep people think of me as cold and heartless sometimes.

This story had me balling.  I mean, sobbing, gasping, loss of control balling.

Is it just that anyone with a heart would break down, or is this just some part of me making a connection so strong that I can't help myself?  I mean, I still have tears coming down my face as I type this and I finished the video about a half hour ago!

I'm going to post a link to the story.  I reviewed the TOS to make sure this is ok.  No advertising involved.  And while it is a news story, I think it contributes better to the community in this sub form.

If you are interested, make sure you have tissue nearby (either that, or I am just that messed up!)

Here you go:



This one had me going too, but not as strongly: 



(P.s.  moderators, if I linked incorrectly, can you please move this to the news section?  Really good stories)
