I have a YouTube channel where my goal is to demistify transsexuality by making videos to educate about it, answering fans questions and showing how ordinary we really are.
I thought it would be appropriate to share that here, so I'm posting my latest video. If you want to subscribe and help by sharing it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Promethea, I really liked your video.
So many cons :(
I would add to the list of Pro's:
-Gender euphoria. Once we finally get to express and experience our gender the way we want it brings enormous feelings of relief and happiness. Cis people will never know this feeling as they have taken it for granted since birth.
-Also I think most trans people having gone through this experience are stronger and more self-reliant and determined. Having broken out of our gender box we have usually developed a thick skin and a real perseverance.

Hello, can't really see anything overly positive of being trans over CIS. But I'll give it a shot.
Can't get pregnant.
No menstrual cycle.
I know what guys like...and feel sexually. I have very special knowledge on the subject. :P
Gee, think thats it.
Wait! Added - I have a unique prospective of living two genders and have greater understanding and respect for both.

Its also likely you are a more varied being.
Its possible you have a broad spectrum from intellectual to emotional.
People usually are fascinated by that.
