Title: too late for youtube?
Post by: xxaussiexx on December 27, 2009, 09:46:10 PM
Hey guys,

Do you think its too late to start documenting my transition as i've been on hormones now for 9months and heaps of changes have already happened...Just wondering if its still worth it.

Cheers,
Joshua

You could always just vlog anyway. Plenty of people have vlogs that started after the most substantial changes had already happened.  ;D

I don't see why not.

I mean, it wouldn't really help younger transmen who want to see the effects of HRT and such but it doesn't really matter. There should still be people who are interested.

On top of that, there are several videos of transmen who are just starting on HRT so someone more experience and further down the line could be just as interesting if not more.

I don't think it's too late. If you wanna log, then log. You've still got a few years of dramatic T related change ahead of you. Hell, nobody says the same forever.

If you're worried about what other people think - one of the things I found most interesting was the longer term results. I think there needs to be a mix of both short and long term out there.

You still have a lot of changes left, so if you want to do it, go for it.

I personally hate the in-between stage and wanted nothing really to do with documenting it. I've taken a bunch of photos, not so much for documentation of changes but so that I can have a current picture of myself.  I like the way I look now.  And yes I have put them side by side for comparison purposes, but that's not why I took them.

Do what works for you and it's never too late.

Go for it dude!! Would be interesting to hear what you're going through at your stage etc. Plus if you're willing to show photo progression if you have that - its always interesting and inspiring to see where I will end up (hopefully)!!
Go nuts bro - it's you're channel they can't stop you!!

I think you should vlog for 2 main reasons:

1. to illustrate life post-transition
2. to strengthen the trans community on youtube. visibility is what will help us in our quest for great social recognition.
