My video is finally relased for global viewing after 2 years since filming. It has been released in China for over a year and  has won awards in Beijing and Shanghai.

I have changed so much in 2 years.

Go to Youtube, Vice Media, Video

Title:
Out of Place:The chinese transgender community fighting for equality.

I hope it will inspire others.
When we first start our journey the perception and moral values all dramatically change in wonderment. As we evolve further it all becomes normal again but the journey has changed us forever.

You've changed so much since those were filmed that it's kind of difficult to recognise you from your forum profile pictures. Congrats.

Here's the links to the documentaries. There's tons of video's on that Vice YouTube channel and they will get hard to find before long.

Thanks for making those documentaries and for setting up a charity but it sounded to me like it was focused on MtF only? Maybe I misunderstood.

I also would have liked to have got more information about what is happening to transgender people in China and where they are at with being accepted and what support structures they have in place. That's something that was not covered in sufficient depth. Another video series to go into that a bit more would be helpful.

Thank you warlock for the head up.  I will definitely go see the videos.
Thank you for telling us.
This is a blatant push to see it later.
I am a biotch.

Warlockmaker, thank you for sharing about your life in these videos.  You are very lucky to have kept all your hair despite transitioning at your age!  Your hair looks great!

It was also good to get a glimpse into what life is like for transgender people in China.  It's really sad how difficult things are for them there, even for completely passable trans men like Mr. C.  I was kind of shocked that even the surgeon who was doing a trachea shave for an MtF patient (at 15:22 in the second video) referred to our condition as a "disease".  sigh...  China has a long way to go...

One question though - at the end of the second video, you said, "I don't see myself as a full-blown female.  I do see myself as a third gender that's female.  I don't need to dream about being a woman anymore at night. I am one."  To me that sounds like saying that you don't see yourself as female, yet you're also saying that you are female.  I don't quite understand that?

 Hi Warlockmaker

Bobbi I watched both parts today and thank you for making them.  After watching the first part I had to take a break, catch my breath and wipe away tears. I felt you could have been talking about me.

  Thank you.

Excellent representation of not only of a "older" TG but also us as a community.  It was sane, normal and shows you committed to your true self and helping others coming along. 
So proud.

Warlockmaker,

I liked the candid sincerity of the videos as a whole, and the unambiguous openness I sensed in you. Thank you. I'm glad that you are there.

Thank you all for your very kind comments.

Echo, in China there is no fear of physical harm or vocal abuse but there is that subtle non acceptance. Chinese families treasure the male child and even more treasured for those from the one child policy. Thus family acceptence is exceptionally difficult. China's new generation is changing ...thats why this documentary is important. The word disease has been badly intrepreted. The doctors are compassionate but still need a learning curve.
I used to want to transition to a female and be stealth, I now am a female but accept and proud to be the 3rd gender.

Dan, I partially answered how China is evolving in TGs above. Being buddhist it will change with the new generation. It will be difficult to change most of the older population. TGs do not live in fear of physical abuse but there is a great deal of emotional battles in the family values to be faced.

I will be speaking at the HK LGBT film festival in September. Hong Kong, China is changing rapidly. No violence and its agaist the law to verbally abuse us, and the law is enforced.

Change will be easier than the West....maybe its the inflexible christian way of life makes change even more difficult.

Hi WarlockMaker,

Thank you so much for telling us about your videos.  It's truly inspiring for an older transperson like me.  I'm also amazed that each time you post a new profile picture, you keep looking younger and younger.  Obviously this life is very good for you :)

Take care,
Paige :)

I watched Part 1 & 2 this morning before heading over to my first endocrinologist appointment (I am in the lobby right now).  Bobbi, by sharing so much of what is personal and amazing you are literally changing the world. 

I found the documentary so inspiring, but also in places chilling - the real world.  Some areas mirror my background.  The documentary underlines how we all have so much in common but we each face unique challenges.  Age, workplace issues, genetics, money, family, friends, where we live.

I hope someday you will film Part 3.

Thank you for being you.
