I would be confused as heck!” he replies. “You’re a boy who wanted to transgender into a girl? That would make me confused.”She patiently poses, “What if I don’t feel right in this gender?
What if I’m sad in this gender and would be happy another gender?”“That would be good for you,” he says, already starting to get it.Related: Hiker Veronica Ashcroft is taking the trans community to new heights — literallyAfter about a minute more back and forth of him coming around, she asks, “Would you still love me the same?” In a response quicker than any in the video so far, he immediately says yes.“Would you still be confused?” she asks.“No,” he says, “because you already told me what you feel like.”And that’s that.
