Often, we transfolks are asked what it feels like to be a brain in the wrong skin. And we try our damnedest to explain or draw analogies, but these are usually met with blank stares. It's a very difficult concept to wrap your head around, unless you've experienced it for yourself.
Late last year, I came across a video which is, by far, the best representation of the joys of transgenderism that I've ever seen.
It's a very, very powerful short CGI film that I honestly can't view all the way through. It's just way too upsetting for me. Even thinking too much about it (or blogging about it) still tends to make my eyes wet and my throat sting.
So, yeah, fair warning: You may not want to watch this if you're trans, especially MtF.

I watched it until the end. By then I was sobbing. Just thinking about watching it again causes me problems.
