Transgender 101 on YouTube
Online videos to help you learn more
Lately, some non-transgender people have asked me for introductory material about what it means to be transgender. Maybe you’re interested in the topic too. And maybe, like many people, you enjoy watching short online videos to learn about new topics. I don’t create videos on this topic, but I’ve found a few to help you get started.
There’s a mix of good and bad on YouTube, but if you run the right search term, you might find the perfect video for you — one that puts you on a path to learning more.
Remember that, if you find a video informative or inspiring, you can press the “like” button and also subscribe to the creator to see more of their work in the future. YouTube will show you more of whatever it believes you want to watch.
