Reacting to my Transition Timeline

as a hetero male, and an older one to boot, I just want to tell you that you are beautiful, intelligent, and I'm glad you were able to finally be you. Thank you for giving all of us an education on transgender, so that we may better understand and accept everyone for who they are, not who others think they should be.

I just saw your video, I’m a grandma 👵 and still learning about the transition and the courage that kids like you need to have. Thank you to give me the opportunity to learn from your experiences. Good for your aunt and mom. We have to learn to be more open mind and ready to see the reality. You are a very pretty girl, all the good for you.

You are so beautiful! My favorite thing about watching transition videos is watching the person literally blossoming over time. You can see that sparkle begin to to shine in them when they start living as their true self. It's soooooo beautiful. I'm happy that you can finally be happy as your true self.

Your face was so naturally feminine even into your teens, you were very fortunate.

It’s so relatable! Shows the struggle within and glad that your aunt posed the question! Thanks for being so real.

​A butterfly emerges from her cocoon, more beautiful than ever imagined.

As a mother it literally hurts my heart that you had to live for so long uncomfortable in your body. I will always support my son in any life decisions that he makes (positive of course) I’m happy that your happy ❤️

I didn't understand why this video was making me emotional then I realized it was the very first video of Maya I ever watched! It's amazing to see how much she's grown and have more context to all she's been through. I have been watching Maya for the last 5 years and will surely continue for many more! Hope she can achieve even more and grow ever happier and more accomplished 💜

I’m so glad you got to do this when young. Enjoy your time now as it is truly a gift with so many opportunities ahead of you. Best of luck for your continued path.

You made a good, instructive moment in talking about parts of transition happening at different rates. I felt that was a really helpful insight.

I have so much admiration and respect for you. You have so much class. You're intelligent, articulate and have such a calming, trusting energy. Thank you for sharing, wishing you all the best!!

You transitioned beautifully. I’m so happy you’re who you truly want to be. <3

Thank you for sharing your story - you are so brave. I think even more so than you may know ! You honestly have been through so much, to go through schooling and to have to hide your dysmorphia for so many years. It warmed my heart when you mentioned that you would wear your hair extensions and take that time in your dorm room to feel beautiful. I’m so glad you have such a supportive family - I also had to add that you honestly looked more feminine than me pre hormones - you’ve always looked beautiful, thank you for sharing your story so openly. What an amazing transition, even the photos from 5/6 months where you’re already a gorgeous young woman. You come across so gentle, sweet and charming. I’m just so glad you are where you are now- being able to feel and be the best version of yourself - for yourself ! I think that’s the meaning of life, being able to find ourselves and share that with others who are struggling, in whatever way it may be. All the love !

I love the artistry in all of these photos, Maya. You are very talented! Wishing you all the best in your theater / film-making career. I have no doubt you will go far!

You’re a sweet person and really open up your heart. Much happiness ❤️

Amazing timeline story Maya. Thank you for showing. What a journey for you. You are a big inspiration to me. I absolutely love all you've had on here over the last few years.😊

I honestly applaud u for everything u have been through. I'm happy u know who u r girl!

I'm not sure why I was lucky enough to have your post surgery video pop up in my recommendations but now I've watched a few of your videos. ❤ What an amazing woman!

I just realize while watching this how lucky i am to be born on my own "skin" and never felt i wanted to be someone else but couldn't, i can't imagine how hard it must been for you and other people who goes through this and how brave you are to go through this journey. I feel happiness for you and i'm grateful for what i have. You're beautiful in and out

wow you are an absolute inspiration. how incredibly facinating! good on you for being who you are, probably one of the hardest things you can do in your life
