I just saw that last week and liked it also. I thought it would be good to share with anyone I encounter who doesn't understand the mismatch some of us feel. I love her attitude of compassion and gentleness yet compete confidence in what she is saying.

Great video!! Thanks!!
I just spent the past few hours there fielding a few of the negative comments there and applauding the positive ones. I was GOING to say that, sadly, trying to teach people to accept people like us is like trying to teach a chimp to drive a car, but I think you'd have MUCH better luck with the chimp!! :-( The good thing is, there are a LOT more likes on that video than dislikes!! I think the likes are at least 3 to 1 dislike!!

Meh I put absolutely no stock in 99% of youtube comments anymore, at least that many are trolls.
FYI she has a good website as well.

With that much beauty, that much poise, that much confidence, and I suspect that much rehearsal, how could she fail to be impressive? Perhaps Sammie would give a professional assessment of her performance? I don't know how much there is there for bi-gender types. I'm not even certain that her presentation does not carry a faint whiff of 'transition or nothing' sentiment.

I liked that video, she does a very good presentation. The power and passion she showed for the pieces that were emphasised really highlighted the messages for me.
I didn't think there was a transition or nothing message in there as a way forward, only the description of the limitations in the law in the US, and the path she took. Actually I saw this as one of the pieces that she was highlighting for change.
I liked the explanation about the vigil too, very poignant.
