Woman Finally Transitioned And Became Who She Was Meant To Be After Years Of Bullying

ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes we don’t feel happy; life just keeps bringing us down and we can’t seem to get up. We find it hard to keep moving forward and reach our goals. We find it difficult to be who we want to be, scared of embracing our true selves.

However, Jasmine Vine managed to get out of this slope and find her true self. After having a bad upbringing and being bullied by her schoolmates, she realized she wasn’t who she wanted to be and started transitioning from male to female. Soon Jasmine started seeing her true self in the mirror. Jasmine is now glowing, full of life, and is happy to help and inspire others on their journey of discovering themselves.

“My name is Jasmine Vine: a name which I picked for myself when I was becoming the wonderful transgender woman I am today.

The first time I remember feeling like taking my own life, I was 7 years old. My home life was filled with violence, my parents often chose drugs over food, and I was already a social outcast, being called the f-word in kindergarten. None of my family members had jobs. They taught me how to get the most out of government systems. They even thought me how to steal.”

Jasmine was born a male, but never felt like she was meant to be in a male body

“When I turned 14, which I never thought I would, I started documenting my transition on YouTube, and this was quite popular. I often received feedback saying I have helped people find their courage, come out, and feel confident in themselves. Throughout my darkest times, this kept me alive.

I’ve always had a deep desire to help people, and knowing I could do that got me through times I didn’t think I would get through. In saying this, somewhere down the line, I lost sight of my true purpose/calling.”

Not to mention other difficulties she faced in life: constant bullying, family, and addiction problems

“It’s not possible to shorten my story enough to fit this small space, so I’ll zoom over a couple of things: I was addicted to marijuana. I was diagnosed with depression, bipolar, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and god knows what else. I hit my lowest low, spending some time in a psychiatric facility medicated out of my mind. I lost both of my parents.”

“Basically, my brain became my worst enemy. My mind was a warzone, and I was enemy number one. Many years of psychology and change work later, reading, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, working on myself, and most recently investing in coaching and change work, and now, I have reconnected with my values and my purpose! I have leveled up so quickly, my head is spinning, and I am ready to make up for lost time!”

“I have decided to pursue my entrepreneurial and spiritual dreams, and I’m dedicated to changing as many lives as I can along my journey. I’m ready to put on my cape, pick up my crown, and take over the world! I never thought I could become the person I have created today, but I did, and I am!”

Do also understand that being a they/them doesn't mean you "have" to transition into male or female. :) You can if it suits you. But you can also try aesthetic tricks without the need for surgery, unless that's really important to you.

Wonderful story, but very stereotypical; of course people will say 'she was meant to be a woman' when she looks like that. I get that it's what the LGBT+ community need to put forward for acceptance (and that the non-LGBT+ community have enough trouble with *these* stories) but there are non-beautiful trans people out there who are also 'meant to be' their post-transition sex, who get told 'you're not really trans because if you were you'd be trying harder/passing better'.

I somewhat agree, although I tend to find and ignoring attractiveness, you can tell when someone is comfortable in their own skin, there's an outward, non-vocal confidence people project when they feel accepted, when they accept themselves, some people never find it, in this case I think she has!

She is so beautiful! It makes me so happy to see things like this, I love when people are able to be who they want to be (I know a lot of people can't), I myself am debating on whether or not I want to try to transition, like idk what my gender is but i hate my voice and i hate my hair and i hate my chest and my ass but i am TERRIFIED of change, so idk what to do

Honestly, I feel like your case is more of an acceptance thing. You don't like your hair, ok then try new hairstyles or cut it or whatever to make your hair more likeable. In that process, you'll see the amazing things your hair can do and you'll appreciate it more. Trust me, I've been there, it was more of a racial thing, but I hated my hair for a long time. Your voice, chest, and butt are all parts of who you are and I don't think that's a reason to swap. I'm not telling you what to do, if you think transitioning is better, then ok. Your life isn't my life. I would suggest though trying other things before switching, because switching is something one shouldn't take lightly.

you can be a masculine, don't worry! just because you don't want to act like a stereotypical girl it doesn't mean you're not a girl. I'm a butch lesbian woman, I have really short hair and I only wear trousers; I play football and I hate the attention I get from men because of my female body. but this doesn't mean I'm any less of a woman - behaviors, habits, and preferences don't define our gender.

Sometime ago, youngster were rebel. People used said them what to do, what to think, what to consume and they refuse Nowadays, the established, the firms, the opinion leaders are saying young people "you are like that.." "you must do..." "adapt yourself to ..." and few people says "I am ready to fight and show my criteria is mine and not what you tell me"! What a pity!

please don't wear a binder - it's SERIOUSLY dangerous. almost all of the risks are overlooked by people willing to wear one, but some include persistent pain, rib fractures (a very common occurrence), bacterial infections, severe itching, some scarring, malformation of the chest area, loss of ability to breastfeed, tenderness, loss of muscle mass, postural changes, occasionally shoulder dislocation, numbness, and especially the complete malformation of what would otherwise be a normal, healthy development. I know people who have worn a chest binder and then detransitoned, and the results from wearing the binder look flat-out horrific, like deflated balloons.

Elliot Page has shared a photo of a milestone moment since revealing details of his "life changing" surgery. The Oscar-nominated star posted a shirtless picture of himself spending a joyful moment by the pool to Instagram Monday, captioned: "Trans bb's first swim trunks." In December, the "Juno" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star announced that he is transgender and shared with fans that he/ they were the actor's preferred pronouns. The actor recently opened up about his transition surgery, describing it as "life-saving" and explaining that it led him to feel comfortable in his body for the first time.

@Don't Look A textbook case for detransition is when a non-trans person was led to believe transitioning would make them happier, and it doesn't work. Since Jasmine is happier after her transition, I'm not sure where you're getting the detransition idea from.

I watched a short documentary that included a very knowledgeable psychologist in this area, & trans herself. In the beginning the only expert center was in Boston.They went through so much evaluation & counseling & tests. It takes a lot of time to be completely sure that it wasn't about being unhappy etc. They made as sure as possible that it is about because They KNOW they are say not a male. They ARE a female. That IS the essence of it all. Sadly, this seems to have become an "in" thing. There are young people who have psychiatric issues look on the internet & think that this may be their answer so they decide to give it a try. They go to one of the many clinics that have popped up & they DO NOT know what they're doing. They have a ONE HOUR evaluation, start hormones ina week &surgery in 3 months. Quickly they realize that wasn't it & things are worse. They need to go back. That's what it is.

Yeah, your gender fairy idea is how I explain things too. Except here's the difference: if you're trans, you wake up happy and content. If you're non-binary, you feel roughly the same as you did the day before. If you're cis, you're screaming. And lmao, I seriously wish it was that easy to get hormones or surgery. Maybe puberty blockers (reversible) are given that quickly while they're still being evaluated, but actual hormones? I know trans people who are still waiting for surgery years after they first came out. My best friend can't get hormones unless she's been publicly presenting as female for a year. It's also recommended you don't have surgery soon after starting hormones - you need to see what changes the hormones make to your body/face first.

For those who say she will detransition: research is really against you on this one. People who do transition are not as likely to detransition as conservative media would like you to believe. It does not happen that much, but the stories covering the fact that it does are touted as flagships of proof that transitioning is ineffective.

4points

Istax 2 years ago

I don't know which researching you've been looking at but it seems to go against pretty much all actual tests done on the rates of detransition. The vast majority of people with so-called "Gender Dysphoria" grow out of it in time, from 70% to up to 96%.

If everyone supported everyone else in the way we all want to be supported in a time of need, where the support given has no negative ramifications, that would be supporting someone transitioning. In the right wing world, it's dealt with like the Third Reich is coming to defeat the USA on our own turf. I wish this pretty woman to grow bigger and brighter. She can finally feel comfortable in her own skin and be happy in her mind. I'm happy for her results.

We haven't really found a "different way" to deal with gender dysphoria (the mental condition that causes most to transition) that actually makes the afflicted person happier than they would be through transition, so I'd say this is the best approach.

Trans people are not mentally ill. I don't know where you got that idea from. I am nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. I am not looking for a "healthier solution to my problem." I am happy with the way I am. While I am suicidal, it is not because of me being nonbinary. It's totally different.

Are you a psychiatrist that has went to university for this and studied for years bc they will all tell you that you're completely wrong and the reason why trans people commit suicide is bc people like you deny who they are and that trauma is very hard to overcome even after they happily become the person they were meant to be.

Now hold on a moment. While there are defiantly people who realized transitioning wasn't what they needed, and those who realize their transition won't solve all of their problems, that doesn't delegitimatize the existence of transgender people who have existed for centuries. Trans people's transitioning isn't a problem, it's those who think transitioning will solve all of their problems.

please don't wear a binder - it's SERIOUSLY dangerous. almost all of the risks are overlooked by people willing to wear one, but some include persistent pain, rib fractures (a very common occurrence), bacterial infections, severe itching, some scarring, malformation of the chest area, loss of ability to breastfeed, tenderness, loss of muscle mass, postural changes, occasionally shoulder dislocation, numbness, and especially the complete malformation of what would otherwise be a normal, healthy development. I know people who have worn a chest binder and then detransitoned, and the results from wearing the binder look flat-out horrific, like deflated balloons.

Elliot Page has shared a photo of a milestone moment since revealing details of his "life changing" surgery. The Oscar-nominated star posted a shirtless picture of himself spending a joyful moment by the pool to Instagram Monday, captioned: "Trans bb's first swim trunks." In December, the "Juno" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star announced that he is transgender and shared with fans that he/ they were the actor's preferred pronouns. The actor recently opened up about his transition surgery, describing it as "life-saving" and explaining that it led him to feel comfortable in his body for the first time.

It is wonderful to see someone find their happiness. I don't know how anyone - regardless of your 'views' - can think this is wrong. Bless everyone who feels this lost. I wish you all the best in the world.

right.. experimental drugs and surgery, attempting to imitate something he's not, making a mockery of womanhood due... sure, none of this is wrong at all.

@Don't Look A textbook case for detransition is when a non-trans person was led to believe transitioning would make them happier, and it doesn't work. Since Jasmine is happier after her transition, I'm not sure where you're getting the detransition idea from.

I watched a short documentary that included a very knowledgeable psychologist in this area, & trans herself. In the beginning the only expert center was in Boston.They went through so much evaluation & counseling & tests. It takes a lot of time to be completely sure that it wasn't about being unhappy etc. They made as sure as possible that it is about because They KNOW they are say not a male. They ARE a female. That IS the essence of it all. Sadly, this seems to have become an "in" thing. There are young people who have psychiatric issues look on the internet & think that this may be their answer so they decide to give it a try. They go to one of the many clinics that have popped up & they DO NOT know what they're doing. They have a ONE HOUR evaluation, start hormones ina week &surgery in 3 months. Quickly they realize that wasn't it & things are worse. They need to go back. That's what it is.

Yeah, your gender fairy idea is how I explain things too. Except here's the difference: if you're trans, you wake up happy and content. If you're non-binary, you feel roughly the same as you did the day before. If you're cis, you're screaming. And lmao, I seriously wish it was that easy to get hormones or surgery. Maybe puberty blockers (reversible) are given that quickly while they're still being evaluated, but actual hormones? I know trans people who are still waiting for surgery years after they first came out. My best friend can't get hormones unless she's been publicly presenting as female for a year. It's also recommended you don't have surgery soon after starting hormones - you need to see what changes the hormones make to your body/face first.

For those who say she will detransition: research is really against you on this one. People who do transition are not as likely to detransition as conservative media would like you to believe. It does not happen that much, but the stories covering the fact that it does are touted as flagships of proof that transitioning is ineffective.

I don't know which researching you've been looking at but it seems to go against pretty much all actual tests done on the rates of detransition. The vast majority of people with so-called "Gender Dysphoria" grow out of it in time, from 70% to up to 96%.

If everyone supported everyone else in the way we all want to be supported in a time of need, where the support given has no negative ramifications, that would be supporting someone transitioning. In the right wing world, it's dealt with like the Third Reich is coming to defeat the USA on our own turf. I wish this pretty woman to grow bigger and brighter. She can finally feel comfortable in her own skin and be happy in her mind. I'm happy for her results.

Good for you!!🌹🌹🌹 Your courage is admirable. So glad you didn’t fall into Societies trap of telling you what and who you should be! You followed your instincts and are now a more complete person because of it. BTW, Society sucks and should be removed as a way of validating ourselves! Love and blessings your way sweetheart 🥰😎

so he's a mentally-messed-up guy who took experimental drugs and undertook irreversible surgery to look like a mockery of a woman?... sure. poor dude, his childhood seems pretty horrific, that's probably what drove him to transition in the first place.

We haven't really found a "different way" to deal with gender dysphoria (the mental condition that causes most to transition) that actually makes the afflicted person happier than they would be through transition, so I'd say this is the best approach.

Trans people are not mentally ill. I don't know where you got that idea from. I am nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. I am not looking for a "healthier solution to my problem." I am happy with the way I am. While I am suicidal, it is not because of me being nonbinary. It's totally different.

Are you a psychiatrist that has went to university for this and studied for years bc they will all tell you that you're completely wrong and the reason why trans people commit suicide is bc people like you deny who they are and that trauma is very hard to overcome even after they happily become the person they were meant to be.

Now hold on a moment. While there are defiantly people who realized transitioning wasn't what they needed, and those who realize their transition won't solve all of their problems, that doesn't delegitimatize the existence of transgender people who have existed for centuries. Trans people's transitioning isn't a problem, it's those who think transitioning will solve all of their problems.

Some people do that. Most don't. It's true that transitioning doesn't solve all of your problems, but it bridges the disconnect between spirit and body.
