O jovem trans norte-americano Skylar Kergil, cujo nome de registro é Katherine Elizabeth, levou cinco anos para realizar a transição para o gênero masculino. Todo o processo foi registrado em fotos e áudios, resultando em um vídeo de oito minutos que mostra a transformação do corpo feminino para o masculino após o tratamento com hormônios e cirurgias.

No vídeo, intitulado “Transição de Feminino para Masculino: 5 anos em tratamento com testosterona”, o homem trans de 23 anos revela o que o levou a iniciar o tratamento em 2009 e como assumiu sua identidade de gênero. O vlogueiro tem um canal no YouTube, no qual conta suas histórias e fala sobre a questão trans.

my memoir comes out in a month (9/5/17!) and i am so incredibly excited to share it with y'all. i'll be going to philly trans health with my mom, best friends and the book and can't wait for the plethora of hugs and community events and ah. i feel so very ready. also, september 19th at Brookline Booksmith is my official launch! come meet me there, more info to come ;) . . in other news, my hair is getting long. i usually cut it short because i can't be bothered with it – this is the longest it's been since 2015. to say the past two years were difficult would be an understatement – i fully lost myself and had to find again who i am. the past three months have brought me to the ER twice for a concussion, had my camera stolen in a robbery (that's why i haven't been on youtube sigh,) while crashing in beds of friends and couches cause i had to leave my old apartment, and many things ended while many things began. recovering from TBIs take a long time and i haven't had attention or focus like i am used to. just these past two weeks, i've been able to speak and not say the wrong word every other sentence. i'm excited to share with y'all again. . . so yep. my hairs long because i've been growing. i finally feel i am back to myself and literally JUST in time. please reach out to me, friends. i apologize i haven't done my usual reaching out to others as i often love to do, and please don't take my recovering as any excuse – i knew recovery would take a while and i hope we can all feel free to take the space we need when we need it, without necessarily having to explain or disclose what's going on, especially if it is hard or harmful to our progress to constantly disclose things. . . will have plenty of videos soon about anxiety, anxiety attacks, and the progress i've been making which i hope will invite y'all to share with me the progress YOU have been making too ❤️❤️ we are all in this together, my friends. #mentalhealth #transandhappy #awareness #trans #transgender #lgbt #healing

Em artigo para o ‘Huffington Post‘, ele relatou: “Dez anos atrás, começando a entrar na minha puberdade, eu nunca tinha ouvido a palavra ‘transgênero’. A imprensa não falava sobre esse tema e, aos 13 anos, eu sequer tinha consciência do que era gênero. Tudo que eu sabia era que tinha passado de um menino alegre, otimista e andrógino para uma pessoa ansiosa, desconfortável com o corpo e que se escondia”.

Hoje, Skylar, que é artista e também trabalha como caixa em um banco, fala sobre sua experiência para adolescentes em escolas e universidades nos Estados Unidos. De acordo com ele, o apoio das pessoas cresceu muito quando ele passou a publicar seus relatos na internet.
