Hi, I'm Jamie and this video is part of a series about some of the physical
aspects of my gender transition.
This is the second video in the series. It's
July 22nd 2013 and it is day 7
of my testosterone therapy.
I have been taking Axiron. It looks like
that. And I'm using 30 milligrams
daily of a 2 percent solution, so apparently that's a pretty low dose.
So I'm gonna, at least for a while, I'm gonna be doing videos like once a week
just in case there's like minor changes that I wouldn't have noticed in the way I
look or sound
'cause you can't really notice yourself changing. You know when you're, like, a teenager, and
you're growing
and everyone else when they don't see very often are like "oh you're so much taller"
and you're like
"okay if you say so..."
So I'm thinking it's kinda like that. So I'll do regular videos even if I
don't notice any changes myself.
So. Um, as for this week, okay so like,
Saturday for example I went out and I was called sir
by a stranger and then like less than half an hour later in the same trip I
was called ma'am
by a different stranger. That's kinda how it goes for me
right now. So last week I figured out how to do
closed captioning for my videos so I'm gonna probably keep doing that so that
if you need to you can read along
with what is being said.
This video's just gonna be a short one, I'm just gonna test my vocal range now and then
sing the same portion
of the same song as last time so.

'S about an E or an F.
Two Fs above middle C.
[wordless singing]
[wordless singing]
[wordless singing]
That's about an F, again, F below middle C. So same as last week.
F to F. Two octaves. And then
I'm gonna sing the first verse and chorus of This Is Where I Wanna Be.
Again on Capo 2.

Sometimes trouble makes me weary and
sad and it's hard to remember
how to keep the good from the bad
Sometimes all you have to do
is think of what has gotten you through
so far and remember what it is that makes you
you
and say I like who I am
I like who I'm with, I like where I'm at
I like where I live, there's nowhere
better right now for me, I like my life
This is where I wanna be
[wordless singing]
This is where I wanna be
So see you next week! Bye!
