Hello! I'm Melvin and welcome to the Begin TransMission YouTube channel - YouTube's first
collab channel by and about gay trans men, same-gender loving men of trans experience,
*** ftms, - I hope I didn't leave anyone out. Anyway - this channel's gonna feature
stories and perspectives by gay trans men. And if you have no idea what that is, watch
the channel and you'll find out. Thanks to all of you who submitted your "audition" videos
for the collab channel. It was great to hear from so many guys who were as excited as I
am about this channel. So this channel will feature videos on various topics related to
gay trans men and we're gonna hear from a rotating group of contributors. So for the
first rotation we have Ky, Nick, Mason, and Myles. I am also working on this project,
this collab channel, with Shaan and Quentin - two co-organizers and so they will be occasionally
contributing videos as well. In January 2014, we will send out another call for another
round of contributors. Those of you who submitted videos last time and didn't make this line-up,
your videos will be considered for future rotations. We want this channel to be interactive
by incorporating feedback from viewers. Every other week we will post a video announcing
a new topic and we'll invite viewers to upload a video either addressing that topic or asking
a question that you're hoping the contributors will speak to for that particular topic. Since
YouTube has recently done away with the ability to create response videos, we're asking that
people - if you upload a video - to hashtag the title with #BeginTransmission. We'll incorporate
your feedback into the video recap for that particular topic. If you choose to submit
a video, we encourage you to add closed-captioning to your videos so that they are accessible
to more of the YouTube community. I've uploaded this video to the Begin TransMission YouTube
channel, as well as my personal YouTube channel. If you are watching this from my personal
channel, please go over to www.youtube.com/user/BeginTransMission1. Please subscribe, please share this video.
Not just with trans men, but other folks as well. The first videos will be uploaded in
a couple of weeks, so stay tuned. Peace.
