'Nobody told me how lonely being a man is': Transgender man weeps while explaining how much easier it was to make friends with 'open, vulnerable women' - and says he can see why suicide rate among males is higher

A clip of a weeping transgender man has swept the internet, after he cried while saying how much harder it was to strike up meaningful friendships as a man than it had been as a woman.

James Barnes, who was born female but transitioned to male eight years ago, works as a life coach to help others going through life changes. He recently opened up about the challenges he's faced since becoming a man - especially loneliness.

Breaking down in tears, Barnes said: 'No one told me how lonely being a man is.

'I had closer friendships with random women I met in the bathroom at clubs before I transitioned because of how open women are, than I've had in my 8 years of transitioning because women are just so much more vulnerable and deep than men.

'We knew what depth felt like before we transitioned, we knew what it felt like to have people want to hug us, and have people want to talk to us, and have a community.

'And then you transition and you're just a guy walking down the street that people cross the street so they're not near you. And friendships are so much harder to build, and people are colder.'

Barnes, who is also a motivational speaker said while holding back his tears, 'I also now understand why the suicide rate is so much higher with men, because this s**t is lonely.

'I am an emotionally matured man, I know how to build friendships, and it's still really really hard.'

Yes I know someone posted about this the other day but that was just a video and this story has more information!!

With that said, we now know what this person does for a living.

I have never employed a "life coach" but if I ever do it will NOT be one that does not know which bathroom to use or mutilates their body like this.

After this story I have to believe this person's career as a life coach is over.

I would imagine that the main reason the suicide rates increase after one tries to become the opposite sex is because they get very lonely and even more confused. Let’s face it, even the kindest people are going to feel very uncomfortable around them....and it’s tough not to blame them.

It’s because you were designed from you first cell division to be a woman, not a man. You were even told that, but didn’t listen.

This person is a motivational speaker?!
More of a motivational WHINER…
You want to be a man? START ACTING LIKE ONE.
Or go back to being a woman.

Their hormones are not in sync with their bodies.

“Conversion therapy” was banned so now therapist can only confirm them when they go in for transgender treatment and not try to see if there are other underlying factors.

A lot of them are not in fact transgender but have other mental illnesses, but the therapists hands are tied due to bad laws.

That is what makes this article so shocking.

She needs to stop the testosterone right now and put on her big girl panties.

“I had closer friendships with random women I met in the bathroom at clubs”

Life tip. Don’t try to strike up a relationship in the men’s room. Just do your business, wash your hands and leave.

Someone has to tell her.

‘We knew what depth felt like before we (became fakers), we knew what it felt like to have people want to hug us, and have people want to talk to us, and have a community.

‘And then you (dress up like a man) and you’re just a guy walking down the street that people cross the street so they’re not near you. And friendships are so much harder to build, and people are colder.’

Barnes, who is also a motivational speaker said while holding back his tears, ‘I also now understand why the suicide rate is so much higher with men, because this s**t is lonely.

‘I (want to believe) am an emotionally matured man, I know how to build friendships, and it’s still really really hard.’

Women have zero empathy for men. 80% of men are invisible to them. The only way they get close to seeing how privileged a life they have over men is to actually be one and be treated as one.

And for the record, she doesn’t get how men think, by what she says and wishes for. Men don’t speak like she speaks, we don’t talk about wanting safe spaces, because ever since grade school, we’ve learned there are no safe spaces for men. Also men have no special cards to play to get help. If she had to, she can reveal herself as a trans-man and would receive extra help and extra concern from people/society.

The other woman (a lesbian) who lived as a man for over a year, and wrote a book about it, was so traumatized at the treatment she received by women in that period of time, she wound up suiciding herself.

Shes not an emotionally mature man. Shes an emotionally mature woman that looks like a man. She doesn’t actually have the same thought processes men have. She doesn’t react emotionally or physically or mentally to situations like men do. She changed the wrapping paper around a female brain. Be clear on it.

When one is not in touch with reality it is rightfully called psychosis

[Women have zero empathy for men.]

I can testify to a few encounters like that. Including one gal I’ve known for over 20 years. Cold and heartless.

But she put on a great act for a couple of decades.

And that’s what it was apparently; an act.
