Trans man goes viral after getting emotional about the ‘loneliness’ of life after gender transition

'I also now understand why the suicide rate is so much higher in men, because this s--- is lonely!' Barnes claimed on Instagram

By Gabriel Hays

A biological female turned trans man went viral this week after posting an emotional video about the loneliness of being a man.

"Nobody told me how lonely being a man is," the influencer claimed in the two-minute video discussing having more friends when identifying as a woman.

The subject also discussed why the male suicide rate is higher than in women.

The video was first published to Instagram by James Barnes, a motivational speaker, stress management coach, and social media influencer who claimed to have transitioned from being a woman to a man eight years ago.

Barnes, who goes by "thetranscoach" on the platform, opened up about the struggles of living as a man in the clip that was shared Thursday.

Specifically, the user lamented that life as a man is much lonelier than life as a woman.

The clip opened with Barnes, sporting a beard and wearing a white baseball cap, declaring, "Nobody told me how lonely being a man is." The user then noted how, as a woman, it was much easier connecting to other people in general.

Shedding tears, Barnes said, "I have had closer relationships with random women I met in the bathroom before I transitioned at clubs because of how open women are, than I’ve had in my eight years of transitioning because women are just so much more vulnerable and deep than men."

The speaker noted that trans men have the unique experience of this dramatic shift after they’ve transitioned, stating, "But to have known, and I think a lot of trans men feel this, is we knew what that depth felt like before we transitioned. We knew what it felt like to like have people want to hug us and to have people want to talk to us and have a community."

Voice breaking, the influencer continued, "And then you transition and you’re just a guy walking down the street that people cross the street so that they’re not near you."

Barnes also voiced his realization that as a man "friendships are so much harder to build. And people are colder."

Additionally, the speaker admitted they could now see more clearly why the suicide rate for men is "higher," though Barnes noted that it doesn’t negate the complaints the rest of society has about straight white males.

"And what’s hard is, none of this invalidates how real and raw women and people who are in marginalized groups feels about cis white men, all of that’s valid. But I also now understand why the suicide rate is so much higher in men, because this s--- is lonely!"

Barnes then urged viewers to reach out to men in their communities and "help them maybe be seen for a moment."

Prominent conservative Twitter account "Libs of TikTok" shared the clip to her Twitter page on Friday, where it acquired more than 15 million views in less than 24 hours.

Libs of TikTok captioned the post, writing, "This is really sad. Trans man realizes how hard it is to be a man when you’re really a woman. Males and females are different and no matter what you do to your body, you can’t be the opposite sex."

How can you possibly teach others about stress when you’re having a public breakdown?
Men don’t have the wide circle of social interactions that women have (I mean not all women have them either, I don’t really have anyone I’d call a friend but whatever I’m not crying on TikTok about it.) but on average women have more social support. Men have less but the expectation is that they hold it together more. That disconnect contributes to the high suicide rate. Other factors include jobs that are more physical and stressful in different ways, higher rates of trauma (real trauma, like battlefield trauma not that someone misgendered you once) and the disgraceful demonisation of men we seem to have these days.
not a single one of my male friends in my life has ever given me or another of our friends crap for the times when we just needed to vent or broke down and cried about something tragic in our lives. it is women who have a problem with men showing a lot of emotion.
I think this is true. Women say they want male emotion but they dont respect male emotion. Now dont get me wrong, if one of the men in my life was that upset I would be nothing but support and sympathy.
What I do think thought is that it is unnerving for the weaker members of the family to see a lapse in male strength (we had a thread on this a while back.) I suppose it’s rather like watching your parents get emotional - they’re human but as a kid they’re your strength and world so it’s kind of upsetting. So women say they want it, but unless that male is of family level relation they really don’t. They can’t admit that though because it means they do indeed see men as protectors and strong, and that’s not allowed these days.
But everyone has times they need to vent like that and this is why it’s so important to have male friends.
 
>pretends to be a man
>goes on the most woman self-pitying rant
>posts it on the fucking internet

If she was a man, she'd be a lolcow, but this is just female behavior presented through a male image.

Still haven't learned your lesson then. Typical of a woman. It's never admitting there's a legitimate problem: it's saying there might be but considering what people tell you is one is more important. That's why you'll never take back your own spaces. As long as you can be socially pressured and can't admit you have no idea what you're doing, you'll suck the girldick.
 
I swear I've seen a story like this before, not that recently but also not more than a year or so ago. Maybe it was in the tranny sideshows thread but I distinctly remember some other pooner making a viral video crying about how sad and lonely she felt as a man and how women she approached were visibly uncomfortable and at the time kiwis also pointed out en masse how extremely feminine she was acting. Guess they never learn.

If there's one thing I hate about the "social justice" types in general is the complete lack of self-awareness.

Sure, you present them evidence that they might be wrong about how their philosophy is applied, and they still want to apply the template, rather than consider that their template might be somewhat flawed if not entirely incorrect.

I'm not even saying it's social justice types that are the only ones who do this, it's just that among people in general, I see this adherence to the "white patriarchy" paradigm like their lives depend on it even when it completely flies in the face of the exact thing they're bitching about.

But what really gets me in this case, is that this person embraced being a white male and still rejects the idea that this person has adopted that privilege (which by becoming male, according to that paradigm, they can't possibly NOT have it) and is still miserable. It's almost as if the concept of privilege was made up by assholes that can't possibly look inward and find that the problems they have are invariably with themselves.

Who would want to ever listen to a motivational speaker/stress management coach who breaks down into tears because they can't even handle pretending to be a man?

Imagine how mortifying it would be to have some lunatic like this come up and start talking about how "seen" and "valid" you are "as a fellow man." Barf.
This fucking language. Powerlevel time: I've decried all forms of self-help these days because I keep running into counselors and therapists and shitty people who claim themselves as "experts" and yet keep throwing out concepts like "trauma-based" and "feeling seen" and "validating your truth".

The problem with those philosophies is that they are always centered around what people do to you. There's never this idea about finding empowerment within yourself anymore.

And that's the big problem I have with these fuckers. They never consider that for all the years feminism has focused on women not being treated like objects, they threw their lot in with people that can't help crying that they always are the object that has been acted upon.

Little bitch can't hang. They think that after spending decades trying to emasculate us, take away our spaces, behaviorally modify us, and claim everything about masculinity and being a man is "toxic", they can just go and cosplay as us.
Because they think they can become better, safer men. Even though they're still afraid of real men.

Also not realizing that feminine men are disliked by everyone.
 
This has real 'I found out women get called faggot a lot' energy
Maybe people don't want to be your friend because you're a rabid cult preacher with a mutilated body that likely smells bad, not because people think you're born with twig and berries
I hate how trannies like to speak for group issues they're not even a part of. I saw one liken hrt to insulin therapy for type 1 diabetics. Or the ones always screaming 'muh intersex! cais!' They're batshit and sick in the head
 
Even if she did, they'd still be bigger than yours. Nigger.
I'm going to treat this exchange as male banter for the purpose of this observation. no idea if it actually is or not because 🧩

Observing from the outside as a female. It's easy to see how she might have had a lot of fun viewing that sort of interaction, It's funny, and it's clear to see the camaraderie between the two men as it occurs.

But watching that interaction and enjoying it are very different from actually experiencing it. And if you're used to female socialization, you're not going to have fun being in the middle of that exchange, but if you lack self-awareness to the point where you're willing to poon troon out you're not going to realize that.
 
I mean, this isn't new. There are three options available to men: booze, drugs and a bullet.

Therapists have barely bothered to cater to men and it's hard to find decent mental help. The social saftey net for men is like the foam pit at Twitch con without the foam. It's a ten foot drop onto cold, hard concrete.

We were mocked and told we were privileged so nobody said a word. Sorry you were sold a bill of goods, but I have 0 sympathy for you, especially since you have to stick to the lib line of thinking.
 
Men don't want to be validated that's what women want.
I mean, I'd like to OCCASIONALLY be validated, especially by women. Just to know that I'm not a total waste of space. But as a man, you're not allowed to EXPECT it. Even if society shits all over you, like you said, you're supposed to "man up" and operate at full capacity as a cog in the machine no matter what.

If a man doesn't get validation, it's his fault and his problem. If a woman doesn't get validation, it's EVERYBODY'S problem.

I hope her brigade of nutters, those who King Bro Heckin' Valid her before, now turn on her for being a right-wing stoolie and makes the whole movement look bad. But hey she said she wants to "be seen" right?
