That is when he got the idea to upload the videos on YouTube. He started to record himself on his MacBook until he was out of storage. When he first came out when he was 17 years old and first started taking testosterone to help his body develop male features, he wanted to be able to record his voice and be able to see it change over time. Outside of his videos, he has spoken at events at universities, informing students and their parents of his experiences, hoping to help them better understand themselves and the struggles that they face. Skylar himself is female to male (FTM) transgender who since 2009 has been a transgender activist. With over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, his vlogs have reached out to people of all ages, struggling with their gender identity and sexual orientation, looking for a connection on what it means to be transgender.Ī person who is transgender identifies as the opposite gender from what they were given at birth. Skylar has been making a difference in the LBGTQ community for the past six years. Skylar, a blonde-haired, brown-eyed, 26-year-old young man with an incredible positive vibe and upbeat attitude, had journeyed from Boston, Massachusetts, to speak to the KU community to tell the story of his life as a transgender man. 30, down on Main Street in Kutztown PA, I sat across from Skylar Kergil in Spuds as he enjoyed his ‘Philly Fries.’ “These are exactly what I needed after my 8-hour drive,” he said Skylar 1 – Photo courtesy of Gabrielle Smith
