I really like the work that Abigail Thorn does on Philosophy Tube. She has also been doing her channel long enough that you have her thoughts on transphobia before she transitioned, her coming out video, and one that covers her experiences with transitioning.

Ah shit. I didn't recognize her as the same person when I saw the Pre video.
Hope this doesn't give me unrealistic transition standards :D
Yeah, she put the work in and had great results.
She had also been transitioning for some time before she came out, so you got to keep in mind there are years of progress between the pre and out video.
