Be Yourself
There is a whole lot more in that video than crossdressing as a lot of it is mentally pushing toward self acceptance and approval. Too many of the girls are looking for approval, even encouragement from others before they can accept themselves. Sadly most of life doesn't work that way. Instead it's the opposite, as one must believe and accept themselves before others will accept them.
I love this video as a motivational inspiration for the transgender girls who have yet to fully embrace their gift in life, the boy-girl mix.

Wishes of self-harm and even checking out of this life have been a recurring theme since the late 1970s. Though my religious background has kept me away from active suicide. And adopting the following motto has been a further safeguard in the last 20+ years:
