6 | Christopher was born female, biologically speaking, but his gender identity is masculine. | Amin'ny lafiny haiaina dia vehivavy i Christopher tamin'izy teraka, saingy lehilahy ny fahitana azy. |

11 | While Christopher's channel, he says, is exclusively dedicated to the issue of transsexuality, he also recommends mixing things up. | Nolazain'i Christopher fa natokana ho amin'ny resaka fiovana taovam-pananahana ny lahatsary, manoro hevitra ihany koa izy mba hampifangaroana ny zavatra. |
12 | In his video “Don't Lose Yourself in Transsexuality!” he invites viewers to remember that sexual orientation and gender identity are just two things that make people who they are, stressing that neither defines a person: | Ao amin'ny lahatsariny “Aza Manary Tena Amin'ny fanovana taovampananahana!”, manasa ny mpijery izy mba ahatsiaro fa ny fironana ara-pananahana sy ny maha lahy sy vavy dia zavatra roa fotsiny ihany mahatonga ny olona hanontany hoe iza moa izy ireo, manasongadina fa fa samy tsy mamaritra ny olona izy ireo: |
13 | Yes, I'm Christopher, the guy who makes videos on YouTube about transsexuality, but I'm not just the transgender guy… I'm so much more, and I know that you're so much more too.” | Eny, izaho no Christopher, ilay lehilahy nanatontosa lahatsary momba fiovana taovam-pananahana tao amin'ny Youtube, fa tsy hoe nanova taovam-pananahana ihany aho…fa mihoatra noho izany, ary fantatro fa mihoatra noho izany ihany koa ianao.” |

15 | Christopher says he's not in it for fame, however, though he has expressed regret that popular culture doesn't succeed in representing the transgender community: | Nilaza i Christopher fa tsy noho ny laza no nanaovany izany, na dia efa naneho ny alahelony aza izy fa tsy nahavita nisolo tena ny vondrom-piarahamonina nanova taovam-pananahana ny kolontsaina malaza: |
16 | …Don't forget us, don't put us to one side, we exist, we have rights and we have problems (hahaha)… | … Aza adinoina izahay, aza ailika izahay, misy izahay, manan-jo izahay ary manana olana (hahaha) … |
17 | If you, the viewer, are a writer, or an artist or something in which you can express yourself, I invite you to write, to do something, to speak up, because we have to surround people with this. | Ianareo mpijery, raha mpanoratra, na mpanakanto na zavatra afaka maneho hevitra ianareo, manasa anareo aho mba hanoratra, hanao zavatra, hiloa-bava, satria tokony hannakaiky ny olona miaina izany (transsexuelité izany) isika. |
18 | They often don't use the right terms to refer to us, and it's within us. | Matetika izy ireo tsy mampiasa voambolana tena izy mba hilazana anay, ary ao anatinay izany. |
19 | So please let's do something. | Koa manaova zavatra azafady. |
20 | I feel like I'm doing something with these videos, and I hope that I'm doing something so that people more or less understand what this is, and I expect the same from you. | Mahatsiaro toa manao zavatra amin'ity lahatsary ity aho, ary manantena aho fa manao zavatra mba ahatakaran'ny olona betsaka kokoa na kely kokoa momba izany, ary manantena aho fa tahaka izany ihany koa ianao. |
21 | I've already seen lots of people uploading more videos about their changes and it makes me feel great; that's what I wanted. | Efa nahita olona maro nampiakatra lahatsary momba ny fiovan'izy ireo aho ary mahatonga ahy ahatsiaro maivamaivana izany; izany no tiako. |
22 | That's what I'm trying to do with these videos: to let people know, because when I found myself in this situation I either didn't find anything or I found little bits in English, and how much better would it be if they were in Spanish.” | Izany no ezahiko atao amin'ireto lahatsary ireto: mba ahafantaran'ny olona satria rehefa ao anatin'izany toe-javatra izany ny tenako, dia na tsy nahita na inona na inona na nahita kely amin'ny teny Anglisy, ary mety ho tsara kokoa izany raha amin'ny teny Espaniola. |
23 | He concludes: | Hoy izy namehy: |
24 | We're all equal, we're all human beings and I hope that I can help in some way.” | Mitovy avokoa isika rehetra, olombelona avokoa isika rehetra ary manantena aho fa afaka manampy araka izay vitako. |
25 | Christopher's videos have become much more than a personal project, and this young man now finds himself at the center of a phenomenon bigger than any one person. | Mihoatra noho ny tetikasan'ny tenany manokana ny lahatsarin'i Christopher, ary eo anivon'ity toe-java-mahagaga iray mihoatra noho ny olona rehetra ity tovolahy ity ankehitriny. |
