00:00I'm Joseph.
00:01I'm Madison.
00:02And people judge our relationship because I'm a trans woman.
00:05And I moved to Turin after the first date.
00:07We've definitely had to learn a lot of our personality quirks.
00:12We have a 17-year age difference.
00:14We did definitely jump in this relationship very quickly.
00:18So Kmart is my best friend.
00:20The pace at which they're moving, it's giving red flag, you know, love balmy.
00:27What did you think when I told you I was moving in with him?
00:34I'm 41 years old.
00:36I am 24 years old.
00:37Justin, I met at an after party.
00:42So romantic.
00:43She was wearing a black dress.
00:45She had her hair down and she looked really stunning.
00:49My first impression was that he has a nice beard.
00:54She was really sweet and kind and the part about her being a trans woman didn't bother me at all.
01:00His and I first date, we went out to eat and it was a really good night.
01:06We ended up drinking a little bit.
01:08I moved in right after the first date, which was a big concern for a lot of people that we know.
01:14We've definitely had to learn a lot of our personality quirks.
01:21We did definitely jump in this relationship very quickly.
01:25So my friends were very skeptical.
01:27We have a 17-year age difference.
01:30But to me, I feel like age is just a number.
01:33I just enjoy the friendship aspect.
01:36You know, I think that's something that I lacked in my previous relationship is like the friend part about it.
01:43I think you're fun, you're uplifting, you're a vibe.
01:48Ah, thank you.
01:50You're a vibe too.
01:51How would you describe my look, babe?
01:54Sexy, elegant, and I think fun.
01:58I like to see her transform from a casual laid-back look into a glamorous look.
02:04What time is K-Mar meeting us again?
02:06So K-Mar is my best friend.
02:09She's a local artist here.
02:11I've known her since middle school, so we go way back.
02:15When I introduced her to Joseph, she was very skeptical and very protective.
02:19She probably won't hold back.
02:21Oh, she will not hold back.
02:23My name is K-Mar Woods.
02:26Maddie, she just got out of a pretty toxic relationship.
02:31I'm really just concerned for the safety and like the longevity of the relationship with how quickly things are moving.
02:37Okay, well, I'm ready. Are you?
02:39It's giving red flag, you know, love bombing.
02:43I'd like to ask him what his intentions are with my daughter.
02:47Hi.
02:48Hi.
02:49How are you?
02:50Good.
02:51So good to see you.
02:52Nice to see you.
02:53Hello, Joseph.
02:54Nice to see you.
02:55Good to see you again.
02:56I just wanted to kind of hang out and have like a conversation that I've been wanting to have with you.
03:08You know about me and Joseph.
03:11So I just want to know what did you think when I told you I was moving in with him?
03:17Um, yeah.
03:19Oh my gosh.
03:20There are so many challenges when dating as a trans woman.
03:23Um, I've been through so many like bad guys, through so many bad situations, um, with men.
03:32So, yeah, it's been a challenge for me.
03:35And honestly, like I thought I was never going to find love at this point.
03:39When I met Joseph and I saw that he was a good guy and that he was willing to be in public with me without any hesitation, that was really eye opening to me.
03:50I thought it was like a little, very soon, you know?
03:55It was very good.
03:57So, like how's the dynamic going?
04:00Are you guys getting along?
04:02We've been doing good, huh?
04:03We haven't been having that.
04:05It's been really good.
04:06We've been trying new things, trying like hikes and going outdoors and trying new restaurants and foods.
04:12It's been actually pretty fun.
04:14That's fun.
04:16Yeah.
04:17It's like the dating process, but you guys are already moved in together.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Yeah, like fast forward.
04:23Although moving in together I'd say would be a red flag behavior, the meter for my intuition and who you are as like an individual, I'd say I really vibe with as well.
04:36At the end of the day, I just want you to be happy and I know you've been through so much with previous connections and I want you to take good care of her and, you know, just make sure she's safe.
04:48Unfortunately, the horrible thing about being trans is like you just never know who's looking at you and who knows.
04:56You know, you kind of just have to put on your, you know, your big girl shoes and keep walking.
05:03I mean, we don't really get that much hate in person.
05:07It's more online when I mention that I'm trans through a video, then it's like hundreds of hate comments.
05:14Commenting with no profile picture.
05:16Exactly.
05:17I've been a content creator since I was 13 years old.
05:21When I was younger, it was definitely a way of like escaping my reality.
05:26But now it's become very important to me.
05:31As a trans woman, you know, I do have a lot of people who look up to me.
05:37Kiss the air.
05:38Okay.
05:39Like right there.
05:40Okay, Cruella, let's go.
05:42What?
05:43Ever since I introduced Joseph to my platform, he has also been receiving that level of hate.
05:51That's cute.
05:52I guess.
05:53I mean, I've had death threats.
05:55So yeah, I've had death threats sent to me.
05:58I get comments like, so you both are gay.
06:01Nobody cares.
06:02He's gay.
06:04People calling me queer.
06:06Yeah, the comments are not very nice, but there's a lot of comments just saying that my boyfriend's gay for dating me.
06:12To me, I am who I am.
06:14And I don't have to explain that to anybody else.
06:16What matters the most is that I love this person next to me and that we are in a positive and healthy relationship.
06:23It makes me feel a little sad that people are so judgmental.
06:27But at the end of the day, I feel like my voice is being heard because of my platform.
06:33And it makes me feel on the other side, really grateful and privileged that I'm able to be such a light in others.
06:40Thanks.
06:42The fact that you live in your authenticity and are who you are, I think it draws love to you more.
06:48And I think it's a really good example.
06:50Well, a good example to the trans community to give people hope that there is love out there.
06:56I love that you say that because that's my goal.
07:02Because at one point at a time, I was just a little trans girl who didn't think that I would find my partner.
07:08And I just want to show these girls what's up and show them that they can and that they will.
07:14Cheers to love and abundance.
07:16Cheers, baby.
07:18Joseph has definitely changed my life for the better.
07:22I feel like before him, I felt like a sense of just loneliness and feeling like I'm lost.
07:28Joseph gave me that sense of like security and fulfillment.
07:32You and I, we work because we are unique.
07:38And we are empathetic for not only ourselves and our relationships, but for everyone around us.
07:44People that judge mine and Joseph's relationship, find a new hobby because we're not going anywhere, honey.
