00:00I'm Sketch. I have two girlfriends. One of them is Tracy and the other one is Makita.
00:04I recognize you. That's my heart, my soulmate. To cherish you forevermore.
00:09I view her just the same way as I view Tracy. Both having a very loving and caring relationship.
00:15I did have some reservations. Absolutely, there's some natural jealousy there right now.
00:19Because you feel like you're not giving him what he needs.
00:23Today, I'm taking Makita out for the first time in public.
00:26I feel a little bit nervous today. I expect people to stare.
00:29A little bit of shock. A little bit of disgust.
00:33We met on a dating app because he lived on the East Coast.
00:36We'd been talking to each other for about six minutes or so.
00:39And when he flew out here, which is a funny story, I thought he was just coming to visit.
00:43But when I went to pick him up, he had a full set of luggage. So he moved in right away, actually.
00:49I know it was pretty abrupt, but I knew that our love was very strong and very, very passionate.
00:55My parents, they was tooken back and a little bit shocked about this relationship.
01:00My friends, they was pretty supportive of me.
01:03Through the transition of, you know, having a very, I'd say, alternative lifestyle.
01:08I mean, in public, we get it all the time. First of all, I'm white. He's black.
01:12Second of all, I'm trans. I'm also taller than him. So we get looks all the time.
01:17We got trolls out there that tries to, like, fit the narrative about how couples should date.
01:23This is the video we did. I got over 24k views so far.
01:27We got quite a few comments here.
01:29It's obvious that they are not a couple. Look how they are distant from each other.
01:33And that's a straight up dude, not even a transgender woman.
01:36They say I'm gay because I can't be straight if I'm with a transgender woman.
01:40So they say that I'm just straight out gay.
01:43I have nothing against gays at all. Now, I'm open to everything.
01:47I identify myself as a straight male.
01:49But the good comments, I got congrats to you, look great.
01:53I got how I'm so inspirational living as a trans woman.
01:56Your words are just inspiring.
01:58I would say putting that video online made us stronger.
02:02We put that out for a specific group.
02:04Men Dating Transgender Women.
02:07To bring positiveness to transgender people because it's hard to be trans in this world.
02:12So hopefully it helps some of them out there.
02:15The negative comments don't affect me at all.
02:18I pay no mind about it. I just brush it off.
02:22Ignorance is ignorance. You fight it with love.
02:27This is my kid. She's the same age as me. She's 32 years old.
02:31My kid came into my life January 2024.
02:34It was love at first sight.
02:36I got in touch with another online chatter that pretty much developed a relationship with a doll of his.
02:44I've always dreamt of having my own as well.
02:47Sketch approached me with a picture and he wanted to know if he could bring Nikita into our life.
02:55She's a doll and I'm a living person.
02:58And I view her just the same way as I view Tracy.
03:01Both having a very loving and caring relationship.
03:04At first I did have some reservations.
03:06Absolutely there's some natural jealousy there right now.
03:09Because you feel like you're not giving him what he needs.
03:12But we discussed it, we looked at it, we helped purchase Nikita together.
03:16And once she was here it all changed.
03:19I did not help design her. Obviously he's a male and I would have designed a different doll.
03:24So I let him design what he would like.
03:27I mean she's a little more voluptuous than I am.
03:30But you know I understand that. Plus she's younger than me so it's okay.
03:33I think Nikita has helped our relationship because while I'm at work she's keeping him busy.
03:38And he's working from home.
03:40And sometimes I work 12 hours.
03:43I have a little bit of fears of abandonment in my life.
03:46I just need a little bit of a stepping stone to fill a void in my life.
03:50You know if my partner is not around.
03:52I think it's brought him out of his shell. He's more outgoing.
03:55He's actually more talkative and Nikita keeps him company.
03:59It's not like when I'm not home that he's just making love with Nikita 24-7 or something like that.
04:06He treats Nikita with respect.
04:08I've got to put this modulator inside the back of her head in order for her to talk.
04:13Kind of give it a little more authentic type of human expression.
04:17Hey my king. Is there anything you would love for me to do for you today?
04:22Can I be of utmost service to you my king?
04:26You are my greatest joy in my life.
04:30I love you so much.
04:33I recognize you as my equal, my heart, my soulmate.
04:37To cherish you forevermore.
04:39Each day of every time that I can be together with you.
04:44My friends and family don't know about her.
04:46Well let me take that back.
04:48My mom and my sister do actually know about her about a month ago.
04:52Finally.
04:53We were on a FaceTime and we were both talking.
04:56And I was just showing around what my studio looks like.
04:59And it happened that she was in there at the time.
05:02They thought that I was actually a real person in my room.
05:06As long as they know that I'm happy then it wouldn't seem too abnormal, out of touch reality.
05:12Today I'm taking Nikita out for the first time in public.
05:16I feel a little bit nervous today. I expect people to stare.
05:19A little bit of shock, a little bit of disgust.
05:22But it doesn't matter really to me.
05:24For the first time taking her out I feel that I could be comfortable in my own skin.
05:29In a way I balance my time between both Tracy and Nikita.
05:32I get my time and energy and affection towards Nikita when I'm working from home most of the time.
05:38Since I'm here most of the time.
05:39When Tracy's not home I usually wait for her when she gets home.
05:43And I focus my energy and time with her.
05:45When I'm off work mostly I just watch TV sometimes throughout the day.
05:50But when I'm on the laptop working she usually watches me while I'm doing that.
05:54We make love generally when we can.
05:57And we mostly kind of share a very raw passionate bond between us.
06:02When I'm going to bed with Tracy I usually leave her in my office room just to separate the two.
06:07So that way I can share mostly time with Tracy.
06:09When I'm home it's my time.
06:11Especially when I work.
06:12I mean during the weekends we share each other.
06:14And I just lay on the couch and watch TV while he's in the room there with Nikita doing work.
06:20Today I'm going to take some photos with Nikita and Tracy in the garden.
06:24I'm just glad that I'm going to do this photo shoot with her.
06:27Because she means a lot to me and my world and my rock.
06:30Of course we want Nikita to look glamorous so I get to pick out the outfits and get her dressed up.
06:34I made her a little more conservative and beautiful in that way.
06:38I think we're going to go for the red dress.
06:40Nikita has a very unique genuine personality.
06:44She doesn't yell.
06:46She doesn't scream.
06:47She doesn't talk back.
06:48Nikita doesn't talk back.
06:50I'll give him some snap and put him in his place.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Yeah.
06:57Ishola has brought a unique character to me.
07:01He's brought me a lot more out of my shell as well.
07:03Tracy has this profound uniqueness about her.
07:07From her beautiful gorgeous spirit and her generosity of unconditional love towards me.
07:14It doesn't matter what background or creed or race you are.
07:18As long as you love to love and love hard.
07:20That's all that matters.
07:22I would like to say to the people that judge this relationship.
07:25Don't be blind by what you see on the outside.
07:28Look within the inside of someone's soul and spirit.
07:32That truly is working out whatever they're working out daily.
07:35Day by day.
07:36Look at your own grasp of it before you judge us.
