Reddd i hope sincerely you're doing well! Me and my gf (both trans girls) discovered your YouTube and were just elated to see someone so much like us. Genuinely down to my core, it's so reassuring. Wishing you the best~💖

Aww, heck! Thank you! It feels like a million years since I made those videos, but I'm glad to hear they're still reaching people 🥳

When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

Please go ahead and wear a binder or a packer or take T or whatever and not know why. Please do not publish a long personal essay about it. Please stop publishing personal essays about how different kinds of underpants something something social constructs. Even if you’re famous and smart. It’s so boring.

I mean this in the most sincere way, too. You can do and try anything you like and don’t have to “figure out” your identity around it first. You can’t appropriate transness by wearing clothes or changing your name and pronoun or accessing medical intervention. I personally want people to have free and easy access to those things without any narrative or certification.

You can do something less than savory to the public conversation around gender and transness by further saturating the airwaves with the disclosure of private feelings that reinforce the idea that you need to visit confessional in order to justify things you do to your body. Please talk to your friends about it, or a therapist, or your diary. The thinkpiece and personal essay industrial complex isn’t always, like, setting folks back per se but it’s such a trick and it sets you up to have to continually perform catharsis to be “valid”, and “validity” is also a fucking trap.

The shift I’m seeing– the real material harm to trans people– is people without a single outlet to Queer Discourse have started asking/telling/begging me not to do anything to my body because “did you know you can do nothing and be valid? …you should do nothing” This is the net impact of Interiority As Praxis. This is actually what happens when a million Cis Theys cry out at once about visibility. “Validity” was always the trap that backfires into limiting and pressuring people away from the heart of the issue which is bodily self determination.

I hate when rich companies ask poor people to donate to poor people.

Especially donating to the charity thru the company. You donate. The company gets to write it off like Its their donation.

Every time a company promises to match donations up to a certain amount, they’re saying they can easily donate that much but are withholding those funds until they can leverage that donation into something that benefits their bottom line.
