Hey do you have a snapchat?

Yeah, dude. It’s some Quality Content.

So, not an ask, but I've been watching all the cool SnapChats from you, the Green Brothers, and other people at VidCon, and I've seen you popping up in everyone's chats... and then I realize he's Tyler Oakley, not actually you. He was wearing his hair like yours and has similar glasses. :P Hope you're having fun and didn't set off the smoke alarm waffling... whatever that was. I look forward to finding out in Will It Waffle.

I just found this ask and it’s beautiful.

To be fair, I was probably in the Green Bros’ snaps and a few others, but yeah, most of those were probably Tyler. He wore his hair/glasses/clothes very similarly to mine at VidCon and it was weird.

Will you be at Vidcon this year?

Yep!

I’ll be speaking on an Industry track panel called “Community Driven Platforms: Fandom and Fan Strategy” and a Creator track panel called “Being An Engaged Community Member.” I’ll also be helping run the HPA’s Apparating Library in the vendor hall, an HPA meetup, and maybe a Will It Waffle meetup or something.

I’m really proud of my friend Jack.

He made a video that serves not only as an official coming out notice, but one that will be useful to anyone confused about how harmful leaning into the existing binary gender system really is.

I’m really new to my own understanding of all of this, and am dependent on thoughtful, eloquent, and patient people like Jack as I navigate the waters myself. For instance, we recently traveled to and from the annual thehpalliance retreat together, and even though I was (very honored to be) told by him privately months previous, even though I had rationally processed the change of pronouns and change of whole thought about who he is in relation to gender, it was the first time that enough people knew about it that we would be referring to him as “him” all weekend long. And MOST of the time, he was just Jack. We went running and I limped back inside complaining that Jack ran ahead of me on the uphill last portion because boys are stupid. I had a couple little flubs where I said “her,” but mostly, you know, I was on it. I was feeling proud. Super comfy.

And then, struggling with our stuff out of Penn station and splitting at our subway divide, we hugged and I yelled an oft-repeated salutation of mine:

“Bye, lady!”

And we both slumped. But only for a moment before laughing, because he gets it. This is a process for everyone, and ingrained, automatic behaviors are hard to work out of, and if we all just try, and we all are a bit tolerant, everything will be okay.

Jack, you’re a badass. Congratulations.
