  • Replying from my phone, so this’ll be a shorter response until I get to my keyboard again.

    I haven’t checked - and don’t intend to check - the parent threads, so I must’ve missed somebody calling you an incel, unless you meant to say, in a humoristic way, that I did that indirectly by linking to that video. I meant to share the video without even the slightest intent of sarcasm or ridicule or the likes. I’m 99.99% sure you know that, but I just wanted to have that said. Just in case.

    Live in authenticity whenever you can, and don’t feel ashamed whenever you need to wear a mask to survive in this cruel world. They don’t deserve to know the real you.

    These words are so powerful. Thank you! May I put this on my profile with your handle next to it? Check out my current profile page for reference, as I have already done so with one other quote, if you don’t know what format I’m referring to.




  • Edit: scrolling up to Padme’s face after hitting “comment” or “save” or whatever made me giggle. How did we end up talking about this again? 🤣😭

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I appreciate (is that the right word?) all the hardships that you had to go through in pursuit of happiness. I have been a trans and non-binary ally my whole adult life, so I knew in theory of the persecution, alienation, demonization and plain bullying that we have to endure, but to read what a person goes through inside, mentally and emotionally, it’s eye-opening, to say to least.

    The video that I linked to, I watched for the first time sometime around last December. As you said it youself, it’s rather the latter part of the video that stuck with me too. I don’t know why, but watching this video was the first thing that every made me question: what if there is nothing wrong with me? What if all the evil that I had to accept through the years from what I thought were male peers was just that: evil. There is nothing wrong with me - or you, for that matter. It’s the cisnormative world and society that is wrong.

    I have just begun my journey towards trying to get help from my government, but thus far, I have only every been rejected and passed around. Now, I need a little breather to muster the strength to try again.

    Thanks again for sharing! We are valid, no matter who or how or what we are.







  • honestly it’s such a self-destructive and counter-productive trope that I’ve had to stop taking it seriously and just hope the rest of the world catches up at this point…

    This is all that I feel is relevant to the post and I do agree.

    To everything else, I can only say, I have no good answer because I am - or was? - the same. Being born with a dick and trying to identify with men my whole youth and having a gentle heart is - or was? - worse than hell. What kind of saved my life and made me realize that I might not be a cisman and that my gentle heart is as valid as any other human being was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAA1XtDOuH8

    I know it’s hard, and I don’t live by this myself so I am sort of a hypocrite when I say this, but love yourself. You’re fucking valid and legit. Your docile self and all.
