All Genders Is This...Euphoria?

Credits on vid. Just a little something I couldn't unsee, every time I watched this video. 😅

As much as we can each be our own worst enemy, I truly believe we can also be our strongest ally. You are worthy and deserving of all the kindness you would give to others. Love each other, fam, and love yourself! 🩵

Honestly, thank you so much for giving such detailed and personal insight, I hadn't realized it might read that way! My intention was to reference my own experience, in that when I experience dysphoria, which is not a transphobic thing in and of itself, it often pulls me out of enjoying gender expression and triggers additional issues, such as internalized shame, transphobia, memories of past trauma, etc. I should have been more clear that dysphoria is not, itself, transphobic!

I apologize for being too vague with terms that I know have the potential to hurt people. I'll be more clear about the distinction, moving forward. 🩵✌️

Thank you <3 I really appreciate that you took the time to read and listen to what I had to say. (I'm also really glad that you're able to overcome all of that and live your best life. I wish all trans people were able to live their best life like that, however that looks!)

Honestly, It's not just you, but a lot of people, and this is still a more tame example. I'm just getting really frustrated. I even made a post about it to remind people that dysphoria isn't internalized transphobia. It's like, I suffered for over 30 years and clawed my way out of a pit of despair and all of that was "internalized transphobia" according to some people? Grr!

Thank you, and I appreciate you hearing me out! I am nearly 40 and have just begun transitioning within the past 2 years, so I am not the most well-informed or experienced person, and I have a lot of internalized things I am working on, which this was meant to be a positive representation of. Thank you for calling out/supporting the community this way. It's really the best way for people like me to learn and grow and become more in tune with other people's experiences. 🩵

That's awesome! Never too late to transition. But you are among family. (there are of course, always bad apples x.x)
I always try to encourage open and honest communication. It's how I've only had a single argument with my fiance in our almost 10 years together. (And even then the argument was just a big lapse in communication mixed with heat, exhaustion, and hunger. We were mad for half an hour, hour tops, before we made up lol)
