Matt (not that one)

Over the years, you've made a number of videos that I've hated your having to make, but was glad that you made them. These, I just hate that you have to make them. Please take care of yourself. You belong here. ❤️

The part about relatives being unable to connect what they voted for with the lived experiences of other people hits really hard. I've spent years and years pleading with conservative relatives and they still can't understand how personal this is. I don't know how to make them understand.

Well considering how YouTube promotes these far righters for profit wait until they discover it was all a sham and flop. I mean look at movies that pander to conservatives like Harold and the purple crayon, Horizon, Megaoplis

I like to point out this with the Dems trying to blame trans people. If progressive values are the problem for the conversation then surely the discussion of abortion was the problem. That was the Dems big progressive focus. Should we give up on abortion? When sexism is to blame for lack of votes Dems trying to educate demographics on sexism... But transphobia we just give up. I'm far more frustrated with Dems than Reps. I'm done with pretending that the left isn't kind enough to others. I'm done pretending that the Dems are in any way actually left wing. The privilege of most Dems has been made so clear to me in the massive numbers of posts of the sentiment "trump won so now we have to keep fighting." Like for all the marginalised people we have had to fight for this whole time. If Dems won we would have had to keep fighting. For us it was a choice between fighting and uphill battle and fighting a sheer cliff face. If Dems had won I think a lot of these people would have just dusted their hands and said "I did my part". Obviously I'm grateful for them to be trying now but if they only understand how much work the marginalised do just to survive the constant attacks. I don't think that our potential allies need kiddy gloves. I've spent years being so gentle to try and get people to view me as human. There are some people who respond to that yes. But most of the huge breakthroughs I've had have actually come from sitting people down and saying "you have hurt me and you are harming others". They might initially have a defensive response... But compared to the people who I've repeatedly told "hey it's okay. I know you aren't hateful." I much prefer the positions of the former group. This is IRL of course. I'm not that online. I don't fully understand how people respond to online criticism. When it comes to IRL though I think it's important not to mince words. When it comes to duty I don't believe any marginalised person has a duty to save this world. I believe that they will because marginalised people go beyond their duties.

"it's not the peopels fault for voting for a horrible person BEFORE googling what they are voting for... its the other parties fault for not ALSO being horirble to appeal to them" sure that would totally help

Thanks for all of this, Jessie. I think nearly all of us are still grieving, and it'll likely keep going as the enormity of what just happened sets in. Voices like your will be more important than ever. But...oooof...BUT. I think we need to more quickly organize, and realize that we've lost in a major way. Things will happen very quickly as soon as the new administration takes over, and there needs to be some kind of structure. For example: What happens when my medication is cut off completely? What happens if there's a push to forcibly change my identity? What happens when all of the tech platforms instantly get the message and auto-ban all trans topics on all major platforms? Where do we go? Who do we talk to? Right now any talk of reform is wishful thinking. This is now a generational struggle beyond our own lifetimes. This is like the end of the Battlestar Galactica mini series. We've lost. The only way we're going to survive as a civilization is if we save as many people as we can. At the very least we'll need survivors to teach and be examples to future generations.

Humanity is one people currently governed unfairly as several, disparate peoples. If the status quo is to see the government as an organism, then that organism sees me and my people--your people as well, whoever you are--as allergens to it. So, then, I see little flaw with taking that on and organizing in ways allergenic to the status quo. It only worries me when that impulse is to (as you sorrow over in this video) retreat into a singular, linear, disparate 'people'; to dissever your personhood from others'. It's obviously far more effective to coagulate around your neighbour's vulnerabilities in order to protect them, and they you. I mean this on the individual, literal level, because the government plans, in open, to fail us on that front. It falls on us as individuals to protect our people and serve our community when that happens--not out of any sense of nobility or because it's fair, it isn't fair, but because it becomes a necessity. The things we both need and want from a centralized governmental structure don't disappear when that structure fails us, and our avenues for animating those wants or adhering to those needs don't either. We will all need to exist in coalition eventually, so fuck it. Organize. Please keep yourself safe, please keep your people safe, and please keep in mind that we are all your people.

I feel your pain all the way from Australia. I suspect I'll need to give this video a pass for the sake of my mental health, but I want you to know that you are valued and your work is valued. 🫶
