Even though I'm not Catholic and thus don't observe Lent, I have thought about what I would do if I did. I came up with the idea of giving up trying to reason with people who hate me.
I spent an hour typing this comment onto a "cringe" video I found on Youtube that was dedicated to me. I liked it, so they may still find me. I don't care. What I'm not going to do is waste my time trying to humanize myself to people who don't believe I'm human. (They misgendered me and called me the r-slur throughout said video.) Here's the comment I made but didn't send.
I never realized that I was so interesting a person to dedicate an almost 2 hour documentary to!
Addressing some inaccuracies:
-I am nonbinary transmasc, not a woman.
-My old name was a reflection on the "freedom" I felt from coming out, as were a lot of these behaviors
-The hand sanitizer incident was at work after I was fired (paranoid delusions made me believe there was a vast conspiracy trying to get me to die, it wasn't a fun time)
-I am not obese, I am only around 210 lbs currently (weight gain mostly from medication and hypothyroidism)
-I identify as aroace and am open about having a paraphilic attraction to spirits (meaning yes, I know it's weird)
-I haven't been a Satanist or demonolater in quite some time
-My parents don't care that I'm aroace, on SSI, or a practitioner of witchcraft.
-I did not self-diagnose using a test online, I used the DSM-5. I have been professionally diagnosed with autism.
-Via Section 8, I obtained a housing voucher and have not lived with my parents since 2022.
But kudos to you for having nothing better to talk about and using videos that I've long-since deleted. This was a cursory skim of one video, so I don't know if you've changed your content since so you address more social justice issues.
As of 2018, I have founded a nonprofit organization and used a $10,000 grant to help fund a transgender support group. I've gotten my mental health better these days (a lot less panic attacks) and have been on testosterone for three years.
I'll talk about my pagan faith, autism, transgender and/or intersex identity, and how they all intersect, with you, if you're respectful, as in the years since, I have been invited to speak on these at universities and conferences. But since you would rather spend your time skimming a Neo-Nazi harassment website to laugh at an autistic person's stims and their paraphilias, I don't believe that we would have a very productive conversation. All this comment is going to accomplish is probably you making a follow-up episode and laughing at me some more. So, should I even post it? Nah.
