part 2: and sometimes i don’t want to be around people…. i’m not trying to help you. i hope it doesn’t sound like that. i just appreciate your honesty and relate. oh, and if you really were raised catholic like you joke in another video (becoming a saint for giving away your boobs—genius) then … i was raised catholic and that’s definitely a large part of where my shame comes from. thanks for bearing witness to yourself and allowing others to do the same.

hi. i just want to thank you for posting this. when you said, “just trans stuff or just kinda how i am”—i just want to volunteer, however awkwardly, that i am not trans (though i am queer, and society produces shame around that too) and i have the feelings you’re talking about. and i think the whole “get over it!” attitude is overly represented in american society. healing takes time, you know?

You ARE verbal medicine. I have been in this very same fog, could not out words to it and now you have,Thanks.. a million times over. Its such a simple gift to hear someone say the words that describes the very thing I can’t.

I try and hide my shame too, I feel like It proves to my family that i’m all wrong. but it’s a lie I keep telling myself and I believe it sometimes. When I watch videos like this one and others you made, I feel less alone and I also start loving myself again. Thank-you Charles.
