April Patreon Update

Thanks for all you do!!! 😊

Cool! Really looking forward to your thoughts on masculinity... though that said, again it will be hard to escape the feeling that the victims of a dysfunctional system or ideology are those expected (or even more realistically, the only ones making any attempt) to supply some answers and solutions. But, as a cis-het-male, I'm here to attest that we are all victims of the normative conception of masculinity. It's a dangerous mess. Thank you Jessie for willingly entering the (masculine) arena <3

That story about the person giving you free ice cream was just incredible. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can leave such a lasting impact. I can't wait for all your future videos, especially the one on masculinity from the perspective of trans women (your so right that we have a lot to add to the conversation). But seeing the smile and joy on your face when talking about your work so far on Identiteaze is inspiring! I hope your doing well and here is to an absolutely amazing April!

Can't wait to find out who the mystery actor is. take care of yourself. Get some rest. :)

I can definitely relate to the "wait, what month is it? It's April already, how did that happen" feeling. Take care of yourself and if your releases take longer to allow you the time and headspace for self-care, take whatever you need. I'm excited for them, but your health is more important and I can be patient. :) Sending lots of love. <3

I'm so excited to see your upcoming projects! They sound awesome, mainly the star wars one. (Well Identiteaze also, but you said the star wars one has a date set sooooo you get me.) Please pass Newt a pet on from this patrion, and I hope you take time to yourself too. Bubblebathes and other lovely comfort things. Invest in yourself too Jessie! (edit cause I spelt Jessi like my friends name and you have an "e" lol)

Your voice and your content continue to make a positive difference. Please don't feel like you're not doing enough -- you're doing the most you can while safeguarding your mental health, which is something you need to preserve to continue making content. As a non-ironically privileged cis het white woman, I'm trying to learn to be a better ally (accomplice?). You're helping me with that. Thank you for all you do, and keep the kitty close for healing pets.

It's been hard enough for those of us who love our trans friends & family. I can't even imagine being the target myself. I imagine you are as tired as the trans folks I know of being called "strong" by (more or less) cis people, but sometimes we just don't have the words. It takes an immense (obscene, should be unnecessary) amount of strength to get up in the morning sometimes. And I'm very happy you do have that strength, and whatever small amount we as patrons contribute to that, I couldn't be more pleased. I've said it before and will say it again until the day it becomes unnecessary: the work you do is important. You speak truth to power and give hope to people who might be feeling pretty fucking hopeless. Thanks again for all you do, and as always: live long and prosper.
