I need this Thank you so much for reminding me that I am the only one who has the right to know me and I get to discover who me is, not my parents, not society, me. I have the right to explore without feeling guilty or a failure. Thank you, stranger on the internet
¡congrats 💛🤍💜🖤! as a fellow enby i want to tell you WE LOVE YOUUUUU the world makes it weird and hard to navigate , but-and donʼt tell the binaries , but-weʼre for sure the best gender S tier (lack of) gender , for sure for sure ✌🏼
I adore how you explained this and think it takes an insane amount of introspection, time, then bravery to come to a conclusion and stating this; to yourself, to friends and family, and now publicly. I can't tell why, but I have a funny feeling that you will do some really really great things in life. Something about you tells me that, I'm not certain what. I am a cis-ace man who is a furry and I have suppressed the Furry part of my life for over 15 years. I tried to justify a way for me to deny myself of embracing this part of me but it never stuck. I told myself (and was told) it's just a phase and denied myself the deep love and support I gained instantly from the fandom. I kept that part of myself stuffed down for over 10 years and have only recently come to closer to embracing it. I'm not quite to a point of fully embracing it but I'm a hell of a lot closer and am working more towards embracing and loving myself more holistically. Messages like yours in this video remind me that I am in good company and am not alone in self-suppression and there is hope and light at the end of the darkness. Thank you.
You do whatever you need to do to feel more comfortable with yourself. That's one of the great joys in life, the potential to improve it. Thank you for the feedback, and I hope you find a place to truly thrive.
As a 72-year-old whose entire adult life has been enriched by study in Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist Scriptures, my immediate reaction to hearing about your asexuality was: wonderful! you can just skip over all the enormous difficulties lustful thought processes create for most people on the path to spiritual advancement. Whatever gender assignment you choose will be no impediment to further meditative progress, since the fires of lust most people experience - and the complications of relationships and offspring - is what generally creates the most difficulties in approaching Enlightenment. Whatever gender identity you express will not distract you from cultivating equanimity and quieting the mind to realize your higher self: which is always necessarily a solitary and inward facing process for everyone. Stay the course and know you are already farther along the path, than many people ever achieve in a lifetime of internal struggle against distracting conditioned thought patterns!
This is well-said and very inspiring and comforting, thank you

This is genuinely the sweetest message I've ever gotten. I wish you well on your own journey to self discovery.
I had no idea what to expect when I saw this in my recommended, but this blew me away!! Your story is inspiring and you delivery was so eloquent.
It is always a good day to know that someone out there gets to really know themselves, and be themselves.
¡congrats 💛🤍💜🖤!
