Nice to see you! If you don't mind me asking, why did you move so many times? Just curious. Love the new house! ☺

I dont live in the US, but i hear you, and i feel this in my core.

The tone in your voice resonated beyond words. I feel you. I'm with you. If there's one thing I know in these last few days is that our community is strong. Much love to you and your family Aydian

I'm also tired of being gaslit by his supporters who minimize the things that he has said and done. They know exactly what they voted for, they just refuse to admit the full extent of what they voted for.

It's disturbing to me that so many people in this country lack empathy and support a right wing extremist agenda.

I feel all of this ❤

What a day it’s been. We will regroup, and fight on. Can’t keep us down……the queer community has gone through so much, and we always prevail. ❤ “Permission to feel some sort of way” 💯 We need to take time and feel our feelings!!! So important ❤

Just wanted to state... I dont feel discouraged or hopelessness... I am looking at things in a subjective way. Trump is old... he is not well. Wont state how or why... we can see hes deteriorating fast. The only Republicans that seem to be celebrating and throwing themselves infront of a camera are MAGA Republicans.... So something else is going on behind the scenes. Basically the Republicans between now and swearing him in have the odds heavily stacked against them. If anything happens (felony charge, death, dr stating hes unfit, etc) Biden will probably call for a special election as Trump was the one that ran for president not Vance. Biden also has his powers that he can invoke if he so choses. Again, I think something is afoot and non MAGA Republicans know it and are keeping very quiet on purpose (so they dont get the backlash).

Trump supporters often speak of " Gods' will", what if he doesn't live out his full term?

I honestly don't think Trump is against trans people. Sure, he does not respect pronouns nor care about the community, but also he is not a moralist againt them. Except for minors and propaganda purposes, I doubt he will care too Much about trans folks while in power.

Thanks for this. I'm definitely struggling with this reality. It's... Defeating. How did the world get this way? It's so unsettling, and I just feel so down now. It's good to know there are others or there- we just didn't make the majority. 😔

Love you. This sucks

Sending you love and comfort, Aydian. You have been a lighthouse for this community for SO long. You deserve to sit with your sadness. Take care. Love to you and your family. xo

The United States is the empire in decline, and like any great empire it will collapse from within. With the most armed population in the world, the outcome will be very predictable.

Take heart! Indeed, the fight goes on. I can see the disarray of the LGBT+ community in the USA, but tomorrow you'll see a little more clearly. The battle is lost today, but not the war. The transidentity issue is progressing but we must let time do its work, even if Trump is here for 4 years. Message sent from Berlin by a transman

I hate this feeling of hopelessness. I am letting myself grieve today and will pick up the pieces tomorrow.

Another brainwashed person... patetic

💗

I'm so so sorry for my usa siblings, you'll get through this Our existence is resistance. But also, just as you said, give yourself the time to be sad

Do you think Kamala is better?

I'm feeling all the feelings today with you brother. Hugs.

Aydian, I know you don't remember me, but years ago I reached out to you for help in the best way to be a supportive father to my trans son. You were amazing, you even made a video about it. Fast forward and my son is married, moved on with a happy life but like you and many people in this space he's had some concerns during this political run up. I'm not going to start any mess on your comments page, I respect you and appreciate you too much. But just know that there are people who may vote a different way, that don't hate you or anyone who lives a different lifestyle, there is a lot of misinformation and scare tactics used by both sides. I urge people to keep talking, build personal relationships, don't tear them down and for people to use their OWN powers of discernment, especially when they come into contact with information that they find affirming their position very easily...challenge that info first. If you get TOO excited by something, if it seems too convenient to help bolster your own position, challenge it, research it. I live by that and by doing so have come to realize that pretty much everyone with a bullhorn, is trying to convince you of something. Be skeptical. Once again, I understand how people feel in the community, I have a child I love dearly that is living through a lot of uncertainty, but most American's simply want a better America, for all of us. Keep up the great work, and please know that half of America doesn't hate you or people like you.

I'm a trans person in Canada. I am so scared and so devastated for my American kin. You're about to lose all the fights you have literally DIED to gain and protect. Violence against us is bound to increase as people take Trump's election as permission to hate us even more and keep blaming us for all of society's problems. If you're a trans person in the US, come live in Canada if you can. WE want you here. ❤

I feel angry, and disappointed in America. I’m not suprised, I live in a real red and rural area, I’m aware of how mean and frankly facist people can be. Making plans to leave Texas and head to New Mexico. I’ll fight, but more than that I’m making sure I survive and document it. I WILL become a trans elder. Fuck it. We have always existed and we always will, no matter how hard they try to make it otherwise.

This is beautiful! I love to see someone come into themselves more and more. Thanks for sharing !

The soup tool is an immersion blender! 😊

The delta 8 gummies are they legal in all countries does anyone know?

I love your shirt in the beginning 🐈‍⬛🎃 I just made what I call my "cream of armageddon" soup last week. I took all the veggies and all the broths I had leftover, put all the extra soup vegetable packets in with everything, some chicken, cooked if forever, then used that mixer like you have to make it into a very hearty and nutritious soup. Looks exactly like yours, but must be more dense because I can't thaw it out very well 🤣Takes 3 days to get it out of cube form from the freezer if I thaw it in the fridge. I love that you are letting Antler have his own life and choose what he wants for himself 🥰Caring for your kids is a great parental move, kudos to you for being great parents, nay, awesome parents! 🤩🌟✨⭐

Hey dude, been watching your vids for a long time now. Love the your vibes in these videos these days. Kinda of “I don’t’ give a Fuck vibe.” I know that sounds weird but it’s a good thing! Just feels more real. Stoked for your CO journey. I love Colorado!

Hey Man! Local in CO and would love the opportunity to connect! I shot you a message on IG if you might be up for it! Glad to have you all local!

Hey Adian! Look at you growin with the cookin! My youngest is stationed in NM and he was mentionthe the breathing issues and I suggested in him getting an altitude mask. It will train your lungs for the changes.

First!

I'm two months back on T after being on a break for the first time and I'm so much more tired this time😭 i could sleep all day!

Transphobes can get lost.

if youre not gonna eat maybe it will be more easy to make a sonic piñata XDDDD

Hello neighbor

2:20 You need to paint a cute mural on the fence! 😃😁 Or a bird feeder garden, or lots of flowers that the bees can enjoy? Lots of options! Congrats on the move, I hope you love it there and have good neighbors 👍 .5cc - Wow, I've been following you for that long? hehe (I had another account but I lost the password for it, trying to remember to recover it someday lol) Point of pride website bookmarked, Out100 links sent to my friends, and I'm already helping you plan your fence view lmao! So good to see you, how far you've come, how happy you are, your wonderful family, and what a wonderful person you've become since I started following you! Much love and support from northern Minnesota! There's no snow here yet, but the migrating birds are doing their thing already! Is Sonic made out of rice crispy bars? Looks like a Halloween Sonic right now lol! I'm wondering how it turned out now, can't wait for the video about it! And of course a happy birthday to Antler whenever it is! 🥳 I know I have you on my other social media, but I keep forgetting I have it, I think old age is setting in! 😳I turned 47 this year! YIKES! This video was just fine Aydian! I enjoyed it, and of course the updates! Thank you and good to see you again ☺

hey neighbor!!!

Hi Aydian! Glad you have a pod cast platform, but I really do miss you on KZbin! Jennilee your still so beautiful 😊 God Bless you both 🙏 keep going Aydian... Keep going! Diane from NY

Definitely relate to the assumptions part. 10 years ago people definitely thought I was straight (interesting that people thought you were gay lol), got “your wife” “your girlfriend” exc when I would refer to my significant others as just “my partner”. While now I think people make far less assumptions. When I say “my partner” they stick with the language generally without assuming she or he. Also all the trans men I saw online back then were with women so there wasn’t really examples of trans men with cis men while now I think it’s more visible.

❤❤❤

gonna do T when im able 2, tysm 4 the vid

Got my 3rd shot yesterday and I'm exhausted today... Like I cant do anything. So I guess that's from T then? Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow 😅 I have definitely been more tired in general since starting T but never like today. Today it feels like I didn't sleep at all last night when in reality I had a pretty good night sleep. (I get a subcutaneous shot every two weeks, so I've been on T for 4 weeks.)

😢I envy you 😭

Felt all the nostalgia from this episode. Love it.

Pros: more mainstream - people are more trans knowledgeable, more rights, more acceptance Cons: people are more trans knowledgeable and using that to hurt others and take away rights. Also anyone remember livejournal groups? Lol

Favorite episode so far! It's crazy how much things have evolved in the community. I love it. Also, remember Hudson's guide? So many memories from when information was harder to come by.

I'm a virgo love you guys lol

Id throw in llona for best costume as well 🏈
