I love how you structured this! I'm a gay(ish?) transmasc, but I think the beauty of queer love and how you wrote about it is such a universal powerful experience.
I want to hold them, my queer experiences and those of others, even yours too! Our queer bodies are beautiful and resilient, and I'm glad I can get away with it too.
the 46 one made me get up from my bed and write some things for myself. it was nice. i also let myself have some fun and write down some punkts in similar style from my own place of raw honesty. self-exploration hell yeah o^o
i cannot relate to a lot of things from the manifesto, but by the end the existence of it made me happy. i am also v happy and grateful i got to read it. it made me think and quietly contemplate on the pact of love i made with myself a few years ago; how people change and grow and survive, how i change and grow and survive. thank you for the community copy, i will cherish it and keep in my mind corner as a proof that being trans does not mean i will have to hold my breath for forever.
i loved and related to the punkts 21-26, 28, 35, 62, 65 (i have not experienced that with another person, but sometimes i get to see myself throught the lens of self-love that evoke similar wondrous "oh"; thank you for granting me the realisation of that it is and the reminder of how it can feel), 70-73.
i never normally write comments as letters, it just felt right. hope u r trivin still. thank you very much and happy pride!
thank you very much for your words, i am humbled to hear that my writing inspired you!
about 46 — this was a tool a friend gave me, which was given to them by their therapist. i do this ritually, fairly often, even if i'm only vaguely feeling thoughts of doom creep in. it really really helps me. i hope it can help other people.
a lot of this text is a tool to help me get through a hard place. honestly i need to read this now more than i did when i wrote it. so it goes.
thank you for leaving this comment, and happy pride.
I'm transmasc, but I've definitely loved trans women. I see shades of the dolls I've kissed in this writing, and shades of myself, too. Thank you for this raw, sexy, honest, ferocious piece of queer lit, sister. I feel fed by it, and I'm going to recommend it to my trans friends of all genders. xo.
just quoting myself here:
this fucking slaps
…it slaps SO hard
reading this makes me love being a trans woman so fucking much. it’s that feeling i get by listening to Tami T or Sophie

I wish I was more articulate but thank you for being exactly who you are, and thank you for writing this.
