Your words and art on this subject are so meaningful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, as difficult as it must be to confront them and speak about it. We honor those we love when we live for them.
It took me a while to watch this video because I knew that it would be emotional. I've just kept it open as a tab on my computer since it was posted. We do have to keep fighting for them and against the injustices of the world. Sometimes it's so hard but we have people to remember to drive us on. We fight for them and live for them and remember them.
Thank you for sharing this with the world. Thank you for making this. Thank you for being precisely the person you are; I'm so incredibly moved by this. I've been feeling so tired lately. Tired of being trans and disabled in a world that isn't built for me. Tired (like you) from dragging the grief of so many loved ones with me every day. I was feeling close to the end of my rope, but this video (and your message) helped to instill hope in me. Together we can dismantle these systems. Thank you, again. I can't express the impact this has.
This was so beautiful, and I know a lot of what you've been through in losing them. My best friend and I were born with the same life-threatening disease. Every day, every breath, every heartbeat was and is and will always be a struggle and a gift. I watched him fight SO hard just to stay alive, while I was fighting that same battle. We supported each other. We understood each other. He was my best friend, my brother in many ways. One would think that he'd be embittered by all that he went through but he never was. Instead he greeted each day with a smile and met everyone, even when they stared at him and refused to include him, with the kindness he didn't get from so many people. He was such a profound light in my life when we were growing up that to lose him almost shattered me. Just the concept of a world without him in it was strange to me. Why did he die? Because when he started getting a lot sicker really quickly and was taken to the ER, the doctors there wouldn't listen, wouldn't take his history into account, and refused to admit him to the ICU until it was already too late to save his life. Back then, I didn't recognize the ableism we encountered for what it was, it just wasn't a word that was in my vocabulary, that is... until his memorial service, when the mother of one of his classmates wondered out loud in front of everybody, why his mother hadn't just aborted him the second she realized he'd be born the way he was. As though his condition, which made him physically weak and medically fragile, made his life pointless, when the truth is even though he was only given 7 precious years on this earth he still managed to effect and inspire so many people, myself included. But yeah, I feel you Annie, I feel you.
Watching this I remember the boyfriend I loved and sadly lost. I’m trans and disabled and he was trans. The hate he faced caused his death, maybe not directly but I think you understand what I mean. You’re doing great, and I’m proud of you. We stand together, fighting for those who are no longer here because of the horrid system.
Wow this was beautiful. This is exactly how I feel about benzo injured people (psych med injured people). It's been 20 suicides (from the benzo community online) since I got sick in 2012. They are the reason I speak out about our oppression. I carry them with me.

Too powerful for words... Keep moving and be the voice for those we've lost. So much love your way.

A very emotional and heartfelt video and a great piece of art to accompany the thoughts expressed in your narration.
