The fundraiser met it's goal, and a second SFA Movie is in the works! There's still a $10k stretch goal, and you can still donate to fund a third SFA Movie for down the line: www.gofundme.c...
I went completely silent in chat throughout Miki's whole story. It was just so hard to find the right words for the situation. I myself have survived several -suicide- attempts, so hearing that Thorn was considering it at one point made my heart sink.
That all being said, I'm really glad that Thorn is happy with who she is now. She has gone through so much and deserves happiness.
i remember discovering this channel in early 2011(i was 10-11 years old at the time.) at the time i was uncomfortable with my own identity for the longest time and i couldn’t figure out why. as the series continued, so did my journey and eventually i came out as bi in 2016. still everything didn’t feel right, then in 2018 i came out as a trans woman but only recently did i actually realize(i think) that i’m non binary femme. i don’t think i would have had thought about my own identity as seriously if it weren’t for this series existing in my life. i wish you the best in your transition too :)))
omg i started watching sfa when i was still going through a fricking rollercoaster with my gender identity and my sexuality.
nowadays i'm finally comfortable calling myself a pansexual trans man, and, to me, thorn coming out feels a bit like how she felt about philosophytube coming out:
everything's come full-circle
I feel the same as Yoshi, where I may not relate to the exact struggle, but I have had a few times kind of like that job comparison. I think you're all correct when you say that it's a little easier to sympathize/empathize (whichever it is) than we might think.
I'm happy everything's worked out for you.
Interesting to hear your story. This was actually a message I was gonna try and put in a donation, but because I was working, I didn't get to put this down, so I'll put it here. I found SFA when I was probably 11 since I was basically a little girl and, well, turns out I wasn't a girl, hahah- I just wanted to thank all of you guys though for all the good times because I enjoy watching SFA when I'm feeling down or have issues with my dysphoria because you guys never fail to put me in a good mood. And I wanted to thank you guys for helping me though all that. I'm hoping you the best of luck with your transition Thorn, you and all the others in The Midnight Frogs have inspired me through the years and have influenced my humor so much, and I thank you guys. Here's to many more years of great times and fun and I'm just hoping for great things for you, Thorn. Transitioning is very difficult, coming from a transgender male who's just starting HRT, but it's made me so happy to finally start noticing changes. I'm hoping it goes smoothly for you and I'm so happy for you guys reaching the goal. Thank you so much, I hope the best for you.
I found sfa at 12 years old and sense realized I am a lesbian.. I have rewatched it so many times because I just got this sense of comfort and safety in the series as a person who is lgbt. It made me luagh and feel better at the hardest of times.
Your bravery is truly inspiring and beautiful Mikaela, I am very happy for you!
It’s really nice to hear this story and stuff, like I watched the midnight frogs a lot when I was younger before trans stuff so it’s really nice to be able to hear this and relate to it.
I couldn't make it to the stream, but damn, I don't think I would have been able to hear Thorn's story if I was. I had to pause the video a couple of times due to me being very emotional after hearing the struggles Thorn went through and finding herself.
I know I said this before, but I'll say it again. I'm so proud of you coming out Thorn! I will forever support you and along with everyone else who has done the same.
