He's spot on - when you tell a hospital that you've even been on pain medication, they treat you like a third class person! It hurts and it's disgusting. RIP MOUSIE
Exactly! I had a joint and went to the a doctors appointment! The moment the doctor asked me if I do drugs. I said only weed! Everything changed. I wasn't treated with seriousness! Smh...the doctor left and I sat there for over an hour!
Really? I'm on pain medication; fentynal. Have been for two decades and no one treats me like a 3rd class citizen. Maybe 3rd class citizens are treated like 3rd class citizens. Maybe, just maybe, the only thing that separates us is education. All that is required to prevent people from becoming the subject of these videos is a high school graduation.
RIP Mousie 🥺 Thank you Matt for helping Mousie tell her story with the respect and love she deserved. Condolences to her friends & family & all who loved her.

I saw all these episodes about Mousie, in the right order without knowing this would be the end of her story. That comes to about an hour with her virtually and I truly fell in love with Mouise immediately. Strong woman and a very good representative of our community, for those have been fighting for their life like she did. Pure and genuine. I’m so heartbroken for her family and friends. ❤️ I feel truly blessed to have gotten the introduction of Mousie, but also robbed of following and supporting her in her life.
i think one of the reasons people were so drawn to her in specific out of all your interviews was her authenticity. we crave that stuff in this day and age where everything is a screen shot of the perfect moments in your life. she didn't shy away from the pain in her life but she also didn't let it break her. a beautiful tribute, matt.
you're so right, good observation. She was 100% true to herself and real asf! Just completely unfiltered at all times which is so rare in today's world. She was a real gem 💎 ❤
7.31.22 my mom passed away from stage 4 cancer. It's real especially when you have to watch them go down over the days and it's nothing you can do about it. Heart breaking 💔

They do offer the treatment but it's not cheap and alot of insurance don't pay or pay when you already have cirrhosis or worse, the treatment cost 86 thousand dollars atleast back in 2019 when I had the treatment and it had to be mailed to my home cause couldn't take a chance of the pharmacy not having the meds.

@@ellaovaAbsolutely! I’ve had the same experience. It was fine for them to put me on a narcotic schedule at 19, but when I had trouble getting off it (and still working a job in chronic pain), I’m a liar and system scammer because I bought it on the streets. They never even gave me a taper, or told me what Suboxone was, or I never would have done so. As soon as I found out, I was more than happy to not pay black market rates, and quit. They denied me previously recommended surgeries and specialists because, they said, they were concerned about me getting opiates from multiple doctor. If they had even looked at my file, they’d see my pain and disease was diagnosed by MRI, CT, and surgery, but they assumed I was lying. I never abused my prescriptions or asked for double scripts, never failed a UA. Now, it’s inoperable, and may kill me and there’s nothing anyone can do, because I was denied care for years, after getting off drugs. Even when people have actual addictions, they still have a body, which can get sick. It’s criminal how they treat us! If you’re in this position and they have Addiction Medicine docs where you live, see one. They can prescribe medication for surgery, so a doctor can’t refuse a procedure because they can’t “ethically” prescribe narcotics.
I've met Mousie in 2018 and she was so kind and funny! As we waiting for our ride we had this long conversation and she kept us company at a McDonald's till our friend showed up! I felt like I knew her til she I saw this! So sad! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ R.I.P. Mousie🙏🏾❤️
Stigma? As an addict, I know I can make every excuse in the world why I do what I do. But at the end of the day it is still an excuse. This person needed God. Should’ve turned to God instead of the Godfather homosexuality, trans, drugs, Violence. But it seems like from our story her mother set her up. And all this person needed to do was time to God to avoid hell.
This is so important. I am a recovered addict and I was saying litterally yesterday that no addict will ever feel safe telling the truth to doctors, therapists, any one that we think will treat us based on our use and not our problems. Rip mousie. You were honest and will truly be missed.
Exactly, they'll Always think we're "drug- seeking"....assholes, that's why we can never get the help we really need, then the only other option is to continue doing the wrong things to deal with our issues.
YT cut off my last comment. I lost all my care because my primary doctor wouldn’t let me see specialists, “You don’t need to see multiple doctors.” She kept stating concerns about me trying to get pain meds out of more than one doctor, using other meds that can make opiates stay in your system longer, etc. and this was all after I was through treatment and off pills! All any doctor would have had to do is read my chart, right in front of them, to see I had no history of abusing prescribed opiates, never had 2 pain doctors or filled double scripts, or failed a routine UA. The conditions I was treated with opiates for were diagnosed by MRI, CT scans, and surgery, and I never asked for opiates for a condition they didn’t prove I had. All I did was self-treat when they wouldn’t treat my pain because of their own policies…not any misconduct on my part, and then I told them and said I wanted to quit! Got arrested & lost my career, and all my medical care. Now my uterus is inoperable, because they wouldn’t remove it, a simple cure for my uterine pain & chronic, life threatening infections from the endometriosis they didn’t treat. Next time, I may die and there’s nothing anyone can do. My neck surgery would now be much more complicated, and I have organs affected by not having it done promptly. They assumed I was a lying drain on the system, without even checking. Even when people are actually addicted, even those who have lied to doctors (which is part of the disease, to not be able to reason if that is wise, due to nerve pathways to the prefrontal cortex being destroyed) can get sick and need medication and surgery! In fact, risk of life threatening disease is higher in addiction. You can’t just not treat people because you are put off by their behavior, or the behaviors you imagine they have. All this made such an impact on me, I got a CD certification & am studying Addictions. For anyone who has (or has had) addiction or self-treated pain, you should know you can self-refer to treatment and NOT tell your medical doctors. The records won’t be in your main medical file unless you sign a release. If doctors already know, see an Addiction Medicine doctor, who can prescribe you narcotics or Suboxone for after surgery, so no one can deny you a needed procedure on “ethical” grounds. I read all this stuff that says, “If you take Suboxone, tell your surgeon or ER so they can prescribe something that won’t interact with it for pain.” All doctors have done when I told them is make sure I don’t get care. Keep your records separate, or try to find an Addiction Medicine doc, to go to bat for you. Doctors treat substance users all the time….they just don’t know it. Stigmatizing people when they find out, or tell them, is discrimination.@@tarynmosakowski3512
For those who are seeking GOOD medical help. Go into that damn office and speak YOUR truth. All I heard was; "We don't want u to get addicted". I told one fool, I can literally go down the street and get pills, I'm here doing it the "right" way. So help me or I'll find someone who will, and I did. Never let the Dr. make u feel less than. Remember many Dr's and pharmacist are on drugs their damn self.
she was the reason why i subscribed to your channel and binge watch all of videos relating to her. because i love her personality and funny humor. RIP Mousie.
Literally crying my eyes out right now. Mousie was honestly the most interesting person you have interviewed and her passing would have been the last thing I would have expected.. From watching the videos on here, she showed us that no matter what goes on in life, we can pick ourselves back up and keep on going. She was such an inspiration and I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart. Sending my condolences to her friends and family. A legend that will forever live on. ♥
Matt, I am absolutely shattered by this awful news. My heart aches for you and all those who loved her. Thank you for bringing this strong, fearless and beautiful person into our lives. Ascend to glory and rest in peace, dear Mousie.
I hope she sees how many people are mourning her. How loved she is by so many who have never met her. How many people who see hope in her. How her story touched so many hearts. She has lived a whole life of love and struggle and just wanted to help people and Her legacy lives forever. Her shine will never be diminished. This one hits different. I looked forward to seeing her story be told. I'm glad u continue to tell it. RiP Mousie. If anyone deserves peace it is her.
Please know and understand that Mousie is not "gone", she is with you even more so now because she's in spirit 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼. She will forever be with you and watch over you. R•I•P• MOUSIE 🙏🏼😇💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am shocked! I loved this woman and found her on your show. She was so tough and amazing. I’m crying because she made me feel that I could deal with my issues by being strong and courageous. RIP beautiful angel!
I only know her from her first interview. And I learned so much respect from her that she cares so much about other people and her cats. Please tell me her cats are okay. Celebrating the holiday together
I’m in long term recovery, and was denied necessary surgery for years after getting off drugs, til I got an Addiction Medicine doctor who can prescribe pain meds for surgery. Now it’s inoperable, though, and I could die at any time, when surgery could’ve erased the risks to zero. I am always afraid for my cats! I’m so glad Mousie had loved ones close, so her cats were found. I hope her partner is able to keep, and care for, them. So sad her whole family is missing her now, her cats are her people. 💔.
I am so saddened by Mousie’s transition but I’m also relieved she won’t suffer any more! I instantly was drawn to her interviews and shared so many similarities with her! She was an amazing intriguing strong woman may she Rest In Peace with love
I just found this channel and I’m intrigued and Mousie was the first interview I watched and I instantly fell in love with her ❤what a beautiful down to earth soul 🥲 Rest peacefully Queen Condolences to Gio and everyone who knew her 🙏🏾🕊️
I kno what u meant when u said "real woman"! Not literally, but as far as her personality, how she carried herself, how she looked, etc.. Such an authentic person! I find it so unnecessary for people to leave negative comments, esp about someone who's passed! What purpose does it serve?!.. I wish that she could see all the love people had for her n the POSITIVE n loving words from all! 💔🙏
I had just watched her first video and now this one. Brings me to tears knowing such an amazing person has made her transition. Honor her by being strong. I will.
Oh this is so sad, I really understood Mousies mind set, she was a beautiful human being!!! R.I.P. MOUSIE LOVE YOU ALL THE WAY FROM AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND XOX
May Mousie's memory be a blessing to Gio, Tweety, and all her loved ones. Tweety is absolutely right, the way drug users are treated by paramedics and the medical field is abhorrent. In the comments for some videos in this series I've seen people throwing around the "tweaker" label or shaming people for using drugs. Using drugs doesn't make a person lesser, and it should never prevent someone from receiving adequate medical care. Mousie was such an inspiring, strong woman, and I'm so glad you had the opportunity to interview her and memorialize who she was for people to see
I’m going to school to he a drug and alcohol counselor for the LGBT+ community. I have first hand experience and think I can being a lot to the community in this way.
OMG I cannot believe that people can die from something like Hepatitis C in the United States of America. In Australia treatment for things like is subsidised. So that those who aren’t able to afford it, can. And it’s not a lot that we pay in the Medicare levy in tax for people to be able to enjoy that privilege. I think surely the USA must be able to do better. Sure our system isn’t perfect, but we would’ve done so much better for someone like Mousie. Thank you for knowing and showing her value Matt. ❤ and light to everyone from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I am shocked. I’m a year late Ino but iv seen your videos on mousie a few years back. Iv had kids and just been living life and this morning I just woke up and thought about her looking for an update and see this. I’m sickened and shocked. Such a beautiful soul.
Aww such a shame. Although for not a long time you both impacted each others lives and the result was a beautiful bond and creations in the form of your videos together. Our paths cross for a reason.
Aww Mousie, girl you are going to be missed by so many people who never met you. Not many people leave that kind of mark on the world. RIP, you don't need to fight no more ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m absolutely heartbroken we lost her. What amazing person she was and a inspiration. I hope she is at peace and look over her loved ones at this sad time. Rest easy Mousie ❤❤❤❤
Oh no! I just watched the series last week and I couldn’t wait to see more of Mousie. My heart goes out to the people who loved her. RIP beautiful Mousie. 💖💖💖
I’m am so hurt by this, and I can only imagine how you all feel. Mousie means so much to me and I was really excited to see her grace our screens again😢🖤
Such a sad turn of events. I'm so sorry Matt, but thank you for making this video. And thanks to her partner and her friend Tweetie for agreeing to have their grief filmed. Sadly, what they say about medical provider's attitudes changing if they know or suspect that a patient is a drug user. And yes, being queer/trans can also change providers attitudes (not all, of course). Rest in Power, Mousie. And healing to the many who called her friend or family.
Rest in peace Mousie! You were such an amazing soul! I don’t know you personally, but I fell in love with your beautiful heart and sincere care of humanity. I will continue to keep your husband, family and friends in my prayers. Sore high in the sky you beautiful Angel Mama! 💔🙏
I managed to hold it together until the end when she asked if it was okay if she called you lil brother 😢 she had your back and she was so grateful for you! RIP Mousie ❤
Noooo. Omg. This is so sad. Rest In Peace Mousey. You were a bright light shinning all the way to Tennessee! I enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing Matt. I look forward to more updates and episodes.
Rest in paradise Mousie you are one of a kind with the biggest heart. When I first met you we did state time in Susanville in the late 1990's . I remember you playing handball and the skill you had on the handball court. I recall that you were ironing and cuffing the state issue Bonneroes (denim jeans) and I had heard from my bunky that you would do that for a couple of canteen duckets (cash ), and I was in need to have my pants fixed since I was a clerk and I needed to be presentable. You helped me with that, and I'll never forget your kindness. You laughter was unique, your attitude fierce, but one thing that do remember that no matter who you would be talking, too I never heard any bad language coming from you. Rest Easy Mousie (aka Traviesa)
I have sat here wanting to write out my comment. But I just cant gather my words. I'm glad she shared her story. This ending touched my heart so bad. She died in pain, and that's just awful. I'm so sorry, rest in peace, Mousie.
This is heartbreaking 💔 My heart goes out to her husband. He's devastated. This made me cry, my heart breaks for all if you that had the pleasure of meeting her 💔 😢
She is def a legend and her energy continues to live on eternal! Mousie, we luv ya gyrl and we honor your strength, vulnerability, transparency, classy-sassy and no-nonsence attitude. Continued elevation to you💜💜💜
💠 Matt thank you so much for introducing us to Mousie. I am so saddened to find out of her passing and send my heartfelt condolences to you her husband and extended family. Rest in joy Mousie ✨
Sitting here crying and thinking to myself, how could another bright light be extinguished? One of my favorite stories and a true testament to being a fighter and a survivor of life. If not for your videos and stories Matt, we would never have known Miss Mousie. I feel privileged to have seen her videos and learned from her all these thousands of miles away. How lucky are we to have this collection of strength, insight and pure TRUTH of spirit? Rest in Power dear Mousie. Sending love and light to all those that have been lucky enough to have known her. 🫶🏼😭❤️💚🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
RIP Mousie she was so sassy you just had to love her! My love and prayers to her life partner, best friend and you Matt. You did and outstanding job with all of her videos! Blessed be Much love and light
Omg no way 😭 I just discovered your channel from your Mousie interviews and I fell in love with her and you! This is so heartbreaking 💔 she is such a beautiful soul.
Really heartbreaking that she passed. My condolences to Geo, Tweety and you Matt. Please keep in touch with Geo. I hope you can do an interview with him to let us know how he's doing.
I watched Mousie a few weeks ago when I felt really depressed and she made me feel stronger. She really made an impression on me. I also felt that she had already left us. I also want to send my thoughts to her family and partner. They should be so proud of her! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Rest In Peace Mousie 🌹 I hope in the spirit world she feels such a new love and peace during this time and that all the pain she endured is cleaned away. You are loved Mousie❤
She was a beautiful soul. Mousie is right, you never know a person's journey. Treat everyone with the same kindness and compassion you want to receive. RIP Mousie. My condolences to her adoring Husband and friends. ❤️
I just discovered her, she seems like she was an amazing human, condolences to her family. Hep c is such a treatable illness. She should still be here. I read it cost 84,000 for hep c treatment in the states. She should have been treated with dignity and love and respect.
RIP TS QUEEN MOUSIE! Love to see the love her hubby has for her. So adorable and so brave of him to be a street gangsta dude and love her so openly. Lots of people can learn alot from how authentic and real they both are! ❤
RIP Mouse. I got to know you through these UA-cam videos. And I never learned self respect or self esteem. And I learned these things through you. Thank you!
Seeing her husband break down just brought tears to my eyes. You can tell he genuinely loved Mousie for who she was.
That got me too fren 🙏🏾😭
He’s clearly heartbroken 💔
It makes me emotional seeing him in pain I'm praying for him 😔
So very sorry 🙏.

That IS the best compliment ,ever.

They think everyone is on drugs
I worry about my father because of this! I feel like they treat him like a human! Just cause he has a past? It breaks my heart!
Really? I'm on pain medication; fentynal. Have been for two decades and no one treats me like a 3rd class citizen. Maybe 3rd class citizens are treated like 3rd class citizens.

They denied me previously recommended surgeries and specialists because, they said, they were concerned about me getting opiates from multiple doctor. If they had even looked at my file, they’d see my pain and disease was diagnosed by MRI, CT, and surgery, but they assumed I was lying. I never abused my prescriptions or asked for double scripts, never failed a UA. Now, it’s inoperable, and may kill me and there’s nothing anyone can do, because I was denied care for years, after getting off drugs. Even when people have actual addictions, they still have a body, which can get sick. It’s criminal how they treat us! If you’re in this position and they have Addiction Medicine docs where you live, see one. They can prescribe medication for surgery, so a doctor can’t refuse a procedure because they can’t “ethically” prescribe narcotics.
I hope you check in on Gio from time to time 😢❤ He needs it.
She was one of the most fascinating people you’ve interviewed. This is indeed heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Mousie.
She was... she really was... I was absolutely transfixed by her...
@@andreaknisley154 that ain’t no she 😂
@@frjcde9392 I know this.....
ANNND???
??
@@frjcde9392 didn't u see the word "trans" in their comment?(TRANSfixed) They know what they were doing. Smh They knew it was a tran.
I've met Mousie in 2018 and she was so kind and funny! As we waiting for our ride we had this long conversation and she kept us company at a McDonald's till our friend showed up! I felt like I knew her til she I saw this! So sad! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ R.I.P. Mousie🙏🏾❤️
I've heard such nice stories of her. She seemed like a very cool person. RIP 🕊️
Truth! The stigma of addiction is sad. Especially being Trans. Gosh ! Such tragedy. I am a straight women and I feel for this !
Thank you for caring ❤
Stigma? As an addict, I know I can make every excuse in the world why I do what I do. But at the end of the day it is still an excuse. This person needed God. Should’ve turned to God instead of the Godfather homosexuality, trans, drugs, Violence. But it seems like from our story her mother set her up. And all this person needed to do was time to God to avoid hell.
@@Geminicricketiall that judgement won’t get you in to heaven btw.
This is so important. I am a recovered addict and I was saying litterally yesterday that no addict will ever feel safe telling the truth to doctors, therapists, any one that we think will treat us based on our use and not our problems. Rip mousie. You were honest and will truly be missed.
I agree
Exactly, they'll Always think we're "drug- seeking"....assholes, that's why we can never get the help we really need, then the only other option is to continue doing the wrong things to deal with our issues.
YT cut off my last comment. I lost all my care because my primary doctor wouldn’t let me see specialists, “You don’t need to see multiple doctors.” She kept stating concerns about me trying to get pain meds out of more than one doctor, using other meds that can make opiates stay in your system longer, etc. and this was all after I was through treatment and off pills! All any doctor would have had to do is read my chart, right in front of them, to see I had no history of abusing prescribed opiates, never had 2 pain doctors or filled double scripts, or failed a routine UA. The conditions I was treated with opiates for were diagnosed by MRI, CT scans, and surgery, and I never asked for opiates for a condition they didn’t prove I had. All I did was self-treat when they wouldn’t treat my pain because of their own policies…not any misconduct on my part, and then I told them and said I wanted to quit! Got arrested & lost my career, and all my medical care. Now my uterus is inoperable, because they wouldn’t remove it, a simple cure for my uterine pain & chronic, life threatening infections from the endometriosis they didn’t treat. Next time, I may die and there’s nothing anyone can do. My neck surgery would now be much more complicated, and I have organs affected by not having it done promptly. They assumed I was a lying drain on the system, without even checking. Even when people are actually addicted, even those who have lied to doctors (which is part of the disease, to not be able to reason if that is wise, due to nerve pathways to the prefrontal cortex being destroyed) can get sick and need medication and surgery! In fact, risk of life threatening disease is higher in addiction. You can’t just not treat people because you are put off by their behavior, or the behaviors you imagine they have. All this made such an impact on me, I got a CD certification & am studying Addictions. For anyone who has (or has had) addiction or self-treated pain, you should know you can self-refer to treatment and NOT tell your medical doctors. The records won’t be in your main medical file unless you sign a release. If doctors already know, see an Addiction Medicine doctor, who can prescribe you narcotics or Suboxone for after surgery, so no one can deny you a needed procedure on “ethical” grounds. I read all this stuff that says, “If you take Suboxone, tell your surgeon or ER so they can prescribe something that won’t interact with it for pain.” All doctors have done when I told them is make sure I don’t get care. Keep your records separate, or try to find an Addiction Medicine doc, to go to bat for you. Doctors treat substance users all the time….they just don’t know it. Stigmatizing people when they find out, or tell them, is discrimination.@@tarynmosakowski3512
@@sciencenotstigma9534 wow, you really got screwed! I read all that and they really f'd with you.
For those who are seeking GOOD medical help. Go into that damn office and speak YOUR truth. All I heard was; "We don't want u to get addicted". I told one fool, I can literally go down the street and get pills, I'm here doing it the "right" way. So help me or I'll find someone who will, and I did. Never let the Dr. make u feel less than. Remember many Dr's and pharmacist are on drugs their damn self.
I was just cured of my hepatitis C. I can't imagine what she went through. This poor sweet thing, rest in paradise beautiful ❤️
she was the reason why i subscribed to your channel and binge watch all of videos relating to her. because i love her personality and funny humor. RIP Mousie.
Same!
Oh no, what an incredible woman...God Blessings to her family.
RIP Moussie… didn’t know you, but I can see how many lives you touched. Fly high and proud beautiful one! 🙏❤️💔
I didn't know her either but I saw a brilliant video about her ...I loved her energy 💔😢 RIP beautiful soul
Mousie was such a survivor and had so much wisdom and depth in her past story. She really had a beautiful soul.
Literally crying my eyes out right now. Mousie was honestly the most interesting person you have interviewed and her passing would have been the last thing I would have expected.. From watching the videos on here, she showed us that no matter what goes on in life, we can pick ourselves back up and keep on going. She was such an inspiration and I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart. Sending my condolences to her friends and family. A legend that will forever live on. ♥
I didn't know Mousie but her passing is so hard she's a survivor and she gave me strength ...
Matt, I am absolutely shattered by this awful news. My heart aches for you and all those who loved her. Thank you for bringing this strong, fearless and beautiful person into our lives. Ascend to glory and rest in peace, dear Mousie.
I hope she sees how many people are mourning her. How loved she is by so many who have never met her. How many people who see hope in her. How her story touched so many hearts. She has lived a whole life of love and struggle and just wanted to help people and Her legacy lives forever. Her shine will never be diminished. This one hits different. I looked forward to seeing her story be told. I'm glad u continue to tell it. RiP Mousie. If anyone deserves peace it is her.
For Mousies husband .. You do not have to be strong . . Be You ... and only you ..She is with you allways ..Love You .
Just listen to him he sounds like a direct as well. And needs to turn from his sin. Or he will be in hell to.
May this person pass on to the next journey peacefully.
Rest in peace Mousie, you beautiful soul. You were sassy, fierce and a Survivor. I’m so sad to hear this. 😢😢😢 x
RIP Mousie... oh the stories she had to tell! A true trailblazer of our community 🕯
Mousie will forever be a legend. She was so strong and beautiful. She went thru so much and still lived a happy life. She’s now an angel
Beautiful where?
I don’t know why I cried even though I never met her. May she rest in peace.
RIP Mousie. It's been a year, and you're still not forgotten by so many. You live on in our hearts. Whether we personally knew your or not. xoxo
Please know and understand that Mousie is not "gone",
she is with you even more so now because she's in spirit 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼.
She will forever be with you and watch over you.
R•I•P• MOUSIE 🙏🏼😇💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am shocked! I loved this woman and found her on your show. She was so tough and amazing. I’m crying because she made me feel that I could deal with my issues by being strong and courageous. RIP beautiful angel!
This was not a "woman". It was a MAN dressing as a woman.
@@gemee1 What kind are of person are you to speak ill of the dead? Grow up.
I thought she was a cool lady ❤ RIP
I only know her from her first interview. And I learned so much respect from her that she cares so much about other people and her cats. Please tell me her cats are okay. Celebrating the holiday together
I’m in long term recovery, and was denied necessary surgery for years after getting off drugs, til I got an Addiction Medicine doctor who can prescribe pain meds for surgery. Now it’s inoperable, though, and I could die at any time, when surgery could’ve erased the risks to zero. I am always afraid for my cats! I’m so glad Mousie had loved ones close, so her cats were found. I hope her partner is able to keep, and care for, them. So sad her whole family is missing her now, her cats are her people. 💔.
I am so saddened by Mousie’s transition but I’m also relieved she won’t suffer any more! I instantly was drawn to her interviews and shared so many similarities with her! She was an amazing intriguing strong woman may she Rest In Peace with love
OMG I was in the county with her about 25 years ago….she was so sweet and I had a heart to heart convo with her . RIP MOUSIE !!!
Very sorry to hear. Take care of you. Everyone who reads this. Take care of you
I just found this channel and I’m intrigued and Mousie was the first interview I watched and I instantly fell in love with her ❤what a beautiful down to earth soul 🥲 Rest peacefully Queen Condolences to Gio and everyone who knew her 🙏🏾🕊️
Same
That is so so so sad. She was a real woman who was so sweet. Praying for her to be happy in her spirit life ❤️
“She”was not a real woman.
I kno what u meant when u said "real woman"! Not literally, but as far as her personality, how she carried herself, how she looked, etc.. Such an authentic person!
I find it so unnecessary for people to leave negative comments, esp about someone who's passed! What purpose does it serve?!.. I wish that she could see all the love people had for her n the POSITIVE n loving words from all! 💔🙏
@@stever507 ...... definitely not a "real woman". And the chromosomes don't lie. I am a gay man saying this.
@@jenniferrivera4054 ....get over yourself Jennifer.
@@jenniferrivera4054 cause people are tired of the delusions. But ya, RIP to the lady.
I had just watched her first video and now this one. Brings me to tears knowing such an amazing person has made her transition. Honor her by being strong. I will.
Same here today. What a unique & incredible me Angel. Matt it must have been so difficult to share this, thank you. Love to Gio, i hope they’re ok
Omg I JUST now discovered your videos on her and saw that she passed away … 😢 I’m crying writing this .
RIP MOUSIE 💔💔💔💔💔
This is absolutely devastating. I discovered Mousie from your channel, and have been captivated ever since. So sad to hear of this.
So sad, she was so sincere and honest and bold
I’m sending my deepest condolences to Mousie partner, loved ones. Friend & community. You will ALWAYS be🙏🏽 remembered. Rest easy queen 👑💛🙏🏽💙🕊️🙏🏽💙🕊️❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦
This hurts as if she was family. So grateful to have gotten to know her through your series. Rest in paradise beautiful 🕯🤍🕊
RIP to Mousie, thank you for sharing her story with the world ❤
RIP Mrs. Mousie. You will never be forgotten amongst this family platform. Thank you Matt.
Oh this is so sad, I really understood Mousies mind set, she was a beautiful human being!!! R.I.P. MOUSIE LOVE YOU ALL THE WAY FROM AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND XOX
May Mousie's memory be a blessing to Gio, Tweety, and all her loved ones. Tweety is absolutely right, the way drug users are treated by paramedics and the medical field is abhorrent. In the comments for some videos in this series I've seen people throwing around the "tweaker" label or shaming people for using drugs. Using drugs doesn't make a person lesser, and it should never prevent someone from receiving adequate medical care. Mousie was such an inspiring, strong woman, and I'm so glad you had the opportunity to interview her and memorialize who she was for people to see
I’m going to school to he a drug and alcohol counselor for the LGBT+ community. I have first hand experience and think I can being a lot to the community in this way.
Matt you really did this lady justice
It matters to see people who struggle being real and showing their fight
I pray God blessed you all❤
OMG I cannot believe that people can die from something like Hepatitis C in the United States of America. In Australia treatment for things like is subsidised. So that those who aren’t able to afford it, can. And it’s not a lot that we pay in the Medicare levy in tax for people to be able to enjoy that privilege. I think surely the USA must be able to do better. Sure our system isn’t perfect, but we would’ve done so much better for someone like Mousie. Thank you for knowing and showing her value Matt. ❤ and light to everyone from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah... I'm crying...Into your next journey, Rest easy Mousie.
Rest in paradise Baby Girl, I'm in complete disbelief that this is even real. We love you Mousie!
I was saddened to hear of her passing. My family comes from the streets and Mousie's story hit me hard. RIP, sleep well in paradise.
I am shocked. I’m a year late Ino but iv seen your videos on mousie a few years back. Iv had kids and just been living life and this morning I just woke up and thought about her looking for an update and see this. I’m sickened and shocked. Such a beautiful soul.
She definitely served her purpose. She saved many lives via her messages. This is my first time hearing of her and I am grateful. Rip my luv ❤
Aww such a shame. Although for not a long time you both impacted each others lives and the result was a beautiful bond and creations in the form of your videos together. Our paths cross for a reason.
Aww Mousie, girl you are going to be missed by so many people who never met you. Not many people leave that kind of mark on the world. RIP, you don't need to fight no more ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m sobbing. This is so tragic. I guess I can find some peace in the fact that she has left a legacy and bought joy and insight to so many people
RIP Mousie and he isn’t lying about watching the literal shift in their faces once they find out you’ve done drugs
What a powerful message! Her husband's tears made me cry!
I’m absolutely heartbroken we lost her. What amazing person she was and a inspiration. I hope she is at peace and look over her loved ones at this sad time. Rest easy Mousie ❤❤❤❤
Fly high Mousie!🕊🕊🕊Thank you Matt for bringing her into our lives and sharing who she was and what she brought to life in her time here.
Oh no! I just watched the series last week and I couldn’t wait to see more of Mousie.
My heart goes out to the people who loved her. RIP beautiful Mousie. 💖💖💖
I’m am so hurt by this, and I can only imagine how you all feel. Mousie means so much to me and I was really excited to see her grace our screens again😢🖤
Such a sad turn of events. I'm so sorry Matt, but thank you for making this video. And thanks to her partner and her friend Tweetie for agreeing to have their grief filmed. Sadly, what they say about medical provider's attitudes changing if they know or suspect that a patient is a drug user. And yes, being queer/trans can also change providers attitudes (not all, of course). Rest in Power, Mousie. And healing to the many who called her friend or family.
Rest in peace Mousie! You were such an amazing soul! I don’t know you personally, but I fell in love with your beautiful heart and sincere care of humanity. I will continue to keep your husband, family and friends in my prayers. Sore high in the sky you beautiful Angel Mama! 💔🙏
I managed to hold it together until the end when she asked if it was okay if she called you lil brother 😢 she had your back and she was so grateful for you! RIP Mousie ❤
Noooo. Omg. This is so sad. Rest In Peace Mousey. You were a bright light shinning all the way to Tennessee! I enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing Matt. I look forward to more updates and episodes.
Rest in paradise Mousie you are one of a kind with the biggest heart. When I first met you we did state time in Susanville in the late 1990's . I remember you playing handball and the skill you had on the handball court. I recall that you were ironing and cuffing the state issue Bonneroes (denim jeans) and I had heard from my bunky that you would do that for a couple of canteen duckets (cash ), and I was in need to have my pants fixed since I was a clerk and I needed to be presentable. You helped me with that, and I'll never forget your kindness. You laughter was unique, your attitude fierce, but one thing that do remember that no matter who you would be talking, too I never heard any bad language coming from you. Rest Easy Mousie (aka Traviesa)
I can't believe she passed. Just watched these videos and fell in love 😢
I have sat here wanting to write out my comment. But I just cant gather my words. I'm glad she shared her story. This ending touched my heart so bad. She died in pain, and that's just awful. I'm so sorry, rest in peace, Mousie.
This breaks my heart!!! Rest easy baby girl 💖
RIP beautiful Mousie🙏🏾♥️ Thank you for making these beautiful documentaries❤
My heart broke when I read the text, “We have only just begun you and I.” Rest in peace Mousie ❤
This is heartbreaking 💔
My heart goes out to her husband. He's devastated. This made me cry, my heart breaks for all if you that had the pleasure of meeting her 💔 😢
She is def a legend and her energy continues to live on eternal! Mousie, we luv ya gyrl and we honor your strength, vulnerability, transparency, classy-sassy and no-nonsence attitude. Continued elevation to you💜💜💜
💠 Matt thank you so much for introducing us to Mousie. I am so saddened to find out of her passing and send my heartfelt condolences to you her husband and extended family. Rest in joy Mousie ✨
Sitting here crying and thinking to myself, how could another bright light be extinguished? One of my favorite stories and a true testament to being a fighter and a survivor of life. If not for your videos and stories Matt, we would never have known Miss Mousie. I feel privileged to have seen her videos and learned from her all these thousands of miles away. How lucky are we to have this collection of strength, insight and pure TRUTH of spirit? Rest in Power dear Mousie. Sending love and light to all those that have been lucky enough to have known her. 🫶🏼😭❤️💚🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
RIP Mousie she was so sassy you just had to love her! My love and prayers to her life partner, best friend and you Matt. You did and outstanding job with all of her videos! Blessed be Much love and light
Omg no way 😭 I just discovered your channel from your Mousie interviews and I fell in love with her and you! This is so heartbreaking 💔 she is such a beautiful soul.
RIP Mousie. Such a strong, beautiful soul.
My deepest condolences to all who love her. ❤
Really heartbreaking that she passed. My condolences to Geo, Tweety and you Matt. Please keep in touch with Geo. I hope you can do an interview with him to let us know how he's doing.
I watched Mousie a few weeks ago when I felt really depressed and she made me feel stronger. She really made an impression on me. I also felt that she had already left us.
I also want to send my thoughts to her family and partner. They should be so proud of her! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
My heart dropped when I read the title. Mousie was a beautiful soul and bigger than this world. R.I.P Mousie you will be truly missed. 💔🙏🌹🌈
Rest In Peace Mousie 🌹 I hope in the spirit world she feels such a new love and peace during this time and that all the pain she endured is cleaned away. You are loved Mousie❤
You’re kidding me. 😢 Rest in peace Mousie❤ sending love and support to her partner and friends at this time and to you too 😭
She was a beautiful soul. Mousie is right, you never know a person's journey. Treat everyone with the same kindness and compassion you want to receive. RIP Mousie. My condolences to her adoring Husband and friends. ❤️
I just discovered her, she seems like she was an amazing human, condolences to her family. Hep c is such a treatable illness. She should still be here. I read it cost 84,000 for hep c treatment in the states. She should have been treated with dignity and love and respect.
Mousie was so amazing... crying right now watching this. Praying for her and her loved ones. She will be very missed 💖💖
I can't stop watching this over and over. I pray peace and light and energies of getting through to her partner, friends and family. This is heavy.
Matt, a big hug to you too! I can tell you also cared for her. A big hug to all of you beautiful souls who are trying to overcome. ❤🙏🏽
RIP TS QUEEN MOUSIE! Love to see the love her hubby has for her. So adorable and so brave of him to be a street gangsta dude and love her so openly. Lots of people can learn alot from how authentic and real they both are! ❤
There’s interviews are profoundly moving, hope you continue to give this content to the world Keeping all these angels in my prayers ❤
RIP Mouse. I got to know you through these UA-cam videos. And I never learned self respect or self esteem. And I learned these things through you. Thank you!
