If so, then.. thank you so so so much.. i know im probably way late but, i didnt know until now who coined it so.. thank you.. maverique is exactly how i feel towards my gender and i just, when my friend came across that term and showed it to me i literally cried. Because its just… exactly how i feel about gender.. not male not female just me. And the flag is so pleasing to look at too… so… thank you ;w; youre my hero ☆♡☆ ….aaaaaahh, kindness overload. i seriously don’t know how to respond to this because i genuinely never know how to respond to such kindness… thank you so much for this incredibly kind ask message. it will forever mean a lot to me to hear that a word i coined…

    we-who-sleep-and-dream-alone said: Not really a question but more or less a statement. You’re a huge inspiration to me and someone I really look up to. Most adults in my life don’t talk about gender and gender identity the way you do and it makes me feel really good. ….i am at a loss for words, both because your words are so incredibly kind but also because of my own shitty headspace right now. thank you for this extremely kind message. to say that i’m flattered to be of any help or inspiration to you whatsoever is an understatement, so thank you. <3

    anonymous said: Thank you so much for writing “that time i did nothing: assumed consent &amp; retraction thereof”. I was in the same situation with a then boyfriend several times and I don’t know how to classify/ deal with it. Your internal monologue was so familiar. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one struggling with this. Thanks again for posting this and I hope you’re doing well. Kindest regards (re: this post) thank you for the kind message, anon. posting that post helped me realize that i’m far from the only person struggling with navigating an experience like that and it really does mean a lot to know that you’re not the only one. you writing this message adds to that, so thank you again and all the best to you as well.

    June 27, 2016 /

    anonymous said: Ty for your ace posts. I think a good translation for お疲れ様 is “Good work”? as I see that that usually matches most contexts. And also, お疲れ様 to you too for your work on ace activism. I appreciate it. it can be translated as “good work,” definitely. it’s just that that translation still lacks some of the nuances that i wish i could convey in English… sigh! either way, いいえ、こちらこそお疲れ様でした。thanks, but also same to you (and everyone else out there). 🙂

    celestialodysseys said: Hey I just wanted to say that four years ago I discovered your channel and it was one of the cornerstones of support and information for me as I started coming to terms with my Queerness. Your videos gave me a sense of comfort and pride and I always smile when I see something from your blog or YouTube channel <3   …i don’t even know what to say. it’s incredibly kind of you to take time out of your day to come and share this with me. thank you. it means a lot and it’s an honor to have helped you in any way. but seriously, sticking with me for four years? thank you. you’ve basically grown alongside me and that really is an honor. thanks for sticking with me and never stop being awesome. <3

    anonymous said: Oh my gosh you are absolutely amazing and wonderful and just askdfl. Thank you so much for what you’re doing, Vesper- it’s helped me so much. Not only has your advocacy helped me understand my own identity, but it has inspired me to educate myself about very important issues regarding gender, sexuality, and the constant marginalization of minority groups in the U.S. (I use the term minority groups bc if I name every group the U.S. devalues we’d be here all day. Which is sad.) Srryifthisisweird D: ….thank you, anon. you really are too kind. i don’t think my actions worthy of being described with such a word, but i’m very much flattered that you consider what i do to be advocacy. i view it as me having a lot of feels and an exhausting inclination for unleashing said feels onto the world in ways that sometimes make…

    May 14, 2015 / No Comments

    anonymous said: This isn’t a question, but I just wanted to say that I’ve identified with Asexuality for about a month now and I’ve found your blog (and youtube channel in particular) really helpful in coming to terms with my own identity. I am also genderqueer and so can relate to a lot of the issues that you cover in your videos, both from a gender identity and a sexuality perspective and it’s really comforting to know that there is someone else who is a little like me. So a huge thank you for sharing 🙂   thank you for watching and for being so kind as to write to me. appreciate it! and i’m honored to have helped you in any way. it’s comforting for me as well to know that there are others out there dealing with the same or similar issues that i am. wishing you all…
