Yes, the thumbnail is horrible. The video is still good though.

Video description:

I bet you thought coming out as trans was all glitter, pride flags, and instant self-love. Cute, right? Turns out, it’s mostly confusion, paperwork, and people asking weird questions. So yeah, total blast.

I blame evolution. Suffering such fundamental identity misalignment for some niche minority strategy benefit is fully consistent with how fucked up nature can be. Once you realize queer people actually reproduce for various reasons, you can let go of the outdated notion that we rely on cishets to exist. We're just as much a cog in the machine as people who are simply basic breeders.

I don't know where I heard this, but it's a lesson I have taken in: Nature does not strive for perfection, all it requires is a "good enough".

And that may very well be one of the reasons why so many people (the worst kind of atheists and christian supremacists among them) are challenged by the existence of queer people: They consider humans to be the pinnacle of creation/evolution and the messy reality of queer people's existence undermines the core of their beliefs. Yet humans are flawed, inherently messy creatures and in that messiness grow strange, often beautiful flowers.

Nature is literally "it just works" extrapolated for billions of years.
