3:30: "I was identifying as a trans man, and later as a [incomprehensible]."

A what?

A transcript is coming but I either said non-binary or nonbinitarian.

Thanks! I didn't know that part of your history. You mention often that you went through a trans phase, and I don't recall your mentioning before that you went through an "enby" phase.

Yes I came out on facebook. "Exulansic" is actually my gender-neutral nonbinitarian name which is why my private accounts from that year, 2015, (instagram and facebox) are @exulansic and so I get friend requests looking for TT Exulansic content.

Interesting that you still use your church name, even having left the church.

At this point it's a nom de plume. I don't use it in real life except with people who know me from the internet and I didn't expect to go viral under this screen name. But I do like it and I did pick it out for myself and I do think it represents a good concept when talking about trans and detrans about continuing to talk about things even if you're not sure other people will relate to them. Also my given name is quite feminine (Sierra) and there's research showing that this can affect things like book sales however my given name is not a dead name and I don't mind if people call me by it

Ex, I’ve been devouring all your content for over a year and I’ve always wondered what “Exulansic “ means to you? Would you be so kind as to elaborate? Thanks ❤️

Excellent presentation, Exulansic. I liked the questions to you and you explained very well and answered at length. I hope you peaked some of the women

Love it so far. We need to talk about it as a faith movement more

ADDING: Wow, so there's like 40 minutes of presentation and 45+ minutes of Q&A? I won't listen to the whole thing but the excitement level is high.

My mom did a presentation (very different) to a group of women her age using Helen Joyce and Abigail Shrier. She had similar response

What a terrifying moment given the introduction. So glad you went ahead and with such cool headed grace. This audience clearly needed to hear every word. They sounded like elders struggling to understand what their kids and grand kids are involved in. Their questions indicate their humbleness in wanting to understand and their intelligence in trying to put it all together.

This is epic! At first I thought there was a whole chunk missing, like men destroying female-only spaces. But I realise it is important not to overwhelm your audience. It was so interesting to hear some of the audience's responses. I might be imagining this, but I thought I could hear several pennies drop. I will send this presentation to all and sundry. Thank you so much for taking the time and going to all the effort of making videos and presenting to live audiences. Let me quickly put on a dozen hats so that I can take them off to you.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I really liked the interactions between you and the participants. Very happy to hear you're writing a book to make your research and personal experience available in another form. I cracked up with the Trump comment. It's not that scary over here on the dark side 🙂.

It's gratifying to hear how receptive these women are to the topic. I think that might be due to their age group. As far as older folk are concerned, it's just bad manners to attack someone for being out of step with social trends.

I dunno, the whole thing is so fraught with peril. You're doing a heroine's work.

What a fantastic presentation and interesting Q&A. You were so clear and logical and presented this material so that everyone could understand it. This shows the dark and real side to the gender religion, at a time when Kim Petras wins a Grammy award, TLC broadcasts the early seasons of "I am Jazz" and "Elliot Page" is on the cover of glossy magazines, thus glorifying and celebrating transition. There are so many happy bubbly and "gender euphoric" stories that trying to fight this on the side of reality becomes a heroic quest. I am so grateful to you for your heroism in shining light on this dark ideology. I am so excited to read your book! Thank you again for all the hard work you are doing.
