    It shows true strength and courage to stand up on a stage, be vulnerable, and share your story versus the fabricated "strength" pushed by toxic masculinity. Proud of you and grateful to you, Marvin, for choosing to love yourself and speak your truth!

    Damn just the title inspired me like in this world being with one of those aspects is hard enough but all three. I don't know you and this doesn't mean anything probably but I am so inspired and proud of you as I'm struggling with coming to terms with myself.
