- Hi! I’m Andromeda (she/they) thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy!
QOTD: What kind of resources are you looking for as a queer person?
I’ve begun thinking about making a comprehensive resource for everyone who watches my channel to access so that they can find resources they need. Noticing the mess and sheer number of links to queer resources, businesses, and organizations, etc. that are beginning to build up in the descriptions of my videos, I think it will be good to start making a comprehensive resource for you all that will have a more organized way of finding resources you need or want. Please put QOTD in your responses to this question as it will make it easier for me to search for your answers. Thank you!!
I also just wanted to address something briefly given that it is especially more obvious in this video - I only put people’s pronouns in the video when they are in that person’s bio, or in a video they’ve posted, or in the comments of a video of theirs, etc. The pronouns I put in videos are meant to be used so that everyone who see’s them is able to not misgender that person, which is why there are sometimes no pronouns for parts of a video, I am not going to assume anyone’s pronouns and cause my viewers to misgender that person. It was just something I wanted to mention as today’s video has a larger number of videos than usually where I was unsure of their pronouns and so left them out.
Remember to try to eat and stay hydrated. Remember to follow precautions and bind safely if you are binding. These include not wearing a binder for over 8 hours, stretching, taking breaks, and just breathing. And if you are tucking please follow precautions so you can do it safely. Just like binding, you shouldn’t tuck for over 8 hours. If you can take breaks, then it is advised. With both binding and tucking please read up on advises precautions for safety and possible risks. And remember that no matter what you are going though now, no matter how hard it will seem- it always gets better. I know this is something you’ve probably heard a lot but you only hear it because it’s true. It could get harder before it gets better but it does get better. Lastly, remember that you are loved and valid! I love you all! Stay safe!!! ❤️❤️❤️

5:59 EVERY TIME SCHOOL SENDS A FORM, OR IN EVERY SINGLE RULE REFERRING TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY, IT SAYS THIS. IT MAKES ME FEEL TERRIBLE AND INVALIDATED AND DYSPHORIC EVERY TIME AND IT COULD BE FIXED BY JUST CHANGING 2 WORDS TO 1. *SO DO THAT*
The son/daughter thing is SO STUPID
IT REALLY IS STUPID AND IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING
Dutch paperwork & websites are so often focused on binary people, so often exclusive of enby people.
GREMLINS UNITED UPLOADED TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY
Yasssss!
YOOOOOOOO
A VERY WONDERFULLY FRUITFUL DAY
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY TO BE GAY
The last two clips really hit home for me. As a cis(?) boy with long hair, I live in a weird middle ground where on the one hand, it's stupid that people assume I'm a girl just because I have long hair. But on the other hand it genuinely feels kinda nice when people assume I'm a girl.
“Cis(?)”
“Feels kinda nice when people assume I’m a girl”
*Buddy I’ve got some bad news*
@@MLiskindagay good* news (although we are only two strangers joking around on the internet and gender is a journey only you can go through
@@fluffysprout it’s good news that they might find who they are, it’s bad news that they’re *probably very wrong*
damn bro any updates? if it feels nice when people think you're a girl, you might be a girl 😳
@@personone1382 I'm still figuring my shit out. But I don't think I'm a girl. Honestly I don't know what fucking labels apply to me. But I know my pronouns, and I know how I want to present. I understand my vibes, and that's good enough I think
Thank you for these compilations and taking the time to include the links. They never fail to help me feel valid in my sexuality and gender expression. Love this community 💕
This ^
5:33 There was one time at my after school program when they had someone come in to explain like sexualities and genders. She was trans and lesbian, but decided not to take the surgeries.
Girls, guys and nonbinary highs. You do not need to take the surgery in order to be trans or nonbinary. On a sidenote, dysphoria isnt the best way to tell if your trans or nonbinary either. The best way to tell is the euphoria you feel from someone calling you by those pronouns you adore so much.
You do not need to fit into stereotypes or look a certain way to be a certain gender or sexuality either (lord knows Ive met enough bigots who claim that someone isnt gay because of the way they look). Sexuality and gender is about how you feel yourself and who you know you love. It isnt based on looks.
Thank you for your videos.
They are not only really well edited and a cause of serotonin for me, but I also appreciate the effort to include resources for people to educate themselves.
out of genuine curiosity, where does the ‘ queer ppl walk fast’ stereotype come from 😭?
it makes perfect sense
we walk fast so our ankles don't get cold bc we have to cuff our jeans
simple
Reality
I was walking fast before i knew i was gay. Honestly tho, why i wonder?
@@rachel2259 lmao i never got that cuffed jeans stereotype either maybe it’s bc i’m not american 👍🏻
I think it comes from a old post on tumbler, it show a route from Google maps and the queer ppl took less minutes that a train. (Sorry if I wrote bad, English it's not my first language).
The first one is literally me I have walked into so many people its insane, but its not my fault yall are snails and I have places to be
5:05 the same author (along with another co-author) wrote a two book series, which is a queer, futuristic, genderbent retelling of King Arthur. The first book is called “once & future”, and I’d highly recommend it.
QOTD: Maybe resources on online safe spaces for queer teens in Asia? It's very niche, I know, I've been looking for one myself but I can't find any based here (Philippines) or one that's international.
Also, I love what you're doing!!! Finding a curated list of resources for queers has been difficult, especially if you live somewhere that doesn't have much LGBTQ presence. I do hope you're not burning yourself out, you always tell us to take care of ourselves so...
Remember to try to eat and drink some water. If you have any medication you are supposed to take, remember to do so. If you are binding, bind safely, and if you are tucking please do so as well. Most of all, remember you are loved and valid and deserving.
That’s one of the things I think I’ll find the most difficulty in putting together this resource is finding resources for any places other than where I am - it can be difficult enough finding local resources. But what I think I may do is make a form and ask for people to submit any local queer resources they have access too so I can widen the reach of the resources I’m able to compile and make it more inclusive on a world wide scale (maybe even making an index in future where people can find organizations and resources by location) as I know a lot of the resources I can provide cater to the US. And don’t worry about me! This is going to be a very gradual project for me, one that I put together over time as I find new resources and get more recommended. It will also probably involve a lot of community work and conversation and so I won’t be handling this work alone. And thank you for the reminder to take care of myself, that’s really sweet of you!!
Yea whenever i'd try to look up one of the more controversial queer sources like trans or intersex people and their lives/struggles, most times i'm just directed towards transphobes or cis people debating their existence via their vague opinions over actual science evidence.
5:18
Love the representation, but why does it always have to be a love story? I just want non-binary/queer representation that's not love focused for once
AOTD: i'm tryna fund resources for products like binders here in Nepal but it's quite hard.
If you or an organization is able to set up a go fund me or some form of fundraising and figure out how those donations could go to funding those kinds of products, I could always link it along with other go fund me’s in the description or the comprehensive resource I’m going to be working on setting up. I don’t think I’d be able to help with setting that up for you but I could certainly give a platform for it so people who are interested in donating can help out once it’s set up!
Just wanted to say that last weekend I’ve been to my first queer party ever and I’ve never felt so free, safe and not judged by people around me ❤️ if you can, please connect with your local community. It can help you so so much to feel accepted for who you are ✨
Awesome
This video couldn't have come on a better day. Today I finally figured out my sexuality. Haven't figured out gender yet but that will come with time. (It did) For now I use he/they pronouns and I am biromantic asexual. I thought I would share my victory with you all. I hope you all have a wonderful day/afternoon/night. Love you all❤️
Edit: I decided to start using she/they pronouns at school to see how I like it. So far I like it
Edit 2: Ive pretty much figured out gender and have been using nonbinary as a label for the last couple weeks. And I've changed my pronouns to he/she/they and I've changed my name at school as I'm still closeted
Edit 3: I changed my pronouns to he/they, I also got a binder and am still closeted
Hey I’m also a bi ace! Congrats on figuring it out I’m proud :)
hey a fellow biromantic ace!! hope you’re doing well
@@kaelin7090 I'm doing very well! I've made a few queer irl friends and have several queer online friends. I haven't told my parents yet but, I will when I'm ready.
YES!! TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY
Hello 👑 Majestys, Queens and Kings👑 of the world-wide! Hopefully you had/having a great day!
You have a amazing day too! 💜
In answer to the question of the day, I would love to see some resources for figuring out your gender identity.
Thank you so much for posting your videos, they bring positivity and joy to my day whenever I see them!
gremlins! i was having a kinda bleh day but then i saw you uploaded. by far my favorite youtube channel. always good vibes. thank you
5:54 the psychology professors at my college who wrote my textbook consistently use "he or she" instead of just saying "they" or "person" or something and its like??? considering we have a whole chapter about gender and sexuality, you'd think they would serve to be a bit more inclusive. oh, and the fact that it was literally written this year like huh?
Its not even about inclusivuty its about writing things consively omg.
@@theparrot6516 i'm nonbinary so i would certainly appreciate the inclusivity, but its also just straight up longer to say "he or she" rather than just "they," like these professors aren't trying to meet an essay length requirment theres just no need
This turned my whole week around thank you for making this video hope ur well
Thank you for your videos. I was feeling stressed and kinda shit this morning but now I feel a lot better. So yeah. Thanks for everything 💜
Bro I'm literally in love with the positivity of this channel. Like ur seriously so nice❤
No matter who you are, where you're from or who you love, we will always support you, you're always welcome and we love you no matter what, now go have a great day and smile more often, your smile is beautiful! ❤️💛💚💙💜
Thank you so much!! 💚💚💚💚I think you dropped this 👑
@@paperbag7690 Aww that's so sweet, thank you!💚💚
0:33 this absolutely vibrates with vine energy and I love it
Love the fact that my birthday falls on intersex awareness day
YES GREMLIN UPLOADED!!!!
I was waiting for your video YES I NEED THAT
Omg!!! I love the fact that you're adding the links. It's lovely and thank you for doing it 👏🏻👏🏻💙💙
Y'all im not one to brag but I GOT A GIRLFRIEND OMG :0

Oh my gosh! I hope your relationship goes well! Congratulations!
im happy for u
Girls and femmes so cute! ❤️🏳️🌈🌈✨
All of u are so sweet! And ye shes a femme and im an alt femme, so we have opposite aesthetics :>
HEY!!
I remember watching one of these compilations a while back. There was a Tik tok that had a scene that said “when ur the sarcastic bisexual who’s constantly reminding ur friends abt how h0rñÿ you are”
I’ve been searching EVERYWHERE and if any of you guys know where the Tik tok is, PLZ LET ME KNOW, ITLL MEAN SO MUCH
Ty luvs stay safe :)
I really love those messages at the end of your videos reminding every to truly look after themselves, and including the links to that information and fundraiser as well as mentioning that they're there
My favourite part of this channel is that they do trigger warnings properly, like putting it before the video instead of a stupid red box at the bottom of the screen. I don't need them personally, but thank you.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE RESOURCES IN THE DESCRIPTION :)))
its a good day when gremlins united posts
YOOOO GREMLINS UNITED IS HERE ALL IS GOOD
I love your videos!! Thanks for the upload!
I recall being the only one in my family that likes iced/cold coffee- Hmmm.. That on its own should've been an obvious sign that I'm definitely not straight lol
Me whenever I see someone say that they're in a bad situation or need a home: *arms out* Girl come here, my family will adopt you come here. ( I use girl as a gender neutral term btw ^-^)
I like the added effort you put into your videos by giving resources in the description for people who are interested in supporting somebody or learning about something new. I wish more compilations made that more common/normal especially with crediting (for non-tiktok related comps)
The time and thought you put into your compilation is very heartwarming!
gOoD GOdDaMn POinT - it would be so much easier to write child instead of son/daughter. what is the point.
Oh also about the QOTD: Some more details on abrosexuals? I've recently came to terms with being genderfluid and use the pan/demi/omni labels for my sexuality until i learned abrosexual existed. It seems rarely talked about despite having a very simplistic concept.
(It's just the genderfluid of sexualities, your attraction to genders change. I.e from gay to ace to demi.) Obviously it's different for every individual how they express or feel their abro-ness.
thank you for giving us the resources, the article about the importance of including queer people in geo sciences was really interesting!!
You are by far one of my favorite queer channels bc I can tell you put sooo much effort into these videos. It’s super uplifting…. Idk y but even though im questioning I feel safe here
Its good to see you gremlin
I don’t want someone to hold me and tell me everything will be alright, I want to know that there’s someone who I can talk to anything about and they’ll always be there.
I just love these videos… the fact that they include every link to help those people and make sure to put these beautiful messages in the video is just so heartwarming and sweet. I always feel included and love when I watch these videos. Plus, I usually want to educate myself on these topics so when they put the links down below it’s much easier for me to educate myself and/or sign some petitions. Thank you so much for your content and have a lovely day❤️
1:40 this me me being gay and nonbinary. It's not even with other people, it's just me thinking "if I'm nonbinary, how can I also be gay? It makes sense, I like guys, was amab, and am nb, but by solid definition it doesn't work!" And then I realize that it's not by solid definition and as long as I use terms that give the general meaning, it works.
on one of my websites my teacher assigns work on, it asks your gender, and instead of Male of Female, it lets you type it in yourself. thank god, i'm so relieved that society accepts us a little bit.
4:30
That’s why im being chucky for halloween
My life feels like it’s imploding in on itself rn, these made me happier. Thanks!
Every thing about your channel makes me so happy. The little notes at the end are so amazing! Thank youuuuuuuuu
This is the most well put together video I have ever seen. Congratulations.
Oh heck yes
Your videos make me so happy :) I love your channel and you’re honestly really nice. Todays gonna be a good day :)

QOTD: As a queer person, I would be interested in a compilation of queer-friendly numbers and websites (preferably international) for confused people. Everyone I have ever had to come out to has always been curious about my gender and stuff. I never felt like like I was giving a proper explanation of queer struggles. So, I wouldn’t mind getting better information along with the science supporting it.
Of course!! I’ve been working on the document over the past few days and one of the things I’ve been doing is going through each label for queer identities and explaining it briefly as well as including several resources with it that go more in depth. One thing I will certainly recommend to you now that will help a lot for what it sounds like you need is a resource called The Gender Dysphoria Bible - it has an in depth look on the history and science of being transgender and gender dysphoria so could help if you want to refer people to a resource with that kind of content!
I am also just working on trying to give an explanation of queer struggles as well as resources for people to learn about them in more depth, those kind of topics will likely come later down the line in the resource as I want to give them the attention they need so I’ll have to be working on them gradually.
@@gremlinsunited2433 Thanks for the recommendation! I checked out The Gender Dysphoria Bible and it is really helpful. I eagerly await your completion of the document on queer identities.
Of course! I’m glad that helped out!!
love that you include the creators pronouns and links for whatever they do, that's awesome!
I love you’re channel! It feels like a little nook of rainbow and safety, and thanks for putting all those links in the description!
Ty for the reminders. I literally almost forgot to take my meds 😂
Im subscribing soely bc Andromeda is the best name ive ever heard
I really love your videos, they're so wholesome and it makes me smile how much effort you put into then, do you think you could also start putting in a go to bed reminder in the end of the videos? I have troubles going to bed at decent times, and I feel like having that little reminder may be really nice
These videos are always so wholesome and amazing, thank you so much for all of this. It always makes my day. And, if I may, can I request you do another Ace video?
Your channel makes me so happy! You are the only CZcams channel I've ever seen put someone's pronouns in the video, support all the small businesses and link them in the description, it makes my day what you upload ♡♡♡
So glad that theres links in the description! I dont have tiktok so i wouldnt have been able to find them! 💕🏳️🌈
Your vids are so well done and made with genuine care and consideration. thank u so much for this resource and making my day better💙
Just preordered ✨the heartbreak bakery✨
I have to wait till freaking December but I’m WAITING because I’m GAY AND IT’S _✨G A Y✨_
Heck. 4:05 made me realize I might just wanna use all pronouns. Bc I kinda wanna be with a guy in a mlm way, and I’ve always kinda wanted to be feminine but in a masc way. But then on the other side I wanna be masc in a feminine way. Lmao I confuse myself all the time I swear.
Ah. Ya see. When I was younger I genuinely did the "But I'm not trans" to know there's the audio for that. Is both funny and sad for me that I thought the "but I'm not" is a valid excuse 🤣💀
thank you for sharing links in the video description!
These are just the best tiktok compilations on the internet. You do such an amazing job
6:20
I’ve been in my school’s GSA for a year and last month I mentioned to my closest queer friends I was questioning Aro-Ace and they were like “WE THOUGHT YOU WERE STRAIGHT!?!?”
Like Bruh, I’ve gone to every single meeting and walk around with a pride pin on my bag and a pride bracelet on and I send y’all LGBTQ TikToks.
😂
(No hate to them tho. Love ma frens)
I love your channel, it's such a positive space and these videos always make me smile. Thank you so much for the impact you have made 🥰
Thank you for all of the links and resources! That’s really awesome of you to include!
i told someone that they have the same vibes as a guitar solo from a song and they said lol and now i will be hiding in my room forever
You're by far the BEST LGBTQIA+ channel I've seen so far, and I've been here for a while.
(This account is new, I made it so I can post videos btw)
3:26 ok first I was smiling and happy when they pulled the djungleskog out and then i realized HOW DID THEY FIT THAT IN THERE????
This channel is so wholesome
4:17 I FEEL CALLED OUT THIS IS NOT OK /j
thank you for the links I'll be sure to check them out!!!! also I love your uploads they make me feel better
I just found your channel and I already love it! I am a closeted pan so im hiding in the PANtry atm idk how to come out yet to my parents idk how they will react, i like watching these compilations while hanging out in the pantry, they're nice! I love your positivity, it makes me feel so valid, tysm
this makes me feel so happy-
03:04 omg this is so accurate - i can't - i
Hey, I don't mean to be rude and it's great that you include so many links in the description, but I think a one time message of this at the beginning instead of multiple ones would not disrupt the flow of the video so much. Anyways, great work, love your content :)
1:39
Freddy, you're supposed to be on lockdown!
But Vanesa, how can I Live Laugh Love in these conditions?
Absolutely love your videos! Always so thoughtful and funny 💛
I love your videos! Thanks for putting all the links and stuff.
I love that you have included so many educational websites ♥️ 🏳️⚧️
How much of a great person can you be?
Gremlins United: yes
So I’m going to be asking for advice here-
Hi! I’m a non-binary kid who is developing top dysphoria. I really want to ask my mom for a binder but am too scared, even though she’s very supportive, I’m still paranoid and afraid. Could anyone give any advice on how to ask her? Because of it I haven’t been taking care of myself, mentally or physically, and it’s really starting to weigh on me. I don’t like feeling like this and just want to be happy in my body, so please I’m asking for any tips or advice anyone has on how to ask her.
Since she's supportive, you could maybe hint about it! Like leaving a note, or something like that
Tell her how top dysphoria makes you feel icky and is ruining your mental health. Tell her you really need a binder.
Btw, a good place for binders in G32b and underworks
I got my binders from there :>
@@nicomoist5336
Thank you!
You guys are so thoughtful with your vids I love it so much stay amazing as always!
3:00 Bro Sophia Lillis in I Am Not Okay With This?? I cannot
Ok but, "the point is in space, and you're twenty fucking leagues under the sea" is so powerful and I will be quoting this at some point in the future.
6:34 FINALLY SOMEONE FCKING SAID IT OH MY GOD
I dont even sprint i naturally take strides that are longer than 8 of my moms steps
I LOVE UR VIDEOS SO MUCH AAAAH
Today is my birthday I’m 21. I can legally drink. .....I cried for an hour and a half because chipotle was closed and got myself a venti ice caramel white chocolate mocha with oat milk that my mom payed for and she used my correct pronouns for the first time today! So other than chipotle thing I’m on some Scorpio shit!
5:39 is an entire mood
Thank you for putting their pronouns in the corner it helps me understand more
I love these links!!
