So, long story short, /u/laurelai was /is an extremely online trans MtF who was also a powermod back in the day (idk if xe's still active in reddit). Better historians than me have archived her several deeds so I'll not rehash those. In case you're unaware, here's some quick links on Laurelai

===================================

Anyway, coming back to the agenda of this particular post, about 9 years ago, Laurelai, after getting xer first ban on Reddit (on SRS of all places,

her turboautism was too much even for SRS) made a melodramatic post about how she's totes depressed on a trans site called transadvocate. The article is aptly titled: "Sometimes it doesn't get better":

Sometimes it doesn’t get better, sometimes life shit on you until you break and there’s nothing you can do. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it gets better because it might not get better, but i do want to tell you one thing.

Even if it never gets better you are worthy. You are worthy of love and respect and compassion and a fair chance and human dignity, your value as a human being is not taken from you ever. Not ever. No matter what life does to you, no matter how broken you are, no matter what mental illness you have, no matter what job you do, even if you have no job.

Honestly the whole thing could be a good snappy quote and I implore you to read it in its entirety.

Since laurelai was already a notorious personality by this point, /r/drama got hold of this post

It was just yet another run-of-the-mill /r/drama post when suddenly laurelai showed up to defend herself by posting proof that her long hair is natural and not a wig and that she has been taking estradiol religiously so her tro0nsformation is complete.

But look closely, and you see a YouTube link at the very end. It's supposedly a 10 minute monologue on what laurelai thought of a filthy fascist infested place called /r/drama and why they were bullying and being a meanie to xer

Xe deleted the video and I can't find it anywhere on archive.org, archive.ph or ghostarchive
