Philosophytube is excellent and for anyone who doesn’t know that quote is a reference to a more famous quote by youtuber contrapoints: “I look inside myself and ask, do I feel like a man, or a woman, and the answer is that I feel like shit.” And I love this inversion because both approach philosophy wildly differently.
Contra is someone who needs to know more, and to pursue truth even when it is self destructive. Her transition wasn’t the turning point towards happiness (though her accepting she’s a lesbian and an addict may have been), but it was an act of deep personal honesty.
Philosophytube routinely approaches topics as tools to improve your understanding and life, and if Kant can’t improve your life that’s ok, you don’t need to deal with his ideas if they don’t, but aren’t they still interesting and a good foundation to other ideas… Her transition was clearly both a turning point and a culmination of a progression towards happiness, and you can see it in her face in her videos.
I like that duality because I’ve met people like both of them and in both cases the end result is an increase in both happiness and truth.
I wish you too all the healing you can find. Mental health is hard and healing can be long and slow, but practicing healing does pay off
