[AnthonyPadilla]

come back next week for *I spent a day with CDAWGVA*

[pettymillennialsoup]

Oh shit. I went to college with Dorian. And watched Anthony since college. Never thought I'd see those two worlds colliding.

[ecowo]

I feel like more genderfluid people should be interviewed, not necessarily in this channel but in general, because the gender fluid experience can be so different

[flynnjf]

dorian's style and the mustache were a huge inspiration that helped me keep my love for makeup through my transition- the flamboyant album cover totally changed how i thought about self-expression through makeup. love them as an artist sm

[orionzspark]

I never thought I'd see Dorian and Anthony in a video together but I'm here for it!

[lexidarling]

Anthony having Dorian on is the crossover I never expected but needed nonetheless.

[thickums]

Wild to see Dorian on here. We went to college together and they were so kind and a great energy to be around. Happy for you Dorian!!! Keep breaking the binary <3

[WishGender]

am not gender-fluid but I love hearing different perspectives, especially on experiences I’m not familiar with

[monytontana]

What she said about "shedding society's conditioning & listen to the internal monologue" resonates with me so much. Brendan gives me much hope for my own future as a transfem with a boy's name ❤

[mabblepabble]

brendan is so inspirational tbh. as someone who’s agender and is constantly stressed about how they present/how others will respond/etc etc, seeing someone who’s so *comfortable* just *being* is great. like i need to let go of expectations, and just enjoy being in the moment and being me.

[k._mx.anthrope]

we love seeing Dorian Electra helping small YouTube channels like Anthony Padilla become famous

[JoTheAnomaly]

“Born male but dying a woman” is an incredible quote.

[faithBrewarded]

Brendan talking about how she felt like something was lacking when she dated gay men made that piece in my mind click. Maybe I resented my past relationships because I felt like I was expected to be the girl in a heterosexual relationship, when in reality there's a part of me that didn't feel involved/felt rejected at the time.

[wolfsign]

dorian was my genderfluid awakening. i cried listening to their songs and spent like a week in such gender confusion lol. so awesome to see them here now

[drunkenprayer]

I'm not gender fluid but a lot of the discussion in this did feel very real.

I definitely identify as a straight white man, but I have worn feminine clothing in the past and enjoyed it and not felt like there was anything wrong with it. Obviously cannot 100% relate to the experiences of these people, but share a bit of the same feeling that there's nothing wrong with expressing that it's okay to be yourself.

It's difficult to express without feeling like just because I like wearing non masculine clothes sometimes that I have the same experiences as these people who actually have to live as themselves 24/7 and don't have an explicit gender. I guess the simplest way to express it as just some solidarity with being someone who doesn't feel like anyone should be pushed into a corner.

Maybe a little of it comes from being into rock/metal/goth music and how open that community is to accepting everyone expressing and experimenting with fashion and sexuality/gender without saying "Oh hey you are this or that."

[Nick-ypuf]

Do they turn gender solid if they get below 0 Celsius

[RudolphRobot]

Dorian helped me so much to express myself without the constrictions of Gender, like the way of almost mocking Gender Stereotypes and creating something completely different in the meantime. I love them so

[Faithwashere]

I love how nice Anthony is with all his guests on his show ❤

[phosphenevision]

it's weird to see dorian being genuine for this long without a heavy layer of irony or sarcasm 💀

[kaelobRs]

Dorian is everything. People forget their refinery29 classics like "our musical ode to the clitoris" and "the history of vibrators" which were HUGE bops lol.
