Klappentext zu „Take Your Own Advice “
"For those who are givers, carers, and empaths, a guide to focusing that energy on yourself-even if that feels frightening, from popular LGBTQ+ activist and advocate Jeffrey Marsh. Like many of us, Jeffrey Marsh was conditioned to have an outward focus-to give to others, to be a good listener, and to be the one who gave the best advice. In Marsh's case, it was a method of survival. Growing up genderfluid in an unaccepting family, Marsh did everything they could to meet the needs of others and not have needs of their own. And ultimately, this meant Marsh put themself in the backseat of their own life. In this heartfelt and sincere book, Marsh shares their story and the lessons they learned on the path back to themselves. Whether you're a survivor of abuse and trauma like Marsh or you've passively accepted that your worth ought to be defined by your usefulness to others, Take Your Own Advice will give you the confidence to lead your life on your terms, and to prioritize what's important: you. It's time that you learn to put yourself first, to take care of yourself, and to ask others to listen to you for a change. You do give the best advice, after all!"--

The tweet was simple but surprising. It said, "I just saw @thejeffreymarsh on Fox News. The context [of the Fox News segment] was supposed to be 'liberals are so weird!' but it was honestly refreshing to see such a friendly face. . . ."I was on my way home from the grocery store, and I had my reusable tote in my left hand, phone in my right, walking down the sidewalk and scrolling through Twitter. It was a sunny California day, and I felt free and easy. Then I saw the tweet, and I thought, Oh no, my poor inbox.
One of my TikToks had been featured on Fox News a few months before. I got hate emails then. My video had played at around four o'clock Eastern time, and I don't know if that show was popular, so the hate messages had come and gone without a deluge. People who had seen Fox News reacted to the video, but it was nothing compared to what I assumed was about to happen.
From the tweet's timing, I knew that I had been in the A block on Tucker Carlson Tonight. On cable news, each show has four or five blocks. Block refers to the segments between commercials. The A block is first, D or E is last. And in general, they go in order of importance. If it bleeds, it leads, as they say. So, you put your most important, "sticky" material first. Producers of cable news put the most engaging material in the A block. That was me, I guess.
A Fox News producer had decided that one of my TikToks was exciting. As a result, my TikTok played on Fox News during one of the most-watched moments of the week. Tucker Carlson's show, A block. At the very least, it was a viral time to be on TV, or should I call it "hate TV"? My inbox reflected the prime-time placement. Here's an example of an angry email I got; it's a direct quote: "STOP TARGETING YOUR F*CKING VIDEOS TOO KIDS LET KIDS BE KIDS YOU F*CKING F*GGOT."
Death threats filled my inbox over the next few days, and people on TikTok stitched my TikTok with their hate. A stitch occurs when a TikTok user takes an original

TikTok and puts their video next to it-they can watch the original video and comment simultaneously. They then post their commentary on my video to their account. For example, a woman had made a video that got over 300,000 likes where she was watching my TikTok, sitting still, and simply loading a gun.
She was watching my TikTok, sitting still, and simply loading a gun.
And like the TikTokers, Fox News viewers had reactions to my work! A reporter from Rolling Stone reached out to me and asked if she could interview me. I had posted some of the hate I was getting. And I had written about how that hate ballooned out of control. The reporter thought this was an essential milestone in the historic ways society demonizes LGBTQ people. And she also wanted to write about the general way that far-right extremists demonize people on the left.
My original TikTok was for kids. Here's a direct transcript:
"Hey, kids! It's possible to be like me and be happy. In fact, it's great to be like me and be happy. It's okay to like dresses, to like sparkly things. It's okay to be a little different than what people want you to be-than what people expect you to be. And (I'm old) and I grew up without any examples of people like me. And so I really, really wanted to tell you it's possible to be like me and then grow up and be happy. It's possible to be like me and grow up and be surrounded by wonderful friends, to be really, really fulfilled in your life, to have a good, long, happy life, and to . . . yeah, be joyful."
To me, telling kids that they should be themselves and that they have the right to be happy doesn't seem like a controversial message. But Fox News, now for the second time, thought my statement was controversial enough to feature my TikTok on air. So, my delightful and sexy and kind husband, Jeff, and I had to have a deep discussion. I remember going to him, a little afraid of what he might say, and he ended up tell
