YOU have rights! And YOU have rights! EVERYONE has end of life rights!

Hello Deathlings, 

Welcome to the video that many of you have been asking for for years. I'm so happy that we are finally bringing you a video focused on transgender rights at the end of life and after death. 

Everyone on the Order team and Team Death Video PLUS the team at Cake has been working on this video for months. Our goal was to do the confusing work, so you don't have to. 

I hope we've succeeded! 

We're really proud of the video (please share with your friends and loved ones!) but really it's a jumping off point. Start with the video, then go to the Order x Cake page and start working on your Advance Directive! Or go to the Order's resource page and learn more about what will be asked of your trusted people as well as the documents you'll need. 

Living wills and Health Care Proxies are big things to think about – for everybody, but especially trans and non-binary people – and our goal was to create resources for you that are not complicated and are not intimidating. 

LIFE is complicated enough in these BONKERS times, let's try to make death as simple possible, hmm?

And if you're like me and organization is your love language, getting your end of life plans in order will be SATISFYING. 

This is the first of two videos we have for you this month. The next one sent me out on location again -- more thrilling footage of A Very Cold Caitlin. 

So go forth deathlings! Live your life! Plan for your death! And KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

Caitlin 

*A quick, but important clarification: If you clicked on this post from your email, the subject probably read, "Caitlin Doughty's new patron-only video". This is not a patron-only video; this is a video that was released to the public. When we release patron-only videos we will explicitly state in the video info and in the video post that it is a "Patron Exclusive" video. Patreon recently changed the way Patrons-only video posts (i.e. these nifty messages that are delivered to your inbox) are released via email – automatically adding that "patron-only video" line to the subject, even if that's not the case. But that's not how we (and a lot of other creators) do things. So, sorry for the confusion! I hope this cleared things up! We're working on fixing this with Patreon.
