I remember when I started questioning my gender identity, then at the realization I am trans and even after the first couple of years of hormone therapy; #TransDayOfVisibility came and went and I still wasn't presenting anywhere as a woman. I was afraid, fearful and even after a couple of years of medical transition felt I was in an awkward physical stage of transition that I just couldn't bring myself to show myself to the world.

But I so desperately wanted people to see me. I wanted to be visible with other trans people on this day.

There are lot of our trans siblings who don't feel safe being visible for whatever reason, especially now. You want to show yourself but for whatever reason feel you can't. I've been there. We've all been there.

But WE see you. Your trans sisters, trans brothers and enby siblings SEE you.

And those who *can* be visible...
will be for all of us.
We will not be erased.
