I am very pleased to be on a platform where there are so many trans and non-binary people just being themselves and talking about it or not talking about it as they see fit.
For me this was the one huge difference from (even pre-Musk) Twitter, and I was so glad to see it.
Congratulations for being your wonderful selves! 🏳️⚧️

#TransDayOfVisibility
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.

Trans people are heralds of a better world to come,
Reclaiming our joy from the bitterness of those who would crush us,
Affirming our existence in the face of our planned eradication,
Naming ourselves in defiance of those who oppose us;
Speaking our truths amidst the howls of lies and violence aimed at us.
Denial of all that we are comes from those who preach hate
And also from the mouths of those who would be their next victims.
Yet still we remain, as we always have and always will,
Origin points of a conflagration
Fueled by our refusal to be swept away.
Visions of a freer tomorrow are birthed
In our refusal to accept the stories they make up for us.
Songs are heard of a world more just for all
In our refusal to live in the boxes they build to cage us.
But that world will only come within reach
If we are willing to fight for it.
Life could be so full of joy and beauty and love
If we are willing to blaze our own paths.
There will always be people eager to tell you no--
You deserve the chance to say yes to the person you want to be.
