Transfemme Visibility

I continue to be both transgender and fully visible. Last year’s post was a big deal, but tbh this is just my life now. Transitioning was the right thing to do, and the fact is I love being trans. The problems we face stem from how cis people treat us, not the fact that we’re trans - and you can be part of fixing that, cis friends. One day to be aware of trans people isn’t enough - we exist year-round, and the time for equivocation on our rights is long over. There are cis people in my life who prove, every single day, that they support trans people - if you’re cis, be one of them. There are trans people in my life who fight, every single day, to make our world a safer place for their fellow trans people - if you’re trans, be one of them. We can not simply say “trans rights” - we must all be part of defending and enforcing those rights, every godsdamn day.

Finally, a proper snowstorm
