On trans day of visibility, I want to make it clear that my trans identity isn’t where I’m dropping anchor. Transitioning granted me the intimacy with my body that only exists in solitary instances. It lifted the tension between body and spirit, and allowed me to see the other areas of myself with clarity. Beyond my transness, I’m still figuring out who I am as an artist, friend, lover, daughter, and sister. Trans people want to share these journeys with you, but we can’t do that unless you spend some time with us. Don’t just view us for the sake of our trans status, interact with us. Love us, support our work, and grant us the freedom of making mistakes and starting all over.
