i have a very complicated relationship with trans day of visibility being weaponized against me at a time where i was really becoming more comfortable with my true self, but idk i wanna take ownership of it back.
nobody can take being u away from u
being proud to be myself or even just putting myself in public has been a battle of internal attrition regardless of how i presented or how "out" i was. ig the takeaway i got from deciding to live was that there will always be people who love you even if you can never see it.
taking selfies (not to mention positing them!!) is still rly hard. sometimes i let the voices of people telling me to hide win. im just thankful for the people who convinced me i should be visible and that my life is worth living.
be ur tru self and if they wont let u, fuck em!!
