Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
FtM here, transitioning as an older person. You young people on here, I'm so proud of you. Jealous, too, but mostly proud.
You're growing up in a frightening time where the loudest people in the room seem to be the ones that want to hurt you the most. I need you all to know that they're speaking so loudly because they're too afraid to hear anyone else.
Things aren't how they used to be and that is wonderful. There are more resources and communities than ever before. There is measurable progress being made even when it seems like things are backsliding. We're still fighting. Us older folk have a responsibility to do that, y'know.
Take care of yourselves today. Drink some water, go outside. I bought myself flowers. I'm going to a rally tonight. Light a candle for your siblings who can't be out yet. Light some incense for the siblings who didn't make it. Promise yourself another year, for you are so loved.
