🏳️‍⚧️ Today is trans day of visibility!

All of us are put in boxes— by our family, by our religion, by our society, our moment in history, even our own bodies. Some people have the courage to break free. - Geena Rocero

🏳️‍⚧️ I see you
🏳️‍⚧️ I love you
🏳️‍⚧️ I am you
🏳️‍⚧️ We exist & always have

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.

We’re going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we’re doing, you can say, We’re remembering. That’s where we’ll win out in the long run.

I caved to peer pressure. 😂 But hey, we need a little joy and laughter right now. This is me (soy yo!). My vibe is chaos incarnate mixed with love and rage. 😉♥️ Do we have anything in common?

"Are you a communist?"

Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the opressor. - Ginetta Sagan

We don't need
your recognition...
To exist

We don't need
your approval...
To thrive

We don't need
your permission...
To resist

We don't need
your belief...
To survive

We are queer and
we will continue to...
Exist
Thrive
Resist
Survive
