Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility. #ITDOV #TDOV
.
Understanding ourselves takes time, everyone’s journey looks different, and that’s ok! Sometimes blossoming our authentic selves is an incremental process that may not give us clarity until we’re in our 30s or 40s, like me. And that’s ok too!
.
I am blessed to be here another day. Grateful to my loved ones and community for making me feel seen/held/heard, for affirming my own right to healing, joy, respect to my dignity, to be loved. I am a real person. In this post are pics of some meaningful times in my life that capture what I’m sitting with today.
.
To trans community of all ages: Please know that what many of us in the public eye post is just a post. It cannot possibly encapsulate all of who we are or what each of our lives are about. Queer and trans people are not a monolith. You be you. Stay true to who you are and who you are evolving into. There are many people fighting for our present and future, many ancestors and transcestors who paved the way so we could show up. We need you. I need you. I love you.

@blacktransliberation , @qween_jean , @therealgialove, @tahtianna_fermin_ , @trudy0nduty and me with community at the March for Gaza in Washington D.C. 🇵🇸
Me, @trudy0nduty and Mio on a charter bus, organized by @blacktransliberation , flashing peace signs, on our way to Washington D.C. to protest the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. We are against Islamophobia. We are against anti-semitism. We are against genocide. We refuse to stay silent. The U.S. government is complicit in this horrific situation and we felt it necessary to participate in todays action.
PT 7
January 13, 2023.
100 consecutive days of genocide against Palestinians. Israel and the United States governments are complicit in genocide and Israel is currently being tried by the International Criminal Court for genocide.
@blacktransliberation and @queersforaliberatedpalestine , among many other organizations and communities, showed up in Washington D.C. to protest what is happening to the innocent people of Gaza. Netanyahu and Biden are complicit in this horrific crime and we cannot stay silent. Silence = violence. This is a horrific situation that has existed long before the horrific events that unfolded on Oct. 7th, 2023. We may not see a solution in our lifetimes but we are bearing witness and refuse to look away. We are here for all oppressed peoples, from marginalized communities in the U.S. to Congo to Sudan to Puerto Rico to Haiti to Hawaii and beyond.
Thank you Dr and Professor @brothercornelwest for speaking truth to power yesterday in DC. Thank you for acknowledging the rainbow of voices within our humanity. Thank you for reminding us we are not alone. Thank you for bringing so much love and strength to the day so we could march side by side, knowing we are on the right side of history. This is for our beloved Muslim, Jewish, Palestinian, Gazan community. We condemn anti-semitism. We condemn Islamophobia. We condemn genocide. We cannot have safety for one, without safety and protection for all. This is a human issue. This is a matter of COURAGE. You said it best. Thank you. Thank you. This is the seventh of 7 reels I will post.

2023 has been full of love, pain, joy and so much more. It opened up my awareness further, reawakened my desire and commitment to experience pleasure in my art, strengthened existing relationships while exposing those that I must quietly let go, reminded me of what really truly matters, and fortified my investment in telling the truth. I saw things in 2023 that I cannot unsee. I was loved (and continue to be loved) in my monogamous romantic partnership more than I’ve ever felt loved in my entire life. I was let go from spaces that are not worthy of me, and invited into spaces that are. I met new community while mourning those we lost. My moral clarity is evolving and I can’t help but wonder who else and what else I will attract in 2024. Thank you to all whose paths I crossed with. Thank you to healed ancestors and transcestors whose energies and protection I feel now more than ever before. Thank you to spirit and Love for watching over us all. Things may look/sound/feel very different moving forward. Change is my greatest ally. I wish us healing and peace.

Here’s to a Healing New Year, from this earthling to you. ❤️🩹✌🏽♥️
