today is trans day of visibility.
it feels strange this year. as a trans masc non-binary person, visibility isn’t always safe. with everything happening— non-binary people banned from the us, trans people used as political weapons, debated instead of supported—it’s exhausting.
but that’s why today matters. because we are still here. we exist beyond the headlines, beyond the fearmongering. in joy, in struggle, in love. in every space we carve out for ourselves, despite it all.
to my fellow trans people: i see you. i stand with you. you deserve more than just visibility—you deserve safety, rights, and a world that lets you thrive.

It’s crazy how much dysphoria impacted my life.
I’ve disliked summer for the last decade (maybe more). But now that I’ve fully recovered from top surgery (a year ago!!!! wowee) I’m falling back in love with spring/summer.
Suddenly childhood memories of summer and being outside have been popping up, now that I’m feeling more at home in my body, with my baby flat chest. It makes we wanna be (and play and move) outside in warmer temps again. And I’m so fucking grateful. Do whatever you need to do, to feel at home in ur body babes, it’s worth it. Eat sh*t transphobes!
This (short) trip was everything that I needed. And it was so needed. Not me getting emosh on the gram lol 🥲
