trans day of visibility is so interesting to me, because it's meant to highlight the struggles of trans people and celebrate their victories, right. I feel like I've had a much more privileged and struggle-free experience after coming out as trans compared to most of my peers. I've often thought that my experiences as an immigrant are much more traumatizing to me than my experiences as a trans person. but that's not to minimize the struggles that come with being trans - I'm here, in this extremely privileged and lucky position, because of the struggles of the people that came before me and the support of the people around me. I've found happiness within myself, and community in a faraway land, thanks to my transness. so, hey, thank you to every fellow trans person around me, for making life worth living. you rock extremely hard and I owe so, so much to you personally if you know me irl, I will buy you a slice of pizza if you ask. we'll figure out then when and how, DM me
