If you are trans, visibility is not a responsibility. If you need to be stealth or closeted because you can't handle being visible, that's okay.

For those of you brave or safe enough to be visible: remind the world that we exist.

Because we do exist.

We have a right to live our lives the way we want to, regardless of what this generation's expectations of us may be. We have been around longer than this society, and will still exist after it has crumbled into dust. Which society? All of them.

We are not a fad. We are not a mental illness. We are not trying to corrupt children. We are trying to exist as ourselves.

They can try to erase us, but we are written in ink and will never fade.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, everyone. You will be okay.

And remember, in the whole world, there is only of you, and you are beautiful just the way you are. So please, take care of yourself, friend.
