The original inspiration was the idea that people tried cramming me into a box labeled “Man” and I hated it. That wasn't me. I didn't want to be treated that way. Now that I'm out as trans, living life as a woman, I'm so much happier. I'm happy to be crammed into a box labeled “Woman,” even though that's still a close-minded way of thinking.

Thank you for reading. Remember, we are stronger together. And we'll get through this. Together.
