Love for the trans community is possible, and if we want to, we can find safety in cis-het partners who will celebrate, love, and support us.

If I hadn’t had my Mom, my therapist, or my support systems, my sadness might not have ever ended.

Pride means that you can own who you are, all of you, and live your truth out loud. Proud of who you are, where you are now, where you’ve been, and where you hope to go. Proud of your body, however you were born into it. Proud of who you love, what you identify as, and how you live your life. I chose to leave my dream-stealth life behind because I knew the world needed people to help them see and treat trans people differently. That’s why I can feel comfortable saying I know what true pride is.
