For any trans people who need to hear this:
Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.
Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.
When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.
Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.
Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance, where we remember all the trans people we've lost to violence and oppression - in particular Black trans women and trans women of colour. It's a solemn occasion and an opportunity to mourn the dead - but also, to remind ourselves to fight like hell for the living.
