It is my first Trans Day of Visibility out in real life.
Won't lie: it's been hard. I knew that I'd get some pushback, and that I wouldn't know from where, or from who. I knew that it'd be a long fraught road.
But I'm out now. No going back. People will love the real me, or not at all.
The road is hard, and I will need help. For the longest time, I thought I wasn't strong enough to make the journey.
But now I see: the journey itself, makes you strong.
