Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!
Happy day to you!
I wore my new T-shirt celebrating transgender students while I worked on my computer in Hillcrest. I felt like I should be out and proud, and I was, but since the Hillcrest LGBT Center isn't having its celebration until April, and since I don't regularly see clients on Friday as it is one of my two days off, I felt strangely alone in my celebration. On Social Media, there was much talk about the day, but in real life, I didn't see anyone else sporting supportive shirts or waving flags.
I wanted to send a shout out to all of you celebrating this special day. It's hard to be out as trans these days and yet, I know that many of you are out there anyways, living your life. I honor you as you journey through your life.
In solidarity,
