Usually I hang back from things like these because of anxiety. It’s the reason I didn’t upload an actual picture of myself. I feel like at this point in time, a little bit of social anxiety is nothing when faced with the enormity of the situations marginalized Americans like myself have found ourselves in. I’m transgender, gay, and disabled. I exist, and my rights matter. The rights of women, people of color, and queer people matter. If this is what I can do, then I’m going to do it.
PS. the attached art is by me. It’s a fairy wren, my namesake.
