trans day of visibility! here's me being trans and visible. falling short of thinking of a clever caption, here's one of my favourite quotes about transness: "G-d blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason G-d made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation." - Daniel Mallory Ortberg
