I do pretty much everything at my own slow pace, but trust me, my brain moves fast. I’m a trans woman who might take a minute to answer, mostly because I’ve already thought of five different things to say. #trans#transgender
I’ve learned that walking away is sometimes better than arguing for basic respect. I’m a trans woman with a strong sense of self, and I don’t let people talk down to me. I’m kind, but I know where to draw the line. #trans#transgender
Being trans is just one part of who I am. I’m naturally upbeat, laugh at the smallest things, and try not to let a bad day ruin the whole week. There’s usually something good to look forward to. #trans#transgender
Trans people don’t need everyone to totally get it. Just listen, be respectful, and treat us like regular people. It really is that simple. #trans#transgender
As a transgender, I’ve noticed some people get curious about the label before they get to know the person. I don’t expect anyone to understand everything right away. Just be respectful, ask instead of assuming. #trans#transgender
One of the nicest things about having trans friends is hearing “oh, same” halfway through explaining something that usually takes forever. #trans#transgender
Being curious about transgender people is understandable. Just be respectful and take time to get to know someone. Thank you to everyone who treats trans people with kindness and respect. #trans#transgender
Outgoing, trans, a little stubborn. Love swimming. An early riser, even on weekends. Likes affection and being able to talk things out. #trans#transgender
A trans woman mentions she’s tired, and somehow the conversation turns into questions about being trans. Maybe she just worked a long shift and missed lunch. Sometimes “Want something to eat?” is the better response. #trans#transgender
A trans woman can love getting dressed up and still spend most Saturdays in an old T-shirt. She doesn’t owe anyone a polished version of herself every time she leaves the house. #trans#transgender
For some trans woman, happiness is getting on with an ordinary day. Buying groceries, meeting a friend, wondering what to make for dinner. Just feeling like herself without having to think so hard about it. #trans#transgender
A trans woman might brush off a strange comment at dinner because she’s having a good night and doesn’t want to spend it explaining herself. Then she gets home and thinks of everything she wishes she’d said. Sometimes what she wants most is a friend who noticed too. #trans
A trans woman turns down someone, and suddenly she’s being too picky. She can appreciate someone’s interest and still not feel a connection. Being liked doesn’t mean she owes anyone a chance. #trans#transgender
A trans woman says she likes someone, and suddenly everyone has questions about whether they’re okay with her being trans. Sometimes she just wants to talk about how funny they are and how well they get along. #trans#transgender
