Trans Day of Visibility is a day to be celebrated. Many thanks to @CCGSD_CCDGS for suggesting the hashtag #TransJoyIsPowerful as I am truly filled with joy and love when I reflect on the trans people that are friends, family, colleagues, neighbours…
It's Trans Day of Visibility!🏳️⚧️
Let’s showcase that trans joy is powerful.✨
We invite everyone to share quotes, art, and work created by trans people and invite all of our trans friends to share what brings them joy by using the hashtag #TransJoyIsPowerful (1/2)
…because we all benefit from living in a world where people can just be.
Be who they are. Be who they want to be. Be the them that they can be. Just be. Our world is richer, more colourful, more caring, and more fun when we acknowledge and uphold all of our humanity…..

I got an email congratulating me for getting elected but asking me to “dress up” for city meetings as my clothes are “lacking credibility”. Give me the strength to model for my daughter that leadership is having the courage of your convictions and the work ethic of a champion.
