It is revolutionary for any trans person to
choose to be seen and visible in a world
that tells us we should not exist.

(Tran)sitioning

Just the “few” things I have to think about:
- Navigating Bathrooms
- Filling out any forms & making accounts
- Going to a new place (bar, restaurant, venue)
- Health insurance
- Security (airports, concerts, bars)
- How To Tell People
- If I “pass”
- Gender pronouns

Tips to be a better trans & queer ally

Do use the right pronouns and name

Do set the standard

Do include us

Do something

Do love

We do exist.

We do exist.
Move fast, fix things
(while still being a mindful human)
