Happy Third Annual Mira Bellwether Buy a Trans Woman a Pizza Day!

If I had a dime for every time a cis person has accused me of shoving my transness down their throat, I might have been a volunteer instead of an employee for a nonprofit asking for donations for #LGBTQ+ civil rights a couple of years ago.

When all the controversies about #transgender women using public bathrooms began several years ago, I knew #cisgender women would also get targeted.

I’ve always thought visibility was a strange thing — powerful but fragile and fleeting. Growing up, I learned early that history was most often a carefully curated narrative, one written by whoever happened to be holding the pen at the moment.

There’s a psychological weight to being seen that rarely makes it into the celebratory Instagram posts and corporate rainbow logos. I’ve experienced firsthand what I’ll refer to as the “visibility paradox.”

Flashing some color on my nails for International #Transgender Day of Visibility.

Every right we have, every legal protection, every concession we’ve won — all of them required sacrifice. The more we are out as trans and the more we share our stories, the more people will realize that we are just people, not bogey monsters.

#LGBTQ #Transgender #Visibility#HumanRights

I’m appalled by the lawless, corrupt, bigoted, cruel, and incompetent #Trump/#Musk administration, so I’ll be attending the #HandsOff protest in #Albany, NY, on Saturday, April 5th. I hope you’ll join me there or at another of the 750 events planned around the country. #USPol #April5 #Visibility

FFER !!--!! Friendly Fedi Etiquette Reminder

When you are self-replying (i.e. creating a long thread) it is courteous to set the visibility of all self-replies to "Quiet Public"

Otherwise you will fill the local and federated timelines with individual posts that appear in reverse order. They won't make sense to anyone, due to lack of context, and will usually be split up by other posts on the timeline anyway.

So add an indicator to the top-level post that you're creating a thread (like the emoji or a [1/?] sequence counter) then kindly switch to "Quiet Public" visibility.

Thanks!

Perhaps it was simply something in the air between us — not an attraction, but an aura. I wondered if she thought the same about me, and then I worried that my vibe didn’t scream “bi” at all.

Happy #Transmasc #Pride and #Visibility Day to my transmasc siblings!

We survived. We endured. And yet, many of us stayed silent. Some never came out at all. Others, like me, saw society’s unspoken judgment and chose to retreat — to the basements of our collective minds, where it felt safer.

No, a museum hasn’t called Lego ‘anti-LGBTQ+’, it’s yet more right-wing hysteria
