"Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

I use the word “Love" here not merely in the personal sense, but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy, but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth."

On this day, April 9th, I would like to take a moment to spread awareness about protecting trans rights, trans adults & trans kids, and letting you know you are seen, and you are loved!

The world is a scary place for anyone who doesn’t follow cultural norms.

To anyone that would spread hate and discrimination I only hope that you can see the time for it being “ok to discriminate” is ENDING, and it’s time to re-evaluate that it’s not your place to tell someone how to live their life, and stop trying to strip people of dignity and self-love.

We ALL deserve to feel loved, we ALL deserve to feel safe, and we ALL deserve the right to be ourselves.

I support ALL counterculture, the practice of embracing creative growth, and harmony for us ALL.

Much Love & Blessings,
