We here at Up with Trans wish you the very best holiday season. Over the past year we’ve seen struggles and triumphs alike, experienced great happiness and crushing sadness and rage, and perhaps this year isn’t the best year for some of you, or perhaps no year has been particularly great. Regardless, no matter where you are, just know you are beautiful. Know that you deserve happiness and love. That yours is a creation, an evolution, an existence of beauty. If you feel like nobody cares, please know that we do. Know that somewhere out there, in this weird world of ours, is a soul like yours, or perhaps unlike yours, but regardless, a soul who loves you for who you are, who would never wish for you to be anything but. Perhaps they’re close friends, or perhaps they’re faceless entities over a blogging website.
