Your experience is important no matter what it is and you are always valid!

Even though it's no longer pride month (in the US), I wanted to share an interview with Dr. Ronnie Gladden that was recorded then! Yes, I am in fact back on my Dr. Gladden podium.

For those who don't know, Dr. Ronnie Gladden (they/them) is a queer and transracial (in a trace way) public speaker and activist, one of the few transrace activists out there right now! They've written a book on their intersecting identities of being transgender and transracial, coining the term "transgracial" to better discuss their inner identity struggles with feeling as if they should be a white woman. Their book White Girl Within is about navigating those feelings.

This interviewer, Sheree Curry, is a black Jewish freelance journalist; she is a former Fortune reporter and Wall Street Journal correspondent. Though her YouTube channel is small, it's still really awesome to see some people taking trace identity seriously enough to sit down and listen to our experiences.

I 100% need more homestuck rdq mutuals / friends !!

Please oomf me up I’m desperate :((

if yur transabled but yu don't want the full disability becus yu don't feel comfortable with it or don't think yu could handle it, yur valid and still transabled.

if yur transabled and yu don't have the proper support systems to protect yu if/when yu transition so yur unwilling to, yur valid and still transabled

if yur transabled but don't want to transition becus yu already have multiple cisdisabilities, yur valid and still transabled

if yur transabled and yur not ready (mentally or physically) to transition, yur valid and still transabled

i think transamputees should be allowed to complain about phantom pain or how hard it is to get around places and do things without getting "i told yu so" as a response

transwheelchairusers should get to talk about how hard it is to find accessible places without being told "well this is what yu wanted"

transdepression individuals should talk about how hard it is to live with depression and get sympathy, not be brushed off

just becus we want these disabilities doesn't mean it'll always be sunshine and rainbows. not everyone will experience euphoria from struggling. even the things we love have downsides to them. the dream job yu finally got will have shitty coworkers or shitty experiences. yur favorite hobby might injure yu (both minor and major depending on the hobby)
