"Hi, this is Cocona. 🐉 Today, I turned 20.☺︎ As I reach this new chapter in my life, I want to share something that’s been in my heart for a long time. I am AFAB transmasculine non-binary. Earlier this year, I had top surgery. I was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true to who I am. The hardest thing I’ve ever faced was accepting and embracing myself. But as I slowly began to do that, I was able to open a new door. That moment changed the way I see and understand the world, and it gave me the courage and strength to grow. Now, I can finally say, “There’s nothing wrong with who I am inside.” I was only able to come this far because of the people who listened and stood by me — my members, Simon-san, and my parents. 🫶 I’m truly grateful for this path, and for every miracle that brought us together. This message turned out a bit long, but I just want to say thank you — for walking beside me and for supporting me all this way. I’m so excited for the future we’ll continue to create together with XG and XGALX. 🌏🌎🌍👽♾️ May these words gently light a spark in someone’s heart. And to everyone who needs it — may my love reach all of them. With love, always. 🤍 PHOTO BY JURIN MAKEUP BY CHISA"
