I've been nominated for a People's Choice Award?!

I have gone through a lot of feelings on this:

To be nominated for my courage in going about my life feels at once unfair, knowing the courage that all trans people muster up everyday, while also feeling honoured to have this struggle for power recognised.

To be in a short list of 5 q***r people, of all the qu**rs doing courageous things everyday feels at once daunting, confronting, and wrong.

As a genderq***r woman, my imposter syndrome is rather activated. And I remind myself to reframe Imposter Syndrome as Patriarchy Imposed Subjugation (or P*S for short!).

As a Neurodivergent woman; being spotlighted like this is slightly enthralling, and mostly terrifying.

And here I am promoting this nomination, and encouraging you to vote for me?!

And truth be told, I would love for you to vote in these awards (I love how Euphoria Social have constructed the nominations, and if you know me a little, I'm guessing you can guess which one I am!).

I would love you to vote for me; not because I think I'm better than my fellow nominees, but because I would love rural and regional trans people to see that we can have a future, we can live into our 30s, we can do good things in the world, and we can be recognised by our peers as doing good, courageous things in the world.

So consider this post a little bit more courage from me: the personal courage to accept, and promote my nomination for this award.
