Last week, I had the remarkable honor of attending 's Freedom To Be Ourselves rally at the United States Supreme Court to stand in solidarity with trans & nonbinary youth. The landmark case of US vs. Skrmetti, where the 1st ever transgender lawyer, , to argue before the Supreme Court in favor of gender-affirming care for trans youth was truly an event to be witnessed. Being in proximity to so many trans folks (young & adult) alongside our allies & co-conspirators brought me tremendous pride. Listening to the words of resilient trans youth like Mila & Daniel warmed my heart. Hearing the rallying cries of the rally's co-organizers, & , filled me with hope that we will weather the storm that's to come.

I wore my t-shirt, designed by my sis , because I wanted to carry the image of my transcestors with me on that momentous occasion. Sylvia & Marsha put themselves on the front lines for trans & q***r liberation. It was, in part, because of trans trailblazers like them & that we have the rights we carry today. With this incoming trump dictatorship, we are at risk of losing those very same rights that many have fought & died for. But like our transcestors, we will rise up against our oppressors to demand that which is so rightfully ours. We will fight these bigots tooth & nail to ensure that our trans youth are uplifted, supported & loved on. This world can so often be cruel to trans & nonbinary folks, but when we align ourselves with each other, there's nothing we can't accomplish.

I'm so grateful to my siblings, LaLa & Samy, & the incomparable Chase Strangio for their tireless work towards community. Being in that crowd made me so proud to be trans. I love our community ✊🏽🩷🤍🩵🏳️‍⚧️
