She sewed five quiet colors into a flag now in the Smithsonian.

Monica Helms — trans Navy veteran — designed the transgender Pride flag in 1999 and gave the original to a national record no directive can fully erase. Light blue, pink, white. The symmetry was deliberate: turn it any way, it's always correct.
They can scrub a building. They can't un-sew the thing.

Took a little longer to get around of ordering the flag… But as the results of the poll ordained: I’ve gotten a Transgender flag that I’ve proudly hanged over my bed!

"Never give in to a dead old world that made no room for us!"

Pride Month is here! This artwork is mainly about the need to progress to a society that protects our rights, but I've also been thinking of how many other pushes for progress like this have also improved our understanding of our world and even saved lives. For example, Galileo was punished for his research contradicting the Geocentric (aka Earth at the Universe's center) model that Religious officials of his time preached, but he was right as modern Astronomy continues to be based on the fact that Earth orbits around the Sun. So, I would like to say that despite the bigotry we unfortunately have now, you are ultimately valid (Yes, really! Same-sex love is natural in the Animal Kingdom, and gender reassignment has been found to be effective in almost all cases of dysphoria), and that none of the pseudoscience and other bogus reporting that they have been pushing onto you could ever refute that.

I hear we're doing visibility?

This was me yesterday, for TDOV (It’s already April 1 here in Australia) sitting in front of the worlds largest trans flag. Photo taken by the wonderful @[email protected].

Today is 9 years since I came out to my then 11 year old kid, and tomorrow is 9 years since I started medically transitioning.

I was 41 years old then. Trans awareness was just on the upkick. Everyone knew Caitlyn Jenner. Laverne Cox had appeared on the cover of TIME magazine… Yet I was still the first trans person most people had met.

At the time, my understanding of gender was very binary, and my own goals pretty much consisted of “Get transition out of the way, blend back in to the world, and get on with life without much talking about the trans thing”

But, I went to my first Pride, and I was changed forever. I was surrounded by my people, which wasn’t something I’d ever felt before. And with time, I came to have a more nuanced understanding of gender, and the artificial nature of the binary. And I also came to appreciate my own queerness, and completely lost the desire to blend in and hide amongst the society that had made it so hard to accept myself in the first place.

And now, I can’t help myself. I run gender diverse events, I create spaces and help foster queer communities. I stand loud and visible and proud, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I see all of you glorious bitches, bastards and ne’er-do-wells, and I love you all!
