Ten years ago today, I legally changed my name as part of my transition. So we mark this day as my "rebirthday".
Had some rainbow layer cake.
Looking back at photos from around that time, I found the one where I smiled for real just at the thought of being myself for the first time. I'd never done that before.
If the world wasn't so hostile, I'd share some of the photos but I'm not that brave.
Just know that whenever I see the newly smiling faces of transgender (and trans-adjacent) folks finally getting to be themselves, I feel it in my heart. We share a kinship and I love you all.
