Hey:

Holidays can be really rough for many of us, for 1000s reasons.

I love you; especially love you, trans fam.

It's okay if you're not seeing family this holiday. It's okay if you are. It's okay if you're not out. It's okay if you're swallowing who you are & <assigned gender>-moding to avoid horrible conversations.

Do you need AGGRESSIVE CORRECT GENDERING?

Leave a comment! We'll help.
