My family did everything they could to protect me with the tools they had and that’s why I’m still around. I don’t live where I grew up because it wasn’t safe for me, but I live somewhere similar now and am taking great joy in being the model I needed. — PolitiTweet.org

I was bullied to the point of self-harm for falling outside the gender binary in ways I didn’t yet understand while growing up in a conservative Midwestern town. I was left vulnerable to that abuse due to lack of information and access to models of joyous trans adulthood. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m still navigating what that means, especially here, on this site right now, as a trans journalist. But I know it cannot mean being quiet about how much more joyous my life is living outside the confines of the gender assigned to me at birth. https://t.co/uvK8MA5DD4 — PolitiTweet.org
