As she says elsewhere: "Today is #TransDayOfVisibility, & I fight to be as visible as I can every day, b/c other people's visibility saved my ... life, but more importantly because being trans is ... beautiful.

Let me repeat that.

Being trans is ... beautiful.

I wouldn't want to be any other way.

I hope your Trans Day of Visibility today is fierce and joyful.

When we're visible, we win. Always."

Alt-text:

"Selfie photo of a woman, body directed left, but facing the camera. She has red hair in a short, asymmetrical cut, & is wearing a form-fitting red top almost the same colour as her hair, but a little darker.

She is also wearing long, dangling earrings of five hearts joined together in the trans colours of blue, pink, white, pink, blue, & a pin of small white dragon (I think) with wings in the trans colours as well.

She mostly fills the frame, but you can tell she is standing at the top of stairs inside a home, because we can see a bit of the foyer with the front door & light brightly shining in from side windows.

She has simple-looking, but excellent makeup, her lipstick matching her top, and a smile that reads as settled in herself & well-contented.

Although probably not planned, the juxtaposition of her very prominently in the foreground, & the door clearly seen 'behind' her in the far background seems to say "If you are thinking you are trans, wondering about coming out and if things could be better, follow me & you, too, could have this life".
