Trans Day of Visibility

Today is Trans Day of Visibility and I thought I’d share my TDOV poem from last year, because I had no place to put it then and I quite like it. To all my trans friends, lovers, and favorites: Be proud of who you are and what you had to do to get here. This world is better off with you all in it <3

My music recommendation for today is Friends. Lovers. Favorites. by the HIRS Collective

I.

You are your body.
You take up space.
All acts are bodily acts.
You act on this world.

II.

You are what you know.
You are what you do.
You are what you know to do.
You are not what you own.

III.

You know very little.
You know different things from everyone else.
You share what you know to do.
Others are like you.

IV.

You listen to what others share.
You help others in doing.
What you know to do can change.
Learn to become a changed thing.
