Our story holds the power to absorb any of our weaknesses. No longer can they attack us, turn us against each other or dictate how our community should live. We set our own expectations of what our story looks like. We are the teachers of what trans looks like. We are the leaders of our own narrative. We are the doctors or healers and the lawyers fighting for justice for us. We reform our story not any one else. They may want to break us to our lowest points, take away our voice but guess what? What we are is more than they can see. We are not broken easily. We fight a battle that does not stop when the enemy comes for us. We stand solid on our beliefs, on our history and in solidarity for those who joined the fight that we lost along the way. We are not weak. We are underserved not undesirable. We deserve to grow to our highest altitude no longer be bound by our fears. With our heads held high and our hearts heavy from the ones we lost along the way. We light a candle to set them free and as we release their spirit into the heavens . We hold onto their happiest moments with us. We cry tears of sorrow and pour unresting love as we say the names we lost this year. As a community we have the power to heal but it takes a chain reaction of abundant love and community support. By our grace we are still here and there’s a reason why. We need to trust that we can keep the fight alive.
