This year was a year for transgender people. We are more visible now than ever. There has more folks learning about transgender and non conforming people. When I came out sixteen years ago there was hardly any resources for parents of transgender children. Now there's plenty of resources.
I'm thankful for the people who paved the way for what we have today. Future generations will stand on our shoulders. Much has been accomplished, however there's more that needs to be addressed.
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

If the far left or far right were to take over the country queer and trans people would still lose out.
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
