Hello world — I know you weren’t sitting around waiting for yet another website about trans struggles. Still, I hope this one manages to lift its head above the weeds.
For me, this website is an outlet. My way of screaming into the void, coping, and getting things out of my system. But what can it possibly do for you?
A mirror. As a trans person, you probably know what emptiness and rejection feel like. And you probably have those moments when you feel incredibly lonely — moments where it seems like nobody else has the same struggles, and nobody understands what it’s like. You’re wrong. I see you.
A bullhorn. Many of my siblings have no voice. Some are too scared to speak up. Some are simply too exhausted from the constant fighting. But I can. I have a voice. I can be loud and obnoxious and make myself heard — and I’m happy to use that voice for all of us.
A bridge. I understand that some cisgender people feel that navigating gender‑nonconforming spaces is a minefield. I hope the thoughts on this site help them understand us a little better. Help them see why the response to a seemingly innocent question can sometimes be harsher than expected. Help them realize that asking people about their genitals is almost never okay.
Whoever you are — I appreciate that you’re here. Let’s make this world a better place. Together.
Hugs, Liz
