Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
Trans people have always existed. Polynesian Fa’afafine, Native American Two Spirit and Mexican Muxes are just a few historical examples.
We’re ordinary humans, we’re someone’s child, we’re someone sibling, we’re someone’s partner, we’re part of the community. We are human, just like you.
Australian WCMX wouldn’t be where it is today without the contributions of transgender and gender diverse people.
To all the young trans folks out there, particularly in Queensland, it will get better. Queensland once led the country in access to hormones for under 18s, I believe the pendulum will swing back eventually. In the meantime we must keep fighting for the reversal of the HRT ban. Access to gender affirming care as a minor is the reason I am still here today. I want to see the next generation of trans kids thriving, not just surviving.
