Trans Day Of Remembrance

Today, I remember the Trans* lives that have been taken. I sit with the immensity that hate continues to live on in this world. I grieve in that human beings continue to be murdered for be-ing themselves. I hold the weight of my privilege, that I can walk out of my house not having to fear for my life when countless others do, and will. I hold my dear Trans* sisters and brothers and kin whom I love immensely. I hold their stories of metamorphosis, of pain and destruction and rebirth. I hold their trust in me with such reverence. I remember their strength and courage to show up as their authentic selves, souls layed bare in a world that doesnt honor nor hold their magic, their beauty, their power. I remember and I see and I hold them in awe. It is the continual fuel that permeates my being to continue to show up as love, to be love, until all hate is extinguished from this world. No being should ever have to walk this earth and fear losing their life because of them being themselves, in their entirety. No one. Not Ever. Today I remember all of these things.
