Transgender visibility is important.
Once you get to know trans people, it's obvious that being trans is the most boring thing in the world: these are people who just want to act their gender, like everybody else.
Once you've gotten to witness someone transition, it's clear how important this is: the improvement in mood, self-confidence, and overall well-being can be staggering.
Not every trans person can be visible, but those who can put themselves at risk for their own authenticity and for others like them who can't yet be themselves. If that's you, then thank you!
