Something I've noticed for a long time-

Almost all the friends I had in my life time have either been gay, trans, and/or geeks. My best friend growing up turned out to be trans, 2 childhood friends are gay (I don't think they ever met each other), someone I used to hang out with out at theater camp who snidely made fun of someone who also transitioned ALSO turned out to be trans (I just learned his new name today lol), I wanted to be friends with a trans masc and a lesbian in high school- heck, I even had a manager that once told me out of the blue he was trans (one of the nicest managers ever). I've had and still have more LGBTQ+ friends and geek friends, but its still just very funny that that's always been my go-to friends.

Most of the trans friends were F to M and were also mostly all geeks. I'm still questioning my own gender conformity, but for all my trans friends throughout my life- I salute you and I am proud of you! You made my life great in every step. Thank you.

#trans visibility #trans visibility day #trans community #there was some tension with one friend pretransition and I didn't understand what being trans meant at the time #so I was hearing and spreading misinformation about his transition and was mad at what he did #we made up in our senior year of high school and he reached out again- but it's still hard to forgive him #he was a good friend who went through a lot of troubles- but I think he's living a better life now #i'm teetering between non-binary and/or genderfluid myself now- but I lived in somewhat anti-lgbtq+ environments in my lifetime #so I'd like to also apologize to my trans friends who I may have unintentionally hurt or misgendered by accident #i hope you are all living with the love and respect you deserve
