Knowing Your Truth
I was asked the other day about my Trans Rights Now tee that I have created and have been wearing. The person assumed that my view and values were based on what I have been hearing in the mainstream media, which is not the case. I was also told to do my own research which I have. I also base it on my life experiences.
I am not trans and I don’t know what it is like to walk in their shoes. But I have always been and will always continue to be gender non conforming and gender fluid. There have been times I have not been accepted for many reasons. have been yelled, which I can still see the rage and hate in their eyes, but I have never experience any violence like some members of the LGBTQIA+ community,
I have been blessed because I have an amazing family who has always loved and supported me, which is not always the case with the trans community. My parents have always allowed me to discover who I am by supporting me, surrounding me with love, and giving me the space I needed throughout my life to explore who I am, they still do. They have taught me the importance of love, how to accept others, have an open mind, and to follow my heart.
Which has instilled in me a natural curiosity. When I am curious about something I go out and get information from multiple sources which can include listening to many different people with different perspectives and experiences, reading bills, reports, articles, and looking at statics and science. From there I discern my own truth. I also follow my gut and intuition while being my heart space.
I am not here to convince anyone of anything or to tell you how to think or what to believe. I am going to ask you to broaden your horizons. If you want to know why I say Trans Rights Now go listen and talk to Trans people and parents of trans kids from multiple different experiences. Which you can easily do on social media if you don’t know anyone or where to start. Read the actual bills that are being introduced in your state and/or other states including the federal government. Look at multiple studies about gender affirming care from different resources. And listen to parents of trans kids that are sharing their experiences.
You can apply this to learning about race, history, indigenous community, women's rights, and other bills that are being introduced in your state and at the federal level. Don’t take one person's word on it or the mainstream media. Go out with your heart open and be curious to figure out your own truth.
Spreading Love,
Valeri
