All trans adults were once trans kids 🏳️⚧️✨
Most trans people can relate to being younger and knowing at least on some level that they were trans - but they maybe didn’t necessarily have the language, opportunities or support to come out until later in life.
So when we talk about trans kids it is important to remember that every trans adult was also once a trans kid, and it’s a positive thing that young people are able to come out.
It protects their well-being and allows them to express themselves as who they are without shame - instead of having to suppress who they are in order to please others.
We all deserve a happy life, and the foundation of a happy life is a happy childhood where you’re able to be who you are without judgement.
Trans Day of Visibility is particularly for those who are still exploring, not yet out, hatching a plan, staying in the shadows for their own safety, imagining a future.
TDoV is a time for celebration of those who paved the way before us, for celebration of self and the journey we’ve taken, which has felt upstream, without support and scary, and yet can be the most rewarding transformations.
This can eventually be seen as the gift it is, gaining maximum empathy, seeing we are more than just our bodies, that our happiness must come first so we are able to be in a position to give back and then have more meaningful relationships and careers.
In these somewhat sour times for trans rights, I hope you can celebrate the awesome trans people in your lives and honour those who are no longer here. Stay safe, stay loved.
Personally, it’s felt like a very long road but with so much joy. 🏳️⚧️✨
✨Justice for Nex Benedict ✨
Nex (16) was a 2-Spirit gentle soul who was brutally beaten for just existing. Nex, and all our trans siblings deserve to feel safe and supported.
💔 It breaks our hearts to know that violence silenced your laughter, extinguished your flame. To all those who knew and loved Nex, I’m so sorry for your loss.
🌸 Let’s honor Nex by amplifying trans voices and pushing for change. Let’s stand against hate, ignorance, and violence. Let’s create a world where every trans and non-binary person can thrive, unafraid and unapologetically.
🕊️ Rest in power, dear Nex. Your legacy lives on. May your spirit dance among the constellations.

HONK for Trans Rights 🏳️⚧️✨
Grateful and humbled to find myself on the list of Big Isssue 100 ‘Changemakers’ in the UK. It’s truly heartening to be acknowledged alongside incredible projects like the @think2speak Trans Secret Santa one in the communities section.
I want to express my gratitude to those who nominated me. The support means a lot, especially in the ongoing effort to promote understanding and eliminate prejudice and discrimination. I’m thankful for the opportunity to contribute.
Here’s the blurb: Fox Fisher is an artist, filmmaker, author and trans campaigner who has been nominated for their “tireless work for trans awareness, film and creative industry”. Since 2011 they have created film content celebrating trans issues and worked on countless awareness-raising campaigns with organisations and companies like Stonewall, Transgender Europe, Durex, London Pride, Bloom and Wild, Nike, Skittles, IKEA, Brighton Pride and the NHS. Their nominators wrote: “Trans people need recognition now more than ever, and people like Fox have fought so hard to eradicate prejudice and discrimination. A lot of their work isn’t seen, yet they work endlessly supporting others.”
