Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
Being trans is an inherent and awesome part of being me, and nothing and no one can ever change that!

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 31 Happy International #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! What trans author has inspired you the most?
I'm embarrassed to say I don't have a trans author come to mind immediately, but I have been inspired by nonbinary author Alex Washoe who has written some lovely sports romances featuring trans characters.
On this #TransgenderDayOfVisibility I'm glad my grandson plays for a #Canadian soccer team that understands and respects the importance of supporting and including *ALL* people.
For this year's Trans Day of Visibility, Syracuse Bears would like your help with getting the Syracuse Common Council to declare Syracuse a Trans Safe Haven! HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP!

No one of course was suggesting outing people against their will. That is a entirely different subject from promoting minority voices.
I am as you say of a certain age and have lived through enforcement silence. And do so again. Those and other experiences show in my writing without ever being explicitly political or about being trans.
In this day and age it is unlikely any traditional publisher would touch me. There are points in my stories that would make many privileged people uncomfortable. The fear losing one's job, the hypocritical judgemental neighbors, the frequency of suicide, ostracizism by family, the struggle finding housing, the casual violence and scorn. These and others issues appear as side bars in my stories because they are a daily part of our lives. You are never safe no matter how much you cocoon yourself in a mainstream identity.
Those who wish to remain hidden should be respected. Those who take the other road should be celebrate.
Happy Transgender Day of Visibility to those of us in situations where "visibility" is too dangerous to even consider right now.
You are valid.
You are loved.
You still count.
Be safe.
Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!!!!! #transgenderdayofvisibility
