TechnoTenshi :verified_trans: :Fire_Lesbian:<p>Seventeen years ago, I thought I was in a cis-hetero relationship, trying to fit into the norms everyone around me expected. I wore the gender roles others gave me and performed a script that never felt like mine.</p><p>Today, I’m a trans girl in a loving, joyful lesbian relationship. My little one is queer, and during this Pride Month, all their closest friends have come out too.</p><p>This weekend, we celebrated my little one’s birthday in Capitol Hill—Seattle’s gayest neighborhood. Pride flags were everywhere, queer people surrounded us, and I felt such a sense of safety, belonging, and celebration. In our group of eight, only two were not queer—and for that moment, I wasn’t the odd one out. I felt the joy of being part of a <em>majority</em>—a community that embraced me just as I am.</p><p>I am so grateful to see my little one with like-minded friends, living free of the judgment and rejection I faced when I was young.</p><p>Happy Pride, fam! Let’s celebrate who we are, together. 🌈✨</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrideMonth</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/QueerJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerJoy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChosenFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChosenFamily</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TransLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransLove</span></a></p>
