It’s Trans Visibility Day, so I’d like to say a few words about my longtime writing partner @HorrorSwan, a trans woman who I’ve known since we were both kids. (1/8)
The entire time we were growing up, there was always something reserved and private about Swan. We were as close as two people can be. We were together constantly. (2/8)
I know I overshared. I always do. It’s hard-wired into me. But there was a part of Swan that was deeply private, no matter what. All of our closest friends knew it, too. (3/8)
It was just part of Swan, that mysterious something. The thing is, I don’t think Swan knew the answer to what that mysterious something was, either. Not for many years. (4/8)
When Swan transitioned, everything finally made sense. And there’s no question in my mind that she had to transition. She is so much happier now, and she finally feels like a whole person. (5/8)
That missing part was something it took her many years to define. I was not part of that journey. But I can see the end result, and it is undeniable. She is finally who she was always supposed to be. (6/8)
Trans people deserve our respect and our support. I understood that passively before Swan’s transition, but now I truly get it. You know someone who is trans, even if you don’t know it. Even if they don’t know it yet. (7/8)
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. And nothing but love to my trans sister from another mister, @HorrorSwan #TransDayofVisibility (8/8)
