Before I understood myself as #trans, I would try on different personas, like they were costumes, but none were right, none were *me*. Costumes are fun, but when you can never see yourself underneath, it's lonely and traumatizing. When I accepted myself as trans, my world was opened to new styles, versions, personas, wondering which persona I should wear. I realized I don't need to *wear* any single one like a costume. I can simply & powerfully *be* all of them, and I'm determined to be greedy.
If I want to be a #SwordLesbian, I will. If I want long glittery nails, I will. If I want them short, I will. If I want to be a tomboy, I will, if I want to be #femme, I will. If I want to be a hacker or an activist or passing or clocky or #queer AF or stealth or valley girl or punk or delicate or emo, or if I want to invoke the goddess #Inanna and reinvent myself as a glorious #trans priestess, I fucking will, and every one of them will be me.
