I want to be real about this. Yesterday on my LIVE, someone told me “you pass so well”… and I didn’t react the way I wish I had. I’m not mad at her! but comments like that can hit deeper than people realize. For a lot of us, it can feel like our identity is being measured instead of just seen. I wanted to explain why it bothered me, and also take accountability for how I responded. #transcreator #lgbtq🏳️‍🌈 #fyp #transwoman #storytime
