I wasn’t going to post selfies today cuz I feel like crap but then I got a hat from work and it made me feel a little better. I was also kind of anxious since 1) I’m not really out to all my friends and family and 2) I didn’t really think I was trans enough for this but a few people inspired me. Anyways happy trans day of visibility!

Guess whos muslim black trans and not tryna take photos rn (they/them)
Im nonbinary, and ever since I was 3 ive never quite felt like a girl. Id always do “boy” things and scream when people called me a girl. When puberty hit, I would cry and throw big tantrums when i saw bras. Sometimes in the middle of target lmao and we all know how black mommas react to shit like that. Anyways speeding up the story, I came to terms with my transness late last year. Although I present femininely and wear a hijab, im anything but a girl.
Its still a huge struggle for me, esp finding other trans muslim people to talk to or other trans black muslim folk, but days are lookin up! Im ready to come out to some close friends and some school mates itll be a blast. I’ll try to take care of myself and keep an optimistic beat.
Thanks for listening and happy trans day of visibility!

i just want to say, in conjunction with the ceremonies and efforts for visibility and recognition for our community on this day that im proud to have been named on 2015’s trans 100 list in the ceremony in chicago there. i say that with the caveat that i sincerely hope that i was so named due to my work promoting and moderating trans housing network and generally speaking out about the situation of homelessness in our community and not for any other reasons.
given those circumstances i feel obligated to draw attention and visibility to the situation of the trans homeless on this day. a couple of months ago, HUD reached a decision that any shelter receiving federal funding is not allowed to discriminate on the basis of gender identity or expression. across the united states, similar anti-discrimination policies have become more common and have been implemented in more and more states and local governments.
i believe that this is not the major coup that it may seem. even assuming that these policies are evenly executed, for many trans and gender nonconforming shelter guests being allowed to access the shelter resources that are more commonly used by persons of the opposite dsab will not necessarily be a safer or more comfortable arrangement.
if a trans shelter guest is recognizable to other persons as trans, the other shelter guests may become hostile. rather than risk entering into that situation many trans people would rather avoid entering the shelter system all together (and are therefore sometimes unable to access necessary resources). i myself have been in this situation even in cities and states with non-discrimination policies on the basis of gender identity.
this is why transhousingnetwork.com is an important stop gap resource but especially why we need to work to create gender neutral emergency shelter accomodations and transitional housing available to trans and gender non-conforming persons of all ages in every state
in the mean time, if you have a spare couch or room and can help get someone off the street for even a couple nights, and you feel safe and comfortable doing so, please consider submitting to transhousingnetwork.com

PHOTOS: Transgender Elders Show Us The Meaning of Survival
In the many years that Jess T. Dugan, a Boston-based trans photographer, has spent capturing images of gender-variant people, she says she’s consistently noticed a striking absence in both art and social sciences: imagery of older trans folks.
“And,” Dugan explains further on her website, “those [representations] that do exist are often one-dimensional.” So Dugan set out to fill this gap, teaming up with social work researcher Vanessa Fabbre since fall 2013 to develop the evocative photo project, “To Survive on This Shore.” In the recently released collection, diverse trans elders ages 50 to 86 are pictured at home or in meaningful spaces, gazing unapologetically into the camera, as if asking the viewer to look deeper into their unique context and life story.
I LOVE SEEING TRANS ADULTS ON MY DASH THANK YOU. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO FUTURE BECAUSE I NEVER HEAR OF TRANS ADULTS
