(Cont.) I often find it so frustrating the ways that our society limits us with its ideas and assumptions of gender, of personhood. Sometimes I opt to present myself in less feminine ways to feel safer and to avoid an unkind gaze, or judgement, or worse. But recently I find more liberation in turning my frustration into passion, and bravely being a symbol of change, of transformation, of transcendent transness, of humanness. A queer free from fear, moving through the world with the hope that we can expand our perceptions, so we may find freedom of movement through our days, as we flow like the waves or sway like the trees in the breeze, unashamed and unlimited, powerful in our presence." - Milo
