rememberwhenyoutried:

I don’t post selfies for stuff like tdov because I’m white, have enough money to survive, and pass 100% – my life these days is about as low-risk as it’s possible for a trans woman’s to get, absent suddenly becoming rich. I am phenomenally lucky, and don’t feel like my demographic is one that needs elevating.

Sometimes, like the one-time urge to run a trans youth support group, I feel like I should do more. Then I remember that I’m brown, have enough money, and pass 100%. Then I think I’ll stick with challenging people who say unpleasant things, and protesting in my polite, English, middle-class way. Which I admit is selfish, but also, I like not being out a lot of the time.
