First, huge shoutout to my gal pal Mikaela Taylor who coined that term, and then my aunt who used it to describe me. I’m so thankful for both of you! 💗
This one’s short… do you know what it feels like to have a giant weight lifted off of your shoulders? I was watching the coming out video I recorded for my students a few years ago (after it became obvious my time teaching as Terrence was over), and I noticed something…
Before I blurted out “I’m transgender… I’m a transgender woman…” my voice was so low and heavy… you could tell what I was about to say, and what I did say, was heavy.
And then… the SECOND I said it, my voice INSTANTLY picked up! Here… watch for yourself:
It’s interesting what we find in hindsight. It does break my heart that about 2/3 of the views came from fucking KiwiFarms and their army of haters. Still, I’m really proud of this, and proud of my now 2.5 year journey into living full time as my true self!
Hugs!
Alicia
