Let trans people be beautiful.
Let us be beautiful as who we are, not as an imitation or anomaly of you and your body
P.S. I actually lost Instagram followers for this. Sorry you all feel so threatened by a trans woman reclaiming her sexuality

As a trans person Iâm told I can only be desirable by strictly adhering to stereotypical binary expectations of beauty (because androgndy is only desirable when itâs performed as a choice).
âŠor I can allow myself to be fetishised as sexy for my body being âexoticâ and different

Those have been my options.
Assimilate into a tight little heteronormative box, or release control of my sexuality and let my humanity be stripped away
The last few years Iâve been growing my confidence as I try to find my own beauty and sexuality. On my terms. Through my gaze

Iâve had photos stolen and taken out of context, and felt the anxiety of wanting to fit in with cis women who were born differently to me.
Iâm done with that.
Iâm proud of being trans, proud of being me.
Iâm done with that.
Iâm proud of being trans, proud of being me.
Itâs still a struggle, Iâm not going to pretend itâs not, but I insist to myself and the world that I, and all other trans people, are beautiful and desirable and important.
Regardless of how we fit or donât fit into those two little boxes.

This selfie is an example of me playfully celebrating and finding my own beauty as a queer person, as a woman, and especially as a trans person.
I did it for me. Nobody else. I did my makeup, I chose this pose, and I took the photo.

Not everybody will find me beautiful, obviously Iâm not saying they should
But the option to exist as beautiful not despite being trans, and not specifically because of it, but just as a person?
Thatâs a possibility I want people to consider, for me and for all trans people
