Today I spoke as the keynote speaker for the Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil for City of Bellevue today. It was a bit overwhleming as I was not expecting to be the sole speaker at the event, but I did my best with what I had.
Since moving to Seattle, I haven't done much in the way of the TDOR, or even trans activism, as the Pacific Northwest has it's act together much better than Texas ever did. And I honestly didn't feel I deserved to speak as I haven't done anything in a long while.
But as a friend said, "it's not about being deserving - it's a duty."
And if asked, I'll speak again. Although I hope we never need another TDOR Vigil ever again.
Aka "this description of my gender exists for the purpose of cishets not asking confused follow up questions. It does not accurately represent my identity."

Anyone remember Froze Toes "ice cream" from ther 1980s? Anyone remember it not really being ice cream, but somce kind of ice sorbet? I used to get it because it never tasted like ice cream, but like...almost iced-juice.
Did I imagine that, or was it actually not ice-cream in the milky sense of the word?
