The Trans Agenda. 🤫
::Secret handshake 🤝🙌::
This week’s headlines were filled with stories about how different cities celebrated TDoV. It was overwhelming, in the very best way! There was another story that stuck out to me. The launching of Artemis II, our first journey to the moon in over 50 years! Of course, it made me imagine the first openly trans person in space. Can you imagine? Picture one of the dolls in zero gravity, floating towards a floating blue estrogen pill, followed by an orb of clear water. Is it hard to believe? It shouldn’t be!
We all know that trans is the future. Queerness is inevitable.
If there are humans anywhere, we will be there too. If evolution is real (which it obviously is), we will be flying through the cosmos without the confines of gravity or gender.
Sometimes people want to limit us because they don’t understand us. They want us to be less because they have chosen to be less. We won’t let it happen. We are living proof of what a life without needless limitations can be—extraordinary.
There have been queers in space and there will be more. We are like rain drops speeding towards the ocean, waiting to fly back to the clouds. Unlimited, unending, and wonderful. I’m proud to be trans. I hope you are too.
The Trans Agenda is UNLIMITED
