“I’m fine” doesn’t always mean safety, peace, or ease. For many trans folks, it’s a response shaped by past harm, social pressure, or fear of being misunderstood. We don’t always know what someone is carrying.

So let’s ask better questions, hold space for more honest answers, and create environments where no one has to trade truth for comfort. Let’s move from performative support to real presence.

Today is meant to honor the lives lost to anti-trans violence and recommit to a world where trans people are protected, celebrated, and alive.

Let this day be a reminder: visibility is not enough without safety. Advocacy must include real change.

We remember.
We resist.
We protect.

Holidays can be layered.

If you’re holding joy in one hand and anxiety in the other, you’re not alone.

Whether it’s family dynamics, food-related stress, travel overwhelm, or simply not feeling festive this year, it’s okay to meet yourself with compassion instead of expectation. Here’s your permission slip to step away, say no, or take that deep breath when you need it. 🧡

People may think that trans visibility means progress. However, visibility without understanding or respect puts people at risk.

Trans people deserve more than to be seen. They deserve respect, agency, and the freedom to exist without needing to define their existence.

This is for those deconstructing or reconciling faith and identity. For the ones who’ve been told they couldn’t be both and stayed anyway. ❤️

When our identity is defined by someone else, we lose more than words...we lose presence. This one’s for the trans folks who are naming themselves, redefining what it means to exist boldly.

Choose your language. Choose yourself. Choose your truth.

Even though intersex people have always existed (estimated to be 1.7% of the population, a similar percentage to those with red hair), they still experience human rights violations in society.

Intersex people have anatomical, chromosomal, or other biological characteristics that aren't what society considers "male" or "female." Society can view this diverse way of being as problematic, resulting in discrimination against, lack of bodily autonomy, and human rights abuses towards intersex people.

Intersex Day of Remembrance is about awareness, education, advocacy, and accountability. It calls for allies to advocate for acceptance, inclusion, and the free will of intersex people towards their bodies.

Transgender parents often face restrictions and biases that challenge their ability to parent. Yet, research continues to affirm what we already know: gender identity has no bearing on the love, care, or stability a parent provides.

This is a reminder to challenge bias, support inclusive policies, and uplift trans families year-round.

Trans Awareness Month calls us to action, moving beyond awareness and into allyship. Every conversation, policy, and act of support helps create a safer, more inclusive world for trans people. 🩵🩷🤍

Let’s be honest: for many Evangelical Christian communities, Halloween is painted as dangerous and demonic -- something to avoid or fight against at all costs.

If you have left an Evangelical space, healing means getting to decide for yourself what is meaningful. If the diversity and creativity in costumes, the tradition of changing seasons, and/or the communities (and neighborhood!) coming together to celebrate sound wonderful, you’re allowed to enjoy it.

If you’d rather cozy up with a book and pass on any engagement, that’s okay too. There’s no one right way to participate. If you feel stuck, check in on what interests you and what is within your values (e.g. traditions, creation, relationships). Let yourself experiment and see what feels purposeful.

Happy Halloween 🖤

You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re human. When the world feels heavy and the scroll never ends, your nervous system can carry more than it was designed for. This is your reminder that caring for yourself isn’t selfish, but instead, necessary. 🧡

It's a stressful time for many. In these moments, we can be our own support through acknowledgement, validation, and conscious effort to take care of ourselves. Try out (or make edits and changes) some of these phrases to support yourself ❤️

What do you notice? What do you say to yourself during challenging times?
