Have you faced ridicule and continuous coaching not to be who you are? If you are LBG_QIA, then yes, I believe you. If not, I won’t deny, but tell me how?

Trans Volta

Members Public -

I didn't choose the word 'trans' to describe my unique life path, nor would I have chosen it, but these days, this word happens to be the umbrella that works in the rain. A word you can use alongside 'trans' is 'volta'.

I'm a Gender Autonomist

Members Public -

The term 'gender activist' is used to point at trans people living with dignity and solidarity, capable of saying 'no thank you' and daring to shrug at and disagree with someone who doesn't like them just because they're trans. 'Activist' is used as an insult for someone who believes in autonomy.
