Last week, as I wrote previously, was my third coming out
birthday, as well as National Coming Out Day. In celebration of that date, and
in recognition of its 20th anniversary, the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance threw a little party. This organization, which I am proud to be a
member of, educates about, advocates for, and supports the transgender and
gender non-conforming community across Southern Arizona and across the state.
I was honored that night to deliver a speech affirming the significance
both of SAGA’s 20 years and National Coming Out Day, which I share here for
those who were not able to be present.
I am proud to be transgender. I am proud
to be a woman. I am proud to be a demisexual lesbian. For me it’s about the
entire LGBTQ community, and I affirm the right of everyone to live
authentically as their true selves and to love whomever they choose. I will not
go back into the closet ever again.
