To my beautiful sisters,

You don’t need to fit into anyone else’s idea of femininity to be valid as trans or as a woman. Makeup, clothes, aesthetics, and behaviors don’t define your womanhood. You do. Living your best life however is most comfortable, does not make you any more or less a woman as anyone else. It’s not about meeting some arbitrary standard. It’s about being true to yourself.

Don’t let anyone, including your own doubts, make you feel like you’re not “trans enough” or “feminine enough.” You’re out here, living your truth, and that’s already incredible. Keep doing what feels right for you because your womanhood is as real and beautiful as it gets. You are free and valid to be yourself 100% of the time. I give you that permission if you need it.

Please keep living your most authentic lives, for your own self. I love you all so much.

• KJ 🖤
