Rockin' the Red
I had a great time in early September at the DC Trans Ladies' Community Soiree. They're always great opportunities to meet a diverse group of people and you spend a lot of time in "get to know you" conversations. We also almost always have people that are stepping out of the closet for the first time so it's a very supportive environment and a chance for people to say "Hey, look at me!".
This night was a bit different, given everything the administration was up to particularly in regards to trans military service, and the discussions were rampantly political. People are looking to get involved and make a difference. I personally heard from quite a few people who said that they had thought of me when they heard of the trans ban and several even said they wrote their first ever letters to their representatives. It was touching, and great to feel the energy in the room.
But it was also a chance to go a little fancy, so... "Hey, look at me!"
