    I crafted these shoes as a manifestation of the support testosterone (T) has granted me, both physically and physiologically. When worn functionally, my collection of discarded testosterone bottles literally hold me up at the soles of my feet. This piece is titled: supporT 🤍

    Being in a relationship with a hearing person has been both beautiful and frustrating. What is accessibly to her typically is not accessible to me. MaryV has been the brightest light. Before we met, she did not know sign language. Now, we sign every day, even in the dark...

    Shaming or ridiculing Asians who wear face masks blatantly ignores the culture behind them while perpetuating harmful racial stigmas. Believing someone is infected based solely off their ethnicity is absurd. Please, be aware of your comments and actions, now and always!

    Passing as male privilege: walking casually down a path in the woods, alone. One I used to avoid in my sports bra 2 yrs ago. I am the same person- actually have less clothes on! But, my masculine presentation keeps me safer than anything I could ever wear as a femme.

    Nervous to see the whole video be released in the future. We expose our hearts.

    I wrote this in my diary before top surgery: “I've been having an extra hard time dressing myself lately. Not the physical act, but the mental task of juggling body dysphoria with my outfit choice.“ Sharing my words now as I am FINALLY at home in my own clothes and body.

    Today marks 3 years on testosterone. I am overcome with gratitude and exhaustion. Beginning this process, I had no idea what to expect. But, here I am. I am him.

    I am 20 years old. And most days, I feel as if I’ve run out of time. Created this painting in a frenzy to represent this moment in time with all its chaotic glory.

    For Calvin Klein. Just because it hasn’t been done before, does not mean it cannot be done.
