I'm Still Alex - 010 - a symbol
Aug 02, 2025
When I started my transition and began to come out to a few more folks than the tiny few that knew about me, there was something I kept saying as a part of my spiel…
“This is what I am, not who I am.”
I think I believed it fully at the time.
But then the interaction in the comic above occurred this past summer and completely changed my mind. Sure, being trans is something that I just am, but it’s also something that can be part of who I am as well.
Seeing that kid completely light up the way they did sparked in me a desire that I really didn’t think I’d ever have. Suddenly, that kid made me want to be visible.
Like the comic says, I wasn’t ready to be publicly out so I felt safer lying about myself at the time, but I truly hope that the next time I’m up there they have the opportunity to see me…
…a transgender person who’s included and having fun, just like we all should be.
