I love that. Thank you!

Those are some of the photos from my Commitment Ceremony with my partner in August of this year. We have been together for 3 years, I came out in March of this year. I was fortunate enough to have a partner who is bisexual, and she also happens to be one of the most amazing, genuinely loving people in the world. We were already planning our commitment ceremony before my subconscious egg broke (I had even been hiding it from myself until it broke all over the place, lol). After I came out to her, we processed a lot and then came out of that feeling even more excited to go from having a straight ceremony to a lesbian ceremony! One of the most beautiful days of my life, surrounded by queer-loving people who immediately celebrated my transformation.
If only I could say the same about all of my siblings and parents and dozens of extended relatives. My trans identity has been rejected by every single one of them, while they throw parties about the election results.
I have literally found my own new family. Building loving community and uniting, I now realize, is one of the single most important things in the entire world that we can do and need to do to survive this phase of our world.
