Trans day of vulnerability
I write this at 4am on March 31st, what is internationally known as Trans Day of Visibility.
It is 12 hours after I emerged from my second gender-affirming surgery. Like a lot of people, my impulse to accelerate transition goals has escalated over the past year as a growing unease fills my body every day that one day, my body and the care it needs, will soon be outlawed— or as is more likely in states like Massachusetts, will no longer be covered under Massachusetts’ implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
