“Trans kids are living in the future in a way. When I was growing up, "transgender" wasn't even a word. It wasn't used. Just the naming of something that's invisible, or was thought of as shameful or different - giving it a name that's not a slur is powerful. It's still a little hard to imagine what it might look like growing older as a trans man, but I think that's going to change for the next generation. For trans kids growing up, that visual bridge towards their future selves is starting to develop in conjunction with this trans media wave we're in.” ThinkingMenGivingDifferentKidsPowerfulGrowing UpImagineWaveInvisibleNext GenerationGrowing OldTransgenderShamefulGrowing Older Author:Rhys Ernst
