Real Live Trans Adults

After Leelsh Alcorn’s suicide, Oakland-based comedian Red Durkin started the hashtag #RealLiveTransAdult (top image above) to show transgender people afraid of coming out that there is hope and an abundance of possibilities.

Hundreds went online to share their stories (above). This is no longer news, but these tweets are so powerful and the message so important, I’ll share them anyway.

Reminder that i have an okay job as an administrator & receptionist at an adult school in downtown Stockholm, I’m on my 3rd year of marriage and slowly doing better

I’m 30, I’m an anarchist who organizes protests and direct actions, holds queer orgies, grows their own weed and recently got into psychedelics. Some aspects of my life could also be described in the house-job-kids format but I cherry picked these other aspects of my identity because wanna stress here that there are many ways to be an adult and many ways to be happy and many ways to keep on changing the world. If you need a reason to stay alive, it doesn’t have to be the house-jobs-kids thing, you can stick around to become the dangerous queer rebel or the hippie in a van on mushrooms or the crust punk in a squat with 10 dogs or the person that sucked every single dick on Grindr. It’s your life.
