'The future is one without gender conformity or the need to perform gender roles.' imarajones on the making of TheFutureofTrans ⤵️
But beyond these forward-looking motivations, there are others for me which are far more personal.
Growing up, so many of us who are trans find it difficult to imagine a future for ourselves. This is true for both people like me, who spent most of our childhood in the 1980s, and those who are young adults now in 2020. The lack of trans visibility in all walks of life, professions, parts of the country, and even our families can make it hard for us to see what life might be like for us as adults, and as elderly people.
This absence of space for myself as a child was damaging and painful in ways I continue to unpack well into my adulthood. The hostility I felt both from within my household and the outside world led me to exist as two people within one. The first was the boy on the outside who everyone saw and wanted to see. The other, the actual person, was the girl who had to hide inside the other like a Russian Matryoshka doll.I practiced being a boy so much that it became a habit.
But it’s that past that helped me imagine a way forward. It’s why I went on my journey, speaking to other trans people about how they navigated growing up trans, and how they plan to continue that journey into their elder years. My past, our past, is what conceivedwho they are. I want them to know that they will have an existence, despite what the world tells them. The bottom line is that there is no time ahead without us in it.
