TRANS LIVES MATTER
35.
Yes, 35.
Can you believe 35?
Black and Trans, 35 is my life expectancy.
The big 40, a milestone for many, often not for my sisters.
I don’t get to watch those I love to age gracefully, peacefully.
Hell, I don’t get to see myself get old or fully blossom into my wisdom.
35.
Can I see 35 and beyond?
35.
I matter.
Sigh.
