The best advice I can offer anyone is to stop worrying what others think or may think of you, to live your life authentically, to the fullest, all while loving and embracing who you are! ——————————————————— I get a lot of messages from people asking me when I transitioned and if it’s too late for them to do so. I also get a lot of people saying, “I’ll never be passable” or “my family and friends will never accept me.” ——————————————————— Being true to who you are in a world that seems to hate and fear us, can be terrifying so I understand the concerns. However, the hate you have to flush out the most, is your own. Stop beating yourself up, feeling shame and guilt for being “different.” The journey to authenticity has no age limit and “passability” is a false construct based on outward appearances of vanity. True beauty shines from within and is reflected through your smile and your heart. Love and embrace who you are…even the flaws!! Also, if your current family and friends won’t accept you, you’ll find a new, chosen family that will embrace you with open arms. Let go of the fears and chose to live your life ——————————————————— #transformation #journey #transition #transisbeautiful #changes #thisiswhathappylookslike #authentic #unashamed #unbothered #bestdecisionever https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYkyuRA9vk/?igshid=14dchxrzoou1d
Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do. ~Scott Stabile~ ———————————————— I’ve learned that everyone will have an opinion, even if what they want to talk about has no impact on their life in any way. Y’all can throw as much hate and shade against me and my dreams as you want but know this…I don’t care! My goals and dreams are bigger than me and far bigger than you. Trans people exist and that existence is not up for debate or discussion. We deserve the right to live freely, pursue our dreams, and achieve everything we set our hearts and minds to…including the game of basketball!! ———————————————— Can you imagine a world where everyone focused on being kind, committed to love, and were free in their authenticity…One day
Trans people are a v. v. v. v. hot topic in Hollywood these days. But all this chit-chat about trans people is often missing something v. important, you guys: i.e. ACTUAL TRANS PEOPLE. We were lucky to have three Toronto-based trans ladies Maya Henry, Cassandra Moore and Pina Newman grace the #BrionysTeenyTiny couch to chat about this stuff, along with all the hein trans stereotypes in film and TV, the trans terms you should NEVER use and the need for more parts for trans artists.
