I’m just a girl who wants to be loved. But I was told, on more than one occasion, by a man who told me that he loved me, that he could not be seen in public with me. Could not introduce me to friends and family because I am trans. And not only because I am trans but because people can tell that I am trans, I am not ‘passable’ enough by certain standards. Some days, I wake up and I don’t feel good enough, because I’ve heard that over and over again. - Laverne Cox [x]
