In First Person C-Ville, Charley Burton, shared why Charlottesville was the right place to host the inaugural Trans Futures Conference, which took place in October.

As a Black trans man and community leader, Burton explained that the conference was more than just a meeting — it represented a crucial step toward building a unified movement. It aimed to reduce isolation, confront political challenges, and amplify the voices of people of color within the LGBTQIA+ community. The event provided a safe, supportive space for trans people and allies to connect, share experiences, and envision a stronger, more inclusive future.

"You ever notice how perfection always shows up looking responsible? Hear me out.

It’s got a to-do list, color-coded planner, and matching highlighters… “getting organized” and just “waiting for the right time.”

You’re not waiting for the perfect time…
You’re waiting for the fear to go away."
