There’s so much to recount about our first event last night that I don’t even know where to start. The idea of trying to convey it all is overwhelming.
I can’t possibly put to words how grateful, proud, blessed, fortunate, and supported I feel to be able to do this for my community and hear back from you all that it really was the special night I hoped to offer.
If you came out to SECOND PUBERTY last night, I can never thank you enough for showing up to support much-needed Trans-centric Q***r community spaces and sharing this special moment of creative genesis with us.
Though there are many hurdles to creating sustainable spaces for precisely those communities that need them most, we’re here to try.
Last night was the best night of my life, and I owe that to every one of you who came out, worked the event, or supported this project in any way.
For 38 years, I didn’t know it was possible to be this happy. For 38 years, I didn’t know it was possible to *feel* community this deeply in your bones. For 38 years, I just somehow held out hope that there was something worth living toward.
This is the future I stayed alive for.
If you want to support our efforts to build more inclusive Q***r spaces that center and uplift the Trans community here in LA, please consider making a donation via Venmo: .
We really need our allies in the cisgender Q***r community to show up for us if we’re going to be able to cultivate the spaces we need and deserve.
Transgender people are the shining beacon lighting the way forward for humanity. Every one of us, just by existing, proves that within each person is a deep, ineffable, unshakable core essence that can never be bent or broken by prescriptive pressures.
In a world built on oppressive lies about the limits of the human spirit, we shine this brightly so that all people, everywhere, can find their inner light.
The first Revolution is within.
