FROM KASEY
ADVICE TO MY YOUNGER SELF:
NEVER COMPROMISE ON WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN

Photo of a blurred orange flower on green/grey background NEVER LOSE HOPE OR GIVE INTO CYNICISM.
LET YOUR WALLS AND INSECURITIES CRUMBLE INTO NONEXISTENCE.

Blurred photo of trees on a blue and brown background DARE TO LOVE AND DARE TO BE VULNERABLE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO LOVE YOU AND WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

This is our first installment in the “We Were Trans Kids Once” series. If you have a young trans/gender-diverse person in your life, please share. If you’d like to share your wisdom and experience, email us at tog4ty@gmail.com. Thank you to our brave, grown, vulnerable creators!
Transition can be really healing on its own, but for me being in trans community was what really allowed me to accept myself and feel whole. Loving other trans people and seeing their beauty and value made me see my own too.BUT finding other trans people and building meaningful relationships can be hard! Especially when trying to do it offline. It is awkward going to queer meet-ups or clubs or talking to cool-looking strangers at parties, but my advice would be to push through the awkwardness and do it.And keep embracing the awkwardness and reach out to people first, make plans, and check in on people. Be generous with your time
and nurture your
relationships because these are what will keep you safe and help you grow. Don't be discouraged if you don't immediately click with all the trans people you meet.With time and practice you'll find your people

From Jole
I'm nearly in my 40s, and only within the past several years have I begun to understand my own identity as a non-binary, agender trans person.  Picture of a tree in dense fogIf I could speak with my kid self, I would tell them to keep speaking out and being loud-you'll find other voices and support. I'd let them know to never stop. playing for fear of not fitting in, and that that's the best way to learn and to attract creative people.  Picture of a gate covered in a green and yellow vine opening into a grassy area in dense fog Most of all, I'd tell them, "You're not broken because you feel different from everyone else. You're going to have to work harder to become who you are, and often you'll feel alone and misunderstood."
Picture of a pier and boat in a foggy morning on a lakeYour journey will be imperfect and, at times, both terrifying and wonderful.
Sometimes it will be easy and sometimes it will feel unbearable, but that's going to make it that much more rewarding and joyful everyday just to be you.

Bless Osaka. Bless the paradox. I actually think that when people say something like "tennis comes first," it's a weird commentary on our notion of individuality. Paradoxically, tennis is an individual sport, but it doesn't like individualism much.
