A graphic with quote "“If self-hatred was hammered into you when you were young, Major wants you to know that you're important - that being an outsider helps you develop skin that's both tough and pliable in social situations. You are a stronger person because of the shit you've gone through.” The quote is attributed to "Miss Major, activist, author, organizer for transgender rights" On the graphic is a photo of Miss Major, a Black woman with grey curly hair.
