Amy Schneider:
"Seeing trans people anywhere in society that you haven’t seen them before is so valuable for the kids right now that are seeing it."

Three cheers for bravery, intelligence and visibility.
This is something that has been on mind quite a lot recently, indeed I have written a a few posts on the subject of visibility at https://paula-paulasplace.blogspot.com/ recently. I think it is important that work, socialise and are visible in "normal" society, as we never know when we may be just what somebody needs to see to bring them back from the brink, to make a decision they have been avoiding. As we hear so often "you can't be it if you can't see it". That's why I will continue to perform publicly, to stand up in public and talk, to not hide away or try to "go stealth"
