    It was 12 or 13 years ago that a friend gave me a rainbow pin, the first token of queer recognition I ever received.

        I was so proud of that pin and utterly terrified to display it.

        I'd known privately I was queer forever. As a kid I knew I wanted to be a girl, and maybe 12 or 13 I realized I was attracted to boys, too.

        But I'd kept that quiet for as long as I could. It wasn't until that friend gave me safety that I could be more open, if not out.

        When I went back to RPI to finish my undergrad, I resolved to join the Pride org. But I was too afraid to approach their booth.

        That was in 2007. That was even after I had started presenting femme in public.

        As it turns out it's a lot harder to engage with people about queerness than you think. I didn't openly come out as bi till 2012 or 2013.

        Most of you see me as an unapologetically loud queer trans person. What you don't see is the decades long path getting here.

        I still have that rainbow pin, I think. It serves as a reminder of the power of unconditional acceptance.

        At every pride parade, someone is receiving their first rainbow flag and they're feeling safe and proud to hold it, even though it's scary.

        And even though a thousand other people are carrying them, too. It matters that they are. This is why pride matters to all queer people.

        For a queer person, having pride is a willful act, not a guarantee. Allies will never understand this truly. It's not just representation.

        It's about never letting go of that feeling when someone truly, unquestionably, accepts you for who you are.

        Never take it off. Started that a month ago. It's started my coming out. It's my first token of pride. I'm 25 & only considering coming out

        SO knows I'm queer, and my therapist. But that's basically it. Few more know I'm bi/gay, but none that I'm nonninary. ❤️💛💚💙💜
