I came across this and quite enjoyed it. It's a collection of trans voices from the Southern USA. As a trans southerner myself, I think it's very important to have our voices out there especially nowadays.

Most of what you hear in the news is about all the gross human rights violation laws targeted towards LGBTQ people. It's very real and has far reaching effects. Despite all this, there's still a sizable queer population hanging on! There are also many allies here, despite all the loud bigoted voices.

I've had people judge me solely because I am a southerner. People make negative assumptions because of an accent. I've literally had people up north outright ask me if I'm homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc.

Point is, if you ever meet a southerner, get to know them first. We're people just like anybody else, and some of us are trans too. If you meet a queer southerner, give 'em an extra hug because times are tough.
