“The more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I thrive” - @elliotpage The trans joy I’ve experienced off the track this outdoor season is why I have been able to thrive on it. I’ve been publicly out about my gender identity for over a year and a half now. It’s taken time, but I finally feel that self discovery has settled in and I can truly love myself as well as spread that love towards other people. And I can’t express how remarkable it feels to be able to say that 🏳️‍⚧️ To every trans kid, I hope you know that there is nothing wrong with you. Sometimes we get assigned a gender at birth that doesn’t quite match our inner truth and that’s ok! You are more than ok, you are beautiful and deserving of everything this world has to offer. Thank you @nyrr for allowing me to register as non-binary for my final race of the season (swipe to see the “X” next to my gender) and thank you @jzsnapz 📸 for taking one of the most gender affirming pictures I’ve seen of myself to date ❤️
