A lovely message we've had as part of our project, with some trans cat stickers that I couldn't resist adding.
Transcript:
(they/them)
My cats were the first ones to know I was trans. They sat with me and I whispered it in their patient ears while I breathed in time with their purrs, my chest (that I know should be flat) rising and falling beneath them. The cushion they sleep on hides the binder I bought in secret, and every time I pass them they give me a knowing glance, as if to say - ‘I know who you are. Your secret is safe with me’.
