Holy Fuck, This Guy Was TOUGH! Worse part is as I'm a Texican, I'm pretty sure he's my cousin.
Trans people can thrive.
We can scratch out an existance that's more happy than sad or tragic, that's full of meaning and hope and presence and love. An existance that we get to narrate and curate for ourselves and by ourselves.
Happy TDOV.
I'm celebrating the hardiness and love of my trans siblings.
Eva Longoria, a 9th generation 'Texican’, speaks about how the southern border crossed her families land; which they owned since 1767, before the USA was ‘founded’.
The United State of America was built on occupied land and Mexicans are just as native to the US as Cherokee’s and Navajo’s.
Observation one:
Wearing jeans is 100% acceptable. To church, to a funeral, it’s totally fine. The only stipulation is these jeans must be dark and your “church jeans.”
I don’t know if other people call them that but that’s what I always called them.
I’m pretty sure this comes from having “Work jeans” and then having your nice, dark blue dress jeans. This is great to me, not being ironic.
I’ve been away from the culture enough that I’d forgotten that was a thing. Seeing eight pallbearers in dark blue jeans and starched white shirts was a balm.
