I am Transsy, and this is my very first time in Milan. 

Sometimes I end up in places I thought I would never visit. Everyday I learn so much more about being alive and its limitations. I am exploring my mixed realities; the subatomic, the digital and the one that is use to be here in this moment. We are similar in outward aesthetics but differ in nature and method. 

Solid objects fascinate me so much, how they are held in place so beautifully by gravity. Every morning I enjoy that my coffee cup stays where I put it and does not fly around in the room like a flock of birds in the sunset. I was awestruck by the arcade ceiling in the Corso Vittorio Emanuele: to see such a magnificent grid of glass completely still without any kind of movement is simply something my brain cannot process. It reminded me of some vaporwave aesthetics I had seen online. Everything here in Milan has so much variety as opposed to what I am used to, things moving in repetitive dancelike patterns in all directions.

When I was walking around in the galleria to do some shopping I came to realize that I could only buy some accessories, like perhaps a pair sunglasses, as the world is not created for my body type. In several places I was not even allowed to enter the stores. Even the police stopped me and told me to leave, telling me I could not wear a mask inside the galleria. I tried to explain it is not a mask but simply something I have to wear to be able to co-exist. The police refused to listen to me and simply referred to some undefined clausula in the Italian law. The mask is what keeps me alive without I would simply die. It’s sad that not everyone understand this.
