Life as a Transgender Woman

I feel like I am a very blessed person to be able to call Johanna Saavedra one of my best and favorite online-friends. She recently posted this paragraph on her FB page, and i felt it was worth sharing here on my blog. 

Hi my name is
Johanna Saavedra
and I just want to say that I am really happy
and proud to be Trans Latina woman immigrant from Guadalajara Mexico I came to the USA from Mexico when I was only 18 years old when I left my country
although I am afraid for my wellbeing every day in my life
and existence
here in the USA
because of all the hate and ignorants from
mostly all the people who don't know of us Trans
I thought Coming to Unites States was going to be t
Better for my life
supposedly here we all have rights
and I do not
only speak for myself I speak for all my transgender sisters all over the world
who had experience that and any type of discrimination, hate, humiliation,
I like to also mention all the Beautiful and amazing people

the ones can't speak for them selfs and all the others that already left us or some on kill them
I really hope someday I can see in my own eyes that life for us Trans people will gets better
I can only hope
That I can see that then I Will be really happy that all my Trans gender youth sisters will be living in a much better world than me
Johanna Saavedra💋😘❤💕🙏🏽😍😇💐🌎

The sketch on this blog entry was inspired by the hard-working members of the TransLatina Coalition

(see there site HERE ) who i was introduced to through my friend and muse Johanna Saavedra.  

They are selling teeshirts (see the photo below) to raise money for the orginization. If you are interested in supporting transgender equality and rights, make sure you go to their site and donate, or purchase one of their shirts!
