Thank you so much to everyone for all the kind words and congratulations. It genuinely means the world to us. Here's one more picture from the day. I'll have a lot more when we get them from our photographer
@tristan_social
The way the first thing you said was "is she trans?" made me so happy. Like, us being normalized isn't something we see often but it felt so wonderful to hear. You're awesome king!
@keffals
I told my mom if I hadn't transitioned, I probably wouldn't have survived more than a couple of more years. She then told me how selfish I am for transitioning. So yeah.
This is the most important piece I've written in my life so far. It means so much to me so if you could give it a read or a retweet, I would definitely appreciate it.
I'm so fucking sick of "separate the art from the artist". YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN THE ARTIST IS DEAD AND NO LONGER PROFITING OFF THE ART. SPENDING MONEY ON HARRY POTTER BENEFITS ROWLING AND IN TURN, HARMS TRANS PEOPLE.

@YouTube
It was accurate but that is a reality created by YouTube making your earnings based on time watched and them mocking that seemed kinda tone deaf

The day I realized I needed to go on hormones was the day I realized that if I didn't transition, I wasn't gonna see 30. I turn 30 next month. I'm gonna make it 😊😊😊
That's right! I'm now gonna be writing for Winging It In Motown!! I'm so excited for this opportunity to write for a site that I've been reading for a long time and I can't wait to get started!!!
I wanna share the story of our relationship as I'm sure most of my followers don't know the full story. Jem and I met nearly 9 years ago in a Facebook group for people around the world to play pokemon. For the record, I'm American and she's Australian and this was pre-transition.
I'll say this about Red Wings twitter since apparently I missed some shit. I was intimidated AF to get into it. It did seem a bit cliquey but overall tight knit. But, then I got the courage to DM some people in it and I've gained a bunch of friendships from it and I love them.
Hey
@Buccigross
, would love to see you talk more about Mo Seider, who has 37 points in 52 games as a rookie defenseman, plays near elite to elite level defense and throws hits like these. Should be the obvious Calder frontrunner.

I'm feeling extremely angry, hurt, upset and frustrated right now. I'm going to be loud. I will not stop calling for help and love and support from allies in a time where trans people are continuously being threatened.
Fun fact about my wedding outfit; my mother-in-law got authentic pearl earrings from her own mother-in-law a long time ago. She gave them to me a few months ago and I wore them on my wedding day.
@esdeflex
"there is no reason to be that disrespectful based on their beliefs." Well when their belief is that I'm an abomination to society and don't deserve rights, yeah I think I'm reserved the right to be disrespectful.
I'm posting this here too. Either be supportive of me and my transition or get out of my life. I've been hurting too much lately to allow those sorts of people in my life still.
OH MY GOD WE GOT IT!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME OUT AND RETWEETED, YOU'RE ALL AMAZING PEOPLE AND I LOVE YOU!!!

This past weekend at work, a woman I was serving had her 3 year old daughter with her. And the daughter said to her "Mummy, I want cool pink hair like she has" and if a 3 year old can properly gender me, then adults really don't have an excuse.
@kiddbanditpro
Right before I started hormones, I weighed 235. I'm now 190 and confident enough to wear crop tops in public and post pictures of myself in a bra on the internet
It's

I'm a nerd. I'm sporty. I love music. I love looking super pretty and gorgeous. I love looking classy, but love showing skin as well. I'm outgoing and extroverted. I love making people smile and I love smiling.
I'm Riley and I am trans.
Well, I'm awake whether I wanna be or not so let's do this. Today marks 3 years since I came out on Twitter on my 27th birthday. The day I finally shared my true self in a public space for the first time and received more love than I ever could've expected.
I've said it before but I love Red Wings twitter so much. The amount of people coming down on a guy for being transphobic to me is amazing. I feel like I have an army of trans allies and I love it so much.

@jasminekennedie
I was like, "I kinda relate to her, I struggle with speaking over people without realizing it too" and then she came out as trans with a nearly identical story to mine and I'm just like, "Bitch that is me!"
This obviously isn't quite the same thing but I'll never forget at my job induction at a phone store when one of the other new hires asked the two managers if they knew a place where they could buy parts to upgrade their phone so they wouldn't have to buy a new one. Like, what?
@JimCosta_
Do people realize our top hitter is a high school bat who made the league just 3 years after being drafted? And that our top prospect is also a high school bat who should make the majors this year, 3 years after being drafted? My lord, I wanted Langford too but calm down.
