Well, I'm existing, which is already a lot of effort.

June is usually the one month that I tone down the "activism" and fighting for my own rights and let other people (and even companies!) do it for me with all the special events and posts while I chill at home :)

Coming out to yourself counts :)

That's also very difficult!

Best of luck to you! It was the most difficult thing in my life to do, to come out to my family. You got this <3

I'm going to a local pride event in a couple weeks and a bigger event next month. I know a lot of folks are anxious to attend large pride events right now, and that's totally understandable, but I'll be happy to go draped in my trans flag and represent my community! I also wear my pride pins on my uniform at work all month and remind all my customers that I am in fact queer as hell thank you very much. I've only been out a few years so Pride means a lot to me :)

Nothing. I’m the equivalent of a pride month humbug. I just kinda treat it like every other month. I do gotta order a new flag for outside to replace my old pride flag. The one I have is faded.

I also need to buy a new pride flag, I have the lesbian one but not the trans one

[-] 3SiameseCats@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Get one that’s heavy duty. I have an American flag thats heavy duty, made up of individual pieces of fabric and it lasts way longer, not as faded. A little more expensive but worth it if hanging outside. Also going to buy a Finnish flag, because why the hell not. And I live in a Finnish community area.

I mean, I'm visible, open and proud every day. I won't be do anything specifically different this month though, because Pride isn't until September here (in Spring instead of Winter)
