There’s a grief that comes when you realize you have to walk away from people you fought for because they were taught to see you as the enemy. I’m not shrinking to fit inside someone else’s lie.Maybe they’ll find me again, when truth feels safe. #Grief

Finding My Worth: A Journey from Complex Trauma to Self-Acceptance Trigger Warning: This article contains detailed discussions of childhood trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence, suicidal ideation, family dysfunction, medical trauma, discrimination, homelessness...

After years of survival and shame, I finally feel worthy. I wrote about reclaiming my voice, unlearning the lies CPTSD taught me, and learning to feel good again. #TraumaSurvivor #CPTSD

It’s for my activism/work project!

I’ve been deep in grad school and building a mental health resource hub! However, here’s a reminder to not give up! You are not broken! #MentalHealth #Trans 🏳️‍⚧️

They want us overwhelmed, scattered, and too exhausted to fight back. Protect your mind like it’s your most powerful weapon. Rest. Set boundaries. Stay grounded. Survival isn’t weakness, it’s strategy. #TransVoices #ProtectYourPeace

Taking Life One Day at a Time A Personal Update

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is focus on today! #MentalHealth #TherapistSky #Trans 🏳️‍⚧️

Authenticity is resistance. In a system that profits from your silence, living your truth is a damn protest. Show up as you, even when the world demands masks. Your truth is powerful. Keep choosing it.
#LiveYourTruth #Authenticity #SmashTheSystem

You don’t owe anyone access to you if it costs your peace. Boundaries aren’t selfish. People-pleasing is survival, not personality. Protect your energy and stop apologizing for being real. #ProtectYourPeace #Authenticity #MentalHealth #Boundaries #Healing #TherapistSky

We’re not each other’s enemy. Hate thrives when we’re too busy fighting each other to fight it. Take care. Stay grounded. Stay human.

Your choices matter more than your circumstances. The power to change your story has always been in your hands #TraumaSurvivor

Rebuilding trust after C-PTSD isn’t about letting your guard down. It’s about trusting your gut, honoring your boundaries, and knowing you’ve got your own back now #trustissues #CPTSD #boundaries #healingjourney

Self-Preservation in the Age of Collective Gaslighting We're living in what feels like a gaslight culture, a time when truth itself seems up for debate, when lived experiences are questioned, and when reality feels increasingly unstable.

In a world on fire, self-preservation is resistance.
Tips for staying grounded when collective harm feels nonstop. #Resistance #TherapistSky

You were never meant to do this alone. Your pain isn’t a personal failure it’s a response to a disconnected world. Healing is collective. You don’t have to be strong to be worthy. You just have to be human. #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #CollectiveCare

Even in chaos out there or inside you’re still here. Still choosing truth. Still surviving. Authenticity isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline. And if all you did today was be real in a world that wants you erased, that’s power. That’s survival. #transresilience 🏳️‍⚧️

I am back in Cali permanently!! Goodbye Illinois!

The Cost of Living Authentically: Life Struggles, Transitions, and the Sacred Fight to Stay True There’s a sacred violence in being forced to choose between survival and authenticity.

Life as a trans/intersex person isn’t just about identity, it’s about survival, truth, and refusing to shrink. I wrote about authenticity, trauma, and the cost of living real. Read it. Share it. Feel it.

Liberation isn’t a vibe. It’s a reckoning.
We don’t center comfort, we center truth.
I’m not here to be palatable. I’m here to be free.
And I want everyone who’s been cast out or called “too much” to be free with me. #LiberationNow #PrideWasARiot #Trans 🏳️‍⚧️

Pride Was A Riot Why it matters and How to Truly Show up

Pride isn’t a party. It’s a protest. It started with a riot, and we’re still fighting. We’re here, we’re loud, and we’re not shrinking to make anyone comfortable. Show up. Speak out. Stand with us not just in June. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏽 #PrideWasARiot #QueerResistance

A bold, cheeky graphic with Progress Pride flags in each corner and sparkles scattered around. The central text reads: “Wishing all the homophobes & transphobes A SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE MONTH.” The Instagram handle @RADICALBUTTONS is written at the bottom left. The tone is unapologetically queer and defiant in celebration of Pride Month.

Allyship isn’t identity its impact. This video slideshow walks through my article in Hush LGBTQ Magazine on effective vs harmful allyship. Read each slide. Reflect. Then show up. 🏳️‍⚧️

#BeyondGoodIntentions #TransIsBeautiful #AllyshipAccountability

We’re here, we’re queer and we aren’t fucking going anywhere! #Pridemonth #Trans 🏳️‍⚧️

As Mental Health Month is coming to an end and Pride begins, remember: we’re more than a logo. Uplift real voices. Ditch performative allyship. Pride isn’t a trend it’s truth, protest, survival. Listen, act, and let us speak for ourselves. #TransLivesMatter 🏳️‍⚧️ #PrideWasARiot

To my trans siblings, You are sacred, powerful, not alone, and you are not disposable. We come from fighters and we are still here.
To cis people who say they love us:
This is your moment.
It’s not enough to be an ally in theory.
If you love a trans person, prove it. Show up. Speak! #Trans 🏳️‍⚧️

I’m in the process of rewriting my books because I want to add some new things to them my goal is to get it rereleased by the end of the year! #BookSky
