When I walk into the climbing gym and I see a pride and a trans flag prominently displayed, that tells me something.
When I sign up for your event and the form has a place for pronouns, that tells me something.
When I walk by your desk and see a trans pin nestled amongst your personal stuff, that tells me something.
When you hang a progress pride flag in your front window, that tells me something.
Maybe you can’t back any of that up. Maybe it’s just words. Maybe you’ll run when the danger comes. But those things tell me that you’ve at least thought about me and where I am, even a little bit. I’m not going to build my foundation on them, but I will see them.
