Being a trans woman happily married to a cis woman living in the USA I feel like I am living the timeline of a character in V for Vendetta. I watched this movie innumerable in my youth, and it’s always held a special place in my heart as I’ve aged and watched it every year on the 5th of November. Now that I’m coming up on my 3rd year watching it as a Woman and living a life with joy I didn’t know imaginable, I can’t help but reflect on the plot. But every time I do I have an immense out of body influence that I am the wife of the women jailed next to V who was rounded up and taken away first… I have no intention of allowing that to be my fate and if it is my fate I’m oddly at peace with it cause I am finally living and seeing life in full color and at peace with my existence, but I had to get it off my chest, hope you are ok fellow human. :3
It’s funny because there are so many LGBTQ people but also so many Muslims and it’s basically a party city, not unsafe and with a good, friendly vibe. Like, I’m quite literally a Muslim immigrant recently married and I have two super chill, stoner trans coworkers who cook some mean food. The city is cool in my recent and incomplete opinion… rent is a bitch, though. 🤣
