"This was my first trans march. I had never been to one, and so it was really important because, I guess this was like the first year I have been more out, I guess as like trans or like non-binary, gender nonconforming. I've kind of talked about it before, but I've never been to the trans march, I've never really had, like, tied a trans flag around me and paraded around. And so, it was kind of a big deal. And I also took a picture of a pin that I wore, which is like a brain and it's like in the colours of the trans flag. And I posted it online. And so, I would say this represents my in-person life, like around my friends in my community, but also online, because I think I'm, especially like on Instagram and Twitter, I am a big advocate for LGBTQ visibility, especially in STEM, which is like program like you and (inaudible). So I posted this online and I have a lot of people on Twitter that follow me who are from these communities. So like people in science, who are also like LGBTQ, and some of them here from U of T but also some from elsewhere, like in the States or in other countries. So, it's nice to have that online community. And I think that kind of right is one side of who I am online is being a big advocate. [...] In the past four years, I felt very isolated. I didn't know how to combine sort of my queer trans identity and some of my more like, just like my activist identity with my class identity. I did it because there's not a lot of space in psych to talk about more like radical topics. There's not a lot of space to talk about things like homophobia, transphobia, ableism, racism, or at least I find that my classmates are very resistant to talking about these things." – Anonymous
