You are loved, appreciated, and most importantly, valid.

You are no worse than a cis-gendered person, and you certainly deserve the same rights we have, and I'm saying this as a cis-female.

And despite what either your family or peers might believe about your gender identity, how they deny your existence on the basis of religion or pure ignorance, I want you to know that doesn't define who you are.

You aren't strange.

You aren't wrong to think this way.

You aren't suffering from a mental illness that makes you think this way.

There's nothing wrong with you.

God doesn't hate you (and I'm saying this as an atheist.)

Science validates your existence.

You, no matter the gender identity, are human beings. And I'm glad you're alive to spread true pride throughout the world. No matter where you might be sitting and reading, I appreciate and care for every single one of you.

Happy Trans Visibility Day! <3
