Yesterday I stood alongside trans youth, parents, activists and our community @genderlib outside Mount Sinai @mountsinaimedicalcenter after the hospital agreed to stop providing gender affirming care to young trans people.

What I witnessed was heartbreaking, but also powerful. Young people stood up and told their stories. Parents fought for their children. Trans people showed up for one another and reminded the world that our lives are not bargaining chips to be traded for political favor or federal funding.

I know what it means to fight for spaces where trans people can simply exist, whether that has been building Savage Ranch @savageranch in Transmecula, opening the Doll Haus @dollhausla in Los Angeles, or standing on the streets of New York City. I have learned that when institutions abandon us, community becomes our institution.

We have survived because generations of dolls fought like hell for the generation that came after them. Now it is our responsibility to do the same.

To every trans kid watching adults debate whether you deserve access to care, dignity and a future, I want you to know there is an entire community standing behind you.

We are here. We have always been here. And we are not going anywhere.

Protect trans youth. Protect the dolls. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

“I’ve been in touch with my femininity for the longest time, but now I’m starting to embrace my masculine side,” Alexey told me as we walked along the Hudson River on a recent August evening. The sun was setting, and there was already a slight chill in the air, signaling the end of summer.

As we walked, Alexey opened up about his father’s rejection of his sexuality and his disappointment that his son would not continue their family bloodline. Over the years, this trauma manifested as physical pain on the right side of his body, a side traditionally associated with male energy.

“I’ve recently realized that I have to release this physical and mental trauma. I do it through strength training and meditation. It has given me the confidence to explore roles and behaviors in my relationships that are often viewed as more masculine.”

We took some photos by the weeping willow and birch trees, which reminded us both of home and our shared roots in the former Soviet Union. “This is the place I come to feel grounded and at peace,” Alexey told me. It made me think about the many layers and complexities of being queer and an immigrant. About what it means to come full circle, to reconcile different parts of oneself and find a sense of wholeness and healing.

Baby we are on Times Square!

When I first picked up my camera in 2017 I never dreamed of earning any money with it, let alone one day being featured on a Times Square billboard.

This moment is so significant to share with my mom and close friends. As first generation immigrants we came to this country to realize our dreams. And one of mine just became real.

@marybethbarone you are having a huge moment and you deserve all of the success you are getting. Thank you for bringing me on board and making me part of your legacy. 🌹

Galaxy Brain out on @netflix now!

P.S. Huge thanks to my bestie @theniwokeup_ for the assist on the day of the taping and on the post. 😘
