Thank You for Loving With Us

4/5/2018

 
Last month was an important one for me. March 21, marked eight years since I was publicly outed at the conservative Christian university where I was a first year undergraduate. This heart-breaking experience changed my life forever. Yet, as I reflected on the near decade I have spent living my truth I know I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I haven’t made this journey alone. I have been fortunate to be joined in this journey by some great friends.

On my anniversary I had lunch with a dear friend who was instrumental in my journey toward acceptance. It was she who first posed the question, “If you could be whoever you wanted to be, no consequences or pain, who would you be?” The answer was simple: Darcy. As we talked through the last eight years, I realized that every step of my transition has been an act of love.

Because love is the only thing I’ve ever wanted.

I started the process of accepting myself, and was ultimately outed, because I fell in love with a guy friend at university. It was through his eyes that I was finally able to see myself and to accept that I was worthy of happiness. In the aftermath of losing everything, including him, it was love that kept me moving forward and kept me alive. Love for who I am and who I could become.

And it is love that motivates the work I do as an advocate for the transgender community.

Everything we do at the Foundation is motivated by the simple philosophy that everyone should be treated with dignity, everyone deserves justice, and anything is possible with courage. And our volunteer staff give their time, energy, and talents to the community because they believe this simple, yet profound, philosophy. And we do what we do because we love the people we are helping to become better versions of who’ve they always been.

Thank you for loving with us.
