From across the ocean, in a land where the waves greet the shores with peace, I write to you, my crossdresser, transgender and gender-diverse siblings, with love, hope, and the deepest prayers for your safety and happiness. Here in Aotearoa, New Zealand, we are far away in miles, but never in spirit. You are seen. You are cherished. You are never alone.

I know that right now, the weight of the world may feel unbearable. The air around you may feel heavy with voices that try to drown out your truth, laws that seek to erase you, and fears that should never have a place in a life meant for joy. But I need you to hear this, to hold onto it tightly. No law, no hatred, no attempt to diminish you can ever change the truth of who you are. You are real. You are worthy. You are a light in this world that no darkness can extinguish.

History has shown that those who shine the brightest often face the harshest storms. But the storm will pass. It always does. And when it does, you will still be standing, stronger, more radiant, and freer than ever before. Because nothing can erase you. Nothing can take away the beauty of your existence.

Here in New Zealand, we do not face the same struggles that you do. We have the privilege of living as our true selves without constant fear. And it breaks my heart that this is not yet true for all of you. But please, let my words be a small beacon of light: there are places in this world where you are embraced without hesitation, where safety is not a privilege but a given, where your identity is not debated but celebrated. And though the road ahead may seem long, I believe with all my heart that your country, too, will one day know this peace.

Until that day, know this, there are people fighting for you, standing with you, loving you, even from across the world. Your existence is a miracle. Your happiness is not too much to ask for. Your safety is a right, not a privilege. And no matter what anyone says, you belong here.

So please, take care of yourselves. Hold each other close. Find joy in the trivial things, in the laughter of friends, in the quiet moments of self-love, in the dreams of a future where you are free. That future is coming. And until then, I and so many others will be holding you in our hearts, sending love across the sea, praying for your protection, and standing beside you in spirit.

With all my love,

Catherine Anne Vos (She, Her)

Your sister in New Zealand 💜🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@cathyanne Thank you Cat. Life has had curve balls thrown at it, from every side, every where, by someone, for as long as people have been on this planet. Our ancestors beat the odds, and I suspect we will beat them yet again. May not be today, or next week, or month, but in the end, we will persevere. One of the cornerstones in helping get through the tough times, are the words of support and encouragement we get from others. Heart felt words are always welcomed. Hugs,

Catherine thank you for your thoughtfulness we are living in trying times. One must always be vigilant. We must not live in fear that aloud minority in the ruling party will make life harder for us. I must hope in the next 2 years things will get better.

Well said Catherine. These are dark times for our American sisters. It’s a great reminder of the importance of staying united and supporting each other no matter where our sisters are.

@leadinglady yes. That is so true, thank you. We can just support those who’s facing troubled times even if we are far but in our thoughts and messages of hope.

Take care.

Love and hugs, xx

I appreciate your wise words, Cathy, and I sympathize with your message. Here, too, I am not sure about the situation. Darkness is upon us and that has me very worried, and at the same time, I feel helpless. I just hope it doesn't affect my spring plans.

I am me and my circumstances, yesterday, now and until my end.

There will be a day when I will leave, but I will never cease to be.
