Trans folks need self love, and I'm not talking about masturbation. Here's a couple of helpful ways for us queers to indulge in positivity and self love.
Sometimes, we need to be reminded that not everyone is cisgender. It's helpful to read trans-centric work, make your own art or explore the creations of other tans people.
Find an animal — preferrably domesticated — and give it some serious attention and a good belly rub. If you don't have a pet, someone you know will surely let you snuggle with theirs. That positive interaction will give you life.
Organize a dinner party or a queer brunch. Start a trans book club or host a scary movie night. Creating bonds that don't depend on alcohol, drugs or your phone is a good thing.
While it may be cliché, you should look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Damn, I am sexy!" at least once a day. And, share your trans hotness with the world (or your friends and family) on Instagram.
