Transgender Day of Visibility is a day to celebrate trans identity and the resilience of trans people. But while visibility has increased, so has hateful rhetoric. Which means that for many, like Juneau's Jane Hale, coming out isn’t only about themselves.
But Jane Hale is not afraid to be in the spotlight.Hale came out as trans in February, at the age of 69. And she did it in a rather bold way: through a“I mean, it sounds cliched, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” she said. “I’ve been hiding this for so many years.”
“It’s a parable about our individual insufficiency, a story about allowing others to help us. Whatever you have to do, you don’t have to do it alone. You can rely on others for aid and comfort,” she wrote. “For me, the story has become a transgender parable, a story about dying as one ‘self’ to become another: giving up the identity the culture has saddled you with and discovering a self that feels more authentic and true.
