How "Pose" Deepened My Understanding of Queer Experiences as a Straight, Cis Woman.
I remember stumbling upon Pose one night after hearing it hyped up all over Twitter. I didn’t know much about the show except that it was groundbreaking for its portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, particularly Black and brown trans women. As a straight,cis woman, I thought I was already pretty open-minded, having grown up in an era where inclusivity is mostly celebrated. But I didn’t realize just how superficial my understanding of queer experiences was until Pose.

Reflections of Me: A Moment of Recognition
I remember the first time I caught a glimpse of myself on screen. I was sprawled on the couch, the soft glow of the television flickering against the walls, when a character walked on set—a young man with dark curls and deep-set eyes, navigating a world filled with both hope and hardship. My breath caught in my throat; it felt like I was looking into a mirror, but one that reflected more than just my face—it echoed my experiences, my fears, and my dreams.

Being Transgender
I came out to my grandmother yesterday. I told her, “I’m transgender.” We talked about it and she told me a few times during out talk that she loved me the same and needed time to get used to using new vocabulary to describe me. She asked me questions about myself and about my relationships. She asked me what I wanted from her, so that she could show how much she loves me. It was pretty great.

A Seat of Kindness
The bus was crowded, packed tighter than sardines in a can. I was clinging to the overhead rail, balancing my grocery bags, when I saw her. A young woman, maybe in her early twenties, with headphones on and a distant look in her eyes, seemed lost in thought as the bus lurched forward. She had a tiredness about her, a kind of weariness that seemed to settle into her bones.

Every challenge, every setback is a battle.
Prioritizing Self-Care Remember, self-care isn't selfish; it's essential. Schedule regular breaks, indulge in hobbies, and ensure sufficient sleep. A balanced life is crucial for mental and emotional well-being. Seek support from friends, family, or professionals when needed. Your mental health is as important as your physical health. Prioritize it.
