Mariposa 🦋
To remind myself gender can change the way bodies can transition.

My stories of border transition –be those of gender or nation– are so intertwined I couldn't imagine one without the other. It was until I moved far from my birthplace that I was able to fully explore my gender. I know this is also the case for many people, yet I'm also deeply aware that for both transgender and transnational people border crossing has become more and more criminalized. In both cases, these made up distinctions are upheld through violent means enacted against those who transgress them. It's clear to me we won't be free until we abolish them and let people move freely between them

Text transcription will also be posted in a comment. Do let me know if there are any suggestions to improve accessibility!
