Defiantly Ourselves Tonight

I’ve always been someone who embraces my identity and my choices. Last night, with my partner’s blessings under our open relationship agreement, I spent the evening with someone else, a friend turned something more, but only when we both agree it fits the moment. It was just about pleasure and connection, no hidden motives or plans for beyond that night. The defiant part isn’t just about being trans and finding joy in who I am; it’s about choosing to share my life fully with those around me, even if some days society tries to stifle that. Sometimes I get lost thinking about how different things could be without these freedoms but then snap back to the reality of tonight, a good time with friends and a reminder of why I cherish my choices.
