I didn’t recognize myself when I opened this month’s Emmy Magazine to find this photo (shot by the brilliant Robert Ashcroft). This posture and strength don’t come naturally to me, having spent my entire life pouring my thoughts and emotions into pianos and computers, hunched over, dreaming. I’m so grateful for the folks who noticed my dreams and taught me to stand up to make them my reality. They all gave me different bits of wisdom, but the thing that every one of them said to me over and over was, “keep going.” Today’s a good day to remember that. KEEP GOING! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Never thot I’d feel this way. Cancún

Every year on this day, couples flaunt their vulgar heterosexuality right in front of my face as if I’m not even there. The sight of so many long-stemmed roses makes my stomach turn, knowing that I have to live in a world that encourages this kind of unnatural behavior.
I couldn’t sleep at all last night, thinking about the vanilla sex positions these couples must bore themselves with while downing glasses of Prosecco and feeding each other chocolate-covered strawberries. The thought that procreation occurs as a result of this sickness is enough to send me to the hospital.
I consider myself to be a fairly close-minded person, a quality that took years of hardening and bitchery to develop. But as time goes by, I find it harder and harder to tell straight folks to fuck off to their faces. I’m not proud of it, but I just don’t have the same passion I used to have for calling people out on their delusions. Sadly, I’ve been polite and nice to every couple I’ve come across today. Feeling pretty lost about it all, as you can imagine, but I’m grateful for your support. You all really keep me going. #valentinesday #satire
It’s Trans Awareness Week! To start us off, here’s a throwback of @lavernecox and I living our best lives at the Emmys this year. Sometimes laughter and sisterhood/siblinghood is all you need to push back against the voices who say your existence isn’t valid. Because of sisters like Laverne, I’ve learned to stand up tall and take space in this world, demanding nothing but the best for my life and for the lives of my trans community. What are some ways that you celebrate your existence? L.A. LIVE
It was an honor to come out and support @GLSEN at this weekend’s Respect Awards. The work that this organization does makes a lifelong impact on young LGBTQ+ folks across the country, ensuring that they have safe spaces in order to learn, create, and build a bright future. I’m so inspired by the stories I heard from the students ❤️ #respectawards #transisbeautiful #lgbt #protecttranslives Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel

I can’t believe the Emmys were a month ago today! I still feel so much explosive love when I think about @theebillyporter’s acceptance speech. Missing my @poseonfx fam! #posefx #transisbeautiful #emmys
“Future of Us” is an homage to my ancestors who lived, loved, and worked hard to give me the tools to survive in these trying times. When I think of their histories, I’m filled with a duty to be present in life, for myself and for others. A mindless existence would be a degradation of all their sacrifices. When I’m overwhelmed by life’s suffering, I call upon them to lead and protect me. Under their protection, I’m able to face the chaos without judgement or fear, which ultimately brings me face to face with the mystery of love. This, I pray, is the Future of Us. The Future of Us will be available on all music streaming platforms starting May 7.

Thank you for coming out to my shows, NYC and LA. What started as a way to fill my creative time during the strike turned out to be a reminder of how much I’ve missed connecting with you through live performance. Though I’m back to work on my screenwriting projects, you’ve reminded me that I’ve gotta keep the music going. Love you all so much.
And thank you @dylanmulvaney for being the most amazing musical guest!! You are a musical theatre STAR.
