“i tell my abortion story for a myriad of reasons. some of the most important reasons i share my story are that there are not that many open trans people speaking about having had abortions. i am able to be visible and bring attention to the fact that people other than women have abortions. i want other trans people to be able to see themselves in the reproductive justice movement. i also feel like every time i tell my story i take a little bit of power back for myself. it’s my story and i get to tell it how i want to.”
