We are not a topic for debate or some headline in the news, we are more…

We are vital members of the communities where we live and work. From delivery drivers and engineers to doctors and retail workers, we contribute in countless ways—but above all, we are human.

As a delivery driver, every interaction with the countless people I meet each day gives me the opportunity to represent not only the company I work for but also the transgender community.

This provides a unique chance to break down barriers, as for some, I may be their first encounter with a transgender individual. It allows me to show that we are dedicated, hardworking, and here to make a difference—just like anyone else.

In a world where misunderstanding and misinformation persist, our visibility as transgender individuals is powerful.

We’re not just here to get by- we’re here to live freely, share our journeys, and encourage others to do more than just exist, but to live.
