We are all guilty of taking selfies. If you say you aren't, you are lying to yourself. And we also know that the one picture that you post to Instagram has 20+ companions that are (to no surprise) extremely similar, yet you declare this one to be the perfect one. So, without further ado, here are the 32 stages of taking a selfie:

1. Mmmm ok girl, you are lookin' gooood today!

If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
