Trans people tend to be much more aware of death.
We all know about the 41%. The hard nights.
Wondering if your friend will be there in the morning.
Unsure some days if you want to.

We don't fear death in the same way others do.
It's a solemn comfort, but also a threat.
The risk of one final insult. An injustice to our name.
We fear that they will hide our truth. The one so dear.

A Good Death is something to cherish.
A rarity for us.
I want to be present at my funeral,
A final goodbye to bonds forged over years.

So talk about it.
Make your wishes heard.
Find solace in knowing that you are not alone.
Merry met, and merry parting, and merry meet again.
