I'm late to transgender awareness week and to TDOV, but life has been difficult for me recently. It is through that difficulty that I want to post this, however, so please excuse my lateness.

Jujube, my cat of almost 9 years, has been missing for 2 months. I still have hope I might see him again one day, but after searching without result, winter weather upon us, wild animals, cars, and a medical condition he has, I'm not so sure I will be seeing him again. It breaks my heart; he is my best friend... But that isn't really the point of this post.

I want to tell you something about my years with Jujube. I got him when I was about 19 years old, and I am now 28. In those earlier years, I was really rapid-cycling through my identity. I wasn't sure who I was, as many of us aren't. I tried on many different labels, some of which I don't even remember. He was with me through every step of me figuring out who I am— a lesbian, agender lesbian, genderfluid, struggles with bisexuality, realizing I'm a transgender man who is bisexual, struggles with asexuality, feeling i'm totally grey-aro asexual, realizing I'm not only a transgender man, but a whole cacophony of nonbinary genders that are complex and difficult to describe as well making me multi-gendered, and that I do have romantic attraction; that I can be bisexual and grey-asexual, and that's all fine. He was with me when I came out to my family as transgender, he was with me in the years after when my identity started to settle, even if I am still always learning things about myself and likely always will. New discoveries of nonbinary feelings, sexual attraction feelings that seem to come and go unexpectedly, I expect them in the future. But mostly, I know who I am, and I like who I am, and I like that I know who I am.

Through all of this; the confusion, the hardships, the constant misgendering, those slow to adapt to my identity, and the constant worry of being LGBT in this world.

Through all of it, he was simply happy to be my friend. He wanted to be around me. He wanted me to talk to him, and snuggle him, and love him. As a cat, he couldn't give less of a fuck about the human concepts of gender and sexuality. He didn't care about me shaving my head because it made me feel more masculine, or the clothing I wore, or the name I changed to. All he cared about was my, and anyone else who shared time with him's, kindness. He was my truest friend I could rely on through everything, because to him, I was merely a friend. A human being who looked after him. I can't ever thank him enough for that.

Jujube may be with us in this world still; I may get to snuggle him once again, just like always.

Jujube may also be in a world beyond us, where I cannot reach.

In either case, he is always with me, and I am always with him, through love. Forever.

We see so much terrible news about the people like us, because our lives are put in such terrible danger in a society consumed by hatred. Whether it be other people hurting us, or our dear departed who could not handle the stresses of it any longer. We grieve our siblings, our friends, our heroes, our community, our kids, our family. It makes it much harder for us to continue on in this world, but we must remember them, grieve them, celebrate them. We must seek justice for them, seek justice for all of us. We are human beings.

And we must remember that they are with us, and we are with them, through love. Forever.

I share Jujube with you during these times, and any times you're finding it difficult in this world, and within yourself.

I share Jujube with you when you are unsure, when you are finding your identity, and finding your happiness, even if you're not sure how or when you will find it.

Through all transitional periods, through all heartbreak, through all confusion, through all grief, through all stress, through all joy, through all of life.

If ever you need someone, someone who cares purely about your heart, your love, and your kindness— which is not to say that rage, and despair, and frustration are not important feelings for those in our respective situations, particularly those who face intersectional violence, and that to other humans who have nothing but vitriol for and dismissal of you, you must always be kind— but the kindness within yourself. The kindness you would show to an animal who merely sees you as a human being. An animal who overcomes the fear of befriending a giant allowing you to pet them. An animal who is willing to fall asleep beside you, even in your arms, purring away.

If you ever need that kind of friend, know that Jujube is always with you, too. And you are with him. Through love. Forever.

He is your friend, always. He supports you, always.

*As an additional note, I know many terrible people have had pets that they loved, and their pets love them. I also know that animals can be trained to inflict violence (such as police dogs,) and that the hatred and discrimination of pets' owners can rub off on them. Those are things to absolutely be aware of, and are very dangerous.

But I do want to share this post of my Jujube, my story with him, because it helps my grief to pass on his friendship to others. If you need someone who loves you, always, Jujube loves you, always.
