​Have you met fashion model and androgynous activist Rain Dove? Have you ever been confused about her identity or the differences between transgender, non binary, and androgyny or how to respect people who identify as such? Rain and I made a video explaining our identities and the differences between them. I’m so excited for the future of fashion and film because people like Rain are making a positive influence. We need more representation in media of people who defy labels and our society's beliefs in gender. As a trans woman gender means something to me. She advocates for a gender revolution, but do we believe the same thing? 

I just wanted to also say she is such a delightful person. So good at listening and eager to help others. Her friends and the people at tomboyx / =X were also really kind! Thank you Rain for taking time to hangout with me and more importantly thank you for being visible and for being yourself.
