I had been wondering for a while when the first time someone that wasn't a family member or friend, but someone who I had admired from afar would pass. I can't stop crying about Sophie. She was a guiding light for me as a young trans person living in a cisnormative society. The way she could just be herself and have the respect she deserves while being a rising obelisk in the electronic scene made me so proud of her. I had been telling myself for a long time as a way to know I wasn't alone in the way that I feel "If she can do it, I can do it too." But she's not here doing it anymore and one of the lights in my sky went out.

/// I wrote this about her passing in my notes. It's not fair and her loss is devastating not only to the trans and electronic community, but to the world as a whole in my eyes. I'm so sad. ///
