All that time I thought that the closest was my "safe space” when it was in fact just the world's least comfortable studio apartment. I prefer an open floor plan with lots of natural light and fresh air. Live authentically, live better.

Confirmed: children sniff out being fake and inauthenticity like pigs sniff out truffles. Gone are the days of do as I say and not as I do. Good Riddance. Authenticity for the win

I used to think my unapologetic authenticity and unique energy were bugs, but plot twist: they're actually the features . Patch your software, people, it’s 2025.

I spent 40 years on the hide-who-you-are diet and can confirm: zero nutritional value. Pro tipβ€”life's short...eat the cake, buy the dress, be your authentic self and never apologize for it.

β€œMix” Don Mamone sounds like the DJ we need at Pride. Sorry, old school formalities, there’s a new beat in town. #SpinGenderRoles

So, let me make sure I have this straight. We’re all supposed to be unique, but if you actually act unique, everyone side-eyes you like you just brought kale chips to a pizza party. Authenticity: harder than quantum physics.

Fun fact: being real is like going off script in a Marvel movieβ€”suddenly, everyone’s invested. Just call me Iron Human (may not have the same ring to it)

Apparently, the real glow-up isn’t skincare, it’s just telling everyone you don’t need to apologize for yourself. Sorry, not sorry for being β€œtoo much.”

Honoring folks with empathy and compassion instead of β€œsir/ma’am”? The world would explodeβ€”kindness is dangerous stuff! #RevolutionaryRespect

We can invent the iPhone but not a gender-neutral sir/ma’am? Step up, English language. Emojis are more advanced than honorifics at this point. πŸ“±πŸš€

I was at a pro-democracy rally in Dallas this last weekend and there were so many powerful messages on the signs people made. This one was one of my favorites though.

I am hosting my first ever book reading and signing event at Opening Bell Coffee on Sunday, April 27 at 12PM. I scheduled this event to create a little hope, joy and fun at a time when it seems like people could use them. Hope you can make it. If not, order your copy and I will mail it to you.

@juliejohnsontx.bsky.social look forward to your town hall tonight. Desperately seeking hope & encouragement. It’s time for the Democratic Party to aggressively protect & defend transgender Americans from an administration & political party that has demonized them & made their lives less safe .

I attended a peaceful pro-democracy rally. I was sad there weren’t more people but I was encouraged to see a diversity among them that clearly illustrated that people from all walks of life, age and experience are done with this nonsense.

Authenticity for the win! Everytime πŸ₯°

β€œI realized I had an addiction to inauthenticityβ€”living life as a β€˜traditional man.’ It took me years to find myself and lead my best life." Tune in to the latest Was It Chance episode with @donmamone.com . A much needed beautiful, uplifting conversation. open.spotify.com/episode/2Q42...

So, let me make sure I have this straight. According to The White Lotus the only thing that is off limits this season is a Trans storyline. It’s been reported that they cut it after the election. The palpable shift in sentiment is clear seeing as how MAX is the platform that brought us Euphoria.

"Amidst all of our beautiful differences, we are united in the common desire to be the authors of our own story. We’re all hoping for the freedom to tell the world who we are and the confidence to protect what we want, the conviction to defy permission and the courage to disregard expectation."

Education starts with conversation. Welcome to LGBTQ&A. Have a question, ask a question and let’s fight ignorance with knowledge. #lgbtq

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility to all trans people & each and every person that loves them! I hope you come to understand that your identity is not now & never will be based on other people's willingness to see you. You are valid, enough and deserved to be loved beyond measure.

If someone chose not to see me, that didn’t mean I was invisible; it meant they were blind. -Don Mamone Different Doesn't Mean Broken Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility to us and to all those that love us! #instalove #equality #trans #lgbtq #trans #transgender #nonbinary #queer

A special election taking place on April Fool’s Day is the most 2025 thing that has happened so far this year πŸ™„πŸ˜³πŸ€¬

Together, with the support of the team's leadership, the Pride ERG and I were able to educate and inspire an audience of people ready to learn and grow in love and with compassion for their fellow human.

The Milwaukee Bucks serve as an example to us all and I am very happy and proud to have them as a client. I hope they are just as happy to have me as a fan. #personalgrowth #motivation #selfdevelopment,

Right now, it feels like misinformation & disinformation about transgender, nonbinary & gender non-conforming people is at an all time high. Right now, anti-LGBTQIA2S+ legislation is being introduced at alarming levels. Right now, there is a community of people that are sad, scared and intimidated.

Right now, there are allies and advocates that will not watch it happen. Right now, there are countless people that will not let this happen without a fight. Right now, there is hope on the horizon becuase of organizations like The Milwaukee Bucks

This week I traveled to the midwest to present my keynote The Future is Fluid to The Milwaukee Bucks. When they hired me, they proved that they are eager to continue their commitment to creating more welcoming and safer spaces for transgender, nonbinary and gender non-conforming people

in their workforce, fan base & community. This is a bright shining light of hope at a time when too many organizations are unfortunately scaling back or eliminating their diversity, equity & inclusion efforts. Each of my speaking engagements is a cherished opportunity to create impact and change.

@heathervickery.bsky.social said I’ve been quiet on here and she’s right. It’s been a busy and hectic life keeping up with all the ways that the country is falling apart all the while being a beacon of light and hope in these all too dark times. It’s hard being me 🀣 #nonbinary #speaker #author

Here I go again stepping further out onto that unsteady branch further from the safety of the tree's trunk. I've scheduled my first ever book reading and signing for Different Doesn't Mean Broken. I am equal parts intimidated and excited. I hope you can join me. Click the link in bio for more in

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.
