Indira and Gladys 2025 Simply SEEN Participants
I’m Indira, a Mexican lesbian, tomboy with feminine energy, and someone who’s learned to live unapologetically. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been mine. Soccer and hiking aren’t just hobbies, they’re how I connect to my body, my culture, and my resilience. My vegan lifestyle is a daily act of care and conviction, rooted in compassion and aligned with my values.
Coming out was a turning point, but the real transformation came when I stopped waiting for acceptance and started creating it. My sister has been my anchor, my biggest supporter, and a reminder that love, real love, sees you fully. That’s what I want this photo session to reflect: not just who I am, but how I’ve fought to be here.
I want to feel empowered when I look at these photos, but more than that, I want others in the LGBTQ+ community to see themselves in my story. To know that being seen is a right, not a privilege.
This isn’t just about me. It’s about honoring every queer person who’s still finding their voice, still claiming their space. I hope my story reminds them, and all of society, that we belong, we matter, and we’re worth celebrating.
