I saw the tv glow

I saw the TV glow is a metaphor for realizing you’re transgender. The “glow” represents the moment of clarity or self-awareness about being trans, but turning off the TV or unplugging it means suppressing or hiding that truth due to fear or societal pressure. Letting the TV glow means embracing your true self. Inspired by the horror movie I Saw the TV Glow, which many interpret as an allegory for trans identity and the struggle to live authentically.

I saw the TV glow, and this time, I didn’t turn it off. I’m letting it shine because I’m ready to live as my true self.
