For more about Natalie, listen to her music projects, The English Muffins Band and Rotundo Sealeg on bandcamp.com, and find her frog and tarot accounts on Instagram: @toddandblinky and @midcoasttarot.
On Trans Day of Visibility this year, Natalie Oldham, a musician and artist who lives on Islesboro, sparked my interest with a joyous Facebook post. She wrote, in part: “It’s #transdayofvisibility! I am a #transwoman and use she/her pronouns. Why is Trans Day of Visibility important? We used to only have Trans Day of Remembrance, during which we mourn all of the trans people who were murdered because of transphobia over the past year. Very important, but also very sad. #tdov was set up as a counterpart half a year away from TDOR so we could celebrate while we’re still here.” First started in 2009, the International Trans Day of Visibility has been celebrated ever since, on March 31. On social media, Natalie has impressed me with her yo-yo tricks, frog friends, rockstar hair and outfits, vulnerable authenticity, and lion-hearted bravery. We talked by email about growing up in midcoast Maine, frogs, feminism, solidarity, transgender rights — and I asked her to pull a few Tarot cards relating to our transition out of this grueling pandemic.
