They Say There's A Time And Place For Everything

Hey! Just finished tagging most of that stuff as 'poem', so ya can find it better. I took 'poetry' pretty liberally here, but I'm sure I still missed something.. BTW the next person to follow me will be the 200. so .. THANKS <3

//stay tuned for more convenience-tags

People point out the dreadful John/Joan case, (dr. Money did do useful research in his time too, but, ew) and somehow frame it as evidence against trans people. Absurd, since the results are actually proof, that neither sex & biological factors, nor the environment (upbringing, social roles etc.) affect our gender -just the extend to which we're comfortable expressing & discussing it. Poor David was a boy. He didn't turn into a girl, despite the sex reassignment surgeries, and being shoved into the feminine mold by his social surroundings. Which made him extremely uncomfortable. (I won't go into details, the life of the Reimer twins was a tragedy, but do read up, if you're interested.)

I've heard some extreme people claim we're 'making people (think they're) trans', or encouraging children to have surgery. I've never heard this happen, but it exists in these people's minds. I would agree; it's a terrible idea to actively try & change someone's gender experience. We shouldn't be messing with children's healthy genitals. No one should be forced to abide by gender roles. Thing is, that's exactly what the world is currently doing to many trans & intersex (as well as cis) kids. I wish the general public would understand how crucial this is.

feeling blue, wishing you were too though not too much -just enough, so you knew

I might be suffering from a really unhealthy family-addiction

how completely average and cisgender of me to write pages on pages about why I deserve to have surgery..

This election is one of the most important political events of the century. You're not just voting for yourself, your circle, your state, or even your country -you're voting for the entire world. America needs someone who represents the true majority, someone who'll do their job not just as a figure, but a doer. Someone, who'll take responsibility over matters.

The US president is a very influential person. The next to carry that title will have incredible control over a lot of important issues in the coming year alone.

Please, use your heads, use your voices and most importantly, use your votes, 'cause you can & we're counting on you to make a wise decision.
