The upside to all of this is that I think I don’t have to be the invisible man anymore, always having to explain and defend my fragile identity. I can be a highly visible female and I can believe in equality. I can use non-neutral and non-male pronouns for myself and still expect to be treated like a human being. I can rock my personhood and just like what I like, and if I’m treated...

I think I just edited my last post at least 15 times. It’s hard to talk about gender, and even harder to advocate for myself.

"The idea of a monster is incredibly trustworthy."

I really tried to self-censor and I tried to sleep on it. But all of the presumptuous, patronizing men in my life just need to GTFO. I am not making a sweeping generalization about people out in the world. Almost all of the men and transmen in my life are driving me up the walls with their behavior. My own gender identity is broken. Or fixed, if you’re an erasing asshole. Why? Because this...

finally had time to sit down and finish Everything is Illuminated. Feel like I missed something, which sucks because I wanted to live inside most of the book. But Sasha’s father…? Assholes being pushy and needy on OkStupid without ever really knowing me. I have every right not to want to meet you in person or take as long as I want to answer you. Seriously. Too many potential weekend...

Fuck it. It’s a make-a-bowl-of-frosting-and-eat-it-plain kind of night.

polaraxis: cruelbaroness replied to your post: Hopefully tomorrow and next wednesday I’ll have… Good luck, and *hugs*. We do have to hang out at some point soon, at least so I can get your wooden bowl back to you. Though worst comes to worst I suppose it can wait for the Baroness/Meshuggah show. I hope it won’t be that long! I don’t think I’m that busy. Honestly, this weekend would be an...

today was really rough on a lot of different levels. but maybe things will be better with my family now that I’ve gotten 6 years of trauma off my chest? also, I wonder if you can see how you make it hard for me to breathe and I always feel like crying or jumping or singing for you. Or maybe checking my emotions around you just looks like creepy awkwardness and stuck-upitude.

I should be happy. Fantastic thrift store haul today— one pair midcalf multiple buckle winklepicker boots, size 11 womens two wool jackets: one black militaryesque with extra warm sweater underlayer and lots of shiny buttons, one teal plaid with clawlike toggles and voluminous hood one free copy of The Road, because I am a masochist and the person who helped me at checkout forgot to ring...

Advice Columnist Smacks Down Biphobe: Dear Lady A:...

bisexual-community: DEAR LADY A: The people I know who claim they’re bi are attention-seeking and creepy. I honestly think, of the “bisexuals” I know, the guys are just gays who can’t emotionally handle being gay, and the women are trying to keep potential boyfriends interested with the promise of threesomes. Are actual bisexuals even real? If so, where are they hiding? ~~ Real Homo,...

Hm. It’s kind of odd to me that a self-portrait wrapped up in a whole hell of a lot of personal mythology was just accepted into a Gorillaz fan group gallery. And not only that, a gallery relating to a fanfic I have never read. I am not opposed to this. It’s just…odd. But hey, Gorillaz fanfic…I can dig, I wrote some of that back in…2002 or so. And I’m still far...
