You fall in love with people’s minds.

[Montauk - Part 3]

wine, cigarettes, and you –

moments.  

so what if the echoes of chronos run through my veins pumping nightmare fuel into my heart and so what if i’m made of things that are dark

in nature?

we can pretend the universe is not buried in the shadows where God can’t see no matter how bright that sun shines and how fresh this air is that we breathe

our galaxy is moving 515,000 miles per hour around a giant black hole with shark teeth and we stand here as pixels of consciousness –

grounded on our feet

praying to the dark sun and watching the black helicopters burn.  what if we are a string of unstable electrons in the nucleus of an experimental dimension bearing the consequences of it’s errors

at the mercy of a creator unwilling to accept defeat

moving between galaxy clusters and different dimensions –

seeking the original path of the divine source before it was hijacked and diverted by [classified]

our history is buried in the shadows and we’ve lost touch with who we truly are and we still find a reason to smile because even if the world collapses into nothing

we’ll still have each other.

You forget my name in your mouth is still mine.

I got cocky once, the aftermath was horrid. I was so mentally shaken that I thought people could see it in my eyes, so I shaved my head to divert their attention.

For yall who can't seem to understand

Trans men are men. Trans men experience transphobia and misogyny. When trans men are seen or read as women, they experience misogyny. When trans men are read as cis men, (in-community referred to as ‘passing’), they experience male privilege. Trans men are not always passing, and therefore do not always experience male privilege. Trans men do not have the same privilege as cis men because of transphobia, and though trans men are men, they have unique and painful experiences due to being trans that creates a different outlook and mindset from cis men. Cis men are privileged over trans men. Trans men who are persecuted for being trans men are not experiencing transmisandry, they are experiencing transphobia. Transmisandry does not exist.

Trans women are women. Trans women experience transphobia, misogyny, and transmisogyny. Trans women do not experience male privilege. When trans women are read as male, they are being misgendered, which is painful and dangerous to a person. This is not privilege. This is transphobia. Though trans women are women, they have unique and painful experiences due to being trans. Cis women are privileged over trans women. When read as cis women, trans women experience misogyny, and when known as trans women, they experience transmisogyny and misogyny.

These are the experiences of trans men and trans women excluding other defining intersecting identities such as race, ability, and socioeconomic status. Stop with the shitty discourse and excluding trans folk from your feminism. If your feminism excludes and dehumanizes trans women, it sucks. If your feminism ignores and demonizes trans men, it sucks.

Over you.

Even though my chest aches, even though my heart is breaking, the sun shines. The world continues to turn, as it should. No one should stay heartbroken forever.

Reach up (to accept blessings). Bend down (to respect humbly). Reach out (to give freely).
