There is no neutral body from which our bodies deviate.

“On nearly every continent, and for all of recorded history, thriving cultures have recognized, revered, and integrated more than two genders. Terms such as transgender and gay are strictly new constructs that assume three things: that there are only two sexes (male/female), as many as two sexualities (gay/straight), and only two genders (man/woman).Yet hundreds of distinct societies around the globe have their own long-established traditions for third, fourth, fifth, or more genders. Fred Martinez, for example, was not a boy who wanted to be a girl, but both a boy and a girl — an identity his Navajo culture recognized and revered as nádleehí. Most Western societies have no direct correlation for this Native “two-spirit” tradition, nor for the many other communities without strict either/or conceptions of sex, sexuality, and gender. Worldwide, the sheer variety of gender expression is almost limitless. Take a tour and learn how other cultures see gender diversity.”

This is a Warrior Song
From one poor Skin to another
And I don't know what I'm lookin' for
But I know I've found you
These words will shuffle across concrete
Will float across the Rockies
To the Smokey Mountains
We were stolen from
We were stolen from
We were stolen from our bodies
We were stolen from our homes
And we are fighters in this long war
To bring us all back home
And this is a Warrior Song
From one poor Skin to another
And I don't know what I'm lookin' for
But I know I've found you
U-ne-la-nv-hi U-we-tsi
I-ga-gu-yv-he-yi
Hna-quo-tso-sv Wi-yu-lo-se
But I know I've found you
And this is a Warrior Song
From one poor Skin to another
And I don't know what I'm lookin' for
But I know I've found you

Portrait of Eli Clare by Riva Lehrer
“The body is the first story; our text of
first meeting. I see you, you see me,
skin, bone, eyes, hair: assumptions
pour forth like a rip in a dam. See the
thousand imprints of sex, nation,
money, clues to the familiar and exotic.
We read and decide in eyeblink time.
When bone and blood show an
unfamiliar shape, the judgments freeze
into a first, rigid wall between you and I.
So paint the story of surface and bone
explicit, unavoidable, and ask
what did you fear then
and what do you think now.”

I wonder...
if the soil thinks she’s too dark
if butterflies want to cover up their marks
if rocks are self-conscious of their weight
if mountains are insecure of their strength

Trans freedom means a world free of violence that separates us from our bodies, spirits, communities + the earth. Trans freedom means a world without borders and deportation. Trans freedom means abolishing all prisons, jails + detention centers!
