Oh btw - I'm doing like. Really spectacularly horribly right now, and I'm having (minor!) surgery (new portacath implant) on Monday, after which I expect to be doing slightly worse, so I probably won't be interacting much/talkative/etc but I expect my queues still have like three days in them so don't assume I'm here just because those are ticking out - though I'll try to make a post Monday night that says I survived surgery lol (there is almost no risk of death for this one though)

Also I bought myself a new cup recently because I am Really struggling to not spill things with how frequent the convulsions have been, so - pic for tax maybe? Lol

31st. A letter to myself.

Life has thrown its share of hardships, but you've stood firm. I'm proud of you for not letting your mistakes, failures, and scars define who you are. Thank you for learning from them and growing through them. It hasn't always been easy, yet here you are -- not just surviving, but finding ways to thrive.

Thank you for always trying to fall in love with life over and over again. Thank you for allowing yourself to dream, to love, and to live fully. I know it took me a while to forgive you, but thank you for being patient and for waiting.

May you continue to live your life with kindness, compassion, and gratefulness. May you find all the strength you need to stay in the present. May you always enjoy the smallest of things. Through the moments of doubt and fear, may you rise with confidence. May you always find light in the darkest of places, even when it feels like there isn't any.

Today, I want to celebrate the person I see in the mirror. You are stronger than you ever thought possible. You are beautiful, and don't let the world tell you otherwise. You are, and will always be enough. Keep growing and keep going but don't forget to slow down. I'm proud of you, Mesh. Happy 31st 🥀

Now is a good time to say that I am completely against NFTs and AI 'art'. Go away, get out of here.

Legit half the reason I use the term transmisandry instead of transandrophobia or transemasculation (beurk) or antitransmasculinity is that. like.

No matter what I say as a genderqueer transmasc, people won't like it. So, fuck you, I'm using a term that's more aggressive.

If you're the kind of person who is intrigued and asks clarifying questions, even if in the end you disagree with the terminology, then hell fuckin yeah, I'm down and know that I have had a genuine conversation! Hell, even it you're the kind of person who is immediately repulsed but still thinks to ask, then fucking incredible!! I've met someone who wants to figure out if that bridge can be built!!!

If you're the kind of person who isn't even willing to have a discussion with someone – or isn't even the least bit curious, or willing to argue in good faith!! – then I know we won't get along and I can observe that I will have missed absolutely nothing if I were to write you off entirely.

(The other half is, like. phobias are real and deserve more understanding and support. People with phobias don't deserve to be placed in the same category as those who feel extreme hatred. That's just moralization of mental health, and I thought we were trying to avoid that? At least use transandromisia or antitransmasculinity. The -phobia suffix shouldn't be tarnished by the inclusion of terms that describe simple hatred and intolerance.)

Got thinking today about the first pieces of queer media I experienced and how formative they were for me when I didn't even know queerness was a thing. Double-whammy of super religious family raised in very religious community and then ending up slap bang in the middle of section 28 in the UK, where it was illegal to teach kids anything about queerness.

But it was there. It found me, even when I didn't know I was looking for it.

First up was the double-header of To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

It was 1996/7, I was in my mid-teens. I was having a sleepover at a friend's house and she asked me if I wanted to see drag queens. I didn't know what they were, so I said yes. My wee little mind was blown. Until that point, the only time I had seen anything like it had been as a joke, especially Pantomime Dames.

I know that now these films are very dated, but then? When the only other mainstream films with vaguely trans-ish characters were things like Silence of the Lambs and The Crying Game? Having some of the biggest stars of their respective countries playing sympathetic, fun, silly, loving, happy drag queens and trans characters was so staggeringly new and out of left field. I didn't even know what I was feeling but those films curled up in my chest for reasons I couldn't even understand then.

A few years later, doing my English studies and one of the assigned texts was a book called Trumpet by Jackie Kay. I had never heard of it, had no idea what it was about going in, and again, eyes wide open after it. A trans man who kept his whole life a secret from everyone but his wife, only outed after his death. It's beautiful and poignant and wrenching as his kid tries to unravel and understand their father and who he was.

It's been two decades and I've seen a lot of queer media since then, but those three pieces were the foundation of me figuring things out and realising what I had been told all along wasn't compulsory or necessarily even right. It showed me a glimpse of something else, that maybe all the parts of me that I had been chipping away at, trying to make them fit, didn't need to be chipped away at all.

Took a lot longer for me to put all the pieces together consciously. The trauma and self-hate will do that to you. But I got there :) I got there in the end and I can look in the mirror like Miss Vida and smile like she did.
