went on a long walk alone today, said hello to some weathered men with facial hair i was envious of :,)
thought more of my gender identity & the pressure i had been put under to perform transness, or the expectation that i would want bottom surgery or t or something i did not want & being told them NOT anticipating that would be transphobic
how hurt i felt to even exist. or have wants. or be me. how i felt thrown into space, into this unlabelled void where ive liked being for the time being, but realized that for me- it was a place of rejection & hurt. a relief from the pressure i had unneedingly been put under by someone i trusted.
i don’t know. i may think differently tomorrow, but i think it’s okay to feel this way today. how could they not know that not every trans persons goal is surgery given their own history, their years in advocacy? how could it be another person who was so knowledgeable stuffing me into a pipeline?

Review: “Translating Feminisms”
This collection of anthologies by Tilted Axis Press translates female and feminist poetry from Asia into English. There are four parts: 
“Against Healing”, nine Korean poets
“Desire Become Demons”, four Tamil poets
“Moon Fevers” from the Vietnamese poet Nhã Thuyên
“Night” from the Nepali poet Sulochana Manandhar Dhital
Reading all of them almost back to back, I felt they were a mixed bag overall, but verging on the negative side. Now, poetry is always very subjective, so just because I did not like it does not mean it is truly bad. My main problem was that I could not find a connection to the material, the symbolism, the issues and feelings, the history discussed. And that might be just as much my problem as the poets and / or editors. 
“Against Healing” speaks about trauma, violence, brutality and sorrow in a quite modern form. However, I could not really connect to these texts due to my lack of background knowledge. The same goes for “Desire Become Demons”.
“Moon Fevers” adressed the basic femaleness: womanhood, sex, the body. It is very physical and quite sexual. Also a modern collection, this mixed various forms and experiments with styles. I could recognize the heavy use of fantastical metaphors, but again failed to truly and properly read them. 
“Night” was probably the best of them for me, maybe because of my connection to Nepal giving me a head start to understanding everything. I really “got” this collection, it is was round and had a thematic red thread woven through. It was also the most traditional of all the collections in terms of form. It was the least heavy with country-specific-issues (and thus more universally understandable), yet still told stories and did something to the reader. 
Overall, all of them were an interesting glimpse into literature that you do not often get your hands on and that is not often translated and thus discussed. So it was great to read all of them, but a true connection was rarely possible.

The Kindness of Enemies by Leila Aboulela
With citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries recently banned from entering the United States, it is more important than ever to turn to and support those voices whose work unpacks history in order to provide clarity to the present. In her latest novel, Sudanese-born Leila Aboulela writes with inimitable elegance a multi-generational historical fiction saga about Imam Shamil, the 19th century Muslim leader who led the anti-Russian resistance in the Caucasian War; his family; and the reach of his legacy today. The Kindness of Enemies is both an engrossing story of a provocative period in history and an important examination of what it is to be a Muslim in a post-9/11 world.

Christodora by Tim Murphy
In an age where queer people face hostility from a reactionary political establishment, the activism of the AIDS crisis offers urgent lessons as to how we can make positive change in the face of oppression and misinformation. A portrait of the endurance of love, the constellation of relationships that binds us, and the changing world of New York City, Christodora is a deeply moving portrait of a lost bohemian Manhattan and a powerful exploration of the fate of activists and artists in our contemporary society.

The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen
The refugee experience is the world experience, and it is the American experience too—not least because of wars fought abroad that cause an influx of refugees at home. In his new collection, The Refugees, Viet Thanh Nguyen looks at the Vietnamese refugee experience in America, as well as the lives of some Americans in Vietnam. From the battles to build a good life in the wake of actual wars left behind, to new and old experiences of love and tenderness, and questions of where home is when hostility is faced both in the country of birth and the adopted country, The Refugees is a powerful and moving testament to the experiences of people living lives between two worlds.

The Crunk Feminist Collection by Brittney C. Cooper, Susana M. Morris, and Robin M. Boylorn
For the Crunk Feminist Collective, their academic day jobs were lacking in conversations they actually wanted to have—relevant, real conversations about how race and gender politics intersect with pop culture and current events. To address this void, they started a blog. Now with an annual readership of nearly one million, their posts foster dialogue about activist methods, intersectionality, and sisterhood. Never afraid to speak out, disrupt narratives, and prioritize self-care, the Crunk editors are the models we need for activism in 2017.

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants  by Robin Wall Kimmerer
“A hymn of love to the world.” —Elizabeth Gilbert
As a botanist, the author has been trained to examine nature with the tools of science; as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our teachers. Here she brings these two lenses together, showing how other living beings offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices.

Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers by Bobby Seale; photographer Stephen Shames
Admired, reviled, emulated, misunderstood, the Black Panther Party was one of the most creative and influential responses to racism and inequality in American history.

Published on the 50th anniversary of the party’s founding, Power to the People is the in-depth chronicle of the only radical political party in America to make a difference in the struggle for civil rights.
