The Real Gift

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 10:40:40 +0000

I got you a gift she's a soft and snugly mouse Your favorite Yeah, I still remember We haven't changed that much

Today was confusing You found a kind of toy you liked but you aren't allowed to have it all because other people would laugh at you That's not okay

I can't get one like it but I did bring you her someone to cuddle with at night and you can carry her around and take care of her just like that doll you wanted

I hope you carry her around without fear I hope you carry yourself without fear I hope you can hold her and not be afraid to be who you are

It's okay to be who you are to be what you are Cos in the whole world There is only one of you

That's why you are the real gift

My Smile

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 19:18:48 +0000

I'm scared Everything keeps falling apart Foundations upon which I once stood are crumbling down and I can't stop it but I can still keep smiling

They can take away my rights They can beat me down They can outlaw my people They can take and take and take But the one thing they can't take is the smile on my face

I can find a reason to smile Even when I'm crying Even when I'm scared I won't let them take my light away My beautiful rainbow light that I spread through my smile

My light has so much in it pain and sorrow love and joy spite and kindness everything that makes me me and I can show it all through a smile

They will never take it away No one will ever take it away not my name not my identity not my light not my smile

They're mine and they always will be

Our World

Tue, 13 May 2025 13:34:13 +0000

This world doesn't want people like me

People who were born different People who were raised differently People who look and think differently

People like me People like you People like us

They try to beat us into place Convince us that no one wants us Erase us from the narrative Hope that everyone forgets about us Then leave us to deal with the trauma All on our own

But we are not alone We are not wrong Every single person in this world is different in a million different ways Who are they to say that their ways are right and ours are wrong?

We are different We are unique We cannot be silenced We cannot be erased

Because this is our world

and we will not be forgotten

My Wings

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:56:31 +0000

At first, I didn't see them I didn't even know they were there then they flickered to life for a second bright and beautiful

just like me

They flickered and faded again and again I could only see them at special moments but as fleeting as they were I knew they belonged

Just like me

One day, I went to sleep closed my eyes and when I opened them there were my wings clear as a sunny, blue sky

Just Like me

Now my wings are always there fluttering and colorful full of light and beauty just like a butterfly

Just Like Me

A Body I Love

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It's hard to accept that the body I want is still a long way off That my transformation is far from complete

Every day, I struggle feeling disgusted as though my body is covered in a foul smelling slime that I can never wash away

But I carry on finding joy in every new day always looking to a future when I don't fees this way anymore when I finally feel like me

One day I will have a body in which I'm comfortable

One day I will smile at my reflection

One day I won't shudder when I think of myself

One day

A Look Back at I Am Me

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 13:00:00 +0000

I wrote I Am Me in 2022, right around a year before I came out as trans. Reading it now, it resonates so much with everything happening.

The original inspiration was the idea that people tried cramming me into a box labeled “Man” and I hated it. That wasn't me. I didn't want to be treated that way. Now that I'm out as trans, living life as a woman, I'm so much happier. I'm happy to be crammed into a box labeled “Woman,” even though that's still a close-minded way of thinking.

I'm gonna keep flying free, no matter what. Because I am me.

Thank you for reading. Remember, we are stronger together. And we'll get through this. Together.

I Refuse

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:25:10 +0000

There are people that want to take my right to live to erase people like me to force me to live in misery

I know they aren't all evil But they don't want to understand me And they do want to control me So how can I trust them?

Especially when They bully me into compliance Threaten me into hiding Force me to follow their rules

But one thing they will never do is make me give up

I refuse

No matter what else they take from me they will never take my hope my will to fight

I refuse

When they try to smother me I will scream out louder

When they try to keep me down I will rise up stronger

When they try to break my spirit I will refuse to give up

True to Myself

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, to be the real me

I don't understand, I've got a medical condition It's called “gender dysphoria”, but they won't listen to my cries, to my tears, no they just don't care all they wanna do is lie and cheat and scare They don't understand and they don't want to The way people are, why they do the things they do They call me selfish and a liar, say I'm coming for your children Then they try to ban proven science and call me a villain Yeah, maybe I'm a little selfish once in a while but it's okay to do things for me, things that make me smile I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, to be the real me

They call it “chemical and physical mutilation”, it makes me so mad! Would they say the same thing to someone with cancer in their nads? They insult the experts, call their work “junk science” yet those people have proven time and again they've earned our reliance Do they really think I came to this idea on a whim one day? Do they have any inkling how hard it is to be this way? I take pills every day, injections every week And I've got millions of people shouting that I'm a freak I didn't ask to be this way, this isn't a choice I just want to love my body, my face, my voice Gender-affirming care isn't wrong, it saves lives Did you know the percent of people happier for it is greater than 89? I have a voice to speak, a stage on which I stand so I want you to know, I want you to understand there's nothing wrong with this, it's okay to be this way no matter what those people out there say I'm not a monster like they make me out to be I'm just trying to be true to myself, I just want to love me

I just want to be true to myself I just want to love me

Acceptance

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 01:51:37 +0000

We don't belong here They don't want us They won't accept us Even though it's all we know

We can keep trying Changing ourselves to fit in But when I do that I suffocate

I want to be me So I'm going to find a place Where I belong Even if I have to make it myself

I'd like it if you were there too The outcasts, the misfits We have our own place somewhere And we'll get there

One day

Mirror, Mirror

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Mirror, Mirror, what do I see? My own self-loathing reflected back at me I've changed so much, and yet all I do is look in you and fret My face isn't the same at all I'm even learning how to walk tall but I can only see what I believe: this self-doubt that never wants to leave So I'll repeat day after day the affirmations I've learned to say in the hopes that I'll make it real that it will become the way I feel I'll cast away these feelings blue the feelings, Mirror, Mirror, I can't hide from you
