Good morning friends. I am in a very contemplative state this week, but especially today. Today being election day in the US. We have a very broken system, that cannot be denied.

*Note: These are my feelings and thoughts, not anyone else’s, especially not any other trans person’s. So, don’t use this as an excuse to call all trans people, or all trans women weak. If you do, you are an asshole. Full Fucking Stop* I am an author and poet. I am an advocate and ally … Continue reading Can’t I be fragile sometimes, too?
So, I have some family that is resistant to using my pronouns and calling me Justice; instead using my birth name and pronouns. While most of you will find it hard to believe that I have a hard (almost impossible) time speaking up when they are misgendering me and deadnaming me, what with how outspoken, … Continue reading What may be…

I am going to try to answer one (or more, but let's be honest, I am verbose, so...) of them every day until I am through them.

I also could be just overthinking this, as I am apt to do at times, so please let know your thoughts. If however, you see this as … Continue reading Reflections on Easter

Do you really want to live your life for someone else, Giving up parts of yourself with nothing in return? Instead, why not be true, instead of … Continue reading Let your being fly free
So, yesterday, I received an email.

No longer will I minimize myselfAnd place who I really am upon the shelf.Spending all of my energyAvoiding being me.Finding the truth in who I am,Is not quiet, like a lamb,But loud, … Continue reading Nurture, Nature, or Trauma?
