Rae Klein - Untitled, from the series ‘You Are So Warm,’ 2020

as a pre-everything trans guy summers suck ass. i especially hate it when im outside and wearing a jacket or something bc dysphoria and someone will be like “you look hot… you must be boiling… I have a t-shirt on and IM hot…” LIKE WOW THANKS SHERLOCK YOU FUCKING GENIUS I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT WAS HOT OUT. REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CLUING ME INTO THAT ONE, WISE GUY

A visitor came up to me at work and thanked me for wearing a he/him pin and “being an ally to the trans community” and “how important it is that cis people normalize sharing pronouns” and BRUH I am SOARING rn

And transphobes still be out here saying “wE CaN aLWaYs tEll”

This just in: “Trans Man Rolls a Nat 20 For Stealth”

found this old poem i wrote. i kind of like it and thought id share. feels like it belongs on my blog.

the peace of too much leans over me, grinning wide and yellow // not a threat, but a presence. // I walked down the road today and saw the setting sun in its blazing chalice, // saw winding roads with grass riding their middles. // I let out my arms like a sail on the downwind, // ready to be done. // relief etching itself on the mirror of my mind. // my scars are beautiful and hiding them seems delicately pointless. //  the scar tissue is a red reminder of loss and what my sullen brain has cost me. // it is a reminder that slashing and fighting and kicking gets you nowhere, only luffing // in the wide open bay. // at the bus stop I rolled up my sleeves and stared at my rope-covered forearms. // it was bright and green out. // I forgave myself // without letting go. 

maybe listening to the velvet underground will fix me
