He’s eloquent, and witty, and hella fine.
xiu xiu writes about taboos, I respect that.
But really Jamie only you would write a song called “I Love Abortion”
Oh the things I would do to him.
Trans* in the media
I just read O.P. #6 the school issue
I love having a magazine by and for trans guys, makes me believe in my generation of trans people. That we could really make progress for equality, for some societal understanding, beyond visibility. Visibility in the media is a cheap thrill that diminishes quickly, like a sugar rush the day after Halloween. Everytime I read a random trans* related article in People or on the web, it always appears to be the same article constructed one of two ways option A. “How I knew I was Trans” option B. “A justification to the world and this shitty magazine about how I’m trans” Whenever I read something like that I just feel a pang, because as any visible/out trans* person will tell you the world acts like you owe them an explanation for existing for going through “the change” friends, family,acquaintances, strangers, doctors, shrinks, they all NEED to know “why”. And this isn’t something worked up to. This is usually a blasé question thrown at your feet with no subtly or shame.
I don’t ever want to take for granted
how wonderful it is to not have to
compromise my sense of humor/personality/mannerisms/self
in order to be read properly

rage and things about being a queer in the midwest
I think coffee shops, Starbucks or not, have this image of having a very liberal slant with laid back college kids for employees. And that’s some of the people I work with, but by no means all. I’m still in the middle of Missouri. (this is just kind of a loose train of thought)
doogie-howser asked: Thank you for following! It's nice to meet you. :)
you too, great blog
every now and again I find a song that’s so perfect that I just want to go driving on every quiet street with every quiet person tucked into their circadian rhythmless and in that perfect moment of blissful silence to ghetto blast it and have it embody my senses. But on that same note it’s so perfect I wouldn’t share it, to have it be tainted or distorted, analyzed over or under. I want it to be mine alone. It’s too good to have little old ladies shake their fist at it and me at four in the morning. I thank fuck for songs like that.- one
Anonymous asked: Hello, friend. You words beautifully. Everything will be fine. All of my love to you.
that’s very kind
an opinion that’s easy to have when you’re not the one starving in a cage like a fucking animal. How immature, and self centered. An important aspect to being a well adjusted human being is being able to put yourself in another’s shoes and understand how your choices/actions/life affect others. Or to understand anothers suffering. And if we pretend like the op didn’t just say “Hey horrible oppression and genocide is ok in my book as long as there’s less mouths to feed.” And even if we were just talking about indiscriminate death like say a tornado, or hurricane killing dozens/hundreds/whatever you really wouldn’t feel that way if you were in the middle of the wreckage of a earthquake scraping yourself together, wondering if your mom, dad, brother or best friend are alive, and ok, wondering what insurance will cover, wondering if you have internal bleeding cause something fell on you. But hey population control. Oh and by the by since we are talking about starving and genocide I imagine you’re also a ok with murder on a personal level, like the son of sam gunning people down because the the neighbor’s dog is god. Or some extremist terriost sect bombing a subway in the UK because the country that they occupy doesn’t support their radical beliefs. And since when does your money go to kids starving in Africa, I hate to breaking it to you honey but unless you shell out your shekels to one of them “dollar a day” sad slow mo montage ads your money most likely goes into the pockets of someone smarter, richer, and more privileged than any middle class joe blow will know and certainly some starving kid. I’m not doing some greater good here though, my money goes to the same place as yours. However, I’m not diluted enough and could never be so selfish to think “You know what a bad thing is, giving money to people who need it more than me. Or oh what’s even worse is when I give burger king 10 bucks and like 20 cents of that goes to help some so smuck who’s got stomachs so distended he can’t handle solid foods-and that doesn’t even make sense AHAHAHAHA” FUCK YOU. your point is every death is death. Mine is every death was a life as colorful, hopeful, as full of love, regret, and tragedy as yours is. I’m all for population control, but in sensible ways, not through violence. you dip shit.
