You do NOT get to judge me for being a cis-gendered Woman. You do not get to project your anger onto me because i have fought through years of terror to finally get to a place where i celebrate my Womanhood.
i have opened my arms & my heart to you, without judgement, every step of the way.
i have held you & i have loved you. i will not accept your condemnation of me now ~ for being a biological woman.
We have both journeyed through underworlds to get to this place. And i am still holding you, Sister.
But i cannot & will not accept your own gender dysphoria as my own.
i have been hurt for far too long.
i am sorry ~ we have to let one another go. i am moving into finally & trulu embracing my Being as a Woman…
and i just can’t take one more male bodied person telling me to stay down. Because, in the end, that’s what it is.
i wish you the best, Sister. Goodbye.

    The author’s odd, inconsistent capitalization turns into poetry when you string it all together. Ok, shitty poetry.

  2. So you brother is transgender and “he” gives you a hard time for being a woman in a woman body??? O Portland, you’re so progressive! I’m almost tempted to quit my job and open up a Vegan Snow Cone food truck.

  4. I feel for you, anonymous, but what is the deal with these intimate statements that are very clearly intended for the person closest to the anonymous poster? Maybe it feels good to get it off your chest but what would feel a thousand times better is to speak your mind to the offending party. Maybe it’s that this individual doesn’t even deserve your time or your explanation, in which case, bravo for at least putting your feelings out somewhere other than a journal. Let me just say this, however- beware the general schadenfreude of the internet. It was my first instinct to poke fun like I normally would, but nobody needs that fucked up shit, least of all you, Anon. With that, I conclude my most charitable response ever, not that you need it.

  7. I still don’t know what cis-gendered means and I am afraid to look it up on the internet. Do you guys know what a “prince albert” is? I do, because I looked it up on the internet once.
