(There is more to this, but I will only do it privately… not meant for the great unwashed.)
Interesting the connections and scenarios most of us can conjure up looking at that statement. How many of us cannot understand ourselves and why we do what we do?
So horrible, but how many of us can walk those final steps to the Abyss to be able to finally understand that phrase? I do know… been there, done that, but now I understand the voices.
The voices didn’t promise anything except to pull me from the brink, just as what I’m experiencing now. Been there and done that poop.
We have the power to become Transformative agents. Many of us see the dicotomies of culture and philosophy. We “see†the New World. We crave it, in fact.
It’s the freakin’ damn goal of being Human.
As much as I’d like to see a World with a majority of folks like me, endocrine disruptive chemicals and estrogens in the environment can and will make us the inheritors of the New World. Look at the sea-life based studies.
I don’t wish to be the majority. I wish to be considered Human, with a twist. I don’t wish to see children more conflicted as me.
Yes, I’m more than most, female and male, and a mentality that can encompass it all, but what I really wish for is children that do not have to fight my battles of the Past.
Maybe we have reached the tipping point on this shit. Maybe I’m too late. If I am too late, treat them kindly and accept what the Future many bring. I’m just the first of many.
Years ago I wrote about the possibilities of our chemical pollution of our planet. No one seemed to care, but the agents I referred to are still active, and they will continue to do their thing.
I can never change my chemical/biological/genetic past. I didn’t do it… it just happened. Though I can speak about the wonders, the epiphanies of being Intersexed/Trans I can’t wish my life upon any child. I’m not a fool… it’s a hard life to live
Yes I fight for my kind, but I pray for the day this doesn’t need to be: whether we are Trans or not, or there is no Trans really. Get me.
Now I’m back in the fray fighting for my sisters and brothers. I stand in a “Place†that has no judgement upon what I am, only who I am. I am myself.
I spent my life trying to live up to a dictum: “Prove who we are, and what we are notâ€.
One thing I have learned over the years: I am what I am, and fuck those who will refute that. I AM a woman, and fuck anyone who disputes that fact.
I take care of the folks around me. I hold them in my arms and thoughts. I am kind to others. I CARE.
I’m a woman, and that’s what women do: we take care of folks. We are what we are. This is biological destiny.
Anyone who wants to prove my words different, you come face-to-face with me, and we will hash it out.
