Who cares about poetry.

We already have “trans pride” and “gender envy”, what about trans sloth?

Now it’s more important than ever to go. We need to show the transphobes and homophobes out there that we LGBTQ+ people and our allies are far more numerous than they think.

Thanks a lot! Yes, a lot of what I’ve written about were things I’ve personally been through, or experiences I’ve heard from other trans people. I’ve also wanted to have several trans women in the book precisely so I could cover a lot of different stories. Also, the mares thing was inspired by conjugated estrogens that people used as HRT in the past.

As for the ending, it’s supposed to catch you off-guard, so I’m glad I managed to pull that off lol. You spend most of the book not knowing much about Julia, up until the very end, and then it becomes clear why she acted the way she did throughout the whole book.

Thank you!

It’s depressing that the original one was changed in the first place – our existence can’t even be acknowledged in a video game without people collectively freaking out… Well, at least they fixed it now.

God I hate medical gatekeeping. Good luck to you

You’ve commented on some of the previous ones too, right? Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Thank you!

This is the last poem I wanted to share here.

I’d like to thank you all for reading, and I sincerely appreciate all of your kind comments. I’m glad to know my poems resonated with so many people – that’s why I wanted to share them here, in the first place.

The only thing I still have to share is a short novel I wrote, that I mentioned in an earlier comment, but it’s still being reviewed. Who knows how long it will take. And of course, I know I’ll keep writing – but inspiration is fickle and hard to come by. I may come back with something else in the future.

Thanks again!

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words.

I managed to get myself into a pretty ridiculous problem.

I wrote a short novel that I wanted to share on here (since it has plenty of trans characters), but there’s no way to upload a PDF to Lemmy, and I don’t want to use google drive or anything of that sort because of the privacy implications. Well, no big deal, I told myself, I can just upload it into that transreads.org site someone linked the other day. But I wrote it under a pen name, without any mention to this username, and the upload process is completely anonymous, so now I have no way to prove I wrote my own book.

At least the book is still being reviewed, so it’s not been released yet and there shouldn’t be any other mentions to it anywhere else. So for the record, the book is titled “The witches of Galree” and the pen name I used is Emily Mathison Lovelace. Hopefully that will be enough to prove I’m really the author when the reviewing is over.

Also, if anyone knows a way to share this PDF here, please let me know.

My female friends accepted me as one of them immediately, no questions asked. Nowadays I’d say anything less than that is disrespectful, but back then it meant the world to me.

I remember you shared the letter here. I’m glad to know her initial reaction was good. Things won’t always go smoothly between you, but as long as she’s trying to understand and support you, it’ll be alright. Good luck on your journey!

Oh, I see! Thank you

Also, the fact that I went “I wonder what would happen if I were a girl” instead of “I wonder what would happen if he wasn’t straight” is quite telling

I did, and he turned me down. We’re still good friends to this day though, so it wasn’t a bad ending either.
