To all who ever loved you…
My piece for the @romancedawn-zine. Aftersales open sometime soon if you’d like this spread!
top surgery recovery has given me a lot of time to think, which is both epic and not. Been thinking a lot about past selves, past experiences, and how they all led up to me being the person I am today. I dont like the “I was born in the wrong body” rhetoric because I think it removes the agency for trans people to self-determination of our identities, nor do I like trans identities to be reduced to our bodies. I was that little girl, and I am not ashamed of her, nor was she ever my enemy. We do not have to reject our past selves to validated in our current selves, and I will continue to cherish the little girl in my head because she helped me become the person I am now <3

Favorite poetry pieces or master posts about humankind and/or how we're all connected through universal experiences? I can't stop thinking about that...
