Elucidating Questions

People treat things like they only go one of two ways, or they’re a spectrum like colour,

But to me things like sexuality and gender are like space,

There are so many directions to go in,

You don’t even really know what direction you’re going in

And everyone is seeing something completely different.

Our life circumstances place us in different places in space,

We see what can be seen,

We experience it differently than everyone else

Transphobes try to do that thing

“Define a woman”

And the truth of the matter is you cannot

Every woman is different, though similarities in experience arise

But I do know every cis woman probably doesn’t feel unfit in their bodies(yes feelings about weight and beauty are different)

The trans/sexuality experience is like being left handed

When I try to use my right I feel like I’m using this alien instrument

I can force myself to use my right hand, but nothing comes out right, it feels like I’m not really the one writing, or pouring, or doing

I wonder how often right handed people think about left handed people?

I’m reminded daily that my handedness is not what’s expected.

Then again there’s pretty much nothing about me that’s expected

ま～とにかく

Explore your corner of space and be yourself

There are people out here who can’t imagine anything but what they’ve seen

And then there are those of us that have seen such magnificence in space that we know, unequivocally, that we cannot have seen it all.
