— Thanksgiving 2006, Ocean Vuong, from 'Night Sky with Exit Wounds'

[text ID: Brooklyn's too cold tonight

& all my friends are three years away.

My mother said I could be anything

I wanted — but I chose to live.]

dear nex,

your school failed you.

your peers failed you.

the hospital failed you.

authorities fail you,

adults fail you,

words fail you.

i fail you,

and i'm so sorry.

This is for all the ones that were told "It's just a phase"

This is for all the femmes who were told to "man up"

This is for all the mascs who were told to "be more ladylike"

This is for the "they/them is only plural"

For being told our love is innatural

This is for the stares

This is for the subtle jabs

For the uncomfortable family dinners

For the fear of coming out

For not feeling right in the shoes society tells you to fit.

I see you.

I am so proud of you

We are one and infinite

We are Pride.

Aren't You Glad To Be A Pansy?

(inspired by @sweatermuppet's poetry and stickers, and my own very complicated relationship with gender and cowboys)

buy silas denver melvin's stickers! (i have... almost all of them, and they're great quality and let all the other transsexuals at the function know that i'm a cool queer poetry loser)

i wear women’s deodorant and men’s cologne i mix pink and blue to match my birthstone amethyst, creating a synthesis a dialectic speaking my singleness womanly chivalry and masculine grace a twist of the wrist that turns on its face bending borders into a threshold equal parts silver and gold i lead and i follow a solo in parts it’s hard pill to swallow if you’re scared of the arts i’ve never been more one than my two perhaps this will give you a breakthrough— the illusion that arose of oil and of water proves that opposition serves those opposed to the other as for me, i’ll keep my duality it beats a boxed-in, binary, banality

— from My Father Writes from Prison, Ocean Vuong, in 'Night Sky with Exit Wounds'

[text ID: some nights you are the lighthouse / some nights the sea / what this means is that I don't know / desire other than the need / to be battered & rebuilt /]

imagine a woman, a coin in history always hated and wanted a creation to use, something sexual and rehashed // imagine a woman, her hate if you actually knew her. animal she is. don’t be surprised. // imagine a woman, bisexual and trans. fucking BEYOND gender, a bisexual out for it. // imagine people have always hated you yet you want a story. a community. // imagine a woman, paint all of animal attraction, calling out for it.
