NAPOWRIMO24 #14: THE AUTHOR RESPONDS TO HIS DECADE-OLD SUICIDE NOTE

#prompt: write a poem of at least 10 lines using anaphora (each line begins with the same word/phrase).#this is one of my fave things to do in poetry so i was pretty psyched to see today's prompt.#the bones of this poem already existed for a response to an assignment earlier this year but they needed intense reworks #and there was no anaphora to it before except some repetition of the phrase ''because''. this is a much different poem than it was 2 mos ag #it's a lot more solid in its sense of self now. i like it much more than i did this morning.#(also just to cover my bases: this was loosely inspired by ocean vuong's poem reasons for staying. i think it exists on its own merit-#enough that i probably don't *have* to say that. but just in case someone reads it and thinks ''hey wait a minute'' lmao)#napowrimo 2024 #napowrimo #spilled ink #writeblr #poems on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #poets on tumblr #queer poets on tumblr #queer poetry #poetry #recovery poetry #tw suicide ment #tw suicide #tw suicide attempt #damien.txt #img desc in alt text

Honestly being trans and having a wide range of trans friends is largely an exercise in cataloguing which of your transmasc friends are gonna find being told to "go piss girl" hurtful, and which will find it hilarious.

#if you are trans and gendered language being used neutrallybis really hurtful to you please know that i love and respect you #and around people i dont know i would not think its appropriate to use words that potentially misgender them #i am just incredibly lucky to have a huge network of trans and queer friends who are all at wildly different levels of comfort with this #and we know each other well enough to play around with gender amongst ourselves in an open and respectful way #also this post is absolutely inspired by myself and two other transmasc adhders #who regulary bewilder the Cis People #because the cis people are doing their best not to misgender us #while we throw “go piss girl” at each other with abandon #trans #transmasc #nonbinary #genderfluid #queer community #tw misgendering

It never fails to throw me off when a seemingly very progressive person on here STILL uses the r-slur against people as an insult. Like hey can you stop that shit please

#sorry came across a stupid asshole on here #who referred to younger gay/trans ppl as the slur because they felt uncomfortable using the word queer #like yeah yeah I get that it’s frustrating if younger lgbt kids have an intense aversion to reclaiming slurs #but maybe DONT CALL THEM AN ABLEIST SLUR????#literally what the fuck is wrong with you #if you’re really a ‘queer elder’ who wants to set a good example then stop doing that shit!!!#anyway. sorry.#just me things #text post #ableism tw

i saw a tv show some days ago where a young woman in the 60s/70s (don't remember exactly but it was either 60s or 70s, nothing else) was violently harrassed and bullied for being gender non conforming, for "looking like a man" (short hair, masculine clothes, no makeup, etc) and for liking "men things" (she loved cars, and was very good at mechanics, a subject she wanted to study), and her bullies were using the word "queer" against her, writing it on her chair, yelling it at her, etc (we learn later that she wasn't a lesbian, actually, but they thought she had to be one since she was masculine), at the end of the episode the girl is sent to conversion therapy, where they try to force her to become feminine, to act "like a woman", to wear make-up, etc., until they end up lobotomizing her (after several sessions of "electrical tests" supposed to "cure" her) because she resisted and was impossible to "cure". she dies short after that, and the very end of the episode takes place years and years later, decades later, and we see a girl with blue hair sitting on a chair with a big smile, proudly wearing a t-shirt saying "queer planet" with a lgbt flag.

if that doesn't represent very well the current lgbtqia+ community, i don't know what will, lol. this girl faced horrible violence and discrimination for being gender non conforming and because everyone thought she was a lesbian, they used the word queer, a slur, against her, and years later a teenager who doesn't know half of the things people went through decades ago for fighting and just being who they were comes with her blue hair proudly using this slur as if it was just a word.

people suffered decades ago for being same sex attracted and gender non conforming, they went through hell, the word queer was used against them as a slur, and now people who didn't go through any of that (which is a good thing of course) and don't know their history try to reclaim this term, to use it casually, to pretend it isn't a slur and should be used to describe the entire community. that's disgusting.

Adult nonfiction

Queer humor/travel/memoir by a lesbian blogger who goes on a road trip to visit America's surviving lesbian bars

Explores queer community and spaces alongside the author's own life and visits to the bars

#i read this while i was on a very specific kick of nonfiction books that discussed queer bars #which was an interesting little trend #but oh man i didn't really like this book unfortunately #i found the author's sense of humor really annoying personally and the bar visits started to feel rather repetitive after a while #nice cover though!#2023 reads #lulu speaks #lulu reads #books #lulu reads moby dyke #moby dyke #d slur tw #just tagging that because i know people have varying feelings around that word #though obvs it is used in a reclaimed and loving way in this book #oh well! i'm sad i didn't like this more unfortunately

I want to get this all off my chest and quick. This is a vent. Check the hashtags for TWs please.

I’m mostly going over my experience as a queer Romanian teenager. I don’t have a platform, nor any kind of a following so I doubt anyone will ever see this. But for whoever is out there and came across my story, thank you. Someone once said that an artist’s legacy can never truly die because of the internet. They said it as a bad thing in that context but today, I’ve decided to honor my legacy and not let it die. Even if it’s not a strong one at all. Even if probably no one cares. I don’t care either. I’ll put this out there for whoever is interested in a different perspective. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re like me. Maybe you’re a gay Romanian looking for comfort. Maybe you have a shitty family or maybe you have shitty friends and you want closure. You want to confirm that we truly are everywhere. Well, I’m here to do just that. So, there it goes:

I have two cousins around my age. They’re not really my cousins but I talk to them like they were, think about them like they were and call them my cousins. We’re actually just very distant law-relatives. But they are as important to me as a cousin might be.

There’s a boy exactly my age. Which, for whoever knows is the age you normally take the EN (National Evaluation) in Romania. Then, there’s a girl five years, or so I think, younger than us. I usually have fun with them. We talk and joke around and ask tons of questions because we don’t see eachother often.

They’re on my mind because for the first time in 6 months I saw them. I spent two full days with them in the countryside. Everything was going so well. And everything went well until the end. Until the overthinking, that is. And this overthinking kept telling me the same thing over and over and over again.

What if this is the last time you see them?

Or, that is to say, the last time they want to see me. The question if we would make it simpler would be: What if they find out?

This “What if they found out?” has been the bane of my existence since I first learned I was bisexual. Here, people don’t take that kind of news especially well. My parents wouldn’t take it well, nor would the rest of my family. But I don’t think about that because I don’t get crushes often. Because the chance of my actually having a girlfriend is close to zero. However, I’ve been catching feelings for a girl I’ve met in acting class. I thought about her this whole weekend. She was the only thing on my mind when I wasn’t hanging out with my cousins. And that got me thinking.

What if it’s going to become a reality? What if the fact that I have a girlfriend will come up? What if someone finds out? What, then?

These questions are swimming through my head as I’m writing this rant. Who would be by my side? Who would shush my name? I think about the cousins. What will they say? Then, suddenly, like blunt force to the head it hits me. With a quick dash of realization it hits me.

They wouldn’t speak to me ever again.

The boy is an avid fan of toxic advice from the likes of Andrew Tate. He assured me he’s not a Tate fan, though. He doesn’t support his views on women. But does everything else. He makes casual homophobic comments which shouldn’t mean anything but they throw me forcefully out of the conversation and into a bottomless pit of self doubt.

The girl, however, she’s young. Impressionable and young. In my family that means she’s doomed. With all those slur yelling, joke making homophobes what young person can escape? Especially if you’re not queer. I almost didn’t escape and I am queer.

So, in those nice moments of bonding that we have and the nice little chats that we hold sometimes shivers run up my spine. What if? The questions ring and yell.

The boy makes a joke. What if?

The girl laughs at somebody. What if?

The family makes their daily comment. What if? What if? What if?

Of course, I wouldn’t let that happen. I wouldn’t let myself get outed. Unfortunately, you don’t have autonomy on those kinds of things. I wouldn’t even protect a fellow member of the community in front of them, nor shame them. I live in a kind of purgatory. My family is wealthy enough. At least after my grandma dies. I’ll stand up for us after my grandma dies. Yet, something tells me I still won’t. Why? Because I’m a coward, that’s why.

I look gay, I really do. They don’t want to notice that though. I live in an entirely don’t ask, don’t tell family, specifically with my parents. They would much rather like to blindly pretend than actually care for their child. Moreover, their different child. I’ve always been a different child and for that, I am doomed. Again, another endless painful purgatory.

I walk the earth between the hateful and the tolerant; my people and their people.

Us v. Them.

That’s what is playing over and over again in my head. And soon tears will start filling my eyes with the ideology. Am I part of us or will they see me otherwise? Will they see the masculine, short haired afab who doesn’t dare stand up and curse at me in their spinning thoughts. They see me, clearly one of us, marching with the others. I don’t want to be that. But, alas, what if?

I like my cousins. I wish I could see them growing up. I wish they could see me growing up. They always compliment me on my knowledge and my work. They look up to me and relate to me.

The boy relates to me because of our age. I like talking with him about that. He’ll get high scores on the EN, I just know it.

The girl relates to me because of our gender. I like talking with her about it. She’ll make a great feminist one day. Shame, that I won’t be able to see it.

I won’t be able to see anything after they find out.

I’ll go from being praised to being shunned as quickly as a body droping from one of those post-communist blocks of flats. They won’t want me there and look at me with disgust in their eyes, a slur on their lips and the preaches of AUR members in their ears.

But just thinking this drives me insane. The people who I know and love won’t love me if they knew me. They would turn around so quickly and I’ll forget their faces and I’ll move on so easily. But, once in a while, when I’ll look up and see the back of their head I’ll wonder what I did wrong. And I’ll be thinking: what if I was normal?

no islamic talk is complete without my mom insinuating that my “choice” of being queer and trans is gonna lead me to a stray path away from jannah. so lovely. you can either have a happy trans and queer kid (doomed to jahannam) or have a miserable closeted one that represses their feelings so much to the point of contemplating suicide. every day. (also doomed to jahannam) which is what’s happening right now actually. and my friends wonder why i don’t like talking about islam… sigh…

#it’s so exhausting. this is why i don’t like being alone with her #and whenever she talks to my uncle and mentions how the ‘choices’ their kids make is gonna drive them crazy only when i’m in the room #i’m so tired #i wonder if i ever would have left islam if it wasn’t for my mothers treatment words and influence. i wonder.#i was happy being a queer muslim until my mom told me i can’t. and now i see every single fault in islam #i’m tired.#anyway if you use this post as an excuse to be islamophobic i’m shooting you on the spot #homophobia #homophobia tw #transphobia #transphobia tw #suicide mention #suicide tw #personal #cashew talks

your poll is dumb because i'm a lesbian but i'd rather kill myself than click "i'm queer :)" as if i didn't get called that by the men kicking my head in and then raping me :)

I'm really, really sorry about your trauma, that sounds beyond horrifying to go through. I hope your abusers go through hell and I wish you recovery.

queer is an important word to me and many, many others and I'm so sorry it was used against you in such a brutal way. This is the reason I included lgbtqia+ in the options as I know there are many people out there who don't identify with or like the word queer for a number of valid reasons, and I only wanted to see how many people on tumblr are part of our community. I never expected to get asks about rape or slurs or abuse or suicide, I just made the poll for fun. I'm sorry if I brought up any memories of those times for you.

#ask tag #I'm just some guy on the internet who made a poll for fun #I'm probably going to delete it #I'm exhausted and stressed out of my mind #I'm so so sorry you went through that. but that is the fault of horrible horrible people not the fault of people who identify as queer #you have every right to hate the word queer just as others have the right to use it for themselves #I really hope this doesn't come off the wrong way. I'm feeling really sick and my head hurts so if its not coherent I apologise #suicide tw #abuse tw #rape tw

please stop tagging my queer asks with 'q slur' or whatever. I will eat your tendons.

#Stop saying my identity is a slur. Stop acting like every term we've ever made up hasn't been used against us.#the point is that even if you dont personally identify as queer or prefer the term LGBT over Queer (which are both fine and valid)#you can't act like a word we've used for decades is a slur. especially since every word we've used has been used as a slur.#and I am fucking tired of people tagging my stuff #tagging WHO I AM #as if it's a 'bad word.'#queerphobia tw #queer is not a slur #queer is beautiful #not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you #not an ask game #threat tw #fake threat #unreality #ask's ramblings

i don’t think i know how to exist with

a mouth unbloodied,

with my hands empty of touch.

//

i hunger for love,

and love consumes me in kind —

an ouroboros choking itself to death.

saying people should die over a fictional ship is terminally online mentality. plz speak to real queer people instead of basing your entire personality on an amazon show that doesnt show queer pda because of homophobia.

If this is about that post exposing those two transphobic and aroacephobic Good Omens blogs, then lemme make myself clear to you. I never said people should d word because of a ship. I said those two accounts are extremely transphobic and exclusionist. And for being shitty TERFs, they should definitely d word :)

More than that, I don't feel like going holier-than-thou christian guilt when a hate group is against the entire existence of minorities, thanks.

On top of that, If you're mad about the tv show's DELIBERATE lack of queer representation (to you), there's always OFDM and WWDITS. That is, if you're not mad about Jim being non-binary but not saying it with all the letters, or the fact that it took three seasons for Guillermo to come out as gay despite the deliberate sexual tension between him and Nandor. Ah, and the fact that Jemaine stated all the vampires are pansexual but I don't think it's good enough for you, is it? I was also going to recommend Sandman but you think Neil is homophobic despite 90% of the characters being queer :/

In conclusion: you're hilarious. "Speak to real queer people."

I'm a real queer person myself and I definitely talk to people who touch grass. Not a single of them is mad about pda in Good Omens. Actually, we all love it and see ourselves in Azi and Crowley and the kind of relationship they have 💜 That's a you problem, actually.

Happy second season! It looks so promising, I can't wait 💜

#tw: transphobia #if it was not clear before i'll say it again #terfs can d word :)#me and my aroace homies are super happy that azi and crowley hold hands bc same #anon would have a heart attack if they knew me and my bff sleep on the same bed and exchange pda but we don't even kith lmao #also me and clay if not for a whole ocean separating us #U COME TO ME ON PRIDE MONTH TO VOMIT YOUR EXCLUSIONIST ANON HATE BS??? NOT TODAY SATAN #i usually ignore anon hate but it's funny how some allo queers are so mad about it when the aroace spectrum collectively embraced them #it's not my personality honey #it's literally my orientation #being queer is a huuuuge part of my personality so die mad about it ig

Oh jeez, going through the notes of a post that got attacked by terfs so I could block them was a bad idea. I can't unsee that shit. I feel all slimy now.

#why are people so mean #and why are so many terfs queer? except in a 'blatant hatred of the word queer' way #it freaks me out to see other queer folks turning on us #we are supposed to be a community! why are they assholes?#hylian rambles #uncaptioned #transphobia tw #they're so PROUD of it too. they're proud of hating us.#it's nasty #they dont think of it that way though #they aren't usually thinking about the hate. they are genuinely convinced they're right and we're the crazy ones. whoch is disturbing.#what if all the crazy people in the world are all 100% convinced they're the sane ones

basically at this point i think anyone who is not upset by words like “adulting” and sentences like “i cant english today” should have a good enough understanding of the english language to understand that using kin as a verb isnt really “incorrect” and almost always makes sense in context and is often actually easier to read and process than more “correct” uses for a lot of people and i honestly think that the problem is that people who treat language more casually are looked down on by polite society and a lot of people who are othered by that society will try to recreate themselves in its image to regain the acceptance they felt in the past and like i do empathize with that but i also dont really get why im supposed to give a shit about other peoples linguistic hangups just to get to stay in a discord server

#this isnt about anything in particular i just had like a weird moment of clarity #where suddenly a lot of things sort of lined up for just long enough for me to put them in words other people could understand #and also i remembered that the word verbing exists and got really happy about it #like seriously what a great word. verbing. whoever coined that is my personal hero for the night #anyways sorry i know i dont usually post stuff like this but i want to be able to reference this in the future #and i will probably never be able to make it make this much sense again #also just to be clear even tho the last bit actually was written with a few specific discord servers in mind #i genuinely do not bear any mods any ill will over this and never have #just in case anyone tries to use this against me someday. for whatever fuckin reason #its just something that makes a lot of servers really uncomfortable for me #just like servers that dont allow cursing or respectful uses of the word queer #something i might consider a dealbreaker in a perfect world but that i ultimately do not mind that much in the grand scheme of things #anyways.#quetzposting #kin discourse #discourse #discourse cw #discourse tw #<- for blacklist #kin

when people say “there are bigger problems affecting the community” in response to slur discourse, what we mean isn’t that you should be solving those huge problems instead of policing language, what we mean is that we can’t let ourselves fall victim to late-stage capitalist individualism when we are so much stronger as a group. back in the 90s, we all called each other dykes and fags because we saw ourselves as one community united against a common enemy. when the queer community starts dividing itself with the use of micro labels, separate flags and slur discourse is when we become the most vulnerable. it’s not about wanting to say a slur, it’s about not wanting to undo the community built by our queer ancestors. the far-right wants infighting, and it’s being handed to them on a silver platter.

#just something i’ve been thinking about lately #like idk i think it shows a lack of knowledge of queer history #because if you read older works by gay men and lesbians there was none of the separatism you see today #charlie.txt #tw slur discourse #and don’t get me wrong if somebody said ‘please don’t use xyz word around me’ i wouldn’t say it #but i just want to talk about what that means
