Rees - February 14, 2001
Julie to others
she laments over
"this gender stuff"
and drinks till she's tipsy
a woman now
a man perhaps later
a human always
she battles with the life she has
now
as a mother
a wife
a lover
a woman
and the life she may have
and who will be there for her?
Who will love her when she no
longer has breasts?
will people be able to deal
with this new body
which houses the same self
or will they feel betrayed
lied to
I will never leave
she's as dear to me as friends
I've had
since
I was 14
she will always be silly
fun
caring
smart
understanding
Rees
no change in body could ever
make a difference in that
I hope others will be as loving
and supportive
she needs it
we all do




Truth for a Truth - June 11, 2001
Justice
is dealt
to the victims
or want-to-be-victims
of killers
in fantasy
some in reality
usually
low-lives
niggers
and
whores
death
is for
death
as eye is for an eye
but if we were to continue with this
justice
for
crimes
why aren't men
raped
for committing rape
battered
for
being batterers
I suppose because the victims
are still
alive
and therefore
can prosecute
nevermind
what they have to deal with
in the
aftermath
death is the answer
not therapy
not prison
for prison
costs
too
much money
as if injection costs nothing
and time
and we should just kill those damn niggers
since black has always been
synonamous
with evil
oops
he didn't do it
oh
well
there was something wrong with him anyway
too bad our fingers
and eyes
are
alwasy pointed outward
it prevents us
from
seeing in




Tyrade #2 - March 13, 2001
Why are women punished
for doing something that men
are allowed
men can sow their wild oats
but women are sluts
and this is not just in
heterosexual relationships
I've been criticized by girlfriends
for being a sexual being
I think they take their butch role
a little too far
you have to keep your girl
"in her place"
even if you are a girl yourself?
can someone say
keeping in the tradition
of patriarchy
and hypocracy?
Semantics - July 6, 2003
You don't like him because he has
straight
white
male
"privilege"
after the change
will your
self-loathing grow?
he can't help who he is
no one can
why can you
worship
one straight white male
who gives you shit
over your choice of name
but I can't have feelings
for another
who has no problem
seeing you as "he?"
is it because this one came after you?
some sort of
queer betrayal?
but I'll never know
the truth
just the jibes you make
at him
that only hurt me




Thanks
Do you think you're God?
Obviously
Telling me what's right
what's wrong
like my ideals
they're wrong
says you
I need to be controlled
says you
a simple .gif on my homepage is
scary
to you
why?
what's so scary about being
proud
you yourself said there is
no
such
thing as normal
yet I can't be
me
because I'm just
wrong
and need to be
controlled
I am out of hand
because I have found
myself
and I treat others as
fellow
human beings
how is that scary
why should
that
be controlled
you said I am only
this
way because I want to be
different
if
I wanted that
I would have
indetermintate
gender
religion
anything everyone
categorizes
instead I feel more
complete with my
identity
how is that scary
maybe my completeness
is what is scary
is
what makes me different
you say the world is full
of bad people
I see
you
as their
representative




Tyrade - March 13, 2001
Everything I do
tells you
that I only want sex
Part of me denies it
and part of me
asks what the issue is?
I don't want you
just for sex
If I did
I would have jumped you
or complained whenever we went out
I would have greated you in
one of my many negligees
I brought all of them
but did you notice
I haven't worn one yet?
I haven't initiated anything
I just make crude jokes
like my father does,
what can I say?
I have his sense of humor
and his libido
But I don't look at anyone as a potential
fuck
that dehumanizes them
I've had enough of that
happen to me
I don't need to do it to other people
But as a sexual being
as we all are
we each express it differently
some more overtly than others
it reminds me of a lyric
from a Sarah McLachlan song
"Mama, can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is
right for me
might not be right for you
But it's
right for me"
I think when we judge others
specifically women
for their sexuality
we show lack of love for
ourselves
If we were more self-accepting
of something so natural as sex
we wouldn't have to look at others
and compare
have you ever noticed that those who are
content
not overly happy
but content
with the way they are
they tend to lead easier lives
or at least they take it easily
times are rough for everyone
but when you know yourself
you tend to look at the world
more subjectively
as in
"that's how you are"
Also,
when you want yourself to be accepted
try accepting others
you don't have to agree
just know that we're all different
be as forgiving of others
as we'd like them to be of us
