Wynn Foster Tries Poetry Again

I wore perfume today

For the first time in months

If not years,

Just because I knew I'd see you

And I hoped I'd be able to touch you

To hug you

Bring you close to me

Even if it was just for a moment

And hope that somehow

Against the odds

You'd remember how it felt

How tightly I held you in my arms

Every time lilacs bloomed

I told you I was breaking

That it felt like the iceberg I stood on

The one steps away from my friends

My support

Away from the family I chose

The one I had never noticed melting

Was suddenly cracked in pieces

Parts floating away from me

Sinking faster than I could swim

Even if I dove to collect what I could

The ice was melting

I couldn't freeze time any more than water

That I was floating away

I question my own mortality

If I want to hang on to it

Or hang it from a shelf

Like a photograph of my last moments

If not of life, at least of life before you

Every moment after a professional filming

After only watching hastily filmed

Half covered by hair and shoulders

Videos online for free

Even without the photos lining the walls

They would be mental static

Unidentifiable

A Jane Doe of my own

I showed you the puzzles

I keep on my bedroom shelf

Rainbow boxes lining the walls

Barely any space for air to seep in

How my brain is like that

So little room for seeping

For remembering to eat

To sleep

To care

At least about myself

But you

You are the puzzle infesting my thoughts

That I can't help but put back together

I told you I was scared

Scared that I was alone again

That I no longer had him

Or her or you

That I wasn't sure I was there sometimes

How my hands didn't feel like mine

My voice like it was meant for someone else

Scared that the person across the mirror

Is suddenly someone I don't know

But everyone says she is me and I am her

But I'm not that little girl now

And I'm not this one either

I told you how it ached

To know that I was second place

Third some days

Last some others

Placed behind those who hurt you

Those who obligate you to love them

My needs the last box to be checked

The pen running low on it

Scratching marks in corners

Circles onto sticky notes

And faint lines into the boxes

How I knew my place with you

And stayed in it

I told you my fears

The broken puzzle of my mind

Sprawled on a table

Chairs empty

Rings forming around dripping glasses

Iceberg melting into slow drips

Perfume hanging on to your clothes

Like I hang on you words

Pen scribbling between the margins

Fears of being lost or forgotten

Too unsubstantial to bury

Even if they find the body

No one will identify it

Thanks for the tag @just-inside-her 💜

I'm pretty sure I've done this before, but I don't think it was here on tumblr, so I thought why not give it another go. I also noticed that apparently I really really really like to suffer, and anything that's remotely fun and light hearted is apparently off the table lolol.

I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit

[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]

Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

Important Christmastime question

Where you live do people sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with the like a lightbulb additions?

[cant-we-be-seventeen]

Not necessarily where I live as in town, but yes as in house

[butchsunbeam-deactivated2022120]

btw nonbinary people can do whatever they want and u should support and respect them. if a nonbinary person likes to be called boy or man or boyfriend or king, that doesn’t make them less nonbinary. if a nonbinary person likes to be called girlfriend or princess or lady or woman, that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary. if a nonbinary person dresses like their agab is expected to dress, passes perfectly as a binary gender, doesn’t want to physically transition or uses pronouns other than they/them, that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary. nonbinary is an umbrella term and the people who fall under it aren’t always gonna be how you expect a nonbinary person to be!! that’s fine!! isn’t it wonderful that there are so many different ways to be nonbinary? if someone says they’re nonbinary, believe them and respect their identity. don’t waste your time on this planet getting mad at other peoples’ gender expression.

[butchsunbeam-deactivated2022120]

for everyone who has been asking for this addition:

nonbinary people can do whatever they want (up to and including armed robbery, first degree murder, arson, crochet) and u should support and respect them.

Ok y’all, I need you to drop links for free binder services. It’s November which means that parents won’t think it’s odd for their children to request that they not inspect packages. They’ll simply assume it’s a present for whatever holiday they observe. So please do your part by dropping links in the reblogs and trying to get this seen by those who need it

edit: k, so I mean this in nicest way possible. Liking isn’t going to help anyone. This isn’t just for me, other people need these links. If you if you can’t/don’t have the energy to find and post links to ACTIVE donations. Please at least reblog so someone who follows you can. Please and thank you <3

[the-maddened-hatter]

Master list version: I will be editing and adding to this version where possible.

PLEASE REBLOG

Blue text indicates a link:

First off: Y'all be safe! Links on how to activate incognito mode on an Iphone and an Android phone and on chrome on a computer. Remember to delete your Youtube history after watching!

Point of Pride provides Binders AND Femme Shapewear. Provides sizing guides. International!

B4CK provides free, but gently used Binders and provides a sizing guide. Link goes directly to the ordering page since site layout is slightly confusing. Not sure how discreet the packaging is. Ships to the Contiguous US & Canada (meaning they do not ship to Alaska and Hawaii).

The Euphoria Project provides free gender-affirming care items such as binders, gaffs, breast forms, and packers. You will need to research what kind of item/the brand/size you want to receive.

The Phoenix Transition Program provides free binders to people living in the United States. Provides a size guide.

Kansas City Center For Inclusion offers a binder exchange program This service may only be usable for people in the Kansas City Metro, range of service is unclear.

The True Self Foundation's Binder Xchange Program is a service available to people living in Puerto Rico. the page (and site) is in Spanish, but can be translated into English via Google Translate pop-up. The application form is fully in Spanish, and cannot be translated directly via pop-up, but is easy enough to understand, and the relatively direct wording can be easily typed into Google Translate directly. Binders may need to be picked up on-site.

American Trans Resource Hub (ATRH) offers a free binder program that ships across America, but it looks like there may be a backlog of orders, but the service can be used by people 13 years and up

Links to lifehacks from the Transgender Equity Network Ireland for tips when binding or tucking for the first time

And here's a link to a Tumblr post showing a step-by-step guide on how to wash your binder. <3

whom?

[queerplatonicpositivity]

I started a new remote job last week, and I'm the only genderqueer person at the company (and the first person who uses neo pronouns that anyone on my team has ever met, apparently).

So far:

Manager carefully wrote down spelling and pronunciation of my pronouns and told everyone on the team to respect them.

Coworker apologized privately for misgendering me (I hadn't told her yet) and said she will practice.

Guy on another team valiantly tried to use my pronouns and ended up saying something like zirzs-zhizz (I DM'd him and thanked him for trying and linked him to a practice site).

Teammate told me he has written out my pronouns and how to use them in a sentence and literally taped it to his monitor so he can practice.

Teammate also referred to me as compañere after I linked to a comic about gender-neutral endings in Spanish (whole team except me + 1 other person speaks Spanish as first language and they held all meetings in Spanish before the two of us started).

I am so stoked that people are actually trying. 💜🤍💚

[transmasc-nightwing]

It's important to remember this kind of stuff, especially with the world the way it is now. When i started my current job and i told HR about my name and pronouns, she called me to ask which locker room i wanted to be in and told me where all the neutral bathrooms are (which is all of them except the locker rooms).

I've had to come out to my team a couple times because of new hires and whatnot but every time it has gone well. People aren't perfect but they try and they correct themselves. I usually just get nods of understanding and a couple of times people have asked me questions to understand better.

When one of my employees misgendered me despite me directly correcting her and I documented it, the site director texted me at MIDNIGHT to apologize and assure me that he and HR would handle it. The operations manager sent me a similar email the next morning.

We aren't alone. People care. People understand us and are on our side.

[startledoctopus]

i was starting a new job, and before i went in for my first training in the afternoon, i talked to my mom on the phone. she was very excited because a nonbinary person who used they/them had just starting coming to her kungfu classes. "i got their pronouns like a pro because of you, so i got to surprise them with this 60 year old lady being super smooth with their pronouns."

later at my onboarding, a younger coworker surprised me by asking for my pronouns (i hadn't yet considered whether i wanted to be out at work) and i automatically replied they/them. my new boss, standing next to me, went "oh excellent! my youngest is nonbinary, i got this."

not only is people making the effort for you special and beautiful, you're also making life easier for those who come after, in a beautiful pay-it-forward loop-de-loop of pronoun teaching

[violaceum-vitellina-viridis]

i was starting a new job, at a company i had worked at before, but this time with a new name. this company had a good reputation with chosen vs given/birth names, so i wasn’t worried about that, but i wasn’t really sure how the people i knew from before, or the new people who might see how i had two different names depending on where you looked in company info, would react

the trainer for my class knew my husband and texted him to make sure she not only had the right name for my temporary namecard, but also that she knew which pronouns to use for me, and when someone else in the class (innocently) misgendered me before introductions were done, made the correction for me and began introductions right then, asking everyone to include their pronouns, to make sure it wasn’t singling me out

now, as a substitute teacher, i use Mx. and many of my students and colleagues default to they/them without even being told or asked. some do ask, though, to make sure, to use the right ones.

the people who don’t care, who are actively hostile, are loud. but humans want to be united, we want to like one another, we are social creatures. there is more respect between us than what makes it onto the news.

[lord-of-christmas-lights]

I agree with the anon. Though, I'd say a rose. Or a pretty leaf. Or cool rock.

You give me cool lava rock vibes.

Ooh okay so I have put so much thought into what rock I'd be so first off

Lava rock meaning - supposedly good for grounding and keeping calm in times of stress. Also for connecting with nature. Supposedly linked with Taurus so you got that right for sure. So they're created when a volcano erupts, duh, so that makes them kinda unique from other igneous rocks. However, they're one of the most common rocks on Earth given the number of volcanoes in the ocean. Overall, 9/10 agreement that I'm a lava rock

However my personal opinion is that I'm malachite. 1 it's my favorite. 2 it supposedly helps with travel. I'm agoraphobic. 3 pretty sure it's also a Taurus stone. Also it's for protection and taking new paths. 4 malachite is a copper material. I'm valuable 😌 5 it's got a long history of use in the world from jewelery to paint pigment. I am an artist.

What would I be?

Hello friend 💗💚💕 (get over here. Get on a plane. Por favor. I want to hug you.)

Fun fact, if you come here instead, I'm here and so is my partner.

[lord-of-christmas-lights]

Yes but. $46 a credit at my college. No parents. Mountains. Redwoods. The beach. ✨California ✨

[cant-we-be-seventeen]

Yes but. College is stupid. I'm moving out soon. Mountains here too. No fire. Lakes. Connor. No T and K drama.

[lord-of-christmas-lights]

Okay listen. Is it drama though. Drama is like miscommunication and chaos. I personally have been very communicative and for once in my life not all that chaotic.

Plus. ✨California ✨ You can bring Connor with you. We have better mountains. And look. Lake. Cool stick at lake. We have cool sticks at our lake.

[cant-we-be-seventeen]

We have a beach here. It's called redneck beach. You can see tits. Normally on overweight men, but tits nonetheless. And we have two big lakes. And most importantly

ME

It's a win/Wynn

Also, I don't do planes. If you want me, you have to come here.

[lord-of-christmas-lights]

If you come here you can see tits at lakes too 👀 I'll go topless 👀😂

I don't need to see yours. I know what boobs look like, I assure you.
