Holcomb, not only are you a fantastic artist, but you're doing God's work (and I'm not even Christian)

NO MORE! (Werewolves Hate Nazi's) by Ryngs

I try so hard not to fake who I am around those that I love. But there are versions of me that are older than the one that's noticing this now. And I haven't met all of them yet.

Let me explain. No there's too much. Let me sum up.

I use Parts Therapy to help me identify my trauma and learn to speak to it. I've identified at least 5 parts that exist solely to protect me from potential danger/trauma similar to previous trauma.

The oldest part is simply named Monster, my main protector. He protects me from actual threats, verbal or physical. He's feral and overly protective, jumping to the fore with any perceived attacks.

Following right behind is Timid Mouse, my fear response. If Monster can't handle it, or isn't *supposed* to handle it, Mouse takes over and ruuuuuns away! Ultimately, he's looking for a place to hide.

Grumpy IT guy is the one that knows all the computer things and would much rather be doing anything else.

Rockstar is the performer of the group. If I have to speak or sing in front of others, he takes over and takes it up a notch.

Finally, I recently found the Bouncer, who stands between me and any negative things my parents might have done. I won the parent lottery, so that kinda makes sense. He keeps me from blaming them for *anything* They might have done. There are some things that I remember that qualify as "abuse" but they were so few I often didn't remember them unless prompted.

Those are my primary parts and what they mean to me. They are more, but they are very specific or personal. I expect your next question is: What do you do with them once you have them?

The amygdala, your animal brain, is capable of taking over your entire body to react to any stimuli you face. If you're scared or angry or lustful, your amygdala can Do Things Without Your Input.

I use my parts to help me identify and classify my emotional reactions to things. I know when certain things happen, one of them with come up to handle it unless or until I spend some time on that emotion.

If I blow up at someone with no real provocation it's likely that Monster has appeared.

If I don't respond to messages and just go silent until someone reaches out, Timid Mouse is likely in charge.

Learning to calm the animal within to avoid hurting others is my primary goal and Parts Therapy combined with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) have helped me immensely. It took focus and their was lots of crying and pain, but I'm far more capable of being a decent human now without all of those automatic reactions.

That's enough for now. I'll just leave you with a few questions.

What are your parts?

Why are they there?

How can you learn to help them to only respond to actual danger?

Good luck. See you in the world!

The depths in which Stone Butch Blues has resonated with me is so difficult to capture. 

Reading about trans person with a complicated relationship with said gender, which first and foremost happens so rarely that I wept when I read the first few pages of Stone Butch Blues, means so much to me. Ze really serves as representation for me as a gender queer person that I really haven’t seen anywhere else. And not only did hir book revolve around a character like this, but ze lived that experience and fought for hir’s demographic to be represented in the LGBT community, which is a debt I know I can never repay.

I personally can’t speak for the Jewish LGBT sect of the community, but this prominent person was also Jewish, a demographic that is so severely underrepresented. And yet, here is one of the most important people in queer history, and I unapologetically stand by that, is Jewish and is so rarely talked about. I don’t doubt that there are people in our community who are so happy to see someone like them that defined this community in such a major way.

But also, Leslie Feinberg also wrote and lived the experience of being in this grey area of gender and continued to live hir truth as a lesbian, which so many people fight against now and so many other people feel as though they aren’t allowed to do, myself included. But there is no way that TERFs and gatekeepers can take our spot from the lesbian/sapphic table; Leslie made space for us so long ago, and it’s not going anywhere.

I love history and I so often ground myself in knowing the history of my people, meaning the people who made it possible for me to be here. And I consider Leslie Feinberg one of my people who paved the way for me and people like me.

Long story long, read Stone Butch Blues, know your queer history, stop gatekeeping our community, be a gay communist, and punch Nazis.

Sounds highly specific but ok.

I don't do these every day but I'm happy that I got a picture of these healed and downsized paired tongue piercings. I'm hanging out in kalispell for another day before I head home. #appmember #piercing #tonguepiercing #piercingbynathan #natzero #punchnazis (at Creative Body Piercing and Fine Body Jewelry) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHOsCgF9eu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vi1dq9z3sr6a
