"Hello! My name is Alexa, though I go by Poison. Why say Alexa though? Because the man I am named after is my grandmams brother, who unfortunately died in 1987 to AIDS. I honor him, love him with all my heart, with all my being, I see him in myself, and I love the meaning of the name which means "defender of mankind."
I'm a disabled, queer, indigenous, latine transgender person who goes by fae/faer/faers pronouns. My alias is Poison, my username on Instagram is @poisonvuitton, and I have been trying to start my own community organization @aidforantivenom."
"I'm huge on activism, expression through the arts; more specifically poetry, modeling, photography, photographing MYSELF! Alt style, my piercings, my makeup, my tattoos, the body modification I most want which is getting my ears pointed!! And reconnecting with my indigenous identity, finding out who I am more and more on a daily basis. Learning my ancient indigenous language, keeping the culture and my lineage alive. I come from a line of Shamans in my tribe, specifically the Mapuche tribe of Chile."
"I'm proud of who I am as a person, a born leader, and super ambitious. A Virgo... basically (lol,) but hey don't judge me 🫠 I also have a Taurus moon and Scorpio rising, Leo Venus (I love hard,) Libra mercury, and Sagittarius mars. A weird fact about me is that my two most serious relationships and my current serious relationship are all Sagittarius', isn't that crazy?"
"Here is a link to some of my poetry, it continues to be updated:

This is my chuffed for those who want to read more about my situation and share it:

"Being transgender in 2026? Well, it's difficult, yet beautiful, and so freeing and important to be visibly queer and transgender for myself. I hate conforming in any way, shape, or form. I want people to see and hear me and be moved by my presence. They sure are by the looks my girlfriend and I get in passing at the park...."
"The political climate is dangerous. I worry more for my transfemme sisters/girlfriend, especially BiPOC trans women and men and non conforming, I want us to receive more visibility. We face a lot more violence and my heart goes out to all of us, we face violence in general, but I don't think we can speak on us BiPOC enough, ESPECIALLY BLACK TRANS WOMEN!!!!!!!
I think there needs to be more of a focus on mutual aid, that is a form of visibility as well for me and the community."
"We are more likely to be declined for jobs and that's such a huge financial strain especially over here in South Florida. I'm currently going through that myself (wish me luck, I'm waiting on results for one of my dream jobs!!) Another form of visibility is getting involved in our community, like, even if I hate you, I don't actually hate you because at the end of the day if I saw you struggling I would help you. I think we should keep that mindset for our community, because even if you don't like a member they still need resources. Don't forget art, uplifting our voices and expression! Paying us fully for our work even if you are a "friend." Supporting our work wholeheartedly. Not asking for handouts knowing you have the privilege to pay."
"Lastly, I think visibility for myself is just being loud and proud and out there and not being afraid to take up space or correct people or to defend myself. When I was younger I cosplayed as a gender I was not for an ex's comfort, and I'm tired of doing that to make others comfortable it's like a friend and partner filtration system because the genuine ones who are meant to be in my life stay. With love, Poison!"
