It’s not my job to make you a better man and I don’t give a shit if I’ve made you a better man.

Coming Out

It’s national coming out day. I have a weird relationship with this day.  At 27 years old I haven’t actually come out that many times. I, for the most part, identify as female and I present relatively masculine which means most people assume my queerness.  (Labels are a thing for another day). I rarely correct anyone and I usually don’t have the energy to debate with people about what those assumptions do to the queer community.  

For me now making the assumption does almost nothing to me it almost makes my life easier but that's not true for most people and 15 years ago it wasn’t good for me either.  I’ve always been at least a tomboy and at 11 with no interest in boys or conversations about boys I was labeled a lesbian.  I had no idea what that meant or why people said it with such distain and I taxed myself emotionally and physically to try to get the whispers to stop. 

Most people remember the first time they came out.  They played the conversation over 100 times.  Think about where and when to have the conversation. They remember the response, good or bad, and it colors every other time they come out for the rest of their lives, super fun we get to do that forever.  For those of us who didn’t get to come out, didn't get the minimal security that control grants for that first time also are colored forever by that exchange and it can be mentally crippling.

So today on a day for celebrating queer people I’m asking that we all try to be better people and allow everyone to come out on their own terms. No one has the right to take away a persons identity.

Political Rant, well political rant adjacent

It’s not really about politics it’s about how we try to explain politics.  The analogy that people use the most, especially recently, around me is the public transit analogy.  This analogy is broken on so many levels and I need to break down why so I can stop thinking about it.

The Analogy: Politics is like public transit, you follow the candidate that is most closely getting to your destination just like getting on a bus.

Okay so many issues.

In public transit there are not just two options and yeah in politics we have other options when we start but its a populous driven system and eventually we’re only left with the two. 

Public transit is also a populous and monetary system, don't get me wrong but the whole point of public transit is options, perhaps here in the US where we don’t really have public transit people don’t understand why one is nothing like the other.  

Or maybe because we don’t have a fully developed public transit system is exactly why this analogy exist, do people just assume you get on what ever bus/train shows up at the stop and you just take it? (This might be come a rant at a later date)

Back to politics: So you back the one you want but they drop off and pretty soon you’re not at all headed in the direction you wanted to be going, in fact you’re headed the wrong way all together but it’s not as far in the wrong direction as the other option, so I guess that's what your doing.  But doesn’t that seem broken?  Politics has turned into the less of two evils at this point.

Okay I lied, getting a little political:

Using this analogy in the current state. I am a US citizen over the age of 18, it is my duty and obligation to vote. I hopefully am standing at the bus station with every US citizen able to vote, I’m for sure not but one can dream. I have two buses sitting in front of me, see above, and I have to get on one of them, otherwise I don’t know why I’m standing here.  I look at the two buses they are both headed in completely the wrong direction from where I want to be.  I’m pretty sure they’re also going almost the same distance in the wrong direction so that doesn’t help this time.  But the deciding factor for me is one of the buses in on fire and it doesn’t look to be going out any time soon so I’m getting on the other bus.

Going Crazy

I feel like I’m going insane.  I seem to have lost an item, what's weird about it is the two things that were connected to it I do have and yet I’ve looked through the entirety of the 750 sq ft I call my own and I can’t seem to find it to save my life.  Its not dire I don't have immediate need for it but my inability to find it is driving me insane. Even if I could pinpoint a time where I would have lost it I might feel marginally better but nope not a thing. Gone into the void along with the socks from the dryer.

We are all put on this earth to be a service to others and I am grateful that for some, my Cheerios ponytail and sassy sashays may have given a little light to someone somewhere, who may have needed it. To everyone whose heartfelt stories I have heard, or read I thank you for truly enriching my life.
