Wiggums The Halfling Rogue

CN: Mentions of Suicide, mental health issues, ableism Doing choresthe simple and mundane tasksbecause right as of now…complex is too much to ask. Mental health matters!Scream the employers and politicians…But only if productivity doesn’t dip low. Only as long as you don’t arrive late,never show your “Illness,”and finish all projects on time.Make sure that you, your work, and your attitude…

Being broken and standing back up whenyou don’t want to and don’t have the strength to do so,is one of the bravest things in the world.Not once, but again and again and again.That is what is required, even when curledup in a ball is where you want to be. The world is like a rickety rideIn a run-down amusement park.You want to get off and go home,because you are exhausted and fried,but the ride…

Name Change Help: Credit Bureaus

Something people don’t tell you about changing your name is that it is not a one and done type of situation. Congratulations, your name is changed legally…but we are not going to tell anyone else: Not Social Security, DMV, the health department (for an updated birth certificate), your job, insurance, etc, etc, etc. One of the most painful ones of these are the credit bureaus. They take forever,…

Waking up in a body that I the only connection to was revulsion was one of the hardest realizations that I have ever come to. I told myself at 4 years old that I was wrong, different, and broken…and over the next 26 years, I did everything in my power to bury that creepy, crawly, ooky, icky feeling. It never quite went away, no matter what I did to silence it. Not sex, drugs, or rock and roll.…

I wrote this while at the BLM Pride protest in Schenectady, NY this afternoon. I hope that you enjoy. ——– Colourful Queers Facing their fears,and being their true selves,are the bravest beings on the planet. Stronger than Granite. We will not break,because, like that book that you use to condemn,We are stronger by standing togetherWhetherOr not you accept us,Or think we are sus,We will stand…

Pride Month (And Juneteenth) Reflections and Rantings

This Month, I have taken the time to write up a few different posts about different marginalized identities within the LGBTQIA+ community on my personal Facebook Account(s). I am going to aggregate them here. I will probably add some more, as I am apt to Rant. On Non-Binary Identities So, had a conversation with a friend this morning that sparked these thoughts that I thought All Y’all could…

Masterful,Magical,and Magnificent, Are words that are seldom usedto describe brings like me.Instead, the phrases describing usborder on abuse. Facts, not feelings, these bigots shout,Except, to them, facts have no clout.We give them hundreds of studies and peer reviewed journals,That show we are right,All we get in response are jeers. The facts they are talking about, are the ones that a badly…

For #InternationalWomensDay I wrote out my thoughts on what it means to be a woman.

So, today being International Women’s day, I have been thoughtful all day. Last year, I went to the local march, even though it was excruciatingly cold. I felt like I didn’t belong, or like I was an imposter, because I didn’t grow up in a body like theirs, and because I still had the benefits of male privilege at times. I was made to feel welcome, and the relationships that I formed that day are…

I wanted to finish this this morning, but I needed some time to reflect. These are my thoughts on #ElectionDay and #TransRights. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids

Good morning friends. I am in a very contemplative state this week, but especially today. Today being election day in the US. We have a very broken system, that cannot be denied. The powers that be tell us it is a Democracy, which is nothing but a pipe dream, we are much closer to an Oligarchy, and our current President would have it be a Monarchy or a Facist state with him and his family as the…

Can’t I be fragile sometimes, too?

*Note: These are my feelings and thoughts, not anyone else’s, especially not any other trans person’s. So, don’t use this as an excuse to call all trans people, or all trans women weak. If you do, you are an asshole. Full Fucking Stop*

I am an author and poet. I am an advocate and ally for oppressed peoples of all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders. I am head of a grassroots organization…

What may be…

So, I have some family that is resistant to using my pronouns and calling me Justice; instead using my birth name and pronouns.

While most of you will find it hard to believe that I have a hard (almost impossible) time speaking up when they are misgendering me and deadnaming me, what with how outspoken, visible, and how much of an advocate I am for myself and others…this is one of the hardest…

The first one is: Do you feel like you were socialized differently from boys? Differently for girls?

Prefacing this with, this is only my experience, I can’t speak for all trans…

So, a friend asked me today why I identify as a trans woman instead of as just a woman, because it seems like I am separating/sub-categorizing  myself. I could have just commented, but instead, I decided to write it out thoughtfully. There are many reasons, and it is a choice I made, and make on a daily basis to continue.

Preface: This is only my experience and opinion. I do not speak for…

Random thought that I had yesterday.

I am going to preface this with, not attacking anyone, just something that I have been reflecting on and made me think. I also could be just overthinking this, as I am apt to do at times, so please let know your thoughts.

If however, you see this as an attack and feel the need to defend your religion, you can just go ahead and keep scrolling, that is not my…

Let your being fly free

Who is the one that you are?

Are they near

Or are they far?

What has kept you from finding them?

I would guess that it is fear.

Do you really want to live your life for someone else,

Giving up parts of yourself with nothing in return?

Instead, why not be true,

instead of letting your heart and mind constantly churn

With thoughts, hopes, and dreams, of what you wish you could be,

Let your being…

Victory!

Euphoria!

Magic!

Tragic!

Loss!

Disheartened!

Joy!

Love!

Hate!

Emptiness!

All of these and more,

Are what life has in store

For those that continue the ride

Even when it feels like everything has been tried.

I say to you my friend,

Press on!

This is not the end,

This is barely the beginning.

Even though your head, heart, and soul may be spinning

With 1000s of thoughts, regrets, broken…
