Speak to the Controversy: February 2014
http://speaktothecontroversy.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Speak to the Controversy. Orientation. Gender. Sexuality. Faith. Taboo. Discussion. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. My criticism arises, as always, first and foremost with my own experience with gender. "Transmasculine" is the label that applies to me by definition. I'm FAAB, DFAB, and grew up as a relatively feminine girl. I am no longer a feminine girl, instead opting to wear more masculine clothing and identify more closely with man identities than I used to. It seems at first glance to fit. Self-justified...

http://onmoltenwax.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Wind, Stone, Metal: 17 March 2013. The candle seemed so old and tired and pointless to me this morning. Too warm and cozy. A ball of wind came into mind and swept away the candle. That seemed much calmer, strangely. It bothered me less and sat more comfortably. If you've ever watched Avatar, The Last Airbender. Sunday, March 10, 2013. Squirminess: 10 March 2013. There were two songs that connected to me in particular:. And Blessed Be Your Name. Sunday, March 3, 2013. A good, but v...

Speak to the Controversy: August 2013
http://speaktothecontroversy.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Speak to the Controversy. Orientation. Gender. Sexuality. Faith. Taboo. Discussion. Monday, August 26, 2013. Every time I think about it it becomes more absurd. I imagine a conversation something like this:. Oh, because it’s what distinguishes men from women. So men can’t wear dresses? No, they can, but it’d be taboo. So people in dresses can technically go into men’s restrooms and most people in the women’s restroom wear pants - what actually distinguishes the bathrooms from each other? Experience. ...

Speak to the Controversy: June 2013
http://speaktothecontroversy.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Speak to the Controversy. Orientation. Gender. Sexuality. Faith. Taboo. Discussion. Sunday, June 30, 2013. For practical intents and purposes, it's valid to say that I figured out that I loved when I was 12. Lots of shit happened when I was 12. That and 13 were the most terrible years of my life. Sometimes the love and the hate get mixed up, because emotion is complicated, but I think it's supposed to be that way. Part of me is glad that consent is that. Evidently, three years after that. I am proud of e...
