trigger: FTM dysphoria
Once a month
I am a solider
bleeding out red
onto the cot in the medical tent.
Horrified by my own body,
I change my own bandages
every two hours or so.
I lie on the cot for hours,
unable to sleep because of the emptiness between my legs.
I am a recovering soldier at the stage where
I am longing for something I must have once had

Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.”
Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion more than a woman’s, or when you ask a man for information or advice rather than a woman.

unknowablewoman:
Connecticut congressman Chris Murphy is challenging the GOP Oversight Committee to hold a hearing on the birth control coverage mandate that includes women’s voices—you know, the people who it will actually affect. I don’t know where the petition signatures actually go, but it takes literally two seconds; all you have to give is your email address and first name.

Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color.
