Sigh.<br /><br />Personally, I've never been one to jump on the "death of the author" bandwagon, and can still enjoy a good, engaging story like the <i>Harry Potter</i> series (which I probably loved too much), while recognizing and being unhappy about the real-world issues with authors who are ableist, homophobic, transphobic, and what have you. The J.K. Rowlings and Orson Scott Cards of the world, you could say.<br /><br />I would be happier if the authors of some of my favorite books were better people, though.VAXhackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674748277200274938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20059368.post-21153870983578460932023-12-01T08:05:58.699-08:002023-12-01T08:05:58.699-08:00There is so much to say about being aware of how t...There is so much to say about being aware of how terrible and dangerous trans people are to the very fabric of society and all that is good and proper about the world, and plenty of it is being said and repeated.<br /><br />The greatest counter to that, in my opinion and experience, is <i>actually getting to know or at least talking to, a real trans person</i>. And as you find that the people you're talking to are human beings doing their best to make their way in this world, with the added layers of undeserved weight of struggling against a challenge to find their identity and how to be true to their genuine selves, but also doing so in a world that seems determined to stop them from simply living their lives at every turn.<br /><br />But I guess that works kind of like that with all kinds of prejudices.<br /><br />I hope, as more trans people find their voices and their stories heard by a wider audience, and people give an honest try to just understand their fellow humans instead of dismissing them out of hand as "too other", that we can see a transition away from hate and prejudice and toward empathy and caring for one another.VAXhackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674748277200274938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20059368.post-70352708685502584052021-12-26T20:40:42.329-08:002021-12-26T20:40:42.329-08:00I was late to seeing this, but it looks like they ...I was late to seeing this, but it looks like they did Halloween, but then did not do Christmas.

Ever...I've learned 'one day at a time'. Every day begins a new adventure. Sure, you don't know what you'll be doing in five years, but whatever it is you could choose to do it open minded and with grace and dignity. No joke there's lots happening around us that our futures may be shorter than we expect, but we can't live in the past or future trip. I heard someone say recently 'If you have one foot in the past and the other in the future, you are shitting on today.'

I was envious of your interactions with the "popular" kids. I was so awkward and still am. I also had a hard time with clothing. Since my sister adopted me, and was just out of college, I had very little clothing options. I had a little paperback book that was something about how to pair shirts and pants and belts and colors and jewelry (not that I had all those things) ... I don't remember what the title was, but it was really wore out by the time I met Brian and settled on jeans and flannels and t-shirts for the rest of my life.<br />I admire the person you were, and I admire the person you are.

I have worked on myself and have learned that I can only control my actions and re-actions. <br /><br />I am so happy to read that you are working on the love for yourself but that "in between" stage is so fun and yes so exciting. The way you smile for no reason, hear his voice in your head and see his face in your mind. <br /><br />Enjoy this time Gina!

Public high school can be a place where you can be in head to toe covering, nothing tight and still find yourself violated by being groped as you walk through the hallways or even in the classroom in front of the teacher. I think it is a message that young girls need to learn. Consent is not just for sex, it's for being touched and I feel that young girls need to know that if they say no, it should stand. I also know it can go both ways as girls are not always appropriate, but as a writer, I just wrote it from my viewpoint. Thank you for the nice comments about our music, and we will be releasing 6 new singles we recorded right there in Oregon in the very near future.Clionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20059368.post-21837334871804470392016-09-21T21:58:13.148-07:002016-09-21T21:58:13.148-07:00Oh my dear friend, yes I can relate.

I refuse to ask for help or delegate anything, mostly because I feel like I don't do enough. Also, I don't trust people to do it right in a timely manner or to do it at all.
