I am a non-binary, trans-masc writer. I work to dismantle internalized structures of oppression, such as the gender binary, class, and race. My writing is personal but anecdotally points to a larger political picture of systemic injustice.

    ❤️ Strangers stupidity pushing boundaries. When off guard, I am like a rabid hound. I am so tired of stupid people. Well written Kp!

    Wow so hurtful and how do you respond? Here is a response in haiku: they are ignorant, yes, they are a sorry piece, and not worth my time!

    Lovely. Having a sense of self awareness, empathy, and humor is essential armor in this world. Well done!
