tw: triggering/transphobic language
how do i get people to stop calling the “student exchange” (campus convenience store) a shortened name of “s.exchange”
all i’ve ever been able to do it stare, pause for too long of a time, push my yelling internal self aside, and mask up to respond.
tw/content: survival, needs, bruises, silence, body, love, family
trying to channel the motion i and we and they all need so badly for survival. struggling to find the medium for my needs. pushing through any way. reaching out with bruised hands. pulling my selves and our selves and others if they consent into motion. pulling my self out of silence. loving as gently as i can. with my own body. with my spirit. with my needs wants desires. with all of me. and my folx, and my kin, my family.

Tw: body size stuff
I’ve been eatin the foods I want. Including French fries, meat, coffee, Noodles, bread and cheese. Today my jeans fit tighter when I put them on in the morning. I kept them on, differently from how i will usually change when that happens, and for the day i will continue to wear them.
i almost forgot what shaving felt like…
so today I decided to shave my underarms. I stopped shaving this past september (2010) and although I much prefer not shaving, I have a “family vacation” coming up where my father, his wife, her 2 sons around my age, my sister and her husband will all collide into a medley of family fun.
shaving is really weird because I never had to do it every day anyway. Both my leg and arm hair grows really slowly and is somewhat sparse so I did it infrequently, especially when winter rolled around. When I first played around with not shaving, I didn’t get much past two or three weeks. You know when your (head)hair is growing out and it’s at the awkward stage? Thats what it’s like with body hair too! So then I thought about it and realized I had never seen what my leg hair looked like. I started shaving around the 6th grade when I barely had more than peach fuzz on any part of my body. I had never seen any of my body hair, for that matter. I had learned at an early age from my mother and sister that girls shave all the parts of their bodies that grow hair around puberty-time. So, this school year, I stopped shaving. And it felt really uncomfortable because I felt like everyone was always looking at me and judging me and making a lot of assumption or just being grossed out. But it felt good because that’s how I wanted to be. It’s been a hard process to feel comfortable with it, and I still can’t around family/people from back home really. I feel kinda like a sell out for shaving because I didn’t want to deal with anything from my family/people at the beach with me. But it’ll grow back and in the mean time I’ll still be WonderQueer and challenge the patriarchy/gendernorms and shit.
So now I’m all bare and stuff and it’s weird… and I can no longer WHIP MY HAIR BACK N FORTH.
