Queerly Trans Doing a Thing

Did you miss any of these great posts? Well, go check them out.

WRITING PROMPT RESPONSE: “I Saw the Sign” I Didn’t See the Gendered Language Sign by KP_the_writer — 4 Min Read

As we’ve established, I didn’t see the signs. Any of them. Like driving down a highway of billboards while fishing by my feet for a dropped pen (because writer), I missed them all. But now that I’m sitting back up, because let’s face it, how often do I use a pen anymore, I can look back at the dashcam, and OMG, there they were. Just because I didn’t see them or acknowledge them, doesn’t mean they were never there.

WRITING PROMPT RESPONSE: “What Came First, the Trans or the Queer?” Coming Out Burn Out by Logan Silkwood — 7 Min Read

In the movies, and in the lives of many in our community, coming out is a dramatic moment… In many movies, coming out is a one time event. You get it over with, things fall apart, and then you rebuild, if you survive. This hasn’t been my experience.

Saving Women’s Sports from Trans Women? by Logan Silkwood — 6 Min Read

Pseudo medical professionals who clearly had no experience with patients on E (Estradiol) talked about “scientifically proven masculine level strength” remaining after medical transitions, while a fellow protestor who was a trans woman incredulously whispered from behind us: Strength? I can’t even open my refrigerator door at this point!

Never Let Trolls Stop Your Writing by KP_the_writer — 6 Min Read

Writing on here, can be scary. Putting yourself out there, opening yourself to criticism and judgment, can be scary. And for those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, and specifically those of us willing and wanting to write about our own experiences as members of that community, the fear can be downright halting.

Beginning 2022 With Art & Productivity by Jymi Cliche — 4 Min Read

We’re off to another year in uncertain times. I got a lot done last year and set many goals going into 2022; but the main goal is always to keep going, and do my best, whatever that looks like.

Victorious Voicemail by Victoria Quinn — 2 Min Read

This marks the first voicemail I have received as Victoria. So affirming! Victoria, in Latin, means conquest, triumph, victory. Accepting myself as transgender and coming out certainly feels like a triumphant victory!

Driving Under the Influence of T by Logan Silkwood — 5 Min Read

My tank was almost full, and I wasn’t going to be one of those ridiculous people who waited in line for hours just to top off their tanks! I was so much smarter than that. Really. Don’t look at me like that. I had it together.

My Blooming Genitals (part 1) by Logan Silkwood — 8 Min Read

Nuns and transgender people are the only ones I know of who have ever referred to it as “down there”. My first doctor unfortunately preferred a more direct approach: “…and then there would be clit growth. It will ALMOST BE LIKE A LITTLE TINY PENIS!”

The Waiting Game by Victoria Quinn — 2 Min Read

We wait for inner acceptance. We wait for an end of denial. We wait for the egg to crack. We wait for identity. We wait for truth. We wait for self-love. We wait for happiness. We wait for pride. We wait for ourselves to shine.

Part 2 of Discussing My Genitals by Logan Silkwood — 7 Min Read

Have you ever specified to a cis man before a first date that he must have at least 152.4 millimeters of protruding genital flesh available to satisfy you?

My First E-gasm, I Think… by Jenny Starr — 6 Min Read

I don’t remember any parent lessons on masturbation, but since we were in a catholic home, maybe that was to be expected? All I know is once I ‘discovered IT’ I thought I had struck gold! I was going to change the world with my discovery — solo sex! IT would be the new hotness and I would be rich and famous.

Overflowing with Man Juice by Logan Silkwood — 2 Min Read

They explained that this was a little higher than the average cis male in my age range. It seems that my cells have been acting like little man juice vampires, sucking up every drop like their microscopic lives depend on it.

Paintings, Poetry, & Party Planning by Jymi Cliche — 4 Min Read

First of all, I don’t think it’s a great idea to be gathering for parties right now… It’s hard; and the world is struggling to hold on, which is why I was gonna throw an art show/open mic party on Zoom tonight, but now I’m having second thoughts.

Is the Protective Energy I’m Getting from that Man Juice Healthy? by Logan Silkwood — 4 Min Read

Though it’s probably healthiest and safest to imagine rescuing oneself, if I’m being honest, I see rescuing as a social act, something that plays out constantly in books, movies, and television shows.

A Time I Thought I Was Going to Die by Logan Silkwood — 3 Min Read

Hiding rainbows inside me in the Bible Belt had nearly killed me for the first time.
