While I wrote a 2-paragraph post that went up yesterday, I wanted to simply some of the images into a 6-line poem.
-- Child alive- her existence confirmed with new name and pronouns Must we go to the city to feel comfortable and alive? I conjured few dreams because those are for her Happiness, queerness, community Transgender and agender- we're together again. Can't be the only reason I don't grieve. -- Enjoy the other great Rainbow Snippets sharings here- both fiction snippets and book recommendations.

I mentioned the Rainbow Snippets hop here in my post yesterday; I didn't make it the #RainbowSnippets post though because it was well over 6 lines long. I was thinking about how overwhelming similarities of the non-binary vloggers on YouTube made me think I couldn't come out as non-binary. I wrote a short poem of thoughts for this hop.
-- My non-binary transition is mine … not to be confused with anyone else's, even a character of mine. Happy changed joys name; I'm okay with mine. Mandisa changed their pronouns; I'm pronoun indifferent. Mairead, Iven, and Tonya changed part of their genitals … I just want to wear a chest binder sometimes. -- To a bunch more great LGBTQIA+ fiction and book recs, check out the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook. And if you're beyond needing a 101 on non-binary gender as I am, here's an article by Sam Dylan Finch that I enjoyed today. ⚧ That's one symbol missing from the above picture. I find it ironic as the short poem I'm sharing, my first post for Rainbow Snippets, is about nonbinary gender and my "gender symbols" picture is missing any of the symbols that nonbinary people use for themselves. I'm still reeling from something transphobic someone said in my name. This poem came from my feelings about that.
---- My genderqueer friend--hir gender isn't a role Ze is genderqueer at hir core--gender assignment doesn't asked the assigned It's not for me-cisgender- to understand--just for me to respect Enby exist--just for me to respect I once thought just men and women existed--this isn't about me Cores are to be respected--nonbinary ---- And just so you know :D if you click on Rainbow Snippets above or on this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/ , you'll go to the public group on Facebook where you can find more links to more LGBTQIA+/queer fiction and book reviews. |
