"The day you claimed AIDS was a gift of God our wheels started spinning like Christ turning over in His grave" --- as a gay-affirming Christian, that line gives me chills.
This is one transkid who will never allow myself to take a knife to the gut, because if I did it would prove that the hate could pierce me and NOTHING is weaker then a bigot with blade backed only by preconceived notions. And NOTHING is stronger then a warrior with a reason to live and a prayer left on his tongue, and I am that warrior. I always will be.
@stjesuskat666 I met her in Baltimore. She's suprisingly short. I wanted to thank herso much, but I was just wicked nervous to talk to her. I love her!
@melonleeadventures Or how they dress~ I've seen a person before who identified as a male, but loved women and wore dresses. You never know who the person is.
Transguy here! I wish people would realize how fluid gender really is. I dress 'butch' with plaid jackets and band t-shirts and baggy jeans, but shop for earrings and leggings at claire's, and I couldn't live without the colour pink.
@LennonForever1 Sorry to correct you (love your username by the way) but you're thinking of neutrois, gender-neutral, genderless and agender identities. Androgynous is an identity which encompasses those who identify as both male and female. Genderqueer is the umbrella pretty much all identities which aren't strictly male or female fall under. So we're both right about the definition of genderqueer. :)
For one, this is a women. And for two, weather you dislike her poetry or not, she is an artist and no artist likes to be downgraded in anyway. Especially not from someone like you, people like are the reason she writes poetry likes this and it's people like you that make me sick.

@blazneg2007 if you watch more of her performances, you may agree with the term "genius"

Andrea Gibson is my spirit animal

@xxeyesadriftxx I'd probably be nervous too...so I don't know if I could actually get the courage to thank her, but I can hope I could, right?
@cassmasterflexxx doubtful but possible
wow. wow.
@legitlexit21 it's pink barrette :)

@theforthwright Ya know, genius has a specific meaning. She is talented and wonderful, but really you have no idea if she is a genius based on this.
@theforthwright I accept =]

@FutileObsession what's a papperet?
@6devils6princess6 that makes two of us
I can guarantee a haircut will never tell you anything about someone's gender, who they love or how they fuck.
how?
im not a lesbian...but i would be for her :)
@betch7809 I believe she has an androgynous gender identity (identifying as male and female at the same time).
I don't like this.
I love this.

i was being sarcastic....you said you were a girl twice.
