Here's the media shareable version of https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113932062656410421

when in doubt, anything of mine most likely follows https://oql.avris.it/license and even if it doesn't, dw. I'll appreciate if you go by the queer license in any case.

Here's the abridged version, mostly the end. I feel like these stanzas are more widely applicable to most people or situations. Probably more accessible. too. (A little reworked to make it flow a bit better for most readers.)

"Whom you want to be - Lyrics or poem

All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.

No one else will feel your feelings.
No one else can cry your tears.
No one else may think your viewpoints.
No one else should stoke your fears.

Trans people exist?
Hello, I'm one!
Nonbinary just means "person".
What a kind idea we won.

Is it nice to meet you?
I'm not really sure.
Had you considered being trans, too?
Did I ever know you, anymore?

To be real is not to repeat
the last thing you have read.
To be "biased" means
you've opinions in your head.

I can no longer make myself care.
Maybe if you loved yourself more,
while you will not see me there,
you'd have more chance to tone down the scorn.

Do I deserve to have kids?
What if I turn into you?
Oh, dear god(s), no! I can't risk that.
The core idea rips me in two.

I love them too much in advance
to avoid asking of ourselves:
"May we bring into existence
people whose time may never tell?"

How do I avoid that?
I'm terrified to be you.
A child is not a cat,
but fully-formed human, new.

All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.

Ban fossil lobbying; and act!
Long-term, more extreme weather?
Climate change patterns collapse.
We've plenty solutions clever.

Problems from hierarchy
ingress beneath our skin.
Set aside your worries;
Become your strength within.

You cannot redo high school.
Become yourself, a real adult.
What can you do; who are you?
Feel emotions, more than sulk.

HRT may have advantages
for who you want to be.
Think past the many challenges.
Imagine yourself free. "

(but also that
Lily Alexandre video about DIY HRT
you can find on youtube, nebula, and archival places for as long as possibly, hopefully.)

[Also, the bias / opinion bit is about e.g. hearing the phrase "filter bubble", then immediately testing everyone you know whether they are less that you for succumbing to our shared systems.]

NEW BOOK ALERT!!

I've been secretly working on a project very special for me, a book of poems inspired by my journey of self-discovery as an immigrant, exploring language, faith, mental health, and blood bonds. Behold AS IT GETS DARKER!
