parachute
my parachute opened
i didn’t want that
i wanted to fall
fast and hard into the earth
my blood soaking the dirt
my bones shattered
my life over
but my parachute fucking
opened
and I’m here
im not supposed to be
here

Circumcision
Circumcision is genital mutilation. It harms boys and the men they become. There is no rational reason to cut off the foreskin of a baby boy. There are NO proven medical benefits, despite what the American Academy of Pediatrics state. Even they do not recommend it. But they DO encourage it. Who benefits? Not the boy.
Intact genitals are a human right. The boy should make the decision when he is an adult. I have not met one intact man who wants to have his foreskin cut off. I have met many intact men.
Don’t circumcise your boys. Let them decide.
evetything is different, everything is better
everything is different, everything is better… a lot of time has gone by since mom died. i’m a changed person and i continue to change daily. this has been a really difficult couple of years. a lot of old wounds have been opened up and that’s always painful. but i’m healing. i’m meditating. i’m living my life and i’m actually happy when i wake up in the morning. for decades i woke up angry at being alive. i’m alive and loving life. cherish every moment. everything is temporary. my intersex life is no longer a secret and that has given me reason to not just live but to fight for intersex rights and to raise awareness about people born like me, with ambiguous genitals, the doctors could not tell my mom and dad if i was a boy or a girl. i am a pseudohermaphrodite, born in 1960. i’ve been silent for decades about being Intersex. No more silence. No more shame. No more secrets. No more lies.
