Trans*


When we are born, we are usually (sometimes not i.e. intersex) born with either a penis or a vagina. Sometimes we come to realize that that penis or vagina doesn't fit the identity we feel inside. Lets say you are born with a vagina but you know that really you are a guy inside. This is called being Trans* or   trans·gen·der
transˈjendər,tranzˈjendər/
adjective
  1. denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender.
    "a transgender activist and author"

 I have written a tad about trans stuffola here:http://www.hannahsprojectrainbow.com/2014/03/look-into-life-of-transgender-11-year.html
Sometimes one does not identify with only one gender. There are so many genders out there because gender is a spectrum. Lets get something straight (ha!) though. Gender and Sex are NOT the same thing. gen·der
ˈjendər/
noun
  1. 1.
    the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
    "traditional concepts of gender"
    sex
    seks/
    noun

    2. 2.
      either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions.
      "adults of both sexes"
      synonyms:gender
      "adults of both sexes"
    3. So we can see here that gender is cultural and social while sex is biological. 
    Here is a nice image demonstrating how gender as well as sexuality is a spectrumGenderbread-Person-3.3
  2. . 
So now you know! There is so much more to learn and be curious (like bi-curios!) about. This is not something to be afraid of at all. So be an ally, and educate yourself!

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
