If you don’t already know, Raven and I are in the process of coming up with a zine/pamphlet-type situation all about transmisogyny. Since transmisogyny intersects a lot with race in a way we haven’t experienced, we’d really like to include trans women of color’s views on the matter. The pamphlet is going to phrased as theory and an explanation of transmisogyny...

colorfulqueerdom:
Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color. It’s a short 10 question survey, please give as much detail as possible. It explores both race and gender in relation to queer relationships and sex lives.

clouded mind like the top of a volcano
racing through my thoughts
can’t seem to focus
on anything
but the ifs
and should’ves
and the could’ves
and the maybes
and the could bes
and the would bes
and there is no resolution

and i’m exhausted
by you
utterly
exhausted

We…

I appreciate seeing this sentiment voiced someplace other than in my own thoughts; I love the show, but the depictions bother me for this very reason. I get that misogyny and the devaluing of femme are wider cultural problems, and that I can’t expect...
