Not SO long ago, when Fox and Belle travelled the states to bring joy and educate the people about bisoxuality, we inspired people too! > Drag King Goran – Bring Me To Life-Evanescence

Ode to the Fingerprint on My Left Middle Finger
O fingerprint on my left middle finger
I have abused you,
and used you,
and yet your loops and swirls have ever returned
You have been burned
cut
scraped
scratched
bitten and yet
Through all, you stay attached
The power you wield can’t be matched
you make me unique
It’s true
I wouldn’t be entirely me without you
and you are all I witness
when I’m cut off in traffic
and I seek
a means
to question another’s driving fitness
O fingerprint on my left middle finger,
Nothing could ever replace thee!
The only way it could be better,
Is of you, I had two!

Visible Bodies
Yesterday I did a photo shoot for A project called Visible Bodies: Transgender Narratives Retold
It is a community project with the goal to ’empower trans people and educate cis gender people’. Some of you know, I haven’t always been comfortable with my gender identity. For a long time I felt I was expected to pick one and go all in, but neither gender fits me very well. Over time I learned that I don’t hate my body, I just hate the role in society that was expected of it. Because of projects like Visible Bodies where trans people can use their own voices and speak their truths, I’ve realized that the difficulty doesn’t lay within me, that the culture itself needs to be reshaped to serve all humanity, including myself, and that made all the difference. With Visible Bodies I can give back and add my voice as a gender queer performer telling my story too. Everyone’s story is unique, and it can not be over stated how much speaking out and being heard as trans, breaking that barrier of invisibility, can heal and strengthen a broken soul, and change the hearts of others.
If you identify as trans, visit their website. If you want to financially help with this project (every $ helps!) so more people can be heard, here is the link to the indiegogo fundraiser.
There are volunteer opportunities too!
Keep your eyes on my FB And Twitter feeds and ‘like’ their FB page for more updates. This is going to be an amazing project!
