Something small and different dreaming of somethin

Something small and different dreaming of something big and different... And a reminder that different can be destructive but it can also be beautiful, collaborative, supportive, and fulfilling. Destruction is not necessarily oppositional to this- it may in fact be a part of it. But by no means is it the entirety of it, or the end. Seeing what grows is beautiful and ripe with so many exciting potentials.

Hopping on the non-binary visibility day thing a d

Hopping on the non-binary visibility day thing a day late, with a picture of the spot I seem to be simultaneously most looked at and least seen. I love movement and it is medicine in making my body feel like my own. It is also one of the spaces I seem to be misgendered most (especially when performing). And to be honest I still haven’t figured out how to navigate that, even many years into that world, especially considering I am not looking to pass as ‘male’ as that is not my identity. One of my favorite lines, from a performance a while back, was from a older white woman woman whose older white husband was in the process of hitting on me after the show; assuring me that (in a multitude of variations) “you’re so strong for a woman. So muscular but don’t worry it’s still feminine. Very feminine.”… which for a trans person who is very much not a woman, I promise you is not what I wanted to hear (Maybe “hey ___, stop hitting on that performer and let’s go home” would have been cool). So here’s my little attempt towards that into the internet void, prompted by a day that if we’re being honest I really didn’t remember was a thing; look. I am both shiny and non-binary. It’s a thing. Just because I’m upside down, turns out, that doesn’t change that fact. And acknowledging my variance from your binary conception of gender (in terms of strength or otherwise) is absolutely best done without assuring me over and over again that you still see me as cis. Thanks for attending my rant, and if any gnc/ nb performers have tips on navigating that themselves, I’m all ears (although I’d like to acknowledge that I’ve found a marked improvement when the person on the ground doing safety/ handling for me is visibly gnc/queer, would recommend) Photo by the incredible @brandinghouse
