Trans Identity - O. Passmore

 The Trans Identity

By: Olivia Passmore

 

I yearn for the days in which I will feel at one with myself.

What am I to do when I cannot even look myself in the eye?

How do I accept myself while knowing this is not the earthly body in which I am meant to occupy?

I stare and stare and receive nothing but contempt in return.

My hair is too short.

Lips too pursed.

Eyes too wide, cheeks too flushed, forehead too long.

How am I meant to change these things in which cause me restlessness

When I am stuck in a society that persecutes my very existence?

I know who I am.

I know what I am meant to be.

So let society persecute me if I dare to destroy all that is holy and let myself be reborn.

Let society scream in the name of its foreign god and strike me down with the weight of heaven.

I will make peace with myself one day,

And I will leave society behind me.

  The Man in the Mirror    By: Madeline Reid   The chilly air blowing in through the open window wakes me, brushing my hair into my face and wetting my skin with the morning dew . Letting out a breathy sigh I open my eyes and sit up. Stretching my arms out above my head I let out a yawn before peeling the warm covers off my body and letting the chilly air hit it. Stumbling around the room I grab a few random pieces of clothing that lay in a myriad of places around the bedroom. I slowly pull on the loose shirt and jeans and make my way over to the large vanity that sits in the corner of the room. Without looking in the mirror I pull the few makeup items from their places and place them on the vanity . When I look up, I gasp in surprise as I make eye contact with a pair of bright sea-green eyes , that appear to be just as surprised as I am. Taking in the face the eyes belong to I take notice of the strong roman nose that is just slightly crooked, t he thick reddish...
