Transition 10.0: Selfies, Sexuality, and Shame | Gwen Benaway

https://gwenbenaway.wordpress.com/2016/12/23/transition-10-0-selfies-sexuality-and-shame

2 Spirited Poet and Frequent Reader. Ceremonies for the Dead. Transition 10.0: Selfies, Sexuality, and Shame. December 23, 2016. Sometimes I engage with them, sometimes I don’t. It’s hard to be caught in the middle of a 2. Or are they the only ones which validate him as a man? The prize, the symbol of success as a man. And trans girls like me? Second class, disposable. And orgasms. Girl orgasms are so different and better (? How do you live with the violence of that gaze? And why do I talk about it?

dadirri – silent awareness | under the tea tree

https://magpielark.wordpress.com/2013/12/24/dadirri

Under the tea tree. Order of bards, ovates, and druids. Dadirri – silent awareness. December 24, 2013. There is a deep spring inside of us,. A vast silence like the desert. Here, in this space. Time and timelessness,. Peace in silent awareness. I listen and wait. We watch the seasons come and go,. Watch the moon wax and wane,. Wait for the fruit to ripen,. Watch our children grow,. Sit with our grief. Silence is our gift,. We welcome it,. Call upon it,. And it calls us. Listen, watch, wait,. A deep peace,.

Questions About My Transition | Gwen Benaway

2 Spirited Poet and Frequent Reader. Ceremonies for the Dead. Questions About My Transition. May 14, 2016. The question which runs through my mind everyday of this transition is not one which I expected. I expected to ask myself am I crazy for doing this? And what will happen to me? I have these thoughts as well, but not as much as I anticipated. No, the main question I find myself asking is when do we love ourselves? Do we love ourselves when we’re done transitioning? When we’re finally skinny? PS When ...

Transition 9.0: On (not) being pretty | Gwen Benaway

https://gwenbenaway.wordpress.com/2016/12/16/transition-9-0-on-not-being-pretty/comment-page-1

2 Spirited Poet and Frequent Reader. Ceremonies for the Dead. Transition 9.0: On (not) being pretty. December 16, 2016. I don’t know what the likes on Instagram mean. Social justice support? A response to my humour? A casual interaction of seconds? We often demonize men who desire trans women in the Western world as deviant. As a trans girl, it’s such a gift to be desired for what you are. A complicated gift, caught between violence and danger but also hope and softness. Am I only valued when he is dead ...
