My sister's cat was forced to move in with my parents and me Monday night. He went straight to the dark bedroom closet in the basement, the farthest he could possibly run after seeing three strangers. Ok, normal. But not normal is he's still in that closet. Probably scared shitless. Poor guy.

Anybody got a kitty tranquilizer? Or some sage advice. I'll take either.

Today's poem:
Saying It
- One of mine, from way back
You can say it with flowers,
say it with music.
You can dance it,
mime it,
swing it from a chandelier with a feather duster up your arse, whistling ‘Dixie’.
You can pout it,
spit it
and whisper it.
You can deliver it with a look,
suggest it as a possibility
but you can’t, plainly,
say it.
January, 1992

Merry Christmas to all the #trans people who may be #struggling this #holiday #season, whether that be due to being #closeted, surrounded by #transphobic #family, expected to present in a certain #gender, or dealing with #offensive #conversations. If you don't celebrate #Christmas, have a safe and peaceful day. To those who are being forced to celebrate despite these challenges, I'm sorry and sending lots of love. Remember that you are valid, true, and deserving of respect.

I'm coming to this realization that I may have to break up with my girlfriend of 10 years even though I deeply, deeply love her, because otherwise I won't ever be able to fully explore who I am gender wise. This is so unfair to us both I really don't want to have to do this 😔

@forestine I liken #masking to being a #closeted #lgbtq person. It’s exhausting! What I’m trying to do now is share more and basically out myself. I’m used to this in other contexts, so it’s just a matter of finding ways to drop hints about my #autism and ways I process and communicate. I’m used to doing this with managers since it’s come up in performance reviews. But I’m working on broadening this now to others. This is also exhausting, but positive! 🤣 @actuallyautistic

Happily, this has also given me a cognitive tool to clip off any further perseveration I might engage re: “was that really a mutual friendship? Or was I a fashionable and oblivious #Token?” - one of those dark clouds that seems it could be unique to us previously- #closeted folk.
Those people left. Often none too kindly. I *don’t* feel guilty that I didn’t meet their expectations.
In fact, quietly wishing them ill is a perfectly reasonable response.

Had to set up a separate account on hachyderm.io for IRL peeps so I don't out myself lol
Just #closeted things
As a bi/pan identifying cis man who is in a relationship with a cis woman, it is quite common for people to assume I'm straight. I don't always correct them because I feel my orientation is a bit personal and not always appropriate to bring up. At the same time I don't want to be #closeted anymore. How do others handle this? I am starting to realize that #comingout is not a one-time thing for me, but more a continual process.
Coming out as nonbinary does not make your gender more legitimate.
It only makes you more open.
Your gender is real to you, and that's what matters.
#comingout #closeted #nonbinaypride #NonBinaryPositivity
Don’t let people judge you by how “out” you are as a nonbinary person.
It is not necessarily better to be out or in the closet. It’s not necessarily better to be open about being nonbinary, or to keep it to yourself.
The only right way to do these things is the way that you find is best for you.

Coming out is not necessarily the only conclusion of questioning your gender.
There are many things we do simply for our own betterment.
Questioning your gender is among them, even if no one ever knows it.

The years you spent as a closeted nonbinary person were not wasted.
Those years, no matter how painful, are part of the powerful and strong person you are today.
If nothing else, that time taught you how precious, fragile, and necessary being out is.
Use that knowledge to cherish the time you are out, and to be kind to those still in hiding.
