the AI summary of this is literally idiotic.
unhuman/inhuman,
AI will never ever "get it" when it's involving metaphor and representation

Hi Laura! Hey I am soo happy to be here rn...
SOMEone at Spoutible heard something. The letter designations have removed an obstacle for me and I am quite grateful. I know it wasn't "just for me" but wanted to specifically thank someone for this.

I just couldn't do it anymore.
All I wanted was a place to share my poetry.
But I prolly won't and again it's a me problem. I get called names so much already I don't need an ap rating me less than

Like, not rhetorically...what would it hurt if I could tick a box and hide that?
I'd prolly use Spoutible waay way more. You can see from my history I was really excited abt it. But when I went from 0% to getting raised up, complained and got RAISED UP even higher, it felt punitive.

thank you, I really appreciate your taking the trouble to read it.
What I really want is flexibility on the user end, INSIDE my profile where only I see it, to hide that infernal thing.
As a transwoman, no matter what is said about it, it is still othering to me, sadly (me problem)

I've talked abt that already in my tl and am not repeating it here to save time. if you want to know, it's there.
I just want to be able to hide that shit on MY end to not have to be othered every single time I try to use Spoutible.
Frankly, I stopped becus of it.

You misunderstood.
I want to hide it from ME in my view. This would not hide it from you.
You could still see that Spoutible labels me only 17%normal.
I just don't want to look at it. I already otherize and judge myself enough as it is.

And...a very minor nudge...placing transfolx under the umbrella of sexual minority is a tad misleading. Gender identity is distinct from sexual identity.

It’s time for bed
and I lay down
and still you don’t break
but instead you take
your silence-cuffs
and chain me
the nightlight goes out
so you turn on the light
overhead and it bears down
bright
relentless
and sterile
just
like
your
silence.

by orange fading soft
into white then returning
to orange, and orange
and then just more orange
so i sit here, i wait,
i remember another time,
other days full of
sweet music and rhyme
before it was orange,
with some white thrown in there
cus nothing rhymes orange
it just hangs in the air.

while the efforts of many
seek orange everlasting
orange for my heart,
bits of white lay contrasting
and the nuance is gone,
disappeared in the mist
along with soft kisses,
it’s all been dismissed

I don’t think I will
ever be whole again
or fit for any service
the light thru the window merely
heightens that separation and
the scraggly fingers waiting
to claw my heart to ribbons
and lick the talons clean
in the moments between
sunrise and sunset
in the cruelty
of the ordinary

I who am
healed in words
am at last wounded
by words and endless
accusations and slander
and the opaque screens of untruth
I have been broken
I have been violated
I shall never
be clean again

my hair is a crown
that glows with the past

a bucket of love
a torch lit in faith

my face set like flint

lament as it faded
and pebbles and diamonds
all heaped up at random
and sticks and steel swords
all jumbled together
useless in the corner
to argue, debate
about fighting or walking
together, together
to some better future…

The mist speaks of Avalon
Camelot too
but the House that is Gleaming
shines there more True.
It speaks of our Healing.
It speaks of our Hope.
A House that is Gleaming
shall cut every rope.

or is it white, or golden black
and glowing lustre carmel clean?
but you…still…
heavy with your ego looks
and thick with all your privilege books
and me? Just ghosting in your world
a banner on the wind unfurled
my body pressed hard on the edge

words idle cannot do their wrong
and I take up your judgment eyes
and try to ride the dashing waves
until I fly, leave earth and try
to nestle soft and comforted
between wings of the butterfly
pearls beautiful drop from my heart
