Alright! So I’ve seen this with the Gingerbread Person but I decided to make my own, hence the Wooden Drawing Figure Expression Model. IDK how else to explain it and I’m tired of trying to defend my place within the Queer community so here it is:
- Sex (What’s between the legs): Born Female Jan. 8th 1988
Not too dysphroic (even though I have little self confidence and an extremely poor body image) but most days I hate my chest and I don’t feel the need to have ovaries.
- Gender (What’s in your brain): Genderqueer, Genderfluid, Genderfuck
Gender is a socially created construct that is policed and controlled. I don’t believe in the heteronormative binary that is held as the ideal standard of proper representations and unrealistic expectations.
- Orientation (What’s in your heart/who you love/attracted to/who you fuck): “Pansexual” but I prefer Queer
Why Queer? Because it encompasses my views on sexuality and feminism with activism. Love the person for the person and not weather the pieces fit “correctly” together.
- Expression (How you express/present your identity): Lately it’s been more feminine
My expression really has to do a lot with my mood. So yes one day I could want to be super girly and feminine and the next I might want to look more dapper. My personality is often seen as more masculine.
I’m still figuring out who I am and my spectrum or representation and expression can shift from one extreme to the other from one day to the next. And YES I am in a “Straight” relationship and YES I still consider myself Queer. My life, My body, My choice.
Any Questions? Didn’t think so.
Besos Bitches MUWA!
XOXO

How to tell a trans person they are beautiful.
Don’t do it right after I disclose to I am trans and you thought I was cis
Don’t do it with a condition that I shouldn’t change my body
Don’t expect me to believe you
Because I won’t
I can’t
There’s too many messages throughout the day that tell me
That my voice isn’t pretty
That girls with facial hair are ugly
That my junk disgusts them
Tell me I’m beautiful
and I’ll politely say thank you
Tell me I’m beautiful again
and I’ll say I know
But I still can’t feel it
It only goes skin deep
Tell me that I am beautiful,
I always have been and always will be
Say it so much that I can’t just brush it off
Say it with enough conviction
That the next time I see myself naked
That the words
You are beautiful are tattood across my flat chest
Catch me by surprise,
Tell me I’m beautiful when I’m not expecting you to
When I’m not trying to be anything but myself
Don’t tell me I’m beautiful because I’m passing as something I’m not
Tell me because I am exactly who I am
Whether I like it or not
Let me know that I am beautiful
no matter what

The ‘Pompeii’ of the Western Front: Archaeologists find the bodies of 21 tragic World War One German soldiers in perfectly preserved trenches where they were buried alive by an Allied shell
The bodies of 21 German soldiers entombed in a perfectly preserved World War One shelter have been discovered 94 years after they were killed.
The men were part of a larger group of 34 who were buried alive when a huge Allied shell exploded above the tunnel in 1918, causing it to cave in.
Thirteen bodies were recovered from the underground shelter, but the remaining men had to be left under a mountain of mud as it was too dangerous to retrieve them.
Nearly a century later, French archaeologists stumbled upon the mass grave on the former Western Front in eastern France during excavation work for a road building project.
