Every day

I read, I listen,
I think

Every day
I read
Bernard Lane
Jamie Reed
Mia Hughes
Eyes Open
PITT
(and hundreds more)

Every day
I listen
Helen Joyce
Stella O'Malley
Colin Wright
Eliza Mondegreen
Jennifer Sey
(and hundreds more)

Every day
I celebrate
Cass, Skrmetti, HHS, COHERE
The WPATH Files, Sturm, UPenn
(and hundreds more)

While every day
I long
For my son
Who
Despite my reading
Despite my listening
Despite my celebrating

Despite me

Is not one step closer to me
Not one step out of the cult.

Quotee does all that every day, and it’s the offspring who’s in a cult?

Incidentally, poem ends with:

“And I am not one step closer
To working out how
To say a word, a sentence
To having him back.

Not one step closer.

Every day.”

I suppose the obvious answer would just be too much?

(BTW I didn’t submit this)

Every day I read
That which isn’t bigoted
And just to spite you

An Ode to a Confirmation Bias

“Who / Despite my reading / Despite my listening / Despite my celebrating /

Despite me”
THat’s the real issue, isn’t it? You.

Your daughter has an opinion she did not get from you.
And she holds it more important than she holds your limited view.
Really sticks in your craw that you raised an adult, not a Kewpie Doll.
So it must be a cult, not your ignorance.
It must be brainwashing, not you being a hard-headed cunt.
It must be predatory, not a rescue.
She’s a victim, but not as much as YOU are victimized by this.

And you carefully curate your reading to ensure you’re the victim here, and hang out where your pleas are heard.

If she’s in a cult, you’re fossilizing.

Isn't this a form of insanity? Doing the same thing every day and expecting someone else to change?

If you want an example of a cult, look at MAGA.

No, it’s a form of stubborn,holding your course and expecting someone else to change.
Which is how ships get sunk from avoidable collisions.

Unless you meant the poetry, and yes, that’s a form of madness.

13 usages of “ME” words.
Also, it show’s channels that TERFs really like (I think). Odd.

Your listening to the wrong people. Instead of listening to people who fuel your hate, listen to your daughter. You claim she is in a cult when all you do is dig deeper and deeper into your cult like behavior.

Seven uses of “I”, six uses of “my/me”.

You think about all these people, you read all these things that tell you who your child really is and what’s going on in their life.

Why do you never think about or listen to your child? Wouldn’t they know themselves better than strangers who have never met them?

Every day
I have to reinforce
My prejudices
In order to keep
Hurting my kid.
