A personal essay about transition, isolation, and trans rage. And about getting distracted while jerking off and doing an hours-long  deep dive on Baudrillard. From 2025.

Disclosure: I've been much healthier since I stopped using this site, and all social media, and reading news. I have started physically transitioning, after recovering from a total mental breakdown on the streets of Spain while homeless. I don't talk to those I haven't met irl. Please do the same.

The problem is that when you are no longer seeking anyone's validation, coming up with alternative reasons for giving a fuck to motivate yourself takes so much more WORK.

"The gender of the day is fat. As in you'd never confess to fucking it" - R.W. Jane, UNDERBELLY @rwjane.bsky.social engenderedlitmag.com/summer2025
Underbelly
R.W. Jane

The gender of the day is fat.
As in you'd never confess to fucking it,
yesterday's coffee rings like tree trunk tells:
cravings to be an object.

As in lipsticks, red, femme enough to be rejected
and crying at the nail salon.

As in belly, moon-round, and constellations too, 
bedhead and beardful of stars 
and dreams of an Atlas-muscled back to carry the weight of being visible.


*Inspired by Dr. Caleb Luna’s
“The Gender Non-Conformity of My Fatness.”

The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Students say they have frequently identified undercover investigators and confronted them. In two bizarre interactions captured by one student on video, a man who had been trailing the student faked disabilities, and noisily – and falsely – accused a student of attempting to rob him.

The undercover investigators appear to work for Detroit-based City Shield, a private security group, and some of their evidence was used by Michigan prosecutors to charge and jail students, according to a Guardian review of police records, university spending records and video collected in legal discovery. Most charges were later dropped. Public spending records from the U-M board of regents, the school’s governing body, show the university paid at least $800,000 between June 2023 and September 2024 to City Shield’s parent company, Ameri-Shield.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

A woman asks a clerk "do you have cards for things you said during a mental breakdown?" The clerk gestures toward the card rack and says "right this way, ma'am!" She holds up a flowery card with mixed cursive and block lettering font that says "Sorry for calling you "Pathetic" during my episode." She marvels "wow, there are so many of these. And in such variety!" The clerk says "people are not doing well."

Lignum
a dissected nervous system speaks

Nick Newman

mommy? am I
yet?

tigers roar. neck-itch, scalp itch, body wants to be felt, was more than a shell. our nerves spread through body like shoots, twist round flesh, curl through tendons, filaments in meat they undulate to our tippy fingers, our stretchy thrumming parasite, snaking out from that stone we call brain. turn us upside down, take bone and flesh away, pluck out scraps and leave to grow. moving gently, waving red fibrous trees. plant us too close and we join hands. that first connection - what a storm! no longer only your voice. filaments slide parallel. parasites freed from cage, para sitos from the greek, beside food: we’re hungry now. one more joining, that’s fine, but it planted you all together, see, sudden snick of dendron on thigh, connection, this one feels - afraid, snick another, anger, hunger, snick - so long spent reaching for new mind, new food, new tree as you are consumed you hunger -

mommy? mommy?
when are we getting
home?

'gender ideology is not ruining poetry' by Siobhan Dunlop (@fiendfull.bsky.social) was the perfect poem to open this issue. come read the rest engenderedlitmag.com/summer2025
gender ideology is ruining poetry
Siobhan Dunlop

I’m so sorry for you
I heard your gender ‘s nothing to talk about
so boring not exploring
just sat static with your gender
looking across the dining table
nothing left to say
the neighbours are gossiping
about how normal self-reflection is
pronouns in bio just a useful fact
your obsession is not progression
I have so much more to say
playing outside of the binary
gender ideology is not ruining poetry

the poem is presented in two side by side columns so it can be read in its entirety or in the following parts:


I’m so sorry
I heard your gender
so boring
just sat static
looking across
nothing left
the neighbours
about how normal
pronouns in bio
your obsession
I have so much
playing outside
gender ideology

and

for you
's nothing to talk about
not exploring
with your gender
the dining table
to say
are gossiping
self-reflection is
just a useful fact
is not progression
more to say
of the binary
is not ruining poetry

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

It’s so weird. I really think it’s an issue with adults completely misunderstanding childhood & thinking it’s simplistic, ergo anything made for children is cute, so lacks richness & depth. Obviously Ghibli is more than Miyazaki, but because his work often focuses on childhood, it’s misunderstood.
