The Transsexual Chofetz Chaim

Mutant, librarian, poet, union rabble rouser, dog, Ashkenazi Jewish. Neuroweird, bodyweird, mostly sleepy.


I write about transformative justice, community, love, Judaism, Neurodivergence, mental health, Disability, geography, rivers, labor, and libraries; through poetry, opinionated essays, and short fiction.

  • Trust the process
  • If I would've been able to return to work today I would have been approved to return to work today. That's why I'm not returning to work until the day I have to go back to work.
  • I will keep healing more and more every week
  • Remember how different it was last week
  • Healing is non-linear
  • It's-sucks in through teeth-GOOD... OWWWW.... That it's SENsitive.... That means it's FUCKIN FUCK OW- Functional and will feel GOOOOOODDD AAAAAHHH.... when I'm healed
  • Nerves are weird
  • Every vulva is different
  • These are actually the same problems many cis women deal with and just don't talk about due to stigma.
  • Able to work does not mean done recovering
  • I am in it for the long haul
  • Dilate dilate dilate
