Requiem aeternam

Posted November 15, 2019November 19, 2020 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Death, Gender & Sexuality, Psychology, Religion

In a sig­ni­fic­ant sense, I died on the night of Novem­ber 19th, 2017.

Jealousy

You want what is not yours : jealousy /
You want what you can­not have : jealousy

Ace of Cups

Posted July 16, 2019July 16, 2019 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Death, Dreams, Gender & Sexuality, Psychology

When you have a hys­teric per­son­al­ity (dis­order), like I do, all the world is a stage. 

On Larissa Glasser’s F4

Posted February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Literature & Narrative, Poetry & Prose, Posts by Topic:, War, Violence & Terrorism

Larissa Glasser’s F4 is filthy, bizarre, ultra-viol­ent, and hyper-(trans-)sexual, and I’m sure it’s meant to be all those things.

Self-love #1: conquering ‘narcissism’

Posted December 12, 2018December 12, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Psychology

A requiem for a man that’s not in my life anymore.

The List

Posted November 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, War, Violence & Terrorism

There’s a list, and on the 20th of Novem­ber, that list gets read (aloud) by many trans people around the world, in remem­brance of their depar­ted sib­lings. #TDoR2018

The Pseudo-Hysterical Female Man

Posted November 18, 2018November 19, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Literature & Narrative, Poetry & Prose, Politics

The Female Man wants very badly to be a hys­ter­ical novel, but by design, and not spon­tan­eously, it flails about in its con­fu­sion, hurt­ing not just itself but the reader as well.

The Symbolic Order of Life and Manhood

Posted November 7, 2018November 18, 2018 Odile Aurora1 CommentPosted in Death, Ethics, Gender & Sexuality, Mythology, Politics, Psychology, Social Interaction & Networks, War, Violence & Terrorism

The circle of man­hood is at the cen­ter of the circle of life, which is bound by death.

Too Political

Posted August 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Ethics, Gender & Sexuality, Politics, Social Interaction & Networks

I was banned from my local trans organ­isa­tion for being too polit­ical. As you might expect, I have some thoughts on that.

Transformations

Posted August 19, 2017 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Miscellaneous, Psychology

On men­tal health, the dis­cov­ery of being trans, and reclaim­ing my writerly self.
