You are not a sin. Now, that line rumbles through my spine, decaying old scripts that were woven into my being. I have held hands with the devil and fell in love with God's angels.

On my knees, I plead with someone I haven’t met Looking up to a deity that I can’t see but is claimed heaven’s best Before I allow myself to dip into your waters, know I have one request

I know the world is a terrifying place right now. No one really knows what to make of what's going on or how to handle it. I do hope that everyone is staying safe and is limiting their time outside and around people to help contain the virus and make sure it doesn't spread to the immunocompromised or the elderly. I hope everyone is doing their part to support and uplift everyone else, and that you're being kind to the essential workers, especially the ones working in retail.

Transgender people go through a lot in life. Not only do they have to deal with the normal problems and obstacles that everyone else faces (i.e. bills, high school, jobs, love lives), but they also have to put up with a lot of other difficulties and jump through a lot of hurdles that cisgender people have the luxury of not needing to do. So here's a list of things that most trans guys have to go through. And I am saying "trans guys" because half way through this list I realized I was talking from experience and most of these are tailored toward transgender guys. (Sorry, ladies!)

Just thinking about this song gives me goosebumps. Badflower became one of my favorite bands after hearing this song, just because of the rawness and absolute power that was put into this song. And after hearing this incredible piece of music, I had to listen to the rest of their album, OK, I'm Sick, and I fell in love with that.
Being transgender isn't a glamorous thing. I think a lot of people have a very long list of misconceptions about transgenderism and the LGBT community in general. Since LGBT culture has become a lot more mainstream as of late, some people have come to the very misinformed conclusion that queer identities are a passing trend. This has further advanced the stigmatizations from religious groups and people, and from right-leaning, Trump-loving people. It has also reduced queer visibility. The irony is that since queer culture is becoming more present in modern times, it's also made the actual community more invisible.
Eminem has been controversial for his entire career, but now he's making news by doing things that Republicans don't like. Which is, sort of, different? Revival has been pretty unpopular with Eminem fans, and most hip hop fans, too. And yes, it's definitely not his best album, at all. Like I'd say it's one of the worst. But nothing could beat Relapse, maybe, probably, I guess, we'll see.

Sometimes cisgender people find themselves in a relationship with a transgender person. Often times the cis person doesn't know how to act and fucks up. So, I've decided to save some trouble for both the cis and trans people by making a list of everything you should or shouldn't do while in a relationship with a trans person. You'll thank me. And of course, some of this can apply when you're just friends with a trans person or you need a lesson on how to be a decent person. A small disclaimer that not all trans people are or act the same, this is just a guideline to help people out.
