I think my autism may be part of the reason I’m an anarchist. So much of our lives today are just societal constructs and I don’t like or believe in them cause I genuinely don’t understand the need.

🏳️⚧️ Transgender men and non binary people who identify as masculine. This post is for you.
Let’s come together and ink 🖋️ our truths.
📣📣📣
Calling all trans masculine verse alchemists who navigate the spectrum of manhood, the nuances of identity, the weightlessness of freedom, and the power of self-discovery through verse. As a fellow traveler on this self-guided path, I'm envisioning a collaborative collection a ebook where we can lay down the raw, unfiltered poetry that emerges from our unique experiences.
⚧️⚧️⚧️
Let’s share the quiet moments of self-recognition to the bold declarations of identity, from the joys of affirmation to the battles fought and won. We can craft a tapestry of trans masculine lives in ink. A brand new collaboration and fresh project, not a part of my minority based project “voices for the Voiceless”. If your poetic voice resonates with the multifaceted reality of being a trans guy, and you're ready to forge something powerful and authentic together, connect with me at

Let's make this collection a testament to our strength and our stories. Non-binary people who identify as masculine also are welcome.
Much love 🖤
