this poem is about being nonbinary.

the issue with this poem is that nonbinary people are harmless whereas werewolves traditionally mangle and kill people. I don’t think the right analogy has been used here

First off, you are allowed to have an opinion about poetry, but I’m going to point out what you appear to have missed. Secondly, I am nonbinary and this is my poem. I wrote it to represent how it sometimes feels being nonbinary in a hostile environment. I don’t appreciate being told there’s an issue with how things resonate with me or the others who have shared this post. In future, I would recommend you be kinder in your phrasing.

The werewolf has not harmed anyone. The werewolf’s apparent only crime is living in the town. There is no evidence or past experience that any werewolves - or the men and wolves in the town - have ever actually hurt anyone. No mangling or killing, and no intention to do so. He just lives there, and apparently has for some time without issue. The townsperson who has approached the speaker refuses to admit this in as many words, but that is literally the text. If there was evidence of harm, it would have been provided when the speaker asked, “has he actually done anything wrong?”

I am a trans person living in the UK. The media and transphobes treat trans people of all kinds like they are predators ready to mutilate and defile children as though there is any evidence of it, when in fact there is absolutely none. And a significant portion of the public, who perhaps don’t consider themselves to be transphobic - or at least, would never admit it - believe what they are being told. That is the analogy.

The werewolf isn’t the issue here.

The fact that Kier Starmer has on track to get fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn is both infuriating and hilarious to me (in a laugh so I don’t cry kind of way).

That Starmer is being held up as the great, dynamic politician who “saved” Labour through centrist politics and catering to the right while Corbyn was derided as a kook who cost Labour elections for a generation really gets my goat.

Starmer just happened to be standing by as Reform and the Conservatives stab each other to death while Corbyn was dealing with a Reform Brexit party which didn’t run against Conservatives and the right and far-right were merged to one.

36% of the vote isn’t as impressive and doesn’t fit the “historic landslide” narrative.

But, that isn’t my country so.

I have no particular stance on whether estrogen would have saved Shinji, but I’m looking at it from the family dynamic angle, and… well, Jesus Christ. On a good day, Shinji already looks like a teenage soft butch version of Yui Ikari – can you imagine how Gendo would react to his “son” slowly morphing into his dead wife?

estrogen would not have saved shinji but it would have caused gendo immeasurable suffering which is perhaps more important
