Abstract

Tranzgender Statement of Purpose Spencer Williams (bio) it's like we get it: the index of bruisesI've incurred as tranzcould constitute their own cartography. In any context where I'm seenI'm less woman than a wombinside a jar but we'll end there and start again: in this new space we call safeI'm fucking ur husband on the balconyand it's tits-free-to-the-air kind of romantic. Beyond us fir trees stand erect in the yard where ur bratty dog dry humps the white leg of a plastic chair until finally, the breeze mutters disgusting. So we agree there's nothing else to do but step back indoors. He wants to smoke first. Men always stall when on the edge of error. I say fine. I'll go piss and make the bed warm. I open the door behind us leading into your room and let myself in all the way inside.
