<p>We struggled with the role that our bodies played, yes? For Michelle who was Sasha was short — as we are — and she was fat — as many of us remain — and she was so-called blessed with breasts to match. So-called by those who wished to in some way claim ownership of them. When she pursued a reduction, her back thanked her and those who bestowed such praise wondered why why why we would withhold that goodness from them.</p>
<p>And yet even that did not stop such attention, for we were, it seems, worth a certain set of things to others — to those beyond our friends and our superlative friend with whom we remain in love — and so why would they hunt for aught else?</p>
<p>We are skunks for a reason. We bear these aposematic stripes for a reason. We adopted them to say: stay away. I am no longer worthy of such.</p>
<p>We also bear these scars on our chest for a reason, a reclamation. We found new joy in this transgression on the gender we are told is worth X and Y and Z. We are more than short fat women, though we also find joy in that, for What Praise exists, yes? My cross-tree? Lovely, he is. And Hold My Name exists, yes? Tall and trans and woman the long way around and transgressive for it? And Deny All Beginnings exists, yes? Trans man that he is? There is queerness in us and that is the more that we love, that is the A and B and C that is not the X and Y and Z.</p>
<p>We are skunks for a reason and we bear these aposematic stripes to now say: stay away. I am as I am and I will not be anything else.</p>

<p>It worked some of the time.</p>
<p>But I digress.</p>
