Tranny Comments

3) M.J., your poetry always stimulates my mind. And reminds me of all the positive reasons for my having chosen social work as a profession. Amongst the obvious, also, to put the hate mongers in their place!

2) First time that I had come across the word 'tranny' referring to a person. It was said with such hatred that it made me shiver...especially since, it was being used by some of the employees. Go figure...social workers using hate speech!

Reflecting on an university student placement job: A client, full of emotional pain, waiting at the doors before the office opened. The other workers were disgusted with him/her. The client was trying to get money for a transgender operation.

10 ++++++++++++++++++++ and onto my fav list

I cannot glide over your poetry- no it requires intensity and not skating away but instead joining up and getting aboard and thinking and feeling and sensing.and often seeing things a different way which can be unsettling or even disturbing or at the same time fulfilling

its all simple some people like a good stick shift, some people don't. A good transmission is the best transition. Its all about getting the car you want which may not be the one your born with. The sphere of what is acceptable speech has changed over the years, language is now a landmine where poor communication will inevitably blow up in your face. Some great observations M.J. the idea of stages of speech is interesting, we always live in interesting times.
