TrippleL Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I posted this elsewhere but thought I’d share it here too 🙂 There’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just the way I’m wired I don’t experience sexual attraction. I can love both men and women. I don’t relate to being a man or a woman. But there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like my hips, hands or body hair, but I wouldn’t want to change them. I don’t like football, male changing rooms or male restrooms. But there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like physical contact, except with someone I love. I don’t like repetitive physical contact, even if it’s slight. I don’t like repetitive noises, they make me want to cry. But there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like public events, public speaking or crowded trains. I don’t like loud noises, bright lights or negative emotions. But there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like the person you want me to be, that person is not me. I am; Happy In love Asexual Non-binary A synesthete A highly sensitive person A human being. There’s nothing wrong with me, this is who I am. TrippleL Link to post Share on other sites

TrippleL Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Anyone more musical than me want to have a go at turning this into a song? 🙂 I did not have a song in mind when I wrote it. It was more of an emotional outburst I had to record somehow! Happy for anyone musical to adjust the wording as necessary to make it work 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

It's been out for a long, long time. It really helped me. https://hsperson.com/ There seems to be a double whammy with being an HST that nature poured into a nominally male body. You just have SUCH a hard time finding any peace from the 'shuffling madness' in the song "Locomotive Breath." I heard it again from my manager on Friday, who is trying to talk me out of leaving when I become eligible to collect full SSA benefits. For the zillionith time, he told me I am too sensitive about being caught in the crossfire between him and other managers who hold sway over me and give me conflicting orders (even though they are not supposed to do that). They all haver ZERO idea how it saps one's will to keep trying to excel when they continually and selfishly move the bar to obtain their often-unreasonable goals. And if you get frantic and tear up? Game Over (for you). Link to post Share on other sites

Karst Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I've said it before and I'll say it again- diversity may be an overused word, but society wouldn't work half as well if we were all the same. Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you on being biologically male and an HSP; you get attacked from all sides ☹️ Link to post Share on other sites
Celyn: The Lutening Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Well now my brain is loudly singing "Locomotive Breath". I love that song. Link to post Share on other sites

I think for many of us, our brains are metaphor juke boxes, and we feed it with the coins of our search for some justice and some surcease for the pain, depression and exhaustiion of dealing with the dissonace and contradiction that comes with being trans.

TrippleL Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have limited musical skills but I’m slowly thinking of a tune that this would go to. I’ll post some basic chords/notes once I’ve worked them out, but if someone more musically gifted than me wants to have a go please do 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
TrippleL Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 I think this would work with a tune similar to Fine Again by Seether 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
naakka Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Very pretty and indeed would make a great song! I wrote on "should've known I'm ace when..." topic about my disappointment on music due to oversupply of love songs, and actually have been thinking ever since that there would really be a place for ace artists in the music world On 2/23/2019 at 9:21 PM, MaybeIBelongSomewhere said: Badass much respect it’s beautiful should be in the AVEN paper There's a paper like that :0 Link to post Share on other sites
