Young Love with John and Raphael in I am a Rose
Raphael's Point of View I’m not really into sports, but I found myself reading an article about trans athletes, I never heard the term. I did some research and found out that that’s what I am. I’m not a girl I’m a boy. I always knew that I was, but I never told anyone not even my therapist. At a loss as to how to continue, my poetry journal wasn't within reach but I need to write something now so I grabbed a random to write on. Letting my subconscious take over as I scribbled out the poem

letter to the world
It was a long, humid morning in June; the soil was soaked with the last rain of May's showers, not meaning white showers but clear showers. Finally, it's the end of the school year, after what felt like years of being stuck in turmoil. The seniors have finally made it through the piles of homework, the ongoing projects, and the stuck-up teachers with their bipolar rules and wannabe "real" punishments.

The Trans Experience: Post-Pandemic
First things first, being trans is not part of a trend. There are misconceptions surrounding the surge of people coming out as transgender as though changing is done to be popular, which is the farthest thing from the truth. Individuals choosing to present their true identities to the world aren't done for a chance to be trendy.

Young Love with John and Raphael in You'll be in my Heart
Raphael's Poi nt of View ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn’t know how they found out, but someone did now the whole school knows that I’m trans and everyone hates me for it! I didn’t know what period it was I couldn't pay attention I just felt the judgmental stares of my classmates. I could have looked at the clock and figured it out from that, but I didn’t care I’d just skip the next class or the rest of the day or year it didn’t matter I need to get away. I went to my spot, it was under the staircase on a corner of the school, I couldn’t leave the building. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow students to leave the school without a parent. So, I went under the stairs. I curled up as small as I could, as I tried to keep my crying as quiet as possible.

Haircuts While Trans
The first time I went to a proper barbers, I was 17. One of my friends had to drag me through the door because my anxiety had overwhelmed me entirely. Once in, awkward small talk was made but for the first time in my life I had a proper, cis-approved haircut.

Ever since the start of the modern spinoff of The L Word, Generation Q has become the queer show we didn't know we needed. Just like its predecessor, the show is full of drama, love triangles, heavy issues, and inclusion. It also has featured quite a few characters from the original show, like Alice, Bette, Tina and Shane.

John and Raphael in I don't Care
Raphael and I were walking down a forest trail. Since Raphael doesn't like to be around people, a secluded trail was a perfect place for us to hang out. I looked at him and the way the sunlight hit his peaceful smiling face, was nothing short of amazing, I was completely in love with him, I have been for a while. I couldn't keep that to myself I had to tell him.
