Miranda's Mailbox - open letters from a trans woman #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #nonfiction #writer https://twp.ai/9OUiEF

"Willpower couldn’t make her go away. Prayer didn’t release me from her presence. Hypnosis failed to release her. She stayed in my soul and heart and patiently waited for me to bring her out of the dream."

Yesterday, I dropped a new single in my mixtape memoir. I talk about lullabies I sang to our kids when they were younger. www.thepoetmiranda.com/p/they-will-...

2/11/2026 - The sheet pan steak fajitas I made for dinner turned out pretty good. 😋

Me: On no! My syllables! Older child: Huh? Me: That poem I told you I’m working on… OC: Yeah? Me: It’s in iambic pentameter. OC: What?! Why?! Do you hate yourself right now?

2/8/2026 - Strolling across a frozen alpine lake is good for this woman’s soul. 🏔️

2/3/2026 - “Your hair…um…I like…uh…magic…uh…your hair is magical” That interaction made my day. 💜📚

Evangelicals won’t be moved by the files release. They’re the ones who are most vulgar and detailed when they threaten to SA me for being a trans woman.

1/31/2026 - New new spectacles. I got new glasses a couple months ago. One of the lenses kept popping out, so I cashed in on the 100 day guarantee and got these, which I like a lot more, instead. 🤓 What do you think? 💜📚

1/23/2026 - My wife and I had a lovely time at her company’s post-holiday party. Here’s the look. 💜📚

1/22/2026 - Christians, if you can’t see pictures of a (trans) mom cooking dinner for her family without s*xualizing her (especially in an abusive frame), that isn’t her sin, it’s yours. (I’m not sharing “Christian Mom of Two’s” reason I should lose my children, but you can see the implication.)

I’m getting used to men who arrive at a door at the same time as me insisting on opening it for me, but I’m still shocked when they speed up from 10 steps away to open a door for me. #transwoman #euphoria

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Just had a lovely coffee date with a friend who happens to be a cis woman. It got me thinking about the cis friends who ask me how to be an ally (subtext: activism). Activism is great (and needed to stave off our g-cide), but we also really need the friendships, the love, the normalcy, the hugs.

Christianity (following Christ’s teachings) cannot exist within Christendom.

If all it took was trans people existing to turn you into a Nazi, you were already a Nazi.

It’s also my birthday month. 🖤

Sure are a lot of Christians out there who operate like there’s a Bible verse that says, “And Jesus spoke to the multitude, saying, ‘Smear the queer.’”

ANNOUNCEMENT: MadyCast News is now the Trans News Network, a non-profit worker-run newsroom under our 501c(3) host, Community Partners. The need for trans journalism that is unapologetic, hard-hitting, radical and high quality is greater than ever. We need your help to do it.

Brand new poem (that took me 12 years to write) He said, we’re too old to play this pretend, // as though expectation is anything / but illusion waiting to be unmasked. www.thepoetmiranda.com/p/beginners-...

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

My 15 yo to me: Mum, all your friends are either nerds or trans nerds. (He’s not wrong)

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.

7/9/2025 - Late last night, I dropped a new single in my mixtape memoir series. It’s about playing with my sister’s dolls, being “caught,” and then retreating into shame, anger, and mimic of the boys around me. Please read, share, and subscribe. Love y’all! 💜thepoetmiranda📚

A fellow sister @www.thepoetmiranda.com does some of her poems live!!!! Truth and (to me ) bravery. A good listen many of us can relate too. youtu.be/v_yBh0rMgp8?...

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

MAGA thinks about my genitals more than i do.

It’s been around since 1983.

God damn the gestapo.

Every “it’s the overreach of the left that has led to the right’s embrace of fascism” op-ed is another retread of “the decadence of Weimar Germany (ie, the public presence of queer people) is why we got the Nazis,” which is and always has been victim blaming bullshit

A lot of politics that are desperately intellectualized by even liberal pundits and journalists basically boils down to "look at this freak"

Y'all wanna see me read six original poems live and socially awkward? Of course you do. www.thepoetmiranda.com/p/thepoetmir...

They're going to use this to punish gay people and people who don't conform to gender roles Transphobia is a tool for fascism to do more than just hurt trans people (which is a core part of fascism)

An update on my reporting from March: RAINN has taken a step further and banned resources for trans people and immigrants. Many had defended RAINN, saying they would still serve trans people. Clearly that was wrong. NYTimes did the recent reporting, but did not cite me.

My dear friend, @www.thepoetmiranda.com , wrote this. Give it a read. Share it. www.thepoetmiranda.com/p/first-they...

open.substack.com/pub/thedruid... #queer history lesson , since #scotus is getting us all kicked out of the military #trans / #lgbtqia+

I'm sure he thinks so.

Queer History Class 100: The Public Universal Friend thistleandmoss.com/p/queer-hist... Time for some #Queer history, everyone. The #NonBinary phenomena is as old as dirt. So here we go.

the government overseeing the biggest attack on LGBT+ rights in almost half a century is full of misogynists???

National Day of Prayer and the Death of G-d thistleandmoss.com/p/national-d... Is God really dead? In the eyes of #christians, yeah, I dunno. But my pal @www.thepoetmiranda.com knows.

riley with a damn good quick explainer. our whole pre-transition lives are a lite conversion therapy (at the very least; some folks get it worse) & it takes outrageous luck, fortitude, & will to not just survive it, but come out & stay out. 🧵

i’m a fan of this headline because it’s important to remember—as institutions are blackmailed over funding & illegitimate orgs like “american college of pediatricians” make headlines—that every legit US medical org with something to say about it said last year, “for trans kids, transition is good.”

open.substack.com/pub/thedruid... This one was hard and it’s painful to read , but it’s more of my life. #trans beginnings , we all started from somewhere. I’d tell you not to read it but my editor @www.thepoetmiranda.com would tell you otherwise #literature / #nonfiction / #biography
