RottenTangerinehide bio
 Author has written 47 stories for Politics, Life, Love, Friendship, Humor, Religion, and General. Hey. This is basically just an account for stuff I don't feel comfortable posting elsewhere, or stuff I feel like doesn't fit in with my more "typical" writing. Some of it may be a bit over-the-top, but getting it out helps, and I hope it's at least somewhat relatable to even one other person out there. |

dysphoria by ThatStormLeaf reviews
I wrote a poem about the gender dysphoria I've been experiencing. TW for, obviously, dysphoria and one swear word, but I won't change the rating because of that. Haven't written any poems in a while, but with this it's really more the meaning than the words if that makes sense.

Coffee Commentary reviews
Libby Rall will change the world one coffee shop at a time. Because the fact that she can't get her order exactly the way she wants it clearly proves that the whole thing was corrupt from the start, just like real-life governments and elections are.

Stay In the Box reviews
A poem on how it's offensive, hypocritical, and just plain nonsense to call out certain people being problematic while expecting minorities to do the things you called out the majority on. Because real minorities must all behave the same way majorities aren't allowed to say they are, right?

Color Theory
Orange isn't accepted by Yellow or Red. She's not yellow enough or red enough for either side. Fortunately, she finds a place with Purple and Green, but even that isn't perfect. Can be read as a metaphor for being bi, mixed race, or enby.

Hypocritical Language
A poem on how people shouldn't be surprised that the others they tear down use the same kinds of words about themselves that they use all the time. Or the double standard in tearing people down and then complaining about their low self-esteem.

An unemployed woman looks for a job and gets blamed for being lazy for things beyond her control. Partly mocking people who act like all unemployed people aren't trying, and partly meant to be sympathetic towards ones who are trying.
