Last night I felt.

The kind of pain that makes you bargain with God.  

It used to be only once or twice per year… last night was already the second time this year and I’m not sure how many more to come.

It starts in the cervix and creeps to the rest of the uterus.  Then the pudendal nerve shoots a sharp pain all over the groin and across the front of my stomach.  The rest of the torso gets involved and tightens like a blood pressure cuff and I feel like I’m going to puke, shit myself and pass a child.

A 10.  An absolute 10 in terms of pain.  If someone handed me a needle of heroin I’d shoot it without a second thought.

All I can do is ask what I did to make it hurt this bad, I catalog every impure thought and action.  I inventory all of the people in my life.  I think about ways I could live better.  I tell God everything I will do to make it all better.

I go to the restroom and puke.  Loudly.  Violently.  I expect to look on the floor and find my entire uterus.  Sweat is pouring.  I’m completely hunched and my muscles are so contracted I couldn’t stand up straight if I tried.

These aren’t “cramps”.  I’ve had cramps.  I’ve had cramps so bad I couldn’t go to work/school occasionally and whatever this is, it’s not just cramps it’s something more and scary.

If you took the final 3 out of drag, Jinkx would win every time… she’s so chic and Roxxxy dresses like a 13 year old boy on the first day of school just saying.

Woman: I'm smart
Patriarchy: Well you're probably ugly then
Woman: I'm creative
Patriarchy: You mean unattractive right?
Woman: I have all these incredible accomplishments
Patriarchy: Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them
Woman: I have value
Patriarchy: Not if you're ugly lol
Woman: I'm conventionally-attractive & posted selfies on my blog
Patriarchy: I'm so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn't mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don't you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut
