The Ignant Intellectual…
has a vagina. has breasts. has estrogen. has non-ambiguous female genitalia. bleeds EVERY month like clockwork. HOWZENEVA s/he is a SPIRITUAL being having a HUMAN experience. Ergo, the automatic infusion of woman into his vagina. or girl onto her breasts. or female into his estrogen will lead you down a path that you won’t find The Ignant Intellectual on. We must be VERY VERY careful about the language we use surrounding sex, gender, gender identity, and gender expression. There are huge implications around word choice. S/he does not believe in sexing nor genderizing ANYONE based on genitalia or primary ‘sex characteristics’. you may try. go right ahead. it may work for you. that’s cool. but it doesn’t work for me. I AM NORMAL. The Ignant Intellectual was NOT born in the wrong body, but s/he was born in a jacked up world. a world that says vagina = female = certain expectations. that’s where you messed up. scratch the expectations and let your kid evolve into whomever they choose. they are not a girl because they have a vagina. they are simply a person with a vagina. #gitwithitorgetlost #ifyoudon’tunderstandaskDONOTassume

Dear People Who Feel that Trans Kids Should Not be Included in Same-Sex Groups (I.e. Boy/Girl Scouts),

If your fears include the automatic connecting of sex with sexuality(which is crazy), I have a suggestion for you. Move your fear away from big bad demon child Andrea who was born Andre’ (that you fear will get fresh with your lovely Rebecca) and transfer them to sweet and innocent Shelly who was born Shelly and with whom Rebecca will WILLINGLY get fresh with!

Sincerely,
Shelly all Grown Up (a/k/a The Ignant Intellectual)

Greetings & Salutations Good People,

Well here I am. Here it is. When I signed up for Facebook, I never would have thought that my page would be graced with so many amazing comments and I never would have fathomed that I would become so engrossed and wrapped up in such unique and necessary random ass conversation. NEVER. And I would have never considered launching a blog if it weren’t for my cool ass folk from that community randomly asking me from time to time shyt like ’have you ever considered blogging?’, ‘so when are you going to start sharing this shyt you say with the masses?’ I just really didn’t think about my thoughts as anything more than just that, Z’s thoughts. I’ve always processed shyt slightly left of center. Ok fine. Drastically left of center, but I would have never imagined others enjoying it. I would like to thank you amazing people for showing me something about myself that I never knew. That I am witty. That I am brilliant. And in the words of one of the most amazing professors that I’ve stumbled upon (Mustafa Emirbayer), that I have a ‘beautiful and brilliant mind’. If you know Mustafa, you know that compliment is big deal holyfield.

So, here I am. Doing. Being. Living. (as far away from boxes and labels as possible)

Thank you for believing in me.

Sincerely,

The Ignant Intellectual

Dear Folk,
If you see one of your friend’s photo albums from any type of celebratory event, & it reeks of fun, laughs, & mayhem, & you had no clue about said mayhem, I suggest u save face & not post shyt like ‘y was I not invited?’. It was most likely intentional. Especially when no one responds to ur question. Just bow out w/ur face s…till partially attached.
Sincerely,
The Ignant Intellectual

Dear World Govts,
Punishment 4 ‘crime’. Surely. But when r u gonna take some responsibility 4 the manifestation of the intersection of psych, soc, econ, & poly sci by citizens like Loughner? I am neither demonizing u nor victimizing him. But, u r fuckin over us & his reactions might be skewed. Thus he’s not completely ‘crazy’ & u aren’…t completely ’4 the people’. That is(not)all.
Sincerely,
The Ignant Intellectual
