I completed an interview of Calpernia Addams on feastoffools.net Podcast, on the tenth anniversary of the Vagina Monologues. Calpernia did one of the trans versions of the show. That is when I had this brilliant idea to write my own monologue about my vagina in celebration for the ten years.
As I lay on that table, looking down at my body, I see these lines drawn where they are going to inject the magical stuff; the stuff that will jump start me in the journey of becoming a woman. They will be giving me what I always dreamed of since I was a little boy, the anatomy of a woman that I could never have. As I lay there I think to myself about my childhood. I think of all the bad things people used to call me; fag, queer, freak, cock sucker, homo, and on and on. Those words would haunt me at night; I was too young to hear that. What was that, I’d ask myself? That was hate from another human being because they could not understand me. Why was I so young and so hated? How could I be that boy that felt so alone inside? Where was God, when I was in pain – I was too young to feel that.
