Hope Dance

And here I am waiting again, From waiting so much Hope has turned into a dance Time has turned into a cloak And the face only showing wrinkles But the will, it never tires!

No matter how far ahead, it doesn’t matter I am always behind and late How much delay can a life bear? How many more times will I be overtaken? When will I be the master instead of the pupil? When will I, at last, be the last in line?

I keep this anguish in my chest And await better days for a long time Along with certainty and its surroundings That I did everything that could be done

Would you still love me if I were a worm?

So, what would be the power of her stand?

When even artificial intelligence recognizes the relevance of your case and knows that you want to keep working.

#ParaTodosVerem The image is a screenshot of a conversation between Lumen and Microsoft’s Copilot artificial intelligence, starting with the question: “who is Major Lumen” and the AI’s response: “Major Lumen Müller Lohn is an officer of the Military Police of Santa Catarina and became known for being the first transgender officer in the corporation. Recently, the governor of Santa Catarina, Jorginho Mello, ordered the Military Police to evaluate her “moral and professional capacity” and the “coexistence of her stay in the ranks” of the military. This evaluation is being conducted by a Justification Board, composed of three officers, who will issue an opinion on her continued service in the corporation. Major Lumen Müller Lohn has expressed her determination to remain in the military police, even in the face of this evaluation. The case has generated attention and discussions on gender identity issues and rights in the military environment.

It is with sadness that I received on Tuesday the final opinion of the Justification Council, the dismissal process to which I am being subjected. They decided that I am guilty of not being promoted (yes, that’s right!) for not meeting the medical and clinical conditions for promotion, an allegation that was refuted several times and clearly throughout the process, which included an evaluation by the Corporation’s Medical Board. In practical terms, it is suggested that I be compulsorily retired.

After 26 years of service, this moment is the most painful I have ever faced. All this time, I did not know what I was being accused of and I still do not know. There is no explanation. The alleged reason has no legal basis and is not supported by the evidence. They do not want to point out the real reason. But we know what the motivation is. It just was not said at any time.

It should be a basic principle that everyone has equal opportunities and respect, regardless of their identity or sexual orientation. It is unacceptable that I am being punished simply for being a transgender person and for the discomfort that my presence may cause.

I have always reflected on the recent human rights violations and wondered how these atrocious situations came to occur. How many people involved had to give their approval for such atrocities to materialize? How many consciences remained silent and abandoned their humanity to support such inhuman acts? I never imagined I would be one of those people.

In this moment of sadness and indignation, I find comfort in those who came before me and those who are yet to come. And in the hope that justice will prevail. Even if delayed, I still believe in its realization.

This is not the end of this journey. The decision issued by the Justification Council is still subject to confirmation by the Governor and, subsequently, to review by a panel of the Court of Justice.

We will continue to fight. Despite the adversities, we are far from the end of this battle.

The year that never ended

Last year was supposed to be the year of discoveries Or at least that’s what it should have been Oppressions made things very uncertain And in the end, everything ended consumed by fear

Last year I transmuted from my cocoon But I didn’t free myself from my image No matter how much I try to pretend it’s null It’s impossible not to suffer from the mischief

The source of anger is always an injustice And in this case, it’s not even a matter of the mind Because every sentence has been false

Even with anger and this burgundy vision I only wish for my sanity to remain Because last year has not yet ended

The idea is to write two poems about 2023, one about the bad part, the other about the good part. As expected, the one about the bad part came out first. At least this odyssey turned into a sonnet. Something I hadn’t written in a while, even without metrics. The second one will come out without haste. And not so attached to form.

#paratodosverem the image contains a sad woman sitting, with ankle shackles and a lost look.

Art generated by Bing Creator using the following prompt: “A blonde sad woman with ankle shackles, impressionism, van gogh style”

Trans and Travesti Visibility Day I couldn’t help but post today, right? Because today was also the 2nd Trans March in Florianópolis, an event I am part of the organization.

We need to be seen to be remembered. And normalized. And accepted. And welcomed. And respected. Today we made a little progress. But we are still far from ideal. Nothing about us without us.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this wonderful event possible.

I like people. But not those who have ceased to be human. The ones who lie and don’t even feel. They act brave but run away when faced. So bad that no one can stand them. After being alive, they go to a very hot place where no prayer can comfort. I like people, but not these, unfortunately, no matter how hard I try.
