- 27. #Poetry4MentalHealth Put yourself in the position of our bisexual factory worker. Your co-worker tells you he doesn’t agree with people being gay. How do you respond? Explore I feel like I would choose to be silent because it's not worth getting into with that person, right now, and at work probaly just shrink away in fear; avoid my truth Lost of words. Feelings of unworthiness same -- against my best intentions, would probably just try to retreat I'd feel angry and maybe resentful inside but feel like it's safer to say nothing I may feel exhausted, wondering if it's my job to educate this person or to just leave it i never even think of it as an education moment tbh just internalize I might ask what there is to agree with? I'm not in danger as a cis-male so a conversation may be more possible

- 35. #Poetry4MentalHealth STAGING FACE BY STEPH YOUNG, JAKE IVANY & VIE JONES Immerse Content heads up: discussion of depression, anxiety, transphobia, misgendering
- 36. #Poetry4MentalHealth HOW ARE YOU, REALLY? Got a little teary eyed and was also in awe of the lighting and cinematography and music not sure if this is how i feel but holy damn was that a beautiful film Happy they have a space, however small, to explore their identities A little sad, but hopeful. Empathetic. The parallel of being frustrated performing in life vs the freedom performing on stage was powerful Oh wow Resa thank you for sharing that. Stage vs everyday life Immerse
- 37. #Poetry4MentalHealth SCENARIO Think about the struggles of these three characters. Explore It’s taken a lot to reject traditional notions of gender and find recognition. People hold very tightly to these traditional ideas.
- 38. #Poetry4MentalHealth Explore Why do we, as a society, resist seeing people’s true selves? Social norms are deeply embedded, as you mentioned because were taught to oppress things we dont understand I think people have a natural knee-jerk reaction to avoiding having comfort zones challenged, or being uncomfortable period. We're defensive like that. :P I think as a society we resist people's true selves because.... accepting them means needing to face and accept their own personal doubts or struggles. And not everyone is ready or willing to do that. because some white straight men somewhere decided what "normal" is and the rest of the world listened lolllllll I think there is a desire to instantly categorize everyone a person meets. And when that can't be done, a person's ego is challenged YES! "Boxes don't really mean that much." We ascribe value to things, but it's a choice to do so and we can ascribe value to other things too "If I can fully accept myself, it's a lot easier to fully accept others"

- 42. #Poetry4MentalHealth #Poetry4MentalHealth FIND THE SCULPTURE “They See” Immerse
- 44. #Poetry4MentalHealth Express How do I lead people/to see?/To break their boxes and/draw new lines? To collapse old structures and/build them again? --- They see a man, a dude, a jawline, cheekbones They see a person with inherent value They see the privilege of a penis They see a person “trying too hard” They see but they only perceive They see, they assess, they judge, They determine, they measure, they quality assure, They see EVERYTHING -- but it’s nothing. they see what they want to see not what is or what can be they see a box a cage they see? whatever serves in a moment what would it be like? to step into what they see foreign. to me. remember some do see lean into it. like thoughts seeing is choosing That is Power. take advantage
- 45. #Poetry4MentalHealth What can we do, both as allies and as members of the community, to make positive change? Explore Try to see people for who they honestly are To constantly check myself and actively listen to understand making the conscious effort to choose acceptance Be intentional with language To use my positions of privilege to challenge people like me much more often. To use my platform to amplify marginalized voices.
- 47. #Poetry4MentalHealth #Poetry4MentalHealth FREELY & DELIBERATELY “What Can We Do?” Express
- 49. #Poetry4MentalHealth We can amplify their voices And I can help. We can break down stigmas And I can do more. We can make the world evolve its thinking And I can help shape this new narrative. We can listen And I can let them speak. --- I can be the platform perhaps it’s not always my voice But I have my back to help elevate them And they speak they say it gets better? a saying isn’t a truth. MAKE it better stuffed Queer cans of anger // self loathing // misery open it, let us escape And Rage. allow us to be our fiercest // truest // powerful selves THEY say? maybe they shouldn’t WE say? maybe we shouldn’t maybe all we can do is listen and bear the responsibility of lifting up All Our Selves
