about

The transmission allows vehicles to move. It is also a communication - message shared. Not to mention a journey to challenge the gender binary. The mission for all of us is to inhabit a new world and abandon the old world.

We will need a sturdy transmission for this kind of navigation - tight wheelbase and ability to turn quickly. We’ll need traction, stability and the ability to accelerate. We will also need messages to help guide the pathway to the new existence - compassionate, generous, and inviting. But to be very clear this is a trans/mission.

The cat from outer space acknowledged that this was their favorite song: “Risk-taking, and living in the old world as if it was the new world are inspirational and joyous. It takes nothing more than denying the voices in your head.”

lyrics

Power to the wheels
Breath to the sky
You’ve never lived
If it’s time to die

Trans/mission
Gear engaged
Forward motion
Full of rage

Signal overpowered
Blows circuit out
Darkness and isolation
Total fear and doubt

Refusal to conform
Forgetting to lie
Expression of the self
In your mind’s eye
