to my daughter as yet unconcieved - i wish for you a world without pain a word where gender is only a word i wish for you never to hear "what does not kill us, makes us stronger"( and you think how strong do i have to be?) i wish for you a world that hears your voice a world that sings with your soul. i wish for you love, warmth, comfort, infallible contraception, faultless neurotransmitters, freedom from sexual violence, i wish for you to grow whole i wish for you i fight for you
