Mad'm-ed from a stranger
I was in a dog park with a doggy I'm watching, presenting femme, and a man (who also had a dog in the park) referred to me as "mad'm". Really made my day.
A very-late-bloomer boomer becoming myself.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time
T.S. Eliot
We say 'mental health', but we mean 'mental illness'
