About The Author
As a latina, transfemme, nonbinary individual, I always told myself I am hideous on the inside and out. The way people treated me never helped. Everything about me from interests, behavior, to ways I couldn’t sync up with others disgusted me. Eventually however, after a long period of time, I began to see that while I was a terrible monster, this is who I wanted to be. I wanted to have fangs and claws and gnash at all the world threw at me. Horns and spines are an evolutionary development to deter predators. I wish I had those when I was younger too. However since the past cannot be changed, I decided to be who I am now. A monster who embraces what they are with reckless abandon. A monster is what you make it. You are what you make yourself. For me, that monster is a beautiful thing now.
