Submit, Bitch!

Ralph Pigskin – July 2025

I wrote this on the day of Lynne’s thesis submission for her Masters in Counselling Psychotherapy.

It is from her perspective, but my words.

The title of her thesis is “a heuristic Inquiry into becoming a kink-aware therapist working with transgender and gender diverse clients,” if you didn’t already know!

Him: Are you ready for submission?
Me: No, bitch, I’m the Dom don’t forget your position!
Him: No, sorry, I meant your thesis deadline is here
Me: Ah yes, my professional coming out as cis queer.

Me: My magnum opus is done, I’m a transgressive poet
Him: Your performance through the year really does Show it!
Me: Who’d have known I’d be an unconditional possible girl?
Him: We all knew it darling! You are CIS with a curl

Me: You mean Curl as in kink?
Him: Yes of course, you gotta think Pink!
Me: I do think about pink! And also light blue.
Him: My darling you are gender affirming through and through!

Me: So I celebrate submission with my cunning linguistics
Him: It’s now time to say ta-ta to those day-and-night heuristics.
Me: So if you are still working with a two week extension
Me: I’ll say ‘laters’ cos I’m on my hols for some clit-tension suspension.
