FLINTA* Voices create space to speak without restriction, without dilution, and without apology. We opened our platform to FLINTA* writers and creators who confront and redefine gendered realities, who understand empowerment not as a trend, but as necessity, and who expose patriarchy not as abstraction, but as lived experience.

90’s

i had milk teeth,

soft freckles, pink cheeks

when a white-grey man pointed at my baby belly and said:

“no worries, it’ll disappear”

“she’s always hungry,” my mum replied

i was not even five

chocolate was my Goddess

dino cookies, her disciples

my birthday was worth it for the lemon pie

and Grandma’s visits for her sugar-cubes supply

“they’re brown”, she defended against my mum’s complaints

secretly, i would fill my pockets with fizzy fishes

dip dabs and flick & licks

in between meals i would

see — as my world was a Game Boy

sing — recording my voice through a Walkman

play — with the strength of Sailor Moon

dream — my Barbie’s tribe speak aloud

“nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”,

once i read

i had white fangs,

a flat chest, weak chin

— and a lot of hunger.
