Challenges of Getting Married in the LGBTQ plus Community Working on the wedding related scenes in my memoir, Mistaken For A Man, A Story for Anyone Struggling to Feel Comfortable in Their Own Skin, Clothes and Community (coming in April 2024). I applied for a wedding license in 2004, when I knew it would be denied. (because I wasn't a man.) in Boulder, Colorado. I got very publicly engaged in 2013 when Doma (Defense of Marriage Act) fell (at that point it didn't matter if I was a man or a woman) but then broke it off.when it didn't feel right  I married in 2018, where I could easily have been mistaken for the groom in the clothes I wore in Victoria, British Columbia. In 2022, I went to a wedding where someone referred to me using They / Them pronouns (in a nice way). Amazing how far we have come that I could go to a wedding and someone would use gender neutral pronouns because they weren't sure what pronouns I would prefer (which is in fact, she / her). in New Jersey.

Are You Part of My Tribe? The Intelligence of Pattern Recognition, An excerpt from No Mistakes!: How You Can Change Adversity into Abundance by Madisyn Taylor, Sunny Dawn Johnston, HeatherAsh Amara, Kimberly Burnham, et al. In 2013, I wrote a personal essay for an anthology, No Mistakes!: How You Can Change Adversity into Abundance What do science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, actress Geena Davis, three-year-old Emmelyn Roettger, and even the animated character Lisa Simpson have in common? Membership in Mensa, which “fosters human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.” Many Mensa questions are based on pattern recognition and determining what does or doesn’t fit. For example: Which body part is the odd one out-cornea, macula, lens, eyes, or iris? Really smart people seem to be saying, “The more you can see the pattern and your place in the pattern-where you fit and how things fit together-the more intelligent you are.” Misdiagnosis or Misperception So how important is literal eyesight and figurative vision in your ability to be successful? Little Emmelyn Roettger’s parents were told she might be autistic. It turned out she just needed glasses, and once they solved that problem she soon became the youngest US member of Mensa. And, by the way, the answer to the question above is: the eyes. The rest are all parts of the whole. Just noticing the pattern, the way in which we are similar and are connected, can bring healing, strengthen the function of your brain, and help you to be more adaptable and intelligent. What do you see when you look at the people around you? It is well into the twenty-first century, and there are still people who want me dead because I have the audacity to love a woman. For some people, that love is a serious lapse in judgment-a mistake that I should regret. But I do not repent the broken path that led me gaily forward to her.

(Coming April 2024)  Summer 2013 when Kimberly Burnham was riding her bicycle across the U.S. and met up with fellow No Mistakes Author Gloria Piantek
Originally published on June 29, 2012. https://imfromdriftwood.com/story/im-from-provo-ut/ Summer vacation at seven years old, the best part of the day is as much ice cream as I want and a can of grandpa’s Fresca, which he always had in the fridge because he was a diabetic. With saccharin instead of sugar, the Fresca is “healthy” for my recuperating body, now missing a set of tonsils, removed the day before. I am resting comfortably on the yellow and brown plaid couch. My parents, younger sister and baby brother are outside having a picnic in Provo’s dry summer heat. They are eating corn on the cob, thickly sliced red beefsteak tomatoes on soft spongy hamburger buns and homemade pickle relish. I am staring at the red brick fireplace in a place that has always felt like home to me. Once when I was ten and could swim really well, I woke in this house. Then in the coolness of the early, early morning, my dad explained photosynthesis so he could stay awake as we drove through Southern Utah, past Blanding, where he was born, meeting my cousins in the red rocks of Lake Powell. I was finally old enough to see the lake because you had to be able to swim to go on trips on my great uncle’s boat. In those moments, my dad never imagined years later writing a letter, a response to his oldest coming out. “I don’t understand or condone, but you are my daughter whose happiness I value. I love you.” I lived, here in my grandparent’s house with my mother, when I was born. That day, my father got a telegram through the U.S. Naval Messaging Services. He was sitting quietly in his compartment lacing his shoes, when a voice shouted down the topside hatch, “Your telegram is here!” The message had arrived a few hours before, but since it was not his ship’s turn for the radio guard, no one woke him as soon as it arrived, as he had instructed every single one of the watch standers to do. Incoming Message: “Provo, Utah 7:10A Girl Weight 7 Lbs doing fine born July 21st 9:30 PM. Congrats, Ace.” He sends back a message carried by Western Union Telegram, his response to his first child, “I am filled with pride and happiness. God keep both of you until I get home. All my love. At Comfleacts Yokosuka, Japan. Twenty-one years later, I am back at my grandparents’ place getting ready to go a few blocks away to the Missionary Training Center, where I spend two months learning Japanese. Just before I put teenage crushes aside and served a year and a half mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) in the Tokyo North Mission, I am studying with the local women missionaries, where I live outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I want to be around them and admire them. I am like a puppy, hanging on their words and the scent of their perfume. I am electrified by an accidental touch, knowing I will soon be one of them, albeit far, far from home. One of those muggy Ohio nights, standing by my car, saying good night to her, a Mormon missionary after a day of pious preparatory study, I am struggling to see the way clear to “nothing wrong with hugging”. “Of course you can hug me,” she says. But there is too much desire. I do not have innocent thoughts. She does not understand, nor do I but it is the only righteous path I see. “I can’t hug you, because I want to.” A few months later in Japan, my red and white tennis shoes sit ready by the unlocked apartment door, side by side facing outward, where four of us live, in the humid Tokyo evening. Calmly, I stand up and move as if looking for a book to intensify my scripture study. I make my escape into the crowded night where I am not allowed without my companion. Alone, I run past the yakimo man hocking hot orange fleshed sweet potatoes, past the family in flip flops on their way to the public ofuro to bathe. Breathing in the steamy spicy air of soba noodles, I savor my brief autonomy. I run until all the stress has left my body. Releasing the anxiety of a bar set too high, I pass the red Shinto shrine and the still dark bell of Buddhist stone guardians. I run back to my life as a Mormon missionary, back into the predictable uproar of broken rules. A few years later, after I have returned to Provo, to BYU, to complete my degree, my cousin prods, “When are you getting married, already? Any prospects?” She confronts in the August heat of a family reunion. Nearly thirty years old, I say, “I am gay.” Speaking the words to my favorite cousin. My cousin, who when a stranger cuts her off in traffic excuses, “he probably just got the call, his wife is in the hospital having his first son.” She and I shared summers sorting cherries on her father’s farm and running free around Europe, where my family lived. There were cool desert nights in sleeping bags watching shooting stars and times together riding farm cows and Belgian street cars. A childhood full of memories, never imagining a future split open like a ripe red farm tomato by the revelation, “I am gay.” That day, the deep waters of Lake Powell cooling our shoulders. These waters safe for cliff jumping, water skiing and swimming. I have been with a woman for five years. My cousin wants to know, “Are you attracted to me? to my sisters?” “Ewww, stop.” “Do you wish you were a man?” I look at her, loving a woman is not the same as wanting to be a man. She wants to know, “Why are you gay?” She is a mother concerned for her children, for the way they will grow up in a world where, “I am gay.” Years pass, before I venture out, again in a letter to my parents. I used hate easy questions like, “Where are you from?”, “Okay, where were you born?” “Where did you go to school?”, “Where do your parents live?” Straightforward questions are unbearably tricky for me. The answers, the intersection point between my straight-laced Mormon past and my activist lesbian present. The funny thing is, while I was born in Provo, Utah and my parents moved into my grandparent’s newly renovated house after my father retired, I grew up overseas, so there are ways in which it doesn’t feel like home, except in my heart. After my mission, I returned to Provo, to Brigham Young University, so simple cocktail party questions once answered, usually lead to, “Are you Mormon?” I am, five generations back and yes, there were polygamists but then I kiss a woman, while still attending BYU, an LDS / Mormon university.
Kimberly Burnham, Author of the Upcoming Mistaken for a Man, a Story for Anyone Struggling to Feel Comfortable in Their Own Skin, Clothes, and Community
Mistaken for a Man, came out of a series of experiences, one in particular. The campground experience at the beginning of the book changed how I looked at encounters with people who assume that I am male. At first, as the experiences piled up, they became funny stories to tell at parties and a friend suggested that I write them down in November as part of a NanoWriMo challenge. As I wrote, I remembered more and more incidents, some traumatic, some funny, and some thought provoking. I also got in touch with my connection with my teenage trans stepson and how it feels for him to move through the world. The project began to encompass not only funny stories but also ways to look at the impact of our assumptions about identity on many levels. Most of us would not blurt out an assumption about a woman we suspect is pregnant, but we think nothing of saying “Thank you sir” or “How can I help you, sir” or blocking the door to a public restroom, when we don’t know for certain the gender of the person we are talking to. Ultimately, my goal with this memoir is to cause some people to laugh because in many ways these experiences are funny. Other people, I hope will feel not so alone in the world and know that we are human, we make mistakes, our brains love to take short cuts and make assumptions. A third group of people, I hope will read this memoir and change how they move through the world, allowing all of us to say who we are, be who we are and be comfortable in our community.
Mistaken For a Man: A Story for Anyone Struggling to Feel Comfortable in Their Own Skin, Clothes, and Community is a memoir by Kimberly Burnham (she/her) who identifies as a butch lesbian.
The stories span almost 50 years and countries around the world. Kim poignantly conveys her unique response to people mistaking her for a man in bathrooms, restaurants, stores, parties, synagogues, schools, and other places where gender is sometimes relevant, but often not. She occasionally lifts her shirt to correct a mistaken impression but generally struggles with the choice between ignoring people’s comments, hiding or gently or perhaps forcefully correcting people’s mistaken impressions. It is a book that looks forward to a post gender society where the configuration of the body underneath the clothing and how one self-identifies doesn’t influence what bathroom you can use, where you can eat or pray, and most importantly where you feel safe and who you love. The incidents are recounted in an engaging and thought-provoking way with genuine moments of vulnerability, insight, and wisdom.

Safety, Dreams and Peace of Mind (Originally published on SpokaneFavs)
How good we feel when we wake up is correlated with how well we sleep and the contents of our dreams. How well we sleep and dream is related to our peace of mind and level of anxiety. Recent research put it this way, “Waking mental well-being is assumed to be tightly linked to sleep and the affective content of dreams. Healthy participants completed a well-being questionnaire, followed by a three-week daily dream diary and ratings of dream affect [positive or negative]. Multilevel analyses showed that peace of mind was related to positive dream affect, whereas symptoms of anxiety were related to negative dream affect. We propose that whereas anxiety may reflect affect dysregulation [imbalance] in waking and dreaming, peace of mind reflects enhanced affect regulation in both states of consciousness. Finally, our study shows that peace of mind complements existing conceptualizations and measures of well-being.” (Sikka, P., H. Pesonen, et al. (2018). "Peace of mind and anxiety in the waking state are related to the affective content of dreams." Sci Rep 8(1): 12762. [Full Text] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-30721-1.pdf This idea of a correlation between sleep, well being and peace is reflected in several languages including Lango, a Southern Luo dialect spoken by the Lango people of Uganda and the Sudan. Here are some words for peace in Lango: "Kuc" (peace) "Kuch" (to be quiet, to be at peace), "Kweo" (to make cool, to pacify), "Ayom" (soft, peaceful), "Morembe Ayom" (greeting), and "Buti Ayom" (sleep softly, well). Sleep Peacefully In the Lango language of Uganda and Sudan “ayom” means soft and peaceful "buti ayom" is to sleep softly and well “morembe ayom" is a greeting a wish of peace for the morning of well being after sleeping softly Another Lango word "kuc" means peace "kuch" is to be quiet to be at peace both words correlating peace and quiet may we each experience “ayom” and “kuc” peace, sleep and well being In Bambara another language of Africa sleep and peace are correlated more directly in a common morning greeting. "Hèrè " and "Errébé" mean peace in this language of Mali. Sleep Peaceful Good Morning In Bambara, the language of Mali in West Africa the way you say good morning "Hèrè sira wa?" means did you sleep in peace often the answer is "hèrè dogon" or peace only Similar in the Dyula of West Africa did you sleep in peace? is "hèrè sirawa?" and peace only is "hèrè dron" Try this. Each morning for a few days, wake up and say to yourself out loud or to another person, "Good morning Peace!" in English or another language. In your mind and with your words, frame your day as one with peaceful relationships intertwines with inner peace. A common northern Somali greeting is “Ma nahad baa” or “is there peace.” In Somali spoken in Somalia, Djibouti, and Ethiopia, the word for peace is “Nabáda.” “Nabadda maanka” is peace of mind. Found Poetry The following poem is what is called a found poem, meaning the words were found in an essay or some other form of writing then teased out to create a poem. The order of the words can be changes in the process and sometimes the whole meaning of the essay can be different in the poem. Sometimes a found poem distills the words already written on a page, up to their essence. This is also what is known as a Persona poem or a poem written by a poet but from another person’s point of view. Trying literally to walk in another person’s words or trying to share another’s point of view while inhabiting their own body and experience. Mohamed Maine Seed The proud son of Somali immigrants traversed oceans and continents to escape brutal civil war seeking the American dream for themselves and their children enduring hardships discrimination, poverty and violence struggling to understand who I am where do I belong we were too Somali too Muslim Black Foreign the American Dream out of reach but incredible friends and mentors pushed me to think otherwise I have a place in this country with good people including diversity and the freedom to be who you are in a better place I hope one day to welcome the schoolgirl from Syria the young entrepreneur from Iraq the old poet from Somalia where we have a Somali proverb when we see injustice “Dhiiga kuma dhaqaaqo?” “Does your blood not move?” I am moved. Capturing a similar dream for all Africa, Nelson Mandela said, “I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.” May we all find peace as we sleep, dream, and in all our waking hours with the help of words from our own native tongue and the African languages of Lango, Bambara, and Somalia. Sleep Peaceful Good Morning In Bambara, the language of Mali in West Africa the way you say good morning "Hèrè sira wa?" means did you sleep in peace often the answer is "hèrè dogon" or peace only Similar in the Dyula of West Africa did you sleep in peace? is "hèrè sirawa?" and peace only is "hèrè dron" Exercise Each morning for a few days wake up and say to yourself or out loud or to another person, "Good morning Peace!" in English or another language.

Kaili Ledo Peace Desire
In Kaili Ledo spoken in Indonesia desire and concern or lack of feelings are juxtaposed with peace and calm "Naino rara" is to crave and desire greatly to be moved or touched by life or beautiful music to strongly want something a relationship a connection and "naino rara" also means to feel at home and peaceful as if when we reach our goals motivated by a strong desire we develop inner peace and a sense of relationship to place "Natinda rara" also means calm and at ease but unlike "naino rara" it has a dark side meaning doesn't care about or is unmoved hard-hearted and unconcerned and yet satisfied as if one can be unconcerned about the feelings of others and still find ease What it also says we don't often know the inner desires and motivations of another person perhaps is it out of fear or lack or worry that one seems not to care about fellow human beings while another achieves greatness and contributes to world peace

Visit Tokyo this summer. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Hiroshima Day commemorates 6 August 1945, the day when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, followed a few days later by another dropped on the city of Nagasaki. 
They catch on my tongue, roll around in my cheeks, cause my skin to turn green or orange as I desperately try to blend in with the answers to difficult questions. Common questions send me into hiding or delay in an effort to figure out how long I have for the answer, how much I should say, gauging the situations, the environment, the person asking the questions. Easy questions like, "Where are you from?", "Okay, where were you born?" ,
"Where did you go to school?", "Where do your parents live?" Straightforward questions are unbearable tricky for me. The answers, the intersection point between my straight laced Mormon past and my activist lesbian present. I was born in Provo, Utah, where my parents have returned to live. I graduated with a BSc. in Zoology from Brigham Young University (BYU), so simple cocktail party questions once answered, usually lead to, "Are you Mormon?" I am, five generations back and yes, there were polygamists but then Prop 8 destroyed what was left of my relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter--day Saints (Mormons), the part of the relationship that wasn't already difficult because I kiss a woman, while still at a Mormon university. So, sometimes it is embarrassing, in the circles I run in to admit to being a Mormon, especially with Mitt Romney, running for president of the United States. Simple questions, "Where did you go to school?" send me into a chameleon panic of does this person really want to know all the details or how can I answer truthfully without giving way too much information. It is the same way I feel when someone finds out I speak Japanese, which I learned as a Mormon missionary, although I later returned to Japan to teach English with my girlfriend. There are lots of intersections in my life, certainly between the religion of my childhood and my sexual orientation but lots of others as well. What I have learned from navigating these canyons, like the red rock of Southern Utah, is that the part of my life that I want to hide also connect me to amazing communities, if I can just keep the self hatred at bay. If I can be comfortable in my own unique skin and share myself openly and honestly, and unapologetically, there are ways in which I can connect with anyone, not because we are the same but because we are unique but have some over lapping edges.

I am looking for guest blog opportunities and a position as poet-in-residence. My current project is writing dictionary poems using words in different languages for the English word "peace." You can read some of my poems on Poemhunter . As poet-in-residence I would write poems on different words in different languages and broadcast them throughout the social media blogosphere. Each poem would link back to your site where the word or language appeared. I would expect some sort of stipend and a six month to one year placement. Please contact me for details if your organization is interested in having a poet-in-residence to help get your message out. [email protected]
