I AM (Not My Body)
I possess my gender
with my DNA
Please respect
the advantage
for me to claim
But if you see my body
you do not see me
Dysphoria is a body
mistaken for a soul
invisible vessel
neither male
nor female
no heritage but all
transracial identity
this is my culture
a family of Spirit
in a nation of souls
without ancestry
with my DNA
Please respect
the advantage
for me to claim
But if you see my body
you do not see me
Dysphoria is a body
mistaken for a soul
invisible vessel
neither male
nor female
no heritage but all
transracial identity
this is my culture
a family of Spirit
in a nation of souls
without ancestry
