A Journey through Sexuality and Gender
i was taught as a child
Straight was the only way
It was never acceptable
For anyone to decide that they were gay
men who liked men
lived their lives in sin
A disgusting abomination
As time went on
I left my dogma behind
i opened my eyes
expanded my mind
Why should I care if a guy wants a guy?
Once or twice, one even caught my eye
It wasn't wrong
But it still wasn't good
They were often cast out
And always misunderstood
I thought that I believed that it really was alright
But I realized even I was still...

Moving On
last friday i attended a review with the gender clinic, and the primary points were with regards unfinished changes, which i'd sidelined, due to my heart ops, with regards voice training, and epilation, as i was focused on the actual reassignment surgery, which was successfully completed in May 2019.
she still remembered, as being wonderfully colourful. i said that i was now much more comfortable with my voice as it is, and that yes that i was still occasionally misgendered, but that was usually on the phone (even today) which makes me wince, but it is what it is, and on the phone, it is...

national nerf service
enough of the mistakes
committed on keyboards
without any reprimands
enough of the lack

pockets just to keep
this health service
ticking & going,
enough of ruining
other peoples lives
whether they are

enough of attempting

i have to ask
how do you

the fear
the weather
is turning
and my debt
to sleep
lays in
large piles,
the 3rd is
only around
the corner
and
i'm lucky
to have made
it this far,
to sit
here
writing
all these
broken
parts
in a.m
hours
with a
bayonet
tongue
made of
flowers
and
resilience
like
barbed
wire,
to live
through
hell
leaving
with scars
to go
with it,
doing
the time
some gods
never...

traveler'd regret
Traveler's regrets
He had been a sailor all his life, a traveler trying to find
the boy he left behind in the haste of becoming an adult.
An autumnal leaf falls into a stream, follows its course
but sometimes, there is a tiny inlet where the leaf gets stuck with other debris before getting loose again and drifting where the stream meets, a river that ends in the sea, becomes a mud bank full of nutrient-attracting
red snappers.
Often, he senses the pain the world suffers at the pain of
the futility of life, to stop for a moment contemplating

Heart, Body, And Soul
kind of thinking, and reminiscing about the various psychologists, and psychiatrists i had to see during my transition. i told one, that i didn't feel as though i had any 'dysphoria', and that i know my label is a transwoman, but i said "that i feel as though i'm simply a woman, built with one digit to many!" a kind of unwanted +1!!!!😏 she wrote in her report, that she had no reservations in referring me, and that i was very colourful, with a good sense of humour! four plus years later, it's the best thing ive done, as i'm now finding myself, and being me. my brain is still...

The Straight People Express
We’re boarding an exclusive automobile.
This transport doesn’t carry LGBT people.
If homosexuals are waiting on the road,
We’ll pass them and we won’t look back.
If we see any lesbians hitchhiking,
We won’t stop and give them a lift.
If stranded bisexuals flag down the vehicle,
We’ll just pretend not to see them.
If transgender people ask for a ride,
We won’t let them travel with us.
But if we meet heterosexuals along the wayside,
We’ll stop and say, “Welcome aboard.”

A Free Ride
The author has something to say about LGBT people especially homosexuals and lesbians.
What exactly are they contributing to the current development of humankind?
How will they help the world to survive with sodomy and sapphic practices?
The future generation cannot come from anal sex and same-sex marriage.
LGBT people would become extinct if they were living in a place by themselves.
Some bisexuals have biological children; we cannot say the same for transgender people.
Gays do not produce offspring, but they want to adopt the children of heterosexuals. ...

Identity
every time i'm misgendered
a little part of me dies inside
rarely said with any intent
being truly me
is sadly not the me
that others hear, or see
it's nobodies fault
last night, as i tried to sleep,
my eyes remained dry, i did not weep
but i knew deep inside
my loneliness i try to hide
but i still put on a happy face
as i rejoin the human race
and maybe, one day
will love me for being the woman i am
time for sleep 🦋

Unlucky Thirteen
the tea was fine,
whilst supping in the sunshine,
the calm before the storm,
when i lost all form,
and hoped today,
doesn't become the norm
where in the middle of town
shouted at me "there's a man in a dress!"
my heart sank
below a frown

Definition of Feminism
The definition of feminism’s fucking simple
You treat me as I treat you, you don’t get no special treatment
I get the fear that bestowed upon you, girl, I’ve been there
But if you mention Jupiter again, that’s double standards
Is this the thanks we get for standing up for civil rights?
You wouldn’t know a predator if it spat in your eyes
What’s been stopping men from entering the wrong bathroom?
Ma’am and Mister, can’t we all just shit in peace please?
The girl is not a dog, quit telling her to come your way
“I take what I want...
You treat me as I treat you, you don’t get no special treatment
I get the fear that bestowed upon you, girl, I’ve been there
But if you mention Jupiter again, that’s double standards
Is this the thanks we get for standing up for civil rights?
You wouldn’t know a predator if it spat in your eyes
What’s been stopping men from entering the wrong bathroom?
Ma’am and Mister, can’t we all just shit in peace please?
The girl is not a dog, quit telling her to come your way
“I take what I want...

NO WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE
Hi I just want to clear
something up for you people.
And I know it's might hurt some feelings
But I don't care people these days
Are so ultra sensitive that
everything offensive them
They can't even handle the truth
That's how sensitive they are.
So,
I'm not a birthing person
I'm not a menstruating person
I'm not a chest feeder, I'm not a costume
I'm not a character
And I surely can't be duplicated in 365 days
Makeup doesn't define me
And neither does my clothes
And for the love of all things good ...
something up for you people.
And I know it's might hurt some feelings
But I don't care people these days
Are so ultra sensitive that
everything offensive them
They can't even handle the truth
That's how sensitive they are.
So,
I'm not a birthing person
I'm not a menstruating person
I'm not a chest feeder, I'm not a costume
I'm not a character
And I surely can't be duplicated in 365 days
Makeup doesn't define me
And neither does my clothes
And for the love of all things good ...
