Untitled Poem 3

You wanna know the worst part of being out as an FtM trans

The worst part is having people stare at you when you pass by in the hall

Or even hearing them whisper and shift their glances toward you

Is having them ask you how do you use the bathroom 

Sitting down or Standing up

It's being rejected by your male peers because you can't go into the boys bathroom

It's been called a name that doesn't fit you 

It's having to be told you can't write the name you want due to the system

But worst of all...

It's not having your mothers support even when she did research on it, looked for therapist for you and still won't even consider the idea that she might by some chance have a son....


Same person different gender


Nothing changed....
