Many have proclaimed that I am not man enough
That because I haven’t had the five different surgeries and hormone treatments
I’m a “Fake transgender”
 
Yet here I stand before you today
And proud to say that I am man enough
 
I am man enough to be confident
I am man enough to deal with all of your BS and still say nothing about your delicate masculinity
I am man enough to not judge you for your beliefs
I am man enough to not tell you that you shouldn’t exist
I am man enough to care about your wellbeing
I am man enough to not tell you you’ll never be a real boy
 
I am clearly too manly for someone like you.
