Trans
Not necessarily a transvestite from transylvanias tower
I’m transgendered and/or genderqueer - a femme of power
Trans
Transcending peoples fixation of gender as being something the state fixates
Transforming their views of the gender binary
Transferring it out to outer space
To a place where the sun don’t shine
Like Ur Anus
Or maybe Pluto
Trans
Transnational – cuz our struggle must always intersectionally transcend borders and nations
For solidarity and stopping deportations
Transgression – to a society where we choose our lives, our names, our paths and aren’t forced to follow a finished script.
Transcripts rewritten.
A concept with which I’m awfully smitten
Trans
Transphobia - sometimes I feel like not getting out of bed
Transphobia – deciding instead to stamp it out wherever it rears it’s head.
Transphobia - Keeping our mouths shut is something we won’t
Cis – a dubious priviledge I sometimes have sometimes don’t
Transluscent they should be able to see right through me
That when I look like a typical boy it’s just pretend
Cis-normativity, something I can’t apprehend
Using the wrong pronoun time and again
Tired of reminding you time and again
They, not he, is that really so hard to understand?
Done with being placed in the wrong band
Trans
As in sending transphobics on the transsiberian railroad to some empty piece of land
Trans
As in choosing which instrument we want to play, even if it’s not the same every day
Trans
As in crossing borders
As in new roads that can lead to chosen homes
As in feeling the revolution deep inside our bones
Goodbye gender-binary and heteronormativity and other concepts so absurd
Trans – not just a word
But as in taking flight like a bird at transonic speeds on a mission to transform the world
