I Can’t Imagine Being Jealous Of Women/Some Parts Of Testosterone
But I can see why someone might romanticize it.
Lately— I’ve had to come to terms with the fact
That I do not understand gay men or gay culture
Whatsoever. I also, subsequently—
Don’t really understand the roots from which
Many, (not all!) but many— trans women come from.
I used to be a lesbian and now I’m a happy man and
I can’t help but see why some of the attributes
Might be seen as negatives
To people who don’t ask for them. For example—
Body hair. In all sorts of places
Oily skin, smelly everything
Greasy and balding and horny and
Aimlessly stimulating something just for the sake
Of doing something.
I get it, the muscles and stuff—
You might come to believe that
A six pack, big dick and a rude opinion
Is what makes a man a man
But honestly all I see and hear
Are sad self loathing asshats
Who are jealous of soft, sensitive women
Often to the point of violence and discrimination
So they do whatever they can
To express that, and to perform difference
Between the gays and the Becky’s and the Karen’s.
Oh sure— we’re all friends here
Until you hang around and pay attention—
Or god forbid anyone call one of these men
A woman!!!
Maybe gay men have body image issues
Because of the apps and the culture
Or maybe some of them have body image issues
Because they wish they were cunts and they know it.
If I ever wanted to feel small
In my life
I might’ve understood it before now
But it wasn’t until I got ringworm on my scalp
That I realized some parts of testosterone
Are disgusting as hell.
I guess if you were born
A tiny forest faerie
In a big tall man’s frame
You might never quite feel
Like you fit in.
