It’s Impossible to Deny Sex While Being Trans
I just don’t understand why transphobes insist
That the very people
Who go from one gender to another
Trapped by the reality of the sex
They were born as
Are somehow in denial of sex
It’s almost as ludicrous as the idea
Of a fat person somehow being in denial
Of the weight they carry around daily.
In order to be a transgender person
You have to acknowledge that you were not born
In a body you necessarily identify with—
Some people take steps to change their bodies
To match, at least closer than they did beforehand
What the fuck part of any of this
Involves denying sex
Besides the transphobic idea that
Gender identity doesn’t matter
