People Only Use “Biological” To Discriminate, Alas I Am Real
Seems to be
This sort of camp, unfortunately.
You either have to
Deny your body’s physiology
Or be transphobic
Because the only people using
Biological sex in conversation
Are bigots who are trying to take away my rights!
Which is incredibly frustrating
Because I exist
In reality, not in theory—
I am not a theoretical man, I am
Flesh and bone masculine, no one would ever
Confuse me for her, ever again.
My gender is not a theory
My sex is not a mystery
These things coexist
I don’t understand why I have to
Pretend as if biological sex doesn’t matter at all
In order to be a trans ally? And yet
Our rights are reversed in the name or
The biological sex, something
I am constantly reminded of
Each time I go to the doctor and
Each time I talk to my father
I’ve never been associated with
The biology associated, but for some reason
I have to ignore my reality
In order to
Fight for the right to be able to pee
