Psychedelics
People are always looking
For some sort of Definitive method
For knowing you’re transgender —
Like, some sort of blood test
Or a DNA trait
Like whatever phenomena
Makes people gay—
People want
Proof.
I don’t like to advocate for things like
Drugs, especially since
So many trans folk
Have too much trouble
For one kind of substance to handle —
However
Every single time
I’ve taken psychedelics
I’ve been forced to the same conclusion—
I’m a man, I’m heterosexual,
And I’m a musician.
Over and over again
After a while the trips start to become
Boring, I mean —
The whole time
I’ve been tripping, I’ve also been on HRT
So each time I sober up
There is less of a difference between
Who I am, and who I’m supposed to be.
