The “Trans Community”
If I had a dollar for everytime
Someone told me I was part of some sort of tribe.
The trans community is not a community–
It isn’t. It houses no one
It protects no one
The reason we have rights is because of
Gay white males and I swear to fucking god
These people
Who complain
About the “community”
Are driving me fucking insane.
It isn’t one
Definitely not nowadays
What is it that you want exactly?
A family ?
A friend?
A fuck?
Is that what a community is to you?
Cuz you ain’t gonna get any of that
From “the queer community”
Jesus fucking christ ya’ll.
Your identity and your choices
And your life
Are yours, you don’t share that
With other people.
We are a community because of
Who excludes us–
Maybe next time you wonder
Why it is
You hate the “trans community” so much
Maybe it’s because you’re the one excluding everyone.
