The Transphobe Tip-Toe
My least favorite dance.
The awkward shuffle they do
When they know that
Their true thoughts came out
And weren’t edited enough into
Fluff they feel like they have to say—
They just treat you how they see you
An angry lunatic asking more than they are entitled to.
Absolutely anything
Will make them tip toe around you
If they don’t see you as human.
For many, being trans is just flat out
Something they can’t imagine doing
Ever in their right mind. Which I assume is why
They treat me like I’m out of mine.
