Working Man

I meet so many people on the daily

People that just genuinely

Do not know that I’m trans

That do not care

Because it’s never going to matter

Working as a man in the world is hands down

The most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me

It’s the part of transitioning that no one talked about anywhere I could find except like

Young trans mens professional groups that are honestly kind of awkward

Especially if you start out as a broke unemployed depressed musician

So it’s like

Idk man

Chicken or the egg, being a person

Who participated in society

Is such a tremendous privilege that has been kept from me

I have to fight so hard for work, for opportunity

Everything is freely taken from me but

I finally found a job that isn’t running from me

And I feel like I finally know

Who I was trying to be
