Songs in T-Minor - 2. T*****

This poem was inspired by a conversation I had on Facebook the other day. Words matter.

just because your friends say it

that doesn’t mean you get to call me

tranny

 

you wouldn’t call someone a

faggot

so why do you think it’s okay to call me

tranny

 

they use that word to

spit on us

they use that word to

threaten us

they use that word to

hurt us

 

you talk about intent

fuck your intent

if you use that word i will assume

that you are hostile

i will assume

that you’re a bigot

and i will run the other way

 

so just because your trans friends call each other that

that doesn’t mean you get to call me

tranny

Thank you for reading.

What you write conveys the hurt you felt, and the anger so very well.
