We Are Human
Being trans is not glory
It's not for fame
Or attention
It is Tortured
If you think
We want attention,
Don't you think
We would do it in a way where we won't lose everything?
Our friends?
Leave us
Our family?
Kick us out
Our emotions?
Tell us we are nothing
Society?
Try to kill us
Being a trans male is bad
Bring a trans woman is worse
Men can bind
Men can stop periods
And prevent pregnancy
Woman?
Can fill bras
But what they can't do?
They can’t easily get rid of one thing
Do you know what dysphoria is?
Have you ever felt like you don't look good enough?
Dysphoria is worse
Wanting body parts you don’t have
Wanting to get rid of others
Wanting to die because you hate your body
Wishing you weren’t even born
Or at least born in the right body
Fearing going out on a walk
Because
Someone may kill you
Or beat you
Or try and rape you
Why would anyone choose this life?
It is torcher
We wish we were cis
And if you don't know what that means,
It means born a male or female
We are tired of getting harassed
Told its a phase
We don’t need you telling us that its a phase
We fight with ourselves every day
Asking the same thing
Everyday
If you think being trans is a joke,
Looking for attention,
Or trying to be cool,
You are wrong
It is hell
Torment
And i feel bad for everyone that has to go through it
I am a trans male
Originally born in a female body
I've wanted to die
Ive been bullied
I have feared certain people finding out
Part of my family grew distant
I lost many friends
So trust me when I say it's not fun
Its not for glory
It's not for attention
We are human
We are like you
Just born
The wrong way
In the wrong body
And if you are reading this
And are trans
Please know you can do this
You will survive
You are amazing
I SUPPORT YOU
WE SUPPORT YOU
