What’s your name?
Jessica
Nop! That’s not your name!
Jess
Nop! Nop! Not your name
I look up to a smile
A knife flipping ham
Too late we do not serve your kind
Ohh by the way are your boobs real?
Sorry the university can not help
Human Rights Commission Doors close
They might use male pronouns, don’t get upset, says the Human Rights Inspector
7 faces stare at me
We do not understand
State your full legal name
Speak louder ohh let me take my earplugs out
Outed
By the way pronouns do not exist here
I still can’t hear you
Remove the tape from her mouth
I scream
Accept our offer
NO! I will not break.
Sitting on the waterfront
Do I drownd? What’s the point nothing will change?
Anger voices fill my head
Is this worth it?
Social Isolation
I am a creature who crawel out of the seaweed
looks of disgust reflect off the water
voices ecco We do not serve Trans Women here only humans
do not sit becides me you sick bastard
homelessness, rape follows
A special strength flows out of me to continue called courage
displaying this quality results in social isolation
murdered people seen as victims
their spirits rise as warriors tonight
dreams and hopes violently shattered by an evil force
someone wants to chop me up FUCK THEM
I am not scared anymore
When I die I die without regrets
Today, Tomorrow I live as ME as Jessica
A gift so many others will not see
I am called an advocate a bad ass lady
I took a stand when no one would listen
discrimination + hatred sometimes follows me in the streets
A creature called systemic oppression lives in many of our government institutions
light explodes when advocates speak
spearing this monster
During the day I stab this monster of Transphobia
every chance I get
When I go to sleep I dream of world without hatred + transphobia
I put down my weapons until a new day begins.
