Most Hated

Anxiety Depression Self harm Suicide Transgender One of these words does not belong with the others and yet they always seem to come hand in hand For some of us Growing up was like trying to learn to ride a bike with no wheels with people standing around you constantly yelling Why aren’t you moving! All the other kids are long gone! Just Try Harder! Push the pedals! You’ll get it to work eventually! and you just sit with a heavy heart, your chin at your chest, and your eyes filled with tears knowing that they were the ones that took off the wheels in the first place. When you spend your entire life being told you’re a girl It’s kind of difficult to say otherwise but here it is I AM A MAN! And what gives you the right to say otherwise? I know who I am better than anyone else What’s between my legs has nothing to do with you Just because I take my binder off at night does not make me any less of a man Just because my voice is higher than his and my legs are shorter than yours and my face looks more like hers that does not make me a girl This isn’t about my vessel This is about my soul and when it’s constantly screaming MAN MAN MAN! you start to listen and i’m sorry some of you can’t hear it but this is who I am and I am not apologizing
