First of three poems I have just looked for and found for the Transgender of Remembrance.

 

 

FTM by Aaron

 

FTM

 

I am male

I am human

the word “Girl” is like getting stabbed in the chest.

 

Getting called a girl

a lady

a female

but no, I am male.

 

People don't understand the pain of dysphoria

they don't understand the pain,

getting called the wrong name

or the wrong gender.

 

People say it's

a phase

it's a choice,

but they will never understand,

I was born this way.

 

I can't change who I am and I don't want to

I am transgender

I am human

I am proud.
