Trans-action and Gender Floods by Atreyu Bat

Dear you,

you’re wearing a corset and vinyl leggings

and you don’t have breasts to fill in the pockets,

but you look great in it anyway.

Dear you,

sucking on star shaped chocolate

while picking out a pink strap-on

to make love to your beautiful cis-gendered boyfriend.

Dear you,

testosterone lowers your voice

but your face still looks like a doll

and that lipstick looks great on you.

Dear you,

You can’t be a girl scout

but you make tents in your backyard

invite all your friends

and you eat unroasted marshmallows

and braid each others hair.

Who needs badges anyway?

Dear you,

Mens or Womens?

Womens or Mens?

You want to walk between the doors

and find a stall just for you.

Instead go to Target,

they have unisex bathrooms and icees

and thats the best way to celebrate your gender.

Dear you,

you can’t join the mens club

and your sister wants you to be a brides maid.

You just want to grow out your beard

and braid the hair on your chin.

So you do,

and you look great in that dress,

even if your sister had to pick a friend to be a bridesmaid instead.

Dear you,

Throw out ‘girls only’ clubs

and who needs ‘boys only’?

When you can all go to the nearest sex shop

and buy harnesses and blueberry lubricant,

then eat tacos next door.

Dear you,

it won’t be easy.

No one ever said it would be.

Some people won’t recognize who you are,

and sometimes that won’t be okay.

And sometimes being who you are

also means being nervous, and being left out.

But don’t forget that you can make your own club;

your ‘boys and girls’ club.

Where your mustache can match your dress,

and you don’t need badges to be a girl.

Don’t forget that their second glances,

their questioning gazes,

and their confusion,

takes nothing away from your magic.

After all,

your lipstick is on perfect, and it matches your dress.

After all,

who needs boyscouts when you’ve got a vintage corset

and a great singing voice?

And you,

don’t forget,

that your different colours do not betray your beauty

but add to it.
