lyrics

Every single day for 26 years I cursed whatever higher power made me this way
Made me have this thing between my legs,
A chest like a smooth blank wall
I cursed the facial hair I thought I had to grow to keep up with the illusion of being masculine
In 26 years I attempted suicide 11 times
The first happened at just 9 years old
The last at 23
At 26 I felt safe enough to tell the world I am not a man
I am not a man
I have never been a man
At 27 I started hormones
Now I have ridges and valleys, peaks and plains
My body is no longer something I curse
And neither are the powers that made me
Now I am in love with life no matter how hard it gets because I am no longer an illusion
But somehow my comfort goes against your moral values
Well fuck your moral values
Fuck your values
Fuck your god damn moral values
If being trans is morally corrupt then so be it
I'm trans and I'm proud
