Why do I feel like A VISITING ALIEN?

Do I really have to have more surgery to fit into

YOUR WORLD?

I use to appear a typical woman

Then I use to want to appear a typical man

Now I am being compared to transgender men

I even made a lousy woman.

Where do I fit in?

Please do not erase me

♥

I have had over nineteen surgeries

Thanks to being sickly and broken all my life

I am EXHAUSTED trying to fit into your world

Please do not erase me

♥

Just let my body be.

They say “No Body is Shameful”

Oh how beautiful that is!

Please do not erase me

♥

I just want to go to the beach, the pool; to dress the way I am

But do I dare?

Will I be called the bearded woman?

Will you call me drag?

Would you be my friend or talk behind my back?

I am not a circus sideshow

♥

I am not a woman

I am an intersex person

I am an intersex man

Please do not erase me

♥

They said I am unlovable

Yet I even proved you wrong there

I am loved, desired and needed

I am a LOVED

parent, a husband, a brother, a cousin, and an amazing friend!

I even contribute to this world to make your planet a better place

YET

Here I am wishing…….

to be a part of your world

♥

Please, I beg this world for

OUR

HUMAN RIGHTS

♥

STOP Cutting us to make us fit in

Stop expecting me to CUT myself

To fit in.

♥

I WILL NOT HAVE MORE SURGERY! 

This is my planet too!

“I”

Simply want human rights

“I”

Want to feel human

♥

Please do not erase me,

or

any of us Intersex People

“I”

doesn’t have to be invisible anymore!

I wrote this poem to go along with this blog post: 

All Intersex Bodies are beautiful, and I do not need fixed to fit your normal
