An Anonymous Poem, From a Parent of an Intersex Child: She Had No Voice

They said we need to take a second look
They said he needs to be fixed
She had no voice

*****

They said you now have a beautiful boy
They misplaced the words that would open our eyes
She had no voice

*****

They washed their hands clean and sent us on our way
The letter came and shed light on our anomaly
She was never given a choice

*****

He blossomed into a person

*****
His voice began to surface
He said I’m a person please call me she

They broke our trust

*****
They stole a choice
She has a voice
