Poem: Stop Cutting us With Steel

Stop Cutting us With Steel

We are not a myth,

We are real.

We are hermaphrodites.

To be cut by the blade, and by steel.

To be erased, by this cruel world.

That is threatened by our existence.

We are not a myth,

We are real.

We are hermaphrodites.

That word

HERMAPHRODITE

you even destroyed that too!

Making it a dirty word, a dirty name!

Making an excuse to erase us.

Telling us we could not be a boy.

Telling us we could not be a girl.

Telling us we could not be both!

To cut it off, to cut it out, to make us infertile, and unable to orgasm.

To lock us up in psychiatric hospitals for being gay or lesbian.

To be surgically erased, or even aborted.

580b585b2edbce24c47b294a

We are not a myth,

We are real.

Stop cutting us with steel.

Is Self-Determination too much to ask for?
Let us walk this Earth again.

Stop stealing from us what is ours.

We are Born Perfect!
