Poem: My Sex Traits Don’t Create My Gender Identity

My Sex Traits Don’t Create My Gender Identity

I am not a non-binary person.

I am a man

an intersex man

My Sex Traits Don’t Create My Gender Identity

My gender is in my brain and heart.

My body is intersex.

I have an intersex body.

We used to be called hermaphrodites.

I am a man

an interssex man

with a hermaphrodite body

My Sex Traits Don’t Create My Gender Identity

In my case my sex does not match my gender

My birth certificate says intersex

My real lived gender is man

Sometimes the two do not match

I am a man

an intersex man
