I’ve always thought my life was on a
timer.

The life expectancy is
shorter by
15-20 or so…

Sometimes,
in some places,
my life is illegal.
(Maybe this place.)

Just because I was born with a lack of
penis,
dick,
cock,
or
the right genitalia.

But I didn’t think my transition was also on a
t i m e r .

Now, I feel a lack of
time,
safety,
hope,
or
even a future
reborn inside of me.

What new hatred will emerge in the next
f o u r fucking y e a r s?
(That is, if his
timer
is real.)

What new policies will arise?

This
timer
makes the noose around
my life feel impossibly
tighter,

until I’m choking on
tears,
lack of a penis,
lack of rights.

This fucking
timer,
built on hatred.

it’s not just counting down my life…
it’s counting out my soul…
on our souls.
