How does one deal with prejudice

handed down from Scottish tarts like feudal law

to be obeyed by every citizen. This

denial of human rights is such a bore

to bear from someone who has masked her name

as male and that women are perceived

as unimportant voices in a world of men. The same

misogyny that as a child she had received.

Assigned as male at birth, I fought so long

to fit within this binar gendered role

until at last I broke away into a song

of freedom for my strictly female soul.

 I would, were I a billionaire like she, 

 campaign instead 'gainst poverty.
