I'm tempted to do an Isabella
in a protest over transgender rights
and go beat up some random fella
in publicised, national jiu-jitsu fights.
I've fought in competitions before
and lost or won against good women
in sports halls covered with a matted floor
with choke applied and consciousness dimming.
But one hateful millionaire's opinions
that transfolk are the biggest threat
had made the country her dominion:
to highlight those she hasn't met.
So I'll enter as 'competitive fighter'
to make transwomen's futures brighter.
