When attacks from TERFS are gaining traction

the transfolk have been Othered by the press

we don't understand the national reaction

when the country is in such a state of mess. 

What did we do to warrant such distrainment

when all we want's to live our lives in peace?

Hating us is not an entertainment

we'd like the billionaire to kindly cease.

Why don't you throw your money at such causes

as mutilation of girls of this nation

because their patriarchal leader forces

to female genital mutilation.

 "That doesn't happen here," I hear you saying

 but seven in a thousand girls are praying.
