Religious saying:

"Jesus has your back."

A rear-naked choke?

A very Gendered Fear

a subject of own concern is health

and the terror of the method I might die

I prior thought ironic: without wealth

upon the NHS I would rely.

For given I am Trans, and woman, now,

the terrible affliction that I fear

while being banned from women's wards the wow!

would be prostrate cancer biting out my rear.

But whilst performing my nightly wellness check

I found a lump that I do not recall

it's sent my mind spinning, for, oh heck!

Will genitalia cancer be my fall?

 Compounding with my trans-related issue:

 my vagina is composed of scrotal tissue.
