Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

A Transgender Barbie

A transgender Barbie! What? The bridge ladies are upset.
Their best friend is not proud Mary, my friend from Winterset.
Her daughter is transgender, and she is tickled as can be.
If you had a transgender in your family, you would feel differently.

The laughter gets so loud, it unnerves me more than just a bit.
I had one, said one mean looking broad, but my husband threw a fit.
We threw her out, and now she sleeps on someone else’s couch.
I wonder about this woman, whose empathy is apparently a slouch. 

But isn’t she still your baby? Don’t you love her? I ask this crone just so. 
She gives a maniacal laugh, I think it is a cover up for feelings of woe. 
Why should she? Asks another witch from the table I am sitting at. 
So I get up and run out, screaming, for their meanness is so phat!

Rico Leffanta June 12, 2022 at 11:26 AM I do not understand how so many people can visit a zoo and remain ignorant of diversity! Native Americans tribes usually distinguish 3-5 sexes, but Europeans find 3 a sacred number except when it comes to sex, where there MUST be only two and then only in the missionary position! Well said, Caren! Aloha! Caren Krutsinger June 12, 2022 at 1:17 PM Thank you my friend! We are so limiting here!

L Milton Hankins June 12, 2022 at 10:26 AM I would've had the same reaction. I have a dear friend, an attorney, who is transgender, and she is delightful, brilliant, a wonderful conversationalist, and very, very happy in her own skin. Gina is very special to me. Caren Krutsinger June 12, 2022 at 1:17 PM I love so many transgendered children.
