Genetalia and Gender

Does she want her very own vagina?
Yes, M to F trans girl...
Does she really really want a vagina?
It's like wanting to invert your fingers to
Make a mouth... No air could get through...
It wouldn't be able to speak...
But I'm sure you could get it to move 
Well enough that you could lip sync...
Dress it up in drag and perform.... Not that
Vaginas perform... Welllllll... Never mind

Does he want to be a girl ?
Yes, M to F trans girl.
Does he really really want to be a girl?
To many, it's like saying you are gonna transition 
To become a dog...
"So I've started barking... its gonna 
take a while until I sound just like a dog...
I go to the plastic surgeon next week 
To get my tail... I've started peeing on the
Bushes... Will you walk me on a leash?"

Fact: When babies are born, we decide if 
they are a boy or a girl according to
Their genitalia... All of a sudden,  
liberals tell people that genitalia 
doesn't determine gender...
We are confusing the common person,
And at times, it even confuses me...

So if she looks like a man in a dress, why
Should she be offended if people confuse
Pronouns? If they knew her as a man her 
Entire life, how can she expect them to 
Transition with her when it took her this
Long just to confront the fact that she may
Be a girl, and she hasn't even tried on a dress
Yet...?

This is a song from their perspective.
I get that others don't understand.  But 
before you slaughter everyone who doesn't
comprehend, please look at the fact that
that you didn't understand it for a long time
either, it's why it took you so long to come out.
If this pisses you off, you've lost compassion
for many of the people who may be your allies
if you'd just know that our culture has trained
us incorrectly. It's not an attack or a threat,
This is the stress of change. Forgive us.
