Transgender a Story Untold

I am transgender, a soul untamed,
Seeking solace, my true self proclaimed.
In this journey, I've found my role,
Here's what I need to be made whole.

Acceptance, a beacon to light my way,
Embracing love, where judgment won't sway.
A mirror that reflects my inner grace,
To see myself, unburdened by the chase.

Understanding hearts, compassionate and kind,
A refuge where I can peace of mind find.
Words of affirmation, whispered in the air,
Affirming my existence, showing they care.

A world that dismantles oppressive walls,
Where equality reigns and prejudice falls.
Opportunities to thrive, without constraint,
For my dreams and talents, a fair playing paint.

Connection to a community, strong and tight,
Where unity blossoms, like stars in the night.
Courage to be vulnerable, without fear,
Knowing my truth is valued and held dear.

I am transgender, bold and unafraid,
Demanding respect, in every accolade.
With these elements, a tapestry untold,
I'll embrace my journey, and forever unfold.

In our world of equality, where rights are embraced, Sexual discrimination finds no rightful place. Bold and courages your words. Congratulations a well deserved POTD! Men dressing as woman goes back before antiquity & v.v. Rarely a problem until politicians made it a problem. The original Juliet in Shakespeare’s time, was played by a man! Sagacious, your activism in this regard is laudable. Your story is beautifully written and shared with A foundation built on love's sturdy frame, Bringing healing whispers, banishing shame. From your Healing Haven poem. Hopefully this is that place where you'll shine!

Congratulations James on a well deserved POTD! Your beautiful poem touched my heart. Your words saddened me as you should not have to ask for acceptance, kindness and connection those things should come naturally to others but alas and unfortunately its not that simple. An amazing poem that says what needs to be said eloquently and perfectly! Debx
