Wake Up
March 12, 2014 at 9:11pm

Can I have your attention please? I am not going away, but you're welcome to walk out the door. What i have to say, may not be enjoyable. For too many years i have kept quiet. But now i have a microphone, I HAVE A VOICE. There is no escape, I demand and now have your full attention



I am transgender, and I'm here to speak out. I am not doing this for attention, or to trick guys into sleeping with me. We are not sex crazed maniacs. So when you see me in the washroom, shut the fuck up. I'm trying to take a piss, not see up your skirt. Contrary to popular belief, we are human fucking beings.



Everyone wants to try me out for just a little but. But what's so hard about taking me home to mom and dad. Good enough for your bed, but not the dinner table. I am not your dirty little secret. You fellows would be surprised at how many of your friends take a pass at me when you're not around. So what's so difficult about keeping that "faggot" to yourself?



Know what's truly scary? Going out the door, changing rooms, and all these gender barriers. Equality shouldn't be a thing, it should just be. There is a huge difference between asking my sexuality, and assuming it. This is a gender change, not a preference change. No wait, i lied. This is a correction. I've been playing catch up since day one.



You have no idea how frustrating it is having to constantly explain the gender marker on your identification card. If you're too comfortable, you're doing something wrong. If you've never fought for something, you've never tried. The unknown  walk the earth. So get off your ass and be someone, and leave me the fuck alone. I'm just trying to live my life.



This is not a choice. The crisis of being trans is black and white. Life, and death. Too many of my brothers and sisters choose that final solution. Lose a son, or embrace a daughter. I know it's hard to change all those memories of your darling baby boy. You don't have to. But turn your back, and you never understood love.



Today i stand before you, liberated and free. This skin is finally my own. I can take back the rental. For the first time ever, i looked into a mirror, and not glaze over some moving image of a stranger. They call this gender dysphoria. But i am not confused! Not anymore. It's more like gender euphoria, nirvana, shambhala.



Wake up! We do exist and i'm nothing like the image hollywood would portray me as. Try to look the other way, but it is going to get harder and harder to ignore this six foot tall tranny. I'm going to rape your bigotry, the same way your ignorance ruined my childhood. Fear me! Because i no longer fear you. I'm going to take these streets back in the name of acceptance. One person at a time I am going to show you; i am not a threat to your manliness, to your religion, or your fucking family values. If this is the face of evil, i weep that i cannot show you heaven.



Right here is the result of an extremely conservative upbringing. My friends will not disown me if they see me in a skirt. They showed me true love. And with them behind me, we can change the world. So fuck Money, fuck materialism, fuck imposed values, fuck right and wrong, and above all; fuck bending hate! I will not rest, so long as another person suffers. Even if i do not share your rights. This freak has woken up.
