Tungstenturtle Poetry

A trigger topic, significant,
a discussion, relevant.
Just being unaffected,
is not to be expected.

Hate and harm increasing,
due to some old farts pleasing.
I cannot stand the blind mass,
people out there, who belong to us.

Suffer from populistic propaganda,
causing beautiful humans going down under.
This has to stop right away,
and there is so much to say.

Let us create understanding,
and bring this hate to an ending.
Join me on a mind tour,
some will understand for sure.

Imagine a certain feeling in you,
that whatever you are is not true.
It is a slow realization,
and in thousandfold variation.

Until you realize a fact,
no more to neglect.
Your biology unfits the sex you belong to
how to stand being naked or just you?

Feeling alien to your body,
not to speak of sexuality.
Like being caged, no way out,
no matter your tears and your shout.

In a status most vulnerable,
insecure and uncomfortable.
Help, love and support mandatory,
very often faced the contrary.

Unable to feel in or to understand,
if, usually, a fake pretend.
Humans tend to crush the weak,
imagine it, being called a freak.

Feel the insecurity of reaction,
the fear of neglection.
Imagine how hard it must be,
to accept yourself to that degree.

Will medication and surgery,
finally set you free?
However the journey may look like,
against homophobia we must strike.

To fight for freedom,
to live and to overcome,
natures inadequacy,
messing with peoples biology.

Whomever trans you meet,
in daily life, on a street.
Like you and me they are unique,
a life to live is what they seek.

They deserve normality,
being accepted and free,
noone of us choose how we feel,
therefore it should be no big deal.

Stand up against religious foes,
and their hipocrite no goes,
stand strong against nationalism,
nothing good came ever from facism.

Red lines are violated,
that to be stated.
Transsexuality,
is a natural part of humanity.

Let me say this clear. I am not trans, but I see more and more bashing against people who are trans. I lack every understanding how it must be alike. But I can imagine that it is unwanted and not helpful for those people that „important“ politicans and religious groups intensify their propaganda against them.
In my vision of life everyone is a precious individual who deserves to be exactly the way someone is.
Stay strong!
