Gender Dysphoria

Gender Dysphoria

 

 

Gender dysphoria

doesn’t start in Peoria

but in more opulent places with grand, open spaces

and the finest emporia.

How swiftly this notion has swept through our nation

though it’s not cool to call it a social contagion

No, it’s forbidden to question the why or the how

We can only accept it and make our kowtow

to the gods of a private, unseen identity

who cannot be doubted lest they lose their serenity.

How noble the struggle, how lofty the song

of those who tell Nature where She’s gone wrong

But by the same token, they cannot look askance

if I pronounce I’m a lost king of France

Then I too may order my subjects to speak

in a manner befitting my self-made mystique.
