Fight transphobia

lyrics

You’re walking on the street on a normal day
And you’re walking to your normal place
On this normal afternoon in your normal town
Everything is so fucking normal, I feel so fucking down.
You meet your normal neighbors, but they look at you with disregard
And you apply to a normal workplace, but realize that finding a job is really hard
And it’s difficult living around places that won’t accept you for who you are.
To them you’re just a faggot, but hey kid, you’re gonna go far.

And when they look at you with those dark eyes,
Just stare back and disprove all the lies
Let them know that you’re tired of all the pain caused
On your transgender friends.

People don’t have to die for who they are
And they really shouldn’t be beaten while walking to their car
Fuck normalities and fuck social norms
Be as taboo as you can be and create a fucking storm
Don’t listen when they say demeaning words
That are only used to hurt you at your worst
Flaunt that shit, work it and own it
You’re better than them if you don’t give in to their shit.

The bible never said anything about gender normalities
The body is a temple, but the brain is the altar if you please
Gender is who you feel most comfortable as
And sex is only explained through your gentalias

And when they look at you with those dark eyes,
Just stare back and disprove all the lies
Let them know that you’re tired of all the pain caused
On your transgender friends.
