Here is another transgender poem for you:
She has a pretty face, But how did she get there?
Once she was a man, No longer so – through the change A transformation.
There is a medical method Of face feminization surgery And there is the sorcery of Make-up applied just right.
Sometimes the hormones taken Make subtle changes And sometimes men are born With a woman’s visage.
And there is the inner secret Of knowing who she is NOW! That makes her face always pretty – No matter what its form.

Until adulthood I was softish kind of boy Shy – an introvert When I just wanted to be an extrovert With an extra X in my genes.
I took the gay route for years – Best friends with women, Nuzzled against hard-abbed men And tried my best to appear Happy, in the old-fashioned sense of gay, But I hungered underneath To have the body of a woman With the curves and hormones, And a female perspective of the world.
Luck showered me with money, And honesty lead me to older trans-women Who smoothed the path a bit And guided me towards My own transformation And my arrival as an able-bodied Not man, Not completely woman, But the person I was meant to be.
