Say it Again

Woman

Transphobic behaviour from others can have a major impact particularly at the early stages of gender transition. Finding the strength to believe in yourself is essential to your wellbeing. During my early days of transition I was anxious, hesitant, and unsure of myself, and this was a time when I was still coming to terms with my situation. Transphobic comments will often emerge at the times they are least expected but trust yourself, be you, and remember the majority of the time the people hurling abuse at you are really hurling it at themselves. You are beautiful and unique. #stayfabulous

SAY IT AGAIN

Say it again.

Say it all again.

If you want, then shout.

Really make sure,

You miss nothing out.

I want to hear it all,

So shout it loud, every variation.

Hold nothing back, more than words,

I want the whole sensation!

Come on, give it to me.

Is that all you have got?

I am still here.

And I am still standing.

Is that your lot?

Dig deeper, I will not ignore.

I can take your scathing rot.

I have taken it before,

And I will take it again.

So, come on big shot!

I want you to feel,

How it really feels to be you.

And to hate, such hate,

Come on, you have got it in you!

Let it all out, I am standing right here.

Lets really get raw.

And when you are done, start over,

I am ready for more.

And when your words run out,

And when your well runs dry.

I will sit with you,

Hold your hand,

Rest your head,

Whilst you cry.

You are not the first,

And you will not be the last.

I am one with who I am.

Your hateful words,

Will never get past.
