A poem for 'Melissa' and 'Tiffany'
Jan. 12th, 2010 01:07 amThis morning, I posted this link which spells out a case which seems to overlap with many of the worst nightmares of the trans people I know. Luckily - and I use the term a bit sardonically - it seems that some of the worst fears expressed in the original post may not be, in fact, quite as justified in this particular case as we had believed.
In other cases I know of, they probably were, and the possibility always remains, just as long term gay and lesbian lovers are torn from deathbeds and women are murdered for short skirts or looking at the wrong boy, or any girl.
If it did not happen this time, it will some other.
Poem behind cut tags, because a bit on the intense side.
( They want to erase us, to pretend that we never were. )
