Episode 5: Facing transphobia
from Queen Cattis: Finding my voice Hosted by Alvhild Catarina Jansdotter
I had a bit of a day, well, a couple of days. I need to vent a bit about transphobia so this is the most unscipted I have ever been. There are good things too obviously and of course I am still ending with some poetry! Thank you all for listening! Today’s sonnets: 1 Outside my window staring in Unhindered by the cold and rain You’re waiting for it to begin Unending feast of fear and pain Been right behind me all my life Your shadows breathing down my neck Yoúr seething hatred forms a knife To lure me t’ward a flaming wreck So sick and tired of that shit Why should I cower in the dark I’ll tear the wall down bit by bit Watch me reject your shameful mark You wave the flag of genocide But I refuse to run and hide 2 You had me going for some time You made me doubt my very soul My mere existence was a crime I hate you for the years you stole I see you now in all your “might” I see you cling to times of old You thought you’d never have to fight If you could keep us in the cold I’m not a fool I know you will Keep hitting us with all you’ve got You’ll keep attacking us until All you’ve got left to do is rot It might be painful now and then But I refuse to hide again
