Inspired by @cmind_g:

I hope that I’m charming
I hope that I’m pretty
I hope someone asks me to dance

I hope that the man of my dreams will appear
And that I will merit a glance

I hope that the hormones will not make me sick
And surgery won’t make me die
I hope that the sacrifice, sorrow and pain are not for one soul-crushing lie

I hope that I’m strong
I hope that I’m handsome
I hope for a masculine stance

I hope that the boy who had felt up my chest will never twice spare me a glance

I hope that the hormones will give me the power
And surgery makes me more plain
I hope that nobody will treat me like women are treated again and again

This poem is called “Gender Euphoria”. Happy #TransAwarenessWeek
