who is that boy,
wearing a dress?
dancing with Anna and making a mess?

who is that boy,
wearing a skirt?
who's skipping with Josie and being a flirt?

who is that boy,
with with glittery eyes?
why is he wearing so proudly those lies?

who is that boy,
in the girls' loos?
and why is he pretending that he belongs too?

who is that boy,
as innocent as you?
and why treat him badly if he's equal too?

that boy is a girl,
and haven't you heard?
she'd answer your questions but she thinks they're absurd.

who is that child,
alone as can be?
doesn't she know that transphobics are fleas?
