It's not okay to ask what parts I have
It's not okay to say that it's a phase
It's not okay to say that I'm just a tomboy
It's not okay to say that the first time you saw me you thought I was a girl
It's not okay to say that I would be pretty as a girl
It's not okay to say that I don't look good as a guy
It's not okay to ask if I'm "Butch or something"
It's not okay to make comments about my feminine voice
It's not okay to ask how I have sex as a trans guy
It's not okay to treat me like a girl
It's not okay to ask me what bathroom I use
It's not okay to say that I'm "technically" a guy
It's not okay to say I'm not a real man
It's not okay to hit me or get rough with me, cause "I'm a man now"
It's not okay to tell me I should wait until I'm a certain age, to know for sure
It's not okay to isolate me from other guys or girls cause I'm "not like them"
It's not okay to break social norms
Because I'm an "exception"
I'm not
I am human
Just like you
And it's not okay to act this way
So stop acting like it is.
