I do not owe you androgyny,
Nor am I required to provide an explanation.
Divided by my mind and your liesI torture myself daily
Viced by your phobic hold and proclamation
Insidious in cishet lives
Despite so frequently
Undone with facts and infractions
Absconding our basic human rights.
Let the world see me, validated and recognised by law and by life.
