Having a Great Time Being Transgender in America Lately
BY JACKIE SABBAGH
It is day infinity
of everyone wanting me dead. People are having fun
bringing lemon squares and automatic artillery to the anti-trans community meetings.
Divorced legislators harangue
about pedophile cults and surgeried infants and what ever happened to forever ago.
I am more beautiful than you and I would like to be loved.
I am getting concerned
about the monomaniacs who make their entire lives about deadnaming and transvestigations:
obviously it’s working but aren’t you exhausted, don’t you remember
when someone loved you without knowing what you were?
I am eating shortbread on a patio table overlooking the enormous green ocean.
Somewhere an octopus is being eaten by an octopus and not panicking.
Black dress to the floor, red acrylic nails, silver teardrop earrings, waterproof mascara.
I am excited to do this for the rest of my life and be terrified.
I hear a noise behind me and I don’t turn around.

Alternative title
A child being real at Bodega
"Misogynistic slur against a kid,
I am a narcissist, disguised my voice,
My face looks like a criminals'.
The child asked her mother if I was a man
She said "I don't know", I don't believe them,
she was being mean on purpose ( :( ).
I go home and cry because I'm fragile and ill.
I throw food at the wall and make a mess, food I get because it's cheap junk.
I miss you. I'm ageing miserably while you are happy. This is deep."
- Jackie Sabbagh

I have no opinion about how personally obsessed transvestigators are. That poem sure is interesting though. Excellent presentation of a particular mindset.
