Call me Ms hermaphrodite or Mr
I don’t care: I have any gender I want
For whatever bed I need
Too much information but then again
This for the grown folks I’m talking
Like said Mrs Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
And search results show you already know
And very much Like me and all the hermaphrodites
Out here with petite sticks and large chests
Strong, small, big, tall, we out here like all

So many different types but we all have in common
You that erase us dismiss us and say we don’t exist
While you keep hunting pictures of people like us
While you support doctors and hospitals
To maim and murder us as babies
Saying hush it will be over soon

My child surgeries were explained to me
As something needed by the lady who calls herself my mom who will also tell You and tell anyone
She wanted a girl and she got a beautiful one
So she forced this gender on me and I fought it
Till she called me a demon and I smiled
if indeed it meant For us two different heavens because hell is definitely when
What’s between your legs
causes you pain instead of pleasure an entire life

God virilized me the doctors said when I was 19
So I took blockers for T and did a lot to be fem
Wasn't me, wasn't all me, my body said
Wasn't for me, wasn't for me a life with prosaic men
Stopped taking t, stopping dating pokers, nearly all of them jokers, and said, what do I want to do
with myself, if I was just me?

I’m Ms hermaphrodite and you can call me Mr
so I said let me show My trans
and use science the Lord done gave us
And take up some T and live all mighty
in the glory of God made me
So I got me some bottom growth
and I’m growing till I’m showing no one
but how wonderful it is to be Ms hermaphrodite
or you can call me Mr
or any pronoun will do
because all pronouns matter
to me and my God up there

Oh, we know about you!
Yup, had my people as sideshow attractions
Paid people to lift their skirts
to see what was Unexpected
while only giving the worst life to people
Born twice blessed by God above
to do some awesome stuff
because to be born different
Is to be God blessed
so I think if you’re a couple
kinda differents
God really really loves you!

Nay! Feel not forsaken and remember
the tests God has given those he loves.
How am I unlike the Stranger?
I’d have you treat me with the same kindness
you should show anyone,
including my approval for using
my most technical name

Call me Ms hermaphrodite
That’s all right you can even call me Mr
Sometimes you’ll just think I’m all glitter
But in the midst of my bold is gold
God left for his people in the form of
Differing creatures like me
Born with more than one gender
only you’d Almost need to be inside me to see it

A vulnerability, because penetrators love a tight feel
I’ve been assaulted more than a hundred times
Followed through parking lots and stopped to be groped mostly, but not Always by men
people have always loved to touch my skin

These days I have a sign that says don’t touch me and I keep my distance and what a silver lining for me with this pandemic.
The distance to feel safe can be everywhere
so let me spin a bit and dance,
and Shake a bit of what God gave me

Call me Ms hermaphrodite or call me Mr
I’m one of the old types who still calls themselves
bisexual, and uses the technical terms cause in some way they explain right away and in others
they share my history and the history of my kinds
survivors of whom I am most proud

A people they once used in zoos
These days it seems they all love that in between
That middlesex or spectrum is something God made
I’ll not have you forget it, and I demand you respect it
Whether they call themselves intersex or different,
Whether they are a Mx. or androgenous trans or non-binary I’ll have you regret your insistence to inspect every bod God made and remind you
He also made me

Call me Ms hermaphrodite or call me Mr
It kinda only depends on how we get down
Or whether you’re leading in the dance or it’s me
Always me ‘cause even when I am led I’m still leading
Always me ‘cause when you are more than one
It’s like you dancing with two and excuse me if
One of us steps on your feet
Got a lot to juggle here…
