The Fayth

A living archive in motion

The frame changes with the day. The center keeps your record intact.

White trans will use you for your
Money and your connections
And call it part of their gender introspective

White trans out here all the time
Lifting up the name of Black and
Brown trans people
But won’t ever let you see them
Because white trans keeps
Doors shut on people of color
Particularly Black men
The least subservient in Black trans

Oh man
white trans
Dominate every conversation
Pretty consistently
While every trans leaders room
Is all light all white

White trans white trans
Why you so plain
White trans why
Pretend all men and women are the same
Is Refusing to honor people
Born different from you
now the trans game
in these 2020’s?

Let me explain
a big difference
Between me, a Black trans
And all them white trans
If you say “I believe God,”
All I wanna do is pray with you
I believe God might show you
(As He shown me)
The beauty and
Perfection of trans identity
Which of course
He created
It’s just a matter of not getting
Caught up in labels

White trans want you fired
(That ain’t me)
White trans wants explicit stuff in schools
(That ain’t me)
White trans is a violence
(That ain’t all of us)
Nor was it always this way
No, it wasn’t always just, white trans
This is the result of intersex violence.

What you feel and what hurts
Is the decimation of us
Black and Brown
Two spirit and South Asian
Pacific Islander and Samoan
Asian and every type of skin
That’s what trans used to look like
Before the rise of this
All White Trans
(With a few good exceptions)

Why should white trans
Who so revile and objectify
Who get called racists
In all kinds of places
Be any type of leader in
Elementary schools?

White trans and light trans too
supports And ignores
The harm against kids
Young people adults elders
Really a lot of people
Get attacked by trans Women rapists
or get used far too poorly by a T boi
Got whole trans hacker armies
Trolling and bullying folks online
Must be that good ol' Gen Z equality!

They wanna insist trans people can’t prey
Well they can and they have on me
And my friends, and young people
I sought to protect
And they weren’t all white predators
But in the end its a white trans
World that insists
Trans harm isn’t real
To hold firm in their belief that
They perfectly exist

Nah you racist ducks
You absolutely suck
And take a long hard look
At all your light trans
And white trans friends
Not to mention your 2-4 Black friends
And remember The Transgriot is dead
But Faith Cheltenham is laughing
At you alive and well!

White and light trans
And your performance and your tokens
And your panels paying white folks $8k
while you pay Black people $100

White trans
Where we differ so very greatly
Is I insist that we allow privacy
Be priority and key
Whether that’s a focus on gender neutral bathrooms
Or respect for peoples Bibles leading them thru

That’s a big difference between me and you
My faith carries me and forms a basis
for the Love I have for those
who say they detest my creation
I believe I will see them in heaven
just like I’ll see Anyone who truly loves God
and works Toward his law
and darlings I think they’ll
Be fine when He shows up sparkling

Darling we’ll all be fine
when He shows Up sparkling!

Until then, white trans I hold up my hand
Against you and your wave
Of ire and toxicity
I insist to you there is another way
Till then I’ve done #walkedaway
And stand firm as a Patriot
Devoted to the protection
Of parents rights to teach kids
What they perceive is best

For I can think of no worse attempt
To destroy child safety
Harmony support and security
Than kids not talking to their parents
The ones who brought them to this world

And yet I understand your misconception as
Many trans folks ourselves had parents
We couldn’t trust
And were so terribly abused
(raises both hands)
But our lives 20, 30, 40 years ago
Is not the life of my kid now
These days churches are LGBT accepting
These days people are more respectful
These days people care more
(We worked hard for it and how many died for it?)
And it’s time white trans
Pulled up on that too

Until then this is
A virtual race card for all them
Moms of Liberty
To use and use well
I’m a Black trans intersex mom
Who supports common sense
And Kindness first
So why would I allow the
White trans to lead me
Anywhere? When white trans led groups
Been protested for years for being
Racist, anti-Black, sexist, and weird?

No, thank you.
Much rather be a joyful warrior.
I prefer to teach Black experience
To my son personally, thanks
I’d rather You. Really. Not.
Since as I mentioned before
I’m his parent.

While trans orgs are picking fights with
Moms and dads
They aren’t looking out for anyone but them
When trans groups are hiding
Countless stealth kids who no one
Realizes were assigned a different gender
I fear a serious setup for them kids

That’s what the bathroom wars are hiding
And what parents are being concerned about
How much do we not know?
How much has been hidden from us?
Because simply, we are parents?

Having kids didn’t remove
Half our heads
And it’s long past time
More trans parents
(and parents of gender different kids)
Said enough to all of this!
What matters first and Always
Is kids and people’s safety.

That’s where we started
But now you know
We being led along
Alone by white trans
And people who attack women
for wanting Women spaces,
Well, to me that just don’t make much sense
JK has said I exist, but she wants
To live her life differently
White trans attacks Ms. Rowling even still
Bringing death threats to her house
Where she lives with her kids
But based on her clarification?
I applaud her and that kinda growth.

I’m so old tho
And I can’t forget anything
Specially when Sylvia Rivera died
Because I was trying
to get her again on the line
But then I seen they started a
Whole law project in her name
Without her people’s permission
Without anything but her name
Stripped from her
but what could Anyone do
against the mighty mighty
White trans?

Ain’t so mighty
When I call upon Jesus name
To shake down the walls of white trans
And let some people more than light skinned in
Calling upon the Lord to shake them walls
And let the girls stop working streets
While trans groups use money to feed
Panelists, nearly all white and light, to discuss
The lives of these same Black trans women
Cause to white trans
(I do hope you notice)
Black trans men and Black nonbinary people
Aren’t ever quite worthy of mention.

But the Lord God sees all
and welcomes Everyone without regard
so I’ll Try to have forgiveness
in my heart for white trans
They don't know what they do.
Really.
