To the Person Who Said I Didn’t Look Trans Enough


Issue No.6
Should I explode like a transformer, transduce spine into transmission lines, 
            humblebrag transgressions done against this transient home?
Should I transfigure into Voltes V, translocate limbs into transhuman shapes 
            mess with my gene’s transcription, transmute each organic
            molecule into transistors, translate violence into trances?
Should I transfuse gender into my veins, transplant trafficked organs, 
            show my solutions: transposition of derived formulas?
Should I perform an audit of transactions, ORs of all
            I’ve transported with these knees and joints through life’s transits?
Should I transcend before you into rapture, tear out what transfixes you—
            become translucent, or let light in completely, transparent?
