State-Enforced Gender

I.
 
friends are sharing DIY HRT posts
typing out – Death before Detransition –
wondering how quickly Huckabee Sanders
will declare us trans
teachers have to use words that
align(according to the State)with
our genitalia at birth
 
the pervert State that wants
to peek at
my baby self’s sex
so they can assign me a gender
i must use on the job(but not in
coffee shops not in book stores
not at home not in whatever way
i can employ malicious compliance)
 
II.
 
(a future where I tell my students
they cannot use pronouns
to refer to me)
 
(you cannot misgender me if
you do not gender me)
 
III.
 
the morning after the election
a student raises her hand –
i know this is a personal question
but you’re trans so
how do you feel –
 
i say – it will affect me – because
the others words i can’t say like –
they want to excise my degenerate
existence from their pristine
supremacist State
 
IV.
 
cross-sex hormones
cross-gender dressing
Jesus died on the cross
with a side wound
worshiped like a womb
sentenced by the State then
defied Death in His return
 
(as He was no man neither am I)
 
Arkansan followers have
fashioned their own savior
from the cheating merchants
cleansed from the Temple because
 
if Jesus were born today the State
would call Him a sissy
