Lines written on seeing yet another public figure who regularly incites hatred against trans people defend yet another known sex offender working in yet another supposedly progressive profession

Must be one of those 'y' days,

those wonder why days,

those xxy days 

those will my ass still be here in '25 days

because these days I'm navigating 

through a hatescape, where papers 

never-endingly assign blame the way

a tired nurse looked at me and assumed

I was the same as every other child she

hastily assigned male, so without fail

the Daily Mail will endlessly exhale a

gale of bile and vile insinuation.

And it gets, let me be frank, a little wearing.

And don't think I haven't noticed that you're staring.
