Look at that kid over there

What do you see?

Long hair, and feminine voice

Wearing that dress, not by choice

But look between the lines

What do you see now?

A binder and a bracelet with he/him pronouns

He is a boy and that's all that's there

Let him be who he is, don't stop and stare

The world deceives us, forcing pink and blue on us

But look between the lines, and then there's more of us

There's more to this earth than meets the eye

Don't tell us that we need to hide

We are part of this world, and we are important

Reminders that sometimes we're born into a disguise

Look at that kid over there

What do you see?

A kid

A kid is all that's there

Don't traumatize him because he figured out the truth, it isn't fair

But look between the lines

What do you see now?

A community of people, just enjoying life and the progress we've made now
