Don’t Look Now

Don’t Look Now, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

Do you remember
The mass exodus
When Tula bared all
In Playboy Magazine?

Do you remember
Caroline Cossey
Was on screen poolside silent
In “For Your Eyes Only”?

Do you remember
When Gopher found out
Rachael was also Ray
Back in their college days

In ancient Greek plays
The women
Were played by men
It didn’t bother you then

When you pick on Zooey
You are are the bully
Your ignorance is fully
Of your own insecurity

Trans
Are no harm to you
While bullies
Are never through

The sane
Know what to do
Your hate is not our kin
Your rot will never win

And Caitlyn
You baffle me
I really cannot see
Voting for the GOP.

The field of psychiatry
And the AMA
All of them will say
Transgender is ok.
(end)

“Tula” also known as “Caroline Cossey” was a transgender in real life who posed for Playboy and had a extra roll in the James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only” . She was also in Playboy which did not cause a mass exodus of Playboy fans.

And the original Love Boat, Season 5 episode 10 McKenzie Phillips played a transgender character in which Gopher found out she was his former roommate in college.

And in antiquity it was quite common for men to play all the roles of an ancient Greek play, including female roles.

But in real life transgender people going from male to female or female to male, face horrible discrimination and assaults and have a higher rate of depression and suicide because of the stigma.

I am not LGBTQ myself, nor can I understand the rejection of society and abuse and attacks they face every single day. But I was bullied as a kid for other reasons. I hate bullies. LGBTQ don’t want special rights. They won’t barbecue your kittens nor are they going to indoctrinate your kids. They are no different than you or I, they just want to be happy.

I do have to also make it clear, there is a huge difference between a Drag Queen, gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, transexual. All of those are different categories.
