I am transcending

I am transcending.

And flying like a butterfly.

I am not a chameleon, like many

I am not transgressing like many

I am not trespassing like many

I am what I am.

I love my trans soul.

Like I love my trans body.

I am truthful to myself.

Unlike so many souls and bodies

I am what I am today.

It's me, if there is any unity in freedom and liberty.

It's me, if there is any unity in truth, and the only truth

Love me for being me.

Love conquers hate.

Hate has no place in our being.

Being a human

Humans are humane.

Said our liberal philosophers

Isaiah Berlin and John Rawls

I love you for loving me.

I love you for hating me.
