Although
Have the legal right
To enter and use
A woman's washroom
In Ontario.
It's one
Am leery
To use.
Fearful
Of a transphobic
Reaction
By the other users.
Even though
No one has
Ever complained
About me
Doing so.
And yet
The fear
Remains.
As for
Those transphobic bigots
Who bring up
The old red herring
Of us
Being sexual voyeurs.
Seeking
A cheap frill
For seeing exposed
Women and children.
To them
I say:
"Get
A
Fucking
Life
Losers."
Loves
All of the perverts
Who been caught
Are cis-males.
And I
Repeat.
Am
Not one.
Just
A pre-op
Trans-woman
Finding her.
Not one.
Just
A pre-op
Trans-woman
Finding her.
My only request
To you.
Could you
In the future
Please be
More creative
In your transphobic
Opposition?
Am
So tired
And bored
Of your current
Standard lines.

The following link, is from Yahoo! Canada, and the series of daily articles, on Canada's LGBT+ community and the issues that we're facing. Here, are the past two day articles:
