A Visit

My daughter came to visit. With her beard, And scarred and hairy chest. With her deep voice And strange behaviour. For a week, I smiled and told her I loved her, I numbed my heart And hid my tears.
Now she has gone And I am left with a rash from her beard Which scratched me as I kissed her goodbye, And a sickness In the pit of my stomach. I spent a week loving a stranger And I am still waiting for my daughter.
Very well put. Moving.
To whom you are attracted sexually is purely subjective and therefore cannot reasonably be contested by an outside observer. Where you decide to live your life on a spectrum of superficial, stereotypical male to female attributes (and we all do) is also purely subjective and similarly cannot be questioned. However, your biological sex reflects an objective reality which cannot be changed by your subjective personal view and futile attempts to do so can result in serious health impacts to you as well as actual harms to members of the sex you are impersonating (especially women). Finally, others who are grounded in objective reality should never be forced to accept your subjective version of your actual biological sex.
