THIS IS AMAZING!! my friend and I are doing this poem at a Catholic high school in northern, PA! this has inspired many of the young individuals that we have preformed this to!!!!!! THANKS!
This poem is beyond incredible! As a person who hide who I am from the world because I doubted anyone would love that I completely understand the metaphors. Incredible talent!
Omg I cried...this poem is just amazing...I'm not trans but growing up I could never understand why I had to sunscribe to the gender norms society seems to enforce. I was always the girl that didn't understand why she had to wear a skirt, would play in the mud and dirt collecting pet bugs and wear my brother's clothes.This was just beautiful....:')
Man! This is fucked... Not in a bad way, I LOVE THIS! Man, I know if you look at me, you'll think Im a guy, but I know I'm a girl. I feel like a girl. I know I am a girl in a girls body. People just assume Im a guy because of all my insecurities. :( I hate myself.
@AdVitam21 Even if what you are saying is true, I think that it's good to look at the poem in positive regard because it's a step in the right direction. They may not be transgendered but they had to try and gather what it might feel like in the american society possibly others to get the message across. & it's always cool to try & speak up in hopes that at least one person might listen.
@AdVitam21 you don't have to neccesarily understand or to have that experiece to write something that inspires another..does it really matter why they wrote it.. they just happened to kill two birds with one stone they got points and also inspired people who are Malissa's.. I support it cause it was beautifully written... Great poem..!
James/Malissa was born James; Malissa on the outside. Always wanting to be James but always thought of as Malissa.
Really really great work. I love how I really have to watch it twice and pay attention to grasp how intense it is. Truely amazing. I loved every moment of it. Wonderful job.
I don't understand this. Is James queergender, or an ftm? Because a queergender person would use the gender neutral pronouns like hir and ze, but if Melissa is James, then wouldn't that bring out the masculinity of a female-to-male?
Meh. I think the thought behind the poem was good, but I do have some problems with it. If you have someone, a female-bodied individual who identifies socially, in public, as male, (transgendered), that person is not going to want people to use gender neutral pronouns for them. (ze/hir) Having someone use gender neutral pronouns when that person is trying their hardest to blend in with cisgendered males, is insulting, and means that people don't validate their masculinity.
@sk8indel13 Yeah you know what? You do have a great point there. I kind of had a problem with that too. It made me feel for a minute like I'm just some male/felmale freak of nature almost. I have no problem with people who identify as both or neither gender, but to say that about a transman or transwoman is a little insulting. :-/ But hey other than that it was pretty cool. :D
@sk8indel13 Really?I'm not trans or anything but as someone who supports them, I like the term. What I have a problem with is the idea that they HAVE to (if they want to that's fine) be one or the other. Why are they not okay how they are( in this case female physically but male mentally? )Why does masculinity and feminity have to be determined by our anatomy? Why can it not be defined by our spirits? :)
@lecifbaby Well I suppose the biological sex is meant to reflect our gender? Like, gender is who u are, but it would also be better being in a body which goes with that, expecially with hormones and stuff. I mean, whatever GENDER u are, would u really like to be the other sex?
@bobothebearguy I can't answer that with certainty. I'd like to think that I'd be okay with the way I am though but who knows, if I were in that situation I may feel differently.
@lecifbaby I suppose ur right, it's hard to know ;) I'm not trans either, although I'm obviously fully supportive as I can't understand what people would find wrong, but yeah, u never know how u would feel :) I suppose also if they were the body of the wrong sex, like if the were a guy with a female body, they also wouldnt be allowed to do things that guys and girls can already? Like, guys might be forced into a girls bathroom because of their body, and that could just be degrading i gues....?
Meh. I think the thought behind the poem was good, but I do have some problems with it. If you have someone a female-bodied individual who identifies socially, in public, as male, (transgendered), that person is not going to want people to use gender neutral pronouns for them. (ze/hir) Having someone use gender neutral pronouns when that person is trying their hardest to blend in with cisgendered males, is insulting, and means that people don't validate their masculinity.
KILLED. IT. They absolutely KILLED. IT. The blunt and brutal delivery, the energy that they put behind this. The duality. They killed it, and it was absolutely beautiful.
@CowboiSeth Dude that was kickass! 8D How can anyone deny that we are here, and always have been throughout history? There is no way in hell that anyone can logically believe that we don't exist. This definatly isn't like a little kid who believes in the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy. I am never seen with a magic wand or a basket of colored eggs. Saying we don't exist is like believing the Holocaust never happened. That's crazy. We are legitimate people who are just trying to live our lives.
@TheSnowyice franky--an example of historical transgender people: in indonesia there's a long history of male priest who dress and act as women, not to mention the more modern example of the waria--indonesion transgender mtf, who tend to have really strong communities. also, in jakartak, there's a weekly waria v. police volleyball game. just some random facts bouncing around in my brain.
Every single day of my life this simple little poem represents a deeply ingrained reality. I live it every day. My original name is what I hear every morning. That little stab to the heart, that name uttered from the time I open my eyes and realize this cruel reality to the time I close them again. That name will continue to haunt me until I can start my life over where i'm a complete stranger in a new crowd. Only then will Franky be able to show himself. I am ftm. This is brilliant.
As the mother of a hir, I sobbed as I watched this. I know I can never truly understand what my son goes through, but this poem gives me a tiny glimpse.
I'm a MtF I've never heard this now today my friend told me to look it up. She said it made her see what we go through differently, it definitely made me cry. She hit this dead on, I would hug her if I could. I wish more people were like her.
Im a lesbian..but believe it or not ive neva met an ftm. However I do hav empathy 4 the struggle. Dis spoken word captured the essence of that struggle perfectly. Loved it!
i am transgendered and it made me so emotional although i am mtf and James is obviously ftm but in the end we as trangenders understand one another and understand all we go through male or female.
The beautiful thing about this poem is that you don't have to be transgendered to feel the emotion pouring out of it. It's a testament to the talent these two poets have.
this made me cry and im far from transgendered i could never imagine their pain and the world are a bunch of insecure assholes to make anyone not feel special!
It is radiantly evident in the sound of these brave young voices that a platform to not only express themselves, but also to be honored for the process, should make each one of us proud to be an American. Nurturing and protecting the rights of freedom to live honestly and openly needs to be at the forefront of real American conversation. Rise, share, speak out. In gratitude...it is your courage to speak with an authentic voice that will forge this country toward a more united future. Well done.
Gender identity is a huge puzzle that I'm trying to understand every day of my life. I'm cis, so I've had it easy, but I won't settle for not getting it.
This is honestly one of the most moving things i have ever seen... i cried like a child that realizes for the first time that they are not alone. thank you so much for posting this, i will be showing it to my genderqueer partner asap.
AWESOME! This..., this poem here sums up how a transgender feels,the names might be different but this is it! This shot me straight trhough the heart.
To people out there judging the transgender community, hear this: You DON"T know what it feels like to HATE yourself every second of each day for being born female instead of male (our visa versa), to want to cut off ALL the parts that are NOT yours on your body!
So until you know how that feels, DON'T talk like you know what we go through!
I've watched this 10 times already. So powerful. I'm gay and never felt like a girl. But transdered people are part of my community of outcasts. One of my close friends is Kevin. His parents called in Kate. I gave him the biggest hug after I saw this. So difficult to be trapped inside a body you don't belong in. Why can't the world just accept n embrace people for who they are n not label them? All we are reduced to is labels.
I feel so bad for the transgender community. All that hate and closemindedness, as if they didn't have it bad enough. I may not be a girly girl but my soul is definitely feminine. Being born as a boy and feeling like a girl (or vise versa, as in this case) must be absoloutely horrible.

I've watched this 10 times already. So powerful. I'm gay and never felt like a girl. But transdered people are part of my community of outcasts. One of my close friends is Kevin. His parents called in Kate. I gave him the biggest hug after I saw this. So difficult to be trapped inside a body you don't belong in. Why can't the world just accept n embrace people for who they are n not label them? All we are reduced to is labels.

I feel so bad for the transgender community. All that hate and closemindedness, as if they didn't have it bad enough. I may not be a girly girl but my soul is definitely feminine. Being born as a boy and feeling like a girl (or vise versa, as in this case) must be absoloutely horrible.
