Gift of self

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

Always was Gay,

Luther College Decorah Iowa,

Still in 2015,

Gender studies taught,

Gay & Lesbian taught choice,

Transexuals  still seen as incorrect,

Yet Non Binary and Bi sexual sern differently,

Gay and Lesbians fought for right to be seen,

I knew from six, I loved women,

In my dreams I rated who I loved,

Took me until I was forty to own me,

Coming out was my gift to me,

At Luther College one of first Iowa college to have a Pride group in name only,

Met Wednesday night eight thirty in upstairs room in Union

We were like retarded southern children a hundred years ago,

Kept far from view,

Wasn’t allowed holding hands or kissing,

Carl we will call him Carl,

Was in the US Navy,

Left service to be who he was,

Carl a young man in a girls body,

Who he was suppose to be,

Wanted to be in the young mans dorm,

Luther roomed him with another girl in women’s dorm,

Carl left Luther,

I’m  who I always was I’m a soft butch lesbian,

Some ass woman once said to another,

All lesbians are transgendered,

Fuck that!

I’m 200% female,

I came out for me,

Instantaneous became a tool of my older sister’s hate,

Just from owning who I was ,
