I think I'm lucky
Sometimes
Not that I am a woman
But that I can pass as a man
I'm tall enough
Curveless enough
With a flattened chest
And short gelled hair
I'm the closest thing to safe
In the streets
As a woman can be

I wish I could say the same for my friends
With all the violence against women, I'm lucky to be the way I am. Maybe I don't have the "ideal female body" according to the media and all that *******, but I'd say this is pretty ideal for not getting kidnapped and *****. A lot of my female friends are really short and feminine, and I get really worried about them sometimes. I hope they feel safer with me.
