Stop using me as an excuse To make them feel disrespected Don't tell me what I'm feeling Just becuase you think I'm neglected You say that "Now she knows What it's like from your point if view" But may I please ask What does this have to do with you Stop telling them that they are a sinner Becuase to understanding you are a begginer They live life as best they can So what if they want to be a man Just because they have Changed their birth name Doesn't give you reason to ignore the challenges they overcame Your say you love them But I find that has to believe You may be old and wise But you are still so naive You wanted to change them back But what's done is done You may have lost a granddaughter But you gained a grandson

Narrowminded Grandperants
Stop using me as an excuse To make them feel disrespected Don't tell me what I'm feeling Just becuase you think I'm neglected You say that "Now she knows What it's like from your point if view" But may I please ask What does this have to do with you Stop telling them that they are a sinner Becuase to understanding you are a begginer They live life as best they can So what if they want to be a man Just because they have Changed their birth name Doesn't give you reason to ignore the challenges they overcame Your say you love them But I find that has to believe You may be old and wise But you are still so naive You wanted to change them back But what's done is done You may have lost a granddaughter But you gained a grandson
Not long a ago my brother (use to be sister) came out as transgender. This was not taken well by some of the family, especially my grandperants, who now use ever chance they get to make them feel rejected. I find it so unfair that anyone gets treated like this for just being themselves. Everyone (especially my grandperants) neeed to be more open minded and just accept people for who thay are no mater of gender, sexuality, race, religion or age.
