Slam Poetry - Two Genders

[EchelonHunt]

This was made as a response to a very problematic YouTube video created by two cis-women, one of them being a lesbian who is a self-proclaimed LGBTQ+ ally, in which they identity-police non-binary folks and use their "I have a transgender friend and they agree with me" as support for their close-minded views.

It's headache-inducing so I do not recommend watching the video.



You admit there are multiple gender expressions,
Multiple sexual orientations,
So why question

The legitimacy of there being
more than two genders?



Tell me, why, oh why, do you drive this insanity?

This ridiculing and eradication of those outside the binary?
Why, oh why, can’t you see?

That gender is more than being A or B?



No, no, please,
Spare me your hypocrisy
and your imaginary front of being a supportive ally

Ever heard of “Talk shit, 

Get hit”?

We exist,
We are real,
We are more than your ideals.

You say there are only two genders,
and use penis and vagina as two examples,
never mind the existence of intersex people

Take what you claim your “scientific facts”
and shove ‘em up your ass.

There are multiple gender expressions,
multiple sexual orientations,
there are more than two sexes,
it makes sense that there are more than two genders.

And yes, I'm aware this poetry is very aggressive in its tone. I'm not very articulate with my words.

Here is one person who put my thoughts into much better words and made a better impact!

I really like your poem! Also, I don't think it is too aggressive because in slam poetry it's suppose to have a more aggressive in your face fuck you oppressors mic drop feel, and you certainly hit that *mic drop* moment! Loud, abrasive, radical, uncomfortable, and being blunt to point of making people stop & rethink about issues & realize where they been problematic is the whole point of slam poetry. And yours was really good, Jacey!
