Poem: Our Sisterhood Evolves

OUR SISTERHOOD EVOLVES

There's a big game playing out

On keyboards and in news

Transwomen playing girls sports

How polarized our views

The claim that's made is that

We don't respect biology

Furthermore, they say science

Is something that we flee

Transwomen are used to this

Our bodies scrutinized

By the same kinds of people

Who openly despise

This entire subject should

Be handled carefully

A nuanced understanding of

Hormones n' bone density

It's needed when considering

If on the field of play

Trans and Cis women compete

Should legislation stay?

Arguing that competing

Sets women's rights amiss

Parents worried daughters

Scholarships will be at risk

Labeling those Transgirls as

Just men wearing a dress

Brings discrimination and

Bigotry into this mess

All these things have merit

And should surely see debate

Decisions should respect us all

And not be based on hate

When endocrine systems align

And muscles even out

All women should get to play

There's no reason to pout

When we stop testosterone

And time gets factored in

We don't dominate the court

It's a baseless chagrin

Inclusiveness in sport is good

Benefits ALL of us

We can lift each other up

Not throw under the bus

Transgirls playing Women's Sport

A problem we must solve

Let's reinforce diversity

As our sisterhood evolves!
