will bearded lady sing?

This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case about transgender men in women’s sports but the lawyer could not define a woman legally. In a Senate hearing on abortion rights, a senator questioned a female doctor if men can get pregnant and she could not answer yes or no.


beauty in diversity exists;
does not require extremism

but confusion and chaos
reign in rainbow la la land

where scientists cannot
define a man or woman;

logic is left lying in dust,
basic biology debunked.

gender?? pretend it’s fluid
while culture drowns in

silly sea of semantics;
riptides of asexual revolt.

denying reality doesn’t
make dreams materialize

confused youth deserve
compassion, not reasons

for mutilation; tell us why
“trans” suicide rate is high?


Linking to OLN with dVerse poets were Lillian hosts with ekphrastic prompt. Painting entitled “Mme Kupka among Verticals” by Frantisek Kupka, 1910-11.

I find the online stories of detransitioners like Chloe Cole, Christina Hineman, Prisha Mosley, and Lex Renick very compelling.
