It’s not a disease
With apologies to Matchbox 20
Some say it's a mistake
But I got tired of the heartbreak
But I had to let Todd go
Cause he was just a show
Being trans was a pain
Even on my good days
It was scary, I’m sure you know
But I had to let him go
I had to turn me over
Had to say I tried,
No longer hold Dorothy down
Had to be a girl
Or it would break my heart
It’s not a disease
A girl deep inside me
Always felt uneasy baby
I needed to live true
What else was I supposed to do about it
Don’t need to keep your distance from it
You got to listen to me
It’s not a disease
You might think I’m a mess
Wanting to go around in a nice dress
But Dorothy was a fire
And every day I burned
No it's not that tragic
Being me it feels like magic
Being a girl
Now I can breathe
No it’s not a disease
A girl deep inside of me
Always felt uneasy baby
I found a way to live true
What else could I do about it
Don’t need to keep your distance from it
You got to listen to me
It’s not a disease
Some think that I’m sick
But if you would just take the time to listen to me
Being Dorothy is freedom honey
Don’t you see I’m better honey
Listen to this song
I’m telling you it’s not that wrong
I have no disease
No it’s not a disease
I’m free to be me
And it's not a disease.
Comments
If it had been a disease
would that have entitled to sick-leave?
"boss, I can't come in today, I'm suffering from dysphoria"
"well, take two dresses, and we'll see you in the morning!"

I needed to live true
What else was I supposed to do.

what a long strange trip its been."
huggles back, hon
the line "what else was I supposed to do" having any resemblance to a question I asked myself more than once might be intentional.
