Thank you soooo much for this. I'm on campus right now doing my best to both validate the fears of my trans students and also remind them that there is a history of resistance that can give us hope. Really appreciate you and this. <3 Bookmarking this to return to....

We're trans women, hear us roar,
In numbers too big to ignore,
Standing proudly here with enbies and trans men!
'Cause we've seen it all before,
Siblings gunned down on the floor!
No one's ever going to beat us down again!
Yes, we are wise,
And this wisdom's born of pain!
Yes, we've paid the price,
But look how much we've gained!
If we have to, we can learn anything!
We are strong (STRONG!)
We are invincible (INVINCIBLE!)
We're transgender!
You can bend, but never break, us,
'Cause it only serves to make us
More determined to assert our dignity!
And we've come back even stronger,
We're no hatchlings any longer!
We've ignited our convictions, SET US FREE!
Yes, we are wise,
And this wisdom's born of pain!
Yes, we've paid the price,
But look how much we've gained!
If we have to, we can do anything!
We are strong (STRONG!)
We are invincible (INVINCIBLE!)
We're transgender!!!
We're trans people, watch us grow,
See us standing toe to toe,
As we spread our loving arms across the land!
But we're still all embryos,
Such a long long way to go,
Until we help some others understand!
Oh, yes, we are wise,
And this wisdom's born of pain!
Yes, we've paid the price,
But look how much we've gained!
If we have to, we can face anything!
We are strong (STRONG!)
We are invincible (INVINCIBLE!)
We're transgender!!!
TRANS IS BEAUTIFUL!
