The song 'Trans'

This is a song Thistle wrote and recorded six years ago when she was first connecting the dots about transgender ideology. Lyrics 'Trans' is a liberal construct invented by white straight men that shuts down our discussions of their violent power and then they 'win' Violent power begins with man over woman and then it all spins off from there into this postmodern racist sexist nightmare... What would be the opposite if 'trans' was real? ('cis, 'cis) Only those seduced by power expect the whole world to be a personal deal! Who make it their standard, only personal word their proof, to be the center of everything! While the earth chokes and dies of their spoof...their spoof! The joke's on you, there are better things to do and in the meantime, we are igniting, yes in the meantime we are uniting... The distance between us seems greater than the sum of the parts. My heart is beating while the oxygen is depleting it's way too hard! To be hopeful for the future, for humanity, my greattest hope is that me and my friends go out with dignity from this postmodern racist sexist nightmare, this postmodern racist sexist nightmare...awooo!
