Cis Men Aren’t Funny


Make us the butt of the joke

Point and laugh at human reactions

We joke about you

You kill us in the streets

Hundreds buried a year

Point and laugh at the blood on your hands

Joke about going to a women's prison

Raping them

Beating them 

Point and laugh at the reality you create

Call us snowflakes as we ask for respect

Kick us down as we plead

41%

Point and laugh at flowers picked too soon

Never getting to flourish

Trans lives are not a joke

And cis men aren't funny
