Memo to Anti-Trans Legislators

You want to choose my gender.

You think I must surrender.

It's time for you to see

You're not the boss of me.

Memo to Anti-Trans Legislators is part of the poem series Felicitations by Felicia Nimue Ackerman. Ackerman is a professor of philosophy at Brown University and has had over 200 poems published in a wide range of places.
