A Study of Gender

Let's start with an introduction
Hi, my name is Elliot
but you can call me Eli
And I'm the coolest trans boy you've ever met
Over the summer
I went to rehab
It was very nice there
That's when I solidified my gender
I finally pinpointed who I am
After three long years of floating
I am no longer genderfluid
I'm the coolest trans boy you'll ever meet

Now, back to the main topic
Gender identification for who you are will always be struggle
I'm scheduled for breast reduction this summer
Not quite top surgery but it will be close enough
I'm still terrified though
What if this is just a phase like my father says?
I shouldn't believe a word he says
I know better
I will always be asking that question

I have come to realize that when I'm the happiest is when people solidify that I am a boy
Using he/him pronouns
Calling me "my bro" or "my dude"
My older friends calling me "my son" is my favorite

It will be a long time before people will see me as a boy though
For now I will continue to wear baggy clothes and sweatshirts
For now I will continue to gently correct people who use the wrong pronouns
Someday I will be exactly how I want to look and be
And I look forward to it
