"Come Over Again - CRAWLERS"
I always have a song in my head, and there are a few that loop every now and again. I used to share this with friends, but as it goes, I felt I was being annoying. Not every song is digestible to my wide array of amigos.
Take her name out of your mouth
You don't deserve to mourn
You just love the attention
Or do you get bored?

When I hear these lyrics, I think of the family members who lament the fact that I am a beautiful girl who is destroying her body.
Take her name out of your mouth - stop using my birth name
You don't deserve to mourn - I am not dead, please celebrate my new life
You just love the attention - why is it such a big deal to use my preferred pronouns, name, and clothing?
Or do you get bored? - is life so simple for you now that this causes the most distress?
I know this [me learning to love myself] is a new thing to them, they didn't expect or even want this to happen. Luckily my sibling is living the picture perfect life of the traditional family, so I don't have to.
