A Love Letter To My Broad Shoulders and The Broad Shoulders of All Trans Women

My shoulders are man shoulders?

My shoulders are the foundations of a loving home that I carry on my back everywhere that I go, it is a home filled with all the care and gentleness the world never gave us but that we radiate out to anyone who touches us and sometimes that gets a little heavy

They are pillows for my friends holy gentle heads to rest on when the world weighs too heavily on them and they can't support themselves alone anymore, but my broad shoulders can

My shoulders aren't too broad for a girl. My shoulders are broad because I am a girl but
I'm a girl like I'm a home,
I'm a girl like I'm a revolution,
I'm a girl like I'm a bonfire,
I'm a girl with worlds to carry,
And a girl like me needs shoulders broad enough to hold the sun and moon in the sky

So no my shoulders aren't man shoulders my shoulders are the shoulders of the women who carried their communities on their backs even when their communities didn't always have their back,

My shoulders are the shoulders of brick throwers, world changers, cycle breakers, and god's favorite lovers.

So no my shoulders aren't too broad for a girl they are just broad enough to carry us into a softer world
