    'I'll never be the man I'm supposed to be, but she never felt right to me.'

    This feels like they're talking to me. I know they aren't, but this poem feels like they are. Dia Davina is incredible.

    Thank you for this poem. "Some days, a dress was a piece of barbed wire" That was my life every day. Being an FtM trans man and being 16. I was so young when I realised but never did anything about it. It killed me. Almost literally

    that's so true I'm a FTM trans working on getting my parents to accept me, before they had me or knew what gender id be at birth they didn't care... idk why they care now....

    Best poem I've ever heard in my life. More trans kids have to see this, more PEOPLE have to see this.

    Pretty sure i met Dia in person in May... I'm a FTM dude and I'm lucky enough to have support from my family. But I wish more guys could have the same support. I love this poem so much.

    It makes me angry that there are so many people who still don't understand the issues presented in this poem.

    I HATE the snapping instead of clapping, that's such an SJW thing, but I can agree with most of the message in this guy's poetry.

    I'm sorry I just can't stand the stupid finger snaps from the audience. So bloody annoying and distracting.
