The Other Turf
(The white men is the one that drives the bus to his finishing line)
But here's the other side
Some of you have taken over the drive
That's on the far right
Where most of you are white
But you have something in common
With those who you view as problems
You both are scared of men
So you should both stand together against them
And the decent ones will fight too
Alongside you
No one can see what I do
I see how a man has got you distracted
So you're expecting
A trans person
To do the hurting
While women are arguing over birthing
The real threat is causing death
The real issue is raping you
The real problem is giving out coffins
But you can't see the bigger picture when you don't hold the camera
You don't see the hammer that's coming down
You don't see the death that is coming now
Death is slowly creeping into the reflections of your mirror
But you've been blinded
But your biggest fear is feeling inferior
And unfortunately you've sided
with the ones that made you feel that way
So now heroes are looking at the villains to help
But soon all they will have to look at is themselves
On the other side of the turf
Everyone is being hurt
Except for the one to blame
But yet, we all need to be saved
Everything is changing
We're entering into strange land
You say the world has turned into a deranged mess
And that you don't want to accept this "mess"
You're just not ready yet
So you resort to pettiness
Labelling everything as sexist when
That just takes away from the actual definition
Just say you're transphobic and own it, don't blame other conditions
If only you would listen
Instead of just talking, talking down on women
You are what you accuse others of, but you're not seeing this, if
You're not understanding, you're never going to get it
There's no such thing as a white feminist, just a white supremacist
Criticizing transphobic and racist women doesn't make me sexist
But again if you don't understand, you're never going to get it
There's a double standard that has entered
You're scared you'll be cancelled for saying something about trans people while being their critic
I'm scared I'll get cancelled for calling out white feminism
I'm scared I'll be labelled as sexist
When I'm trying to stick up for women
But apparently it's turned into a competition
Everyone is figuring out who has more right to be offended
While using that as insult in every sentence
Everyone has sore eyes in this prison
We're all getting defensive
Being transphobic than saying criticism of that is sexist
Everyone wants everyone to support their decisions
And opinions
But they never support anyone in return or even try to listen
Now you're both at fault but yet you both play victim
And I know everyone can have their opinions
But the fact is
None of this matters
When we're all at the bottom of the ladder
So no one has the high horse
When there's a hierarchy on the white board
There's more important things at play
Women of colour are struggling every day
Turkish women have lost a home to stay in
They're no longer safe
When expecting raping
Islamic women are getting killed just for leaving their house
And Ukrainian women aren't safe regardless of where they stay now
And I know you don't like being called cis
And I know we can stop all this
Sexim and struggle
But first
We need to put the house fires out
Before focusing on the whole street
That's something I desire now
That's how my soul speaks
I want to help all women
And that's including trans
I want to be lifting
Up every single woman
Yes, I'm wanting
To save every woman
But the problem is I can't do it at the same time
We need to focus on all those who are starting to die
We need to save their lives
We need to now be speaking out
Spread awareness
Show we're the best at caring
I want to stand with those who need
Which is both sides of the beam
Worst part is, both sides are oppressing each other
The trans folks oppress women when they say they're not mothers
And women oppress the trans when they say the trans aren't real, see
I am also guilty
In fact, we all are
But we should all learn to do better in order to stop this war
Not everything is black and white
But if we all open up our minds and eyes
Then we will have sight
On things we were once blind to
And I want to see all of you
I want to recognize all souls
But I know
Not everything is binary
But everyone is on ground zero
But everyone is living in irony
We're all villains playing heroes
On the other side of the turf
Everyone is being hurt
Except for the one to blame
But yet, we all need to be saved
Nowadays there's a switching
Of definitions
But no one truly knows what cis is
But either way, it's deemed offensive
And if someone does want to be called, something different
We should call them the word or term they prefer once they confirm their feelings here
We shouldn't be the ones to be killing them
When they're all my religion
Yes, you're all so gifted
And I know you feel like people are trying to take your birthed gift
When they're trying to reword it
You think that's downplaying
And I understand why you feel that way when
People keep trying to take away what you had to fight for
They made your eyes sore
So now you are cautious
And I don't blame you when what you've been through is atrocious
Now, In a few years this will all probably be forgotten
But until then, I'm listening to every goddess
Truly understanding the problems
Without trying to step on any women's toes
But I do want to put respect on all of you though
You had my back when I had nowhere to go
You helped me realise the truth in my soul
And I know you've had to fight for your home
I understand why you feel the way you do
I would be skeptical too
If I was a part of your beautiful group
Especially after all the fighting you've been doing your whole life
And you don't know when there's going to be another attack
So when someone is critical you go into defensive mode, right?
Especially when you're labelled as something you view as bad
I want to stand with both sides
Even though both sides are the ones that fight
I want to recognize the fight you both are in
Before any more wars are starting
Now I do have to admit, some of this has gone a bit too far
Which is why there's a fight during a world wide war
There's a difference
Between sex and gender
So why am I starting to witness
People overstep with gender
It's not fair to take away from women
We need to respect that gender
We've been fighting for gender identity
So women should also have that right when they too are on the scene
And why are going backwards
We've been fighting against those stereotypes
So why are we adding to them in this fight
It seems we've reset the passwords
But why did we change the music?
Being inclusive isn't being exclusive
Who's going to tell them
That they don't have to kick the women out to let themselves in
But if we're erasing biology, what's the point of being trans
What's the point of being anything without women?
Now I don't think it's actually trans people doing this
Because why would they erase everything they fought for
I think the leader of this new so called trans movement is
The men who started this war
On the other side of the turf
Everyone is being hurt
Except for the one to blame
But yet, we all need to be saved
You're all in the same boat
And in order to stay float
You need to stop poking holes
In each others throats
On the other side of the turf
Everyone is being hurt
Except for the one to blame
But yet, we all need to be saved
I'm not trying to tear women or mothers down
Because I will always hold you all in high regard
But I don't want to see you tearing each other down
When life for you all is already hard
Now there is one way to end this all
And there has been since this begun
Before this war was even beginning
You all need to stand tall
But you need to stand together as one
And recognize you're all women
But here's the other side
Some of you have taken over the drive
That's on the far right
Where most of you are white
