Summary: This poem from Brave New Voices is performed by two young women from Philadelphia. The poem is useful for introducing students to discussions of transgenderism, as well as for talking about the ways in which language constructs our social experiences (the term "hir" is the gender-neutral pronoun that replaces either "her" or "his").
