Norm!
when
you
walk
in
the
room
we
call
you
celebrate
your
arrival
known
seen
our
names
need
speaking
no one
thinks
sees
hears
processes
moves
envisions
creates
like
you
this
makes
you
magnificent
anyone
who
refuses
rejects
ridicules
your
name
your
ways
your
pronouns
your
mind
your
knowing
only
sees
what
makes
them
feel
safe
which
is
to
say
their
world
will
forever
stay
small
how
very
sad
a
way
to
live
