["ROGD" stands for "rapid onset gender dysphoria"]

ROGD spreads like leprosy.
This social contagion, this fatal disease,
which forces parents to their knees
to plead for sound philosophy,
to challenge pharmacology’s
fake panacea “therapy”
that causes harm irreparably.
I’m heartened poor Hippocrates
did not live on for centuries
to witness evil tragedies
where souls are sold for golden greed
and loving hearts of every creed
are threatened, shamed, and told that we
are toxic, transphobe families
who don’t care for the least of these,
who, dragged away, are promised peace
and stripped of personalities.
Their minds are filled with fitful dreams,
death’s lust for virgins to appease.
