Ask any queer sibling what is the one thing they’re accused of their entire life and the answer will always be the same…
It’s just a phase.
A fifteen year old comes out to her parents after months of preparing,
She tells them the doctor made a mistake,
The gender and her sex don’t align,
She was finally in the right state of mind.
And what message do you think they delivered unto her…
It’s just a phase.
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
A nineteen year old overhears someone claiming demisexual doesn’t exist,
She defends her sexuality,
They tell her she is just confused,
It’s just a phase.
A nineteen year old comes out as gender fluid and wishes to have their name and pronouns respected.
Assholes claim that they are just jumping on the trend of the week.
Their claim:
It’s just a phase.
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
A sixteen year old comes out as genderqueer and asks for correct pronouns,
His mother refuses because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and…
It’s just a phase
A sixteen year old comes out as trans* and his dad respects him completely,
But behind his back states he’s never shown ‘signs’
His claim…
It’s just a phase.
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
It’s just a phase
Just a phase?
Anyone who makes such a claim is a complete and total douche nozzle,
Their existence is just a phase,
Maybe their bigoted views are just a phase.
Just a phase
Just a phase
Just a phase
While everything may be just a phase,
Their opinions need to be respected,
So they can survive this phase unharmed.
Just a phase
Just a phase
Just a phase.
If you are feeling invalidated or disrespected,
Please remember there is light at the end of the tunnel,
You will be safe one day,
You are not a phase.
You aren’t a phase
You aren’t a phase
You aren’t a phase
NOT. A. PHASE
