“Pinocchio” by Eli Conley

My friend Eli is a pretty bad-ass trans folk artist in the bay.  This song is one of my favorites!

”I am not a real man, I’ll tell you why
It’s not the reason you are thinking of
Lean in close, I’ll share with you a secret
No one is a real man at all

Pinocchio, you are a boy
it doesn’t take no fairy blue
much less a therapist, three doctors and a knife
to cut your flesh and make you real
you are as real as dreams come true
I’m tired of tracing one straight line back through our lives…”  (transcript cont. here)
