No dog will scare me into being a boy
I'll give the dog girl germs, call-me-Roy

It's about a Trans boy, so it wouldn't apply to you anyway so don't worry okay? Like clearly he was like mega in the closet. But Call-Me-Roy helped him out of it. I think it's cute.
If this mischievous spirit came to you, she'd be all "Call me Dot"
I know who I am, I am me, and I like me ^^
Transgender, Gamer, Little, Princess, Therian and proud :D
I would never...
I would never be a bot.
I would not, Ms. Call-Me-Dot.

Oh call-me-Roy
Oh Call-Me-Roy, I must confess,
A puppy's bark won't mess my dress,
In all the years I've been around,
Not one dog has put me down,
In fact the beasties love me so,
That to my hand their bellies show.
So if you think a boy I'll be,
Best think again, 'cause then you'll see,
despite the efforts of your ploy,
I'd rather be a girl than boy.
This is
This is pretty cute. A nice little poem in the closet trans boys can relate to I thinkn. I'm not a trans boy, but a Trans woman but if I were to reverse it I could see it working out.
I know who I am, I am me, and I like me ^^
