Ana. Children's poetry for reflection

Transsexuality is not only a condition that affects adults, there are children who feel that the sexual identity they were born with does not correspond with the one they feel or want to live. Transsexuality is a topic that generates controversy and debate in society, but to help treat it correctly

Transsexuality is not only a condition that affects adults, there are children who feel that the sexual identity they were born with does not correspond with the one they feel or want to live.

Transsexuality is a topic that generates controversy and debate in society, but to help treat it correctly and without causing harm to anyone, Marisa Alonso Santamaría has created a poem that will make children and adults think.

Ana. Short poem about transsexuality in childhood

When she was born, she was called Ana

because a girl was born,

she was combed with pigtails

she was dressed with a skirt.

They took her to school

and when she started to grow,

the mirror reflected

what she never wanted to be.

Why is nature sometimes so cruel?
