the one you thought you knew until you couldn't

he was nice

he was smart

 the friends say

 

 

what a great young man

he had a great future

the obituaries say

 

obviously you didn’t know the ‘man’ behind the curtain

 

only a select few really knew

the woman behind the curtain

trans lives dont seem to matter

until they're no longer living
