“You are _so sure_”
You are _so sure_
Just like the leftists
who were _so sure_
that migrants and refugees are
feckless thieves
of white worker's jobs and pay
who were _so sure_
that critics of Comrade Stalin are
bourgeois lackeys
spreading misinformation and lies
who were _so sure_
that queers are
biologically unnatural
products of capitalism
who are _so sure_
that trans women are
queerphobic men
colonising womanhood
who are _so sure_
that kinky women are
broken women
eroticising self-oppression
who are _so sure_
that sex workers are
voiceless dupes
needing white saviours
Who are you now silencing
because you are _so sure_
their voices need not be heard?
