Body that expresses feelings

On the look that has the capacity to love and forgive

To forgive the discrimination suffered

Because knows that diversity is part of life.

 

Body that speaks of love, passion,

The denomination given to it is not a question,

Who fights without asking for anything:

Just wants respect from society.

 

Body that realises that people

Has discrimination against it.

They name everything, this or that

For him, for her.

Failing to see in this body

All that is beautiful.

 

Be yourself,

In the space in which you are.

It does not matter if it's a man or a woman.

It's your decision,

No matter the age.

Prejudice must be gone

This must be done

In the countryside or in the city.

 

Do not be shy,

Be hardy,

You have the right to choose.

The colour of the clothes or the toy you want to have

The gender you want to belong to.
