T-E-R-F's Hate

This latest song rewrite was one I had put on the back burner until it was kicked into creative overdrive with an assist by  ENDAblog 2.0's Katrina Rose.  

I was trying to figure out what disco-era song would be suitable for rewriting to slam the TERFs (trans exclusionary exterminationalist radical feminazis feminists).

When Kat suggested the Village People's 'Y.M.C.A.', I pulled up the YouTube video, listened to it, agreed she was right and got busy writing the remixed lyrics that you can pull out your iPods and sing along to as you're eviscerating (or laughing at) the TERF's online.

T-E-R-F"s Hate
(Sung to the tune of 'Y.M.C.A.' from the Village People)

Young trans, there's no need to feel down
I said young trans, because she's a transphobic clown
I said young trans, let me break it on down
There's no need to be unhappy

Young trans, TERF's hate on you we know
I said young trans to Gender Trender they go
There's hate speech there and I'm sure you will find
They have hated trans women for a long time 

It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate 
They hate everything cause their lives have no joy
Since the 70s they called us boys.

It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
Yes they're psychotically mean
They have no sex appeal
Being female to us is real.

Young trans, are you listening to me
I said, young trans, be the best you can be
I said, young trans, you can make real your dreams,
But you've got to know this one thing.

No trans, the Bug's not by herself
I said, young trans, she and her TERF's need some help
They just go there, lying on us every day
I'm sure they'll get committed someday

It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
They hate everything cause their lives have no joy
Since the 70's they called us boys.

It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
Yes they're psychotically mean
They have no sex appeal
Being female to us is real.

Young trans, I was once in your shoes,
TERF's wrote hate speech that gave me the blues
I felt no one cared if transfolks were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone came up to me
And said God made your trans self beautifully 
Trans people are on this big planet to stay 
So be proud of yourself today
 
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate 
They hate everything cause their lives have no joy.
Since the 70's they called us boys.

T-E-R-F's Hate
It's girls like us T-E-R-F's hate
Young trans, Young trans, there's no need to feel down
Young trans, Young trans, pick yourself off the ground

T-E-R-F's hate
You know T-E-R-F's hate
Young trans, Young trans, I was once in your shoes,
Young trans, Young trans, I now give TERF's the blues

T-E-R-F's hate
T-E-R-F's hate
(fade to end)
