Why is being transgender so complicated?

(Based on Avril Lavigne's "Complicated", here's a link to the original:

Uh huh, life sucks like this

Uh huh, that’s the way it is.

‘Cause life sucks like this

And that’s the way it is.

(Verse 1:)

Sometimes, wonder what I’m striving for

‘cause I’ve always failed before

But if you could look in me, you might see

I’d like to be myself at last

no more controlled by my past

This is the message I send

tired of having to pretend

(Chorus)

I’m somebody else

around everyone else

I’m watching my back

I can’t relax

act like I’m cool

But who do I fool

But me

Tell me

Why is being transgender so complicated?

havin’ to act like I’m somebody else gets me frustrated

But life’s like this

I fall and I crawl and I break and I take what I get and I turn it to

honesty, I say to thee I can no longer fake it

no, no no

(Verse 2)

You came over unannounced

found me dressed like someone else

Who i am, its more that what you know

Don’t laugh, if I strike a pose

wearing my pretty clothes

tired of fooling everyone

havin’ to become

somebody else

around everyone else

I’m watching my back

I can’t relax

act like I’m cool

But who do I fool

But me

Tell me

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Verse 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2 times)

no, no, no.
