It’s not a disease
With apologies to Matchbox 20

Some say it's a mistake

But I got tired of the heartbreak

But I had to let Todd go

Cause he was just a show

Being trans was a pain

Even on my good days

It was scary, I’m sure you know

But I had to let him go

I had to turn me over

Had to say I tried,

No longer hold Dorothy down

Had to be a girl

Or it would break my heart

It’s not a disease

A girl deep inside me

Always felt uneasy baby

I needed to live true

What else was I supposed to do about it

Don’t need to keep your distance from it

You got to listen to me

It’s not a disease

You might think I’m a mess

Wanting to go around in a nice dress

But Dorothy was a fire

And every day I burned

No it's not that tragic

Being me it feels like magic

Being a girl

Now I can breathe

No it’s not a disease

A girl deep inside of me

Always felt uneasy baby

I found a way to live true

What else could I do about it

Don’t need to keep your distance from it

You got to listen to me

It’s not a disease

Some think that I’m sick

But if you would just take the time to listen to me

Being Dorothy is freedom honey

Don’t you see I’m better honey

Listen to this song

I’m telling you it’s not that wrong

I have no disease

No it’s not a disease

I’m free to be me

And it's not a disease.
