Dickless

by Jack Cariad Leon

A man on grindr asks me how big my dick is.

I want to point out trans men exist.

But I don’t want him to know I’m trans.

So to do the former I tell him there are men with vaginas.

And to do the latter I lie about the size of my dick, heavily exaggerating:

I say that when I have vaginal sex with trans men I end up bruising lungs.
