An Introduction
I am not the one who took what was not mine to take from you
I am not the one who sees you as less than
I am not the one who trampled over what you held sacred
I am not the one who abused you and left you to heal alone
I am your brother
I am your friend
I am one who believes there is no such thing as too femme
I am a part of you
I am not a traitor to womanhood
I am not your enemy
I am not the one who wishes to keep you under foot
I am not a trifling black man
I am one who braved a journey to be comfortable in my own skin
I am one who still believes that women hold this world together
I am one who is invisible and just like you wishes to be seen
I am one who knows it is not your anatomy that defines your character
I am Malcolm and I am pleased to meet you.
