SING IT to the tune of Solidarity Forever

Raging Grannies know assigning gender may not seem a lot.
But we recognize that gender can have many different slots.

Attacks on care for the trans youths have simply got to stop!
Trans rights are human rights.

CHORUS:
No more insults, no more slander!
No more right-wing propaganda!
Kid’s bodies are their own, and they must see that they belong.

Trans rights are human rights.

We know that kids are NOT allowed to have the surgery.

And she’s wrong to say the meds have no reversibility!

Our Premier is lying just to stoke her base you see.

Trans rights are human rights!

CHORUS

No more insults, no more slander!
No more right-wing propaganda!
Kid’s bodies are their own, and they must see that they belong.

Trans rights are human rights.

Bigots say that people’s plumbing ought to match their face.

Our government is pandering to its far-right wing base.

We cannot let trans children lose their right to a safe place.
Trans rights are human rights.

CHORUS

No more insults, no more slander!
No more right-wing propaganda!
Kid’s bodies are their own, and they must see that they belong.

Trans rights are human rights.

Our premier said sex is meant for us to procreate.

Showing why we need to separate the Church from State,

Grannies say be who you are there is no place for hate!

Trans rights are human rights!

CHORUS

No more insults, no more slander!
No more right-wing propaganda!
Kid’s bodies are their own, and they must see that they belong.

Trans rights are human rights.
