about

This track is about comparing yourself to others. I find a lot of times that I tend to doomscroll on Twitter and get lost in wanting to look like other trans girls, wishing I passed better and wishing my body was closer to the ideal that I have in mind. It was birthed out of insecurity. Writing this song helped me vent those fears out and start to get to a place of appreciation for myself and how far I've come from where I was pre-transition.

lyrics

Dear doll
She/they, poly pan girl online
Dear doll
You're my transition goal
And 14 thousand people know why
You pass
And you still have that sultry voice
You don't look plastic
I wish I could be like that

They say comparison's the enemy of confidence
But it's hard to build self esteem
When you're the only that sees you as a beauty queen

It's always
"Wow he's gotten so big,
he looks so handsome"
It's always
"When you gonna shave that mess of your head,
and loose that gut you're too young for that"

Dear doll
She/they poly pan girl online
Dear doll
You're my transition goal
And 14 thousand people know why
You pass
And you still have a sultry voice
You don't look plastic
I wish I could be like that

You'll post sexy ass photos say "good morning say it back"
Tweet out of pocket shit and everyone follows you back
Your name carries weight in niche internet spaces

And when you're "boymoding" you just look like a tomboy
Want FFS but I really don't see why
I might just think you're pretty and a real big flirt
But I'm dying to look half as good as you do in a skirt

Dear doll
She/they, poly, pan girl online
Dear doll
You're my transition goal
And 14 thousand people know why
You pass
And you still have a sultry voice
You don't look plastic
I wish I could be like that
