This was originally recorded as an improvised acapella track.
I used Otter.ai to aid in the transcription.
Locking this until I get the acapella recorded or decide to re-improvise this or something.

2022-02-05: It's been several days since I improvised this track. I think I've decided not to do the Pronoun album. I only sang this song and one other before I was distracted. I've not even uploaded the audio file anywhere yet. (The Pronoun B-side track probably won't be posted to FAWM at all.)
This song doesn't really have the sort of "abandon your gods if they hate you" vibe I originally wanted. But also, I'm not really feeling like trying again right now.
So I'm just going to FAWM it and be done. Will I upload the acapella? Maybe? I don't know.
Transphobes don't like pronouns.
Transphobes want them to go away.
Transphobes don't like pronouns.
"Just use your name." That's what they say.
They're really mean. Mean you know.
They don't want to go to your show.
Transphobes hate pronouns.
This is what I say say:
When you find someone that
disrespects your pronouns,
just move along.
Ignore them and think of this song.
Transphobes hate pronouns.
Just ignore them. Throw them away.
Transphobes hate pronouns.
So when they come along,
remember what I have to say:
If you find your deity,
doesn't like your chosen pronouns,
throw that deity out the door
and find a new one today.
Throw that deity out the door
and find another to whom you can pray.
When you find the right deity for you,
you will find so much you'll see
a lovely relationship can develop.
You just wait and see.
But transphobes hate pronouns.
They hate them all.
They don't use he or thee.
They don't use she or you
or they or even me, me, me.
Transphobes hate pronouns.
All the ugly pronouns.
Transphobes hate pronouns.
Just you weight and see.

some wise advice- nicely done!!!

I like the message of "abandon your gods if they hate you" here. And also the "move along" message, though sometimes I wish I could block people on FAWM.

Even though you aren't really planning on recording this, I actually enjoyed reading the lyrics and can imagine for people reading/listening the message is really comforting 'just move along. ignore them and think of this song' even though it's easier said than done.
