[Bit 1]

My name is Joe, and because we're in Texas,
I'm legally required to tell you all that I am trans.
Don't worry, they took my guns at the door.
Yeah, you're safe for now.

[Bit 2]

I go by Joe, J-O.
I used to go by Joe, J-O-E.
But like most things with transition,
you just cut off the parts you don't like.

[Bit 3]

Speaking of guns, I actually do love guns.
You know, us trannies are always packing something.
And it's hard to conceal carry a Glock
when you're hiding a cock.

[Bit 4]

Yeah, and I love my guns so much.
You know, I really only came out of the closet
to make room for more guns.

[Bit 5]

And because I'm on hormones, people ask me,
they say, "Is it safe for you to be around so many guns?"
And the hormones make me emotional sometimes,
like a woman on her period, but not unstable.
Like, not so unstable I'd shoot up a Catholic school.

[Bit 6]

I asked a priest about that joke,
and he said, "Finish blowing me first."

[Bit 7]

He didn't say that I transitioned.
I'm not a boy anymore.
