Texas cop: I’d beat a trans woman unconscious if she tried to share a bathroom with my daughter

North Carolina fight over transgender rights, bathroom bills could be coming to Texas


Tracy takes on the Transgenders

A lawman from Texas called Tracy
was recently heard to confess:
A man is a man is a man, see?
I don’t care if he’s wearing a dress.

So if ever I find a transgender
in a restroom while
my daughter’s there,
I will take up my right to defend her,
and he'll wake up in intensive care,


Old Tracy was quick to take action,
stood guard at the Ladies' room door
I’ll put any tranny in traction,
was the oath that our brave Tracy swore.

Now Martha was manly of feature,
(and we all make mistakes, let’s be fair).
She was also a martial arts teacher.
Tracy woke up in intensive care.

He returned having learned from his failure;
his flawless new plan showed great flair:
Will you ladies please show your genitalia?
And he woke up in intensive care.

That night back at home after drinking,
in a moment of self-doubt and shame,
our policeman had gotten to thinking
that 'Tracy' was not a man’s name:

Oh God! I'm a trifle transgender,
and my poor daughter’s sitting right there.

So he beat himself up to defend her,
and he woke up in intensive care.

-----
penultimate line was: "So I'll do the right thing and defend her."

I'd welcome any feedback / critique -- assuming it's appropriate to ask for such on this thread -- as I'm trying to knock this into shape at speed. In particular I'm wondering it's clear what happens in the Martha verse, and also if the ending is clear. I could make the end clearer by having the penultimate line be: "So he beat himself up to defend her". But the subtlety seems preferable if it works.

Americans: do you call a women's public restroom it "the ladies" and if not, then what? Also, 'restroom' or 'bathroom'.

Thanks

Matt
