gender is a newspaper

to which I do not subscribe

life is hard enough

without these arbitrary rules

that, objectively, make no sense

why are girls expected to sit

quiet and complacent

while boys are told to

conquer the world?

and what about

those of us

who do not fit in the

neat little boxes

our society has created?

yes, that’s right.

we are expected to

conform

to the

burden

of our assigned sex.

sex

does not

equal

gender.

I am not a

woman.

nor am I a

man.

I

am

me.
