My entire life I have been a girl.
I played with barbies, I pretended to be a Spice Girl.
I danced and wore dresses.
But for me, that didn't mean anything.
I rode bikes with my cousins.
I played with cars.
I LIVED in my video games.
But to me that never meant anything.
Being "girly" was something that never occurred to me.
Being a "tom boy" never occurred to me.
I have always been me.
I wore makeup for a performances.
I wore dresses for parties.
But not because I had to, because I thought it looked nice.
Being calling myself a female isn't a bad thing.
When I had short hair as a teenager I was FURIOUS when people would refer to me as a boy.
But as I got older I wondered why.
Because I'm not offended by "gender" gender doesn't exist.
We are all humans with different parts and different bodies.
I will continue to wear combat boots with dresses.
Or wish that I could wear a binder and be flat chested for a few days. (I can't find one that doesn't give me uni-boob)
I will do what I want.
Call me what you want, as long as it is with respect.
But I am not offended by something that doesn't exist.
I will not let a word/set of words define me because they are used to categorize people because we can't just be people.
I don't care what you call me, or how you refer to me because at the end of the day, I am a human.
I am he, I am she, I am they.
We are all we.
