Nell: “Aw, couple goals.”

at home, with the radio on and i throw myself down on the bed / i'm restless, i'm wrestling with a song that you love / it’s been stuck in my head / i try to be happy that i had it, but i'm sad, i'm just fuckin' sad.

I want to be allowed to say I'm not like most women. I want to be allowed to tell you that my gender is neutral, though I will answer to she and do not wish to become male, though I feel more male than female frequently. I want to tell you that if you try to come at me with stereotypical things society thinks women want, they won't be things that I want. Not because they're feminine, but because of just personal preference or allergies (usually allergies).

Let me talk to you about what's it's been like to be bossed around about how to be a woman by other women. Let me talk to you about how this fucked me up for the first several years of my life. When I was a child and expressed that I wasn't like most girls, I was met with hostility and shame. I was met with confusion and misunderstanding. I couldn't even begin to tell them that it was because I felt like a boy most of the time because they were already lecturing me on how harmful such a statement was for all girls.

I want you to realize that I am not like most women because I am not. I am not looking for special treatment. Nor do I think of it as separating myself from other women because of whatever negative whatever that people seem to think women have. I just want to feel like my gender identity is valid. I want to feel like you want to get to know me and I should not have to be content to put up with stereotypical platitudes, attitudes, and gifts. I should not have to hide who I am. By sex, I am a woman. By gender, I am neutral and just go with the pronouns I've used my whole life because while not wholly accurate, they don't bother me.

I mean how else can I really put it? Facebook dosen't even have an accurate gender option for me. I can't even ask that Facebook put a gender neutral term for me on my birthday because I have to select an option that doesn't even fit who I am if I want to be gender neutral on their website. I don't want to be anything queer. That's the shame term I've heard all my life. I will not list myself as a shame term and give the people who use it against me the satisfaction of seeing it next to my name as some kind of warped validation.

I don't know. I'm just tried of being told how I can express myself in gender and sexuality. I'm tired of being told I'm invalid because what I'm saying is true out of fear of abuse of the system or fear that I might mean negative things towards other women.

Just once in my life I want to be something I can't control that doesn't lead to erasure, invalidation, or exclusion.
