You
and your gender
Let
me ask you, what do YOU think GENDER is?
Well,
to me GENDER is what limited me,
what
hurt me when I developed signals that
supposivly
"belong" to the "other side"
of
the TWO gender types.
It
also showed me,
where
I failed to stay on one side,
and
it was said,
that
this was sick.
And
when you are sick,
you
go to a doctor,
who
fixes it, right?
To
fit into the concept GENDER,
I
had to have SURGERY.
So
sick was I that I had to be CUT apart.
Only
to PASS as this - or that.
Gender
showes you where your place is.
It
tells you how to dress,
walk,
talk,
pick
your nose,
scratch
your crotch,
sit,
fuck,
how
to ask questions,
when
to answer,
what
to say,
how
much money you make,
and
on which side you choose
your
allies or enemy.
If
you, by choice,
would
overstep a boundary,
from
one gendertype towards the other,
you
transgress,
you
violate an ORDER system,
you
threaten the peace,
of
how things are supposed to be,
which
have always been like this,
"since
dawn of time".
The
thing is,
the
last statement is a lie.
A
lie of OUR time,
OUR
"western world",
and
supported by everyone of us,
that
plays along.
If
you transgress,
without
your knowledge,
(so
for example,
when
you were born
with
attributes that do not belong
to
the gender you were assigned to
[by
doctors, nurses, midwifes, you confused,
while
you as the baby
might
be happy, healthy, and full of joy,
ignorant
of the things that might yet come]
so
that they wouldn't know
WHAT
you are,
and
make the decision for you)
your
body has to be
put
back into order,
you
will be FIXED,
by
medicine,
that
acts for the good of society,
in
the name of the law,
that
doesn't even percieve anything else,
than
Boy or Girl.
All
in the name of GENDER,
so
everyone will know,
how
to deal with you,
what
to call you,
how
to think of you,
which
is helpful, of course,
which
simplefies all kinds of decisions,
mainly
the ways,
how
to suppress you,
hurt
you,
use
you,
manipulate
you,
sell
to you,
steal
from you.
What
now, if I don't play this game anymore?
Everyone
screams 'CHEATER!"
you
know why?
Because,
without GENDER,
I
am free.
I
don't need anyone,
to
tell me WHAT or even WHO I am.
I
definately am NEITHER male or female.
Though
since you might still play along,
I
see you and your role.
But
you CANNOT SEE ME.
Well,
I make you see me.
Is
it jealousy on your face?
Hatred
and Anger?
You
don't know what to sell me?
How
to talk to me?
How
to hurt me?
Maybe
you will laugh at me,
or
try to kill me,
but
let me tell you,
YOU
ARE ASLEEP.
You
are dreaming your life,
Sponsored
by companies, ideas and rules,
that
make you, everyday.
Your
identity,
is
NOT YOU.
Its
a system!
I
say, WAKE UP!
And
see, what more there is to life.
Though
if you don't want to leave,
those
fake shores you consider safety and identity,
just
let ME be,
FREE.
