I never wanted to be a princess I never asked anyone to braid my hair I never asked my mom to buy me things that I saw on the TV marketed towards girls I never wanted to wear a dress And I was never obsessed With the color pink, or sparkling things Or unicorns or fucking fairy wings Gender never really meant that much to me Til' people started telling me how it was supposed to be Til’ the people that I loved started to say
