The world doesn’t revolve around me

I hear this a lot when I say I’m non-binary

So why does it revolve around anyone else?

Why does anyone else get a say on my life on who I am

Because the world doesn’t revolve around me

But I am experiencing my universe through my spirits, my eyes

And I’m saying this is what I’ve found out about me

Not about you

Not about anyone else

Things to do with me are 100% my say

And there may be others saying the same thing but at the end of the day I am asking for base level face to face respect, for me

I don’t care about any number of so called militant trans people “obsessed with pronouns” you ran into

And sometimes having a nail slowly hammered into you head makes you a bit crazy

Imagine you see yourself a way

And literally no one else sees you that way

It’s maddening

It’s maddening that someone who I don’t know thinks they know me better than I do

Not my skeleton (but thanks for fantasising about me being dead)

Not my DNA

Btw if you really wanted things done by DNA

Mozart wouldn’t have been allowed to be a pianist

But me

Like me

I know me best

I’m annoying as fuck but I still deserve to be seen as me

Just like everyone else.
