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.
