"I want to go down in history in a chapter marked ‘miscellaneous’ because the writers could find no other way to categorise me in this world where classification is key . I want to erase the straight lines, so I can be me." Whewwwwww. She's a godess.
"I want to be the girl your parents will use as a bad example of a lady." Really? Staceyann Chin is probably the best example of a strong, determined lady I have ever seen..
by the end of this i was uncontrollably grinning. she makes me so ecstatic i can't decide if i want to sink even deeper into the words or leave everything immediately and roam, no set destination in mind.
"I want to go down in history in a chapter marked Misc. because the writers could find no other way to categorize me in this world where classification is key."
Is that an Irish or Scottish accent? just wondering. She has erased the lines. She is unique woman, kinda like wonderwoman. Great message and delivered well.

There are many Chins from Jamaica because of mass migration to the islands by the Chinese. Given the expanse of China and how common a surname Chin is, I'd say it's remotely possible but to my knowledge no. Distantly related perhaps.
I actually was using butt-hurt in the fashion that shows how sensitive you are to every insignificant not even almost slightly sexist statement. Plus what does rape have to do with rough anal sex? That kind of sex is the norm to some people who enjoy that kind of thing. I obviously enjoyed the performance. If you read my last response toward the middle you would notice I stated what made her sexy, just so there's no confusion "she was sexy, in the way she expressions her passion through poetry."
