Got my hormone therapy consultation tomorrow and not looking forward to having to lie, hide and artificially perform feminity to be taken serious... this song slaps
@@apkibum I got the hormones and I'm doing better than ever in my life for real, the endocrinologist was pretty chill and I cut my hair a couple weeks later, feeling nonbinary as fuck and proud.
@@Robaerd way late here, but I just wanted to say congratulations, and I’m so happy for you. I know how much better I felt after finally starting HRT, and it always warms my heart to hear other peoples stories. Wishing you the best!
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 Boys don't talk that way Boys don't dress that way Boys don't act that way You see the problem I have with gender Is that I'm not even sure whether I know what I mean when I say I'm a girl because I feel that way 'Cause boys can wear dresses and makeup Anyone can wear whatever they want Girls can have short hair and muscles And that's where I run into trouble 'Cause if I use she pronouns, well, what does that mean Am I reinforcing a gender binary That I don't believe in That I don't adhere to I say I'm a woman, what's that supposed to tell you Gender doesn't tell you a damn thing about me Doesn't tell you what I like or how I act, it doesn't tell you how I speak The people you love, they don't love you if they say Boys don't talk that way Boys don't dress that way Boys don't act that way And I think it's time that our culture moves past This fucked up notion of the way we act Is it dictated at birth or that we have to choose It's an imposed binary, either way we lose So do what you want And dress how you feel Don't let anyone tell you that gender is real It's useless, oppressive, and boring Worthless, and hurtful, and stifling I think it's time that we put it in its place So come on let's force gender into an early grave I never again want to hear anyone say Boys don't act that way Girls don't act that way Boys don't act that way Boys don't act that way
thanks, now my gender issues are back /j haha, but for real, though, this song spoke to me… i never really cared about gender. i felt comfortable and ok being a girl and that’s it. never questioned. but now, WHAT does it means being a girl?? it isn't about clothes, appearance, personality, nothing! then what? ughh, f*ck gender 🚶♀️
Introducing myself here. Since arriving to the Portland area, havent been able to find the scene that once attracted me to Portland. So drab where i'm at.
Y’all in the comment are kinda delusional 😭. That’s not a she, the whole point of the song is about how gender is basically useless and emerged as a coping mechanism against gender stereotypes and then started to create even more confusion, which means WE DON’T FUCKING NEED IT. It may help for a short while but it creates a bigger problem in the end, because if you are going to ignore gender’s origins and say you feel like a man/woman/nonbinary I’m sorry but you’re just feeling the crushing weight of gender stereotypes/expectations (which is valid and really REALLY hard to put up with). You can’t feel like a woman because all a woman is is a person with genitals/XX chromosomes/feminine body structure. EVERYTHING ELSE IS PERSONALITY, you don’t have to bring gender into it, it’ll make everything confusing as hell. It already did, considering the problems with sexuality definitions now

Is anyone else absolutely vibing with the harmonies the crowd is throwing out in the chorus
yes it's beautiful
She is so beautiful and I fucking love her voice.she is amazing
Ye she right
Yea fr she’s so pretty
I’m trans ftm and this song is amazing:)
THIS IS SO ANGSTY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY TRANS! I love it, new anthem
Starting hrt in 3 weeks, thank you
I feel the exact same way except the opposite direction lol.
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
Boys don't talk that way
Boys don't dress that way
Boys don't act that way
You see the problem I have with gender
Is that I'm not even sure whether
I know what I mean when I say I'm a girl because I feel that way
'Cause boys can wear dresses and makeup
Anyone can wear whatever they want
Girls can have short hair and muscles
And that's where I run into trouble
'Cause if I use she pronouns, well, what does that mean
Am I reinforcing a gender binary
That I don't believe in
That I don't adhere to
I say I'm a woman, what's that supposed to tell you
Gender doesn't tell you a damn thing about me
Doesn't tell you what I like or how
I act, it doesn't tell you how I speak
The people you love, they don't love you if they say
Boys don't talk that way
Boys don't dress that way
Boys don't act that way
And I think it's time that our culture moves past
This fucked up notion of the way we act
Is it dictated at birth or that we have to choose
It's an imposed binary, either way we lose
So do what you want
And dress how you feel
Don't let anyone tell you that gender is real
It's useless, oppressive, and boring
Worthless, and hurtful, and stifling
I think it's time that we put it in its place
So come on let's force gender into an early grave
I never again want to hear anyone say
Boys don't act that way
Girls don't act that way
Boys don't act that way
Boys don't act that way

considering you're anti-antifa not surprising, i think most of the punk scene is against fascism
@@Robaerd wait how am I anti antifa or anything for that matter? I dont recall saying.
Long Legged One the video on your channel in which you say Antifa needs to perish and call antifascists „fucktards“
@@Robaerd yeah this person is fuck
Is that boy or girl ?
she's a girl
this song is literally about being nonbinary
@@voidwitch1141 i know
