Gender Is Boring
She/Her/Hers
Letra

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 ing fairy wings
Gender never really meant that much to me
Till' people started telling me how it was supposed to be
Till? 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 ed 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
