lyrics

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, sparkling things
Unicorns, fairy wings

Gender never really meant that much to me
Until people started telling me how I was supposed to be
Until the people that I loved started to say
“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
It 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 act that way”


I think it's time that our culture moves past
This toxic notion that the way we act
Is 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, hurtful, and stifling
I think it's time that we put it in its place
So come on let's put gender into an early grave
I never again want to hear anyone say

“Boys don’t act that way”
