lyrics

You resent me because I fit in so fluidly, between male and female.
Partaking in all but existing in none.
I have tits and that’s okay but the hair on my body is distressing.
A mouth just for shouting.
I’m your nightmare.

I choose not to take hormones or change my body, not yet anyway.
Binders too claustrophobic,
So my pronouns don’t stick.
I’m she and her until you decide.
I fit into what you see.
I’m your nightmare.

There’s no pre-approved path for people like me,
no medical intervention.
So that must mean I don’t exist.
If I do male things I’m obviously a man.
If I do female things I’m obviously cis.
I can’t win with your police.
I’m your nightmare.

I’m a feminist, a radical one because gender is something I don’t believe.
I don’t do effortless in anything
Neither man or woman for me.
I do what I want and how I want.
Just angry and non binary.
I’m your nightmare.

I accept people for the journey’s they’re on, accept what you can’t see.
Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
Someone’s identity isn't up to me.
I just don’t fit that binary.
I’m your nightmare.
