No, I do not want to be "one of the girls."
I don't want to be "one of the boys," either.
I want to be "one of the skippy twee blue-haired pansy-ass genderqueer kids named Gerald," because that's what I am. I'm not a girl.* I'm not a boy.** I'm me.***
So stop trying to friggin' gender me already.****
With all due respect,
a skippy twee blue-haired pansy-ass genderqueer kid named Gerald
* Except when I am.
** Except when I am.
*** Except when I'm not.
**** Honestly, I could easily extend this to "stop trying to friggin' gender EVERYBODY already," because I have been reading queer theory lately and it makes me even madder about the gender binary than ever. And, um, I'm usually pretty pissed about it! AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED. Seriously, guys, can we just all chill out and be cool and do what we want to do without checking our Handy-Dandy Gender Guides to make sure it's okay first?
