Remind me who I am again.
Am I her, or am I he?
Remind me who I am again.
Am I him, or am I she?

I'm lost in between the binary
Stuck within the expected
I'm on the fence of normality
I'm infected.

I'm infected with this disease called "society"
that causes mild headaches, mood swings, and self hatred.
Well I have new for you:
Today's societal views need to be updated.

Contrary to popular belief,
my body actually isn't sacred.
It's not yours to determine,
what looks right on me when I'm naked.

Contrary to popular belief,
my body is mine.
Identity comes first,
and that's up to me to define.

A body is like clay
You mold it to your identity
Everyone is different,
Don't you see?

I am allowed to experiment with my body
I am allowed to do as I please
If that's having sex with someone like me,
then so what? It's my opportunity to seize.

I am allowed to mold my body
I am allowed to fix it as I please
If that means hormones, surgery, or none of the above
then so what?  It's my skin to adjust.

Grey science
We don't have all the answers
Grey science
A human body cannot be manufactured.

A human body cannot be manufactured.
