Anyways, Kate Bornstein pretty much sums up how I feel. I've been reading some of her books:
And then I found this cheer online today, written by the Radical Cheerleaders:
Coming out Day Cheer: CU Boulder Campus Crusade for Queers
"Yo all you girlz; hey all you boyz,
Leave all the stereotypes bring on the toys.
Y'all ready for rhythm y'all ready for rhyme,
Come on everyone it's gender fuck time
Gender, gender, fuck it we say Life's more fun with gender play.
Gender, gender, it's not what's down there,
Assigning strict roles, that ain't fair.
Gender, gender, it's a fluid thing Fuck their rules we're celebrating.
The gender police, What assholes, Forcing us into gender roles.
Just boy or girl is what they are trying to sew, That silly binary has got to go.
If I wanna wear whitey -tighties with my dress, Who are you messing with my happiness? If I wanna wear high heals and I got a dick, Leave me alone, don't be a gender prick.
So I've got short hair and a big strap-on, You have no right saying its wrong.
Gender, gender, fuck it we say Life's more fun with gender play.
Gender, gender, it's not what's down there, Assigning strict roles, that ain't fair.
Gender, gender, it's a fluid thing Fuck their rules we're celebrating.
BUTCH FEMME FAG DYKE Be who you are dress how you like.
OVERALLS LIPSTICK PANTIES TIES Don't be the gender police in disguise. PRETTY CUTE HANDSOME TOO The secret is, JUST BE YOU
Gender, gender, fuck it we say Life's more fun with gender play.
Gender, gender, it's not what's down there, Assigning strict roles, that ain't fair.
Gender, gender, it's a fluid thing Fuck their rules we're celebrating.
