some say that gender roles are sexist
that they are oppressive and closed-minded
they are unjust rules set by others to dictate how individuals
should feel, express themselves and view others
some talk about 'being assigned' a gender at birth
- without their consent or input
don't confuse gender-fluid with trans-fluid, one's for your car
to me, gender-fluid evokes thoughts of juice
the kind juice they found on monica lewinsky's blue dress
but what it is, is a whole new way of looking at the world
you're gonna have to get used to this - you hater
and you have to unlearn all you know about gender
because there is a big shift coming and it's everywhere
groups all over the country and especially on college campuses
are making new gender rules for a new genderless world
they want others to use certain words when referring to them
she, he or something else, and remember, it's fluid
they can change their gender on the fly, minute to minute
-that's convenient when there's a long line at the ladies room
never mind the physical equipment they currently use
increasingly, the "shes" and "hers" that dominate
introductions are keeping third-person company with "they"
or ''ze" and other neutral alternatives meant to convey a more
generous notion of gender
self-identify as "genderqueer" - neither male nor female but
an androgynous hybrid or rejection of both
is challenging anew the limits of western comprehension
and the english language as a whole
people who describe themselves in terms such as agender
bigender, third gender or gender-fluid are going to get
just what they are looking for
a big-ender
worst of all... where will all the babies come from now...
