Gender Bender

from Hey There, Voyeur! by The Variants

lyrics

I wear the words on me every day
They and them isn’t hard to say
I wear them proud I keep them in plain sight
But no one ever seems to get it right

What did I expect? The world won’t instantly change,
but still I shout

I’m not a man!
But you continue to call me sir
You’ll never understand
What I mean by Gender Bender

I don’t try to hide my rack
So I’m surprised when you can overlook that
I’m sure you are confused
But I can’t call that a solid excuse

I try to remember that you don’t mean harm
But you’ve taken this a little too far
You only think in terms of two
So tell me when exactly you first felt “Cis” fit you.

I’ve changed somehow
I’m exactly who I though I’d be now
You’ll never understand
What I mean by Gender Bender

I’m not a man!
But you continue to call me sir
You’ll never understand
What I mean by Gender Bender
