about

I wrote this song about a friend, I don't think I do that alot. It is specifically about their identity as a nonbinary transgender person and the way that their strength and stories inspire me every day. I have known them long enough to see them go through stages of self-discovery and realization and they have taught me so much about the world and myself.

Simply put, "nonbinary" is a catch-all term (among others) for folks who identify as between and/or outside of our society's prescribed gender binary (the idea that you can only be male OR female/masculine OR feminine, no exceptions). It is hard to receive basic respect and dignity from the outside world when you identify and present in this way. Most people in our society do not even believe this a valid or "real" way to identify. The truth is that gender is much more complex than what many of us were ever taught and there is increasing evidence that gender diversity outside of our strict binary has existed in hundreds of cultures throughout human existence and continues to this day.

Disclaimer: This song is just my personal interpretation and view of one person's experience in a light and fun way. It is not meant to be fully representative of their personal experience or the experience of any nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and/or trans people. The ideas and language involved are usually much more complex and I hope that this song only serves as a small window into a very diverse and constantly growing/reforming area.
