If

Always Show Respect

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 2 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Introduction

This is just a piece on how we still make assumptions about people and their pronouns. I am CIS/Straight whatever you want to call me, but one of the problems is that He/She/Mr/Mrs/Miss immediately box people for the convenience of society and that is not something I like or agree with.

I will address people however they desire and am fine being corrected when (as I often do) I get it wrong.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone but let me know if it does.

The music is "Define Me" by Bad Pollyanna.

If I Am Not He Or She

How Do You Think I'm Defined?

First Of All, Know That I'm Me

And Your Limits Are Not Mine

So Acknowledge My Pronouns

Is It Actually Hard

To Respect Me? Now Don't Frown

You Can Use The Correct Words

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

I'm Not Here For Your Comfort

Or Any Convenience

I Have The Right To Respect

Form Acquaintances And Friends

Show Respect With My Pronouns

And We Will Be Fine And Sound
