Gender is Boring Lyrics by She/Her/Hers

She/her/hers

2018

[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be a princess
I never asked anyone to braid my hair
I never asked my mom to buy me things that I saw on the TV marketed towards girls
I never wanted to wear a dress
And I was never obsessed
With the color pink, or sparkling things
Unicorns or fairy wings
Gender never really meant that much to me
'Til people started telling me how it was supposed to be
’Til the people that I loved started to say
[Chorus]
Boys don't act that way
Boys don't act that way
Boys don’t act that way
[Verse 2]
See, the problem I have with gender
Is that I'm not even sure whether
I know what I mean when I say I'm a girl because I feel that way
'Cause boys can wear dresses and makeup
Anyone can wear whatever they want
Girls can have short hair and muscles
And that's where I run into trouble
'Cause if I use she pronouns, well, what does that mean?
Am I reinforcing a gender binary
That I don't believe in?
That I don't adhere to?
I say I’m a woman, what’s that supposed to tell you?
Gender doesn't tell you a damn thing about me
It doesn’t tell you what I like or how I act, it doesn't tell you how I speak
The people you love, they don't love you if they say
[Chorus]
Boys don't act that way
Boys don’t act that way
Boys don't act that way
[Bridge]
And I think it's time that our culture moves past this
Toxic notion that the way we act is
Dictated at birth or that we have to choose
It's an imposed binary, either way we lose
So do what you want
And dress how you feel
Don't let anyone tell you that gender is real
It's useless, oppressive and boring
Worthless and hurtful and stifling
And I think it's time that we put it in its place
So come on, let's put gender into an early grave
I never again wanna hear anyone say
[Chorus]
Boys don't act that way
Boys don't act that way
Boys don't act that way
Boys don't act that way
