Either Or? No, I am in Between, I am neither and more!
I am not your Either – I am the In Between.
I am not “Mr.” I am not “Ms.”
I am not what you expect.
And I am not the opposite, either.
I am a human being.
Complex. Fluid. Real.
I question your black-and-white thinking.
I challenge your binary oppositions.
Because life lives between yes and no.
Between right and wrong lies emotion.
Between man and woman lies so much more.
I am not undecided – I am decidedly different.
Not either – but also.
Not against – but for togetherness.
Despite difference. Because of difference.
The Self-Determination Act gives me the space.
I fill it with dignity.
With the question: Who are you—when you ask who I am?
I don’t want to tear down systems.
I want to plant a new way of thinking.
One that doesn’t divide us, but connects us.
Not despite our differences, but because of them.
