Identity As Lived Experience
I don’t identify as fat, rather
I am living that experience.
I don’t identify as trans, rather
That I am living that experience.
I don’t identify as a lesbian, rather
I lived that experience.
I don’t identify as non-binary, rather
I experience the world between sexes
Which, to me, is all of the above
And then some.
The only people who hate this idea
Are people who feel they live(d) it
But haven’t, or don’t.
