I don't want to be perceived
I don't want people knowing who I am
How I identify
I know who I am
Why do others need to know?
Once they do they have questions
Try to invalidate your beliefs
Once the know your identity
Their perception of you changes
Placing their preconceived notions onto you
I don't want to be perceived
I want to be in control of how others view me
I'd rather be misgendered
Than people know how to identify me
I'd rather people not know how to identify me
Because I am in control over how I am perceived
I don't care if I am perceived
But I don't want others to know how to perceive me
I want to be in control of how I am seen by others
And if they know how to perceive me
Then I lose that control
On how I am perceived
