My hair may be cropped short, and I may wear unconventional clothing and I may not do the things expected of "polite young women" and I may love whom you say I have no right to love but that does not give you the right to shame me. That does not give you the right to try to change me. That does not mean I have to find words to explain me. Ego sum qui sum. I am who I am, and I will not define myself by what you expect me to be.
