talking to my parents about the gender spectrum in terms of colour - a conversation that’ll never happen
what happens when i no longer like your pink, sweet, version of me you’ve curated?
what would happen if i erased all colour completely?
no, i’m not talking about choosing blue over pink or yellow or green
“gender neutral” clothing isn’t any shade on the colour wheel
i’m talking about if i never associated the colour pink with femininity
and blue with masculinity
and yellow and green with “gender neutrality”
what if my life was just void of colour?
like if i were to say i didn’t feel like a girl nor a boy
nor the brief possibility of both
i just feel
like that grey space in between the most diluted shades on the colour wheel
would you still force me to call myself “daughter”?
