In response to a Melissa Chen tweet.

lyrics

I was so excited when you were born
I didn’t want to be the norm
I stayed at home while your mother worked
Dressed you in a blouse and skirt
Gender norms we would subvert
Til you wanted a tractor shirt

Oh boy I never factored
My boy would love tractors
The chug chug chug of machinery
Oh how it bugs and bothers me
How could I queer this John Deere
So he won’t adhere to what I fear

For me femininity was linked with empathy
And masculinity with frigidity
I wanted my son to break the mold
Not be someone who’s stiff and cold
Maybe I’m the one who’s withholding
Is it his identity if I’m controlling

Well I’ve come to accept it
Even if I don’t respect it
Maybe he is subversive
Cause boy he’s subverting me
And the chug chug chug of machinery
Oh how it bugs and bothers me
The chug chug chug of machinery
Is ok with me if it makes you happy
