I'm A Boy
 

https://youtu.be/8lO91WWJ9tI


One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy
My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered in mud
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
He said, "Will you defeat them?
Your demons, and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?"
"Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer
To join the black parade"

I don't know what is going on in here.

I'm a Gurney Flap.

I'm a carrot.

Why not a they or them? I feel threatened with violence

Talk about prophetic.

I'm sure some trans men would relate to this song and one interpretation of feeling a masculine gender, but being characterized by the female sex they were born. Of course, most parents choose their children's gender and try to shape or foster it with blue wallpaper and clothes, or with pink dresses and dolls, but sometimes despite their best efforts to mold gender and despite nature providing a seemingly obvious sex, we get gender dysphoria. There may be the case of some parents shaping their children to be transgender, but if a person believes this is possible then they would have to believe that if it wasn't for their own parents encouraging them to wear blue, to play sports and not to cry that they could have grown to be trans. I think most people would dismiss that idea that they could be talked into being trans. People are what they are for the most part and some experiences allow them to be themselves or don't.

Interesting history of the song here:

Sorry - to barge in - I thought I was on a car forum - :iono:

In the off topic section :rolleyes:

Like all famous bands, The Who are in on the script. They sold their souls for fortune and fame, and in return, they became slaves to the beast; they are forced to sing songs for predictive programming purposes.
Look at the W.H.O. today. They have been pushing pharmakeia on people, especially children, for decades. They successfully forced the Pokemon sticker into many unwitting subjects. Gender confusion all started when pharmakeia became mandatory in order to attend public schools.

You mean "sorry to reverse in"?

BTW, I am what I am...

In many ways, this is a car forum like Top Gear is a car show. There's some good stuff about cars, specifically the Twins, but at the same time there is some interesting conversation that has nothing to do with cars, or is just car adjacent. Then sometimes it's just about a farm.
