___________
I’ve been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin
Flower petals and feathers tether me to the ground (pound for pound)
Take my tea with formaldehyde for my feminine side since the day that I died
While I whittle my bones until I’m brittle, am I pretty now?
For some reason I find myself lost in what you think of me
And too confused to choose who I should be
And now you’ve got me thinking
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to lie to?
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Just little old me in a big, big world
Little old me in a big world
I wish I were a girl
I’ve been feeling lighthearted since I gained enough weight back to cover my bones
I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time - we’re so alike
But if the shoe fits, then I won’t try it on
You’ll be walking out early, but the show must go on
No, I know that I’m wrong
But I love how you’re on my side when I cross that line
It’s been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in
The privilege of being born to be a man
And now you got me thinking
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to lie to?
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Just little old me in a big, big world
Little old me in a big world
I wish
Eating your prosthetic meat/meet your anesthetic criteria, pathetic seeing you become acetic/be copacetic
Say my name like a slur, but I’ve been called worse
I’ve heard it all before, no this isn’t a first
Let me be the void you fill with taxidermy fingerprints, taxonomize our differences
I am quantum physics, my witness brings me into existence
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to love back?
No, not yet
I wish I could be a girl, and really I’d prefer it if you would use I/Me/Myself
Am I pretty enough?
Am I pretty enough to fucking die?
Little old me in a big world
Well I would give you my whole world
Little old me in a big world
I wish
All identities are equally invalid
Don’t you think that there’s a chance that you could live without it? (x

[@exhaustedanger]

for those curious about the meaning about the song: will wood is cis and the song is describing his experience with gender identity and femininity! interpret it for yourself as you want, but be aware of that/don't insist will is trans. here's his whole statement about it if you're interested: "Some fans have started to harass me and my friends believing that this song is an expression of some kind of transphobia. I normally try to ignore fan harassment, but I find the idea of this particularly disgusting. This song is, as I’ve said, about my experiences with my gender identity. It’s none of your business, but I once identified as genderqueer, until I realized that my attraction to traditionally feminine things did not interfere with my identity as a man. I didn’t want to define non-binary with my good old-fashioned cross-dressing, because I don’t want to speak for anyone else. I came to realize that my refusal and/or failure to meet the behavioral standards of my gender role did not make me less of a man, and anyone (cis or trans) who tells me that wearing makeup now and again makes me less of a man can shove it. After struggling for some time, I realized that my genderqueer identity wasn’t necessary for me, that I was wearing it as a prop in order to serve a purpose. The song is about my experiences and any amount of satire or targeted poking fun it does is at people who are doing what I know I did at the time. Partially in the hopes of drawing people away from that toxicity like I wish something had for me at the time. I admit that some lyrics were added after fans started refusing to accept that I am not trans, even going so far as to tell me to my face that I am regardless of what I tell them, and would not listen to my explanations of the song. My frustration with the fact that there were far more non-binary people refusing to accept my cisgender identity than there ever were cisgender people refusing to accept my genderqueer identity likely had me writing with a little more venom than I would have otherwise - but the target is still, when it comes down to it, myself. Also, I was tripping balls at a casino, leave me alone. To boil it down, the song is about how I respond to my frustration with the limitations of the male gender role, the maladaptive ways I’ve coped with that frustration, and trying to figure out if this experience or any other regarding my gender can or should define me. It reaches the same conclusion that most of my work does - and that is that nothing is real and that if something is hurting us we have the power to cast it off. As I said with my entire second album, clinging too hard to one’s identity in the wrong way can hurt oneself and others, and I know for sure that’s what I was doing - and anyone who has attacked me or my friends over it is likely doing that too. Seriously at least have the basic human decency to leave my friends out of it if you can’t resist abusing me. I, as I’ve said clearly, wholly and firmly support the movement for the acceptance on non-binary gender identities. I myself would call myself cisgender, but I believe it’s incredibly important that we as a society move toward a place where gender roles no longer limit us, control us, and hurt us. I can only clarify so much better without just repeating what I’ve already written, so I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for listening, hope this suffices, join my Patreon."

I was born a guy. I've always been apathetic and indifferent about gender. I've never actively wished to *not* be a guy, but at the same time, I feel as if I were to wake up tomorrow as a woman I'd kind of just go "huh, neat" and life would go on. I've always just seen masculinity and femininity as vestigial leftovers from when men would hunt and women would forage. I'm not trans, at least I don't think I am. And while I do consider myself male, I don't consider the fact I am male to be a core part of my identity. I'm just me, plain and simple. And me is wonderful.

[@runefaustblack]

Research "gender apathetic" or "agender", if you'd like a label. If you don't, more power to you! Also, I'm mostly like you. The only reason I don't assume either of those labels is that I get some visceral pleasure from crossdressing, so... I have no idea what I am, really, but I like it fine :)

[@3l1zzy98]

Literally same exact hat except I'm born female. Feels weird ticking the female box on medical forms but not weird enough to like, do anything about it. I dress girl, I use she her, I have a girl name, but I really don't have any loyalty to it. I just don't have any particular inclination to change anything either

[@spamme.]

Yeah. I've come to realize that while my gender does dictate some parts of my life, i can't just change it to make my problems go away. I'm a girl. That's it, nothing more or less to that gender identity. Whatever.

[@seineevee]

I feel the exact same except I was born female. Being a girl always felt like… if me as a person was a bag, and all the things that make me up are in/on the bag, being female would be an easily removable keychain hanging off the strap. It’s not part of the bag, but many people focus more on it than the bag (person). Honestly, I’m just me, before any gender or pronouns. And that’s what’s important. Me and you are wonderful to be!

I'm a gender non-conforming male who was a transgirl for a long time, because I was taught that I was too feminine to be a boy. Everyone either told me that I was a boy and so should act more manly, or that I was really a girl on the inside. Even now I get people saying I'm an egg (trans in denial) because of my femininity

I always go so fucking ham singing “my witness brings me to existence!” because it’s exactly what I wanted to scream back when my dad kept trying to get me to prove my transness. “How do you know you aren’t a girl?” “You were always fine with it before.” “NEVER stop questioning or you’ll do something stupid.” I am this way because I fucking said so.

As an AMAB non-binary person, this song goes hard. A lot of times I wish I could just be a girl instead of non-binary, since it would make things easier. And “am I pretty enough” is something I ask myself all the time, haha. Because I’m not sure I’ll ever be feminine enough.

this makes a lot of sense in a really sad way; i'm an afab nonbinary guy and in an unconventional way, theres a lot of privilege that comes in that. its all "you don't have to pass, you're valid however you look!" until the person is amab. amab people have to try so incredibly hard to present how the world wants in order to be addressed correctly. its just misogyny tbh, they need people who arent men to fit into the male gaze :/ im sorry abt it, and ik you've probably internalized that you aren't pretty enough, but you're beautiful :)

i reckon the cleverest thing about this song is that the top note that he keeps going back to in the chorus is clearly in an uncomfortably high part of his range especially in the cutesy way he's trying to sing it and his voice keeps cracking over it, which in the context of this song subtextually implies it's to do with obsessing over wanting to sound more conventionally traditionally socially acceptably "girly"

this song hits hard for me as a trans demiboy who can't come out to hit family because they're all transphobic christians. ive struggled with internalized transphobia for a long time, and I refused to allow myself to be trans for a long even when I knew I was, and after coming out to my friends, I felt like it was wrong and I attempted to 'not be trans' which utterly failed. so now im just trying to keep it all together while I get deadnamed and misgendered every day. i cant wait until I hit 18 in two years so i can move out immediately and actually start being myself edit - about a yearish later i came out to my family. it didn't go well, but im alive and im okay. this song gas helped me so much as well as every other will wood song. im not a demiboy anymore, i identify as binary male. my two best friends of several years are now my queerplatonic partners, and they have helped me hang on so much. if you're struggling to stay alive due to oppression in your family, i promise it will get better. you just need to hold on until it does. remember you're valid no matter what anyone in your family tells you, and i love you too.

I know this song is more about being gender non-conforming than anything, but I really relate as a genderfluid AFAB person. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my identity, but sometimes I wish I *didn't* have the gender dysphoria, and that I could just be a cis girl. After all, it would save me a lot of confusion and discomfort, not to mention not having to explain your identity to those who won't believe you, or having to fear coming out. (I'm not fully out to my parents, but they would support me no matter what, thank God.) EDIT: I made this comment not too long after I had figured out I was genderfluid, and I’m dealing with a lot less issues surrounding my gender now. Over the past few months, I’ve been able to embrace my gender more, and I’m much more confident in my identity now. Still, though, seeing quite a few other people relate to my struggles is both a little saddening and very relieving.

This is such an interesting approach to gender as it manifests in the modern world. Rarely do people talk about the expectations of masculinity and how frustrating they can be. Women are free to enjoy and explore masculine hobbies, and roles, and are in fact usually praised for it. But even in 2024, men are so often looked down upon for having feminine interests. I am a man in a female dominated career. I'm straight, masculine presenting, large (6'3", 270lbs), bearded, and generally not what you picture when you hear the word 'nurse.' And everyday I have clients refuse my service, question my masculinity, and essentially treat me like I must have some nefarious ulterior motive for wanting to fucking help people. It sucks.

Make sure that you understand that people will have different view points no matter what, and you know what? That’s okay and it should be appreciated. I personally like seeing people talk about their own story when listening to this song, be it Will’s own story about how he doesn’t really care about gender norms and such to how a trans person found their way through their own life and becoming happy with themselves or even something completely different!

As a bisexual, I always felt very isolated from straight girl peers for a similar reason. However, I've always felt alienated by lesbians as well. Not just because of a lot of the rigid classifications they use (although that is a part of it), but this vibe of disapproval/disappointment/we'd-prefer-you-didn't-exist that makes it very hard for me to relate to them in any way. For me, it's always been almost impossible to see any lesbians talking about their own experiences without putting down non-lesbian sapphics in some way. Those who do are far few and in-between.

[@PNM9_]

Will Wood has an ability to make songs that I can relate to in the strangest ways. For context I am a cis man but am not too traditionally masculine. To hear someone else express their own struggles with not being able to fit that traditional mold and to be able to embrace their more feminine traits without shame has helped me feel a bit more comfortable in my own skin since I've listened to this song. I had heard others talk about their own struggles before but this song here really spoke to me in ways that other stories just haven't before. What especially hurt me when I was younger is the fact that I had to get puberty artificially started for me because the part of my brain responsible for kickstarting that process just dosen't work correctly. This process involved me getting shots of testosterone in regular intervals and it made me feel like I was a freak. My anexiety during this time was at one of worst states it has ever been at. While I understand what I went through is fundamentally different, discovering the trans community has helped me feel less alone in the mess of what it means to be who I am.

I’m genderfluid and this is amazing. I love this song it’s so real. “And too confused who I should be” So true.

I LOVE how cis people, gender-fluid people, trans binary people and non-binary people can all relate to this song! I am a femdemiboy (femboy demiboy) and I relate too!

[@averagenewtlover]

“say my name like a slur, but I’ve been called worse” I felt that.

I love how this song understands so well the Gender-identity problems, anyone can understand how hard is be something because nobody is totally is the perfect trope of they own identity Sometimes a Cis Male don't want to be masculine Sometime a Cis Female don't want to be femenine But they still are what they are, and the same is equally right to the Trans people, and for nonbinary and all other possible identities This song is about YOU, Human being, you are not alone, we all feel the constant Imposter Syndrome

[@agent_llama2930]

As a cis man, I find this song extremely relatable in the fact that even though I am cis, that doesn't mean I can't be in touch with my feminine side.

[@deathorless]

Yeah... I’m Christian and I find myself talking like a girl and I like putting bows on my head

[@zero.3462]

I’ve found it. The most confusing trans song yet the one that makes the most sense. I went from he/him to she/her real quick.
