Mx. Adam Khan
"I’m a non-binary, neurodivergent social activist, community leader and academic who has been working with and for marginalised peoples since 2017. Gender to me is free from any perceptions which people place on the word. It’s something that has meaning to everyone individually.
For people who may be struggling with cisnormativity, my advice would be to know that we know ourselves individually, and that we are constantly evolving as each day passes. Your true self today is valid, just like you true self tomorrow will also be valid. It can, but doesn’t need to be the same self as today."
Queer and Done
Done am I with the establishment
Publicly propping up the gender criticals
TERF and SWERF ideology being accepted
Platforms given to literal fascists
Done am I with the violence
Murders motivated by systematic discrimination
Affecting my QTIPOC siblings disproportionately
So I stand with each and every one of them
Done am I with the waiting lists
Prolonging the mental agony
To get the recognition and changes
Which should be self-determined
Done am I with the microaggressions
Misgendering and malice
A daily barrage
On a daily basis
Done, I am
With the UK
Gender Deconstructed
Your old ways of thinking are so queer,
The future is now and it’s genderqueer.
Your construction of the gender binary,
Has been destructed by one non-binary.
I use they/them/their,
It’s what I always share.
I embrace gender nonconformity,
And it works for me, harmoniously.
My title Mx.,
Is not complex.
My pronouns are required, not preferred,
And all neopronouns should be affirmed.
Just because I look cisgender,
Does not mean I’m not transgender.
I do not owe you androgyny,
Within this prevalence of heteronormativity.
This is my own gender expression,
It is not a sign of regression.
The medical model demanding gender dysphoria,
Disregards my gender euphoria.
Gender is different to sexual or romantic orientation,
The constant comparison needs cessation.
It isn’t just to forbid,
The reality of the genderfluid.
Multiple identities within me intersect,
Each one working together to connect.
Everything is socially constructed,
Race, gender, and disability should be deconstructed.
The personal is the political,
Global change is critical.
Despite the daily misgender,
I won’t accept or surrender.
