anger level :
i just wrote a cover of “what is this feeling” from wicked with elphaba as me and gelinda as the gender binary…
im sharing it…
okay so this is by no means perfect but
i had a lot of fun writing and singing it so im sharing it anyway !
(elliot is me, this is from the pov of an afab non binary person)
also warnings : mention of
misgendering, people supporting the gender binary and
transphobia/exorsexism
_________
Binary :
[spoken] Dear worldwide fans and admirers…
Elliot :
[spoken] …Dear friends
Both :
There’s been some confusion over gender here, you see…
Elliot : But
of course I will stand my ground
Binary : But
of course I’ll riiiiise above it
Both : For I
know that’s how you’ld want me to respond. Yes.
There’s been some
confusion for you see my hostress/AGAB
is…
Binary :
Unusually and exceedingly unwilling and altogether quite hard to
categorize…
Elliot :
Female.
Binary :
What is this feeling, so sudden and new ?
Elliot : I
felt the moment I laid eyes on you
Binary : My
pulse is rushing.
Elliot : My
head is reeling.
Binary : My
face is flushing !
Both : What
is this feeling ?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a
name ?
Yes…
Loathing !
Unadulterated loathing !
Binary : For
your name !
Elliot :
Your boxes !
Binary :
Your pronouns !
Both : Let’s
just say- I loathe it all !
Every little
trait how ever small
Makes my very
flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter
loathing !
There’s a strange
exhilaration
In such total
detestation !
It’s so pure,
it’s so stroooong !
True it did not
come quite that fast
Still I do
believe that it will last.
And I will be
loathing, loathing you,
My whole life
long !
Ensemble :
Dear Binary, you are just too good !
How do you stand
them, I don’t think I could !
They’re a terror,
they’re a rebel
We don’t mean to
show a bias
But Binary you’re
a martyr !
Binary :
Well, these things are sent to try us…
Ensemble :
Poor Binary, forced to reside
With someone so
unwilling to side !
We just want to
tell you, we’re all on your side !
Both : What is this feeling,
So sudden and new ?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you !
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
Oh, what is this feeling ?
Does it have a name ?
Yes…
Loathing !
Ensemble : We share your loathing,
Unadulterated loathing
For their name, their box, their
pronouns !
Let’s just say- We loathe it all !
Ev’ry little trait, however small
Makes our very flesh begin to crawl
Ahhh…
Loathing !
Both :
There’s a strange exhilaration, (loathing!)
In such total
detestation, (loathing!)
It’s so pure,
it’s so stroooong ! (so strong!)
True, it did not
come quite that fast,
But I do believe
that it will last !
And I will be
loathing for forever, (loathiiiing…)
Loathing, truly
deeply, (loathiiiing…)
Loathing you,
(loathing you…)
My whole life
long !
Ensemble :
Loathing, unadulterated loathing !
Elliot :
Boo !
Binary :
Ah !
Fuck JKR
