You can reject definitions created by other people though.
I don't like that people call me a fat 30 something year old because I feel like a skinny teenager. I want to be defined as a skinny 15 year old. I've decided to define how I feel about myself with the word ageless. Adding my prefix I'm ante-gender. Ante being the prefix coming from latin meaning 'before'.
My gender means that I am to be recognised as a skinny man who never ages. I remain a 15 year old for the rest of my life. Who's to say age is this objective phenomenon. Many people say they feel younger or older than what they really are! Why shouldn't we be recognised for the age we feel? Like gender age CAN be subjective.
Accept my definition or be classed a bigot. |
