On December 15, 2017, as reported in the Washington Post, the Trump Administration gave a directive to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that official documents being prepared for the 2018 budget were not to contain the following words: Vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, fetus, evidence-based, science-based.
it’s more than a haircut, no clue in the clothes, our life and times are loaded, identity locked in binary, while the whole world is playing at drag
our position is unstable, from birth we are contradiction, looking different is one thing, a dangerous interdiction — not being clear is unwise, cross-wise
we’re careless with androgyny, insouciant with psychology that’s non-specific with inventions of desire both tactical and strategic
transgender is transcendence, vulnerable multiplicity — in cross-dressing we show intention, providing evidence-based intervention
it’s in the foetus and the embryo — our conviction that variety is more than in the binary… our entitlement is diversity
ambiguity is chameleon, identity is fluidity, science-based incorruptibility highlights truth — that’s in the evidence… it’s all something etymological
the words-based imbroglio of jeopardy in heterogeneity sees our queer bodies as vulnerable to the evangelical
we’re pushing back with queer, at odds with norms spelling false legitimacy, an unaligned body is gender-queer, what’s queer is clear— ambiguity
queer is bright in the spotlight, what are you looking at? what are ya? a straight forward, chameleon, interdiction
Note: interdiction is a military term for the act of delaying, disrupting or destroying enemy forces or supplies enroute to the battle area (Wikipedia)
