Frameshift
Guppy Shaffer
 
 
‘Girl’ was never a box I fit into very soundly but the idea of ‘he’ doesn’t feel quite right either
When choosing to wear a push-up or sports bra defines which chromosomes I have each morning, the thought of choosing a gender leaves my DNA unraveled
Even though the lumps of flesh attached to my chest scream ‘female’ my brain only puts in minimal effort to make this a reality
Insertion and deletion are more likely to result in a frameshift mutation, screwing up my entire genetic makeup until it’s an unintelligible mess, and your constant pressure isn’t helping slow the process down
