"Loud and Clear"- What to do when a "close friend" refuses to respect your identity and pronoun choices 

In a conversation with a fellow queer huemyn, we concluded that if a so called friend actively refuses to follow one's pronoun preferences, it's not only an act of erasure and disrespect, it is as though that person knows you are allergic to peanuts and yet insists on feeding them to you right there and then as they and everyone else watch you have a painful reaction.

This piece is layered with spoken word, vocal and instrumental loops and narrative lead vocals and is inspired by Laurie Anderson and Meshell Ndegeocello. Enjoy, preferably while dancing in drag!
