On dropping the qualifier

What happens when you put a qualifier in front of something?

It means it’s not typical

It means it’s unusual

Not normal

Not right

We’re implying

That the latter word needs further clarification

To help it make sense

Even if

Each of those words

Are perhaps true

Think about how absurd the opposite qualifier is

Are we accidentally celebrating

What’s keeping us contained in a box

Perpetuating false stereotypes

Let’s drop the qualifier

And just be who we are
