GERM

Girl, listen up
You're not radical (germ)
You're not rad at all (germ, germ, germ)

Girl, listen up
You're not radical
Exclusionary, regressive, misogynist (germ, germ)
No, you're not at rad at all

I feel no threat from any trans person that might be in the toilets
I've never felt threatened by a trans person, as it turns out
The 69,958 thousand rapes that were reported
Between October 2023 and September 24 in the UK
Do slightly concern me though
91% of people prosecuted for sexual offences are cis men aged 18 plus
The biggest threat to cis women sadly comes from cis men
These stats are from rape crisis

Girl, you're not radical
Exclusionary, regressive, misogynist (germ, germ)
No, you're not at rad at all
Girl, listen up (germ)

Women are facing serious dangers
Not during boxing matches or from trans people needing a piss
But from actual violence that is carried out against them every week
According to end violence against women
Every three days, a woman is killed by a man
More than 100,000 girls are at risk
And livin' with the consequences of FGM
Forced marriage and honour-based abuse

Kathryn Bromwich from The Guardian states
That trans people make up roughly 0.5% of the UK population
And are twice as likely to be victims of crime than cis people
According to home office figures
This country has seen an increase in hate crimes towards trans people
And cis women are supposed to focus on a threat
We have yet to see manifest from a small minority of the country
Who are struggling to stay safe themselves

Girl, you're not radical
Exclusionary, regressive, misogynist (germ, germ)
Yeah, you're not at rad at all
Er, ew, girl, listen up

Using feminism to erase the rights of others
And endanger them is inherently un-feminist
In my opinion, it is the responsibility of a feminist to be progressive
To learn from previous waves
But to always be pushing towards a new one
Feminism must be intersectional
It must never be used to discriminate against others
Feminism must not be used to bully
And berate both cis women and trans people

So let's start labelling things correctly, shall we?
These types of behaviours are transphobia and misogyny
You are not defending or protecting me
(You are not) you are not defending or protecting me
You say a cigar is a cigar
But a cigar cannot be compared to a human being
Can it you, fucking idiot?
By aligning yourself with the likes of Peterson, Elon, and Trump
You empower the mentality that women serve a purpose
And that's to be controlled and fucked

Men with power can do what they want
Men that struggle to express emotion
Or are living under the constant financial, social, and familial pressures
Of what society tells them being masculine is
Well, apparently they can just kill themselves

Suicide is the biggest killer in men under 50
125 people die by suicide every week according to Calm's website
Toxic masculinity isn't telling you that masculinity itself is toxic
It's telling you that toxic masculinity is toxic

Gender norms have harmed us
Society is nonsense
It's just a social construct
It's all a load of bollocks
And whilst things feel so unsafe
You've given the government
More control over my body and you make millions

And you have the audacity to critique what I say
To critique what they feel to incite slander and hate
You don't even have the right to perceive me
What are you protecting? You do not protect me

Girl, listen up
You're not radical (ah, ah)
No, you're not rad at all (ah, ah, ah)
(Na, na) germ, germ

Girl, listen up
Yeah, you're not radical
Exclusionary, regressive, misogynist (germ, germ)
You're not rad at all (ah, ah, germ)

Girl, listen up
Yeah, you're not radical
Exclusionary, exclusionary, regressive, misogynist
You're not rad at all

Germ, germ, germ-
