Growing up my grandma said I looked just like my dad
But every time she said that, it made me feel so bad
I don’t want to look like a guy or boy or man
I just want to look as androgenous as I can
I’ve always been different as far as I can tell
Always slow to pick up on new knowledge or a spell
Never fit in here nor there, neither pink nor blue
In a world of 1s and 0s, I’ve always been a 2
I think that the Sorting Hat has made a big mistake
I just wish it could have been my choice to make
Plus my birth certificate says I was born a male
Sometimes I really think that my body is a jail
I’ve always been different as far as I can tell
Always slow to pick up on new knowledge or a spell
Never fit in here nor there, neither pink nor blue
In a world of 1s and 0s, I’ve always been a 2
Anytime I try to dress up different, people stare
Why is it so hard to use the pronouns they/them/their?
Sometimes I will use the Common Room just to sleep
In the boy’s dormitory, I feel like the black sheep
I’ve always been different as far as I can tell
Always slow to pick up on new knowledge or a spell
Never fit in here nor there, neither pink nor blue
In a world of 1s and 0s, I’ve always been a
I’ve always been different as far as I can tell
Always slow to pick up on new knowledge or a spell
Never fit in here nor there, neither pink nor blue
In a world of 1s and 0s, I’ve always been a 2

Just Because

Just because I’m feminine doesn’t mean I’m a girl
Don’t you know that there are many genders in this world?
Just because I wear earrings of the radish kind
Doesn’t make me less agender in my mind
Just because I happen to have a higher sounding voice
Just because I’m wearing a pretty dress by choice
Just because I paint my nails with many different colors
Doesn’t mean that one day I’m going to be a mother
Just because I’m feminine doesn’t mean I’m a girl
Don’t you know that there are many genders in this world?
Just because I wear earrings of the radish kind
Doesn’t make me less agender in my mind
Just because other people put me in a box
Just because I like to collect shiny rocks
Just because I grow my hair out nice and long
Doesn’t mean that I fit in or belong
Just because I’m feminine doesn’t mean I’m a girl
Don’t you know that there are many genders in this world?
Just because I wear earrings of the radish kind
Doesn’t make me less agender in my mind
Just because I don’t take hormones or have surgery
Doesn’t mean that I’m not valid living life as me
Just because you assume, that doesn’t make you right
Just because I’m gentle doesn’t mean I won’t fight
Just because I’m feminine doesn’t mean I’m a girl
Don’t you know that there are many genders in this world?
Just because I wear earrings of the radish kind
Doesn’t make me less agender in my mind
Just because I’m feminine doesn’t mean I’m a girl
Don’t you know that there are many genders in this world?
Just because I wear earrings of the radish kind
Doesn’t make me less agender in my mind

(It’s the boy who lived!)
Yo, quit callin’ me that, let’s get back on track
I’m not a boy, not your toy to keep gawking at
Yeah my parents both died just to keep me alive
But can we stop for a minute with the gender attack?
Don’t think that you know me
Unless you know I’m enby
Y’all are green with envy for the “boy who lived”
I’m just here to set you straight
No, I won’t negotiate
I’ve given all my friends all that I have to give
You can call me Harry, but please don’t call me “boy”
I’m not here to be your personal gender envoy
Educate yourself, use Google, find some help
But cut it out with tellin’ me that I’m “the man”
I’m not sure I can fix your problem, stan
‘Til you open up your mind and think outside the brand
Of grand ideas, push aside your fears
And see me for who I really am
HP out!

The triwizard champions are very good friends
And none of the 3 are cisgender
They will do what it takes to get to the end
And by that time they will be better
Fleur is a trans girl who applied to her school
Worried that she wouldn’t get in
As soon as they saw that she was no fool
She never got called “he” or “him”
The triwizard champions are very good friends
And none of the 3 are cisgender
They will do what it takes to get to the end
And by that time they will be better
Viktor from Durmstrang, he is genderqueer
And happy to be in the game
He loves that his friends support him all year
And call him Viktoria, his feminine name
The triwizard champions are very good friends
And none of the 3 are cisgender
They will do what it takes to get to the end
And by that time they will be better
From Hogwarts we have Cedric Diggory
Who is a nonbinary Hufflepuff
Excited for the tournament and ready
To show that he’s got the stuff
The triwizard champions are very good friends
And none of the 3 are cisgender
They will do what it takes to get to the end
And by that time they will be better

Bill Weasley is bi
Bill Weasley is fabulous
Bill can rock a suit or a gown
Bill Weasley’s bigender
Bill Weasley’s a rebel
Bill will never let you down
Bill was the first trans person to work at Gringotts Bank
They told him “pick a gender, male or female,” his heart sank
So he crossed off both the boxes, to their surprise
He told them he was not just another guy
Bill Weasley is bi
Bill Weasley is fabulous
Bill can rock a suit or a gown
Bill Weasley’s bigender
Bill Weasley’s a rebel
Bill will never let you down
A sometimes guy and sometimes girl and sometimes in between
Bill will use most any pronoun, not to cause a scene
But to be authentic and to finally be
The oldest and the queerest nonbinary Weasley
Bill Weasley is bi
Bill Weasley is fabulous
Bill can rock a suit or a gown
Bill Weasley’s bigender
Bill Weasley’s a rebel
Bill will never let you down
His fashion style’s wizard punk, an earring with a fang
He will never talk about the time when he had bangs
Bill will help you come out to anyone you need
He’s got your back, he’ll be supportive, just follow his lead
Bill Weasley is bi
Bill Weasley is fabulous
Bill can rock a suit or a gown
Bill Weasley’s bigender
Bill Weasley’s a rebel
Bill will never let you down

Hagrid is genderflux, he’s the best mom you could get
He’ll make you tea and yummy sweets when you get upset
He’ll give you a hug so big, it will crush your bones
But you feel safe when he’s around; you never feel alone
Hagrid is a self-proclaimed mom
Hagrid knows what’s going on
He’ll spend all night to bake a cake
To give to you in a shack on a lake
Hagrid won’t give up on you
Hagrid knows just what to do
He’ll listen and give you advice
Because he cares, he’s not just being nice
Hagrid, we love you too
With his pink umbrella, he’ll protect you from harm
And his great big smile is sure to charm
He cares about his creatures more than himself
He wants to do whatever it takes to help
Hagrid is a self-proclaimed mom
Hagrid knows what’s going on
He’ll spend all night to bake a cake
To give to you in a shack on a lake
Hagrid won’t give up on you
Hagrid knows just what to do
He’ll listen and give you advice
Because he cares, he’s not just being nice
Hagrid, we love you too
Hagrid will support you, no matter who you are
If you change your name or pronouns he’ll tell you you’re a star
He’s the most supportive mom there could ever be
He wants you to be yourself and for you to be free
Hagrid we love you too

Yeah I’m genderfluid ‘cause I take after my mom
I wish I got to know her ‘cause I hear she was the bomb
I wish I knew my father too but they both died at war
Long before I even knew what they were fighting for
I fight for equal rights and gender equality
My grandma says I have my parents’ fighting spirit in me
I’m a Hufflepuff and I live up to that name
I want everybody’s chances in life to be the same
Right now I’m campaigning for another set of rooms
To be put into each House that nonbinaries can use
We know there are more than just two genders in the world
So why do we still only have a boy’s dorm and a girl’s?
I fight for equal rights and gender equality
My grandma says I have my parents’ fighting spirit in me
I’m a Hufflepuff and I live up to that name
I want everybody’s chances in life to be the same
I got my pin changed to Head Student from Head Boy
Just that tiny change brought me so much joy
All the bathrooms on the even floors are gender neutral
The work that we are doing here at Hogwarts is so crucial
I fight for equal rights and gender equality
My grandma says I have my parents’ fighting spirit in me
I’m a Hufflepuff and I live up to that name
I want everybody’s chances in life to be the same
I fight for equal rights and gender equality
My grandma says I have my parents’ fighting spirit in me
I’m a Hufflepuff and I live up to that name
I want everybody’s chances in life to be the same

Weasleys

When Molly started having kids she thought that it would be
Normal to assign at birth their identity
But little did she know of what was yet to come
She thought she had a daughter and six older sons
But every single Weasley is trans
None of them of a woman or a man
Bill’s bigender, Charlie’s ace, the twins are genderless
Percy’s femme, Ginny’s butch, and Ron is just a mess
After Molly learned about the gender spectrum
She sat down with all her kids and Arthur just to tell them
She has always felt that people put her in a box
And from now on she will be out as proudly genderflux
But every single Weasley is trans
None of them of a woman or a man
Bill’s bigender, Charlie’s ace, the twins are genderless
Percy’s femme, Ginny’s butch, and Ron is just a mess
Arthur started studying this in the Muggle world
He knew there that was more to it than merely boys and girls
So some self-reflection is exactly what he did
And came out to his family as genderfluid
But every single Weasley is trans
None of them of a woman or a man
Bill’s bigender, Charlie’s ace, the twins are genderless
Percy’s femme, Ginny’s butch, and Ron is just a mess

Fluid and Flexible

I can change my facial features every single day
Don’t you know I’m genderfluid, born to be this way?
I can be tall, short, or wide, skinny or a chonk
But don’t you call me Nymphadora, please just call me Tonks
Some days I feel masculine, others like a girl
You want bright pink spiky hair? I’ll give that a whirl
I’m fluid and I’m flexible and always down for fun
I’m unique and special - of me there’s only one
I can rock some Muggle clothes and wizard robes as well
Will I wear a dress or suit? You can never tell
I look good in tuxes, swimsuits, even Crocs
I make anything look good, just you watch
Some days I feel masculine, others like a girl
You want bright pink spiky hair? I’ll give that a whirl
I’m fluid and I’m flexible and always down for fun
I’m unique and special - of me there’s only one
Some days I feel masculine, others like a girl
You want bright pink spiky hair? I’ll give that a whirl
I’m fluid and I’m flexible and always down for fun
I’m unique and special - of me there’s only one
Even though I can change my looks, I’m body positive
Hiding who you are and how you look’s no way to live
Anyone who body-shames my friends better watch their back
With my arsenal of spells, I’m ready to attack
Some days I feel masculine, others like a girl
You want bright pink spiky hair? I’ll give that a whirl
I’m fluid and I’m flexible and always down for fun
I’m unique and special - of me there’s only one

RAB

There are lots of questions about RAB
Like why he took the locket and sent it out to sea
What those initials stood for, and whose side he was on
And another question: where had his gender gone?
Assigned [redacted] at birth, Regulus knows
His gender is a mystery wherever he goes
That’s the way he likes it, so that’s the way it stays
He and his gender have long since parted ways
Even as a Seeker out on the Quidditch pitch
People always asked if he was a wizard or a witch
When Death Eaters asked him to sign up and enlist
He marked his gender down as: does not exist
Assigned [redacted] at birth, Regulus knows
His gender is a mystery wherever he goes
That’s the way he likes it, so that’s the way it stays
He and his gender have long since parted ways
Sorted into Slytherin, he kept his secrets well
What was on his birth certificate, he’d never tell
What the Dark Lord tried to do with his house-elf slave
He would take those secrets to his dark watery grave
Assigned [redacted] at birth, Regulus knows
His gender is a mystery wherever he goes
That’s the way he likes it, so that’s the way it stays
He and his gender have long since parted ways

When The War Came
by Avery Marshall
supported by 5 fans who also own “Out of the Binary”
A gorgeous second album that holds up well to the high standard set by the first. The sweet love songs are back, along with an ode to Ron Weasley, a gorgeous metawrock song (and I'm not usually a big fan of metawrock), a couple of spiritual successors to songs from the debut album and one of my favourite DH Chapter 34 songs ever, among other gems. The fact that Avery is a songwriting genius cannot be understated.
